Came Here from Chicago to Work for

Owens's Attempt.

William Buzzard committed suicide at the
White Ribbon House, at Meridian and Ohio
streets last evening" by drinking carbolic
acid. He with his wife and four-year-old
son, registered at the hotel yesterday morn
ing. They had come from Chicago After
breakfast he went to work for the Western
Paving and Supply Company, by whom he
had been employed for the last seven years.
At noon he was present at the dinner table.
At both meals the other guests noticed that
he looked depressed, but they thought 1t
might be his nature Again in the afternoon
he went to work and returned to the hotel
shortly after o'clock: He went to his room
and called porter, who took a lamp to
the room. AS the porter left Buzzard
turned toward a closet and took from his
pocket a two-ounce bottle of carbolc acid.
He lifted it to his Ups and drank deeply.
The strong odor of the acid penetrated the
air in the room and his wife smelled it.
A quick glance at him showed her that
there was some liquid on his lips and she
asked him, What have you done? Have
you drunk carbolic acid?"
Before he replied she knew that he had
and began screaming. Guests of the hotel
ran upstairs and into the room as the
screaming continued. Buzzard had gone to
The acid had begun it's work, but he said
to her, Yes have and I'm going to die"
When they carried him to a bed he was
partly conscious. His eyes were, open and
his body heaved convulsvely. His wife, al
most mad with grief, bent over him moan
ing, ooh, VIII, come back to me. Come back
to me-" In fifteen minutes he was dead.
Doctors who were called as soon as the
other guests discovered what Buzzard had
save him. The bottle which contained the
about an ounce and half. The coroner and
too nearly Frustrated to tell much about her
husband, except to cry, ut was whisky that
done it. 1t was whisky that done it." 1t
seems that Buzzard had been addicted to
drink, but had lately braced up and de-
termined to drink no more. 1t was this
change in his habits perhaps that brought
on him condition of maniathat induced him
to end his life. That he was good workman
is testified by a letter which he had in his
pocket from the president of the Western
Paving and Supply Company, giving him
the highest recommendation. He leaves two
other children girls, six and seven years
Old who are living with Mrs. Buzzard's
mother, in Chicago.
There was apparently no trouble between
him and his family and nothing had passed
between him and his wife at the hotel which
would indicate that he intended to kill him

for burial. He was thirty-five years old.

PRODUCTS OF FARMS
INDIANA TURNS OUT IN MANUFAC.
TURED FORM $142,621 $3.50.
Her Raw Products Amount to Over
Sixteen MiIIiOns-Statis-
tics in Detail.

The Indiana Bureau of Statistics has been
delving in a new field of inquiry of natural
resources. Not content to note from year to
year what is produced in the State in the
agricultural line, the purpose has been to
see what of our raw materials are made
into finished products here in the State. The
returns so far received show that while the
State is a great producer of raw materials,
it also furnishes a great market for them,
and by it's mills and other establishments
produces from the raw materials large
volumes of finished products of great value,
thus retaining in the State the profits on all
these. Here are some of the results of the
inquiry by the bureau, and when fully
completed Captain Conner says the show
ing will be most gratifying. The State af-
fopds a market by its mills, ETC., for the
products of the farm thus distributing
large sums of money to producers, as shown

WASHINGTON, May 2O.-The convention
season in Indiana. has wonderfully stimu-
lated political correspondence to the
Hoosier statesmen resident or sojourning
in Washington. The burden of advices from

going to carry the election next fall by kill
ing majorities. The promise of splendid
crops is mentioned as being the leading
feature of the political situation although
many other factors contribute 70 the re-
newal of interest in Republican success.
