TRIES HARD 70 DIE.
Ottawa Man Cuts His Throat and
Twice Tears Open Wound.

Ottawa, Jan. III. D. Bivens of Col
ony made a series of desperate attempts
Yesterday to commit suicide. Meager
details are to the effect that he cut his
throat with a razor, and while the
wound was frightfuI in appearance
extending from ear to cart was not
necessarily fatal since neither jugular
nor windpipe was severed.
The act was discovered almost i'm
mediately and the aid of physicians OBJ
tanned. They deftly stitched the lips
of the gaping wound and left the unfOr-
tunate man in good condition. No sooner
did BiVeES have an opportunity than
he deliberately tore the stitches loose
and reopened the wound. The doctors
were resummoned and he was again
''sewed up" only to repeat the unraV-
cling process. Three times did the per-
sistent doctors apply their needles, and
finally the desperate mans hands were
confined so that he could not reach the
sutureS in his throat.

CHOKED OFF ALTGELD
Sensational and Discourteous Per-
Torrance at Sprin gfield, Ill

Springfield, III, Jan. IA sensational
scene marked the retirement from office
today of Governor John p. Altgeld When
Altgeld'S successor, Governor John R.
Tanner had spoken an effort was made
by State Senator MahOney of Chicago to
get the floor, but the speaker refused to
recognize him. He wanted to make a mo-
ton that the joint assembly extend the
courtesy of the floor to the retiring gov
ernor. While he was trying to get in this
motion, Representative Needles moved
that the joint assembly dissolve. 1t pre-
vailed and the house then adjourned till
tomorrow.
Governor AItgeld had expected to make
a short speech and his name was put on
the programme by the committee on ar
engagements. Some of the Republican
members were opposed to letting him talk
and it was arranged with the speaker be-
fore the house met that he would not
recognize any Democrats during the joint
session. In this way Governor AltgelG
shut out. 1t has been customary in
the past to recognize the retiring govern
ors at the Inauguration ceremonies. No
reason was given for the snubbing OF
Governor Altgeld.

REPUBLICAN CAUCUS.
Candidates Who May be Compliment
arilY N oticed.

The Republicans are today debating
what they shall do in regard to a
nomination for the senate. There is
considerable opposition to naming any
one that will make use of the endorse
ment at the next senatorial election
The caucus that will meet this after
noon will hardly do anything in regard
to making a nomination for senator
There are several men that would like
to be complimented with the nominal
ton. J. r. Burton desires it most but
from the talk of the members that are
here his chances are slim. Some of the
members elected as Burton men will
not support him. The names of George
Barker of Lawrence, Judge Sluss of
Wichita. NJ. A. Low of this city, Ches-
ter 1 Long, and Cy Leland, Jr., have
been mentioned. Leland said today
that he was not q candidate. Owing to
the fact that everyone insists that the
nominee should not make any capital
out of nomination Ofg the caucus it is
like that none will be made but that the
members will be left free to vote for
whomever they please and compliment
them.

AFTER FIFTY YEARS.
WISCONSIN WILL CELEBRATE HER
SEMICENTENNIAL IN 1898.

milwaukee Already Making Elaborats
Preparations For a Lakeside Expositioa
That VIII Attract Many visitors and no
heot Credit on the Cream City.
On May 30, 1898, Wisconsin will
have been a state just 80 years, and the
citizens of the commonwealth have de-
termined to celebrate the sernicentennial
of the states separation from the old
Northwest territory, out of which SO
many slices were carved, in an elaborate
and fitting manner. 1t is i'll Milwaukee,
where the celebration ceremonies are to
be held, that the most active enthusiasm
concerning the project is to be found.
If the plans which have been proposed
thus far for the seInicentennial are car-
ried out, the celebration will be most
unique and interesting, one which will
be highly creditable to the enterprise ef
the people of the Badger State. While
no definite arrangements have been made
as yet, the project which has recently
been taking shape in the hands of the
committee seems to meet with such uni
versal approval that it will undoubtec-
~ be adopted.
Nothing less than q big exposition on
a scale but little smaller, if any, than
that held at Atlanta IS tho scheme. In
order to carry it through, the COMMITTEES,
has undertaken to raise $500, 600 L.

alone, while it is expected that almcs
as much money will be subscribed 70
stocks by citizens in other parts of tn
state. This fund has not yet been raised
but it is likely that it soon will be, 70
the enterprise has lately become u very
popular one in the Cream City. The
first attempt, made not long ago, was
failure because a firm of bankers sent
the committee a letter in which it was
declared that Milwaukee did rot want
the exposition and would not furnish
the money. This discouraged the first
committee. and it reported that the
money could not be raised.
For awhile it seemed as if the project
would have to be abandoned, but other
men who were not so faint hearted came
to the front, a new committee was or
ganized, and since things have gone ON
swimmingly.

CHILLY FOR WOLCOTT.

RADIO Senator by England.

London, Jan. 11.-Senator Wolcott has
received a good natured welcome from
The Times in advance of his arrival by
the. Campania, but the press is gener-
tons, preparations for parliament
South African oratory and loatnsome
scandal trials, and lacks either leisure
or inclination for discussing the silver
If Mckinley were president, Senator
Wolcott's representative character
would be clearly understood. but as the
case stands this mission is regarded
as self-imposed and unofficial. He will
be persona grata while in London, as
his speech on the Venezuela question
was widely copied by the English press
last winter. The present government
contains, moreover, four or five con-
WINGED bimetallists and several mem
bers, including the prime minister, who
are not committed to either side of the
monetary question. Mr. Balfour and
his bimetallist colleagues will be inter
ested in hearing what Senator Wolcott
has to say. The chancellor of the ex-
chequer however, is almost as strong
a monometallist as his predecessor, Sir
William Harcourt, and he expresses the
official mind of the cabinet on this
question. 1t is hardly credible that
the government will entertain seriously
any project for compromising the prin-
ciples of the single gold standard, nor
is it prObab bic that Senator WOlcOtt will
have better success in Berlin. Paris or
Vienna. Bimetallism has a stronger
following in continental legislatures
than in the British parliament, but the
treasury authorities in all the leading
capitals are opposed to any inteIna-
tiOnal action which is not sanctioned
by England. Senator WolcottS real
missionary ground is what the late
General Walker described as a single
square mile in the center of London.
That square mile controls the opinion
of the British government and also the
action OF the continental treasury de-
partments on this question of standard.
The only real opportunity for reopen
ing the silver question is offered by the
disordered finances and calamitous con-
dition of India, where the economic sit
uation is growing worse every week.

VETERAN TO THE POOR HOUSE
Once a Millionaire Now Linn Coun
tv PauDer.

Fort Scott, Jan. 11.-Millionaire, SOL
dier and the poor house is the life
story of Theodore Belden, a recent ar
rival at the Linn county poor house.
When the guns of the Confederacy were
turned on Fort Sumter, Theodore Bel
den was a millionaire in one of the
eastern states, enjoying to the full the
fruits of his wealth. He hearkened to
the calls of his country, and, fired by
loyalty and love for the old flag, en-
listed and soon by bravery attained the
rank of lieutenant colonel. At Vicks-
burg he commanded a battery and all
through the war served valiantly.
When peace was declared Mr.. Belden
returned to his old home, only to find
himself poor man. Disappointed, but
not discouraged, he decided to seek for
eign lands in hopes of retrieving his
lost and stolen fortune, and for several
years he Travelled in nearly every for
-eign cline. Unsuccessful, he returned
to his native country, and finally drift
cd to Kansas, where, after years of.
hardship and privation, he has at last
given up and gone to the poor house,
where he is now suffering from a dis
ease contracted while fighting for his
country.
He has never applied for a pension.
