ed Injuries.

Jacob Dssler. who has been in the
county Jail upon the charge Of incest,
died Sunday morning shortly after
o'clock, from self-infictcd injuries.
several hours before his death, Diss-
ler realized that he was going to die
and talked of his death with his BROTH
or, Leo, who was present. His only
concern seemed to be about his littls
boy. whom he consigned to the care
of his brother. He expressed desire
to be buried in Westlawn.
Before his death he seemed to have
no concern about the two little daugh-
ters he was said to have wronged and
said nothing of his crime. His wife
was not present at the time OF Diss-
ler's death She had not been TO see
him any time during his illness. They
have been separated for some time
past.
bClOTe TtlS Uedtn, lVSSleT suffered
greatly. but he showed wonderful for
titude and the extreme PAIN could
hardly wiring moan from him. His
entire system seemed to be poisoned
from the wound and he gradually grew
weaker from the effects nf It.. There
was some talk of amputating one of his
legs, but 1t was realized that he was
not in condition to stand this.
The dead man was about 46 years
of age and had passed the greater part
uf his life in Canton. He was painter
and paper hanger by occupation. He
was arrested six weeks ago and bound
over to await the action of the grand
iury. and when before the mayor ex-
pressed a desire to plead guilty to the
crime. Many persons expressed the
opinion that he was Mt TIE time the
crime was committed and for some
time prior not mentally balanced.
The funeral occurred Monday after.

L. G. Finch, the local manager of
the Postal Telegraph Co., has received
communication from the executive
offices in New York stating that the
company will soon organize o system
attic plan of pensioning old employees.
1t was the earnest desire of the late
president, John w, Mackay, that some
provision should be made by the COM

ployes who have grown old in the SER
vice, and whose usefulness had been
impaired by age or misfortune. In fur

officers OF the company have had the
matter under long and careful consid-

able to formulate systematic plan Of
pensions. they are authorized to make
the following announcement:
Any employe of the Postal Tele--

MAKES FAST RUN.
Engineer r. D. Gillette of the BurIns
ton Makes so Miles In "a Minutes

toii NaksS oU Mics IN 10 Minutes
Gaiesburg Mail: Not to be outdone
by his brother engineers, F. D. Gil
lette of the c., B. & O., famed for
many fast runs, performed another
sensational feat Saturday when at the
throttle of one of the big Rogers en-,
gines he covered the 80 miles between
Galesburg and Mendoza in 73 min
utes. The flyer was fast mail No. s.,
about IL hours late, and the entire dis.
lance was not clear sailing, either, for,
owing to repairs on the south track
the train was compelled to run on the
north track from Galesburg to Oneida
and a partial showdown was necessary
at the latter station.
Between Neponset and Buda, for a
distance of six and one-half miles, the
train pulled at the rate of 975 miles
an hour, covering the distance in ex.
actly four minutes. This Is about the
record when it comes to fast running,
and the way Gillette pulled the flyer
over that piece Of track was somewhat
wonderful.
Conductor Chittenden was in charge
of the train and, although he has trav.
eled some pretty fast miles, the run
was. fast enough to satisfy even this
veteran conductor.
