A recent commercial report shows
the intimate relation between weather
and business. The unusually mild tenn

ways. The smaller sale OF shoes Is
attributed to the mlldness OF the

the slight fall OF snow have resulted
In the shutdown of some rubber fac

that furnish power to the cotton and
other mills. causing many OF them to
shut down. This was followed by
floods that brought too high level and

Mrs. Fletcher Colt Takes Ars-
enic While Dispondent.
Confesses Her Act Too Late.
From the Sioux City Journal.

arsenic poisoning" was the cause of
death assigned in the CT rtificatc of Mrs
Fletcher Colts death, which was filed
yesterday afternoon in the office of the
city clerk. Mrs. Colt died Thursday
morning, but relatives and friends
tried hard to cover the fact that it was
case of suicide. The dose of poison
was taken by Mrs. Colt while she was
despondeGt over i'll health. The pois-
on was taken "Wednesday afternoon,
causing her death little more than
twelve hours later, early Thursday
morning.
On Thursday evening when Mr.. Colt
returned from his day work, he found
his wife in state of collapse and suf-
fering intense pain. fastening to dis
cover the cause, She admitted that she
had taken dose of poison about noon
while in q tit of dependency. Upon
investigation cup with quantity of
arsenic was found, from which she had
taken the poison. Medical aid was i'm
mediately summoned, but the action of
the arsenic in the six hours since she
had swallowed the poison had left lit
tile chance for other drugs to do their
work. The poison had been thorough.
ly absorbed into the woman's system,
and though all known medical devices
for such cases were applied until long
after midnight, they we're of no avail.
For some time Mrs. Colt had been
despondent and discouraged as result
of ill health, and no other reason for
her action has been looked for.
The three young children of Mr.. and
Mrs. Colt were at home at the time the
mother poisoned herself, but failing to
understand the seriousness of their
mothers illness they said nothing to
anyone.
The funeral was held at Wescott's
undertaking rooms yesterday morning
at 1890 O'Clock, Raw. s.. Vinegar,
pastor of Emmanuel Baptist church,
officiating. The remains were taken
on the 1885 train to Missouri Valley
for interment.
1t is thought by the relatives and
friends of Mrs. Colt, in this city, that
her illness had deranged her mind and
that she was, in no way, responsible
for the rash deed she committed. She
had been sufferer for some years from
physical pain, and it is certain this af-
Fiction had affected her mind. The
case is indeed a sad one and the SYM
pathy of this entire community goes
out to Mr.. Colt ard children IN this
hour of sorrow and bereavement.
