Three Men Scalded to Death.

Bernard Michael, one of the best known and wealthiest German-Ameri-cans of St. Paul, Minn., committed suicide. The deed is explained only by the following note,, which he left in his office: "Dear Children: I am insane; it came almost at wonst; I have to act quick. By to-morrow, perhaps, I would be sent to the insane asylum. I prefer dead. It is better for you and me, lehbe woble.—Bernard Michael.”
