SENSATIONAL SUICIDE.

Young Denver Girl Kills Herself While on
Her Way to Get Married.
HASTINGS, Neb., April 1.-The Bur
lington flyer yesterday brought in the
remains of Miss Lottie Merrill, Of
Denver, who committed suicide while
en- route from Denver to Lincoln, where
she was going with her lover to be
married.
There is great mystery surround.
ing the whole affair as the young
woman and her intended husband,
Frank B. Massey, of Denver, had
known each other for years, during
which time Miss Merrilps parents had
looked upon Mr.. Massey as one of the
family. Massey was seen here and said
that they did not elope, but had decided
to go to Lincoln to be married. He
said he could think of no reason why
the girl committed suicide, and he ap.
peared to be greatly grieved over the
act. However, the girl had made up
her mind before she left Denver that
she would kill herself, as she wrote a
letter to her mother while in the
Union depot in Denver, stating that
she intended taking her own life.

was incorporated under the laws
of New Jersey as the Agri-
culturists' National Protective associ-
alton. The supreme body is made up
Of one representative from each state,
whose duties are similar to those of a
board OF directors of an ordinary cor
poration Each state has subordinate
board of directors, consisting of one
representative from each congressional
district. Each district, in turn, is gov
erned by board of two members from
each county. Each county is under
the immediate control of board, rang
ing from five to II in number, who
direct the movements of the township
organizations. 1t is the purpose to do
nothing this year in the way of con-
trolling the markets, because the or
ganization is not yet complete. Next
year, however, the crops will be linn
tied to the actual living needs of the
members of the organization. If the
plan is carried out, not dollars
worth of farm produce OF any kind will
be sold for general consumption. After
1898 there will be erected or rented in
each county, in such numbers and SC
located as may seem best and most
convenient, storehouses in which all
products for the market will be placed.
These will be in control of the county
board of directors. From these ware
houses the products will be shipped as
the state and national directors may
order, and the quantities of goods sold
in the immediate neighborhood will be
regulated somewhat after the plan of
the anthracite coal combine.
