WEARY OF LIFE.
The Wife of SWitchman At
tempts Suicide at Her Home
In East Sedalia.
Laudanum Was the Drug Used,
But DIR. Piper Succeeded i'm
Saving Her Life.

Mrs. L. S. Better, living at No.
4OS North Engineer street, attempted
suicide yesterday afternoon, by tax.
ing laudanum.
Mr.. Better is aswitchman, working
on the night force in the Missouri
Pacific yards, having come from Kan
sas City a month ago. His wife and
three children followed him and
arrived here Monday last.
When the lady was seen by a
BAzoo reporter at her residence this
morniug she at first refused to say
anything. and said it was no ones
business what she had done; but when
reminded of the fact that the story
would be published, she said after
some reflection:
"It took laudanum yesterday after
noon to make me sleep, so l could
forget my troubles, but finding that
it did no good and made me sick,
| took some peppermint, which made
me worse. then took some wbiskey
and laid down, and never knew any
thing until this morning. / never
attempted suicide and | don't intend
to take my life. My troubles are very
heavy. / have two children buried
in Kansas City and | don't think peo-
pie can blame me much for doing what
| have"
Her story of attempted self-desiruc-
ton was cOrroborated to a great ex-
tent by some of the neighbors, who
are attending her. From a lady liv-
ing in that neigh borhood it
was learned that Better came home
yesterday morning somewhat intoxi.
Gated, and few moments after he
entered the house there was a great
uproar, which appeared to be be-
tween husband and wife. The neigh
bors were frightened and were afraid
that be would iDjure her. 10 the
afternoon Mrs. Better came down
town and returned home about three
o'clock.
After she had gone inside the house
something Was said and then the
children began to scream. The neigh
bors focked to the residence and
found Mrs. Better in lifeless condi-
ton. The children being questioned,
said:
Mamma is going to kill herself"
DR.. Piper was called and after a
hard struggle pronounced the patient
out of danger.
From the two stories it appears that
Better has been given to dissipation,
and on going home yesterday had a
little difficulty with his wife. At
the hour of going to press the lady
was resting very easy.

For some time past it has been q
mooted question as to how the
primary elections are to be con-
ducted on August 2; whether under
the Australian system, or after the
old fashioned Observation-Disclosures
style of few short months ago. A
number of prominent Sedalia lawyers
were Intercepted yesterday by a
BAzoo rambler and with one accord
they agreed that the primaries must
be conducted under the Australian
system. This will give freedom of
choice which will upset the old
method of voting early and often at
the primaries.
