Attempt at Suicide.
1t Might Have Been Prevented
from the Boston Post. ]

While the walks in the Public Garden
were crowded yesterday afternoon about
4.30 o'clock. people near the entrance gates
at the corner of Beacon and Charles streets
were Mortified to see man suddenly plunge
a knife repeatedly into his throat and fall to
the ground.
While waiting for conveyance an officer
questioned the would-be suicide, who was
about 80 years of age, as to his name, address,
and reason for wishing to end his life, but
the man steadfastly refused to give any infor-
nation regarding himself. He was taken to
the Massachusetts General Hospital and
surgical attendance given him. Although
weak from loss of blood it is probable he
will recover. About 9 o'clock last night a
hospital attendant got little information
from him. He said his name was Samuel
D., and that he came some weeks ago
from New Brunswick. The last few days
his head has felt queer, and he has been wan
dering about the city, not knowing which way
to turn. What impelled him to commit his
rash act he was unable to say.
The above is the familiar but terrible
story of the results ofmental arrangement
caused by overstrain of the nervous system.
People who have dizziness, headache or back
ache, or who are troubled with melancholy or
respondent feelings, are already well on the
road which leads to insanity and suicide.

to calm my exhausted and irritable brain"

The Eera1d-

THE KoorENAI HERALD is weekly newspa-
per, devoted to the interests of the Kootenai
country in general, and TO the financial welfare
of its proprietor in particular in politics 1t Will
be strictly independent, but not necessarily neu-
trail. 1t entertains the theory that while the
leaders of the democratic and republican parties
are honest and patriotic, their financial policy
lin which there is no difference between the two
parties) is detrimental to the interests of the
West and South and for that reason the forma-
ton of Il new party, having for its principal OBJ
ject the restoration of SILVER to its proper sphere
Is a contamination devoutely TO be wished. AS
a business proposition the paper Will be conduc-
ted OH the principal that one mans money is
Just as good as another's, and it will assist any
business man in bringing him and his goods and
wares to the favorable notice of the public in
proportion as he sees fit to pay for such adver-
Using. The HERALD will reflect malice toward
no man, whatever may be the personal feeling
of its editor; neither will IL be hack to convey
the petty quarres of others to the public, but IL
will be the aim to make ii social, commercial
and political tribune In which every one will re-
ceive censure or applause as they shall merit.
Tell the miners for me that l shall promote
their interests to the utmost of my ability, be-
cause their prosperity is the prosperity of the
nation and we shall prove in very few years
that we are indeed the treasury of the world

THE OPEN SWITCH.
AN EsTxBLIsHED SAFEGUARD.

AN ESTABLISdED S4FEG UA6O.
Anybody who travels by cars knows what
is meant by San open switch" 1t is the
terror of railroad men, and the dread of the
traveller. Its victims-killed, horribly man
gled or MANNED for life-are numbered by
the score each year.
Yet even the dreaded "open switch is not
so widely fatal as is a certain disease, which,
without ceasing its activity for an instant, is
daily filling hundreds of graves.
What is that terrible ailment? you ask.
1t is Heart Diseased But" you reply, con-
fidently, ~ haven't any heart disease-my
heart is all right" Are you SURE?
DIR. Franklin Miles, of Elkhart, Ind, the
distinguished specialist in diseases of the
heart and nervous system, states that disor-
ders of the heart are as common as those of
the lungs, liver, stomach, bowels or kidneys,
though often unsupported. The reason peo-
pie are not aware of this important fact is
because symptoms of heart disease are not
usually recognized as proceeding from this
organ, but are attributed to some other
source. If you have shortness of breath,
fiuttering or palpitation, pain or tenderness
in left breast, shoulder or side, oppressed or
choking sensation, fainting or smothering
spells, your heart IS affected.

Dubois for Vice President

We take the following from |
The Times, of Washington, D.
c., and we are sure that it will be
noted with interest and with warm
appreciation by all the HERALD
readers:
United States Senator Fred T.
Dubois is Vice Presidential posi-
bility. What was said in whisper
in the cloak rooms of the senate in
the closing day Of the last congress
is now openly talked of in the the
streets of Washington. Before the
adjournment of the Fifty third con-
gress there were many quiet con-
situations between leading Repub-
]ican Senators and members, in
which the political situation was
thoroughly canvassed.
Harrison, Reed, Mckinley, ALI
son, all had champions at these
conferences, but somehow or other
no one seemed to think of vice
presidential candidate until the
last meeting but one. Then
ANEW ENGLAND SENATOR
Sprung the name of Senator Du-
bois, and there was practical unani-
nifty that he was the strongest man
who could be named for the place.
In presenting the name of Dubois,
the New Highlander, it is said,
made speech that was matcbless
in eloquence. He took the ground
that the Republican party in 1896,
in order to be successful, would
have to make concessions to the
great west and south, either in the
platform in favor of silver or in
the candidate. Dubois, he said,
on account of his magnificent sill
yer record, could be depended on
TO HOLD THE WEST INTACT
If he was put on the ticket with
either one of the prominent candi.
dates.
Another strong point brought
out in favor Of Dubois was that he
was young man, and he would at
tract votes on that account.
1t was maintained that with the
Idaho senator as the candidate fol
vice president, the younger ele
ment of the Republican party
would organize from one end of the
country to the other, and put W
such a campaign as has ever been
seen in this country. 1t is not Of
ten that either party recognizes the
young men when making up {
presidential ticket.
IT is A RARE THING
That a man under 80 years of ag,
is ever nominated for either presi
dent or vice president. Senator
Dubois is only 43, and looks young
er. He is in the full vigor of hi
manhood.
No man in the country has dom
more for silver than Fred T Dubois

The Lesson Of II

From Harper's Weekly.
The lesson OF the elections OF the last
twenty I've years, and especially Of those
Of the last ten years, is that the voters
have strong preference for men Of
character, and for men who will firmly
resist the demands Of self-seeking
politicians. The politicians have come
TO recognize the fact that tho people
believe Ia civil service reform IL Is for
this reason that the present law WAS
passed, and FOR this reason, TOO, that 1t
has not bsen repealed Another lesson
Is that the people Of the whole country
are not IN favor OF the interference
Of the Federal Government In
state and local elections. They
are for honest money. They are
opposed TO such high protective customs
duties as were imposed by the Mckinley
act. and they evidently believe that
changes IN the tariff should be for the
purpose Of relieving commerce Of its
sbsckles. They are against the partner
ship OF the government Ia private
enterprises, and, while they have no
sympathy with the P0pulisiic idea Of
government ownership, they are hostile
TO the equally oommunistic theory that
the government should engage with
capitalists for the promotion OF private
interests, FOR the manipulation OF the
money market, for eprichiug private
citizsns with money taken from the

NV. Rooaevelt'a MISTAKEN Utterauce.

nv. Roosevelt's Mistaken Utternnce.
Some Of the recent public utterances
Of Theodore Roosevelt have met with
pretty severe criticism, because be has
declared himself to be a Republican.
Perhaps this was unnecessary, and it
might have been wiser for New York's
chief polics commissioner TO have held
his peace just at this time. He is not
employed by either Democrats or Re
publicans, the party which placed him
IN his present position consisting Of
both, with fair sprinkling Of men Of
all political views, and Of none. II
makes no difference what Mr. Rooaevelt's
political views are as long as be does his
duty fearlessly.
This being the case, it seems 60 us Mr.
Roosevelt has not shown his usual Wis
dom In touching on politics He has q
right to be a Republican, but his views
on the tariff and such questions have
nothing to do with the reiorns that he is
engaged ia carrying ont. He has always
been a Republican, we believe, and We
wish there were a few more men like him
in his psrty-hs is Rspublican-bui
above ara beyond eli that be Is an homes,
man. He has held office by Democratic
appointment and under a Democratic
administration ard performed his duties
with = zeal that has met the approval ci
al good people He has also served
under Republican auepices with like
result These facts show that he B,
capable Of doing right, regardless ol
political surroundings and such men AT,
what are wanted.
Party interests should control nc
public officer. to the disadvantage cl
the people as whole. after he has once
taken the oath OF office ard entered upor
his duties, He has 10 right 20 consider
party and II be is an honorable man b,
will not do SO, either in the appointment
OF bic subordinates. or otherwise Th,
whole people have right to the bes
service that can be obtained and tL,
question, as to which way man votes
has nothing 10 do with his ability or hi
honesty IL the performance Of bis publi
duties
II IS because Mr. Roosevelt has ex
emplifed this view Of the public servio
that We regret that he should take pains
just Gu the eve Of political contest, 9
mako known IA fact well understoo
bsfors) that he is q Republican. It va
weak thing FOR him to do. It ha
already raised a suspicion that MI
Roosevelt wants TO obtain an electiv
oihcs-that he asplres even to tn
presidency We do not for a momen
believe this. but certainly the head q
this model reformer has got twist tha
raises the suspicion that he has "a bee
II his hat
Undoubtsdly Mr.. Roosevelt has
perfect rigat TO be . Republican and
