A SAD AFFAIR.

A young man nineteen yeats ef
age, named II. L. Jantzen Of
Houston, Tex killed Himself at
9 O'Clock Wed. morning near the
Protestant Cemetery, one mile
from this town He shot himself
with an Ivor Johnson pistol. One
bullet pierced his brain and au-
other lodged in his head. Both
bullets entered almost in the same
opening, just ueneath the right
eye.
He was found lying by the
Side of the public road in the
sh. de of the oaks in the Protes-
tant Cemetery. One of his low
er teeth was Crowned with gold.
He was neatly dressed and wore
d. suit OF blue serge. His dress
and his face denoted refinement
and culture. On his person was
found an aluminium car,lcase with

misled into following the stock
market with prices OF all values
inflated away above their intrinsic
worth. That collapse was ine-
vitable was apparent to everybody
not blinded by direct contact with
the excitement in Wall street. The
way in which the crisis came was
a surprise, it is true; but the ex-
pected collapse was none the less
thorough and sensational.
The natural result of the heavy
losses by the great mass of specu-
lators will be great shrinkage in
speculative activity for some time
to come Having been burned,
the mass OF the people cannot be
expected to again tempt the fire
until the recollection OF the exper-
ience has been bIunted by time. In
the meantime, stocks and other
values will gradually find their
proper level, and advance or de-
cline in accordance With the shrink
age or expansion OF their real
worth, until a new crop OF specu-
lators take hold. For the present,
however, the excitement is over.
