Respectfully,
SUICIDE AT BATESVILLE.

About half past eleven O'Clock
Saturday morning the horrifying
news spread over town that a
man had committed suicide in
Herman Schott's camp house
back Of the Airing ton Hotel by
cutting his throat with a razor.
An old man by the name of Jos,
Croft at that time entered the
camp house to secure a bundle
he had left and, frightened by
the sight of a man lying on the
floor cutting at his own throat
with a razor, ran out crying for
help. Chris Steel, Jim Galvan
end Harry Kinman, working at
Guenzel's tailoring establishment
near by on Main street, rushed to
the house and arrived there in
time to see the suicide make the
last movement across his throat
with the bloody razor, his head
almost severed from the body.
The unfortunate man who thus
ended his own life was David l..
Stoddard. He came here about
thirty days ago from Deckerville,
Arkansas, where he had been a
lumber inspector. When he ar
rived here he had S75 or $50 in
money, and went on a drunken
debauch which lasted until his
money gave out, about two weeks
before the tragedy. He was try
ing to collect some sick benefit
money from a protective order to
which he belonged, but in this he
failed. In Saturday mornings
mail he received two letters, one
from his brother, who is o whole
sale and retail druggist on Lake
street, Chicago, enclosing some
pictures of the family; and also
one from his benefit order finally
refusing him any money. II Is
thought that the latter letter and
his dependency over his money
less and friendless condition,
added to the natural effects oI
his debauch, caused him to take
his desperate course.
The appearances indicate tina
the family Of Stoddard are wei
to do, and the contents Of hi
trunk indicate that he had beer

been able to secure the unqualified ad.
.hesion of the natives of the more i'm

island they have steadily ~encroached
on what was regarded as purely insur-
gent territory, and are arranging for
the establishment of full civil govern
ments in some of the provinces of the
island wherein Aguinaldo has been
strongest. Because this is to be accom-
plished by peaceful means, and with
the full assent of the inhabitants of the
provinces, the administration naturally
felt that it had cause for qualification.

the character of the discussion or the
nature of the decision, If one was
reached, was refused. A cable from
Colonel Denby, a member of the Phil
ippine commission, was read. II showed
a fairly good state Of affairs, IL of the
officers said. but it did not say that
peace negotiations with Aguinaldo were
i'll progress.
Later it was a%scertained that the de-
cision was reached to allow the Ground
robin matter to drop. At an informal
conference held at the White House,
the subject was thoroughly discussed
and such a policy agreed upon. This,
it is stated, wa confirmed at the cabi-
net meeting. Officially, the matter
will be ignored and General Otis will
be allowed to treat it as he may deem
best.

The wheel is then slowly turned in the
