JIM WAH TAKES
HIS OWN LIFE
Former Chinese Resident of CITY
Found Dead at Fond
lu Lac.
BROTHER WING LAYS
CAUSE TO LOSS OF MONEY
Wah Was Prominent Member
of Congregational Sunday
School While Here.

Jim Wah, brother of Jim Wing,
who is employed in Chinese laundry
here. committed suicide at Fond du
Lac. jim Wah has lived in
Grand Rapids for four years and was a
member of the Congregational Sunday
school.
1t is believed that he died from the
effects Of some oriental poison un-
known to American physicians.
500 Sing says that Wah came in at
a. m. Monday night Offering no
explanation of his whereabouts dur
ing the evening. He called him at
5:15 Tuesday morning. "Wah would
not talk to me-" said Sing.
Jim Wing when seen today said,
''Yes 1 have heard that my brother
committed suicide, but [ cannot tell
the reason for the deed. The explana-
tion offered that Wah gambled think
is incorrect. Wah has lost about
$4,000 during the past three years
while engaging in mercantile busi-
ness; perhaps this had something to
do with the suicide. am about the
only relative Wah has in this country
except a wealthy uncle who owns
novelty store in Minneapolis. Wah
was about % gears old when he died.
He was born in San Francisco"
The Fond du Lac Reporter says:
"Wah, it is said, had been gambling
of late and had lost considerable money
at various games. Not long ago he
was seen to lose S25 in few minutes
at faro bank, and one of his friends,
who was here Tuesday evening, is re-
ported to have said that Wah bOr-
rowed $500 from an Appleton laundry
man last week. 500 Sing and Charley
Yung, of Neenah have made arrange
ments for the funeral, which will be
held Sunday afternoon at 2 O'Clock
from tie Reader undertaking rooms
to Rienzi cemetery. There will be no
services in the city or at the grave.
The fact that Wah will not be buried
with Chinese ceremony is probably on
account of his action in becoming an
AmericaniZed Celestial and joining a
Christian church. He will be attired
in an ordinary suit Of black cloth, and
will be buried the same as any other
person with the exception of the
absence of a minister"

1000 MORE ROUTES
CAN BE ESTABLISHED

There has been rumor that the
esta blishment of free delivery routes
will be discontinued. To counteract
his ru m or Postmaster General Payne
has issued the following statement:
"The postoffice department. estab-
lished during the month of July (be-
ing the first thirty days of the present
fiscal year, 2,455 free rural delivery
routes. The total number of routes
established for the entire fiscal year,
which ended June 30, 1903, was 5,665,
1t will be seen that nearly one-half as
many routes have been established
since July l as we're established dur
ing the whole of last year.

German Syrup.

We want to impress on our readers
that Boschee's German Syrup is posi-
lively the only preparation on the
market today that does relieve and
cure consumption. 1t contains the
specifics, such as pure tar, extracts of
gums, ETC., which have been SO highly
endorsed for the cure of coughs, colds
and consumption by the great med
ical congresses The consumption,
whether bis disease is in the throat or
lungs, must have rest at night, and be
free from the spasm of dry and rack
ing cough in the morning. The dis
eased parts want rest, healing and
soothing treatment, and the patient
needs fresh air, good food. etc. Ger
man Syrup will give free and easy
eXpectoration 10 the morning with
speedy and permanent relief. Small
bottles. 25 cents; regular size, contain
ing nearly four times as much, Il
