arnment from Jan. 1 to date" A formal
yerdict of murder and suicide was all that
the coroner's jury could return. They as
Gertained no cause for the awful deed, and
probably solution of the mystery will
never be obtained.
Rendered desperate by incurable disease,
George Harris, of Newbern, Ills, went
down into the valley, faced death, and then
concluded to live An hereditary ailment
renders useless his lower limbs. For forty
years he has been hopeless invalid, and
although tenderly cared for by sister he
finally wearied of life. SO he opened a
vein in his left arm and watched the
blood flow until he swooned from eXhaus-
ton. For fortnight he lay apparently
dying. Then he revived sufficiently to in
form his relatives that he was bent on end
ing an unhappy existence, and that he
would eat no more food.
Poison" he said, II will take at any
time, but not one morsel of nourishment -
During the next thirty days nothing but an
occasional sip of water passed the mans lips.
On the thirty-frst he demanded hearty
meal. Evidently he had wearied of star
vation's slow course, and desired to end his
lingering agony by overeating. His sister
gave him little milk, and after some per-
suasion induced him to abandon his grim
resolve Harris portrait. printed here
with, shows him as he looked when 80
years of age.
David P. Davis is another man who de
sires to die. He is in prison at Leaven,
worth, Kan, and has been convicted on
circumstantial evidence of killing his
wife, who was found smothered to death in
bed Mrs. Heath was an elderly widow
of means when she took Davis for hus-
band. The latter wished to control her
property. A quarrel ensued. The murder
followed, then the arrest, trial and verdict
of guilty. Only constant vigilance on the
part of the prison officials keeps the con.
demned man, who constantly asserts his
innocence, from committing suicide.
1t is hardly probable that the veil OF
mystery will ever be raised from any of the
tragedies here set down. The identity OF
the Astor House guest, the reason for the
Dietz horror, the cause of Harris strange
illness, the responsibility for Mrs. Davis
assassination-all these are strange ques
tions involving life and death. but tc
which there are no answers.

Dee, H. w. Smith, Ogden Hiles, Phillip

Several stirring speeches were made
touching upon the national Democratic is
sues of today. The meeting was grand
success in every particular.

Homage to sherman,

Yesterday at - o'clock the Young Amer

five or thirty members of the G. A. r. and
thirty cadets from the Ogden military acad-

his advent seemed, if anything, to increase
the devotion with which the parents re-
garded each other. On Alcatraz island
they were universally liked, and therefore
the announcement the other day that DR..
Dietz had slain his wife and then killed
himself was received with incredulity and
amazement. But it proved to be only too
true
Returning from visit to patient at G
O'Clock in the morning, the doctor entered
the bedchamber, turned down the clothes
that covered the sleeping form of Mrs
Dietz, and fired a. charge from shotgun
into her body. The heart was pierced and
death must have been instantaneous. Then
the murderer reloaded the weapon, pointed
it toward himself and pulled the trigger,
with result equally swift and fatal.
No one heard the reports, for the occu-
pants of the next room were absent and
the walls are three feet thick. The Chi

nounced it by rap on the door. No re-

GERMANYS LIQUOR Law

Germany has declared in favor of
pronounced restrictions upon the liquor
traffic. The great empire starts in
with modified prohibition. The en-
peror endorses the measure. The tele-
graphic summary of the law leaves us
uniformed as to details, and as to the
full reach of its provisions. 1t seems
clear that what has been termed the
personal liberty of the subject as to the
use of liquor has been invaded in a
marked degree. Retail licenses can
only be granted to persons Of proper
character and in suitable locations
and where the needs are apparent
In cities of more than five thous-
and people the sale of liquor
is limited to inns and saloons, ex-
eept that drug stores may sell it
in sealed and labeled bottles.
Inns and saloons are prohibited from
selling drinks to minors under 10 years
of age, not travelling or unaccompanied
by adults. The prohibition extends
also to persons having been convicted
of common drunkenness within three
years, to persons intoxicated, to per-
sons not paying in advance or at the
time of the purchase of the liquor, ex-
cept when served at a meal. Provision
is made to place under guardianship
the drinking characters who neglect
their families OF endanger the public
welfare. The law imposes fine or i'm
prisonment upon those who become i'm
toxicated and are holding positions
where the lives of persons are entrusted
to their care or skill.
The German government is progress
sive. Prussia was the first great ma
ton in Europe that grasped the idea of
providing schools for and educating
the masses. Austria felt the effects OF
that education. Napoleon III discov-
cred the force of that policy.
Sedan was witness to il.
Now when intemperance is threaten
ing the efficiency of the subjects of the
young emperor and lessening their
usefulness as soldiers and subjects, he
takes a step IN advance of all other
European nations. 1t is but first
step. 1t is a courageous step. If car
ried out effectually the result flowing
from it must lead to other steps in the
same direction, and Germany's supe-
riority on the field of battle viii be
maintained in the future as in the past.
As educated men are superior to uned-
ucated in men battle, so are temperate
