Jacob L. Eargle Commits Suicide.

Columbia State. June 22nd.
With q determination worthy of a
better purpose, probably born of des-
peration, Mr.. Jacob L. Eargle took a
pistol, put its muzzle to his left tenn
pie, pulled the trigger and sent a bull
let crashing through his skull yester-
day morning. The bullet failing to
destroy his consciousness he tried to
get a razor to complete the job of
self destruction. As a result of the
injury he breathed his last about 4
o'clock yesterday afternoon, and goes
on to his grave with the usual public
comments about q suicide. As to
the latter he left no notes or letters
Of explanation.
Mr.. Eargle was not a native OF
Columbia, but came here from Lex
ington county some years ago. For
several years he clerked at the Farm
ers' and Mechanics store, giving much
satisfaction. At one time he was
quite well-to do. Recently he has
been conducting a grocery in the
Collicut building on Gervais street.
1t was said yesterday that Mr..
Eargle was much addicted to the
liquor habit and for the past two
years had been steady drinker. Re-
Gently he has been drinking heavily
and was 10 an extremely nervous con-
dition yesterday morning. To this
is attributed the act.
1t was just about II o'clock yes
terday morning when Mr.. Eargle
went into his place of business.
Though he spoke pleasantly to the
few people in the place, be had his
mind made up; in his pocket was
32-calibre pistol and razor. In a
few minutes those in the store
went out into the back yard
where it was cooler. Mr.. Eargle
at once went into a small closet,
locked the door and in few mo-
ments the report of a pistol rang
out. Those who rushed in broke
open the door and found the unfor-
tunate man bathed in his own blood.
He was still alive and conscious.
He spoke incoherently. He was
placed on a cot in the store and
medical aid was summoned. The
bullet had evidently passed between
the brain and the skull. DR.. Owens
was soon at his side, and did every
thing possible to alleviate his suffer
ings. Corone1Gre happened to be
near and did all in his power to allie
viate the mans sufferings. He took
charge Of the pistol and razor.
The news of the suicide spread
rapidly and created considerable sur
prise.
Mr.. Eargle was about 40 years of
age, was married, his wife, who was
a Miss Smellzer, surviving him. He
leaves no children.
The end came about 4 o'clock yes
terday afternoon. The funeral GER
wees will be held at the residence on
North Main street at $50 o'clock
this morning and the interment will
be at Spring Hill, Lexington county.

nifty to express their opinions sooner
or later
Some time ago, when the question
of municipal ownership of water
works was advocated, the plan of
some was to buy the plant now in use
and improve it. e. Hoglund
the council states that this is now
thought to be impracible as he says
the improvements would cost nearly
as much as new plant, and when
they were finished the city would still
have only a second hand plant. It
is the opinion of Mr. Hoglund that the
best and most economical plan is for
the city to build plant entirely its
own and obtain water where there
can be no question of its purity.
Many improvements are planned
by the advocates of the new plant
They promise better water, more pres.
sure, that the mains shall be extend
ed and protection in down town dis
tricts and near school houses shall be
increased.
The system which is advocated
that of pumping part of the water
from the ground and obtaining the
rest from the river, we are informed
by Mr.. Hoglund, is being worked sec
Icessfully in Kansas City, Kansas, and
is said to be economical. He says il
Ottumwa could secure one-sixth OF
its supply of water already filtered
the saving would be considerable.
1t has long been known that some
of the city fathers favored change in
the water works system in Ottumwa
and the question has been discussed
by others from time to time, but opin
4 ions on the matter are not freely
enough expressed to make any esti
mate as to how the people would vote
on the question. 1t is the same one
which has been brought UP in numer
GUS other cities in the past few years
and in them the results were
sometimes in favor and some
times against the change. Tht
question in Ottumwa must be de
cided according to the best judgmen'
Of the people, who are always alive t.
their interests. In the course OF few
months they will in all probabilit!
have an opportunity to express theil
opinions.

Plans Are Now Being Made for New
and Improved system.-Proposi-
ton Will Probably be Voted on in
a Few Months.

During the last few days new facts
have developed in the question of
municipal ownership of waterworks
for Ottumwa. Under the objection of
City Engineer John T. Brady and
Chairman of the water committee T..
Hoglund, several drive wells have
been located near the barrel factory
site in the west end of the city, and
it is reported that an almost mex
haustible supply of water is to be OBJ
tanned at depth of "a feet from the
surface of the ground. It is estimated
that the yield per day would be $780,
600 gallons which is about one-sixth
the average amount used in this city.
This water, 1t is said by those who
tested it, Is tasteless and clear, fault
less as drinking water, and if it is
free from mineral impurities it will
prove of value if the city decides to
build new system of waterworks.
To use it, the committee says, would
be economical, for the reason that it
needs no f1ltering. A specimen of it
has been sent away for analysis and
| if it proves free from mineral impuri-
| ties it will probably be used for the
lily supply, dSSoiutA5 " PlVoCAV
plans.
These plans, which are of course as
| yet only in their infancy provide for
the establishment Of an entirely new
system of water works, more modern
and with greater capacity than the
present system. N Those who advocate
the change say that the present water
works system is entirely inadequate
for a city the size Of Ottumwa, thut
the water is poorly filtered, the pipes
too small, and that the supply is
taken from a point too near the city
They propose to change all these
things, and City Engineer Brady
has been busy for some weeks pre-
these plans have been sent for ap
proyal to Hiram Phillips, of st. Louis
who has been engaged as consulting
engineer in the matter. The improve
lments under consideration were emu
Imerated in the Courier recently.
When the plans are completed which
will in all probability be very soon
it is expected that the council will
make contract in the usual way fol
building of new WaterWorks, and n
election will then be required for tn;
people to approve that contract be
bore it becomes binding upon the city
This election may come In January
altho many think the question willIo
be ready to be put to a vote that early
AT any rate it is pretty well assured
that majority of the members OF thu
council are in favor OF q change ant
