Suicide.
CREsToN, June 30th, 81.

CREsToN, June Both, 81.
This community was startled on
Tuesday evening last with the intel
ligence that one of the residents had
committed suicide. To this pesces-
BILE hamlet this created q genuine
sensation and in a few moments the
house of Mr.. Ira Russell was throng-
ed to find his wife suspended from
the rsfters, life extinct, as soon as
the proper persons arrived she was
cut down and her neck found to have
been broken by the fall.
She had been alone in the house
all day, her husband being away on
business, and the only child living
at home, lad of l3 years, at school,
no one could know how long she had
been hanging.
When Charles ran In from school
and asked her some questions about
his part in the coming celebration he
found her lips forever past giving
loving counsel. The sight is one he
will never forget.
At intervals she has been much
depressed, her mind being disturbed
about the prophecies of the end of
the world. She said q short time
ago that she felt like killing herself
before that should come to pass.
Their losses from the hail and other
causes here weighed very heavily
upon her mind. She was 81 years
of age and leaves q husband and
several children, four Of whom were
at the funeral, which was held in the
church at a. m. to-day. The corO-
ner was summoned and the verdict
rendered was suicide. S. ID. A.

THE ROUGHS AT ROME.
The Insults to Pope Plus Remains
Pope LeO,s Indignation.

LONDON, July 16.-A dispatch from Rome
says: "CardiDal Jacobini, Papal Secretary
of State, in receiving the Ambassadors and
Ministers accredited to the Vatican, told
them that the Pope had instructed him to
say that it was the Pope's personal desire
that they should inform their governments
how deeply panied be was at the insult
offered the body of Pope Plus TX that
henceforth he must consider himself more
than eyer prisoner in the Vatican, and pre-
vented from attending religious service in
any of the Basilicas of Rome. At the
same time Cardinal Jacobini read the draft
of circular to the Papal Nuncios abroad,
with instructions to leave a copy In the
hands of the respective Ministers of For
eign Affairs"
The correspondent of the Times says that
the part of the Pope's message relating to
religious services in the Basilicas confirms
what has been confidently asserted in high
clerical circles, that had the removal of the
body of Plus TX. been effected eaceablV,
the Pope would have found an early occa-
sion for passing the doors OF the Vatican.
ROME, July 16.-Six men have been fined
and imprisoned for disturbing the funeral
procession of Pope Plus TX. on Tuesday
last. There was great disorder at the trial
of the prisoners, and the court was cleared
twice. The sentences were received with
storm of shouts and hisses. A crowd of
people, numbering between two thousand
and three thousand, cheered the prisoners
on coming out of court, and followed them
shouting, "Down with the clericsIs." The
soldiers dispersed the mob, which reassem-
bled at the office of one of the clerical
newspapers, tore down the bulletin, and
started for the railway station to protest to
the King and Queen, who were arriving
from Naples, but a Gordon of police pre-
vented the demonstration.

LONDON, July 16-The Economist of this
week says: 1.-THE unliquidated trade bal
ance due the United States is nearly sixteen
and one-half millions greater than a year
ago, or rather an apparent balance, as there
is no means OF knowing to what extent pay
ment may have been made IN securities.
To all appearances, however, the power of
the United States to take gold from Europe
is much greater than 1t was a year
ago. The need for gold, however,
now that the currency is firmly established
on a gold basis, is less, and 1t appears
probable that payment for large portion
of her trade must be taken In goods. With
Italy in the market for gold the action of
America in this matter Is vitality important
and will be watched closely and anxiouslY.
The rate of discount for bank bills, sixty
days to three months, is II Il per cent, and
for trade bills, sixty days to three months,
1Ma2H per cenT. On the stock exchange,
as whole, the weeks movements were favor
able, although there are some noteworthy
exceptions In American railways and Italian
rentes. Money being very easy, settlement
was readily arranged with low continuation
rates. ConsOls, British and Russian bonds,
generally though not largely improved.
The state of affairs in Africa and the couL-
tenance the Porte seems to give the revolt
causes uneasiness. There were many alb
sentees from the Exchange on account of
the heat, and the general current of opera
tions was sluggish. Speculation was con-
fined to united channels instead of being of
the all around character, noticeable to the
end Of the arst half year. In the absence Of
official information it is understood that the
London subscription to the new Italian loan
more than covered the issue after deduct
ing the amount reserved for subscriptions
in italian loans, but 1t is impossible to say
how much passes into the hands of perma-
nent holders. The Queensland loan of
Ell ,053, 900 four per cent. bonds was barely
covered, tenders at the minimum obtaining
So per cent. There have been enormous
sales of Grand Trunk securities on a par
with previous speculative buying, but fuc-
tuations have been very rapid. American
railways show general depression"

A MATE FOR THE COMET.
What an Ann ArbOr Observer Saw
in AurIga.

ROCHESTER, N. Y, July 16.-Dr Lewis
Swift, the Director of Warner Observatory,
yesterday received a letter from J. NJ.
Schaeberle, Ann Arbor, Mich, announcing
that he had discovered nebulous matter
In right ascension 5 hours 4S minutes,
declination north 80 degrees 45
minutes, but daylight obscured it's
identity. At three o'clock this morning,
DIR. Swift reported that he had discovered
the matter in the constellation Auriga, and
that it is quite bright, being larger and
more luminous than the one dis
covered May 1st by DR.. Swift.
It's centre Is strongly condensed,
and from it's motion it is apparently
very slow. 1t cannot be ascertained whether
It is going direc ly toward or from the
earth. The comet is telescope. This is the
fourth comet discovered since May lst. DR..
Swift thinks from the present position Of
the comet it is the expected comet Of 1919.
1t is moving very slowly toward the north
west. Mr.. Schaeberle puts in a claim for the
two hundred dollar Warner prize.

fifty self-binding reapers, was shivered into

nfty self-binding reapers, was shivered into
spltnters. Senator Peterson, Col. Kreinger
and Mr.. Babblecks arrived this evening to
secure coffins and other necessaries, and to
visit the Governor to take steps for render
ing what aid may be necessary. A large
force OF mechanics and a quantity Of lum-
ber will be sent to the place to repair the
damage as best they may.
The storm extended through Nicolett
county through the towns of West Newton
and Severance, but owing to the absence OF
telegraphic facilities the extent of the loss
OF life and property cannot yet be ascer-
tanned. Everything In range of the storm
was leveled with the ground, and the grow
ing crops were shorn off as though with
scythe in the track of the storm. It Is re-
ported that in Cambria several houses and
barns were demolished by the same storm,
but this cannot be verified. There is no
doubt that the search will develop further
loss OF life, as some of those now missing
will probably be found in the ruins. At
Shirley, near CroOkston, on the St. Paul
and Manitoba Railroad, cyclone on Thurs
day night demolished two elevators, with
capacity Of four hundred thousand bushels.
special to the Pioneer Press from Hector
says: "The cyclone which struck New
Ulm devastated a stretch of country mile
wide and forty miles long. 1t travelled in
southeasterlY direction, passing through the
townships of Palmyra, Wellington and
Cairo. The extent of the damage cannot
yet be ascertained, but gentlemen from
Cairo say the storm was one of the most
disastrous ever known In Penville county,
that large number of people have been
killed and many injured. The large two-story
house of Mathew Findley was carried from
its foundation and dashed to pieces. The
family were all injured, and the oldest son
was killed, together with TWENTY-FIVE head
of cattle, which he was herding, all being
found dead on the prairie. MIR. and Mrs.
Joseph Pellover and their four children
were all killed. The entire family, with
the exception of a two months old child,
which was carried a distance of several
rods from the house, where it was found
with an arm and leg broken. In the town of
Wellington, a few miles further west, the
storm did not do such damsge. In Cairo,
the farm houses of Michael Murphy, Jas.
SoTkings, Martin Welch, John and William
FaheY and number OF others were carried
away, but as yet only one person is known
TO have been killed. The youngest child of
John Fahey was seriously iDjured.n
