Mr.. Shearer had been very feeble,
his faithful wife having to assist him
to rise in bed, but, with supernatural
strength born of his wild purpose
he managed to leave the bed as soon
as she had left the room and se-
cure the revolver, and retiring again
to the bed used it,
Mr.. Shearer's long illness had no
doubt resulted in temporary insanity.
In fact some three or four weeks ago,
in talking with Rev. Delepine, Mr..
Shearer stated, 81 am continually
filed with an insane desire to kill
myself, but with the help of the
Lord | have subdued the awful
thought. He frequently expressed
the wish that the Lord would permit
him to die.
Under the consoling council of
Rev. Delepine, however, who ex-
pressed belief that Mr. Shearer' 8
life was prolonged because the Lord
had something which he desired the
sufferer to see and understand in this
life, the sick man had become re-
signed and said he felt that way too
and it made him happier. On this
tragic occasion unusual pain had un-
doubtedly affected his reason and
caused him to commit the deed.
Mr.. Shearer is well known through
out the country and in various places
OF the west, where he filed calls when
in active ministerial life He filled

necessary to look in the mid-June days

No. health has next to nothing to do
with the annual hegira. The handspring
of it is to be found somewhere else.
Fashion, for instance, is one of its chief
factors. No family In fairly affluent cir
cumstances, can remain in town all sum-
mer, and expect to maintain Its place in
society. Society moves en- masse, and
every member of the herd must take his
or her proper place in the procession, or
be driven out of It. Another class of
persons joins the migration purely in de-
ference to the opinion of the vicinage, as
the lawyers would say. They go, not
because they really want to do So but
for the reason that to remain behind,
happy and comfortable in their own
homes, would foster all manner of sus-
