wife were found dead in bed at the
Great Northern last evening. The
room showed no signs Of a struggle.
Both lifeless forms were composed
and the covering of the bed was well
tucked about them, but the revolver
clutched in the right hand of the hus-
band told the story of the double
tragedy.
Of the pair that courted death SO
successfully nothing is known by the
managers of the hotel beyond report
that the man has wealthy connections
in New York and that the woman ap-
parently was once an actress under
the stage name of Rose violette.

who inquired for them this morning,
1t is supposed that the case Is one of
a runaway marriage with death as the
result of dependency over the OBJ
duracy of an unforgiving father.

M'KINLEY SAYS NO.
DECLINES TO EVEN CONSIDER
THE THIRD TERM IDEA.
Declares He Would Not Accept the
Nomination If rendered Him.
Makes Statement Setting Forth Firm
Conviction on Subject.

Conviction on Subject.
Washington, June 12.-President Nc.
Kinley yesterday put an effectual quiet
us on the third term talk which has
gained some currency in the newspa-
pers through interviews with certain
we'll known Republicans, favoring the
denomination of the president for a
third term, by announcing in signed
statement that he was not candidate
for third term and would not ac-
cept denomination if one was ten
dered. The statement is as follows:
regret that the suggestion of third
term has been made. l doubt whether
am called upon to give it notice. But there
are new questions of the gravest import
ance before the administration and the
country and their just consideration should
not be prejudiced in the public mind by
even the suspicion of the thought of third
term. In view, therefore, of the reiteration
of the suggestion of it, l will say now, once
for all, expressing a long-settled conviction,
that not only am not and will not be be
candidate for n third term but would not
accept u nomination for it If it were ten
dered me. My only ambition is to serve
through my second term to the acceptance
of my countrymen, whose generous conf
dence so deeply appreciate, and then with
them to do duty in the ranks of private
citizenship WILLIAM M'KINLEY.
Executive Mansion, Washington, D. c.,
June 10. 1901.
President McKinley's official an
nouncement disposing of the third
term idea suggested by some of his
admirers created no great surprise
among his friends, who have known
of his deep conviction on the subject.
When Senator Depew's suggestion ten
days ago that the president should be
elected for third term began to be
seriously discussed, and when several
of the presidents friends felt called
upon to endorse the idea, the president
decided that the public mind should be
Instantly cleared of even the suspicion
that he was seeking to break down
the precedents of the past by becoming
a candidate for another term
He broached the subject to Secre-
tary Long Monday. He told him he be-
lieved that an announcement at the
very inception of the discussion would
be wise and officially informed the
members of the cabinet, who had been
informally called together, of his de-
cision. 1t met with hearty approval
There was unanimous concurrence in
the belief that discussion of third
term for the president, if allowed to go
on, would not only place the president
in false light before the country but
would arouse antagonism, and would
embarrass the administration in the
great questions before it. The brief
announcement which the president had
prepared was given out by Secretary
| Cortelyou.

EPIDEMIC OF SUICIDES,
Mayor of Emporia Forbids Publication
of Details In Local PAPERS.


Emporia, Kan, June 12.-An cpl
demic of suicides in this town, culmi-
mating yesterday in three attempts, all
exactly similar to recent successful
suicides, has caused the mayor and
board Of health to forbid the publica-
tion Of details of suicides or attempts
in local papers. The board is acting
on the theory that publication spreads
the contagion of suicide by psychic
suggestion. Mayor Morse contends
that the liberty OF the press is second
ary to the public health and is pre-
pared to use force, if necessary, under
the nuisance act. All the editors, how
ever, have agreed to suppress details
OF suicides OF attempts until the epi-
demic abates. The epidemic, which
has caused In the towns and country
two dozens suicides or attempts in as
many months. began with the suicide
OF Charles Cross. president of a
wrecked bank, and in the last 80 days
there have been seven cases, three
successful.

The labor situation In many parts Of the

outside members was lost and the

Heading Them on.

Remembering the chart scandal in this
State few years ago State Superintend-
ent of Education McMahan has sent to
the County Suporintendents the follow
ing circular letter warning them against
the proposed canvass of their counties
by the agents of the Rand -McNally Map
Company in the interest of a map they
are selling. 1t is wise precaution. The
circular explains itself !:
e Office of State Superintendent of Edu-
cationi Columbia, s. O., December 10th,
1901. Dear Sir: The State Board OF
Education authorized Rand, ,McNally g
Company to sell maps and globes at the
prices agreed upon Go the public schools
with the proyiso: THAT no sale shall be
made except to trustees assembled in
board meeting"
have just received lette, from SUI
perintendent Bright, of Pickens, stating
that two men representing themselves as
agents OF Rand McNally & Company have
come come tt,a1, to his sa county, mt ..t That he
event fears that if they are permitted to
canvass the county there may be a repe-
tition of the chart swindle business of a
few years ago. Hence his board has for
hidden a canvass under its authority in
Section 25 of tho regulations of the State
Board (page 81, school law, and he's
adopted the following resolution:
The County Board after considering
the Rand-McNally Map question decides
that if the said Rand McNally 81 Com
pany desire to sell in this county that
samples be furnished the County Super
intendent and that trustees make selec-
tions therefrom, the County Superintend-
ent to order the same as other supplies: I:
or that they send samples to be paid for
when Sold"
recommend that your board take
similar action and notify Rand-McNally
& Company that no personal canvass of
school boards will be permitted, and also
notify trustees that they shall not buy
from agents, but may examine the sam
pies in the office of the County Superin-
tendent, and upon their Judgment order
what they see fit.
Very truly yours,
John j. McMahan,
State Supt. Education.
