An Attempt at Murder and Suicide
E. P. Speakman, a young man living
at Webster City, Iowa, had been keep
ing company with Ella Davis, a young
lady living 9 miles east Of there. He
purchased a 75c pocket pistol, loaded
it with buckshot and sought her resi-
dence when he again pressed his suit
reminding her Of her promise to be his
wife. She refused and denied his as
sertion. He drew his pistol and fred

shot himself, holding the weapon 30

Love and Glue.

The following rare bit is from the
Saturday Evening Post: 1--WE shall
never forget that evening we spent at
Magruder's years ago. We admired
Miss Magruder, and went around to see
her. 1t was summer time, and NOON
light, and she sat upon the piazza. The
carpenter had been there that day,
gluing up the pustlc chairs on the
porch, go we took seat on the step
in front Of Miss Magruder, where we
could gaze into her eyes and drink in
her smiles. 1t seems probable that the
carpenter must have upset his glue pot
on the spot where we sat, for after en-
joyiug Miss Msgruder's remarks for a
couple OF hours, and drinking several
OF her smiles, we tried to rise
for the purpose Of going home but
found that we were immovably fixed to
the step. Then Miss Magruder said:
"Don't be in hurry" and we told her
that we believed we wouldn't. The
conversation had sader tone after that,
and we sat there thinking whether it
would be better to ask Miss Magruder
to withdraw while we disrobed and
went home in Highland costume, or
whether we should urge her to warm
up the poker, or whether We should
give one terrific wrench and then RAM
bic down the yard backward. About
midnight Miss Msgruder yswned, and
said she believed che would 60 to bed.
Then we suddenly asked her if she
thought her father would have any oh.
jections to lending us his front steps for
a lew days, because we wanted to take
them home for a pattern. We think
Miss Msgruder must have entertained
doubts OF our sanity, for she rushed in,
called her father and screamed. Ma.
gruder came down with double barrel
ed gun. Then we explained the situa-
ton in whisper, and be procured a
saw and cut out the piece OF step to
which we were attached. Then we
went home wearing the patch, and be-
fore two o'clock crushed out our young
love for Miss Magruder. We never
called again, and she threw herself
away on dry goods man. There is a
melancholy satisfaction in recalling
these memories Of youth, and reflect
ing upon the influence OF glue upon the
emotions OF the human heart.

BosroN, June 6.-The excitement

The Judicial Election, I,

CHICAGO, June 6.-The Tribune this
morning has special announcing that
Judge Lawrence is defeated for the
Supreme Court, and charac.erizes the
defeat as one of the most brutal OUT
RACES ever perpetrated in all Illinois
under the auspices ofuniversal suffrage,
no lees than rejecting with contumely
Judge who has declared the law to be
what it is, rejecting him for go declaring
it. As far as known, six counties give
Craig 3,SlS majority, and four give
Lawrence l,425 majority. There are
three counties yet to be heard from,
which will probably give Lawrence
small majorities but not enough to
materially change results.

withstanding the favor with which the
speech OF President Figueras has been
received by the more outspoken portion

temper were made known to them, the
officers Of the army of the Republic
have resolved to pronounce against the
Republic, and are now engaged in the
preparation of their rrouunciamento.
Their settled programme is to eumnon

sustain it in its deliberations against the
probable Republican protests, while 80
