SUICIDE OF BALMACEDA.
Chili's Ex-President Blows Out
His Brains at Santiago.
A Short Sketch of His Eventfu)
and Turbulent Career.

Valparaiso, Chilli, was thrown into wild
excitement by the story that ex-President
Balmaceda had shot himself through the
temple in his room at the Argentine Lega-
ton, in Santiago, at $50 on recent morn
ing. There was great rejoicing at the CAPT
tai, and the streets were illuminated that
night
Balmaceda attempted to escape from the
country in disguise after the surrender of
Santiago. The police were soon on his trace.
He found every avenue Of retreat cut off
tai. He arrived at the Argen-
tine Legation and one
permitted to see him except the Argen-
tine Minister and Senior Urriburia. Many
Balmaceda hesitated about essaying
any of them. He continued in
an extremely nervous condition, fearing the
vengeance of the Junta. Senior Urriburla
finally advised Balmaceda to give himself
up to the Junta. Balmaceda retired at
midnight apparently undecided as to what
he should do.
A pistol shot was heard in his room the
next morning by Sonora Urrlburla, who
notified her husband. Urriburia went after
Carlos Walker Martinez before he entered
Balmaceda's room. The door was broken
open. The body was lying on the bed, I'M
dressed. and gaping wound was in the tenn
pie. The corpse was still warm. Balmaceda
held the revolver tightly in his right hand.
AS soon as the news spread through the
city great crowds of people gathered about
the legation. Their excitement amounted
to frenzy. Domingo Zorro, Balmacedas
brother-in-law, and Arrieta Melchor Corleta,
the Uruguay Minister, FASTENED to the le-
cation
The Junta, upon receiving the news inn
mediatey issued commission, which COM
prised Carlo Walker Martinez Senior Mel
Choir Senior Concho and Judge Aguerro of
the Supreme Court. They viewed the body
at the legation, and then drew up a process
verbal certifying to the mode of Balnla-
cedas death. The German Minister, Gut
schmidt, all old friend of Balmaceda. also
viewed the fallen leaders body as it lay at
the legation.
Balmaceda left letter to his mother and
a statement intended for publication. He
declares in the latter that during the past
eight months he had acted with the
firm conviction that he was right, and that
he had no one in the army whom
he could trust. He believed that his
generals were false to him, that they
continually deceived him, and That had they
obeyed his orders the battle of Conoon
would have been won by them. He de-
clared that his heart had been with Chih;
that he sought to rescue his country
from foreign domination and to make
her the first republic in America
He expressed regret that he did not take
Minister Egans advice, conclude peace, and
retire from the country. His wife, he says,
gave him S25O0-all the money he had in his
possession. Balmaceda also wrote Senior
Urriburia, saying that himself alone was re-
spOnSble for his death.

Well, Hardly.

After advertising balloon ascen-
sion at Lake Park on the fourth of
July and failure on the part of the
aeronaut to show up, and then max
ing three attempts since that time
to send up balloon from that point,
all Of which were failures, the mana
gers of the park cannot expect the
people to go down there any more to
see the attractions they offer. Messrs.
Hermes, Staley & Co. should now
take turn at keeping their promises
with the people or they will be looked
upon as first class frauds and treated
accordingly. The people of this city
may be made fools of occasionally, but
when lot Of fellows try to keep it up
all summer it becomes monotonous.

The Small boy is Happy.

The bills announcing an exhibition
to be given in this city on Wednes-
day next of Rentz & Co.'S Circus
were put up Wednesday, and
straightway the small boy put away
his base ball and bat and has since
been admiring the flaming posters.
Even the announcement of another
balloon ascension at Lake Park
would make no impression upon his
mind, as he is intently counting over
the nickels he has saved and the
number of days before the show
comes. He'll not forget the date
and Rentz & Co. can count on his
being there in force.

Fruit Drying Up.

The excessively hot weather we
have had for a week or two is dam
aging the peaches and other fruit up
on the trees, stunning their growth
and causing some varieties to dry up.
Mr.. Jennings, the fruit farmer, says
some of his finest peach trees, from
which he expected large and fine
preserving fruit, are not doing well
at all since the hot spell, the fruit
at about the size of wal
nut and very Indifferent at that.

A Cure for Paralysis.

Frank Cornelius, of Purcell, Ind.
Ter, says: 81 induced Mr.. Pinson,
whose wife had paralysis in the face,
to buy a bottle of Chamberlain's
Pain Balm. To their great surprise
before the bottle had all been used
she was a great deal better. Her
face had been drawn to one side; but
the Pain Balm relieved all pain and
soreness, and the mouth assumed it's
natural shape" 1t is also a certain
cure for rheumatism, lame back,
sprains, swellings and lameness. 30

At Rest.

In our last issue we made mention
of the fact that little Dick Morris
was lying at the point of death with
lock-jaw caused by breaking his
right wrist three weeks ago, amputa-
ton of the arm having become
necessary. The poor little fellow
fingered until few minutes before
four o'clock Tuesday morning, when
death came to his relief. Few peo-
pie are called upon in this world to
undergo the intense suffering this
little fellow endured for more than
week and death to him was indeed
great blessing. He was great
favorite with his teacher and school
mates, so gentlemanly and kind was
his treatment Of all with whom he
was thrown in contact, and he will
be sadly missed by them all. At
home he was the pet of the house
hold, the joy of fond parents hearts
and they are completely crushed
under the great affection that has
come upon them. God pity the
stricken hearts and help them to
bear the burden he has seen fit to
lay upon them.
The funeral took place Wednesday
afternoon from the First Presbyterian
Church, the services being conducted
by Rev. H. G. Henderson, Of the
Methodist Church.

Selling by Sample.

Agents for wholesale houses in one
of the larger cities were canvassing
the residence portion of the city on
Thursday soliciting orders for gro
ceries, which they propose to furnish
at prices far below what our local
merchants are selling, and we are
sorry to say that some of your citi-
zens, who are in other lines Of bust
ness but are dependent upon this
community for their patronage,
placed orders with these agents, re-
questing them to say nothing about
it. We do not know how many or
ders they secured, but suppose very
many, as cheap groceries generally
catch the average housekeeper. The
citizens who gave these orders knew
very well when they did so that they
were injuring their town, and that
the merchants who pay license to do
business here and whose taxes go to
keep up the city, have a perfect right
to expect their trade, else why did
they want it kept secret?
1t is this same class of people who
stand upon the street corners, talk
the loudest about the slow-going old
town and bewail the lack of PROCESS
sive spirit among our citizens, and
yet stab the town in the back in this
way when the opportunity offers.
No wonder that Frankfort is be-
hind her neighbors in every thing,
and she will always be so if her lead
ing citizens continue TO go away from
home to buy their supplies, in order
to save few pitiful cents upon a
barrel Of sugar, a sack Of coffee or
yard of cloth.

The Laughing Plant.

: The laughing plant grows in Arabia, and
according to The Medical Times, is so call
ed by reason of the effect produced upon
those who eat it's seeds. The plant is of
moderate size, with bright yellow flowers,
and soft, velvety seedpods, each of which
contains two or three seeds resembling
black beans. The natives of the district
where the plant grows dry these seeds and
reduce them to powder. A dose of this
powder has similar effects to those arising
from the inhalation of laughing gas. 1t
causes the most sober person to dance,
shout and laugh with the boisterous ex-
element of a mailman, and to rush about
cutting the most ridiculous capers for
about an hour. At the expiration of this
time exhaustion sets in, and the excited
person falls asleep, to awake after several
hours with no recollection of his antics.

Big Belts Made of Paper.

The Sun calls attention to the paper belts
that have the reputation of being superior
in many respects to those of leather These
belts are made from pure linen stock, and
are of any desired thickness, width or
length. having also driving power equal
to any other from an equal surface, and
while it is not claimed for them that they
are adapted to all kinds of work, they are
found to serve well as straight driving
belts of not less than five inches in width.
Where they have been tested side by side
with leather belts for strength and dura-
bility they are alleged to have proved
equally satisfactory, adhering very closely
to the pulley, generating no electricity
while running being also flexible and I'M
affected by temperature within ordinary
limits, though there is one place in which
they cannot be used, and that is where
they have to run in water, or where they
would be constantly subjected to moisture.

Another Use for Iron Tubes.

A new use has been found for tubes pro-
dpced by the Mannesmann process, says
the London Ironmonger. At the funeral
of Count Won Moltke the troops were
equipped for the first time with lances, the
shafts OF which, instead of being wood, as
usual, were formed of very thin steel
tubing, made at the Mannesmann works.
The tubes are, it is said, actually lighter
than wood, while at the same time possess
sing much greater elasticity and strength.
The only drawback appears to be less Sc
cure grip which the metal surface offers as
compared with wood.

To Temper a Spring.

The country matchmaker more than his
city confrere is called upon to temper asoft
spring. This, explains The Neurological
Review, can be done by preparing a lead
bath, that is, a quantity of lead in an iron
pot, raising it to such heat that the lead
is red. Into this plunge the spring, and
keep it in for sufficient length of time;
then when hot enough quickly plunge into
cold water or lard oil. 1t is necessary next
to give it the right temper, which is done
by dipping the spring into a small vessel
of boiling linseed Oil for few seconds and
then into cold oil.
