LANTOT SHOOTS HIMSELF
But Whether by Intent or Accident
is Not Known.

Aberdeen, Jan. l. - The tragic
death of Ernest Lancet this morning
created a sensation throughout the
city, and has been the theme of con-
versation and gossip since its occur
renee. At 10 O'Clock this morning
he entered the Bank of Aberdeen,
passed the compliments of the new
wear with Cashier W. M. Paine and
W. G. Mcmillan and others, and passed
through to q rear room which he had
occupied several months as private
office, where his books and papers
were kept. He had been there only
moment when the bank officers heard
the report of pistol, and upon inves-
tigation discovered Mr.. Lancet sitting
in chair in the throes of death with
q bullet wound through his head and
a 3S Colts lying on the floor. The
butllet had entered just behind the
right ear and lodged against the up
per panel of the skull on the opposite
side. There was no witness to the
tragedy, and he died without speak
ing word.
Acting Coroner B. G. Sims sum
moned jury and held an inquest,
whose verdict was to the effect that
deceased came to his death from a
gunshot wound, but whether inflicted
by accident or intentionally was un-
known to the jury.
Mr.. Lancet was about 45 years OF
age, and came here twenty years ago
from Ontario, Canada. He was book
keeper in the drygoods house of Roy
& Bro. several years and afterwards
purchased and conducted the business
on his own account Two years ago
he went into voluntary bankruptcy
and closed his business, and has since
been more or less involved in litiga-
tion. The last several months he has
been employed as salesman in local
drygoods house, and had secured a
position at the head of department
in large house in st. Louis. Pre-
paratory to entering upon this work
the last few days had been spent In
packing household effects, and he was
to have departed today for that city.
1t is said that he received telegram
early this morning canceling that ell.
gagement.
Mr.. Lancet leaves a widow and
three children. He was a member of
the order of Knights of Pythias, and
is said to have carried life insurance
in that order and otherwise to the
amount of from $1,000 to $25, 900.
Apparently. he has been in the best
of spirits all the while, meeting
friends and acquaintnaces with smiles
and cordial greetings, and his death
came as a great surprise, with
earnest expressions of regret.

DEAFNESS MAY DEFEAT
Hon. John S. Williams as Leader
of the Democratic Minority.

Washington, Dec. 31.-rhe afflic-
tion of deafness may cost Hon. John
Sharp Williams of Mississippi, the
honor Of leading the democratic mi
nority in the fifty eighth congress. If
| he is not elected TO the leadership il
will be probably because of that aifiic-
tion.
Mr. Willimas is just now regarded
as big man on the democratic side
of the house, and he is prominently
mentioned in the house and else
where as fine possibility to succeed
Mr. Richardson of Tennessee, the
present leader of the minority.
| There are others mentioned for the
place and of course Mr. Williams is
not assured of the election by any
means, but his prominence places
him away up in the list.
We're it not for the fact that he is
slightly deaf, it is thought by many
that the Mississippi statesman would
get the leadership. Among all the
southerners who have expressed an
opinion on his chances for the place,
not one has ventured an objection
except the affection of which he is "a
victim.
II would rather see John Sharp
Williams leader of the democrats than
any man in the house," said we'll
known Georgia congressman, in speak
ing of the coming leadership fight;
"but hesitate about voting for him
because he is deaf. He cannot plainly
hear what is being said across the
hall. A leader of the democrats must
necessarily be man who can follow
every word and keep his ear open to
every utterance of the opposition
party"
Cham Clark of Missuori, De Ar
mord of Missouri, Hay of Virginia.
Ball of Texas, Underwood Of Ala
bama, Bankhead of Alabama, and
Mcclellan of New York are men-
toned as possible candidates fer the
leadership.
The present leader, Mr.. Richard
son, may be candidate for the place
again, but many of his friends believe
he will retire at the end of his present
term and leave the place for some
other democrat.
/ Williams of Mississippi is emf
nently fitted for the place mentally.
He is one of the best educated and
best posted men in congress; a good
lawyer, stubborn fighter, a splendid
parliamentarian and gentleman of
the highest character. He is person
ally popular and has the estseem and
friendship of every man in congress.

be that Mississippi prohibitionists had

islature might adopt on that subject.

 to have one or two as change from the piainer color. Narrow stripes of colored ribbon. which can be fastened around and oves the plain band. may also be bought. and in this way one may get different stripe effects by sim ply slipping the narow ribbon up or down. Thus, if a plain dark blue band and narrow strip of dark red ribbon be used one may have the effect of a blue band with a Fed stripe through the middle. at the upper edge or at the lower edge, aceorfins to the placing of the narFow ribbon over the broader one.

TO EXTEND TIME
Mayor Yeiser Says Necessary
Delays Justify it.
No Work on the Brick Streets Until
After the First of Year, After 4,
Completion Of srd Street.

Mayor ID. A. Yeiser stated this
morning that while it had not been de-
finitely decided, he felt that Cont raot-
or 4. G. Terrells time ON finishing
his street improvement contracts would
be extended.
"You see Mr.. Terrell has done all
he can to hurry the work through and
the bad weather. the failure Of mate.
rial to arrive and other unforeseen de.
laws will compel us to extend the
time" the Mayor explained. "Mr.
Terrell has done ell he can to com.
plete the work in the specified time
but finds that the weather and other
inconvenience and delays have sprung
up so that completion in the specified
time is impossible. myself, am OPP
posed to putting down the cement in
cold weather but will abide by what
ever Engineer Washington says"
Mr.. Washington is looking into the
matter preparing a report and will pre-
sent his opinion to the aldermen and
council at the next meeting.
1t has been decided by the contract
or, it is understood, to do no more
work until after the LIST of January,
after Third street is completed, partly
because Of the weather and partly be-
cause of the fact that there is not ma.
terisl enough here to justify the con-
tractor in starting another block.

One Was Shot and Carried Away-No
Settlement in the Chicago
Strike.
ORDER is NOW RESTORED.

Chicago, ILL.,, Nov. 23-A wild riot
broke out among the street car strikers

One striker was shot and carried
away by the other strikers before his
identity could be learned.
More police were called out ON Ar

board Of directors of the road Of a
proposition submitted to the company
by the strikers This proposition. it
is said, provides for the arbitration of
the grievances of the unions on the
system that struck in sympathy with
the tranimen.
A basis OF settlement of all the other
differences in the controversy it is
said, has been agreed upon and unless

operation Of cars. No attempt was
made to open any of the other branch
es of the system.
