QUAFFED A FATAL DOSE.
a bartender Commits Suicide by Drink.
Ing Laudanum.


ing Laudanum.
Samuel S. Rhodes was found dead in hi.
room In the Squire-Latimer building by
his wife about 30 O'Clock last evening.
having committed suicide by taking iaud a.
mum.
hhodes was a bartender, but had been
out of work for some time. being so ad.
dicted to drink that he could not hold a
job.
Mrs. Rhodes has been working at the
Occidental hotel and sleeping in room 50
In the Squire-Latimer block, in which her
furniture was stored. She says she had
not seen her husband for about week.
except when she met him on the street,
and she supposed he had been on a spree.
tuesday night he went to the room about
III O'Clock and went to bed. She got
up at $3.50 in the morning to
return to her work. Rhodes asked
her II she knew where he could
get job or If he could not find work
ABOUT the hotel. She replied that she
knew of nothing. When she was going
out he remarked that she would never see
him alive again, but she thought nothing
OF It, as he was in the habit of making such
reckless threats.
Last evening she returned to the room
early to get the key which she supposed
he had left hanging outside the door for
her. She thought he had pro badly gone
away, and she feared some one might get
the key and enter the room. She found
the key and opened the door, which fast
ems with spring lock. and, on entering
the room, found things tossed about gem
orally. while off in one corner, with his
head behind trunk, lay her husband Just
breathing his last. She ran out and sum-
moned DR.. Ryan, but by the time they got
him onto the bed he was dead. On the
floor was a small laudanum bottle which
told the tale.
The body was examined by Deputy
Coroner Green and taken to Bonney e.
Stewards undertaking rooms. The ar
engagements tor the funeral will be made
today.
Rhodes was "a years of age and of Eng
lish nativity. He came to Seattle from
Kansas City about three years ago, and
has always tended bar here, working quite
steady until about year ago, when he
lost control of himself through drink.
Mrs. Rhodes says he seemed to get crazy
at times, and repeatedly took small doses
OF laudanum to scare her. About three
weeks ago he took larger dose than usual
and was much affected by it. She thinks
he was playing the same trick on this oc-
casion and got caught by taking too much.
Mrs. Rhodes, who has no children, APP
pears to be hard-working, respectable
woman whose face shows signs of ex-
treme grief. She says she was married to
Rhodes in Kansas City just before coming
here, and has had to work out to help
make living ever since; that her hus-
band was very cross and demonstrative
when under the influence of liquor and,
though he never beat her, his
actions caused her untold pain and
grief. Yet she bore it all in silence,
only confding the story of her secret suf-
ferings TO lady friend whom she knew
before coming here. and while she told her
story to a PosT-INTELLIaENcER reporter
last evening she wept as freely as though
he whose tragic end she mourned had
been worthy of her tears.

THE SOUTH SCHOOL.
Contest Between Health Board and
Board of Education.

The school board and the board OF
health are at odds over the condition of
the water closets of the South school.
The health board claims that the present
system is unwholesome. and some time
aso it gave notice to build outside closets
forty feet from the building. The school
authorities have replied in effect that the
present closets are better than outside
ones would be, and that there will be no
trouble as soon as the sewer, on which
men are now working, is completed. The
board of health now threatens to arrest
somebody if the orders are not complied
with, and the school board proposes to
stand by its guns.

James A. Hyperion, violently insane,
had hearing before Judge Lichtenberg
yesterday and was ordered committed to
the asylum at Steilacoom. He is a man %
years of age and the examination revealed
the fact that he had been a victim to the
morphine habit for eight years. This to-
gether with the tact that one of his rala-
tives is in the asylum at Salem, Or, led
Drs. Holmes and Young to the belief that
insanity is hereditary IN the family. The
prisoner imagines that some one is trying
to kill him.

The September Century is particular
ly interesting for its fiction. A new
writer (from the South) comes upon
the scene, John Fox, Jr., who publishes
the first instalment of two part story
entitled "A Mountain Europa" with
illustrations by Kemble. Mr.. Fox
evidently understands well the noun
tain people of whom he writes, and the
girl who is the heroine of the story is
one of the most striking characters in
recent fiction. Another new writer of
fiction, Grace Wilbur Conant, appears
in this number of the Century with a
humorous story, "Phyllida's Mourn
ing" That delightful humorist, Rich
ard Malcolm Johnston, author of
Dukesborough Tales" has a short
story in this number entitled "A
Bacholar's Counselings," with pictures
by Kemble. Still another short story
is by George Wharton Edwards, the
artist, entitled "Strange to Say" in
his quaint, illustrated serious of

An Open Letter.

ARENA, Wis, Aug. 80.
To The Iowa County Democrat:
My attention was called few days
ago to report that appeared in The
Dodgeville Chronicle, issue of Aug.
Il, giving a report of Republican
club that was organized in the town
OF Arena on Aug. 9th. l find my
name appears among the several par
ties that "enrolled their names as
members of the club and expressed a
determination to assist in making the
coming campaign decided success" ."
In justice to myself would say,
did not enroll my name on that list
neither did | authorize any one to do
so as [ cannot support the Republi-
can ticket in this campaign, for 1 am
now confident that the Protection tar
iff fallacy is radically wrong, and l
am glad to see so many of my deluded
republican friends begin to realize
that they are on the wrong side of this
tariff question that is now before us for
settlement, and are expressing deter
mlnation to support the ticket that
stands on tariff for revenue only and
that to be placed upon the luxuries
and ornamental goods instead of the
necessaries of life. n. G. PARKER.

successful exhibition. On account of
rain on Wednesday it was postponed
