sPEEUHLEss AND DYING.


A man named Michael Gallagher,
formerly in the employ of Johnny
Thompson, but now acting rs cook at
the Lamar Hotel, was reported yester-
day evening to have made an attempt
to commit suicide. a reporter Of The
HERALD visited the unfortunate maj
ut the house of Mr., Thompson, last
night about O'Clock, and found him
lying in an insensible condition. lie
had been drinking heavily all the
morning, and was taken seriously III
at 8 o'clock and was put TO bed 10y the
inmates of the house. lie had, how
ever sufficiently recovered in few
hours to be up and about the city. AT
noon he returned and had his dinner,
Mrs. Thompson being relative, and
IA short time afterwards he was found
lying on the kitchen floor speechless,
and has remained 80 up to this time.
Or. Allen was called in and admins
tered restoratives and otherwise con.
tributed oil in his power to alleviate
his condition, and although there has
been some slight improvements, 1t IL
barely possible that he Will recover.
There Is considerable difference OF
opinion as to whether II was deliber-
ate attempt at suicide or was caused by
sunstroke, some few believing that he
took morphine in order to end his life.
The doctor, however, said he was Ger
tain that he had not taken any drug OF
deadly poison, and that his prostra-
ton was caused by a too free use oil
stimulants and being overloaded
both acting and operating In conJunc'
ton. We called at the Lamar Hotel
but could learn nothing further than
that he had been In the employ OF the
hotel only short time, coming there
from Thompson's, where he had acted
as stewart. He had chill day befor,
yesterday, and the spree" and ho
weather com bined have placed him OF
what may be deaths bed. He ha
made no threats Of self-destruction
but on the contrary has always seemed
to be IN the best Of spirits, although

western Iowa, il covered with devour-

crops of that region are being swept
away, and that many of the discour-

well be understood that the Western

HE HAS AN AK TO GRIND.

We owe more Of our common sayings
and pithy proverbs to DR.. Franklin than
many OF us think or know. We say of
one who fiatters or serves US for the sake
of secret, selfish gain or favor, =" He has
an AK to grind" In the doctors memoirs
is the following story, which explains the
origin of the phrase
Franklin said When | was a little
boy, remember, one cold winter morn
ing, was accosted by smiling man
with an ak on his shoulder :"
My little boy" said he, has your
father a grindstone %
Yes, sir" said |.
You are fine little fellow" said he.
" Will you help me grind an AK on it ?"
Pleased with the compliment of being
fine little fellow said d: Yes, sir; it
j, down in the shop"
And viii you, my man, get me lit
tie hot water ?"
How could refuse ? l ran, and soon
brought kettle full.
" How old are you, and what is your
name ?" continued he, without waiting
for reply. I'm sure you are one Of
the finest lads in town. VIII you turn a
few minutes for me ?"
Tiekled with the fattery, like fool
went to work, and bitterly did | rue the
day. 1t was new ak, and toiled and
tuggcd till was almost tired to DEATH
The schoo-bell rang, and | could not get
away. Ny hands were blistered, and it
Wa. not half ground, At length, how
ever, the ak was sharpened, and the man
turned to me with:
Now, you little rascal, you've play
cd the truant; now scud to school, or
you'll get it,"
Alas thought 1, it was hard enough
to turn griudstone this cold day, but
now to be called little rascal was too
much. 1t sunk deep in my mind, and
often have | thought OF it eince.
When ! see merchant over polite to
bis customers, begging them to take lit
Tie brandy, and throwing his goods on
the counter, think that man has an ak
TO grind.
When l hear a man dattering the peo-
pie, making great professions of liberty
and prating loudly about economy, who
IS IN private tyIant, methinks q" Look
out, good people, that fellow would see
ynu turning grindstone."
When | see man hoisted into Office
by party spirit, without single qualif-
cation to render him either respec table
or useful, methinks 4: " Deuded people
you are doomed for a season to turn the
grindstone for II BOBBY"
