Local conventions are OF great adj
vantage In that they bring national re-
form principles, In an impressive man
ner, before different communities
Comparatively few Of the Christian
people Of the country can be brought
together In any one place. The most
OF them can be reached only by the
press or by public meetings and con-
ventlons. In every community there
are moral issues In the sphere Of po-
litlcal life which can be seized upon
and discussed In the light Of the Chris
tian principles OF civil government,
The liquor problem, the question OF
marriage and divorce, the observance
of the Sabbath, and moral instruction
In the schools, are questions that may
be adyantageously discussed In every
place. II can be easily shown that they
depend for their solution upon tho
Christian principles OF civil govern
ment properly expressed In constitu-
tlonal and statute law, II would be a
blessing TO give every town, city and
school district throughout the land the
benefit Of such a convention.

According to a German statesman,
there Is close relationship between d.
yorees and suicide. In Prussia, he says,
out Of 100000 persons 8iS women COM
mitted suicide after being divorced as
compared with only slxty-one married
women, while the men We're in the pro-
portion OF ten divorced to one mar
rled suicide. The inference is that d..
voroe Is evidence OF unhappness, which
often leads to self.destruction. Many
divorced persons, It Is further alleged,
become Insane. In Wurtemberg there
are In the asyums S,O2l divorced per.
sons against 2SS married, llG ceibates
and &c widows and wldowers. Mental
alteration, 1t is argued, Is likely to lead
to a crazy choice in marriage, a crazy
choice to a divorce aud a divorce to
that intenslficatlon of greatness which
Is official insanity.

ANDREW HANSON SUICIDES.
Ends His Life With a Rifle While Ont
OF His Mind Saturday Afternoon.

The news of the suicide of Mr.. An
drew Hanson, who lived about a mile
north of the city, last Friday after
noon about 5 80 O'Clock, cast a gloom
OF sorrow over the city, with deep
sympathy for the sorrowing relatives.
Mr.. Hanson had been sick great
deal OF late, and it is supposed that he
was not in his right mind when the
deed was committed. His on..Adolph,
an employee of this office, was called
home about noon by telephone mes
sage announcing the serious illness of
his father, and remained at home the
rest of the day.. Mr. Hanson was in
bed during the afternoon, and kept
the rifle at his side. Those in the
house attempted several times to take
1T from him, but he insisted upon keep
ing it. About five O'Clock Adolph
went to the barn to attend to some
chores, and while he was alone, Mr..
Hanson placed the muzzle of the rifle
in his mouth and shot himself, death
resulting almost instantly. Henry
Haas, neighbor, was summoned by
the shouts of the family, and arrived
just as Mr.. Hanson died.
A coroner's jury was summoned,
Justice Barthell acting as coroner in
the absence from the city of DR..
Jewell, with @. n Houck clerk, and
jury consisting of H. w. Goocher,
X. +. Schwarz and A. A. Olson, be-
fore whom the above facts were testi-
fed, resulting in finding of suicide
as above.
The deceased was about 81 years old,
an old soldier, and was well known
in the county. He had been suffering
a great deal of late, and there seems
little doubt that he was out of his
mind when the deed was committed
His wife, three Sons and three daugh-
tiers are left to mourn The funeral
services were held from the home Sun
day afternoon, Rev. J. o. Haugen Off
ciating, burial in Phelps cemetery.
