Suicide at Bloomington.

MIR. John Stanley, a well-known resi-
dent of Bloomington village, committed
suicide last Friday night by shooting
himself with revolver, the ball enter
ing his right temple passing through his
brain, making its exit on the opposite
side of the head. He was found il bed
Saturday morning dead, bis right hand
holding the revolver. An inquest was
held and d verdict of suicide rendered
as above. Mr.. Stanley was a native of
England, bachelor about fifty-eight
years of age, was formerly engaged in
milling at Bloomington with Mr.. Hale,
but for a number of years has kept a
saloon and grocery store, over which
he roomed at the time of his tragic
death. He was man widely known
throughout the county and was possess
ed of considerable property. He was
seen by different persons Friday even
ing and appeared as sane as any one.
1t 1t was known he had recently bor-
rowed considerable sum of money for
his brother, which was about due, which
his brother could not pay and as he
could not either at this time, it is thought
the fact preyed on his mind and in fit
of melancholy or temporary alteration
of the mind, he took his life. Arrange
ments for the funeral will not be an
nounced until his brother George, his
only relative in this country, who re-
sides in Iowa, arrives,

MerleY,


We cannot but feel panied to record
the death of little Harry, only Son OF
Mr.. and Mrs. e. w. Smith Of this place,
aged about four years. His death was
caused by that sure agent, pneumonia,
after short but severe illness of one
week All was done that the hands of
loving parents and kind friends could
do but in vain, and on Thursday morn
ing at one o'clock he passed away.
This is the third son that has been taken
from them and the deeply bereaved
parents have the fullest sympathy of
the entire community in their affection.
We learn that the "1gnis Fataus'' or
false light, figures conspicuohsly in the
Mt. ida cemetery. This mysterious
visitor in such a locality at least, gener-
ally makes the solitary traveller feel
little ''shaky." but if it's real character
was better understood it would not be
regarded with any more wonder than
"fox-fire'' or the light that comes from
the gentle friction of match in a dark
room, as they are nearly the same
thing, luminous phosphorescent gas
that arises from decaying matter and
is most common on low swampy
ground.
Mr.. Howard Giifen has returned from

he will.-Emerson.
The progress of Christianity since the
day of the beginning is given as follows:

INDIGESTION is terrible foe to progress
in religious life. Many are yet hating
between two opinions-knowing that
they ought to serve the Lord, and not
quite ready to give up the service of
Baal. Some vainly seek to make COM
promise, and hold on to the world while
grasping the divine hand of mercy. 1t
cannot be done. A full surrender can
only bring Gods peace to the sinful soul
Real religion carries its vitality into
the experiences of every day life.
Sham religion may appear well on Sun
day, but it doesn't stand the troubles of
Monday, the anXietieS of Tuesday, and
the temptations of Wednesday. We
need the sort that throws its hallowed
charm over the whole life; so that our
words and actions shall speak always of
the power of Jesus to save, and to keep
in perfect peace. 1t is this kind of re-
ligion that impresses our fellow-men
and draws them to Christ.

How Watch Cases are Made.

In buying a silver watch case great care
should be taken to secure one that is solid
silver throughout. The cap of most CHEAP
silver cases is made of composition known
as albata, which is a very poor substitute
for silver, as it turns black in short time.
The backs of such cases are made much
thinner than those of an all silver case.
being robbed in order to make the cap
thicker and get in as much as possible of
the cheap metal. Another important point
IN asilver case is the joints or hinges, which
should be made of gold Those of most
cheap cases are made of silver, which is
not suitable metal for that purpose. In
brief period it warps, bends and spreads
apart, allowing the backs to become loose
upon the case and admitting the dust and
dirt that accumulate in the pocket. The
Keystone SilverWatch Gases are only made
with silver caps and gold joints.

Mr.. Ed. Pollock in last weeks issue
of his paper, either wilfully or ignor-
antly misquotes, and comments on the
remarks made at the recent meeting of
the Agricultural Society in regard TO
keeping the race track in good condi-
ton. In his usual cranky manner he
opens a ranting TRADE against betting,
the one bad feature of racing, which
might be presented, and severely con-
dennis trotting on that account. While
we are not in favor of betting or gamb-
ling in any form at our county fairs, we
donot believe in overlooking the induce
ments in breeding and training horses
trotting matches furnish. The MAORI
ty of mankind is interested in fine horses
and well-bred and trained rioters, and
no one feature of county fair will
attract more people or help its gate
receipts more than honestly conducted
trials of speed, and to do this, it is
necessary to keep the track in good
condition and offer liberal prizes. This
was the idea the society had in view in
placing a man in charge of the grounds,
and it is mean thing on Pollocks part
to attempt to beli.tle the society by his
peryerse and wilful insinua.ions.
