the room where Dietrich lay being COM
pletely spattered with blood and brains
Dietrich had evidently placed the muz-
zle of the gun to one side of his face and
literally blown his head to pieces. He
had evidently gone to work deliberately
to accomplish his end. Two letters adj
dressed to A. Muhlheim had been plac-
ed in the window, they having previous
ly been written at home The letters
contained a good deal of rambling
thoughts, going to show that he had
worried good deal over losing his posi-
ton in the shops, and the remainder
was of little interest to the public.
Several other witnesses were examin-
ed and after deliberation the jury
brought in the following verdict:
That his death was caused by charge
OF shot from shotgun tearing away the
front portion OF his head That said gun
was discharged by himself with suicidal
intent while in a temporary insane con-
dition.
Mr. Dietrich had been employed as
machinist in the shops for about seven
y0d4o, anu I4Fod Will his Iaullly on q
farm north of town. He was a member
of the Workmen lodge and his family
will get $4,000 insurance money. He
was OF very nervous temperament and
every little thing seemed to worry him.
Last Saturday he told friend that he
had not been able to sleep for eight days
and was undoubtedly suffering from
nervous trouble when he committed the
rash act that ended his life.
The funeral services were held in
Grand Army hall on Tuesday afternoon
conducted by Rev. Woodward

Robbery.

The usual peaceful quietude of our lit
tie city was thrown into state ofexcite-
ment Monday evening when it was
learned that the depot was broken into
and that our station agent, Mr.. J. W.
Whitmer, had been relieved of not only
$28 of the q. P. Railway company's
money and about SIS of his personal as
sets, but his little %, too. The entrance
to the depot was affected by demolish-
ing the west pane in the bay window.
Two suspicious looking characters,
who were ''armed to the teeth and
who had been lowering around our lit
tie city for day or two previous arous-
ed the suspicion of our citizens and
called them to arms. Every man and
gun in town were pressed into service,
to hunt down the miscreants.
With the earth covered with a light
snow, aided by light moon, it was an
easy matter to trace the footsteps of both
man and beast, hence the trail was soon
struck and a number started in pursuit
of the robbers. The wind blew and the
snow drifted, and the pursuit was
abandoned.
In the meantime our station agent
hied himself to Collyer and heralded
the news to our neighboring towns.
R. H. Sampson and L. A. Myers took
upon themselves to guard the town and
secreted themselves, with two trusty 81
40's in the postofice, and should anv
one attempted forcible entrance it
would have been woe unto the perpe-
traitors, but no one molested the peace

The state printer plumb is still the
bone Of party struggle among number
of aspirants chief among whom are
Major Hudson, of the Capital, George
W. Crane, the accommodating job
printer of Topeka, Ed. Greer, of Win
field, and E. W. Hoch, of Marion. No
doubt any one of the gentlemen who as
pire to the position could fill it well,
but the question confronting the tax
payers of the state is why should the
state printing be such desirable plum?
Why should the state be compelled to
pay such enormous prices for its work?
The state printing should be no opium"
but rather a reasonable compensation
for the work done. No matter whether
the state printer be a popuhst, democrat
or republican the Office should not be
considered magnificent donation for
services rendered the party. Let US pay
for our state printer at a price that we
could get the same work, quantity and
quality considered, done elsewhere and
do away with making the state printery
a fat job for anybody IF the republican
house wants to retrench in place that
the people, outside of the candidates for
the position, will appreciate let them
begin with curtailing the cost of the
state printing.

On Tuesday the Hon. William Al
fred PETER, the Wisdom-Trust of the
Kaw, introduced into the Senate batch
of bills, 6ft.x51a, covering most things
under heaven, and so brilliant with
genius that the bonny feet pages had to
put on blue spectacles. Government
freight railroads, flexible currency
reasonable compensation to railroad en-
ployees, preventions of Interruptions of
Interstate commerce by strikes, those
were among the noble plans fresh from
the Peferian thought foundry. And
PETER is good and kind ms well as great.
he knows what dangers of exhaustion
Congress is exposed to while the foun-
dry continues to run overtime, and to
the bane he brings the antidote. One
of his bills provides "for the proper dis
position of deceased members of the
Senate and House of Representatives
who die at the capitol during sessions of
Congress. Such thoughtfulness as this
of Mr.. PETER is too rare, especially
among populists.-N. Y. Sun.

The Wa-Keeney Omnicrat goes over
to the London (Eng.) Echo to find an
article strong enough to suit its depraved
nature. That article asserts that the
streets of this country will flow with
blood before the sun rises on January 1,
1900. Nothing, the Echo says can avert
calamity to imagine" There ought to
be law to ship out Of the country be-
fore January l, 1895, any anarchist who
would republish such dastardly article
for the purpose of endorsing it. Let all
such putrescences be provided for in the
law soon to be passed by Congress to rid
this country of anarchists.

The funniest thing in the irrigation
movement are the objections that are
made to it. "Overproduction is a night
mare to some. Others see the ''water
supply exhausted" There was an old
maid once who cried as if her heart
would break in thinking what burden
of sorrow she would have to bear if she
would marry and have a baby, and it
should fall in the fire and be burned to
death. La Crosse Chieftain.
While the most talk is being made

While the most talk is being made
about the big irrigating ditch, let it be
borne in mind that if the country is to
be saved by irrigation plants OF the far
mer who can water only one acre or
Whereabouts. If every farmer in Rocks
county will arrange to irrigate and prop
erly cultivate one acre, it will complete
ly solve the problem as to his living ex-
penses, and there will be no Colorado
potatoes or onions shipped in next year.

There is a clear case against Monroe
The coat was part Of suit of clothes
