answers to the same advertisement. As it has been impossible to answer all have picked out the most respectable and I have decided that yours is such.
 First, I will tell you I am Nor wegian and have been in this country for twenty years. l lives in Indiana, about fifty-nine miles from Chicago. and one mile north of La Porte. 1 am the owner Of a nice home in d pret- ty location. There are seventy five acres of land, also all kinds of Irops, improved land, apples. plums and cur rents. I am on a boulevard road and have a 12-room house, practically new. a windmill and all modern improve ments, situated in a beautiful suburb of Chicago, worth about $15,000. All of this is nearly paid for. It is in my own name. I am alone with three small children from five to eleven years old. The smallest is little boy and the largest are girls, all frisky and well. I lost my husband by an acci- dent five years ago, and since have tried to get along as well as l could with what help I could hire. I am getting tired of this and have found that it is not we'll to trust others with so much.
 Tt is too much for me to look after things, and things are not as I wan them anyway. My idea is to take 6 partner to whom I can trust every thing. As we have no acquaintance ourselves I have decided that every ap. plicant I considered favorable mus make satisfactory deposit of cash ol ] security. I think that is the best way for parties to keep away grafters. whC are always looking for such oppor tunities. as I have had experience witl them, as l can prove.
 Now if you think that you are abl, | to in some way to put up $1.000 cash
 we can talk matters over personally i if you cannot, it is not worth while t, 1 consider. I would not care for you as
 a hired man, as am tired of that ant | need little rest in my home and nea

He pleaded with him to do something to save his darling daughter. suggesting. that doctor be called as she might not yet be dead. Asked what doctor he wanted Wagner said any one he could get, and quick ly.
 Mir. Strait mounted his wheel and rode to the brickyard where he tele- phoned to Dr. Hughes. The doctor came at once in his automobile, arriV- ing before MT. Strait returned. As the latter approached the doctor asked if he had summoned an undertaken and he replied he had not as he was not certain anybody was dead. The doc tor then informed him that both Wag- ner and his daughter were dead.
 How Ho Got Out of It.
 What transpired during MT. Straits absence. is given as the latter learned it from Mrs. Strait and others who had assembled in the meantime. Wag- ner after pacing to and fro told Mrs. Strait that he could not stand it but was going to join his angel daughter. or words to that effect. She suspected that he referred to suicide and told him that would only make things worse and to wait until Mir. Strait returned. Wagner immediately seized a single barrel shotgun and leaving the women standing by the door of the house. passed through a gate in a high wire fence that surround the house and into a little roadway in front of the house. where with the wire fence between him and the women he placed the muZzle of the gun in his mouth and in some manner reached and pulled the trig- ger the women covering their faces or turning their heads as he performed the awful deed. He fell across the road with his feet toward the house. When the coroner arrived the shotgun lay under one foot. his right arm Iergthwise with his body. his left hand on hi5 breast. his face turned a little to the right and his head above the bridge of the nose practically blown away. The skull was emptied and it's contents were strewn over a radius of ten or fifteen feet.

A frightful tragedy was enacted about 5:30 o'clock last evening at the home of Frank Wagner, a half mile south ot Eastlake park, on the Hem shaw road As the result of it the bodies of Wagner and his fourteen year-old daughter Maggie. are now in the mOrgue of Easterling & Whitney. Mystery surrounds the case in re- spect of the death of the girl. though Wagner's passing was suicidal. On the face of things as they appeared in. the first hasty examination of Deputy Sheriff Wayne Davis. and as they also appeared at first when the coroner's investigation began. the girl died also by her own hand, but deeper inquiry has revealed things that will require further explanation to satisfy the jury that the father did not first take the life of his daugher. It appeared last night that there was no witness to the killing of the girl. though young man named Tomas Talamantes had been talking to her only few minutes before. He has been employed by Wagner but after the tragedy went after friends of the family and had not returned when Coroner Johnstone and the jury visited the premises.
 His Awful Trouble.
 The story of A. L. Strait Wagner's nearest neighbor is the most explicit as to the order of events occurring in the episode. He said Wagner appeared at the line fence between their proper-' ties. hundred yards or so from Wag ner's house. and called to him. saving he was in awful trouble and asking him to come over He replied that he had always been his friend and would do anything he could. Then Wagner told him that Maggie had killed her self He accompanied Wagner to the house and entering Che kitchen saw her as the jury, pr. H. A. Hughes and many others did later lying on her back on the floor with her head near the stove and her feet near the kitch- en table. A revolver lay across her breast and her mother had by that time arrived and was bathing her face and trying to revive her for it was hoped she was not dead. She had been shot in the mouth, a couple of her teeth being gone, and the blood was ooZing from her lips. She seemed to Mir Strait to be breathing yet. Tn the meantime Wagner was walking the

THE SNOW CONTRACTS.
Suggestion That City Should Do
This Work to PreUent Graft.

To the Editor OF The Tribune
Sir: The criticism of the work OF the Depart
nlent OF Street Cleaning in the matter Of snow re-
moval which has become annual feature IN
this city, is unjust in one way. The department.
is unable to compel contractors to perform the
work properly, and the cost to the taxpayers OF
an inadequate system Of removal is rendered e1-
cessive by the continuance of the contract system
The department should be allowed to clean the
streets Itself. without the present necessity OF mir
ing contractors every time. there is snowfall OF
more than three inches Then, If the work was not
DONE it would be impossible for the city officials
to seek to shift the blame.
At present the contractors IL they are dishonest
or the number of dishonest employees that
even an honest contractor IS sure 10 have-have
tempting opportunities to graft There Is the trick
of loading a snow wagon from a private yard
which was in successful operation until Deputy
Commissioner Edwards discovered 1t the other day
There is & fine opportunity for cOllusion between
drivers and loading and dump foremen. and II Is
certain that the city has paid. and viii pay foT
many loads Of snow that were never removed
Proper supervision of every load Of snow removed
by contractors Is impossible. and years OF patient
effort have failed 10 produce a checking system
that could be made 70 serve the purposes OF
dishonest contractors or drivers. The city can do
the work better and more cheaply, IN the opinion
of many well acquainted with the mechanism OF
the Street Cleaning Department, and II Is dlrcuII
TO see why an important municipal department
should turn over its most important function 70 a

cause the Board of Education does not engage
married women. Here then. is found BODY OF
nearly fifteen thousand employees, SS per cent OF

individual living wage. which wage, because OF
their overwhelming number, constitutes me resu-

L per cent men, employed only because OF the
need of a sprinkIing of men in so great a system,
is paid an exceptional wage, what IS theoretically
a family living wage" and 1t would seem wei
both for society at large and for the pupils that
the men teachers should be fathers II IS founs
that over 50 per cent OF the high school men In
New York are married. The average family con-

Sir: 7 read with interest Mr.. Samuel B. Hill

TO who served as President OF the United states
for one day He cites D. r. Atchison OF MS

and March g. is4s as President, because March
fell On Sunday.
If he Is correct IN this case then ~e nave had
several interim Presidents March has fallen
on Sunday several times.
If Mr. Hill will search American history he
will discover that IN July. 1903, President James
Madison left Washington TO look after affairs on
his plantation in Virginia During this absence
he delegated Albert Gallatin, OF Pennsylvania
who at this time was Secretary OF the Treasury
