" Tole Pouches BARTENDER SUICIDES Alex McGinnis Found Dead in His Room at the Tre- mont Saturday Night. TOOK STRYCHNINE ROUTE AND DEATH CAME QUICKLY. Domestic Troubles Said to Be Cause of Decision to End His Life. Alex MecGinnis, a bartender employed at the Bank saloon, was found dead in his room at the Tremont hotel Saturday night about 11:30 o’clock. Upon the commode by his bedside stood a bottle of beer, half drank, and a small vial containing a few grains of strychnine sulpbate, and from all appearances the man is a victim of suicide. He was found by Thomas Nel- son, his room mate, who intend- ed to retire for the night. Nel- son went up stairs and when he entered the room saw McGinnis lying upon the bed, face up, with all his clothes on excepting his shoes, which were lying by the bedside. Nelson did not think for the moment that anything was wrong, and attempted to wake the man, but was horrified to find that the man was dead. He immediately told the proprie- tor of the house, who telephoned. for City Health Officer Ward and Deputy Coroner Lahr, who ar- rived in a few minutes and made an examination of the man and the room, after which the re- mains were taken to the morgue, where they will await burial. McGinnis arriyved in the city about three weeks ago, and it is thought that he came here in quest of his wife, from whom he was divorced six years ago. He found the woman, Mrs. Delia McGinnis, who was staying with a family in this city, but after the first meeting she left for Duluth, and has been staying in that city at 244 East First street since the meeting. He went to work as bartender at the Bank saloon two weeks ago yesterday and has been em- ployed there ever since. On Sat- urday night he came into the saloon and secured $1 in money, and from there went to another saloon, where he bought a round of drinks, afterwards purchasing a bottle of beer: He left there at 11 o’clock, and it is thought that he went directly to his room and took the poison, as the body was warm when found, and it was evident that he had been PRINCESS Grocery Co.

Sheriff Bailey Notified and In- vestigation of the Affair Will Follow. TFred. Cook, who lives a half mile from Carmel postoffice, on some day last week, found the body ofa trapper in township 157, range 34, about 15 miles north of the upper end of Red Lake, Cook was traveling through the woods when he came upon the body of the man, and an investigation of the place leads him to believe that there was an- other man with the trapper at the time of his death. The following letter was re- ceived yesterday by Sheriff Bailey is explanatory in itself: Carmel P. O., Feb. 8, 1905. Sheriff of Beltrami County: A tew lines to you about a man Ifound up here in the woods dead. He has been trapping and is lying by his old camping place.

The clearance sale conducted for the past two weeks by Schneider Bros. has proved very successful in moving a big stock of winter goods.

Schueider left this noon for New York where he will make extensive purchases of spring and summer goods. Schneider Bros. have carried on S0 extensive a business that they are enabled to buy directly from the manufactures very advanta- geously and the firm will place on display in Bemidji the coming season a magnificent stock of stylish furnishings for men.

Nelson, the roem mate of the dead man, says that McGinnis has contemplated ending his life for some time past, as on Friday night as they were both lying in the bed together, McGinnis told him that he intended to end.his existence, as he wished to get away from his troubles. This was verified this morning when an examination of the man’s valise was made, a bottle of laudanum being found in the bot- tom of it. Mrs. McGinnis has been noti- fied of the death of McGinnis, and two brothers who are now in the west will be. located as soon as possible and given notice of the affair. These are the only known relatives of the dead man. IN WOODS| EXAMINED Teachers’ Fxamination of State Certificates Was Concluded Saturday. FORTY-FIVE TEACHERS WERE IN ATTENDANCE.

Morrison Leaves to Take Post Graduate ‘Course. MODERN SURGERY WITHOUT THE KNIFE. Wonderful Advances Made in Medical Science During the Past Few Years. Dr. W. R. Morrison, accom- panied by Mrs. Morrison and daughter, left this morning for the south and east. rison will visit her parents dur- ing the doctor’s absence while the latter, accompanied by Mr. B. A. Schneider will leave Chicago Wednesday for Florida, whence the trip to New York will be|Wr made by water. Dr. Morrison will spend six weeks in New York city taking post graduate work on the eye, ear, nose and throat, subjects in which he has specialized and in which he secured a special de- gree at Chicago last year. It is vrobable that he will be gone about three months. Dr. Fowler of Blackduck will have charge of his office and his practice during Dr. Morrison’s absence. Dr. Morrison’s practice along these special lines has been grow- ing very rapidly and he feels that it is but due to his clients that he should put himself in touch with tiie best that modern medical science has to offer. Not only will he make a specialty of the diseases of these organs but he will specialize particularly as to the eye, and as an occulist, will be prepared to fit glasses, etc. One remrarkable -feature 1n modern practice is the cure of certain diseased organs without the use of the knife. A recent patient of Dr. Morrison’s is a good example. The patient was a child of well known Bemidji people; she was cross-eyed, and the usual remedy in such cases is an operation.
