A TERRIBLE SUICIDE.
Woman Sets Fire TO Husbands Barn
and Calmly Waits for Death
in Flames.

I'.H
Detroit, Mich, Sept. GA special to
the News from Manistee. Mich, says:
Sitting in an upright position, in one
corner OF the barn in the rear of her
residence, Mrs. Mary Bumpke, aged
" years, calmly awaited death by a
fire which was apparently set by her
own hand. When William Bumpke was
awakened by neighbors, who discoy-
cred the barn afire, 1t was to find that
his wife, who had retired with him late,
at night, was missing. No great
anxiety was felt until after the flames
had been subdued, when the headless
and legless trunk of the woman was
found sitting upright in one corner of
she runs. She had benin poor health
for Sonic time.

ments and will cut nothing more than
a lining is brought out and a lesson is
given in cutting and the apprentice is
sent forth dressmaker.
Ladies should be given great credit
who can use charts successfully, yet
the art does not consist with them in
cutting as in fitting after the cutting
is done.
The Diamond Garment Cutter does
the hitting while the draft is being
made because it cuts by actual meas
urements. The company does nota
for one moment Of time from anyone
as an apprentice, but the accomplish
ment of learning to cut any and every
garment is at once begun.

A Successful School.

Over twenty Of the representative
ladies Of Cresco and surrounding coun.
try have entered upon the course OF
instructions with the Diamond Gar.
ment Cutter Co.. and new pupils are
being enrolled daily; but for some
cause or other some of the people have
a few mistaken ideas regarding the
school.
Many think it would be hard to
learn, some think they must attend
just SO many hours every day for SO
many days, while Others have an idea
that when styles change the work is
useless to them, all of which ideas are
incorrect.
AS to its being easy to learn anyone
can readily understand the work. 1t
is SO simple that single explanation
in many cases is all that is necessary,
and when understood it is impossible
to forget, as the numbers are always
before you when cutting.
A child that can read and draw lines
can learn to use the Garment Cutter.
There are great many who are
anxious to take Instructions but il
they had to attend certain number
of hours each day they could not spare
the time.
This idea has bothered some and we
Will try to explain. Anyone can come
at any hour, stay few minutes, an
hour or all day, just as she wishes, and
come and go at any time she. may see
proper.
Now, in the face of the above facts,
do you wish to provide the household
with system of cutting that is simply
perfect? Do you wish to save your
daughters from long apprenticeship
to learn dress-making and tailoring?
Do you wish for work by WHICH
with few lessons one can cut any
garment worn by young or old of either
sex?
DO you wish for an article when
once in your homes you would not
take ten times its cost for convenience
and for money itsaves. Then investi-
gate the Diamond Garment Cutter
and the school. 1t renders c,atina for
me family pleasure instead of task.
Heretofore the apprentice has spent
her three Or six months at some easy
sewing OF basting and finally on the
last day some antiquated chart that
requires q dozen or more measure.

Hon. D. A. LYONS Acceptance.

Following may be found the letter
of the committee appointed to notify
Hon. d. A. Lyons of his notification
and the reply thereto. The tenor and
spirit of of the letter Of Mr.. Lyons is
in strict keeping with his legislative
record. AS state senator his inquiry
has not been as to the source from
which a proposed measure came, butas
to its merit and its value to the pub
lie. He is cool-headed, discrim mating
conservative, judicious; all of which
is manifest in his letter of acceptance
and confirms the opinion that no mis-
take was made In his selection as
standard bearer for the people.

ing me Of the fact that 1 have been
nominated for Senator for the Aud
Senatorial District at the democratic
convention held at DEBORAH on the
10th inst.
can assure you that appreciate
the honor of this nomination, coming
as it does without any solicitation on
my part, and in opposition to my ex-
pressed determination not to be a

of private and business interests.
That should again be the candi.
date, you say was the unanimous opin-
ion of the conventions; such an express
sion of confidenc can assure you
appreciate, as it assures me that my
efforts during my incumbency in the
Office in the past have met with ap
proyal OF my constituency.
After having considered the matter
since the convention and the receip
OF your letter, have decided to &C
cept the nomination so rendered me

should l again be elected, l shall dis
charge the duties of the office in the
manner which, in my judgment, shall

ations. l have always believed that a
public officer should so discharge the
duties of his Office as to best subserve
the interests of all the people, without
regard to party ties or preferences.
The people first and party afterwards,
is the motto which I have invariably
advised and always seek to follow.
Thanking you and the convention
for this renewed expression of conf.
dence in me, and assuring you that if
again elected, shall endea vor to dis
charge the duties of the office in such
a manner as to merit the approval of
yourselves and the people of this dis
trict, remain,
