COMMITTED SUICIDE.
Miss Daisy Garland, Daughter Of Elk.
Attorney General Garland, Shot
Herself Through the Heart.

Miss Daisy Garland, daughter of
ex United States Attorney General
Gafland, committed suicide az her
home in Washington. Friday morn
ing.
She was "a years old and thought
to be insane at the time.
Miss Garland had spent a very
pleasant evening with her father and
brother last night at their home
and retired apparently in good spir-
its. After breakfast this morning
she retired to her room where her
brother William went shortly after
to talk With her concerning a thea
tire party. He found the door lock-
ed and not receiving any response to
her calls, burst into the. room and
found his sister lying on the floor
dead, the bullet having passed
through her heart. He smelt gas and
thought at first she had been as.
phyxiated, but upon examination
found bullet hole in her left side
and on the floor near her lay an old
revolver which had been in the fam
lily for fifty years.
About two months ago Miss Gar
land suddenly left home and was
found in Baltimore, but since that
time nothing peculiar has been no
ticed in her actions. The cause of
the suicide is not definitely known
but it is attributed mainly to re-
ligious mania, of which she is said
to have been possessed.
The ex Attorney General had left
the house for his office, and it was
an hour or more before his daugh-
ter's awful death was known to him.
He was so completely overcome that
he could scarcely stand when the
news reached him.
From the position in which Miss
Garland's body lay it is evident that
she had stood in front of large
mirror and taken deliberate aim at
her heart. She had taken the pre-
caution of turning on all the gas jets
in the room so that in case the
bullet failed in its deadly work the
gas would smother her into the sleep
of death.
The true cause of Miss Garland's
self-inflicted death may never be
known. She had secret of some
kind that preyed constantly upon her
mind, but none of her friends
knew exactly what it was.

WE FURNISH OFFICES COMPLETE.
AND RUSHES.

Our prediction came true, the
crowds on Circus day surged in
on US so heavy we were unable
to wait on half our trade; our
extra force of clerks were a great
help'to us, but we could have
used twice as many. Ladies
complained at not being waited
on for Wraps and it was our
regret we could not wait on all
but we we're rushed too heavy,
but regardless of that fact we
sold nearly out of our immense
stock of Ladies Wraps and were
compelled to telegraph at once
for a new supply and we are
again ready to show our custo-
mers magnificent line Of all the
late style capes and coats. Re-
CARELESS Of the cry of hard times
we have sold more fine garments
than any previous season.

70 lay a tax on whisky and beer
is proposed as a means to raise rev.
enue for the support of the govern
ment. People wouldn't do a great
deal of complaining were this to be
done. There would at times be a
great rush to pay this tax. Really,
a great many people would be anx-
ious to pay it. They would watch
and wait for opportunities to do it.
Sometimes they would borrow small
sums to get to do it, such being the
nature of patriotic feeling of thirsty
souls. By all means let us have a
tax on whiskey and beer.

The bill, amending the Geary ex-
clusion act, having received very
large majority in the House, will
not improbably become law. 1t
modifies the Geary act in giving the
Chinese six months more in which
to register by defining the meaning
of the terms "Ckinese laborers" and
by making persons other than
"white" persons competent witness
es for the Identification of Chinese.
The more brutal features of the act
are thus removed.

How can you sell the best of ev-
erything in your line at prices lowe
than any one else, is a question often
asked us. The answer is simple
one. BY practicing all the small
economies in business, of which a
few only may be briefly noted, such
as buying only for cash; buying at
wholesale; shipping in car lots, and
so getting lowest freight rates; I'M
loading and storing at our private
railroad siding by machinery. and so
saving loading with teams and much
manual labor; by buying by tele-
graph on each decline in the market,
and keeping full stock of supplies
on hand in our own ware rooms and
elevator, and by use of newest and
best machinery in making chop,
meals, hominy and grits By these
means the Victor Mills Co. defies
competition, and sells the best in
quality at the lowest price. Try and
see and believe for yourself

Aside from the President of the
United States, Carter Harrison was
the best known man in the country.
The news of his cold blooded assas-
sination came as a shock to every
body, people seeming dumbfounded
that it is possible for crank, who
did not even enjoy the personal ac-
quaintance Of his victim, to do so
dastardly deed, and nation mourns
in consequence. 1t is peculiar that
people will think of lynch law in
cases OF this kind, but they will, no
matter how many hundreds of miles
they may be removed from the scene
OF the tragedy. The crime was so
terrible, and resulted from no cause
brought on by the deceased, that the
people of the city of Chicago are JUS
tilted in demanding, since the law is
to be allowed to have its course, that
the trial of the red handed assassin
be quick, short and his sentence sure.
Not much evidence is needed to con
wet. Death is sure for this murder
er. 1t is somewhat of matter of
surprise that he has lived thus far
after his awful crime.

That Ox-Gad in the school Room
We we're much delighted with the
lucidity and reasonableness of our
contemporary, the Parkersburg State
Journal, en- the use Of the ox-gad in
the school-up to a certain point.
We are sorry that it is not yet en-
tirely out of the woods
The days of the OK gad," says
the Journal, 'as an instrument of
development and means of educa-
tional grace are about gone"
THE school master has no more
place in modern education than the
witch burner has, To cut hole in
the hide with a whip is not quick
or desirable way to reach the heart
or the brain. The new and better
education does not include body
pounding in its curriculum.
The above, and other good things,
has the journal said against the
barbarity Of corporal punishment in
the schools. But we wish that editor
had not stopped when these good
things were said.
We are sorry to find that an editor
who can write such conclusive things
against the use of the CAD, should
seem to have stopped short in his
reasoning of the right conclusion.
We are sorry that he should give
encouragement to the continuance of
the barbarity by apparently conced-
ing that teacher has a right to use
the CAD in any case.
Now, inasmuch, as our esteemed
contemporary is almost civilized in
his position on this question, we are
solicitous that he should get entirely
out of the clutches of hoary error,
and stand upright and clear on a
nineteenth century platform. We
therefore take the pains to lay down,
for his benefit, few propositions
which are fundamental, but which
he does not yet seem TO have reached,
l. There is no law in heaven or
on earth that gives authority to any
man to whip any other mans child.
2. No State in the Union has ever
put ON its statute book the authority
to any school teacher to whip a pu
pill, and no State ever will, until and
unless the State can and will first
declare that the parent is not the
natural guardian of his child.
3. The recognition by the COM
mon law of the right of teacher to
fog a child, was founded on the
egregious assumption that pounding
was an essential part of the educa-
tional process, and secondly that the
teacher stood in the place of the par
ent, being selected and paid by him,
and the parent tacitly agreed that
his child should be pounded as a
part of his education. But the rea-
sons for the rule are utterly done
away when the State selects the
teacher, pays him, and the parent
has no choice but to send his child
to him whether he is fit or unfit. |
Neither does the rule, we assume,
obtain in the light of the nineteenth
century, on the assumption that
pounding is legitimate and neces
sary element in mental discipline.
Moreover the reason of the common
law rule is shown to be inapplicable
to the present public school system,
from the fact that the majority of
parents not only do not authorize
the teacher to whip their children,
but the parent who does not resent
such an outrageous assumption by
teacher is unworthy, in the view of
the most enlightened sentiment of
the time, of being the guardian of a
child
