Jacob Keifer, "a years of age, resid-

tempted suicide Thursday just before
noon by swallowing carbolic acid. He
is in a critical condition with small
chances of recovery.
The cause assigned for the deed is
alleged trouble between Keifer and his
wife, who, it is said, have not been on
good terms for some time. Quarrels
have been frequent and bitter and af-
ter an unusually stormy scene Thurs
day forenoon Keifer went to his room

nov. My troubles will soon be over.
DR.. j. l.. Reed had already been sum.
moned, but keifer was unconscious
when he arrived and all efforts to re-
lieve him of the poison have failed.
1t is said that Keifer's jealousy of
his wife over alleged indiscreet ac-
tions have been the cause of the fam.
lily troubles.
Mrs Keifer appeared at police head
quarters Thursday morning after the
couple had been Quarreling and asked
for an officer to accompany her home
saying the Keifer had threatened to
kill her and that she would not live
with him any longer.
Sergeant Riblet accompanied her to
the boarding house and talked to Kei-
fer, who appeared somewhat repentant
for the abuse of his wife, saying that
he loved her and could not live with
out her.
"She has charm about her neck" !"
he said to the officer, "and as long as
she wears that | cannot give her up"
1t is said that he has been acting
strangely for some time and it is be-
lieved that his mind has been some
what affected.

INTERVIEWS AT LONG RANGE.


Senator Marcus A. Hanna:-I am
thoroughly tired of the malicious and
wicked attacks made upon me in re-
gard to my course on the isthmian ca
nal question. My motives have been
impugned. have been charged with
being the agent Of transcontinental
railroads. 1t has been said in print a
great many times that 1 am trying to
defeat all canal legislation. The fact
is, am as earnestly in favor of ca
nal as any man in the country, and
have been for many years. AS far as
the railroads are concerned, no man
has ever even spoken to me on the
subject on behalf Of the railroads. Not
single word have heard from any
of them.
AS rule am not thin-skinned about
attacks upon me. ! have endured my
share of unjust earicature and malici-
Gus attack. have endured all this in
silence. But cartoon which appear
ed in a Washington paper few days
ago passed the limit of decency. 1t
represented me as trying to kill off the
isthmian canal with James J. Hill at
my back. The meaning Of this cow
ardly picture was that I am working
for the railroads which oppose the ca
nal. The cartoon regard as libeious,
and ! have half notion to bring &C.
ton against the paper which printed
it. A pretty state Of affairs indeed

The BRITISH TRAITOR.

A cable dispatch from London an,
nounces that Colonel Arthur Lynch,
who fought with the Beers and who In
November was elected to the house OF
commons. was arrested June 10, on
his arrival from France, on the charge
of high treason and is now in jail
awaiting trial The case of Lynch will
not awaken sympathy in America,
even among those who sympathize
with the Beers. Lynch is British
subject and owes allegiance to the
government; yet he deliberately de-
serted his country and became a trait
or. The American people have a high
sense of honor, and while many OF
them would have been willing them
Sc YES to lend their aid to the strug-
Cling Beers, yet they would not have
taken a self-confessed traitor such as
Lynch into their confidence or made
him comrade. 1t will be a proof of
extreme leniency on the part of the
British government if Colonel Lynch
is allowed to escape the punishment
usually allotted to such as he. His
guilt is manifest, and although the
wish is nearly always uppermost that
an extreme penalty shall not be inf1ict-
ed, yet if the British authorities decide
that it shall, there can be no objec-
lions urged on the part of Americans
whether they be pro-Boers or anti

SIGHTS In CHICAGO.

The Chicago people have strange
method of entertaining distinguished
guests.
A few days ago the French dignita-
ries with Count Rochambeau at their
head, visited Chicago, and scarce had
the Frenchmen had time to catch theil
breath after arrival, until they were
whisked off to the stock yards. II
matters not whether the famous visi
tor be a scientist, a poet, painter,
a philosopher, a musician. prince or
potentate. he must go and see the
stock yards, where there are great
collections of hogs, steers and sheep,
destined for the shambles. 1t does
not occur to the average Chicago
citizen that statistics duly verified
would be just as satisfactory to the
visitor as sight of the real thing it
self. The Chicago man has his ideas
and he acts upon them 1t is a harm
less diversion perhaps, but reflects
upon the emotions OF distinguished
foreigner who is rushed off to the
stock yards to see dumb brutes wait
ing for the slaughter pen. Chicago
is a great market, but there are other
things to see there that statistics can.
not express. Visitors would be edi-
fed or at least enlightened as to the
true standing of Chicago if these were
inspected, rather than if the main
snow be made at the stock yards.

PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT AND THE
MONROE DOCTRINE.

The sailing of two German cruisers
for the port of La Guira, Venezuela,
gives strong suspicion that the Vene-
zuelan ports are to be blockaded IN or
der to enforce the payment of claims
OF German corporations in that coun-
try, which amount to about 81 100000.
A mere blockade does not necessarily
imply war, nor will such blockade be
"a violation of the Monroe doctrine.
President Roosevelt in his last mes
sage to congress made the following
observation in connection with the
attitude of the American government
on the Monroe doctrine:
I'VE do not guarantee any state
against punishment, if it misconducts
itself, provided that punishment does
not take the form of the acquisition of
territory by any non-American power"
This is very explicit statement
and the declaration is in complete har-
mony with the Monroe doctrine. If it
We're otherwise and the United States
should constitute itself the defender
of South American republics in all the
quarrels in which they might choose
to engage, it would be source of end
less complications and disagreements
and perhaps armed controversies with
European powers, for the republics
are disposed to be very saucy under
ordinary circumstances and if they
knew they had the support of the
American government they would be
still more belligerent. President
Roosevelt has well defined the true
policy and while Germany will be
permitted to use humane methods
for the collection of German claims
yet there will not be foot of South
American territory yielded to any
European power while Theodore
Roosevelt is President.

AN INHARMoNIous OPPOSITION

The nightmare of big army is be.
ing dispelled by reductions that now
bring the total number down to 66,407
men. The opposition will find it diff
cult to scare the people to any great
extent with these figures before them.
Congress had made the maximum
number 100000 but under the admins
tration of President Roosevelt, whom
the opposition profess to fear as an
imperialist, the army has been reduc-
ed almost down to the minimum, which
is $4,000. 1t is difficult to conjecture
what will be theissues upon which de-
mocracy will rally in 1904. BY that
time there will be not even guerilla
warfare in the Philippines and the is
lands will all be under civil govern
ment; this will dispose of imperialism.
BY that time the republican admins
tration will have occupied all the
ground that is tenable, in opposition to
trusts and there will be nothing left
except the fragments of tariff ques-
ton upon which the opposition cannot
