Association on its new grounds; it's
depth is SS feet, with 46 feet of water,
and Slower says he "don't believe it

recently improved Stover windmills.
If the engine does the work in a
satisfactory manner, and we're told
that it will, the Association will, prob
ably, buy it.

THE MORTAL COIL.

John Miller Wearies Of Life and Commute
Suicide By Hanging Whisky the Cause.
For few weeks John Miller, very fond of
lager beer, has INDUCED his appetite for
the fell destroyer without stint.
When intoxicated he frequently be
came quarrelsome and made domestic life
burdensome. Wednesday night he came home
slightly under the influence Of liquor, and de-
manded all the money he possessed OF his
wife, which she surrendered to him, under
stepped into the room of his land
lord, Jacob Shaefer, who lives in the same
house, No. 4S4 Twentieth avenue north, and
paid $3.50 on his rent. He then left for sa-
loon, returning quite late in the evening, in a
state of intoxication, and went to bed; but he
did not remain long in bed. In spite
of the efforts of his wife to
dissuade him from his purpose, he got up,
dressed himself and left the house again, say
lag he would return in few moments. Mrs.
Miller waited impatientiy an hour, and then
called MIR. shaefer, asking him to search for
her husband. Mr.. Shaefer compiled with her
request, but failed to fnd the object Of the
search.
In the morning, while in the performance
of his duties, Mr.. Shaefer went into the barn
and there, to his horror, discovered the life
less form OF the dissolute miller suspended
from the roof of the stable by strap. He at
once summoned the assistance of neighbor.
and the corpse was cut down.
Coroner Fairbairn, being notified of the
casualty, proceeded to the scene early 5ester-
day, and made careful investigation Of the
facts connected with the suicide, when he de-
cided that ali inquest was unnecessary. When
discovered the body was still warm, which fact
would indicate that Miller had committed the
rash act early in the morning rather than the
night before, after he had left the house. The
money, save forty cents, was found in his
pockets.
John Miller was a German, aged about "a
years, and was married last fall. Last year
he lived upon farm short
distance from the city, but owing 10 the fact
that his wife did not admire farming, he
moved into town last fall, and part Of the
time since Miller has been employed as team
ster.
The body was left in possession OF Mrs.
Miller, who seems exceedingly grief stricken
and will be buried at her direction.
