and we mourn its fall. The reign Of
the bang has been q glorious one.
It's conquests have been innumerable
and its mashes legion. The Dolly
Warden mashed its hundreds and tie
Mother Hubbards its thousands, but
verify the bang has scooped in its
tens Of thousands, even from the
ranks Of lis hatefs. Under its reign

The prosperity of country may
be learned from the attendance on
its institutions of learning. When
the people are in easy circumstances,
and can afford to give their children
few years longer in the school room
the colleges are full. When they are
poor the attendance falls, so that pow
erty of purse and brain go together
Not since the war has there been
such an awakening Of educational
interest as is manifested this year.
From this the fact may be deduced
that the people are prosperous

Suicide of a United States Senator's Wife.
A Dubuque Qowa) dispatch says: Mrs A.
B. Allison, the wife of United States Senator
Allison. of Iowa, drowned herself in the Mis-
sissippi river some time last night. She left
home yesterday afternoon after l O'Clock.
telling her servant that she was going to one
of her near neighors. Instead of this how
ever, taking her gossamer under her arm,
she went in the opposite direction, toward the
country where she had been accustomed to
take daily walks 1t is ascertained that she
wandered around in the outskirts of the city
during the afternoon, where she was seen by
several persons walking rapidly, and appar-
emily somewhat excited. Not returning by
o'clock from the place where she was sup
posed to be- a search was maintained during
the entire night This morning her BODY
was discovered soon after o'clock in the
river, about mile below the city. She had
cut up her gossamer, placed some stones in it,
and tied them securely about her neck, then
walked deliberately to the river, about
thirty-five feet from the bank, lain down,
and drowned herself, where the water was
two and a-half feet deep.
Mrs. Allison was of highly nervous tenn
permanent, and during the past two or three
years had suffered from and been treated for
mental disease. While at the water cure es-
tablishment in Western New York in 1881,
under medical treatment, she attempted sui
eide in much the same manner, but was
fortunately rescued She was the niece and
adopted daughter of the late Senator
Grimes, of Iowa, and had been mar
ried for ten years. She had
no children. Senator Allison had opened the
campaign at Clarinda on Saturday, and yes
terday was at Council Bluffs. A dispatch
was sent him last night as soon as his wifes
disappearance was known He came home by
special train. The shocking event has thrown
gloom over the entire community.
