Springfield, NO, Travelling man Takes
His Llfe-Rea4On Assigned
KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Aug. Sc. Ar
gyle Campbell, a travelling man from
Springfield, Mo-, killed himself in
room at the Wisconsin Club, on
Seventh street, yesterday by cutting
his throat in two places and severing
the radial arteries in each wrist with
a small penknife. He also gashed the
calves of his legs with the knife, and
pressed the blade hard against the in
step of each foot, leaving wound of
several inches in length. Either of
the wounds in Campbell's throat or
wrists would have been fatal, but in
order to make his work of self-de.
stru ction doubly sure, he emptied the
contents Of two cartridges from re-
volver at his head, but neither took
effect. Dependency over financial
and domestic matters was the cause.

DUN'S TRADE REVIEW.
THE MONEY MARKET DIS
TURBED BY FAILURES.
Cooperation Of Chicago Banks Alone
Saved = PanIC-RaIlroad and Trust
Stocks LOwer-PublIc Confidence Is
Considerably Shocked

NEW YORK, Aug s.--R. g. Dun Sc
Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade says:
1.-THE sensational collapse OF specu-
lators at Chicago who controlled Dia-
mond Match and New York Biscuit
stocks and had hoisted them to fancy
prices, with the subsequent closing of
the Chicago Stock Exchange for
period indefinite, though followed by
remarkably few failures, brings a
sudden change in monetary condi-
tions throughout the country. At
least month earlier than had been
expected Chicago has drawn heavily
upon Illinois bank balances here, and
Withdrawals of other Western funds
may naturally result Europe was
also moved to sell American stocks
rather freely, so that the average of
sixty most active railroad stocks fell
about 81. S per share, and the average
Of trust stocks about SL.so. The in.
slant cooperation of money interests
at Chicago to restrict disturbances de-
served praise and did much good, but
1t is not possible to avoid some shock
to public confidence, and quick
Tightening OF Eastern money markets
which already shuts off commercial
paper almost entirely. The collapse
also increased the caution of bankers
and other leaders regard g loans in
securities of q similar character,

Religious Enthusiasm So BoundIesa

JACKSONVILLE, O., Aug. 8. - New
Pittsburg, a mining camp few miles

ious excitement bordering on fanati'
cism. The leaders claim to be In per-
soual communication with the Lord
and act under instructions from him.
Excitement is so high that families
are being broken up and numerous
fights have occurred over the matter.
The people have tried to get rid Of
the fanatics, but failed. Warrants
were sworn out yesterday for the arrest
of the leaders, Mart Searles and his
two brothers, and when arraigned be.
fore the justice they were furious and
denounced the court in most bitter
terms, insulting the justice in the
highest manner, even climbing upon
the desk and splitting upon him. The
trio were finally placed in Jail and
Mart was taken to the Athens asylum.
The others will surely follow. Their
followers number about $50, some of
whom have given as high as $3.50 each
upon being converted. The more con.
sentative people predict that the
trouble will end in bloodshed.

The rravolor'' Right to Fresh Ala

~ AIN
A wise justice in Lyons, WaynS
county, has decided that railway In
this state is bound to carry fresh air
free, as well as bicycles. A woman
travelling on a train complained that
the air was bad. The conductor tried
to open the window in the usual way,
but was unable to do so, and refused
to get crowbar to pry 1t open, where
upon the suffering woman smashed the
glass with her parasol. The conductor
then had her taken into custody on a
charge Of insanity. A doctor exam
ined her and pronounced her rational.
Her defense was that she had paid for
her transportation and was entitled to
fresh air with 1t. The justice thought
so too. and discharged her. II is pos
sible that this precedent may cause all
the railway companies considerable
trouble. II 1t be good law that when
car windows are not in working order
the passenger may smash the glass, bet
ter care will be taken to see that all
the windows in the car can be readily
