SUICIDE OF EDISON KEITH.
Prominent Merchant of Chicago
Throws Himself Into the Lake.

CHICAGO, Sept. %. - Edison Keith. sfor
forty years of the prominent and in
fiuential citizens of Chicago. threw himself
into the lake at the foot of Thirteenth
street early yesterday morning while tenn
pcrarily insane, the result of chronic
dyspepsia and insomnia. He disappeared
from his home at No. 1906 Prairie avenue,
about o'clock yesterday morning, but no
Indication of his fate was discovered until
this morning. Although search was made
for the missing man all day yesterday, the
evidences OF Mr.. Keith's act We're not dis
covered by his family until to-day. But
so conclusive were they that all hope was
abandoned. and the lake is now being
dragged for the recovery of his remains
While the family and friends of the dead
merchant had recently grown apprehensive
regarding his physical condition, the dis
covery made this morning came with
paralyZing suddenness. In the light OF the
tragedy IL was then recalled that Mr.
Keith had for some days been peculiarly
depressed as TO suggest mental troubles
HIS recent condition recalled, and it
was found that there was no ground to
doubt but what temporary insanity had
followed his long months of sleepiessness
and aggravated dyspepsia, and that the VIC
tim had found relief In the nearby lake
Mr.. Keith is best known through the whole
sale millinery and notion firm of Edison
Keith a. Co., but he was aaso a member Of
Keith Bros, wholesale hats, and of Keith
& Co. elevator owners. He was sixtyr-three
years old.

my fellow-citizens, that 1t Will require a
Senate and House of Representatives 10
Having settled the question of the tariff.
there is one other question tnat Is aireauy
settled but that some people propose TO
unsettle. and that is the money quesuon
and we are opposed TO any such unsettlihg
as they favor. They propose to debase tne
currency of the country by free silver as
they have degraded the labor OF the coun-
try by free trade. We want in this coun-\
try dollars worth 100 cents each. dollars as
good as are found anywhere In any country
of the world dollars that are not only good
in New York. but also in London and in
Liverpool: that are not only good IN IN
diana, but are good IN ONO ana MI oIsce
of the world. That is the KIND or money
we have now; that is the KIND the Repup-
lcan party gave this country, for every
dollar we have to-day of every kind has
been given to you for the most part by Ke-
IS as good as gold everywhere in the world,
and we propose to keep it right there.
A GOVERNMENT Or LAW.
''Then there is another thing we propose
to do. We propose to settle 1t for all time
that this is a government of law and a
government by law and government OF
honor, that will not sell its honor and pub
lie faith for any price or consideration
There is another thing, my countrymen
from Indiana, that we propose to do. We
propose to stand by the honest judiciary of
the United States, that has more than
once been our Sneet dncnOT III lliilC VI
trouble - the tribunals that protect the
weak against the strong; that is uninfiu-
enced by avarice and unmoved by preJu-
dice.
I'VE propose, in a word, to stand by our
free institutions, grand and noble insttu-
tions they are, where every young man
has an equal chance in the race of life.
and spurn the suggestion that there are
classes in the United States. Every hon-
est man under our flag is as good as any
other honest man, and we propose to keep
him so. Every man has an equal opportu-
nifty under our laws to rise in this coun-
try with any other and | bid the young
men who stand around US never to per-
nit any barriers to be raised between one
class of citizens and another Keep the
gateway wide open; keep the door OF OPP
portunity swung wide open so that your
boy and his boy may have every opportunt-
ty that belongs to our free government and
its previous institutions.
And now, my fellow citizens, am done,
except to thank you for the courtesy and
oorCIiality of this call. l have been pleased
to receive the gracious message OF your
spokesman that Indiana will give Repuo-
iican majority of $4,000. l want you to re-
member that your statement is recorded,
and as l understand it, every one of you
has indorsed that statement. Therefore,
you will all be bound to make it good. And
if you will make it good, then the patriotic
people from one end of this country to the
other will rejoice | thank you, my fellow
citizens, and will be glad to shake each
one of you by the hand" (Great applause
and continued cheering)

WAR ON TOLL GATES.
kentucIxy's Turnpike Rebellion
Breaks Out in Anderson County.

LAWRENCEBURG, KY, Sept 22.-Be-
tween midnight end daylight this morning
over one-half of the twenty-four toll gates
in this (Anderson) county were destroyed
by regularly organized bands of lawless
advocates of free turnpikeS. AT the gates
which were destroyed the keepers were
warned that any attempt to collect any
more toll would be a warrant for hang
ing. The mob was organized in the south
western part of the county and divided up
in squads of twenty-five or thirty men
each in order to more completely accom-
plish the work of destruction. One body
rode through this town, but owing to the
moon being obscured by clouds no one was
recognized. The outrages are identical with
those that have been terrorizing the peo-
pie of Washington county, but there is no
excuse for the destruction. The Anderson
county authorities will take vigorous meas
ures. AT the last November election a
proposition for a tax to buy the turnpikes
was carried and the work of doing away
with the toll gates has been prosecuted
RAPIDLY. Anderson is one of the most
wealthy counties in the State and its peo-
pie are not of the kind that will submit to
such proceedings.

BRIEF ADDRESS TO NEW YORK

Dignified Words.

NEW YORK, Sept. 22.-Ex- President
Harrison was one of the speakers at to-
days MONDAY meeting of the Commercial
Travellers Sound money League. Colonel
Frederick Dent Grant, son of the late Pres
ident Grant, presided. General Harrison,
whose coming to the city was to take part
in the presentation yesterday of silver
service to the battle ship Indiana, said:
My Fellow-citizens and Members of the
Commercial Travellers Sound-money
League am glad 20 see that in this cam
paign, which involves the business inter-
aroused and are not here to represent any
selfish interests. From Maine to California
you are anxious that the farmer of the
West shall get good prices for his product
and are not, by false doctrines, trying to
mislead any one. 1t is a mischieVous, not
to say a dangerous. thing for any one to go
about the country attempting to divide the
American people into classes. New York
with all it's extensive business and all its
capital could not be prosperous unless the
and measures, and the same sentence of
the Constitution which fixes the value of
coins fixes the standard of weights and
measures. What, then, to common under
and firm amount of measure? Who would
cut down the length of yardstick or the
cubic contents of q bushe1? Even a Chi
cago crusader would not advocate the
shortening of the length of a yardstick or
the cubic contents of a bushel. The moral
sense of our people. their public and ma
tional honor makes that thing, in my Judg-
ment, absolutely impossible.
At the conclusion of his short speech
General Harrison was cheered over and
over again. Gen. Horace Porter followed

Hotel Keepers Are Not Anxious to Enter

From the Louisville Courier-Journal
You have no idea of how much a
suicide in a hotel hurts the patronage
of the house." said one OF Lousville's
hotel clerks. Il was clerking in a no

against a sea of troubles as Shakes

ing details, and the business Of the

ensuing six months | stayed at that
hotel five years afterward. and ! pledge
you my word that there was hardly
week in that time that some fellow
didn't come in and say after register
ing: Now, don't put me in the room
where that man killed himself | used
to watch closely after that. and when
a man would come in late at night
looking like he had more trouble than
he could carry. I managed TO get rid
of him on one prctcNt or another.
I've had some narrow escapes, too.
One night when / was standing the
long watch a dejeCted-lOOkng fellow
came in very late and asked for a
bed ] sized him up as a man whom il
would be risky TO entertain and ! told
him the house was full. He walked
over TO a rival hotel and got a room.
The next day they found him dead in
bed He had taken morphine
Another night a man entered the
hotel registered and asked 10 be as
signed to a room. He had been on a
protracted spree. Before going up L.
his room he called a beil-boy and said
he wanted TO send to "A drug store for
"A small dose Of morphine to quiet his
nerves. He said he was physician and
he wrote out a prescription and gave

morning the writer Of the prescription

the particular individual he was look
