TRIED TO KILL HIMSELF.
Henry May Uses Knife on His
Throat Unsuccessfully.


Throat UnsuccessfuIIy.
Mental trouble and business reverses
led Henry May a butcher residing at
NO. III Richmond street, to attempt
to end his life at an early hour yester-
day morning, May cut an ugly cash in
his throat with large butcher knife,
and was found in pool Of blood in a
wcodshed adjoining the house by his
wife. Drs. Ritche and Heath, of the
city hospital staff were summoned and
after an examination of the wound,
assured the members of the family that
May was not dangerously hurt and
would undoubtedly recover.
May is the proprietor of a butcher
shop at Western avenue and West
Seventh streets, but for the past year
his business has been very poor. In
addition to the worry incident to this
state Of affairs, May has suffered mem
tally through a wound he received two
years ago at the hands of August
Buschenreider, who assaulted him with
cleaver and cut several deep gashes
In his head. Mrs. May says her hus-
band has not been the same man since
the assault, and has since acted
strangely at times, though never men
tioning in her presence that he intend
ed taking his life.
For the last three days. May was
confined to his bed with some kidney
trouble. and when he arose about 7
o'clock yesterday morning, his wife
was not alarmed, thinking he merely
contemplated going to his place of bust
ness. Half an hour latter, when she
went to the woOdshed to get some
hndlingwood she found her husband
lying on the floor with a cut across his
throat. After the physicians had been
called, a search of the shed discovered
the weapon with which May had at
tempted to kill himself, in the shape
of a big kitchen knife. After cutting
his throat, May tried to hide the knife
by dropping it through a hole in the
floor. When asked by his wife why he
had tried to end his life, he assigned
no reason, merely asserting that he did
not know.
May is a member of the Ancient Or
der of United Workmen, in which order
he carries $4,000 life insurance, and Of
the Modern Woodmen Of America,
where he is insured for 81 900 It is
said by some Of the neighbors that
May has frequently declared he would
take his own life in order that his
family might be benefited by his life
insurance, as he could not provide for
them by his business.

The December meeting Of the Ramsey

evening at the Lowry Arcade which

Many Of the members believed that to

left over after Christmas. In doing
so, he authorized me to make prices
that would settle the business at once
They were low enough before, but
now the prices are positively startling.
L gave you a few samples on Sunday
and will not stop to repeat today While
there are not so many as there were,
they are absolutely bigger bargains
than ever, because time is the essence

Yesterday was the fiftieth birthday

who had passed up the governor coldly
Christmas day atoned for their neg

sentation to his excellency of a hand
some bouquet of fifty roses, fifty, count

flowers was entrusted to a committee
consisting of Misses Baker, Bracket
and Gibbons, and, while a few Of the
horrid men about the building insisted
on being present at the presentation
it is reported that the ceremonies We're
as admirable as the exclusive exercises
planned by the male contingent when
they gave the governor his loving cup
The flowers were accompanied by the
following appropriate verse:
Fifty roses bright and fair,
Fifty years and a governors chair;
Eighteen maidens' compliments bring
To Gov. Clough-better than a king.

name, horse nettle, botanical Solanum
Carolinense, does not indicate that this
weed is closely related to the cultivated
potato, but the botanical name Of the
genus shows close relationship. An ex-
animation of the flowers shows they
much resemble those of the potato, be-
ing blush or whitish in color. The
berry, commonly called the seed, also
resembles that formed on the potato.
The leaves have large prickles m the
midrib and some of the larger lateral
ribs. They are also slightly hairy. The
stem is beset with numerous stout
prickles. Many of the related plants
of this genus are ANNALS, but
horse nettle is a deep-rooted peren-
NAL, its roots often extending three
feet or more into the SOIL
This fact makes 1t very tenacious
weed, very difficult TO exterminate. For
this reason the weed grows in dense
patches, which are carefully avoided
by stock in pastures. I would advise
blowing the land, allowing none of the
leaves to appear. The plant should be
kept down the succeeding year. Plow
the ground again next summer. Sow
thickly with rye and keep watch of the
nettle, allowing none to grow. Careful
work for two seasons should remove it.

Baling Hay from the Field.

In regard to baling hay direct from
the field, writer in the Western Rural
says: So much depends upon the loca-
ton that it is impossible to give an an
swer, without entering, to some extent.
into detail. In this climate and latitude
our experience has been that hay should
not be baled until it has gone through
the "sweat," although, if intended to be
used without much delay, it might be
very loosely baled after it had been wei!
sun-cured. In Texas and in some OF
the southern portions of the United
States, it may be baled very sat;sfac.
torily direct from the meadow. In
South America, particularly in The Ar
gentine Republic, users of our machines
bale their alfalfa while it is almost
green, without apparent injury. We
are quite sure, however, that such a
course could not be pursued with any
but disastrous results in this climate
and latitude of the United States, as the
hay would be inclined to mold.
