SOME SUICIDE STATISTICS.

Shooting the Favorite Method and
Married Folk Most Prone to the Act.
Speaking of suicides, l ran across
an interesting lot of statistics the
other day and 1 learned a few things
that l had not known before" said
a man who takes a lively interest in
the subject of vital statistics, "and
want to make the statement right
at the start that married men are
more prone to take their lives than
married women. The statistics show
that shooting is a favorite Ieethod of
ending life. l had always believed,
but without any special reason, that
poison was the most popular means of
suicide. The following facts will show
the means adopted In 10000 suicides:
Drowning, 500; shooting. 3,247; poison,
2.750; cutting, SO; gas, $50; jumping,
473; hanging. 952; miscellaneous, 3O2.
You see at a glance that shooting
Is a favorite method with persons
who hustle themselves out Of the
world before the time set for them
to leave. However. poison is a good
second There is one other interest
ing thing about the figures just given,
and that Is the small number Of per-
sons who drowned themselves. l was
under the impression that drowning
was a more popular way of quitting
the world. 1t is an easy way, and
should never have guessed that so few
persons chose this method of ending
life. There is another table which
may not be uninteresting to persons
who take an interest in matters Of this
sort, for it will show the social status
of the victims. The facts are as fol-

There is no reason to suspect that
this voting experiment was made to
secure any particular result, for the
cards evidently were sent TO Repub-
licaas and Democrats alike, for one of
the other questions asked was; who
should be the Republican candidate
for President in 1904?" The answer
received was: Roosevelt, 33,10S;
Hanna, 1873; scattering, 1874.
The nearly two-thirds vote for tariff
revision must have been largely made
up of Republicans and the universal
demand that the trusts be regulated
or suppressed came from the voters of
both parties alike. This straw vote
should open the eyes of the Republican
leaders to the folly of standing pat"
and leaving well enough alone" for
it Indicates that the voters are intent
on changing present conditions Any
one can find the sentiment of his own
community by asking his friends and

it will be found that the voters every
where are Of q similar mind unless
they are directly or indirectly profting
by the tariff and the trusts.

Fashion Notes.

There is a fancy for spangled collars
and cuffs.
Fiber lace in black or white is one of
the leading trimmings.
Trails seem to be either very long or
ridiculously hobbed off.
The waist and skirt of one material
are to continue in favor.
A moleskin collarette will just match
a very deep castor dress.
The handsome new zibelines make
magnificent long-coat suits.
Fashion has taken to parting her Golf
fure demurely in the center.
Deepest fuchsia Is to be one OF the
leaders in finest broadcloths.
Brass buttons are a feature of one
new and handsome blue dress.
All kinds of thrown-up knotted effects,
often in two color tones. are among the
smart autumn dress fabrics.
Lace robes and spangle and filtered
net dresses are to be the fashionable
evening costumes the coming season.
Some of the new wells have huge spots
an inch or more in size and heavy floss
on chiffon foundations. Black splsshCs

RUN ON ST. LOUIS BANKS.

From shortly before o'clock Tuesday

o'clock, runs We're made in the savings
departments of three banks of st. Louis
and at the same time more than the or
binary amount of Withdrawals by saw

other banking institutions
The run, so far as it can be traced,
was started by disquieting rumor from
the outside that seemed to strike st.

that the savings institutions there were
unsound, and like prairie Ire it spread

ployes represent the majority of the saw

With rush the corridors of the Lin
coin Trust Company. the Mercantile
Trust Company and the Mississippi Val

and women, all eager TO withdraw their
money. The scene in any one bank was
duplicated in the other two. A line of

and faces eagerly scanning the little

officials with one voice lay the blame for
the runs on Chicago stock brokers, whom
they accuse OF deliberately circulating
malicious and utterly unfounded rumors
concerning st. Louis financial institutions
for the purpose of depressing and bear
ing the stock market
As soon as tire runs started all other
business was laid aside and every facil-
ity was afforded for the prompt payment
of deposits. The clause which gives the
bank the privilege of Withholding pay
ment until sixty days after notification
was waived and amounts were paid rap
idly, regardless of their size There was
no disorder manifested ut any of the in

who had hurried to withdraw their
money departed without it after having

matter will be investigated. One theory
is that Toscano was drunk and another
that he deliberately planned to shoot the
chief magistrate.
An attempt was made on the life of
President Diaz on Dec. 16, 1897. He at
tended on that day the public celebra-
tons in the City of Mexico Of the ami
versary Of Mexican independence. Dur
ing the festivities a man rushed toward
him and, evading all efforts made to
check his progress, reached the Presi-
dents side and attempted to kill him.
President Diaz was not hurt The as
sassin was at once arrested and thrown
Into prison. This attempted murder Gre
ated much excitement and subsequently
the would-be assassin was dragged from
prison by a mob and lynched.

BRAVE YAQUl WOMEN.
They May Nc~ Pose as the spartans
Of America.


In some respects the Yaqui Indian
women of Northern Mexico are peer
less throughout the world. A genera
ton ago Gen. Sherman said that the
Yaquis were the Spartans of Ameri-
ca. Had he lived till now he might
have added that the wives and daugh-
tiers of the Yaquis are the modern
Amazons, for the women of that In
dian tribe are active participants In
the interminable warfare that the
Yaquis wage against the Mexican SOL
d.ery.
Here Is a bit OF recent official
statement made by Surgeon Jose Ba-
tiste Alvardo. Of Guaymas, Mexico. TO

zone in the republic:

and he don't like to have them flow

other things too numerous to men
tion at auction, and moves to Kan
sas or Nebraska, or some other wind
swept desert. There he takes his
good Wisconsin money and buys .
farm which is to-day and tomorrow
is not, because the wind has blown it
way. Or he tries Colorado and slush-
es around in the mud and irritates a
strip of bottom so narrow that a cow
cannot jump into the field because
she Jumps over. Then he heaIs of
Texas and goes down there to hunt
the bag of gold at the end of the rain
bow. In the daytime he scratches
sand burs out of his flesh and at night
the trantulas nible OF his feet and the
centepides crawl over his face. When
his money is gone he begins to feel
like he did when first he over stayed
away from home. He yearns for good
old Wisconsin and the yearns stick in
his throat and choke him until the
tears come to his eye. He would give
a month work to again see the COW:
