named Henry Menke, a. laborer of Ger
man nativity about ti1ty-one years OF

held an inquest. The jury returned a
verdict OF "suicide by rat poison" From
the testimony taken in the case it was
revealed that the deceased was man OF
very Incorporate habits who had threat
ened suicide on several occasions. His
wife left him last Fall, both Ior this rea-
son ana on account OF cruel treatment,
but ON his promise to do better she re.
turned to live with him soon after. He
soon returned to his old habits however,

time he usually slept in tue cellar.
A box oil rat poison was found alter
wards in the cellar, where he usually
made his bed. Last night he complained

time asking for u drink OF water. Some
coffee was given him, after which he
went back into the cellar, and this morn
ing he was found in the yard by neigh
Dor, covered with filth, and evidently
suffering from the effects OF poison. He
died sometime aiterward, without hav'
ing spoken u word. He leaves wife

very indefinite ON this point, 1t was de-
cided that an organization should be eff.
fected to-day, and the same be ratified
in meeting next Monday. The law re.
ferred to reads that the new members ol
the Board of Control shall meet the sec
ond Monday of April after their election
This accordingly left the matter very du.
bious as to whether the second Monday
in April was meant, or the second Mon
day in April dating from the time Of theil
election was referred to.
The election of a President was then
proceeded with. Messrs. Dunn and Tur
pin were nominated, and on ballot Dunn
was declared elected, having received
| three votes out of five.
On motion, the election Of Secretary
was postponed until next Monday, unit
which time the Board adjourned to NEE

SIOUX CITY. April 12.-The water in
the Sioux river is falling, but it con-
tinues rising in the Missouri. The food.

that thirty graves have been under.
mined, and the bodies carried away by
the water.
The Big Sioux river. which empties
into the Missouri four miles below the
city, has been gradually rising for sew
eral days, and Sunday morning com
menced to rise rapidly, reaching higher
point than for the past seventeen years.
1t overflowed great extent of coun
try, sweeping away bridges, fences and
erything in its course. The damage
to property is incalculable. The M ls-
souri, is rising gradually. Its tributaries
above are much swollen. Very high
water in river is anticipated.
EAUCLAIR, WIS, April 12.-The ice
gorge has at last broken. The river rose
three feet in less than ar hour. About
two miles of ice came cat, carrying inn
mense quantities OF booms, chains, piers
sc. So far as can be ascertained the
most serious damages may be considered
over. From appearances we judge thai
most of the works between here and the
Falls must have gone. The ice about the
Fails is quite solid.
