What-,vas the motive for suicide is
not known and Carlson left nothing
behind to indicate what course he
had pursued. At the time of the dis

ice i'm the river.
He may have crossed the channel

through an open place in the ice of

the dam and down the slough to
where the body was found.
1t is also possible that he fell in

Storms in the East

Quincy, Ill.,, A tornado struck this city Sunday evening and passed in a northeasterly direction, destroyed a number of houses and barns and did great damage to crops. Wires are down and details are meager. At Camp Point one man, name unkonwn, was killed, and in the outskirts of Quincy Henry Koetters was fatally injured. The smokestacks of the eelectric light power house were blown down and the city is in darkness
 St. Louis-A hail storm lasting five minutes caused $5OOO damage in the city Sunday night. Hail stones two inches in diameter fell. The precipi- tation on the tin roof of the Olympic theater caused panic among the audience. Several persons were bruis- ed, but none seriously hurt. John Upschuet's house was wrecked and he was injured. The debris took firess ssand the members of the family who were not caught under the falling timbers extinguished the blaze. Mrs. Henry Koettys was also seriously injured. In some places entire orchards were leveled.

contents of the letter. According to rumor Herrera's note is couched in very strong and offensive language.
 Regarding his refusal to allow the Colombian government to transport troops on the railroad the admiral said the United States had taken this ac- tion in order to maintain free transit. He knew General Herrera would not dare to interfere with trains flying the American flag, but he thought that if the government was permitted to trans- port troops or war material along the line it would be provoking to the revo- lutionists and might cause an interrup- tion to traffic. It is reported that the liberals to the number of 500 or 1000 have camp back of Empire station and it is claimed in behalf of Admiral Casey that if the government reinforce ments are very desirous of reaching Panama they can reach here from Colon.
 It is not known how long the United States forces will prevent the govein- ment from using trains to transport troops, but it is admitted that Ad- miral Casey will not allow General Herrera to Lombard Panama and it is asserted that if the revolutionary gum boat Padilla comes within a limit assigned by the American admiral the latter will sink her. On the other hand. he will not permit the govern ment gunboats to provoke the Padilla into venturing within the limit re- ferred to.

Oldest Woman Dead

A negress who, according to her own report, was living at the time of the "Boston tea party" and the meeting of the first continental Congress, died at the Home for Aged and Infrm Col ored People, Saturday. If the reports of her age should be correct she was the oldest person in Illinois, and possibly in the United States. The woman was Ellen Stewart, slave be- fore the Civil War, three times mar ried, and.the mother of four children, the last of whom died several years ago of old age. According to her story she was born in 1770, and consequently was 132 years of age. The officials of the institution in which she died, after an investigation as thorough as could be made, credited her statement.
