Suicide of Jim Younger.

st. Paul, Oct. 20.-James Younger,
formerly a member of the notorious
James band of outlaws which, invested
the western country quarter of a CEN
fury ago, committed suicide Sunday by
shooting. He left letter to the press
in which he gives as a reason for his
act dependency over continued ill
health and separation from his friends.
The suicide is supposed to have &C.
cured about 8 O'Clock in the morning.
Younger occupied a room in a down
town block, and when he did not make
his appearance as usual search was
made for him. In the evening the door
of his room was broken in and his dead
body found stretched on the floor beside
the bed, a revolver clutched in the
right hand. He had shot himself
through the head and evidently had
been dead sevleral hours.
Younger, since his pardon from the
state penitentiary in July of last year,
had lead an exemplary life. His first
employment was as travelling agent for
a tombstone dealer, and on one of the
trips he made about he state he was
quite seriously hurt by wagon. Old
wounds he had received earlier lin life
also gave him much trouble, and al
though he soon obtained lighter en-
ployment, his health was extremely pre-
carious, and this caused him much
wOrTiment. He was "a years of age.
On a bureau in his room was found
a long maniala envelope, on one side
of which was written:
ITO all that is good and true, 1 love
and bid farewell. JIM YONGER."
On the other side of the envelope
were these words
"Oh, lassie, goodby.
All relatives, just stay away form
me. No crocodile tears wanted.
Reporters, be my friends; burn me
up-Jim Younger.
The envelope contained package Of
letters that had passed between Young
er and a lady with whom he is said to
have been much in love. The lady,
who lis prominently connected, is said
to have reciprocated his affections and
it was reported at one time that they
were to be married. The lady S relatives
raised strenuous objections, and fur
ther obstacle was the fact that it was
pointed out that a paroled prisoner
could not legally contract a marriage.
The couple determined to disregard
the objections of relatives and an
effort was made to overcome the other
obstacle to their marriage by securing
from the state board of pardons full
pardon and restoration to citizenship.
This effort failed, and this, it is
thought, had much to do with Younger S
determination to end his life.
The lady is now said to be in Boise,
Idaho for her health.
1t is also said that relations between
Jim and Cole Younger were very much
starined-infact, that the brothers had
not been on speaking terms for thelpast
six months. Cole Younger is confined
to his bed with sickness and could mot
be seen by reporters.
The differences between the brothers
is said to be over money matters.
The body was viewed by the coroner,
who decided that an inquest was not
necessary. 1t is not yet known what
disposition will be made of the remains
some doubt arising under the terms of
the parole as TO whether the body car
b removed from the state.

DANCING UNDER DIFFICULTIES.
Girl Learned the Art in Spite of Paren-
tai Opposition.


A charming young married woman,
whose fund of humor is nicely balanced
by her good sense. was telling the 9TH
er day of the struggle she had to learn
to dance Her mother did not favor
the pastime and the daughter was
forced to learn the steps from her girl
companions Having had it dinned into
her ears that "piano practice made per-
feet" she applied the advice to her
dancing.
Il was just crazy to learn" she said.
"for l could see no harm in it, and as
soon as mother was out Of the room L
would begin sailing around. No matter
what 1 was doing-dusting, sweeping,
washing the dishes or preparing a meal
i would work in few steps. To me
now it seems the most comical thing
in my life. Fancy me with dustrag
polishing the back of a chair and then
waltzing over to the center table, from
it gliding to the piano and after a few
dabs at the mahogany sailing over to a
picture, always humming a waltz tune
for my dancing feet, but shutting down
quickly when mothers steps would be
heard.
"The funniest thing happened in the
kitchen, though. My sister and 1 di-
vided the homework, but rotated the
work so that twice week had the
kitchen TO myself. l just luxuriated
there. All the work was done to a
hippity-hop. Even big painful of dish
water would be given a whirl around
the room as II it were real Johnny, and
when l used the scrub brush one of
Strauss lovely tunes sent it merrily
over the floor.
81 must confess that mothers crock
cry disappeared rapidly while my crazy
fit was on and 1 was often put to it to
invent excuses for breaking the dishes,
but the climax came. l could not ac-
quire the reverse easily, and when
alone in the kitchen l would draw a
circle on the floor with piece of chalk
and would practice the step and, of
course, always with something in my
hands.
Starting to put away a platter with
two fine rolls of butter on it one day
could not resist the magic circle when
l started for the refrigerator. With the
platter elevated on my finger tips 1
pirouetted and pranced when-pop-the
rolls of butter slid off the platter and
landed on the top Of the hot stove. You
may believe things were lively for a
few minutes, and while l was strug-

was soon out and the remains of the
suffering rolls were picked up.
There was a very penitent girl but
penitence didn't save me, for butter
was butter at that time and what hap
pened me it is best not to tell gave
up home practice, though for the time
being" concluded the young matron,
according to the Detroit Free Press,

lous figure l cut that morning of greasy

Anthracite Combines.

AZ has been the general belief Of mos
writers and speakers that neither the
standard Oil nor the anthracite Goa
Tnsts were protected by tariff duties
on petroleum and anthracite coal.
PRESIDENT Roosevelt reflected the popu-
lar error on this subject when he said.
IN his speech at Cincinnati on Septem-
Der 20, in speaking OF the proposal to
take the duty of articles which are
made by trusts:
furthermore. the products OF many
trusts are unprotected and would be en-
urely unaffected by any change IN the

Those are strong assertions. even II

Clearly the anthracite coal trust is
protected by the duty of 81 cents per
ton on bituminous coal. We import

and British Columbia, and bituminous
