A DETERMINED SUICIDE.
Mrs. Elizabeth ]. Bond Kills Herself by
Taking Poison.

(from the Albany Herald. Sept. 30.)
The citizens CT Albany and Linn
county were terribly shocked yester-
day morning to hear that the aged
widow of Mr.. Nathan Bond, Mrs.
Elizabeth ]. Bond, had committed
suicide at the residence of her son,
Albert Bond, seven miles east of
Albany near Knox Butte. The par
ticulars as learned are that the aged
lady had been in the habit of going to
the woods near a neighbors for leaf
mold for her house plants, and there
fore her absence from the house YVES
not particularly noted by her daughter
-in-law until 1t had grown dark, when
the neighbors, heded by Mr.. 9. w,
Kuthe, whose residence is the closest,
the others taking part being Messrs
Joseph Wilson, John Bell and Mr..
Towner, proceeded with all haste to
make search, but it was / o'clock in
the morning before the body was
found. At about 10 o'clock Mr.. Albert
Bond returned from Albany, but was
in such state Of intoxication that he
was Incapable of realizing the serious
ness of the situation, and was put to
bed without being informed of the
absence of his mother.
When the body was found life was
extinct. Mrs. Bond was lying about
200 yards from the house in an oak
grove near leaning oak tree, under
which stood a bucket, having board
laid across it, Around her neck was
noosed one end of small sized rope, it
apparently having been her intention,
if the poison she had swallowed failed
in Its fatal work, to fasten the other
end of the rope to the leaning tree after
stepping upon the bucket, kick the
bucket to one side and thus hang her
self. But it was unnecessary, as the
poison had done its work effectually.
The poison used was supposed to be
arsenic contained in wheat prepared
to kill squirrels, some of which was in
the house, and it was found, too, that
a paper of arsenic kept IN the house,
had been opened. A few grains of
poisoned wheat were found on the
ground where she lay, and also phial
containing some liquid.
A messenger was sent to Albany
and telegram dispatched to Coroner
G. F. Wright, at Harrisburg, catching
him in time to take the overland train
for this city, where he procured team
and went to the scene of the tragedy.
DR. M. Fl. Ellis was also called, and
word sent to the two daughter of the
deceased, Mrs. Lewis Cox, of Waits
burg, and Mrs. DR.. John Reed, of Leb-
anon.
A Jury was empanneled consisting of
Mart Miller, foreman, Frank Trites,
J. R. Carlisle, Smith Cox, Lewis
Zullsdort and Ed Chambers, and
thorough investigation was made.
The verdict of the jury, after hearing
the evidence, was that the deceased,
Mrs. Elizabeth Bond, came to her
death from poison administered by
her own hand with suicidal intent.

USING 1T ON THE SLY.
Burton Workers We're PeddIing
the "SiIyer Knight" Letter
Secretly Among Delegates as
Ingalls, Authentic Utterance.
Its Publication in the State Journal
and the Denial oft by Senator
Ingalls, Stops Their Schemes.

Developments from the publication of
the letter predicting McKinley's defeat.
enormously credited to ex-senator IN
gals by the Silver Knight show that
the publicity given to it by its publ
cation in this paper will in a round
about way prove to have been of great
advantage to Mr.. Ingalls, cause.
There is no doubt that J. R. Burton's
friends were secretly using the article
as published in the Silver Knight to
influence sentiment among Republicans
against ingalls,, and gain delegates in
doubtful counties.
But Mr.. ingalls, public and absolute
denial of the authorship of the inter
view and the evident mistake of the
Silver knight in crediting it to him
have destroyed the effect which Bur
TONS workers were trying to produce
with the article.
Just as soon as copies of the Silver
Knight of June 25, containing the let
ter purporting to have been written by
ingalls, reached Kansas some of Bur
tons workers got hold of it and began
to make use of it. But they kept ex-
ceedingIy quiet about it and care
fully avoided giving it publicly.
Their plan was to have copies
public. Their plan was to have copies
of the Silver Knight containing the let
ter in their pockets and while visiting
around among local politicians draw
it out and show the article and ask
how they liked these for sentiments
coming from a man who was asking the
Republicans to elect him to the United
States senate
This was the way the Burton men
were working and expected to work
the article in secret over the state.
But when asked publicly about the
article Burton and his men would say,
I don't believe he ever wrote it. There
must be some mistake. Surely he
couldn't have said it" This was part
of their bluff
To show that the Burton men were
using and intended to make capital of
the letter it may be cited that Frank
Grimes of Wichita county, one of Bur
TONS hardest workers brought a copy
of the Silver Knight to Topeka with
him this week to show to Burton in
case he hadn't seen it. But Mr.. Burton
probably had, for it was said at the
state house that the letter had already
been used in the campaign in Butler
county.
J. L. Bristow said that he knew the
Silver Knight letter had been used in
the campaign in Butler county.
The airing of the whole matter and
the discovery of the mistake of attri-
buting the letter to ingalls, have there
fore resulted in robbing the Burton
men of a weapon which they were pre-
pairing to make vigorous and vicious
use of. Mr.. ingalls, denial will compel
them to quit making attacks in the
dark which they feared to make pub
licly.

HANNA FOR SENATOR.
It is Said the Boss Wants to Succeed
John Sherman.

Canton, July 4-For many months
the people of Ohio and the country at
large who have watched with interest
the devotion and persistence of Mr..
NJ. A. Hanna's interest in promoting
the presidential aspirations of ex-
Governor William Mckinley, have been
wondering what the future had in
store for that distinguished and disin-
tereSted gentleman himself. Mr.. Han
ma has continually stated that he de-
sired no gift at the hand of the in
coming administration of his friend
and candidate, and this statement is
still believed to be quite within the
boundary line of truth.
But Mr.. Hanna is not going to re-
tire from the pinnacle on which his
efforts in favor of Governor Mckinley
has placed him. For a long time Mr.
Hanna has been drifting toward the
political vortex, and the prestige he
has achieved during the past months
and that which he hopes to accumulate
should Governor McKinley's cause
succeed at the polls are to be used to
boom Mr. Hanna for the seat Occu-
pied in the United States senate by
your Uncle John Sherman of Mans
field. The announcement of Mr. Han
mas candidacy at this early date is
not without its significance, however.
and its authority can in no way be
dObuted.

NEW CIRCUS GROUNDS.

Kansas City, July 1T is likely that

After the advent of the railroad cir
Gus with it's acres of canvas the va

circus that has visited Kansas City
within the last ten years has pitched its
tents there.
When the Woodland avenue lot be
