Solomon Anderson Cuts HE Throat
With Razor.

Burlington, Aug. 28.-At 8 O'Clock last
evening Coroner Unterkircher was sum-
moned to the residence of A. Lagomar-
3cino. on Prospect Hill. Solomon An
derson, who had been in Mr.. Largomar-
,cino's employ for many years had COM
mttted suicide by cutting his throat
with razor. The body was discovered,
probably but few minutes after An
derson had committed the terrible deed,
by his friend, c. 6. Bergren.s The lat
ter has shoe shop on Third street, near
sNallay. and had come TO- pay hisssconn-
tryman q visit. He Immediately gave
the alarm. But Anderson was past
earthly help.
The coroner found the body reclining
on bed. The dead mans throat was
literally cut in two. and in his right
hand he held the weapon, keen edged
razor. Death must have been almost
instantaneous. The officer took charge
Of the remains and had them removed
to the morgue.
Solomon Anderson was a native of
Sweden, and was perhaps forty-fye
years of age.
The unfortunate man had suffered a
eunstroke a few years ago, and once or
twice since had been slightly demented.
AT one time his condition alarmed the
family, and he was taken in charge by
the police, but the attack soon passed
away and he returned to his work. as
steady. as quiet end as Industrious as
ever.
There may have heen some great
trouble in his early life; ne may have
been brooding over some loss that befel
! him in his younger days. or over some
wrong that had been done him. but II
such was the case, he never spoke of 1t.
and 1t is fair to presume that during an
other sudden attack of dementia ~
ended 1t all.
The remains will be given all proper
care and will be inferred according to
the wishes of the family OF his late em-
pioyer, who will long miss their faith

No Hurry About Campaign.

Des Moines, Aug. estate Chair
man Spence will probably begin work
today fitting up the headquarters,
rooms 314- 800, that have been secured
for the republican state central COM
mittee in the Equitable building. Ev-
erything will be placed in readiness
to commence the campaign at any time
the committee may decide when it
holds it's conference with leaders early
in September. It seems to be the opin-
ion of a number Of the members
that Oct. is early enough to open the
active speaking campaign. Those who
favor this plan also favor the idea of
having Mr.. Cummins make number
of speechs before this time at places to
be selected by himself. This will be a
most excellent preliminary to the cam
lpaign proper, when all the speakers
will start out. One object in such a
course is the saving of expense. 1t is
thought that as this campaign is sure
to be one of the most successful in the
history of the party, not as much
money need be spent as in former
years. Many of the members are also
of the opinion that they may as we'll
admit that it will be hard to raise
money this year, owing to the extreme
confidence all over the state that Cum
minis is sure to be elected by an i'm
mense majority. The consensus of
opinion seems to be that a short, Wig
orous campaign. largely devoted to
speaking, will be the most successful.

May Lose "Qn Main Zinc.

Council Bluffs, Aug. 2S.-Deputy Sher-
if e. s. Bogart, of Glenwood, is in the
city on professional business. He says
the people Of his city are greately agl-
tated over the possibility of losing the
main line of the Burlington railroad.
The Burlington is at present shortening
its route and making lower grades be-
tween Red Oak and Pacific Junction.
and Glenwood is afraid that when the
new construction work is completed she
will be left with nothing more than a
stub railroad. Surveyors have run sew
leral lines about three and one-half
miles south of the town, and altho Moth
ing definite is known, still the citizens
are considerably wrought up. Mr.. Boz
CART says that Glenwood is worth $780,
600 annually to the railroad, and that If
the line forsakes the place the possibili-
ties of the town will subside to almost
nothing.
Around Glenwood the apples are SUR
prising even the most sanguine fruit
men, and many of the earlier kind of
apples are being shipped at present.
Peaches are also coming in freely and
the quality is very good. The deputy
sheriff says the corn is making de-
cided squirt and that he prospects for a
fairly good crop are now beiieved to be
excellent

Hartley Items. .

Hartley, Aug. 2S.-Land here is still
on the boom and 1t Is no wonder, it be-
ing the garden spot OF Iowa. The Jip-
son farm sold last week at $50 per acre,
the eYar farm of $40 acres, Ave miles
from Hartley that cost $45 year ago
sold for $50 per acre. Another farm east
of town sold at $3.50; half section
seven miles northwest of Hartley sold
for $3.50; a quarter section just north
of Hartley sold for $50 per acre and a
sixty-two acre farm one-half mile south
of Hartley sold at 500 per acre. Those
are only samples and 1t is now generally
believed our lands in a very few years
will sell at 500 per acre.
In Hartley town improvements are
going ahead at a very interesting rate.
Our new 10000 school house Is nearing
completion and for the money is ex-
celled no where in beauty, durability
and convenience.
The Stewart Messer block three
store, two story building, with fine
basement, is brick structure that will
be another ornament to Hartley's pro-
gress and enterprise. Neat and sub
stantial residences are going up, and
stone brick and cement sidewalks are
being built.
The electric street railway referred
to few weeks ago is still in the em-
bryotic state, but looks encouraging as
money is in sight and already prom
ised for the road from Sioux City and
LeMars. From the latter city 1t is hopeu
to continue the enterprise thru Hartley
and on to the lakes.
