Charles Rydell, a Farmer Near Wausau,
Commits Suicide.
WAUsAU, Wis, Dec. 13.-Charles
Rydell, a Swede about IS years of
age, living alone Oh 4 farm eight
miles east of this city, was found
dead in his house yesterday by
neighbors, evidently having committed
suicide He complained to the neigh
bors last Friday of feeling badly. He
was last seen Saturday. Neighbors
broke into the house Yesterday
and found him sitting on the floor in
a corner, his head blown completely
off and a shotgun resting on a chair in
front of him as if it had been set off
by his toe. No shot marks were
found and in the Judgment of
the physician the gun was loaded
with water. Rydell was an
eccentric character and spent
considerable time canvasslng for
books and magazines. His wife
left him twelve years ago, since which
time he had lived alone. It is thought
he became Respondent on account of
being pressed by creditors.

MADISON, Wis, Dec. 15.-The forty
ical Society of Wisconsin was held last
evening in it's library-rooms in the capt.
tol. President John Johnston, of Mil

lets and 1870 files. These were only
the accessions, but, counting duplicates
the library received by gilt alone
the astonishing number of H.
437 books and pamphlets. Careful
