FOUND DEAD.

Why did he do it? He had everything
to live for,-happy home, wife, friends,
money; but he shot himself through the
heart. Why?
He couldn't have given a good reason
himself. But everything looked gloomy
to him He was in gloomy frame of mind.
1t was the way he looked at life that day.
He had been living in too much of hurry,
rushing and driving at business, hustling
through his meals, cutting short his sleep.
His nerves got on edge; his stomach and
liver got out of order; he grew dyspeptic
and melancholy.
When the digestion is out of order there
is little use trying to look on the bright side
of things, practically there isn't any bright
side. This is dangerous condition to get
into. Yet it is easy to get into and mighty
hard to get out of it. unless you go about it
in the right way.
There is remedy that has pulled thou
sands of people right out of this depth of
despair. It is DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery. 1t acts directly upon the stom-
ach and liver. 1t restores their natural
1t purges away bilious poisons, feeds the
nerve-centres with healthy, highly vitalized
blood, and drives out the blue devils " of
melancholy and nervousness.

Sad suicide of an Army officer.

The suicide Is announced Of First
Lieut.. R. G. Hall Of the Twentieth In
fantry, who was attached to the mill
tary information division of the War De-
partment in Washington. The ciroum-
stances surrounding the cases were dis
tressing. The officer killed himself while
suffering from an attack of hydrophob1a,
or from temporary insanity brought on
from fear of that disease. Lieut.. Hall
had been on leave for about six weeks.
and Monday started from Buffalo on his
return to Washington. The porter on the
Pullman in which he was seated noticed
that his actions were cratic, and kept
him under observation. Monday night,
however, he eluded his watchmen, and
when the porter went into the toilet-room
he found on the floor large pool of
blood and knife. Ths officer had cut
his throat and then thrown himself from
the window of the rapidly moving car.
This happened just beyond Harrisburg,
Pa. Lieut.. Whitney las been sent from
the War Department to bring to Washing
toen the body Of the officer, whose wife
is now stopping in Columbus. Ohio
About two months ago Lieut. Hall was
bitten by dog, supposed at the time to
have been rabid, and his friends here
are confident, from complaints he had
made, that he was suffering from the
effects of the bite when he came to his
end. 1t is said at the War Department.
that he was an officer OF unusual ability.
He was appointed to the army from
Iowa; served as Judge Advocate of the
Department of Missouri, as a member
of the Inter-Continental Railway Com
mission, which involved survey work in
Central America, and had been aide.de-
camp to Gen. Potter.
