HELD AN INQUEST.
No Evidence Put In to Show the Motive
for the Suicide.

for the Suicide.
Coroner Julien held an inquest last
evening at Sherman's undertaking rooms
on the body of Mary Burgess, who died
at the Bon Ton lodging house in South
Butte last Tuesday morning from the eff
fects of wood alcohol poisoning. Nothing
developed to indicate the motive sfor TAX
ing the poison, whether with suicidal in
tent or not and the jury found verdict
to the effect merely that death was due
to an overdose of wood alcohol poison, ad-
ministered by the hand of the deceased.
Mary Heating. the young lady who
roomed with the unfortunate young wo-
man, said the deceased complained of a
severe headache about l o'clock Tuesday
morning. She grew worse until about 8
o'clock she became partly unconscious
She recovered later and when questioned
by Mrs. Mulcahy she finally admitted she
had drunk wood alcohol. Miss Heating
never heard deceased speak of suicide
did not hear her say at this time that she
drank the alcohol to kill herself and did
not think she was respondent over mis-
fortunes.
Mrs. Hannah Mulcahy ladlady of the
Bon Ton lodging house. said Miss Bur-
CESS was very low when she was called.
The girl at first denied that she had ia
en- anything, but finally admitted taking
wood alcohol. DR.. Bryant was summoned
and agreed to come, but did not, and
finally DR.. Hall was sent for. He came,
but it was too late. The witness never
heard deceased say anything about sui
eide, but knew she was greatly worried
over being In debt incurred by an unfor-
tunate business engagement. The witness
expressed the belief that the deceased
drank the alcohol as a stmulant, and not
with suicidal intentions
David F. Jenkins and Mrs. Gussie Bell
We're called but were unable to throw
any light on the inquiry.
Dr. H. NJ. Hall, who attended deceased,
stated that he found the young woman
suffering from a narcotic poison. He did
everything possible for the suffered, but
he was called too late to save her life.
The witness stated there was no debut
that death resulted from wood alcohol
poisoning.

its it would still be largely patronized by
the people, for the very first considera-
ton in the investment Of money is safety.
Money is the life blood of business,
and the prosperity of the whole country
is promoted to the extent that the busi-
ness interests of the country are fostered
and protected. Private savings banks
should not be hampered nor restricted in
their good work Of encouraging habits of
thrift. Postal savings banks will not
compete but will cooperate with them.
They will educate the people and prepare
them to use banking methods in the con-
duct of their business, just as the COM
mon and high schools afford preparation
for the higher institution of learning.
When postal savings banks are estab-
lished, it will afford one more evidence
that we have a government of the peo-
pie, for the people, by the people, whose
motto is the greatest good Of the great

Postal Savings Banks,
Paper Read by w. War; at the Congressional District Farmers
Institute, McGne, ILL.,

1t is not from any spirit of hostility to
existing savings institutions, nor with a
view to suggesting remedy for any
possible defects or shortcomings that
may have been revealed, that l am in
duced to favor the plan of postal savings
banks. believe that as rule our saw
ings banks are honestly and efficiently
managed and that if they fail to meet
every requirement Of an ideal institution
with regard to serving the wants of the
people it is owing to peculiar conditions
entirely beyond their control. l believe
that postal savings banks instead Of act
ing adversely to the interest of private
savings institutions would have the effect
OF strengthening them, because they
would inspire public confidence in, and
popularize banking methods.
There are millions of dollars today

But we must take conditions, not as we
would like them, but as they are. We
must face the fact that private banks can
not, if they would, furnish the facilities
that the government could easily COM
mand. For instance, the postal savings
bank would not need to keep the large
reserve on hand that private savings
banks are obliged to, because the posi-
bility of run would be entirely elimin-
ated: Then local conditions would not
affect the postal savings bank any more
than local conditions affect the value of a
National bank note. OF course the pos
tai savings bank would pay bit a low
rate Of interest to deposi;ors, but It would
thus be made possible 10 loan the funds
at low rate OF interest, and thus prove
g great blessing to borrowers. 1t is quite
ikely that the deposits would be invested
largely in municipal bonds which would
enable cities to make needed public I'M
provements without bleeding the poor
tax payers TO pay the rates Of interest ex-
acted by the money market. Suppose a
case, which represents the actual expert
ence Of the average municipality: A sum
Of $4,000 is required for making some
necessary public improvement, such as
waterworks, or light plant. 1t is decid-
ed to issue bends to run ten years, bear.
ing interest at the rate of FIVE per cent
per annum. Even should the bonds be
placed at par, and that no financial agent,
will have to be paid $1,000 or $4,000 for
finding customer for the bonds, the
amount of interest on these bonds, which
once year will so distress and harass
the poor tax payer, is $4,000.
Now the postal savings banks could
