From Fridays Daily!
Suicide of Herman SehOenert Yes

terday.
Y esterday, in the forenoon, some
time near the hour of O'clock, Her
man Schoenert ended the trial of earth
by a dose of morphine administered
bvhi own hand. His brother was in
his room in the morning, about I
o'clock, and talked with him. He APP
peared to be at that time in his usual
state of mind and talked upon various
topics, with his usual composure, and
his brother detected nothing in his
words or actions to indicate the step
which he must have had in contem-
plation. He has been drinking quite
hard of late, and it is supposed that
this may have had something to do
with influencing him to commit the
rash act. No other cause can he
assigne for the deed. He occupied a
room on Pecan street, over Archie
Thompson's store, and it was in this
room that the suicide occurred. Be
tween s and 8 o'clock, Mr..
Ed Seider, who was particu-
lar friend of the deceased,
went to his room, and on reaching it
found Mr.. Schoenert on the bed in a
state of insensibility, and about the
bed were boxes and wrappers on
which were marked Morphine" DIR.
Cummings was Immediately called. He
found the unfortunate man still alive,
but the results of the poison had pro-
crossed so far that all efforts to save
him proved fruitlesS, and he died
about 10 o'clock. The night before,
he met sir. Fred Braun. and as they
parted he said. Good bye, Fred, /
shall never see you again" Mr..
Braun thought he was going away,
and did not, therefore, attach any inn
portant significance to the words.
An inquest was held this morning
by Justice Tegener, and after an in
vestIgation the jury returned the YER
dict:
I'VE the jury find that the deceased
came to his death from an overdose
of morphine administered by his own
hand, with the intention of commit
ting suicide"
Mr.. Schoenert was thirty-four years
of age, and leaves a child, which,
however, is under the care of, and
perhaps has been adopted by, Mrs.
Rohde, of Fort View.

A Bare Opinion.


The Age thinks it better that the
proposed amendments to the consti-
tuition should be defeated. But it
does not think the welfare of the
people is likely to be very materially
effected by either the adoption or nom
adoption OF the amendments, or either
of them, and it is not disposed to
make them the subject of anything
like earnest discussion. The worst
feature of the amendments is that
they propose to incorporate into the
constitution the necessity Of having
six months schools every year. But
we are not sure that the Age is with
the popular sentiment on the subject
of public free schools.

Judge McAdoe.
BRENNAN. TN, March l., 81.
Mes>rS. Walker y Bel:
| bear cheerful testimony Ia the
great value of DIR. Tobin's "IIepato-
zone" In the spring OF 1881. after
several months OF low health Twas
completely Frustrated by what ulti-
mdtcly eliminated In the breaking OF
Il large abSceSS of the liver-discharg-
ing through the lungs and throat. in
the spring Of 1882. For more than
Il year, under the most skillful
and constant medical treatment,
| was complete invalid, with
general drOpSy, and terrible
heart troubles, in addition to the dis
ease of the liver. After the abscess
of the liver discharged and healed.
and. the other distressing attendant
maladieS disappeared, the crippled
condition of the liver has been such
that have been compelled frequent
ly to take medicines to stimulate its
action and regulate its secretionS.
About month ago | was induced to
try the HepatoZOne, and have found
it the very remedy needed. 1t acts
upon the liver, and regulates its secre-
lions without any unpleasant effects;
no nausea, no gripping, no interference
with diet or digestion, and is tonic in
effects. | believe it to be most val
liable remedy. j. ID. MCADoO.

never lebilitates or produces any I'M
pleasant effects, it will remove all dis

Dear Sirs-Your Hepatozone has
had a rather extended trial in this in
stitution, among officers and pupils;
it has proven a safe and certain RENE
dy in affections of the liver. 1t is
also d valuable and cheap aperient.
1t removes constipation of the bowels,
relieves indigestion, and can be taken
at any time without any bad effect.
/ cheerfully recommend its use in all
cases involving arrangement of the
functions of the liver, and in many
cases where the stomach and bowels
are involved. Truly yours,

Care of Poultry.

Mrs. Mary b. Danly, in that es-
teemed journal, the Drainage and
Farm journal, writes among other
things, the following:
GA few timely hints in regard to
treatment as the weather grows
warmer and have done. During the
heated term all kinds of vermine
propagate rapidly, and, if allowed,
will prove to be the pest whose
name is legion" Examine your fowls
frequently to make sure they have no
lice upon them, and watch with d
jealous eye for the appearance Of the
tiny but abominable pests-the poul-
try parasite. The ounce of proven
ton should be brought into requi-
sition now, if ever. If hens are kept
sitting for late chicks, have sp6c ial
care to provide cool, quiet place on
the ground for them. A little hollow
made in the earth, with lining of
clean, fresh grass is sufficient. Ii the
eggs get foul, wash them clean in te-
pid water, line the nest with fresh
grass and replace the eggs. Carefully
study the habits of your hens with
chicks. They will be found to vary
as much as other folks in disposition
and habits. Such as prove quiet set
tiers, careful and successful mothers,
and tractable when their keepers ap-
proach, should be spared for another
years service.
The great value of milk as food for
poultry seems t, be overlooked by
farmers and those who have plenty.
1t is good for them in all shapes. 1t
is eagerly eaten by them and they
thrive on it as they will on nothing
else.
The above is largely of my own ex-
perience, and hence l know whereof l
speak, and | find that by proper de-
votion to the dem nds of the nature
of our fowls, one will have but little
use for the study of diseases. But
there is work about it, as there is
about anything we undertake if we
do it successfully. Constant vigilance
is the price of success in almost every
undertaking, and in none other is it
so applicable as in the b eeding and
management of poultry, whether pure
bred or not, if profit is the desired
result"

breeding YearIing Ewes.

A writer in the National Live Stock
says that the practice of breeding
yearling ewes in the fall following
their first clip is becoming too preva-
lent. 1t dwarfs the growth, enfee
bles the constitution, and reduces the
weights of the fleece; and the chance
of raising a fleece lamb is but a poor
return for the certain injury done to
the flock. When young eve pro-
duces lamb, it is far better to p it
on a mature eve, which may have
lost its own lamb, because it Injuries a
Young eve m )re to raise than produce
lamb; she may outgrow the effect Of
giving birth, but cannot supply the
waste resulting from nourishing her
offspring. With the demand for good
sheep in fair condition far exceeding
the supply, it would seem there is in
ducement enough to tempt flock
masters to put forth their best efforts.
The man who treats his sheep kindly
and well, will meet his Ieward, and
he who lets his flock suffer will not
escape. His puny ewes lose their
lambs, if they survive themselves;
his clip of wool will be light in
weight, weak and unhealthy in fibre,
short in staple and low in price.

comes in the value OF pedigree, es-

breeding is always upwards; while
