Tried TO Commit Suicide by Shooting
While in school.

Rand Trudo, aged II, son of Allen
Trudo of Sheldon, attempted to COM
nit suicide by shooting himself in
the schoolroom last Wednesday MORN
ing. While he succeeded in iniict-
ing a dangerous wound, there is yet
hope that he may live.
The day before Trudo made a
little sensation in the school by throw
ing a cartridge into the stove. The
teacher, Miss Lillian Soule, of Fair
field, reprimanded him and the boy
sulked saying he would not go to
school any more, etc. That morning
he borrowed a revolver, saying that
he was going hunting, but at the usual
hour was at his desk in the school
room.
A few moments after school began
the report of a pistol was heard in the
room and a little puff Of smoke was
seen to wreathe over Rand Trndo's
desk, while the boy himself had his
head down on his desk. DIR. Flan-
ders of Burlington, who happened TO
be in town, and DIR. Start were called
and probed for the bullet, which they
had passed through his liver
and lodged in his back. The bullet
was taken out and his condition is
said 10 be hopeful.

Similar companies are very success

Connecticut, New Jersey, Ohio and
other states, and protect property at
very low rates. The Patrons Mutual,

grangers and issue no policies until
$500, 900 of risks are applied for. a
large amount has already been

A Surgical wonder.

A case that shows the beneficial re-
suits of modern surgery is that of
John Connolly of Bennington. He
was confined to the bed for over six
months, unable to move owing
to extensive bone disease. About
four weeks ago he was brought to the
Fanny Allen hospital and underwent
an operation at which time large
pieces of dead bone were removed
from the skull, right leg, left arm,
right elbow joint and a large portion
Of the breast bone, some of the pieces
being three or four inches long. Since
the operation he has improved rapidly
and is now up and about the hospital,
able to go out Of doors and in a short
time he will be in a condition TO re-
sumo his work. The operation was
performed by DIR. W. G.. Z. Flanders

. minister's checkered Career.

Early in the fall Rev. T. Arthur
Whitaker went to Burlington to rep
resent the Christian Alliance and to
act as its state superintendent. He
Immediately organized the Gospel
Tabernacle church and commenced to
borrow freely, which caused suspicion
and an investigation by Capt. Geo. f.
Davis. From this investigation we
gather the following:
Rev. Thomas Arthur Whitaker
was ordained minister in the Baptist
church at Waltham, Mass, June, 1887,
and soon after went TO Santa Clara,
Cal where he remained two years.
During this time he was expelled from
his home church for non-supporting
his wife and for insulting letters to
church officers.
Mr.. Whitaker then went into the
real estate business at Seattle, Wash,
and claimed To have made Sc, 600 in
"A year and a half and lost it in the
burst of the ''bOom."
After this he went to San Francisco
and organized the "Whittaker Amer
lean Medicine and Extract Co." with
a capital stock of 500, 900 and him
self as president and manager. lie
obtained 81, 700 from members of his
church in Santa Clara, Cal, and went
East to float his stock out never re-
turned.
Next he organized the "American
Gospel Publishing society,"" with a
$4,000 paid-up capital. lie was also
president and general superintendent
of il. He started a monthly, the 'Gos-
pei Publisher" Of which only II
number was issued. 1t contained a
wood cut Of himself and schemes for
city missions, home missions, foreign
missions and philanthropic enterprise
that were simply overwhelming.
August 4th, 1893, a Boston paper
exposed his frauds and methods.
Driven from Boston he went to New
Hampshire to do evangelistic work
and after a short time received an APP
pointment from the American Bap-
tist Home Missionary society TO labor
in the town of Newkirk, Oklahoma.
Here he formed a church of five or six
members and commenced TO raise
money by means of letters calling on
Eastern missionary circles TO assist in
building a church for a poor society,
and 81, 300 were raised by this scheme.
With this money he bought the neces-
sary furnishings for a church and
built a church costing $500, but mort.
gagged it all, which went back on the
mortgage, altho' il he had used the
money il would have paid for every
thing.
Last February he came back East
and made Burlington his base Of OPP
erations with his appointment as first
stated. Instead OF going about the
state as was expected he settled in
Burlington and organized the Gospel
Tabernacle church at 43 Church ST.,
with nine members. 1t was to be an
evangelistic undenominational church
and held meetings Sunday forenoons
and evenings and also Tuesday and
Thursday evenings.

PETRIFIED GIRL.

Wabash, Ind. March IA story comes
from the Northern part OF Huntington
county of the pctrifcation of the body
OF a young girl in country cemetery
in that locality. In 1871 young woman
named Savilla diea of typhoid-pneumonia
and WAS buried In the country graveyard
near her home. The cemetery was not
regularly plated. and after the lapse OF
twenty odd years work was begun to
straighten the rows OF graves. In doing
so II wss necessary to exhume the re-
mains OF Miss Savitia. The earth was
removed and the coffin was found crum-
bled to fragments, but the form OF the
occupant apparently had not been
changed by the lapse Of years. An ef-
fort was made TO lift IL. but II refused
10 yield. and 1t was thought that 1t had
become attached In some manner TO the
ground beneath. II was only after the
men had tugged at the body for some
time that they found thar they were en-
deavoring to lift a block OF solid stone.
In life the young girl had luxuriant
growth OF hair. and when the body was
taken up part of the hair was petritied,
while the remainder was IN its natural
state. The body was redeposited and

The committee finished its report today
and presented Il to the council. The re-
port which Is about 1000 worts in length,
win not be made public until after II has
been submitted to the Congregational
church. which viii probably be tomorrow
night 1t Is believed the report viii ex-
onerate Brown on the charge of tmmor-
ality. but will find him guilty Of unmin-
isterial conduct. Upon the precise word
ing Of the report under unministerial con-
duct, the specifications will depend on
Or. Browns friends.
The council may or may not Ex the
punishment, but. even II no penalty Is
mentioned, severe condemnation by the
council would result In Browns loss Of
his church.
Should this occur the pastors friends
declare they win form 4 new church for
him in this city. Each member of the
council has taken a solemn pledge Of
secrecy. and the report will not be made
public until II is presented 10 the con-
gregation OF the First Congregational
church tomorrow evening.
The closing paragraph is to the effect
that although no evidence has clearly
convicted Brown OF any single act of
immortality. yet the testimony has been
such as to throw grave doubts upon the
mans moral character
Even those most prejudicial against
Brown admit that with this paragraph
added. the verdict is all that the testi-
mony justified.
