KASEAEkE, LIS, July 14-Dr. Vtey,
Of the State Board Of Health, who com.
pleted the investigation at Moncie, Of the
dried beef poisoning says: The poisoning
was surely caused by the beef. Alter care
ful examination Il seems impossible that
the persons putting up that meat did not
know It was poisonous. The exact
nature of the poison, and because
Of the inferior microscopic iaeili-
ties here, am yet unable to
ascertain. The Investigation is neces-
saIily incomplete because no post moftem
has been held. Were the powers Of the
State Board Of Health enlarged the guilty
parties In such cases could be more quick
iy found and punished. The people Of
Moucie will under legal eo1nsel b apt to
discover the guilty parties.
Or. Ellis, Of kSnkAkee, consulting ply
Eici&n In the poisoning ease, says: HFrom
a partial examination under miscroseops
Of the impure beef I find the. marked
Characteristic to be q very unpleasant
odor, made more apparent ON being

Of ordinary temperature.

repor. of pistol sho. on West Coal street,
Just as the people were returning from
church at noon Sunday, created consider
able excitement. 1t proved to be a sui
eide, making the fourth one in Eve weeks
on that street. each oecurringon Sunday.
Two ladies ran excttsdly down the noun
tain aud reported thas man had shot
himself in the brush. A few minutes
later young woman was seen Running 10
the spot. a crowd followed her and
learned that Charles Dyer, resident OF
Coal street, had shot himself through the
breast.
oneyear ago Dyer came to Shenandoah.
where he was employed as bartender and
waiter at the Merchants Hotel for time,
after which he worked in the mines and
subsequently was promoted to Chute
boss" at the Coal & Iron Oompany's West
Shenandoah Colliefy. Several months
ago he met Miss Lizzie Warwick, and six
weeks ago they were married. They
were apparently happy, but two weeks
ago Dyer bought q revolver which
he constantly carried with him. his
young wife was aware Of this but looked
upon it as a matter OF protection. On last
Tuesday he came home, complained Of
being sick, and remained home all the
week. Just before dinner to-day he called
his wife, put his arms around her, kissed
her and said, Lizzie, that is the last kiss
you will ever get from me-" and laugh-
ingIy walked away, saying, watch me
wave" She smiled thinking it Joke. Ten
minutes later he appeared on the hillside
several hundred yards from the house
standing on arock he waved his handker-
chief, drew his revolver, called the atten.
ton Of the two ladies who ran away and
then deliberately fired the shot into his
breast. His wife witnessed It all from her
door and ran 70 the scene. Dyer was car.
ried home and died 4 few hours later.
It Is alleged that Dyer had a wife and
four children at P0ttsville and anticipating
arrest chose to die rather than. be exposed.

The Strikers Hear the Governor, who Calls

Bar CrTY, MICH, July 14-To-day the
strikers banked the fires In the salt blocks
of Pitts & Crauage, Miller & Lewis, and
McGraws, all of which had started up.
At noon Governor Alger, with some mem-
bers of his stat, reached here and met
with the mill men and citizens to discuss
the situation, and 70 inform himself as to
the necessities in the case. A crowd Of
strikers called for the Governor, who
spoke to them, telling them they had q
right to protection and they must respect
this right in others. They had right TO
stop work, but no right 70 interfere with
others who desired to labor.
Judge MNsson was called on for &
speech, and WIS given careful hearing
until he showed them that any attempt TO
close the mills by force would be an in
friction of the Law and should be punished,
whereupon they left him uneerenoniously,
Tha mill owners met and passed reeolu-
tons calling on the Governor for help, de-
string to have the militia to aid the sheriff
They claim 10 be ready to settle any
grievances that may exist, but believed
the highest possible wages were being
paid.
The strikers are holding meeting TO-
night. Governor Alger has ordered the
militia from 4lpena, Flint and Port
Huron 10 report for duty here, and -four
companies from Detroit TO East Saginaw.
Local organisations have also been called
on. The situation looks serious, but the
advent OF the military will probably over
awe violence. The crisis has come and
the people are determined to preserve the
law at all hazards.
