SUICIDE AT DUBUQUE.
Wealthy Contractor Hangs Himself
Cause Unknown.


Dubuque. Aug. 12.-Isaac Proctor, a
successful contractor. possessing one of
the most beautiful homes in the city,
committed suicide by hanging himself
in the loft OF his barn at the rear of
his residence. He took wheelbarrow
to stand in and fastened one end Of a
clothes line around his neck and the
other around rafter OF the barn. He
then stepped down and strangled to
death. His knees were bent and il he
had stood upright he would not have.
strangled. He had eaten a good break
fast and had gone out to the barn as
was his custom. He left nothing be-
hind to indicate the cause of his rash
act. The only reason that can be as
signed Is that he was the builder of the.
famous Eleventh street wall over which
there has been such a controversy in
this city.
He simply followed the instructions,
but the wall had to be torn down, and
being a man OF honor and integrity.
he disliked anything that would in any
way affect his standing as contrac-
tor. During the present summer he has
been at work outdoors with his men
and worked very hard. taxing his ply
sical ability very much, which no doubt
had bad effect on his mind as well
as his body, and may have so affected
him as to cause him to take the step he
did

The admiral had an eye for every
body's comfort and enjoyment, and
gave attention to the humblest as well
as to the most distinguished. Only once
did he fail. An elderly lady who called
with a party made a motion toward
kissing him. The admiral lodged it, but
the lady did succeed in kissing his
hand. Afterwards, on cross-examina-
tion, the admiral admitted that If she
had been younger and handsomer he
might have been less wary.
admiral Dewey's cabin is supplied
with a good library by the government,
but a still larger one is the contribution
of many admirers composed mainly of
authors whose books are inscribed with
eulogistic dedications. The admiral has
found no time as yet to pass on the lit
