For years the saloonkeepers have been allowed 10

Give It's the News.

1t is always a difficult task to gather
from day TO day the news of the pass
ing hour. There are very few OF our
people but could give a newspaper man
something of Importance every day if
they felt so inclined. The desire of
THE INDEPENDENT is to give all the
news, and make every days issue a
representation of the happenings
throughout the entire county, and more
especially the events of interest in our
city. If You meet the reporter on the
street. do not hesitate to stop him and
inform HIM of any thing you may know.
You may think it of no Importance if
friends visit you and some social event
has transplred at your home or in your
immediate neighborhood, but we think
differently.
1t depends much upon you reader
to make the columns of The INDEPEN-
DENT an epitOme of all the local events.
You can tell us but one little item, per
haps, but there may be fifty more with
one simple item. Gives us the news,
dear readers, for which we Will be I'M

Cincinnati is having its share of ex-

This gives a plausible indication that
a l%ynching IS contemplated. The gov
erner is determined that such an action
will not be permitted, and trouble is
looked for. The chain of evidence
against Walling and Jackson is now
complete, and although some papers at
tempt to smerchthe character of George
Jackson who claims to have driven the
unfortunate girl to her death, yet the
circumstances surrounding the mid
night crime give his evidence all the
vestige of the truth. The prisoners
are said to be greatly depressed since
Jackson told his story regarding the
driving of the rig.

CINCINNATI, Feb. 27-The excitement

Scott Jackson and Alonzo Walling TO Ken
lucky on the charge OF numbering Pearl
Bryan, Jan. 81. gave rise to various sensa-
tonal rumors. The most startling one was
that the head of the murdered girl had
been found in dump on Walnut Hills. Tne
head of a woman was found there at y.
m. to-day. 1t carefully examined, and
the skull and teeth were reported 10 bear
a striking resemblance to the head OF Pearl
Bryan. The most reliable information to-
night is that the head Is not that OF the
victim of the Fort Thomas tragedy. but
that some students from the medical college
took the head of a woman from the dissect-
ing room and worked a ruse on the officers.
There are no crowds around the jail to-
night, and the crowds now seem satisfied
that the prisoners will not be transferred
when there is any assemblage In sight. The
transfer will be made after hearing on
Saturday, when none but the sherifs and

NEW YORK, Feb. 27.-Alfred s. Seer.

shooting himself behind the right ear He
died Instantly. The suicide lived at the
Hotel Bayard and was ffty-five years old.
Patrolman Rohers was called in shortly
after the crime was committed and found
Seers lying on the floor of his Office He
was alone at the time of the shooting. Sew
eral or the employees OF the company heard
the report of the shot and, after ascertain
ing the cause and learning that the presi-
dent was dead, they notified the police. No
reason can be ascertaineG for the suicide.
and those connected with the printing COM
pany are very reticent
A search disclosed three letters In pocket
or coat which hung in the clothes closet
where he had gone when he shot himself
One or these letters was addressed to his
wife, at the Hotel Bayard a second 10 Mr.
Hegeman, the superintendent. and third 20
Mr.. Muller. the confidential adviser and ex-
ecutOr of Mr. Seers will. None of the three
persons to whom the dead man addressed
his last words would disclose the exact
nature OF the documents. 1t WAS said how
ever, that in none or the letters did he
tell the reason why ne took his life. The
letters to Mr.. Muller and Mr.. Hegeman
contained only directions as to the method
or carrying on the business in the future.
No doubt exists In the minds OF those wno

under mental depression which resulted
IN temporary insanity. His business was

Mr.. Seer gave Tooker $4,000 for his share

to worry the old man also. was the health
of his wife. who had but lately returned
from visit TO Florida. where she had spent
several weeks. His own health was not OF

ordered him to take a long rest, but he

one of the four Rome boys, train wreckers.
who deraied the fast mail on the New York

his three companions, charging murder in
the first degree, engineer Hager and Robert
Bond having been killed in the wreck. For
Bristol has been suffering from consump-

was dying. His father, however, did not be-
,ieye that the end was near, for he contin-

necessary for his release. The boy was
nineteen years of age, and he was the only
one of the quartet who did not make con-
fession of guilt TO the district attorney.
