Enos Cole this afternoon
TO ind a man hanging in the
wo ID shed at the school house
in Grassland addition. He
came up town and reported to
Mayor Amen, who took Coroner
Hosbrook and Undertaken Hen
Messy and a reporter for the
Daily Times down with him
AMI brought the dead man to
Foss' undertaking rooms.
The man had been seen
around the Valley for the past
three weeks, and was last seen
four days ago. He is about six
feet two inches tall and weighs
close to 200 pounds. He has a
small bunch of gray whiskers
on his chin and looks to be
about 60 years old. S2.1O was
found in his pockets, but moth
ing was found to Identify him
by. His face was badly eaten
by the rats. He had climbed
up on a partition in the wood
shed and placed the rope around
his neck, and fastened it over a
rafter and dropped down.
When found his feet were in
two inches of the ground. He
was a German and when around
the city talked very broken
English. Coroner Hosbrook
impanelled a jury this after
noon and is endeavoring to find
out something about the dead
man. 1t is another case of be-
ing tired of the battle of life
and taking what he thought
was the easiest way out of it.
He is thought to have relatives
in Carroll County.

WHO OWNS DELAWARE E?

Voters in Southern Delaware are re-
ported to be asking who bought them
this time and who will buy them ar the
next election. Money was spent as us
ual. One bunch of twenty votes brought
$1,000, and individual votes brought all
the way from $35 to $75. And yet there
is very general belief that Addicks did
not open up his barrel, and cannot be
depended on to do so at another cleo
ton. Therefore the voters are watching
to see who shall be appointed Secretary
of State and who shall be elected Senator
to know who put up the cash.
The conviction that Addicks is out 81
politics does not even raise a presump-
ton that the system of wholesale cor
ruption which he introduced will disap-
pear with him. A custom which has
made an election more profitable to the
people than a good peach crop is of ben
eft TO somebody rich enough to perpet-
uate it. and the mournful prediction is
made that the Addicks system of poll
tics will not be stopped for generation.

blood to run with new vigor in the
veins;nor like full-bodied summer, when
all the world looks green and fair. and
the spirit of man is filled with glory Of

tumn. when things animate and mani.
mate seem to be settling down TO rest

Der has a distinct atmosphere of antici-
patton, as of a time of reckoning, as of
time of reward In every heart, i'm
spite of the rush of business or the daily
work. there is a feeling akin to that
which in the old days we felt when
counting the days to the school vacation
and home. says the indianapolis News.
The thought of Christmas days is in the
very air every day; thousand things
keep it in mind. from the early lighted
shop windows filled with their invita-
tons to good cheer to the happy look on
