DEATH BY POISON
w. L. Sweeney Drinks Two
Ounces of CarboIic Acid to
End Life.
BODY ARRIVES IN THE CITY
TO be Buried Tomorrow Under
Auspices OF the Odd
Fellows.

The body of Washington L. Swee-
ney, who suicided Saturday at Wichi-
ia, Kans., arrived in the city at 5
o'clock this morning accompanied by
his son, Redmond NJ. Sweeney, at
whose home he destroyed himself.
The remains were conveyed to the
residence of NJ. +. Sweeney, son of the
deceased, at 1902 First avenue, where
the funeral services will be conducted
at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning by
Rev. r. b. Williams, pastor of the
First Methodist church.
The funeral will be in charge of
Rock Island lodge, No. IS, l. o. o. F.,
with which Mr.. Sweeney had been affil-
lated for a half century.
Mr.. Sweeney ended his existence by
drinking two ounces of carbo'ic acid
The first intimation that those in the
home had that he had attempted to
take his life was when Mrs. Il. NJ.
Sweeney, who had occasion to go into
the back yard. saw her father-in-law
raise the north window in his room
and throw out a glass tumbler. Close
ly following it came a bottle contain
ing some carbolic acid.
Refuses Aid.
Mrs. Sweeney ran into her father-in-
laws room and found him lying on
his bed in Il stupCr. She called to
him, but he did not answer. She pro-
cured a glass of milk, but this he re-
fused to drink, merely shaking his
head slowly in the negative. \ physi-
clan was called. but nothing could be
done, Mr.. Sweeney passing away 16
minutes after he had drunk the pois-
on.
Before destroying himself Mr.. Swee-
ney went into the barber shop and got
shaved and visited an hour with his son
at the Iatter's place of business. On re
turning home he wrote several letters.
which he deposited in a nearby mail
box, and then went back to his room
and took the fatal dose.
He had grieved continually since GO
ing TO live with his son over the loss
of Us wife. who died two years ago in
this city. Scarcely a day passed that
he did not mention her and how lonely
he was without her.

Sometimes death snuffs out the
candle of life without a moments
warning and leaves an atmosphere of
sorrow and mourning where just
before all was Joy and gladness.
Such was the case in the home of
Mr.. and Mrs. Andrew jacobson of
Rolling Forks last Friday when
their Is year old boy, Albert, was
drowned in Scandinavian lake. He
had been fishing and before landing
he determined to have a swim, dove
d., from the boat, showed his head
above the surface once, sank again
and all was still. Not a cry did he
utter nor was there any indication
Of any struggle or effert to save
himself, which gives rise to the be-
lief that he was caught with cramps
on stricking the water, or possibly
death was occasioned by the sudden
flow of blood to the heart. The
body was recovered in about 10 feet
of water a few hours later.-Glen-
wood Gopher.
