Aohill* Roux, a farmer living at Rice
Lake. «as found dead at the Grand
Central hotel. Seventh and Wabasha
Streets, early yesterday afternoon un
der circumstances which create some
dcu^t as to whether he ended his life
Intentionally or met accidental death.
The gas in ihe room was turned on full
force, showing that Roux died from
asph; xiation, but it is uncertain
whether Roux blew out the gas igno
rant ;y. 01 purposely left the jet open.
Tin- indications seem to point to sui
cide, i- 1 which theory Deputy Coroner
1.. A. Kelson, who investigated the
- inclined, but Roux's friends de
clare that he had absolutely no reason
i"<>: ending his life, and maintain that
his death was due to accident.
The farmer came to St. Paul with
his wife Friiay for the purpose of hav
ing an operation performed upon Mrs.
il<- ux. The couple visited Dr. Marquis,
Who advised that Mrs. Roux be taken
St. Joseph? hospital. Later the op
eration was successfully performed.
Po->i:x appeared elated because of the
that his wife had passed through
the ordeal so satisfactorily. Dr. Mar
ouis took him to the hotel about 6
o'clock. Roux left the hotel after sup
par ami returned shortly after 9 o'clock.
The clerk assisted him to his room and
left him lying on the bed with his
cloth-s on. The clerk says when he
■went out cf the room he turned off the
Kas and left the room unlocked, while
the transom was open.
•. Iluux's absence from breakfast
and dinner yesterday excited some sus
picion an investigation showed that
the door to his room was locked, while
the" trar.sora was closed. The door
was i.ri ken open, when the body was
four, x under the bed covers, partially
dfSeoht I. The different condition of af
fatrs from those when the clerk left
Roux ihe night before showed plainly
that the farmer had been up during
the night. The fact that the door was
looked and the transom closed. Deputy
Oor,.ner Kelson thinks, indicates that
Roux intended to asphyxiate himself
ar.d took these precautions to make
death more certain. On the other hand
Dr. Marquis says Roux had absolutely
co reason to kiir himself. He says
Roux was overjoyed at the outcome of
the operation on his wife and was in a
happy frame of mind when he reached
the hotel. Dr. Marquis says Roux un
doubtedly got up to undress himself
after the clerk left him. and knowing
nothing of how to turn off the gas, ig-
Eorantly blew .out the flame.
Roux was twenty-eight years of age

CATARRH OF STOMACH.
A Pleasant. Simple, but Safe and Ef
fectual fare for It.
Catarrh of the stomach has long been
considered the next thing to Incurable.
She usual symptoms are a frill or
bloating sensation after eating, accom
panied sometimes with sour or watery
iisings, a formation of gases, causing
pressure on the heart and lungs and
difficult breathing, headaches, fickle ap
petite, nervousness and a general play
ed out. languid feeling.
there is often a foul taste in the
jnouth. coated tongue and if the in
terior of the stomach could be seen it
■would show a slimy, inflamed condi
tion.
The cure of this common and ob-
Btinate trouble is found In a treatment
tvhich causes the food to be readily,
thoroughly digested before it has time
to ferment and irritate the delicate
mucous surfaces of trie stomach. To
secure a prompt and healthy digestion
Is the one necessary thing to do, and
■when normal digestion is secured the
catarrhal condition will have disap
peared.
According to Dr. Harlanson the
Bafest and best treatment is to use af
ter each meal a tablet, composed of
{Diatase. Aseptic Pepsin, a little N'ui,
Golden Seal and fruit acids. These
tablets can now be found at all drug
■tores under the name of Stuart's Dys
pepsia Tablets and not being a patent
medicine can be used with perfect
safety and assurance '.hat healthy ap
petite and thorough digestion will fol
low their regular use after meals
Mr. X. J. Booher. of 2710 Dearborn
street. Chicago, HI., writes: "Catarrh is
a local condition resulting from a ne
glects I cold in the head, whereby the
lining membrane of the nose becomes
Inflamed and the poisonous discharge
therefrom passftig backward into the
throat reaches the stomach, thus pro
ducing catarrh of the stomach. Medi
cal authorities prescribed for me for
three years for catarrh of stomach
•without cure, but today I am the hap
piest of men after using only one box
of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. I can
not find appropriate words to express
niy good feeling. I have found flesh,
appetite, and sound rest from their
Use."
Sttisrrfs Dyspepsia Tablets Is the
Bifest preparation as well as the sim
plest and most convenient remedy for
any form of indigestion, catarrh of
stomach, biliousness, sour stomach,
heartburn and'blbarfng after meals.

ARE ALL BUYING FURNITURE
MR. J. M'lilLL SMITH RETIRVS
FROM V BVSIN'ESS TRIP TO
t;RAXD RAPIDS
Says That Dealers In Household
(>o>o<l» Vre Purchasing? Heavily In
Anticipation of a liood Trade the
(oiuliiix Year.
"The. outlook for the furniture busi
ness in the United States was never
brighter," said J. Mct3ill Smith, of
Smith & Farwell company, last evening
upon his return from Chicago. "While
away I visited Grand Rapida and the
city was crowded with furniture buy
ers from all parts of the country. You
know Grand Rapids is where several
of the largest factories in the United
States are located, and is always a
Mecca for furniture men from every
section at this time of the year. The
hotels are all full and the factories are
behind in their orders. Of course, the
manufacturers always anticipate the
retailer by about a month or six weeks,
so we may be looking for the big trade
about April 1. which now- falls to the
manufacturer. There are the best of
reasons why every one in the furniture
business believes that this year will be
a record-breaker for the volume of
trade. As a basU we have flattering
rerorts of the improvement of business
conditions in all branches of indus
try, and particularly in those which
most effect the wage earning class.
Again v.c have last year's trade to fall
back upon. Certainly the conditions
this year will be better than last, now
that the uncertainty of the war has
passed from over our heads. I think,
too, that the number of buyers in
Grand Rapids and the amount of their
invoices will greatly exceed the records
made in previous years..
"Our business does not begin to pick
up until about April 1, when the peo
ple commence to recover from the ef
fects of their coal bills and have a lit
tle time to think about other things.
The year of the furniture trade is prac
tically from April t to Jan. 1. All sum
mer we enjoy a good trade, but after
the first of the year it quiets down and
not much is done until spring.
"People bought a much better grade
of furniture last year than heretofore,
although it can be said that the people
of the Xorthwest have no use for any
except a substantial piece of house
hold furniture. We sell the best fur
niture that can be made, yet there is
but little market tn the Xorthwest for
high-priced bric-a-brac, and what
might be called fancy stock. In short,
our trade is mostly in substantial, well
built furniture, which is finished to
a high state of perfection. We sell a
great deal more of the medium-priced
stock than of the cheap.
"The war has had no effect, other
than in a general way upon the fur
niture business in the United States.
It may be when our American soldiers
lay the foundation of civilization in the
Philippines that furniture may be a
large export item. However, this i 3
for the future. It is our home trade
which we are most interested In.
"Yes. there are a number of large
and well established factories in Chi
cago, which find market for their pro
duction in all parts of Xorth America,
yet Grand Rapids seems to have first
place, as It is the place where all buy
ers go when selecting stock. The Chi
cago houses are doing the biggest busi
ness on record this year. And bust
ness can't be any to good this year,
as margins are not as large as they
used to be."
NOW HE'S FRIDAY ~MORNING.
Adolph Ha* His \ame Changed for
His Friends' SaUes.
Over in Germany Adolph Freitag wa3.per
fectly satisfied with his name, but -when he
came to Minnesota, eight years ago, ,to grow
up with the country, he found that his cogno
men had disadvantages. Accordingly he ap
plied to the district court for relief, and pes
terdaj- Judge Bunn granted him permission to
change hia name to Adolph Jlorgen.
According to Mr. Freitag, he ; wai, by rea
son of the name, exposed to many annoyances
and inconveniences in the transaction of busi
ness. (Unlearned people rudely insisted on
spelling the name Freetag. or giving it the
English translation of Friday.
In casting about for a .substitute Mr Frei
tag came to the conclusion that the next thing
to Freitag would be morning, and fie accord
ingly selected Morgen as the title under
which he would like to conduct his business.

WroiiK.
State Agent Gates has been giving
the officials of other states some val
uable pointers on handling insane peo
ple. Last week he was called to Jack
son, Minn., where he found an insane
man who had been deported into this
state by the sheriff from Davenport,
le, bound hand and foot, and accom
panied by three deputies.
Mr. Gates arrived on the scene after
the sheriff and his associates had, af
ter resorting to a subterfuge, palmed
eff the insane man upon the county
jailor and lett on the next train for
lowa.
While the lowa authorities had found
It necessary to tie the man so that he
cculd scarcely move, Mr. Gates, with
the assistance of the local police offi
cials, released the man. and lie didn't
tear his hair or anybody's else.
The case is the most novel one that
has come to the notice of the state
board of corrections and charities. It
It seems that the insane man came up
to work for a relative in Jackson coun
ty under a nine-month contract early
last spring. When he had completed
the work he returned to lowa, and
while on the train he was taken vio
lently insane, and was adjudged insane
by tlie judge of probate at Davenport,
10.
The lowa state board of control,
which corresponds to the state board
of corrections and charities in this
state, issue.! an order to have him re
turned to this state. The sheriff, in
compliance with the order, brought the
man back to Jackson. The judge of
probate and the local police officials
refused to accept the charge. Finally
the sheriff of Jackson county agreed
to keep the man over night in the
county jail if the lowa people would be
lesponsible for him and take charge of
him the next day.
But the sheriff of lowa and his as
sociates took a night train for home.
State Agent Gates was sent for, and
he Is now demanding some explana
tion from the lowa board of control.
It was conclusively proven at a hear
ing before the probate judge last Fri
day that the man's residence was in
Davenport and always had been.
Mr. Gates says the patient was
shamefully mistreated by the lowa
sheriff.
STILL KEEP IT UP.
Some of the Coancilmen After a New
Patrol System.
The committees on police of the assembly
and the board of aldermen held a meeting
yesterday afternoon and recommended that
Electrical Expert Willius be directed to make
an inspection of the present police patrol
telephone system. This step grows out of a
recommendation from Supt. King, of the tel
ephone system, and Chief Goss for a new pa
trol telephore system. A new system, such as
is proposed, will cost the city about $15,000-
When this matter first came up, there was
some strong opposition to the proposed
change. Some members of the council had
an idea that the present system was wholly
adequate to the needs of the department, and
were rather dubious about spending - |15,0 C*}
for a cew system. An enterprising electrical
manufacturing firm, however, took time by
the forelock and put in a working model of
their system at the central station So It
looks now as though it had some sort of an
idea of where it was at. Aid. Kenny is strong
ly opposed to tie outlay of $13,000, claiming
that a small percentage of this amount will
put the present system in first-class workin*
order *
The report of Expert Willius, if he is or
dered by the council to proceed, may recom
mend the adoption of a new system, or th«
repairing of the system now in use.

HAS THE CITY MONEY?
Prohlem That Confront* Advocate*
»f the New flfctifcet.
The members of the council are In a quaa
dary as to whether there U any money now
available iv the treasury w\th, which to secure
a market site and erect sheds. Comptroller
McCardy, according to oa) : of the aldermen,
stated there was a fund on hand which could
be used for this purpose.
A member of the assembly who interviewed
the comptroller on the same subject, saya
he was informed there wa» no money In
sight which could be used foe the purpose.
To a third member who sought light as to
which of the statements were correct, tha
comptroller very sagely sald:i" '•If I should
say there was $150,000 which could ba used for
a market site and sheds, resolutions and
ordinances would be passed appropriating the
entire amount. The sum of, JH9,COO would
not be sufficient for the purpose at all. It
would take every cent of the amount avail
able."
"But which ts right?" <juei>ied the alder
man, "hav«i we got the money or have we
not?"
"That," replied the comptroller, "is a ques
tion which at this time I must deciine to dis
cuss."
And this is why the council is split up
on the question of money or no money for
market site and sheds.

MAY KILL THE BOARD
RECEST CONSTITITIOSAL AMKNU
ME\T MEXACES THE ST. PALI,
SCHOOL. INSPECTORS
CAN NOT BE DISFRANCHISED
Women Mar Vote In "All" School
Matters Inder the IHOS Amend
ment, and the "Bell Charter,"
< ...lUl.tini; With Tlili, May Come
Within the Purview of It* Re
pealing- Clauae.
The adoption at the last general election of
the constitutional amendment giving women
the right to elective franchise on all school
matters raises the Important question of the
constitutionality of the St. Paul school board.
Under the provisions ot the amendment
women were given the right to vote on "all '
school matters. The constitution say 3 that
the people shall elect their school officials,
but under the constitutional amendment pro
vided for in the Sheehan bill, and also
adopted last fall, cities are authorized to
frame their own charters. Under the old
Bell charter, a condition exists which is
without a parallel in municipal governments,
i. c., the appointive power is vested in the
mayor and still reposes in that official, and
the question now arises, does not the con
stitutional amendment, giving women a right
to vote on all school matters and for school
officials, make that part of the charter which
gives the mayor appointive power unconsti
tutional. In the case o^Catherine E. Putnam
appellant, vs. the City of St. Paul, in which
a decision was recently handed down by the
supreme court, the court held that the provi
sions of the Bell charter which took away
from the governing board of the school dis
trict certain rights and vested them in the
city council were not invalid upon the ground
that the subject of the legislative act was
not expressed in its title. Counsel for ap
pellant also freely admitted that he did not
claim that the act contained any provision
which could not properly have been enacted
under a proper title, but at that it is still
a question for the court to decide which of
the constitutional amendments holds good in
the case of the St. Paul school board. The
Bell charter passed the legislature before
special legislation was abolished, and in it
the mayor has full sway in school affairs
Except as raised in the case cited, the ques
tion of constitutionality of the school board
has never before been raised. The amend
ment, which gives cities the right to frame
tnelr own charters, only confers legislative
power in the charter commission provided
ror m the amendment so far as It does not
conflict with the constitution. Even without
tne later amendment giving women the right
to vote on all school matters, and upon which
the constitutionality of the board has been
raised, the courts might decide against the
ooara, as the constitution speciflcally states
tnat the people "shall elect school officials "
and it would appear that the Bell charter
was unconstitutional, as it permits the mayor
to appoint the school board, instead of being
elected by the people.
The question is one which has been quite
generally discussed in certain circles since
the passage of the last constitutional amend
ment. When the next election comes around
some of the women of St. Paul— not all—
will walk up to the polls to vote for the
school board. But unless there is a ruling by
the attorney general to the contrary there
wi 1 be no school board up for election. They
will refer to the constitution, which says that
fh! y D C ti n V °~ ' and som eone else will match
the Bell charter against the constitution, and
there you have it. The law don't say that
women can vote on any other subjects and
of M, e «. m ft r ° r i, ÜBUrps the right of thß women
of the city, he can't get elected again for
those women have husbands who do Vote!
This i 8 certainly a matter which the W C T
L organization or some other secular organi
zation should interest itself deeply in In
pens to be mayor of St. Paul.
