Woman Suffering from Nervous Prostra-
tion Kills Herself.
STREArDs, Ills, Aug. l3.-Captain John
NJ. Mckahan and wife of Centcrton, Ind,
were passengers on the Santa Fe on their
way home from California. When about
four miles from this place Mrs. McKahan
arose from her seat and told her husband
she was going to get drink. She filled
the cup and started to put it to her lips
She hesitated a moment, set the cup down,
and ran out the open door of the car to
the platform and leaped to the ground.
The train was stopped and she was picked
mp and brought to this city.
At the hospital her injuries were pro-
nounced fatal and she died two honrs
later without regaining consciousness.
Captain kckahan says his wife had been
suffering from nervous prostration and
was slightly demented at time. They had
been to California for her health Early
in the morning she had made an effort to
throw herself from the train, but had
been restrained b5 her husband. Members
OF the Grand Army post took charge Of
the remains and they will be shipped to
Centerton. Captain McKahan is promi-
ncnt in Grand Army circles in Indiana.

eight of these unfortunate dupes OF

This arrangement will doubtless be
very satisfactory to them. but to the
people who will have to foot the bills

different. 1t is pity that Coxey

ACCORDING to the Unions notion,
the mayor Of Rock Island would be
q mere fgurehead and helpless to act
in any event that might arise with.
out the consent of the council. The
Union is of rs usual. He is the
city's executive and his duties are
not all Of them subject to the coun-
ellis dictation and approval. The
necessity arose for appointing addi-
tional policemen. The mayor asked
the council to cooperate with him
in responding to the appeal of tax
payers. The council declined to act
in unison with him. The mayor
thercupon discharged the duty that
devolved upon him. the same as in
any other emergency.

Union square, with a black travelling bag
in his left hand and went behind a case
containing $4,000 worth of jewelry. He
opened the case and, without any appar-

monds valued at $, 900 and emptied them
into his bag.
He then closed the case, picked up his
bag, and started to walk out with the
same careless air that characterized his
action from the beginning. Mr.. Johnston
says he saw the man, who was perfect
stranger. when he opened the case, but
his auducity struck him dumb for a mo-
ment. The clerks captured the fellow
and handed him over to the police. He
gave the name of William Davis aid his
place OF residence as the Everett House.

not to bo discourteous TO Senator Allison,
one Of the silliess statements that has ever
been made, and repeated to nauseating
degree by the opponents OF tariff reform
What Senator Allison said that is new
is that the Southern States have been
making great progress in cotton manu-
factures Then he began to weep those
tears that have always flowed so luxur.
iantly from the protectionists. saying
that If the pending bill were passed these
industries would depart from the region
where the cotton fibre is grown aud that
the people Of the South would become
hewers and drawers Of water for Great
Britain, Belgium, Germany and France.
Now doubtless, Senator Allison intends
that to be very pitiful. It Is piuful, but
&C Is pitlful because 80 is so intensely
ridiculous. IL Is within the knowledge
Of every intelligent man that the cotton
factories of the South, having improved
machinery and intelligent and efficient
labor, and being in the heart of the finest
cotton growing country ia the world
will be able TO compete, not only with
skilled labor anywhere In the world bu'
in the nature of the case, OF course, with
cheaper labor for at least century tC
come, IL not throughout all time.
