w. w. Cole who has been resident
of Van Buren, for a number of years,
being lately engaged in the milling
business in the East End took a large
dose Of choral and laudanum, last
Monday afternoon with suicidal intent.
After taking the drugs he informed his
wife Of what he had done, but as he
had frequently before made those kind
Of statements to her in jocular man
ner, she paid no attention to it
1t was not until three hours later that
she became aware that he had actually
made the attempt and then it was too
late for the physicians to save his life
and he died about five hours after
taking the dose.
Cole had had considerable bad luck
in business matters Of late years and
had been dissipsting a good deal Of late
and no doubt had become respondent.

GEN MILES will have no "dinky"
flags In the army. Already he has Is
sued an order to the troops in which he
says that no ensign, pennon. streamer
or other banner Of any kind other than
the flags. colors. standards, pennants
and guidons prescribed by the army
regulations will be used by the army
or by any regiment or other organiza-
ton. This does away with all the
beautiful silk flags presented 10 popular
regiments and companies by patriotic
young ladies They will not be carried
In battle but they will be appreciated
Just the same and will be brought home
unscarrod and n beautiful AS when they
left the hands Of the fair donors. All
these Gags will be bravely defended.
