A Terrible suicide.

The mangled body Of a woman was
found lying on the railroad track near the
Pacific mills, just west of the bridge over
Weir's creek, in Jefferson, Mo. The body
was soon identified as that of Miss Chris
tiana Pommey. maiden lady 36 years of
age, who lived with her sister, Mrs. Vognt,
wife of City Engineer Mr.. voght. From
the family Of Voght it was learned that
Miss Pommey has been suffering from
mental arrangement for some time, and in
these paroxysms had often threatened to
drown herself. The family has kept a
yigilant watch over her movements for
some time. She must have left the house
very early, as no one had noticed her leav-
ing. 1t appears that she attempted to
drown herself, as her clothing was vet. 1t
seems that after walking into the river she
saw train approaching. when she imme-
diately came out and hastened to the rail-
road and threw herself across the track be-
fore the engineer had time to check up the
train. A coroner's jury viewed the body
and decided that it was case OF suicide.
Miss Pommey came to Jefferson from
Madison, Ind, over year ago on visit
to her sister, Mrs. voght. She was an
educated lady and something of poetess,
but financial troubles affected her mind

The first effort to close the saloons in
Scott county under the prohibitory Law has
been made. There are nearly three hun
dred saloons in the county. In the dis.
trict court petition for a temporary in
junction against three saloons in Dixon
was filed. The motion for immediate ser
vice was refused by Judge Waterman on
the statute ground that no injunction shall
be served without notice. The petition is
based ON the fact that the complainants,
who are women, have ordered the saloon
keepers not to sell liquor to their husbands
and that they persist in doing so.

A Rich Mans Flower Window.

The house in Philadelphia where the
widow of Matthew Baldwin now lives is
in the center of the business part Of
Chestnut street, and is remarked upon
by many of the passers 10y because of the
peculiar arrangement of a conservatory
built on the level with the street. 1t is
like n good sized shop window, but as
there is no door visible il cannot he mis-
taken for one. Beautiful flowers bloom
there all the year round.
1t seems that when Mr.. Baldwin was q
lad. before re ever dreamed of fame as q
manufacturer of locomotives, he was
daily in the habit Of passing on his way
to work a window filled with flowers.
As he had a passionate love for them, he
invariably stopped and ga2ed upon them
with delight for a moment or two. After
he became a rich man and looked back
to his boyhood DAYS, when he was strug-
CLING for q livelihood and found SO much
cheer and comfort from this glimpse of
natures loveliness, he resolved that he
would bc the means Of giving some other
boy.a chance TO look and admire in the

special regard TO this window of flowers,

This store was started little over three
years ago with a s., 900 stock of goods with
five statesmen behind the counter. Gradu-
ally but slowly the Racket began to wind
its way into public favor, and people in great
numbers tiocked into the store to purchase
these goods and such other articles as they
wanted and could be found than man sell
ing and buying for cash and running no
risk. Can sell goods cheaoer than one buys
on time and sell on long time, and in many
credit expects to pay double price ii he
pays at all. Thus the Racket keeps racket
ing away and pushing itself to the front.
We are now occupying a house three times
as large as we did when we first commenced
and carrying a stock of goods worth So, coo,
instead of 5000 when we first commenced,
and have twenty statesmen instead of tive
when we commenced. The Racket has
turned many hundred sales away from the
credit system and now buying for cash We
are now opening our fail and winter stock
of goods bought for cash, at very reduced
rates, many articles for one half what they
are worth and will be sold to our customers
