SUICIDE OF .AssAYER R. II. nLEvrN
Took Morphine, Leaving a Letter Saying
lie Was Tired of Life.

Loomston, Wash, April 14.-Profes-
sor r. II. Blevln was found dead in his
bed this morning, evidently having been
dead several hours. He left letter say
ing that he was tired of life and went
by the morphine route. He left his ef-
fects to several personal freiends and
the balance to the devil.
Blevin was a well-known assayer and
chemist, formerly in the employ Of the
Black Bear company. He had recently
perfected a process Of treating ores by
chemicals that was marvellous and
would have undoubtedly caused a revo-

THE INCREASE IN PRICES OF BEEF
An Agricultural Department official As.
signs Different Causes

An Agricultural Department official As
signs Different Causes
Washington, April 15.--An official of the
AGRICULTURAL department, discussing the
recent increase in the prices of cattle,
which is said to be the primary cause
for the increase in the price of beef in tho
country, says that il may be occasioned by
the decreased corn crop of the past few
years The falling of of the corn crop
in the opinion of the official may have
had more to do with the rise than any
thing else Lack of principal food for cat
tie may have induced stock raisers to put
upon the market more cattle than former
ly. Another reason for the decrease in
the number of cattle is given in the fenc-
ing in and the closing UP OF many OF the
stock ranges and ranches. The settlement
of western states by small farmers has
made stock raising in great herds less
profitable, and II is said that the increase
In cattle has not nearly kept pace with
the increase IN the population of the
country. When the price of cattle was
very low and the market was crowded, Il
is supposed that the stock men sold. not
only the steers, but large numbers of fe-
males which would tend to check the
increase in the following years. The COM
petition in cattle from Argentine and Au-
stralia has been something of a drawback
to cattle men in this country. In both
countries cattle can be raised much more
cheaply than in the United States. The
great plains of these countries have not
been invaded by settlers. The cattle may
roam at will, as they did for % years in
the western part of this country. Labor
cuts a small figure, but that which is ne
cessary is much cheaper in both Argentine
and Australia than in the United States.

Cromwell, June 9.-The marriage OF
DR.. p. r. Baldwin, one of the most
popular and successful physicians ever
located In Cromwell, to Miss Mary
Ives of Cheshire on Saturday last was
largely attended by people from this
vicinity. About three years ago DR..
Baldwin gave up good practice here
on account of failing health and went
into northern New York, believing that
the air of the Adirondacl1s would prove
beneficial to his weak lungs. His en-
gagement to Miss Ives was broken at
that time as the doctor considered his
recovery very doubtful. His condition
has, however, steadily improved and
his marriage is the cause of sincere
congratulatiOn.
