SHOOTING OF MRS. CERT
Revolver Goes on Accidentally and In
hicts Fatal Wounds.

Shortly after O'Clock last evening
Mrs Cert, wife of George Cert, the bar
Der, shot herself through the left lung,
at her home, 317 North Lawrence ave-
nue.. The physicians have no hope OF
her recovery.
1t was at first reported that the shoot
fng was with suicidal intent, but that
is probably a mistake. 1t is said that
she herself has stated that it was purely
an accident and that is probably the
case, as there was no justihable reason
whatever for suicide. Her statement,
as given out, is that she was taking
some clothing out of a trunk and that
the 50 calibre revolver which was there
was pulled out with the clothing and
went off.
The bullet passed through her left
lung and lodged in the back under the
skin. When shot she rushed to the
back door and screamed, but being IN
able to arouse anybody In that direc-
ton she rushed out the front door when
she fell exhausted. Neighbors came to
her assistance and a physician was
soon afterwards summoned.

thunderous applause. All three speakers

WHAT MADE HIM CHANGE?
Ben Butterworth Ought to Read Over His
OwnsL Letters.

In March Congressman Benjamin But
terworth, who is now talking gold be-
cause his party tells him to, wrote lct-
ter to Senator Teller in which he starts
out with the following statement:
II thought until recently that posi-
sibly, if congress should proclaim to the
world our fixed determination to pay ev-
cry debt in gold or its equivalent, conf .
dence would be restored and our INDUS
tries lie qrckened, and the gloomy con-
ditions pass away. But I am satisfied
that those of US who INDUCED that hope
were in error"
He then discusses the question of deal
ing honestly with our creditors and says:
There is quite as little excuse for the
legalized deflaudlng Of the farmers and
other producers of our country as there
is reason for plucking the money chang,
ers of London. Neither act can he JUS
titled or tolerated. But the producers
have not tried to pluck the money chang
ers,but the capitalistic combines in Eng
land and other nations have not only en-
deavored, but, aided 10y allies in our own
country, have succeeded, by manipulate
ing the money of the world, in fleeing
every farmer and every other producer
of wealth in the United States = X
Naturally enough, the capitalistic COM
bines of our own country have been swift
to second the efforts of similar combines
abroad, and their interests are the same.
Hence they act in concert and pro-
claim that their course is wise and Just.
The answer is that it has resulted most
disastrously to the mass of our people,
and conditions are growing worse.
