THE REST CURE.
Its Effect In the Case Of Woman Who
Laid in Bed for Three Months.

From the New York Times.
Ono of the fashionable ways to be sick, or
perhaps more properly one of the fashionable
ways to get we'll is to undertake the rest cure.
says the New York Times. 1t is pity that this
method of restoration does not reach the class
which 1t might SO greatly benefit, for the rest
cure is efficient, but is. alas expensive and ex-
elusive to degree that puts it on the list of
unattainable things for common folks, alon q
with opera boxes, yachts and shooting on the
Scottish moors. As its name indicates, it is
rest-utter. complete and continuous rest.
A New York woman who returned recently
from a course of il under English advice tells
how she sailed away last March, accompanied
only by her husband, who babe her goodbye
at the doctors door and came back to New
York and their family, while she entered upon
a three months practical suspension of ANNA

that time communicated directly with her. It
was settled before she went into retirement
that II any serious emergency should arise she

with two three peaceful landscapes hanging
on the walls.

Yesterday it was announced that
George B. Harris, vice president of the
Burlington. & Northern, would succeed
Second Vice President Stone, of the
Chicago, Burlington & Quincy. 1t was
also reported that Mr.. Harris would as
sumo the duties of general manager Of
the 20" system: but this is a mistake.
1t is announced on good authority that
the general manager to succeed Mr..
Ripley will be the present general MAN..
ager of the Kansas City road, John M.
Egan. The directors of the 20" system
have offered the position to Mr.. Egan,
and that gentleman left last evening for
Chicago, and will to-day be in cOnsulta-
ton with the Quincy officials. There is
not the least doubt but that Mr.. Egan
Harris and Mr.. Egan are ex-
perienced railroad men. Mr.. Harris
is not only man of ability, but of great
firmness of character, and in many re-
SpectS greatly resembles the late
Thomas j. Potter. Mr.. Egan has had
lifelong training as railroad man. He
came from the Canadian Pacific to as
sumo the general management of the
Kansas City. This position he has
filed with marked success. 1t is not
known who may be chosen to succeed
Mr.. Egan. W. B. Hamblin, the efficient
general freight agent of the Burlington
Il Northern, is expected to fill the
vacancy caused by the removal of Mr..
Harris. E. p. Ripley, who has resigned
the vice presidency and general man

ROCHESTER, MIMI, April 30.-Right
Oh the heels of the news of the Richard

came that of the suicide and attempted
wife murder of John Gauch, German
farmer of the village of South Troy,
about fifteen miles north of here, in
Wabasha county, insanity from fnan-
cial troubles being the cause OF the act
He had been very nervous and down
spirited for several days, and talked al
most continuously about the $500 mort
gage that was on his farm, and also
had loaned to his brother-in-law, and
that he feared he was never going to
get it. He would not listen to consola-
tion, but insisted that he would not be
able to pay his debts as they fell due,
and that he would lose his
land. Yesterday morning he was
very Respondent, and, becoming violent.
attempted to kill his wife. He threw
an ak at her three times, but she es-
capped unhurt. He then took dose of
strychnine, and died in very short
time. His wife tried to give him an
emetic of grease and milk but he re-
fused it, saying, "If l had revolver
would kill you yet" He had 100 acres
of nice land, and his financial condition
was not by any means as desperate as
he imagined He was born in Prussia.

dren. He attempted suicide about a
year ago, but was discovered and the
attempt frustrated by the interference
of the family.

found dead last night. Schnidke ac-
complished the work with strychnine
mixed in milk, which he gave to the
child and took himself. AS there was
no milk in the house, he must have
MIXED q cow after he went home. He
died wifi the child in his arms. He left
a note written in German, translation
of which follows:
Adieu old friends. am tired OF life. l
go out of the eyes of my wife. Then she will
live more comfortably. Amen. OGod. do
it with pleasure. I take my son with me be-
cause he likes to be with me best. l take my
life on account of my mother-in-law.
He had, at various time, made threats
that, if his troubles with his wife and
her family continued, he should kill
himself, and that, if he did so, the boy
should go too. But these declarations
were never seriously thought of to the
neighborS. Mrs. Schnidke's health is
such that she can live but short time.
When told of her husbands deed she
wept bitterly for the child, but said she
had little grief for Schnidke. Those
who know Schnidke say he was hard
working, quiet, temperate man and a
good neighbOr, but, when fully aroused,
had Almost violent temper. He has no
relatives in this country.
An inquest was held this evening on
the bodies, and verdict was rendered
that father and son came to their
death by strychnine administered by
Schnidke Dere.

CHICAGO, April 8O.-Labor's annual
holiday will be celebrated tomorrow by
nearly every trade organization IN the
city. The parade promises to be a
monster affair. The many that have
spoken for places in it will turn out
full quotas, and it is estimated that
no less than $4,000 will be in line, The
one significant feature of the parade
is that it will in measure
indicate the extent of the eight-hour
agitation, for nearly all the unions that
will participate will be found arrayed
on the side of the men who are fighting
for a shorter working day. A monster
mass meeting will be held on the lake
front after the parade, which will be
addressed by Judges Tuley, Altgeld,
Tuthlll, and Prendergast; Congressman

ROCHESTER,, MIMI. April 30.-Exclte-
ment over the Sohnidke tragedy yester-
day shows no signs of subslding. The
murder of his child and his subsequent
suicide was premeditated and was most
deliberately carried out. When Schnld-
Ike went to his father-ln-law's house yes
terday it was for the express purpose OF
getting his child. His wife and mother
5in-iaW refused to let him have the boy.
sSchnidke then became greatly excited
and drew a knife, but it was taken
from him by his father-in-law before he
could do any injury to any one: He
then left, but soon after he again re-
turned and renewed his demand for the
child, threatening to kill any one who
should interfere. At last the boy was
given to him, and when he departed
he said he was going to go
home and kill himself and
the 6ald-faced team, so that his wife's
parents should not have them when he
was gone. This is the last that is known
of him until he and the child were
