SUICIDES IN WOODS,
Frank Frisk, of Moline, Chooses
Lonely Spot in Which to
Kill Himself.
SENDS A BULLET INTO HIS HEAD
Drink and Love for d Woman
Said to Have Caused
the Deed.

Frank Frisk, of Moline, this morn
ing went into the woods on the Jahns
farm, at the southern limits of the
city. and sent bullet from 32-cali-
bre revolver into his brain. His dead
body was found about 10 o'clock by
two boys who were playing in the
tim Der.
Frisk was As years of age and sim
gle. He was a wood worker for the
Moline Wagon company and had good
family connections. According TO
the story told by his friends he had
been counting a young woman and
wanted to marry her. She accepted
his attentions, but informed him she
would never become his wife unless
he quit the drink habit, of which, it
seems, he was a victim.
Becomes Discouraged.
1t is said Frisk tried to wean him
self from intoXicants, but without
success. The supposilion Is that he
became discouraged over his inability
TO abandon the habit and win the
hand of the woman of his choice, and
decided to end his earthly existence.
Coroner ,khart- has been notified
and will hold al inquest.

The cratic Smyrna Call. an ardent
silver orsan-although it editorially
claims to be so Democratic that it
would drop free silver coinage and sup
port the gold standard il the National
Democratic Convention should declare
in favor Of the latter--for some mys-
terious reason known only to itself
propounds the following questions to
Every Evening:
First-will it support an electoral
ticket in Delaware next autumn favor
able to Bryant
Second-Will II support any free
silver candidate for the Presidency
Third-What sort of ticket would
be entirely acceptable to it from top TO
bottom?
Fourth-In the event of Bryan's re-
nomination will it formally and openly
espouse Mckinley or a gold Democratic
ticget, or will it try to sneak through
the campaign on our outskirtsf
In the first place, We desire TO i'm
press upon the errstic Smyrna Call the
fact that Every Evening is not, and
never has been. a Democratic organ.
nor the organ OF any other political
party. 1t has been independent, roliti
cally, since its birth, and expects to
remain SO all its life. It has supported
Republican candidates and Republican
measures when it deemed them right,
and Democratic candidates and Demo-
cratic measures when it believed that

the people. That it has been oftener
on the Democratic side than on the
Republican side is due to the political
conditions that have prevailed in Della
ware for the past quarter Of century.
But as to the questions:
Fnst-we will answer that question
when the electoral ticket is named.
Second-When the free silver can
didate for the Presidency is named"
there will be no doubt Of Every Even
ing's attitude. The position Of this
paper 90 the currency question is we'll.
known, and when the free silver can.
didats for the Presidency" is fairly in
the field, We will not hesitate TO ex-
| press our opinion with respect to his
candidacy.
I'hird-A Democratic ticket, on q
Democratic platform; not Populist
ticket on PCpulisI platform.
Every Evening will not try
to sneak through" any campaign.
Should the conditions be such thai
Every Evening cannot formally anC
openly espcuse,' the cause of any can
didste for the Presidency, we presume
the woods will be handy to take to.
Finally, We beg to assure our erratit
neighbor that We believe in the homelI
old adsge, never attempt to cross ;
bridge until you come to it," Whei
it comes to the point, or to the "rart
ing of the ways" the people will no
be left In doubt as 10 the attitude 0

To Form an o,.,.r syndicate.

According to the New Haven, Conn,
Register, the long. threatened oyster
syndicate which capitalists have been
endeayoring to form for several months
has come into existence at last. The
new company is 10 be known as the
Consolidated Oyster Co., with head
quarters in New York City. Those in
terested declare, however, tina. while
it is a big combination into which hum
dreds OF small oystermen's interests
have been merged. it is in no wise
trust. 10 the four States, in the waters
of which the company is to operate,
grounds and property OF oystermen,
valued at 81 600, 900. have been bought.
The purchase includes, besides the
oyster grounds ard STOCK, the entire
working plant including about 40
steamers, dredges, &c. The company
estimates that it will distribute in the
market nearly 5000 bushels every
season. BY the transfer of the property
the syndicate will acquire about 6, 900
acres OF ground in Long Island Sound,
including beds in Narragansett Bay,
Rhode Island. This does not include
the acreage of oyster grounds in tie
waters of New York and New Jersey.
While this combination is called a
| syndicate, and not trust, the trend
of the times is such as to arouse a
natural fear among lovers of the
luscious biyalre that its scope may be
enlarged until it obtains possession OF
all the oyster beds in the country
worth the having. If the consolidation
worked only to decrease the cost OF
bringing oysters TO tho market. ard
thus decl easing their cost 10 the con,
sumer, it would be all right, but the
result Of trust combinations in general
is just the opposite, and hence the
natural fear that an Oyster Trust
might operate TO make oysters dearer,
and thus increase the burdens of tbs
many people to whom they are almost
necessity during six months of the
year.
Fortunately, the oyster interests O
New York and New Jersey, to SAL
nothing of the very extensive oystel
| interests of Delaware. Maryland anc
Virginia, are not included in thi
Connecticut syndicate. It is to b
hoped that they will remain out. unles
there shall be an absolute guarantee
that the people will profit by the con
solicitation.
