were prime factors in building upthe happy
and peaceful community in which he
spent so many happy and useful years.
He was man whom to know was to

CHASTITY SUICIDE
A CANTON MAN NEARLY SEWERS
HIS HEAD FROM HIS BODY.

One Of the most CHASTITY suicides in
many years occurred Friday morning in
the West End.
Maximillian Deppesch, Bavarian, 6S
years of age, cut his throat from ear to
ear with huge butcher knife, sharp as
razor.
When found by his son, Jacob, he was
gasping for breath but In few minutes
ceased his efforts to cling to life and ex-
pired.
Friday morning Mrs. Deppesoh went
several miles into huckleberry swamp
for berries leaving her husband alone in
the house at No. 2s6 Linden avenue, near
Westlawn cemetery
Deppesch has been out of work of late,
and has been despondent.
AS soon as bis wife left the house he
must have prepared to end his earthly ex-
istence. Securing large butcher knife,
the man, determined to suffer mental
anguish no longer, and filled with a de
sire to do way with himself, locked the
doors of the house, and went up to small
room on the second floor
The room contained two beds, and from
the position of the body when found, it
was evident that he stood between the
beds, and placing vessel, in which to
catch the blood, he grasped the keen
blade and with one tremendous slash, he
nearly severed his head from his body.
After falling to the floor, the man evil
IDENTIFY wanted air, and Instinctively he
dragged himself several feet through the
fast forming pool of bluou, towards an
open window.
Jacob Deppesch, son of the dead man,
arrived home at II 80 O'Clock, and found
the doors Of the house locked. Succeeding
in gaining an entrance, he went up stairs
and found his father, as stated. He gave
the alarm, and DR.. A. b. Walker was at
once sent for, but when he arrived, life
was extinct.
An examination showed that both
jugular veins and the larynx had been
completely severed.
The beds and floor were covered with
the mans life-blood. The spectacle was
horrible to behold.
Macmillan Deppesch came to this
ountry when boy. He served through
out the war, as member OF the 115th o.
V. L., under Captain Harter. He was
Christian man who never forgot to render
kind, assistance to the needy. He has
worried considerably of late, and his mind
was evidently affected by it. He leaves
wife and grown-up family of four
sons.
Coroner McQuate was notified of the
suicide, and at once viewed the remains.
The funeral arrangements will be an
nounoed later.

BLAZING OIL
SCATTERED OVER THE BED
WHERE A WOMAN LAY,
Severe Burns Sustained But the
Prompt Action of the Husband
Saves More Serious Burns-Fire
Quickly Extinguished.

A serious fire was narrowly averted
this morning at 115 O'Clock. A still
alarm called the Centrals and No. 8
Engine Companies TO the residence of
Martin Grabowsky, at No. 106 Hazlett
avenue.
Mrs. Grabowsky had been i'll for some
weeks and her husband had prepared hot
applications for her and was taking them
into the bedroom, when glass lamp,
which he carried In his hand, suddenly
exploded and scattered its burning con.
tents all over the bed and room. Gra-
bowsky seized his wife and dragged her
from the flames, which quickly spread to
all parts of the room. She escaped with
few burns about the legs. The alarm
was quickly given and No. SIS, whose
house is near, on Dueber avenue, quickly
responded and with the aid of Babcocks
and buoketsof water, the fire was extin-
guished. The furniture Is a complete loss,
and all the clothes belonging to Mrs
Grabowsky were consumed. The contents
of the housse are covered by insurance.

gold paper, the silver sentiment is sweep
ing that state from one end to the other.
The Herald says: "Portentious and
menaoing, political speoter has risen In
the rural counties OF this state, threaten
ing TO overshadow parties and obliterate
partisan lines from the Pennsylvania
boundary to the st. Lawrence and from
Lake Erie to the Hudson. The farmers
are worshiping the silver calf In many
Of the counties there is no actual organi-
zation Of the friends of free silver. An
organization and an active free silver
campaign would make many Of the
strongest Republican counties in the state
doubtful in November"
Col. John r. Fellows is one of the New
York Democrats who knows which way
the wind is blowing. Said he to New
York Journal reporter; There's no use
trying to head off this free silver move
ment. 1t will spread over New York
state itself, like some white simeon Of
finance. Seven up.oountry farmers out
Of ten are for free silver, 10 to 1. in New
York right now. This cry for free silver
amounts to revolution. I'm going to
Chicago and I'm going to fight for gold,
but 1t will be planting, and no fruit,
sowing and no harvest, save the harvest
of disappointment Free silver, 10 to /,
will carry New York. ="
Congressman Amos Cummings reports
his district, in the heart of the metropo-
lis, as "worm eaten with free silver.
Congressman Mcclellan talks in the
same way and Congressman Suffers dis
trict is described as "lost to.silver now. "
All of this shows that the cause of silver
is strong in New York and that the people
will be heard from if given chance to
vote for free coinage in November.
1t Is evident 1t only needs united effort
to sweep the country and restore the con-
stitutiop. Give us candidate that is
sound and true, in whom the people can
have confidence, and the result in No
vember will be glorious triumph.

This is What Adam Thorn Told the
Rhode Island Democratic
Delegation.

Adam Thom feels elated this morning.
He was down at the Fort Wayne depot
yesterday when the Rhode Island delega-

were lots of them, and he was one OF
them. The Rhode Island delegation then

Indigestion is often taken for consump.
ton. The word consumption means
wasting away, ard dyspeptios often waste
away as BADLY as oonsumptiyes
The reasonpeople waste away is because
either they don't get enough to eat, OF
they don't digest what they do'eat.
If the latter is your trouble, take Shaker
Digestive Cordial. This will help you to
digest your food and stop your loss Of flesh.
Shaker Digestive Cordial is made from
herbs, barks and the juices of fruit, by the
well known Shakers at Mount Lebanon.
IL possesses great tonic and digestive
powers.
Shaker Digestive Cordial has cured
many supposed oonsumptlyes (who were
really dyspeptics), by simply helping their
stomachs to digest their food, thus giving
them nourishment and new strength.
