TT MAY DE SUICIDE.
Wife Drinks Poison This Morning
Husband III with Fever.

One of the saddest cases OF attempted
perhaps actual-suiclde known In the city
for long time occurred at 3 o'clock this
morning. Mrs. Floyd. wife OF Mr.. Thomas
3. Floyd. residing at No. 5lO north Sixth
street drank two ounces OF laudanum.
and II was stated at the house at
o'clock that there were no hopes for
her. One physician said she would be
dead in ten minutes. he thought This
is bad enough. But her young husband,
to whom she was lately married, lies i'll
with typhoid-fever. and may not recover.
His fover was higher last night While
the City Hospital physicians were work
ing desperately on his wife. his family
physician was treating him, being called
at the late hour because he was worse.
The ambulance was called about
o'clock. Policeman Curl, who reached
the house about the same time that the
ambulance did, was told that Mr.. Floyd
walked the persons in the house
by humping against the window and the
bedstead. When some one came, he told
MIN that his wife had taken something,
and he believed she was dying. Then
the ambulance was called. Drs. Frank
Cunningham and Lefew came with great
promptness. They set to work al once
and did fine service. One of the physi-
clans said. however, that they had come
too late. His explicit, statement was 81
fear she will be dead in ten minutes"
1t was stated to the surgeon that Mrs.
Floyd had taken the poison to Kill her
self, being respondent on account of her
husbands long illness and present al
most helpless condition. Dispatch rep
resentative called at the house, but per-
sons in the house would say nothing
about the case. They declined to give
Mr.. Floyd's Christian name or occupation,
nor would they give Mrs. Floyd's name.
Mr.. and Mrs. Floyd are boarding at this
house, in which reside Mrs. NJ. Pierce
and her son, Mr.. w. II. Pierce.

business place as o. II. Berry & Cog

A lady who had been listening in
tently to a sermon, at the close of the
service went to the preacher and said:
Pastor, / have received a terrible
blessing from your awful good sermon
this morning"
She did not stop to consider what
the words terrible" and awful"
mean. In like manner those who
speak of the "crime of '7S" do not ap-
preciate what benefits to the people
have followed in the wake OF that al
legged crime"
For example; Wheat -four in 1872
cost 81 for 1918 lbs; in 1897 5000 lbs.
could be purchased for 81. OF rice 81
would purchase S.93 lbs in 1872 but
in 1897 it would buy 1882 lbs. Roast
ing beef In 1872 could be bought at, the
rate of $50 lbs. for 81, while in 1897
6.S5 lbs, could be had for the same
amount.
An alleged crime" that so consid-
erably reduces the cost OF the com
monest necessaries of life is what
most people would call blessing.

WE WANT TO TELL YOU
Why Your Back Ia Lame-Why u
Aohes and Palms, and How to
Cure IL.

Do YOU know what IL is to have a
back that is never free from aches and
constant pain, lame back, a sore
back, an aching back, in fact, back
that makes your life burdenP What
have YOU done for it, and does it still
keep you from the happiness that per-
feet health brings to all? We know
full we'll IL such is your condition
cure for 1t will be q blessing you no
doubt desire. Plasters won't do it, but
may assist in bringing strength; lini-
ment won't do it, for while it may give
temporary relief it does not reach the
cause. The cause, there's the point,
there's where to make the attack.
Most backaches come from disordered
kidneys; therefore you must correct
their action If you would be cured.
People in Marietta are testifying that
Doan's Kidney Pills cure bad backs, =
and IL is not hard TO prove their state
ments. Here is one of them;
Mrs. @. Stnflle bean, of No. $50 Third
street, says; Trouble with my kid
neys extends back or 8 years, the
of the back where it hurt to stoop
over, or to lift anything. l was al
ways worse when / over-exerted my
self or caught cold. ] was feeling
quite bad when got box of Doan's
Kidney Pills at W. II. Styer's drug
store on Front street. They did not
only relieve and strengthen my back,
and remove other symptoms of kidney
trouble, but they seemed TO tone my
system up and make me feel physically
better and stronger. / felt good eff
feet from their use in three or four
days and had no use for plasters of
any kind after taking Doan's Kidney
Pills. / have great confidence in
them"

COL. JAMES KILBouRNE.
He Arrived In n vile Mondsy Night-A
Demonst alton was Held by His
Friends i'm His Honor

EVANSVILLE, o., Aug. sO.-The dis
trict meetings Monday afternoon will
determine the result of the convention
beyond pcradventure. The Mclean
men claim IA of the 81 members of the
forthcoming committee on ere
dentials, which will seat
| their friends in all contested delega-
tions and give them absolute control
of the convention. The Kilbourne
men claim Eight districts, concede sew
en- to Mclean and say they have a
good fighting chance for the majority.
zANEsvILIE, o., Aug. 30. After the
arrival of Col. James Kilbourne Mon
day night the friends of all other can
didatcs, except Mclean, rallied around
him, and there was quite an anti-Mc-
Lean movement, and demonstration
in honor of Kilbourne. Col. Kilbourne
made "A fine impression and proved n
popular mixer, but neither he or his
friends would give out any figures.
1t was currently reported that the
Mclean men found that they would
gain less than Kilbourne in the "brealS
away" from local favorites and for
that reason they had decided to keep
Sherwood, Seward HASKELL, Lentz and
Chapman in the field as the McLeanites
claim 76 over all and they did not
want the Kilbourne vote TO reach
SO0 There was some color given this
report by the fact that Haskell
had been considered out of the race
during the day and working in the
interest of Mclean and Tuesday
Haskell announced that he was in the
race again and would stick for bal
lot The anti-McLean men said Nc
Lean found he could not hold ma.
jority of the vote in Hasl5ell's district,
and for that reason wanted him to re-
main.
All sorts of plans were worked to
prevent Mclean from gaining on his
lead or from getting the nomination
without a hot fight or close balloting.
Mclean has held his support up to
midnight but their was no record of
any gains Tuesday ard all of the
candidates have held their own includ-
ing Haskell who had at one time said
he would not have his name presented
to the convention.
