The practice of chewing gum
is old. Our great grandfathers
used to be gum chewers. They
gathered the gum themselves
in the woods. But perhaps
you've tried chewing spruce
gum" That was the olden
time gum. There wasn't any
better gum then. Life is too
short to chew any other sort
but BEEMAN's. It's up-to-date.
It's ready and chewable from
the start.
Mr.. Beeman says there is a
small amount Of pepsin in each
tablet. You know that pep
sin aids digestion. We have
customers who affirm that
their digestion has improved
since they have chewed BEE
MANS Gum.
Have you ever tried it? It's
a five-cent experiment.
Give the children BEEMAN's
GUM. It's better for them
than candy; it's cheaper; it
won't upset their stomachs.

of her character, the ladyIike demeanor
to all with whom she comes in contact
at once win her the admiration of all
aud the influence which she exerts over
her scholars cannot fail of being most
helpful inaaassisting them to properly learn
what constitute the perfect elements of
true womanhood. We would also men

HUNTED TO HIS DEATH
ID. HERRIG, A SUICIDE, LEAVES a
VERY SINGULAR LETTER.
Takes Rough ON Rats on n Bank of
Fall Creck-Hints ut
n Crime.

Shortly after 6 o'clock last night a man
going through a swampy bit of land on the
north bank of Fall creek, just west of lii
nois street. found a man lying on the
ground, groaning in great pain. After an
unsuccessful attempt to arouse the man
he notified the City Hospital. The am
bulance. in charge of DR.. Cole, was sent
to the place, and when it arrived there the
man was found TO be unconscious. He was
removed to the hospital. where he died
shortly after Z o'clock. Two empty boxes,
marked Rough on Rats and Ready Rat
Killer and a letter written in German,
plainly told that it was a case of premedi-
tated suicide. The letter read as follows:
"When you get these lines L will be dead.
What have / ever done to you that you
should hunt me to death? / never thought
in my whole life - ever commit such a
flthiness. Being accused of such a crime.
| cannot live any longer. L go unto death
knowing that | am innocent. Such a con-
science is sufficient to me, but you people
who for money sell body and soul are not
satisfied with it. 1t is the second time 1
am here in Indianapolis since L have been
wandering around"
The letter was written On brown paper,
with a lead pencil, and in a very poor
hand. 1t was signed, "B. Herrig," and
was addressed to III. A. Mayer, No. 2535
Cottage Grove avenue, Chicago, ILL.," The
man was about fifty years old, though his
stubby black beard and hair were not
ever tinged with gray. He was five feet
eleven inches in height. A close search of
his clothing revealed a five-cent piece and
a small package of tobacco. As the man
was dressed in a suit of overalls and a
pair of heavy new shoes Coroner Beck
thinks he was a laborer, and possibly n
painter or a plasterer. as the condition Of
the overalls would indicate. Nothing could
be found to give a clew to where he was
staying in this city. He was, perhaps, go
ing home from work when he took the
drug.
The contents of the letter puzzles the
coroner. Though 1T seems as If there has
been some trouble between the man desig-
mated as Mayer and Herrig, the Coroner
hardly thinks it was in the line of police
notice. He sent a telegram to Mayer at
the address given, and expects an answer
this morning. Herrig's body was taken to
Flanner x Buchanan's morgue, where it is
awaiting Identification.

SCANDAL TO BE AIRED
COUNTY COMMISSIONERS BRIDGE
JOBBERY IN THE COURTS.
Grand Jury, Under "a Democratic
Prosecutor, VIII Not Reach
Them, but N Suit VIII.

There is now a probability that the trans
actions of the County Commissioners in
letting the contract for the First-street
bridge over White river may receive an
airing in court, although Prosecutor
Hoffman shows no disposition to have the
grand jury investigate.
The act OF the commissioners in this con-
tract is very fresh in the memory of the
taxpayers. 1t has not been so long since
the letting Of the contract that the tax
payers have forgotten that the Journal
printed the name of the company that
would receive the contract several days be-
fore it was awarded. A citizen writing to
the Journal at the time offered to wager
500 that the Wrought Iron Bridge Company
would receive the contract, and, sure
enough, after a few days of pretended in
vestigation, the commissioners awarded the
contract TO this company. Despite the ex-
pose of their evident intention to fix up a
job, the commissioners went ahead and
awarded the work to the firm that has a
cinch on all bridge work over White river
and has had ever since the term of office
of Mr.. Hunter began. 1t is remembered
that a home firm-the Brown-Ketcham
works-bid $1,000 lower on the work than
the Wrought Iron company. The question
considered by the commissioners, however,
was not how much was the bid, but who
was the bidder? With this consideration.
there was but one firm that stood the least
possible chance of getting the work.
A suit will be filed within a few days to
question the right of the commissioners to
thus wwillfully and flagrantly violate the law
requiring contracts TO be let to the lowest
and best bidder. The suit will seek TO enjoin
the commissioners from carrying out the
contract entered into in direct violation of
the law. There are a large number of tax
payers who have become highly incensed at
the action of the county board of autocrats
and are seeking to devise some way in
which to compel the board to perform its
duty according to the law. There has been
sufficient room for the grand jury to in
v~estigate the commissioners, but as the in
quisitorial body is in the hands of the chair
man of the Democratic county committee,
it is hardly probable the shadow of the
penitentiary will reach over the Commits
SiOnerS' Court.

FALLACIEs CONCERNING INSANITY.
DR.. F. B. Wynn's Lecture Before the
Science Club.

At the meeting Of the Science Club, at
the Denison House, last evening, DR.. f. B.
Wynn read an interesting paper on Pop
ular Fallacies Concerning Insanity" The
paper was written in a popular vein, de-
void of technicalities, and was enjoyed. DR..
Wynn spoke from an experience OF about
six years in the hospitals at Logansport,
Ind. and Dayton, O. He treated humor-
ously the exaggerated ideas of insanity en-
tertained by most inexperienced persons.
and recited instances of sheriffs bringing
weak and emaciated persons to hospitals in
heavy manacles. The general idea that the
insane person is possessed OF herculean
strength. with wild glazing eyes, was shown
TO be in most cases false. The appearance
OF the lunatic generally does not differ ma
terially from those not considered insane.
Under acute maniacal excitement the power
of endurance does seem greater than nor
NAL. The degree of waste, however, Is just
as great. That the patients often die OF
physical exertiOn indicates that the power
of endurance is more apparent than real.
The proportion of violent and demonstra-
tive patients found in asylums day after
day will not exceed one to one hundred
population.
Insanity does not cause as much suffer
ing on the part of the individual as is COM
monty supposed, as an acute attack Is gem
orally supervened by what might be termed
an exaggerated phlegmatic state. After
concluding the paper the speaker showed
the members of the club many letters writ
ten by persons under treatment for insan-
ity. which illustrated the many varying
conditions which had been formally dis
cuSSed.
