rated, as while two-thirds of the in
sane people were temperate, further
examination proved the fact that in
sanity had preceded the use of alco-
hol, and that the symptoms of insan-
ity had driven the person to drink.
The great cause of insanity was her
editary either from disease or a NAL
formed brain. The raving maniac, the
melanchOlic man, the sufferer from a
severe mental shock, and the person
subject to fits were all durable more or
less, while the man that was by turns
a maniac and then melancholy, and
the man that imagined he was super
ior to everybody, and that all the
world was trying to keep him down,
were iDcurable.
The prevention of hereditary in
sanity should be set about by the edu-
cation of the children. They should
be taught to repress their feelings
whether of JOY or sorrow. At school
the children should be taught to learn
for themselves and not to emulate
others, and the same system should be
followed in maturer years. Diet
should be carefully looked after, and
habits of regularity instilled. They
should be trained to bear everything
with stOicism, there should be regu-
larity not monotony. The speaker
said that this country was suffering
from one great evil. A great deal of
insanity was imported that did not
develop for years. These people in
ter marry and the children are liable
to be insane. Whether the State can
or will do anything to prevent this
was question.

MARSHALL'S MEANNESS.
He Makes an Unsuccessful At
tempt to Kill j. j. Cope
at Kansas City.

] Kansas City, Nov. z7.-[Special. IA
sensational attempt 10 assassinate James J
Cope, the we'll known saloon keeper of 1224
Union avenue, was made at 11:20 o'clock
last night, in his place Of business. The
would-bs assassin is J. E. Marshall, com
monty known as "JIm," owner of a saloon
OF low order on Sixth street, Kansas City
Kansas. The attempt was of a most DIES,
Perste character, aud it was a hair breadth
escape for Cope He was standing behind
the bar In his saloon when a shot
was fired through a plate glass window in
The front, the bullet passing several inches
above his head. There were a number of
men IL the saloon at the time who became
panic stricken. Many of these rushed fran
lcally to the cellar TO seek safety from an
expected fusilade from without. Immedi-
aIely alter the shot was fired, Marshall,
who, as subsequent developments seemed TO
clearly prove, was the man who did the
shooting, walked coolly into the saloon and
asked In a careless manner, what is the
matter p Meantime Sergeant MCGOWAN
and detachment of officers who were at
the precinct station, little more than a
block distant, had heard the pistol shot
and hurried TO the scene. A search was
made but did not develop the facts, so the
officers withdrew, as did also Marshall.
Cope then went out from behind the bar
to the stove on the other side of the
room. There he took his seat. Within
fifteen minutes, there was another crash of
glass and a bullet whizzed over Cope,s
head. Again the frequeuters of the saloon
were thrown into wild alarm and the Off
GERS at the police station hurried TO the
scene OF the shooting second time. A
search was instituted and on the sugges-
ton OF some one present, the officers looked
into hallway abuttiDg on the saloon and
leading up 10 COpe's room above. There
the culprit had secreted himself and prov.
ed to be none other than Marshall.
the Kansas City, Kansas, saloon
keeper. Marshall walked right out
into the arms of Roundsm.n
Bonham and Officer Halligan, but took
the precaution to drop his revolver, hoping
II unarmed, to escape. The officers, how
ever, detected him in this ruse, and pick. |
ing up the revolver, a British bulldog, A |
,alibre, found two chambers empty. Mar
shall was at once taken to the station and |
put under lock and key, stoutly denying
his guilt.
Marshall lives at 1O16 st. Louis avenue
With his wife, in rented rooms. Hitherto
le had been a friend of Copes'. who had
'ften extended to him aid in his business.
)f late he appeared to have taken M a
dislike TO Cope, though the police now have
10 knowledge of his having made any
hreats. 1t is thought however, that
hreshing administered to Marshsll,s
rother in Cope's saloon last winter had
omething to do with the trouble. Mar

shall, last summer, won for hims elf unen-
viable notoriety by raising big disturb
ance in Armourdsle, for which he is now
under indictment. Marshall evidently
took aim to kill Cope. The latter was let
icent, having looked upon Marshall as a
good friend, and having extended him bust
ness aid several times. A singular incident
of the affair was that bird entered the sa-
loon immediately after the first shot had
been fred snd fuitered about the room.
This was regarded by some as portentous
omen.

Bonner's Success.

Mr.. Bonner is one of the few really
self-made men, and one of the sub.
stantially few. His history of sixty
years is well known to most readers,
but | think the following anecdotes
illustrative of him have never been
properly told. He had been adver-
tised quite largely in his way in the
Herald, sometimes taking as much as
two columns to announce a blood
eurdling tale by Sylvanus Cobb, Jr.,
or some other of his sensational story
writers. On one occasion be went to
the Herald with a six line advertise
ment, which he wished inserted once
in each column of one of the adver-
Using pages, the rest of the column
and page to be blank. The clerk,
taking the advertisement, referred it
to Joseph Elliott, then the publisher
of the HERALD, to whom Mr. Bonner
said: "Can't / have a page to my
selfY' Certainly, you car" was the
reply. "Can't / have twoY' "Yes."
Cant / have four p 81 guess So"
"How about eight p Elliott had
to consult with Hudson or Bennett,
and there was some mechanical diff
Guilty.
Bonner had to content himself with
bis six-line advertisement inserted
twenty-four times, at a cost for the
single days publication of about
81, 900. But he always claimed to
have "blufed" the Herald. The appar.
snt absurdity of repeating the same
it tie announcement in twenty-four
caused his minister to re-
nonstrate with Bonner on his ex-

A Popular Fallacy.

Many people think that Rheumatism

matter in the joints and muscles causing

THANKSGIVING.
By TEE GHOST OF snug.

Hail Thanksgiving, blest day OF days,
When grateful men to God give praise,
Returning thanks for joys bestowed
Amid the thorns along hfe's road.
Some will give thanks for lands and wealth,
Some for the priceless gilt of health,
Some for an honest, upright name,
Some for the empty bubble-fame.
Some for friend, wife or son
Some for the love Of hearts they've won,
And others-these perhaps are few
Because il is the thing TO do.
No doubt G. Cleveland as be dimes
On turkey boned and rarest wines
Will give his thanks while saying grace
That he hath gained the "white house" race.
And poor Jim Blaine-ab, well, perchance
He after all enjoyed the dance
And will give thanks because tits told
For him rousing vote was pOlled.
And as ST. John looks up TO Heaven
Will thank the Lord that il is given,
Though he the truth dare never tell,
Yet prohibition paid him well.
And Ben, the fame and pond'rous Ben,
Perhaps he'll thank As other men,
That while the ragged babes" undOne,
Yet he a "Tewksbury" has won.
And Belva-grateful 10 the "fvc"
Who kept her dignity alive
Will give her thanks that tho bereft
Yet law and bonnets still are left
And Burchard he will thank his stars
Despite of his unluckv "R's"
For once he made famous speech
And vet, has left, some girls to teach.
And Marmaduke will thank the Lord
That though they shouted "rebel horde"
Yet still five hundred strong and true
Were left to bring him safely through.
And our own Hickman, he will thank
While gnawiDg OF a turkeys shank,
The BAzOo's line that held the fort
And towed him safely into port.
And Boutwell,. Galbreath, Hatch and mort
And many others of their sort,
Will thank the Lord with happy tears
These winter nights will have no fears.
And Kehoe, Gentry, Guenther, Black,
With appetites that know no lack
For drinkables und 'sich" will give
Their thanks-"leg-opera" still doth live.
So hail the day, our thanks We bring
For each and every goOdly thing,
And while we're sure that virtue wins
Let's not be thankful for our sins.
