sTRYCHNINE IN THEIR FOOD.
Town of Plymouth Torn Up Over Pol
soning Case.

FAIRBURY, Neb., June 16.-The
town OF Plymouth, in the northeast
part of the county, has considerable
excitement over a poisoning which
seems to have no plausible explana-
ton. A small circus which travels in
one car stopped there, and while the
company, numbering twenty-five peo-
pie in all, were at supper they were
poisoned. The manager, Charles Kin
hebrew, and wife escaped, but Miss
Myrtle Boyles of Topeka and a Mrs.
E. w. Dilger, contortiOniSt, were so
severely poisoned that it was feared
they would not recover, while the bal
ance of the company were more or
less affected. The two ladiese who
were so badly affected were taken to
the hotel, and their food was prepared
respectively under the supervision of
Mrs. Dilger's husband and Miss Boyles
brother. After eating a small portion
of toast prepared in this manner, the
two women became violently Ill again
and doctors from this city were sum-
moned, who pronounced it strychnine
poisoning.
The county attorney was in Ply
mouth investigating the case, but he
can find no evidence upon which to
make an arrest. There were some
circumstances surrounding the first
poisoning that directed some suspicion
towards Henry Beno, freak who re-
Gently joined the show and who eats

feats, but as he could not possibly
have had anything to do with the sec
ond dose the mystery only deepens.

The KING is ILL
ENGLAND'S MONARCH HAS A Sc
WE'RE CHILL.
THREATENED WITH LUMBAGO
Believed, However, that the Attack is
Not of Serious Nature-Prevented
by illness from Attending Chuch-
Reports Cause Some Apprehension.

LONDON, June liking Edward
is suffering from a chill which has
prevented him from attending the
church parade Of the Aldershot gar
rison.
The chill came as a result OF the
kings prolonged stay outdoors upon
the occasion of the torchlight tattoo
at Aldershot. The chill is a Slight
one, accompanied by symptoms of
lumbago. The weather was extreme
ly cold and 1t rained at intervals be-
fore their majesties left the brigade
ground. King Edward returned to
his apartments chilled from the un-
wonted exposure.
These reports of his majesty's i'll
moss have naturally caused appre
hension, but there is apparently no
reason to anticipate serious results.
An authentic statement from Alder
shot is to the effect that King Edward
is slightly indisposed, but that his
indisposition is not of a serious ma
ture.
Sir Francis Laking, physician in or
binary to his majesty, was summoned
to Aldershot. He prescribed for the
king and recommended that the day
be spent in perfect quiet.
Queen Alexandria and the other
members of the royal party attended
the service at the church, but remain
ed in the royal apartments for the
rest Of the day.
1t has been learned that the king
arose in the afternoon. This is con-
sidered a good reason for hoping that
his indisposition is only temporary.
King Edwards indisposition was an
nounced too late to become generally
known in London Sunday, but consid-
ering the near approach of the cor
onation. it is bound to cause extreme
anxiety.
The Court Circular publishes the
following official announcement:
King Edward was unable to leave
his room. owing to an attack of lum-
bago caused by a chill"
Sir Francis Laking was in attend
ance upon his majesty Sunday night
and found the king to be much bet
ter.
The latest expectation is that King
Edward will be able to attend the re-
view.

YORK MAN ENDS HIS LIFE.
F. r. Lewis Hides Away and Swallows
Poison.


YORK, Neb., June 14.-This cOmmu-
nifty was startled when the announce
ment was made that F. r. Lewis had
committed suicide. Mr. Lewis was in
the employ of the South Platte Cream
cry company at this place, and was
superintendent of routes. He had
been in the employ of the company
nine years. He left the creamery at
8 o'clock in the afternoon, and not
returning home for supper a search
was made for him. He had taken cor
osive sublimate, a poison that is used
in the Babcock cream test, and hid
himself. After a search of several
hours he was found, but too late, as
he died in a short time. The only
cause that can be given for his taking
his life is that he had Overworked
himself and had worried a great deal
over the loss of one of his brothers,
and also over another brother now i'll
at Seward. He leaves a wife and two
children.

forth on the future punishment of the
wicked.
Fixing his eye upon the lawyer. who

the day Of judgment"
At this the lawyer folded his arms
planted himself as firmly as he could
and, addressing the man in the pulpit
electrified the whole congregation after
this fashion:
