BURNED HERSELF TO DEATH.-Mias Ida
McI.ain died at Chattanooga, on Saturday
from the result of burns received in deli
berate attemptto burn herself to death, she
having set fire to her clothing at the cook
stove. The cause of the young woman's
desire to end her existence lay 10 the dis
satisfaction with her position in life, she
being beautiful and with an education gu
perior to her station. She had also lately
had trouble with her parents, and had gone
for time away from home. Returning, she
took up her residence with her grandmother.
She constantly complained of her position,
and the fact that she had been compelled to
leave home, until her feelings finally became
30 wrought up that she made the attempt
upon her life, which resulted as she desired.

Well, the imposition of such tax wouldn't
be at all surprising. This country imposes
such tax on all Belgian imports, and ma
lions az wei! as individuals like to "get

the tax referred to be imposed. American
farmers will not only, as now, have to sell
their products for the price fixed by foreign
markets, but in addition, have the tag on the
reduced quantity they will send to Belgium
deducted from that price.

THE FACT that the three names on Gen
ecsl Mahone's ticket are those of three ex'
Confederates will not make any ex.Confed
crate, or the son of one, forget the unnatural
other fact that it was Gen. Mahone's one vote
that defeated resolution in the U. 5. Sem
ate to repeal the statute prohibiting ex-
Confederates from holding commissions 10
the U. s. army. The only wonder about
the ticket is that two ex. ConfedeIates could
have been found willing to go upon it with
another one whose vote would prevent their
old comrades from holding commissions In
the U. s. army. if they should ever be called
upon to fight in that army.

A Queer Sight in a Prohibition State.

Prohibition comes pretty near be-
ing a failure in Kansas. A traveller
just from that State says he had no
trouble at all in getting all he want
ed to drink, though sometimes the
beverage had queer sounding names.
One thing he noticed particularly,
and that was the large amount Of
ginger ale that found circulation.
In almost any part of the State
and he was all over it-he found
Milwaukee ginger ale for sale, and
he wondered therat until accident
showed him that the bottles con-
tanned beer. The mystery was ex-
planned. One of the funniest things
he saw, however, in the State, in the
way of inebrity, was on q sheep
ranch. A man near Manhattan
owns q large ranch and buys whisky
by the barrel for the especial benefit
of the sheep. He uses it on them
as an antidote for rattlesnake bites,
and It works like charm. Rattle
snakes are very thick in that Sec
ton, and the herdsmen are obliged
to be on the continual lookout, or
