CALMLY PREPARES TO Die
w. II. ALLISON, PROMINENT DENTIST,
DRIVEN TO SUICIDE By GRIEF.
Adjusts Ch1Oroform Cap to Face Turns
Melancholy from IlI-HeaIth.

DR.. W.T.. Allison, one of the oldest dem
fists in the city of Indianapolis and we'll
known throughout the state, committed
suicide early yesterday morning in his
apartments at Twenty-second street and
College avenue, using chloroform and gas
as a means to bring about his end
For several months he has been in poor
health, suffering much from insomnia and
choly. The deed had evidently been care
fully planned and he took no chances of his
desire being frustrated. After retiring for
the night he saturated handkerchief with
chloroform and placing the handkerchief in
his cap, tied the cap over his face, turned
on the gas and jumped into bed.
His death was not discovered until late
yesterday morning when his son, on not be-
ing able to rouse his father forced the door
open. A physician was summoned at once
but his assistance was not needed as death
had claimed the aged dentist hours before.
DR.. Allison was seventy-one years old and
lived in Brooklyn, N. Y, until four months
ago when he came here and made his home
with his hon. He had lived here number
of years ago and was well known in In
dianapolis. In different cities in the State.
where he practiced his profession at var
ious times. his acquaintance was large.
GRIEF THE CAUSE.
He had always been in good health until
about year ago when, on account OF old
age, he obliged to give up hfs active
practice. During the last three months ne
suffered much from insomnia and was COM
PEELED to take morphine in order to get any
sleep.
1t is believed by his relatives that he took
an overdose OF the drug the evening before
he ended his life and raving from the ef-
fects committed suicide when not in his
right mind.
DR.. Maxwell, who attended the aged man
during his illness. said last night that he
did not believe DR.. Allison was of sound
mind. His wife died in Brooklyn, n. Y,
about five months ago and since that time
he has been much worried and 1t was prob
ably her death which caused his trouble.
The remains We're placed in charge of

for the funeral have not been completed as

Special to the Indianapolis Journal
HAMMOND, Ind, Dec. 6-Farmer
Charles StahIbohm, proprietor of a road
house near this city, don't care to dupli-
cate the tricky experience that he had last
might while driving home from Dyer, where
he had been buying stock yesterday after
noon- He had met too many friends in
Dyer, and as he. with his team, neared the
Monon Railroad, fifteen miles south of
here. he did not notice fast freight train
until il was upon him. The train killed
both horses and made kindlng wood of
the wagon. Stahlbohm was thrown on the
engine pilot, and so tightly had he grasped
his lines that he still held parts of them,
as we'll as the whip, when the train pulled
into Hammond at 10 o'clock last night.
There he was found by the engineer, who
did not know of the collision. Stahlbohm
evidently thought he still driving, for
he was seated upright with the blanket
around his knees and the remnants OF the
lines still outstretched in his hands.
When Engineer Bellinger shook him out
of his stupor, he angrily accused the train
men of stealing his cap and his horses and
had TO be held from fighting them. The
companys surgeon, DIR. j. c. Pannenturg,
says that Stahlbohm Is as near uninjured
rs 1t is possible fQf him to be.

water by pipes from a ditch and
there is an outlet for same through
other pipes into the river.
The temperature OF the water is reg

which run over furnace which is

sufficient time to allow it to become

ton is at last about to be given
up. For number of years, the

to the expense of maintaining the
Congo Free State. OF late the
remonstrances have become so
decided that they could no longer
be UNDECIDED and the government
now announces that there will be
no further attempt to annex the
colony to its possessions. This
signifies that the so-called Free
