a Peculiar suicide.

B. Neuman, of St.Cloud, hung him
self in his own home on Sunday last.
He told his family that he was going
out, shortly after dinner to visit some
friends, and it was thought he had
gone. The door of his room was
locked, and his clothes could be seen
on chair, through crack in the
door. Failing to gain entrance, says
the Journal Press:
"About $50 in the evening, B.
FRANKIE placed a ladder to a shed in
the rear of his store and Otto, little
son of the deceased, climbed up and
looked in the window. Not realizing
just what confronted him, the youth
reported that his father twas hanging
to the bed. !" A police officer was at
once called, who went into the room
through window, where most re-
voting scene presented itself. Neu-
mann was stretched out on the floor
beside the bed, and tightly drawn
about his neck was a bed sheet twist
ed into the form of rope. The 9TH
err end was fastened to- the foot post.
The dead man was dressed throughout
in female attire, having selected a
complete outfit, the property of his
wife. Immediately in front of him,
and not more than six feet distant,
was large looking-glass. placed in
an upright position and at such an
giles that the dying man could witness
his every struggle with death. This
was the situation that confronted the
officer and the morbid crowd which
quickly gathered about the premises.
Life was extinct and doubtless had
been for several hours. The coroner
was at once summoned and decided
that an inquest was unnecessary.
The coroner expressed the, opinion
that Neumann was taken witb tenn
porary fit of insanity and, while in
this condition, killed himself

James H. Maybury, OF st. Cloud,
has broken the worlds record at ST.
Cloud. Says the Journal-Press: his
race against time on Saturday gave
him what he did not have before, q
record for $50 yards. This distance
is not one of the regulation races In
sporting circles. He now holds rec
ords for four distances as follows:
100 yards, $40 seconds: 120 yards,
HIS seconds; 150 yards, 1880 Sec
onds, He holds the worlds champi-
onship for $50 and 220 yards. For
100 yards, Maybury, Owens and We
fers have each made the same time,
and Wefers and Maybury have the
same record for 120 yards. In other
words, he has run $50 and 220 yards
faster than any other man on earth
and only one man has run 10 yards
as fast as May bury and only two men
have run 100 yards in his time.
Mr.. Isaac Horner, proprietor OF the
Blu ton House, Burton, w. ", and
one of the most widely known men in
the state was cured of rheumatism
after three years of suffering. He
says: 81 have not sufficient command
of language to convey any idea OF
what I suffered, my physicians told
me that nothing could be done for me,
and my friends were fully convinced
that nothing but death would relieve
me of my suffering. In june, 1884,
Mr.. Evans, then salesman for the
Wheeling Drug Co., recommended
Chamberlain Pain Balm. At this
time my foot and limb were swollen
to more than double their normal size
and it seemed tc me my leg would
burst, but soon after 1 began using
the Pain Balm the swelling began to
decrease, the pain to leave, and now
consider that l am entirely cured.

PURGING THE PENSION ROLLS.
From Nd New Ynrk Trihmnr.

From the New York Tribune.
Public sentiment has in effect Justly
and irrevocably deCrood that the pension
rolls can be safely and equitably over
hauled by the friends of the system, but
never by its foes. 1t Is nonsense to deny
that one political party is to great cX-
tent Influenced by it's foes The present
administration has peculiar advantages
for the performance OF such Il public SER
vice. No one would imagine that Mayor
Mckinley had become Indifferent to the
rights of his old comrades in arms or
would tolerate any injustice to them by
officials of his selection. 1sut none real
lie more kccnly than the old soldiers
themselves how great injustice Is done tO
them by prevalent ideas regarding the
condition of the pension rolls. and none
would be more anxious to see all cases
of mistake or fraud woedcd out, SO that
the country might know that the pay
mcnts made were strictly warranted by
the intent and the letter of the law. II
will not be said by any one acquainted
with the trend Of public opinion that such
a service would be of small benefit. 1t
would greatly strengthen the governmC MT
and the cause of honest pensioners also
1t would make clear before the country
and the world that the great body of pen
sion disbursements is, in fact, free from
fraud and justified by the nationals graft
itude to its defenders.

FAUROT WILL CONTEST.
Testimony That Was Introduced Yes
tcTday Before the Register OWLS.

Testimony in the FaurOt will contest
was taken before Deputy Register
James II. Hopkins yesterday. It was
of decidedly conflicting character
and this coupled with the fact that a
second will, dated 1SSS, was introduced
by the respondents, makes the task Of
the adjudicator anything but an easy
one.
The contestants are Mrs. Estelle
WoOlsey, of Mt Vernon, y, Y, Mrs
Martha Burlington, Of New York city
and Mrs. Thomas Bronson, of HOpbot-
tom, sisters of the decedant, John
FaurOt. The respondent is Mrs. Mary
Faurot, the widow, who, by the terms
Of the disputed will is made sole heir
and administrator of the estate.
Tha will is a crude appearing dOcu-
mcnt, bearing a scrawling signature.
and was devoid of signatures of sub
Scribing witnesses. 1t was dated oct,
Is, 1895. The allegation of the con-
testants is that the will is not in the
handwriting Of the dcCeasa d. was not
properly probated, and that the de-
cedant was mental incapacitated from
making will at the time the instru-
ment is dated. All three sisters testi-
fled that they had seen their brother
during October and that he was very
queer in his mind. They also contend
Cd that neither the body nor signature
of the will was in his handwriting.
The defense called Colonel u. g..
Schoonmaked, eN-Judge Ward, NJ. w.
Lowry, ii. NJ. Streeter and Miss Molle
Smith to identify the handwriting as
that Of John Faurot. Miss Marion Mills.
who boarded at the Faurot house in
oct. 1895; William Repp,of Old Forge.
a nephew Of the decedant, and the re-
epOndent, Mrs. Faurot, all testified that
John FaurOt was of sound mind and
fit to make a will at the time in ques-
tiOn. John II. Angles, of the Lacka-
wanna Trust and Safe Deposit COM
pany, testified to having received the
win from the deceddnt, and having
stored ii away i'm a vault, He also iden-
titled the signature.
Mrs Faurot also offered a second
Will, which was made i'm 1888, and
which, it was thought, was lost. She
found il only two weeks ago, while
going through some papers I'm satchel
that had not been opened i'm many
years The newly discovered will is
almost an exact counterpart OF the
one that Is being contested. As to the
contested will, she testified that il
was made by her husband in her pres
ence. There was no one else about at
the time, and for this reason no wit
nesses could be secured.

Versation he had with his Uncle Dick'

he was going to do for Mary in his
will. Th- uncle replied that Mary
had two judgment notes, one for $4,000
and one for $500 against his estate,
and that. to his mind, was enough
for her. The witness reminded his
uncle that Mary had made a present
of the S5.00e note to young Richard
McEIugh, but this did not move him 60

AN AFFRONT TO LABOR

The appointment Of Terrence V. Pow
derby to the Office Of Commissioner General
Of Immigration under the present admins
tration marks the formal execution Of the
contract entered into last fall between the
erstwhile leader of organized labor and the
Republican campaign managers, whereby
the former agreed to use his influence in be.
half Of the Republican ticket.
The Office TO which the labor orator sue
ceeds is one Of the best in the gift of the ad
ministration, and insures its occupant a
snug income during the next four years.
As TO the compromise Of principle which
the labor orator found it necessary to make
in order to secure this ample slice Of federal
PIE, there can be no difference Of opinion. Up
10 certain stage Of the campaign there was
not an advocate Of free coinage more pro.
nounced 10 his views than Terrence V.
Powderly, but suddenly, in the midst OF his
high career, this trusted leader of the labor.
ing classes announced that he had made up
his mind TO support the Republican ticket
and platform and to renounce his former
declared views on the money question. Az
to the result Of Powderly's sudden flop on
The money question, labor organizations In
both sections repudiated him In scathine
terms for his alleged betrayal Of their in
terests.
In view Of these considerations 1t is no
surprising that the Central Labor Union O
New Yofk City should pass formal reso
luton denouncing the appointment Of Ter
renee V. Powderly TO the office of Commits
sioner Of immigration as "the greatest officia
insult offered by the federal government tc
organized labor" This is strong language
and shows that whatever may have beer
the opinion in which the labor orator waI
formerly held by the New York Labor
Union he is no longer It's ideal or its cham
pion.
In resenting the appointment of T. v
Powderly the New York Labor Union sim
ply voices the indignant protest of outraged
laboring men In all parts of the United
States.
