Fostoria.

FosroRIA, O., Feb. 22.-The city was
thrown into 8 fever of excitement at
noon to-day by the announcement that
Hon. Michael d. Harter had committed

hours. The fatal shot was fired from q
revolver, the bullet entering she right
temple, penetrating tho brsiu. Hs was
found lying on the bed with the re-
volver clutohed in his left hand.
No cause is assigned for the act
further than he has been suffering with
tnsomonia for some time past and that
his mind gave away. On the bureau In
his room was found q sealed letter ad-
dressed to his wife In Philadelphia and
on the outside of the room was found .
package Of letters addressed to business
associates, but none have been opened
as yet.
Yesterday afternoon no complained
OF having q severe pain in his head, but
later In the evening he attended church
supper and seemed to have had an en-
joysble time. Returning home he re-
tired at the usual hour and nothing oc-
CURED to exotic the least suspicion.
The members Of the Knapp family
thought they heard Mr.. Hsrter moving
about in his roous about S O'Clock this
morning. but heard no report of the re-.
volver.
Mr.. Harter has been in the city for
several days past on business connected
with the Isaao Hsrser Milling Company.
Bis son Herbert, who resides in this
city, is now visiting with his mother in
Philadelphia. Mr.. Hsrter ia largely
interested in number of industries,
and represented the Fourteenth Ohio
district in Congress, but for the past
three years he has been residing in

MIR. BRYAN CONFIDENT.

W. ]. Bryan, the great silver
candidate for president, is con-
fdent of being elected. He has
given out the following signed
statement concerning his re-elec-
ton:
IL have no doubt Of my cleo
ton. / base my confidence upon
the fact that the free coinage SEN
timent is growing every day. The
people are studying the money
question, and the study Of it is
convincing the people generally
that there can be no permanent
prosperity so long as the gold
standard is maintained.
"The gold standard makes a
dearer dollar. A dearer dollar
means falling prices, and falling
price means hard times. The
people who profit by hard times
are relatively so few in number
that they would amount to moth
lug at all but for the fact the.
they are aided by a considerable
number of people who, not hav-
ing studied the money question
themselves, have received instruc'
tons from a few fipanciers. The
number Of Republicans who have
declared for free silver outnumber'
the Democrats who have deserted
, the ticket, and while the number
of silver Republicans is increas
ing all the time, the number o
boiling Democrats is all the tint
decreasing.
"While | have no doubt as T.
!, my election, | believe that the I'D
, vocates of free coinage SHOULD

Talk between Ants.

1t is becoming the general be-
lief among naturalists that all
living creatures have some CON-
munication with each other, at
least to the extent ofmaking their
wants, Tears, &C., known to others
of their species. A writer on ants
rs Gently investigated the matter
as far as these interesting little In
sects are concerned. He saw a
drove of ants of a small, black
variety which were apparently
moving to new quarters, those 60
ing in certain direction all car
| rying eggs or sick aud helpless
relatives, while those moving in
the opposite direction appeared to
have just deposited their burdens
and to be just returning for
another load of "household eff
fects."
ll,ey were probably pretty vel
along with their work, judging
by the leisurely way in which
they would frequently put theii
leads together as though chat
tering about their new quarters o
} some other interesting subject. ]
2 being a question in the natural
= lists mind whether they were real
d ~ talking or not, he hit on th
T. expedient of numbering one 9
their number to see if the other
% would run and tell what had haE
u pened. He says: "The eye-wi

THE SILVER TRUST NONSENSE.

The New York World, the gold
bug organ, has raised a great
howl about discovering a silver
mine trust. ~ The World is max
ing a desperate fight for a cause
it now knows is hopeless. Like a
drowning man, it is grabbing at
everything in sight and some
things thai has never existed. |
In speaking of the ''halla-ba-
loo" raised by the World over its
"new discovery" the Washington
Post of last Wednesday said:
I'VE have more than once al
ready pointed out the stupidity Of
the New York Worlds cackle
over the alleged "silver trust"
and its wicked and nefarious de-
signs upon the United States
Treasury. II seems fair to as
