A wOULD-BE SUICIDE.
Strange Discovery of "a Man Hanging by
His Heels Near Houston Street.

As my friend and were walking past the old
bridge our attention was attracted by a IN IN
who was hanging head downward from one of
the cross beams, with his feet so wedged In be-
tween the timbers that IL took several minutes
and our united efforts before we could eXtri-
cate him. Upon lifting him up found my
hands covered with blood, and as laid him
down upon the bridge, saw deep CASA ex-
tending from ear 10 ear across his throat. We
friend hastened away for physician. In the
meantime noticed an occasional trembling
of the would-be suicide, and judged rightly
physician arrived aud at once applied restora-
lives, and in a few moments the poor fellow
recovered consciousness, | knelt down beside
him and asked him why he had acted so des-
peratey, and he reached up and taking my
pencil out of my pocket, wrote on the back of
!. card these words "a kind friend advised
me 10 buy a watch from Emerson; / bought
elsewhere, aud my shoes are worn out running
Ia the shop. have not got enough money 10

The Log Crop on the Wisconsin.

MILWAUKEE, May IA Wausau, Wis,
special says: Log driving operations
are being carried on very quietly. The
river still remains at good driving
stage, but as yet very few logs have
reached the boom at this place. About
100000 feet have been foated into
the Merrill booms, but delay in driving
has given rise to grumbling on the part
of log owners below. Applications now
filed with the secretary of the Wausau
Boom company indicate that the stock
to be sawed here will be about hun
dred million feet, of this amount about
fifteen million feet will be run out of
Pine river. The effort made to orga-
nize log driving association, has
again miscarried, the lumbermen be-
ing unable to agree on the terms of the
organization. This failure is due more
to petty jealousies than to any sub
stantial difference of opinion.
The dr1ye is nor being conducted in
q kind OF "catch as catch can" man
ner and the expense will be from 25 to
40 cents more per thousand than it
would have been mad there been an
organization. The cut on Eau Claire
river is set down at "a, ,000, 900 feet,
mostly owned by Nelleys, BreoFs and
Ross. The Rib river drive is not ex-
pected to reach the Wisconsin river
without more water. Four mills in
this city are In operation and others
will start mp this week.

Dog.POisoning at Mexico, Mo.

A dispatch from Mexico, Mo. says:
The crusade on CANNES still continues,
with little prospect of an abatement
until all are extinguished. This morn
ing more than hundred bits of poison
ed meat were picked up from the
streets and in the yards of private res
licences. Many dogs have died during
the day, and the excitement among
the owners is intenas, and should the
slayers be caught in their nefarious acts
1t would go hard with them. The SUBJ
scriptions to the reward fund during
the day swelled to nearly 800, and
desperate effort is being made to fer
ret out the poisoners. Dog owners
and fanciers say that if it is the work
of sheep-ovners, they will retaliate if
they can get no other satisfaction. 1t
is the opinion of some that this whole
sale destruction of the brutes is the
work of thieves that their work of rob-
berry may be more easily accomplished.
Dogs have been killed that their own
ers in many instances had refused
fancy prices for, and the wrath of there
parties knows no bounds. Tonight
men are employed to watch for the
dastards engaged in the poisoning.
Two or three years ago like raid
was made on dogs, and poisoned meat
scattered everywhere. which in one in
stance resulted fatally to human life.
An old eolored woman In the eastern
part of the city found nice looking
piece of liver lying by the side of the
street, and thinking someone had only
lost it, took it home cooked and ate it,
and WAS corpse inside of an hour.

The Man Keim,

JUDGE THoMAN WON'T BE REsPoNsIBLE
FOR HIS SELECTION.
WASHINGTON, May 1.-Juage Thoman
of the civil service commission said
tonight that some of the newspapers
of the country in commenting upon
the selection of Keim as chief civil
service examiner have thrown all the
responsibility for that selection upon
him, and had asserted that he virtually
made the nomination at the sugges-
ton Of Senator Pentleton, that he
says is not in accordance with
facts. The selection Of chief ex aminer
was discussed frequently and thorough
ly by all the commissioners and when
on the 9Th OF April he (Thoman) start
ed for Ohio il was understood and
agreed that one of the two pames (Keim
and another) should be sent to the
president. Eaton and Gregory were to
satisfy themselves and the person whom
they found to be on the whole most
satisfactory was to have his Tho.
man's) approval upon his return
to Washington April 10th. The
name of Helm was unanimously
agreed upon by the commission, and
was sent to the president. Judge Tho
man says that Senator Pendleton never
wrote letter to him, to the commits
sion, or to Keim. That he (Pendleton)
neither directly nor indirectly suggest
ed Keim's fitness for the place, and
that all statements that Keim was ar-
pointed at the request of Pendleton
are absolutely false.

Her First Railroad Ride.

A young lady well known on Wood
river, who was born and raised in
Idaho, and who had never seen
a steamboat Or railroad car, recently
left for trip South, and much interest
was expressed of the outer world. She
always evinced such an even demeanor
that many friends believed she would
pass as an old traveller, but letter just
received from her escort proves that
young lady, even one of Idaho's fairest,
and one that can calmly regard the
wild Indian on the war path, is un-
equal to the occasion of calmly passing
through the surprises of modern pro-
gress. she became skittish at the ap
preach of the evening lightning express,
with its great bulPs-eye headlight, and
actually pranced when the train neared
the depot and drew long shrill whistle.
Her friends could not quiet her or coax
her, and finally, rather than be left,
they blindfolded the young lady, aad
by main force landed her safely on the
train. The letter remarks it was FORUM
ate the windows were SO small, as she
frequently attempted 10 get out, and
could not be convinceI that the tele-
graph poles, the hills and tie houses
were not all wnirling past her as she
sat in the car, and eye1y time they
crossed p bridge she shut her eyes, be
lieving the cars were flying in the air
across the river.

Child Killed by a Dog.

Pottsville, Pa, May An unusu-
ally horrible affair occurred at Shenan-
doah last evening. After the family Of
Frank NcCormic, miner, had finished
their evening meal, 4-year-old boy
ran out into the yard to play. His
parents, apprehended no danger, paid
no attention to the little fellow. wae
shortly atterward wandered off into an
adjoining yard, in the corner of which
was chained a large dog. The child's
attention was attracted by the barking
of the animal, and he innocently ap-
preached the dog to pat it. The brute
suddenly sprang on the little fellow,
sank his teeth deep into his face, and
dragged him into the kennel. The dog
then became furiously mad, and forth
with began to gnaw and tear the child.
The terrible noise was heard by the in
mates of the house, who, quickly run
ming to the dog house. were hor. ified
to find their neighbor's child terribly
mutilated on the floor and in a dying
condition. His~fsce, head aud hands
presented sickening sight. Tne boy
was removed to his home, where he
died in very short time afterwards.
The infuriated animal was quickly put
to death.

IT is reported that the great match
monopoly, IN anticipation of the re-
moval OF the tax on matches, manu-
factnred an immense stock in advance
which they are preparing to work of
as soon as the tax abolition goes into
effect, and before prices are likely to
shrink materially. If The match pro-
gramme is carried out, the members Of
the company hope to be millionaires
from the profits of one years business.
There's many slip, of course, but
there is little doubt that the company
will roalize enormous profits before ef-
fective competition can be organized
and put in operation. 1t acquired a
virtual monopoly of the business by
judicious consolidation Of the larger
manufactures, and ruthless sgue,z
ing out of the weaker ones. 1t will,
therefore. control the market for some
time TO como at its own prices, and
pocket the money which formerly went
for stamps.

The terrible tornado which lately
devastated Mississippi and other South
ern States has once more furnished the
occasion for an exhibition OF benevo-
leuce. The later reports show that
the destruction was widespread and
the CASUALTIES and losses frightful.
The killed in single county are stated
to be one hundred in number, while
thH wounded are placed at twice that
number. Fer space of twenty miles
houses, fences, trees, esdding, clothing,
furniture-in fact everything but the
inhabitants-are blown away. More
than thousand homeless people are
dependant on the charity of neighbors
in that single locality.
Ia view of these deplorable facts a
call is made for contributions through
the Red Gross Association, which has
its headquarters at Washington. 1t is
to be hoped that the responses will be
prom pt and liberal The money can
be sent to any one oil the three trustees,
of the association at Washington.
They are Secretary Folger, Secretary
Lincoln and Comni sionsr Loring.
The we'll known character ana stand
ing of thess gentl,men are sufficient
guarantee that the money will be wisely
and properly applied. As the disaster
is widespread, it is better that the mon
ey BE- collected and distributed from
Washington to the various points ol
need than to send it direct to any par
ticular locality in the devasted district
