William PASSWORDS Death.

Our community was shocked Mon
day morning to learn of VIM. Pass
more's death b. his own hand. The
following was in Tuesdays Register
Leader:
Guthrie Center, Ia, June S.-Wil-
liam Passmore, wealthy farmer, liv-
ing about three-quarters of a mile
northeast of this place, was found
dead this morning in barn, hanging
to a rafter, with common horse hal
ter around his neck. The body was
found about O'Clock and was quite
warm. 1t is thought that Mr.. Pass
more committed the deed between the
hours of 3 and 6. About 3o'clock
Mrs. Passmore heard her husband get
ting up, but soon dropped off to sleep
without feeling any alarm, awakening
was instituted and the body was found
hanging to the rafter. On the head
was terrible cash which had been
made with an axe, and it is thought
that Passmore first struck himself in
the head with an axe, but finding him.
self unable to deal blow sufficient
to cause death, finishd the work of
self-destruction by hanging. A coro-
ners jury was at once empanelled and
the verdict was that Passmore came to
his death by his own hand"
Mr.. PassmOre sold his property east
of Audubon last year and bought in
all about 400 acres near Guthrie Cen
ter and they moved over there last
fall. They were! in debt perhaps $4,000
but had property amounting to per-
haps $25, 900 above all Indebtedness.
1t is said he worried because of this
debt. For some years he had been
afflicted at times with insanity.
Mr.. and Mrs. PassmOre and their
family were held in very high esteem
and the sympathy of our people goes
out to the widow and the children in
this sad hour.

Homes Wanted For Children.

A company of orphan children will
arrive in Audubon, Thursday, June
18th. The distribution will take place
at the Court House at 2 p. m.
The object of the coming of these
children is to find homes in yOurmidSt
especially among farmers where they
enjoy happy and a wholesome fam
lily life, where kind care, good exam
pie and moral training will fit them
for life of self support and useful
ness. They come under the auspices
of the New York Children'S Aid So
ciety, by whom they have been tested
and found to be we'll meaning and
willing boys and girls.
The conditions are that they shall
be properly clothed and treated as
members of the family, sent to school
according to the school law of the
state, and remain in the family until
they are eighteen years of age. At
the expiration of the time specified, it
is hoped that arrangements can be
made whereby they can be able to re-
main in the family indefinitely. The
society retains the right to remove the
child at any time for just cause, and
agrees to remove any found unsatis-
factory, after being notified.
Applications may be made to some
member of the following local commit

PRESIDENT IN THE GALE.
Yacht Sylph Had a Hard Time in the
Long Island Sound.

Long lSlanO SOunQ.
New York City.-President Roose-
Selt had an exciting day. full of peril
and adventure, day to bring terror to
the hearts of most men. but the Presi-
dent appeared to enjoy it. He left Oys-
ter Bay at 0 o'clock a. m. on the Gov
crnment yacht Sylph, and was hardly
into the Sound before the first part OF
the hurricane struck her. The captain
ordered everybody Oh board, President
Roosevelt included. to go below. The
wind was blowing seventy miles all
hour, and the waves and spray dashed
over the Sylph. At times the yacht
was in imminent danger. but as the re-
sult of skilful navigating the Sylph
was steered into the shelter Of the
Navy Yard, and remained until 2
o'clock, when. the wind having abated,
the President was taken to Ellis ISL
and.
President Roosevelt and the others
put in a few minutes inspecting the ac-
commodations for immigrants and then
sat down to a luncheon. No speeches
were made. During the luncheon the
bell tower, twenty feet high and To-
Gated almost where the President
landed, was hurled down by the wind.
A few minutes later the top of heavy
metal ventilator over the dining room
was torn away and hung by ragged
pieces of tin. Workmen cut 1t loose
and took 1t away.

MADE COINS IN PRISON
Convicts in Pennsylvania Peni-
Tertiary Counterfeitsrs..
Coinage OF Subsidiary Silver Pieces Had
Been Carried on in the Institution
Prison Inspectors Discovery.

Philadelphia, Pa.-Following closely
upon the exposure of gross irresulari-
ties in the cigar department Of the
Eastern Penitentiary came the public
announcement that the illegal coinage
of minor silver pieces has been carried
on by convicts In the big institution.
George Vaux, Jr., one Of the prison in
spectors, summoned newspaper men
to his home and voluntarily made this
statement:
"Dr. w. D. Robinson and George
VauX, Jr., who are at present the vis-
iting inspectors on duty at the Eastern
State Penitentiary, made the state
ment that it has come to their official
knowledge that within short time an
attempt has been made by certain
convicts now confined in the peniten-
tiary to manufacture counterfeit silver
coins"
"But q few pieces were made. and
number of these have come into the
possession Of the inspectors. together
with metals and dies used, the attempt
thus being nipped in the bud The evi.
dence in the case is not yet complete.
but all that has been secured has been
submitted to the United States author
ities."
Mr.. Vaux refused absolutely to give
any more details. From other sources,
however, it was learned that dimes.
quarters and half dollars were the
coins manufactured. United States
Secret Service detectives were at once
called in. Their investigation Is still
in progress to learn whether there was
collusion between, the convicts and
employees of the institution.
