People Who Fly.

The Ryan-ZoreIla troupe are un-
questionable the greatest aerialists
ever seen anywhere in the world.
Four men and three ladies have been
brought together from the best Of
the worlds circuses to present the
wonderful performances which are
one of the star features of the Adam
Forepaugh and Sells Brothers enor-
nous shows united. So swift and far
their flights through the dome of the
vast canvas, so graceful their every
movement, and so daring their every
feat, that they seem to be really
superhuman and more like feathered
birds than men and women. If there
were nothing else on the program of
this vast congregation of wonders
brought about by the consolidation
of Americas two greatest shows, il
would be well worth the while of any
amount of travel and expense to see
it. They will be at Davenport, Thurs

PROPRIETOR OF ALPHA
NURSERY A SUICIDE

William Writ. one of the proprie-
tors of the Alpha nursery. committed
suicide yesterday morning by shoot
ing the top of his head OFF by using a
shot gun. 1t Is not known exactly
what time the suicide occurred. as
there were no eve Witnesses. The
body was found about 1880 o'clock in
one of the loading sheds of the nur-
sery, and the sight which greeted the
man who found it was a CHASTITY one.
The entire top had been blown off
his head and the brains were scat
tered over the floor.
Some of the neighborS said that
they heard report of shot gun or
such weapon about o'clock, but
thought nothing of that at the time.
1t iS thought that the cause of the
rash act was the muddled up condi-
tion of the affairs of the business of
the Alpha nursery. Mr. Writ was one
of the proprietors. and he had been
greatly worried over the fact that n
few months ago the company had re-
ceived large number of orders which
were filed, but when the delivery was
made they turned out to be bogus.
This seemed to unbalance his mind.
and he took TO drinking heavily, and
has not been able to attend to any
business whatever.
He was Il married man of about 40
or - years of age and leaves Il wife
one son and a daughter.

FAILED TO CONCUR
Episcopal Delegates at Galesburg
at Variance in Choice
of Bishop.
LAYMEN REJECT CLERICAL CHOICE
Split Comes on Endorsement of Rev.
Leffingwell, OF Knox
Vile.

The entire day was taken up at the
convention of the Episcopal diocese
of Quincy, being held at Galesburg, in
deciding the eligibility of Rev. JEFF
ford, of Peoria, to vote in the con
vention and an attempt to choose a
successor to the late Bishop f. W.
Taylor.
The objections to Rev Jefford's s
voting were made on the ground that
his church had not been connected
with the diocese for the requisite six
months, but he was finally given per-
mission to have voice in the pro
ceedipgs. The convention had not
succeeded in reaching choice for
bishop at a late hour this afternoon.
Three Candidates
There were three candidates for
bishop before the clerical delegates
this morning: Rev. c. w. Leffingwell.
of Knoxville; Rev. Edward Fawcett,
of Englewood, and Rev. Henry f.
Chase, of Chicago. Three votes were
taken before noon and there were
nine for Rev. LeffingwelI. six for Rev.
Fawcett and three for Rev. Chase.
The first vote this afternoon resulted
the same way and then there was a
break and Rev. Lefiingwell received II
votes to six for Rev. Fawcett and two
for Rev. Chase.
The matter then passed to the lay
delegates and after conference Il
vote was taken resulting in the reiec-
tion of the clerical delegates choice
by Is to II. The question then re-
manded back to the other body and
at 3:30 this afternoon the clerical
delegates had not made another
choice. Under the rules of the church
it is. necessary for both bodies To
agree.
Yesterdays Session.

pal diocese, being held at Galesburg,

STANDARD OIL ACCUSED.

Dallas, Texas, Sept. S.-The Fort

that its informant is one of the most
prominent men of Fort Worth, and
who has just returned from Beau

This man declares that the Standard
Oil company has perpretrated most
gigantic swindle in the Beaumont
fields. and that positively established
details are just coming to light.
The independent oil companies of
Beaumont are the victims. many of
which have been wrecked by the
Standards work. Recently some of
the leading men of the wrecked or
injured companies determined to in
vestigate, and in two days they raised
$4,000 with which to push the work

put in their bad condition by the
Standard Oil company's conspirators.

wall it's property was bought in by
the trust.
BY accident, it is claimed, the desper-
ate work Of the Standard company
was recently discovered.
The Standard OIL company long ago
built pipe line from Beaumont to
the Gulf Of Mexico. pumping sta
ton was erected at Beaumont and an
other at the gulf. Oil was pumped
through the pipe line to the Gulf and
thence shipped to various parts of the
world. Suddenly many oil wells of in
dependent companies had salt water in
them. 81;
