TUESDAY. NAY z, 1895.


Yesterdays distressing tragedy In
Butte filled thousands of hearts with
sadness. 1t ic unspeakably deplorable.
The confidence of the public in the Of
ficial integrity Of City Treasurer ia
cobs had been complete; instantly on
the announcement of his death suspic-
ion was awakened. but in every mans
breast was the hope that some other
cause than defalcation might be dis
covered to account for the terrible
crime of self-murder. It must be con-
fessed that the latest information gives
to his Official conduct the startling
proportions of a great crime.
Butte has had its share of unhappy
experience with men who have held
positions Of trust there. In too many
instances. as we now believe, the local
newspapers have generously sheltered
these offenders; they stole the peoples
money and they ought to have been
held by the press to public account
ing for their dishonest acts in the pub
lie service. Some of them lived lives
that afforded ample ground for suspic-
ion-the pace in Butte was too fast
for them. 1t Ia idle now to open the
case against some of these men; in
fierce even than death itself has swift
ly overtaken them.
But Simon Jacobs seemed to merit
the confidence which. through success
i've terms OF Office. the people OF Butte
reposed in him. He was a young man
of orderly life. If he was the victim
of any vicious habit that FASTENED his
downfall. his townsmen had no suspic-
ion OF IL. He was diligent In business:
apparently his habits were exemplary.
He became the dependent OF a Wild
owed mother and the only stay of a
fatherless family. and the unselfish-
ness with which he discharged the
filial obligation thus imposed upon him
had often been the theme of pleasant
comment in Butte. 1t never occurred
to those whose money he handled to
distrust him.
Avenging conscience pursued this I'M
fortunate young man. He knew that
he had been completely trusted. his
pride permitted him TO atone for his
offending in the only way that seems
10 oner an avenue OF escape TOT ues-
pairing transgressors. Authority in
Butte was about to pass to other
hands; he had reached the eleventh
hour, exposure was bound to come.
The remark was made frequently after
the announcement OF his death that
he had plenty of friends in Butte who
would have lent a helping hand I'm
efforts to smooth his way out of trou-
BILE. However that may be, Mr.. Ja-
cobs evidently lacked the courage TO
face the situation; his crazed brain
brought him to the fatal conclusion
that the worst thing was the best
thing for him TO do. This mornings
news tells the story of yesterdays
shocking discovery in the abandoned
shaft house. 1t is a startling climax.
The heart of a great community is
shocked. The unfortunate lapse OF one
in whom confidence had seemed to be
so worthily reposed is n distressing
thing to pass into the annals of Butte.
Every man who knew Simon Jacobs
will cherish the idle wish that IL had
not happened-the memory Of his
many excellent traits will linger.
There win be sincere sorrow over the
dead; the lesson for the living is pain
fully impressive.

To You
The Most Important

Matter demanding attention at this
season is the condition of your blood.
< Your health depends upon it, for as
the quality and quantity of the blood
vary, you are better or worse.
The blood conveys all the elements
which go to make up the organs, nerves
and tissues Of the body, and carries
away all dissolved, useless material.
Every bone, muscle nerve and tissue,
lives upon what the blood feeds to it.
The whole world knows that Hoods

for making pure blood.

and by which it effects marvellous
cures even when other preparations
fail. When you buy your spring medi-
