the fiscal year is three hundred
dollars.
Sergeant Stevens, OF troop d,
Seventh cavalry, is about to leave
the service.
Chaplain Bateman writes long
article in Montana Illustrated on
"The soldier as 1 find him." He
turns himself loose in one place as
follows: "For myself, 1 resent the
prevalent implication that the po-
sition Of private in our army is
ignoble. 1t is high time this alb
surd prejudice found burial place
and was inferred beyond the hope
of resurrection" This is a new
wrinkle on the army question, for
after a service covering twelve
years we have failed to hear any
one make such an assertion as the
chaplain seems to think has been
made. This kind of COMPOUNDED
rot written by an officer is the
cause of more discomfort than any
thing we know Of. The chaplain
is beyond his depth.
Hopital Steward Savaiaje, who
was tried and acquitted at Fort
Reno, of the charge Of irregularity
in connection with sale of con-
demned hospital property, has been

SUICIDE OF A WOMAN.
MRS. FRANKIE TOOK MORPHINE AND
DIED THIS MORNING.
She Went Off on Her Bicycle Last
Evening and Promised to Re-
turn Shortly, But Failed.

az am going out for little ride
now, and will be back in a short
WHILE" said Mrs. FRANKIE yes
terday afternoon about $3.50
o'cl ock to her colored servant, Lii.
lie Clark.
She then got on her bicycle and
disappeared down the street.
But Mrs. FRANKIE did not return,
as she promised. She was brought
home in a hack about midnight,
accompanied by DR.. Berry. The
doctor had been summoned to the
Milan Square drugstore, corner Of
West Commerce and San Saba
streets, about IL o'clock last night
to attend a woman, who had swal-
lowed a large dose Of morphine.
On his arrival he found Mrs.
FRANKIE in a semi. unconscious con-
dition. He Immediately applied
an antidote and she began to
vomit quite freely. About mid
night he ordered that a hack be
sent for and she be taken to her
home at 149 North street. He then
sent for DR.. O'Malley, who arrived
about / D. m. DIR. Duke, the fami-
ly physician, was then summoned,
and arrived at three o'clock this
morning. These doctors used all
efforts to save her and worked on
her until 9 o'clock this morning,
without wink Of sleep when she
died.
When DIR. Berrey first saw her he
asked her what she had taken and
she told him morphine. When he
asked her where she bought 1t she
told him it was none Of his bust
ness. She said she bought twenty
five cents worth of morphine and
took it all, which was about twen-
ty-five grains.
She was the wife of Emil FRANKIE,
window-dresser for the Globe
clothing store, and was about %
years old. She was a fairly good
looking woman, and was seen
quite often on the streets on bi.
cycle. They were married about
two years ago, in Kansas City, and
her former name was Josie Davis.
They have lived in San Antonio
about a year, and formerly resided
on East Commerce street.
The doctors say she must have
taken the drug about eight o'clock
last night, and that owing to the
extraordinary large amount she
had taken, it was impossible to
save her; it was enough to kill
three men.
Mrs. FRANKIE was seen out riding
on her bicycle by Mr.. Aaron Frank
on Market street yesterday after
noon shortly after she left home.
She told him she had taken NOR
phine, but he did not believe it.
She acted restlessly and Mr..
Frank put up her wheel and drove
her around in buggy, as he be-
lieved it would do her good. Finally
she dozed off into a sleep. Mr..
Franks suspicious became
aroused and he drove her to
the Milan Square drugstore and
Immediately sent for DR.. Berry.
He also notified her husband, who
soon arrived. Some say that she
had a pistol with her, but none
was found.
Mrs. FRANKIE was also known as
Madame Corona, and at one time
followed the occupation Of fortune
teller, at Is South street.

SHORT STOPS.

What the People are Saying.
The people, with great unanimity
and with confiding trust, voted
for the 100000 bonds to pay of
judgments against the city, as well
as past due indebtedness.
1t was with the distinct under
standing that If this money was
voted the city would be on a cash
basis once more.
Mayor Elmendorf has set forth
plainly in his message to the coun-
Gil that a deficiency will stare the
city in the face before the year is
out, because the budget is based
upon a full collection of the taxes,
without allowance for failure to
collect.
The fact is, the city ran behind
the 100000 in just this way,-the
budget was too blythe city gov
eminent was too extravaganza fol
its income.
Now, in view of a certain deficit
in spite of the great exertions that
may be put forth by the city at.
torney, would it not be wise to sec
in advance how the deficit can be
met or avoided. This would be
only good business methods.
The simplest thing to do is to cut
down the budget before the trouble
comes. Cut off the expenses OF the
city until the budget is safe.
or course this is very unpopular
but an empty treasury and a hun
CRY set of city creditors will b
more unpopular.
