OSCAR CARLSON S BREAK.

Novel Attempt at suicide, but Not Successful
Oscar Carlsons former employee of Ed
Tengblade, tried during last night to ere
ate the impression that he wanted to com
NIT suicide, but only demonstrated the fact
that Jacksonville is the proper place for
him. Some months ago he entered the
employ of the gentleman named above,
but who finding out his worthlessness dis
charged him only recently, since which
time he has taken TO drink and in different
ways led our citizens to believe that he
was little off in his upper story, but no
notice was paid to his queer doings. PEG
pie thinking him harmless. During the
early part of last evening he entered
Sandstrom's drug store and secured rope
and departed After which he returned
Mr. Charles Peals where he boards, and
wrote a card to his former employer Mr..
Tengblade, in which he thanked him for
past kindness, and quoting what a man
sows so shall he reap he closed by saying
that in a few minutes he would be in an
other world. This was received at $50.
Nothing further was heard from hum IN
til Mr.. Peals little boy discovered him
down near the river bank when saying
goodbye to the boy and telling him to bid
his parents the same he tied handker-
chief around his neck and proceeded to
strangulate himself, how hard he drew on
the same is not known but presently he
fell to the ground. The boy alarmed the
household and the weapon of death was
taken from Mr.. Carlson. After this he
went to his room, but was watched from
an adjoining room by friends Present
Iy he tied his suspenders around his neck
and to the bed post and in
this manner tried to shuttle off this
mortal coil" but was stopped by the
watchers, who remained in his room the
balance of the night. Now the question
is, was the man trying to gain sympathy
from his Swedish friends through his
actions, las he was known to be short of
friends or, was he temporarily insane.
One thing is known he was drunk at the
time, and this probably induced him to
make the above break. He clerked for the
gentleman mentioned above some time and
left him Tengbladel about $50 out. One
thing is certain, he took no very sure
means of Kidding the community of his
presence.

hours of dissolution. In addition to
the members of his immediate family, two
brothers. Mr.. Jacob Guyer of Peoria and
Mr., L. L. Guyer of Bloomfield and a sis
ter, Mrs Colwell of Pennsylvania. survive
him.
In every respect Judge Guyer was a
positive man and he never lacked courage
to EXPRESS his convictions He was a
member of the Old Settlers society and
many interesting anecdotes are related of
him by his old associates. A few of these
are now recalled. In his prime he was a
man of wonderful vigor, strength and
endurance and it is related of him
that when candidate for sheriff
he would go into harvest

best of them for half day or longer, in
grading, binding ETC., and often he would
be pitted against the best man in the field,
the only condition being that if he
beat his opponent at work all hands should
vote for him for sheriff. 1t is needless.
perhaps, to add that Judge Guyer almost
invariably came out ahead.
Although his death had been looked for
daily for some time and the community
was fully prepared for the announcement
of the "last great change" nevertheless it
reminds all of the fact that one by one

PAPER CAR WHEELS.

The Allen paper car wheels, which have
been given a test by the Chicago, Milwau-
kee s. St. Paul company on several of
their business. parlor and sleeping cars
have given the best satisfaction. The
superintendent of car construction says
that, although the first cost of these
wheels is greatly in excess of the cost of
common chilled cast iron wheels, there is
an economy in the use of the Allen wheel.
Those cast are much more likely to break
age than the paper wheel The latter is
made of pressed paper pulp, so hard it
cannot be cut or even scratched with a
sharp knife. This is covered with plates
of heavy steel, bolted together with a
number of steel bolts These are bound
with the steel tire and aange in such a
manner as to make breakage an utter
impossibility. The st. Paul officers are
entirely satisfied with the test which has
been made with the improved wheels, and
say that it is probable they will be adopt
ed for general use on passenger and par
lor cars.

INTERESTING STATISTICS.

The frequency of mortuary announce
ments in this city of late has led to inter
esting comparisons with the death rate of
a year ago. City Weighmaster Petit
showed to an ARGUS representative this
morning local newspaper clipping giving
the number of deaths. names and cause of
death for the week ending Feb. "a. 1882.
The total number for that week was seven
teen and the prevailing complaint cerebro-
spinal-meningitis. There have been but
few deaths here this winter, so far as we
are informed, fron. this dread disease-cer-
tainly not more than two or three since
last fall; the prevailing trouble this winter
being founded in pneumonia.
