RAIN purvis, of 1il6 Washburn
street, who is now in a hospital MT Buff
falo. made his third unsuccessful at
tempt to commit suicide on Tuesday
evening. by drinking a. quantity or
sugar of lead. dissolved in laudanurn.
His first attempt was made nine
wears ago, in an outhouse in Schnell s
court when he stabbed himself with a
pocketknife. inflicting a slight flesh
wound. The second attempt was made
by him while a prisoner in the Jackson
street police station, about two years
ago. when he tried to hang himself with
a pair Of suspenders.
The third attempt was made in Fred
Riech's hotel. az Main street, Buffalo.
at o'clock Tuesday evening, after he
had been drinking and during one OF
his periodical fits of dependency.
Purvis was a member of Company +.
Thirteenth regiment, and served during
the encampment at Olyphant. After
being relieved from military duty he
was employed by G.. H. Scott & Co. OF
Franklin avenue He left home ON
Tuesday to go to Buffalo, presumably
to work for Civil Engineer Bartl, and
the first intimation his aged parents
had of his attempted suicide was yes
terdav.
Tribune man interviewed the par
ents last evening, but they We're un-
able to give any further information
than that already related. The father.
John Purvis did not go to Buffalo, as
reported, but is still at his home on
Wash hburn street
Purvis was separated from his wife
and child about six months ago, and
this fact has so preyed on his mind
that he has become affected by it, and
of late has been very melancholy. His
parents advised him to go away. but
he said before going that he hated to
leave the baby.
The child is with the mother. and
during his deirium Tuesday night it
was the little ones name of Laura"
he spoke repeatedly. 1t was his inten-
tion to get a legal separation from his
wife. but he wanted to have possession
of the child. This the wife refuses to
grant him.

The prisoner says he has no home

The beef trust has gone too far.
There is a point at which many peo-
pie will cease to eat even their favor.
ite meat rather than contribute to the
iliegitimate profits of those who tx
its price, and the beef trust has evil
IDENTIFY passed that point.
Unfortunately the revolt of the
outraged public Injuries the innocent
employees of the trust more seriously
than anybody else.
The greed of the conspirators who
have increased the price Of the peo-
ple's food in order to fatten their own
already bulging pockets has a more
far-reaching effect than was intend
ed an dts meanness stands more
fully revealed than ever before.
But the millions who haye re-
nounced beef because to buy it at
present prices is to aid the scheme of
the trust have done riglt and given
an Illustration of a noble determine
tion to fight their oppressors by every
means possible even at the cost of
self-sacrifce. Every citizen not pc
cuniarily interested in the beef trust
must rejoice that there is such a
general uprising against the attempt
of organized avarice to work upon a
supposed public necessity.
The battle between the people and
the trusts is conflict between right
on the one side and consciencsless
might on tine other.
Everything that helps the cause Of
TIE many against the cause of the
greedy few is a matter to rejoice ov-
er and thank God for.

ADMIRAL SAMPSON.

The death Of Admiral Sampson was
release from long suffering, mental
and physical. the close Of a very not
able career.
The latter years of his life were
saddened by strife and ciemor that
were the results of the injudicious
zeal of friends who meant well, but
who placed him in an unfortunate
position Now that he has passed to
peace, even his enemies will remem-
Der the illustrious services of this
man to his country, and impartial
posterity will lay upon his tomb the
honors he so richly deserves.
Il may be said without injustice to
any one that the reconstruction of
the United States navy and the re-
markable advance of our government
in naval science in the last ten years
are due more to William 7. Sampson
than to any other man connected
with that service.
II is well within the fact to declare
that as an authority on naval con-
struction and as a naval tactician he
had no peer, in this country at least
He did work for the advancement
of our navy, for its adoption to mod
ern standards and in the laying Of
plans for its present strength and
excellence which viii have won for
him high place in the estimation of
all who know the record and entitle
him to the lasting gratitude Of his
fellow countrymen.
The navel academy was the bene-
fciary of his rare ability and his al
most unequalled store of naval
knowledge. His four years admins
tration as superintendent of that in
stitution we're immensely helpful to
it, and highly honorable to him in
every way
It is eminently proper that his re
mains should rest near the institu-
ton on whose roll of honor he viii
hold a very conspicuous place.
The Guthrie daily leader. [volume] (Guthrie, Okla.) 1893-1996, 1902-05-10
REeE nARoNs SURPRISED.

Our dispatches state that ''the
business of the Chicago packers has
been staggered by the refusal of the
people of this country to eat meat at
the prevailing high prices"
1t is said that there has been a
falling on of 3S 1-3 per cent in the
demand for dressed beef in the last
few days and the packing houses
have discharged many of their for
mer employees. The condition at the
beef headquarters is described as
alarming" We suppose it is meant
that the alarm" is now among the
beef barons. They are startled TO
find that a large proportion of the
people refuse to pay the tribute
which they demanded It is natural
that the public resents and resists
what It regards as an attempt to rob
it. but the trust magnates have ac-
quired so much over and have
grown so accustomed to its unre-
stricted exercise that they stand ap-
palled at any interruption OF any
scheme of extortion they may under
take

with him. When the negro is our
equal we shall take him in and well
come him with loving arms, but as
to the Filipino we must take him in
and educate him to be our equal.
Thus we note the delicate shade Of
difference between tweedle-dum and
tweedle-dee. Altogether Mrs. Gala
CHER of Ohio has made a most sta5t-
ling and convincing argument, and
we have not the slightest doubt that
it will be hihgly spoken of in Wash
ington. We can well understand how
proud woman like James Adams
must have been crushed by such tell
ing blows.

Unfortunately for Senator Hanna's
roseate view of the influence OF
trusts, there are pessimists who will
persist in looking at it from another
point A trust could, no doubt, in
crease wages, lower working hours
and charge the increased expense TO
the coD~umer, but would it do so?
The pessimists think that a trust,
finding itself in control of the market,
might increase prices (as the beef
trust has done) and then neglect to
divide up with its workmen. What
could the latter do? If they should
strike all the places in the country
would be closed to them; they could
have no hope of success, but must
succumb and go back to work at
rates offered them by the monopo-
lists
