DETERMINED SUICIDE.

jealous Husband P0isons and Shoots
Htnsself.
From the Window Reporter, June 26.I
Last Saturday morning Christian Even
son, of Westbrook, committed suicide by
first taking strychnine and then shooting
himself. The facts, as best we can ascer-
tain, are as follows: He engaged in his
usual occupations, Friday, until after dinner,
when he wrote several letters, went and en-
gagged .Thorb. Einertson to bring them to
mail. He loaded both barrels Of his gun,
heavily, and when asked by his wife what
he was going to do, replied, going to shoot
rabbit. He went into grove near the
house, which he planted himself, and stsked
out the place where he wanted his
grave to be. He hoed corn as usual,
till near night, when he came in,
sharpened his knife very sharp, tken shaved
and bathed himself very particularly. These
unusual proceedings aroused his wife, but to
all her inquiries as to what he was doing or
going to do, he gave only careless or indif-
ferent replies. After the days work had all
been we'll done. they sat in the doorway to-
gether with their 11-months-old baby. Bed
time came and they went into the house.
He securely fastened down the windows,
bored hole over the door latch and drove
in file; this again alarmed his wife and she
refused to comply with his request to retire,
so he finally went to bed too. Mrs. Evenson
could MT sleep and says he did not,
but asked her several times why she did
not 60 to sleep, saying she was tired and
needed rest. At half past three he rose,
dressed himself in old clothes he had not
worn for long time, and took up his gun.
His wife IN the meantime had dressed, and
begged to know what he was going to do,
and asked him to put the gun out doors,
which he did by thrusting it through hole
between two logs where the chinking had
fallen out, and then went out himself. His
wife followed him, and he went back into
the house she stopped a moment to see if
the nelghbors were up, then went in, and he
said, holding up the bottle: "Sec here, Mol
lie, have taken poison; it will soon all be
him to take an emetic, which he refused, and
gave as his reason that he must either
kill some else and go to State
prison, or kill himself. Mrs. Evenson
took her child and ran to L. M. Bakers,
about eighty rods away, for help. Mr.. Baker
sprang on horse, started at once, and when
nearly there heard the report of gun. On
arriving be found Mr.. Evenson lying on the
grass with nearly all of his nose and upper
lip shot away and in spasms, which was
probably the reason the gun shot did moi
make fatal wound. He fingered in hor-
rible agony, conscious and able to speak
until 6, when he died.
Mr.. Everson was smart, intelligent man
and his sad death is deeply regretted by
many friends. From the letters he wrote
jealousy seems to have been his main
reason, though many feel this to be an un-
just one.

IT'S little odd, but We presume the omis-
sion will be explained shortly, that the re-
cent brutal murders in New York and Ohio
have not called up a resolution from some
Republican Congressman for thorough in
vestigation of the state of society and the
political privileges of the people in those
sections. The fact is that the people of the
South are the only people that are governed
by political motives, whether they knock a
man down or shoot him down in his tracks.
No motive other than a political one influ'
enCes q Southern man.

TIE Khedive of Egypt refuses to abdicate
says, in effect, that he knows his rights, and
knowing dare maintain them, and appeals to
his big brother, the sultan of Turkey, to
sustain him. The result of the dispute is
not at all doubtful, for the aggressive powers
hold the whip row not only over the Khedive
but over his hacker, the sultan of Turkey.
If the demand is intended to be in earnest,
it will be complied with, whether it is agree
able or not.

The Deli ehts aud Attractions of Bayfield,
Capt. John II. Reaney is home from ten
days, absence from the hurly burly of busi-
ness, principally pass, in the village of Bay
field, Wis, one of the historical points of
the great unsalted sea, Lake Superior. Capt
keaney returns we'll pleased with his brief va
cation, and full of pleasant memories of the
sights seen and pleasures enjoyed, not the
as place in which to find rest, both of body
the business world always incident to a life
in city like st. Paul, Capt IReaney knows Of
no place promising equal advantages with
Bayfield,. Pleasantly located, overlooking
the great unsalted sea in one direction, and
with an apparently limitless expanse of grand
old forest in all other directions, with pop
ulation of about four hundred, priml-
tive in their tastes and habits,
but hospitable to an eminent degree, and
cut off from association with the
outside world, except as afforded by the
passing boats or long journeys through the
wilderness, and the very atmosphere breath
ing rest in its every pulsation; Capt. Reaney
declares it a haven of perfect rest
One of the curiosities of the place is the
church built by Father Marquett, two hun
dred years ago, and in which hangs a
scriptural painting over three hundred years
old. The church has been moved three
times since built, ,leaving two burying grounds
behind. In these homes of the dead the
curiously inclined can find much to CRAFTY
their penchant, as for instance, the inscrip.
ton on a headstone to grave of person
killed by a brother, which reads: "Accldent
| ly killed by his brother as a mark of affec
ton, the artist neglected to divide the sen
tence so as to convey the idea the stone wa
erected as mark of affection rather thar
that he was so killed.
The population of Bayfield, is largel.
Catholic, and while there Capt. Reaney wit
messed the ceremony of the procession, th'
entire congregation uniting in marching
around the church and kneeling in supplica
ton before crucifx erected outside. Th'
trout of the neighborhood are one of the at
fractions, very plentiful and large, man!
weighing four to five pounds. NIGEL!
cooked, they suited Capt. Reaney's appetite
80 we'll that he finds he gained ten pound
while absent. Altogether, Capt. Reany feel
that his ten days. absence was most pleas
antly and proftably spent.

On Wednesday crippled boy hung about
the Grand Trunk junction begging ride
from the trainmen. His story was that he
lived near Smiths creek, On the Grand Trunk
railway, and had smuggled himself to Detroit,
where he was led to believe he could make
an easy living by selling daily papers in the
city. His crippled condition arose from q
paralytic stroke which disabled one side of
his body. In this condition he found the
selling of newspapers no easy task, and,
though many of the people we're ready to
give sympathetic help, he was finally COM
PEELED to abandon the enterprise. He wanted
to get away from the city and said he did
not wish to steal ride. It was impossible
for any of the trainmen of the outgoing
trains to give the permission asked, owing
to existing orders.
Thursday night Conductor Ruthof left
the junction for Port Huron, and when near
New Haven fire was discovered between two
cars on his train. The necessary signal was
given and when the train was stopped the
conductor found the crippled boy ablaze and
olinging to car.
It is presumed that spark from the loco
motive set the boys clothes on fiTe, and, being
unable to help himself, he was compelled to
endure the deadly embrace of the flames till
discovered. He was taken off at New Haven
and placed under medical care, but he died
yesterday at O'Clock. Those who had con-
versation with him at the junction think he
was not quite sane. He claimed to have rel-
atives living near Smiths creek.
The Normal Board Prefer !" Putty Images"
Minneapolis Tribune.
But argument ard appeal were alike fruit
less. Prof Phelps, besides being an eminently
competent Normal school principal, is . man
of independent character and strong convic-
tions. In fact he is just such man a. bOsrds
of control, without much knowledge of prac-
tical education, but with q burning desire to
manage things don't want. They prefer
putty images whom they can work like dane
ing jimmy by pulling the string, and who will
not bother them by manifesting an inoon-
venient, superior and impertinent knoWl-
edge of the requirements Of their position.
We are not surprised, therefore, at the action
| of the remaining members sf the board. That
of Mr.. c. s. Gale, of Minneapolis, however,
puzzles us. Mr.. Gale is a member of the Min
neapolis board of education, and in that posi-
tion has to contend with another gentleman Of
independent character, OutspOken convictions,
and . thorough knowledge of his business; but
in this case Mr.. Gale rather seems to like it.
Why his singular opposition to . man of like
character is an equally important position?

We stated on Saturday that report had
reached us that Gov. Pillsbury had decided
not to allow his name to 60 before the Re-
publican State convention as candidate for
denomination. We did not vouch for the
correctness of this report, but said that its
foundation was such and that it 80 closely
coincided with our own ideas of the political
probabilities of the day, that should accept
it as true until authoritively denied.
In order to afford opportunity for making
such authoritative denial if desired,a a Dispatch
reporter called on Gov. Pillsbury Monday
morning. The interview was confidential,
and at the Governors 8 request was not made
public-a statement being promised for
Tuesdays issue. But yesterday the Governor
was invisible, and no communication was
received until after our paper had gone to
press. In n'the evening came note direct
from the executive chambers, requesting the
Dispatch to say that:
The statement in Saturday evening" paper
sthat the Governor would not allow. his
name to go before the convention" ETC., was
wholly unauthorized, he never having au-
thorized anyone to make any such statement.
We suppose we may be fairly entitled to
assume, from the above announcement, that
he has decided not to withdraw, and that he
is still as much of candidate, at least, as
he ever was.
For the Governors own sake we regret
this decision. We know it has been reached
in opposition to the advice of his nearest,
truest and best friends. We believe that
his candidacy in any form is distract
ing and injurious element in the
party and will greatly intensity the bitterness
of the contest. We believe that he is doomed
to inevitable defeat, and that instead of re-
firing with dignity and honor from his high
Office as his predecessors have done, he will
go into private life, at the close of the pres.
ent term, soured and embittered toward many
who have been his lifelong friends, and
wearing the scars of q hateful and disgraceful
contest, which might have been and ought to
have been avoided by his graceful, honora.
bic refusal to stand in the way Of scores o1
eminent Minnesota Republicans who are his
full equals in ability. culture and honesty,
and who would as worthily adorn the exalted
position, two terms in which have always
been held sufficient to fill the measure of 8
reasonable ambition.
