1t is gratifying to the Davenport Re-
publican to perceive "a disposition on
the part of the senate to take proper
action for a suitable display at the ex-
position, for it would not do to have
Iowa surpassed in that tine by states
that do not possess anywhere near the
wealth of which Iowa can boast. Par
siinony in this regard would be but
poor economy, for 1t would present
Iowa in an unenviable light to the visi-

not do that, it would not reveal the

faults" the Citizen feels sure that the

Mt, EATON FARMER
Sends a Bullet Crashing
Into His Brain.

Massillon Cleaner: Sunday morning
at 1880, Harvey Stahl, farmer living
near Mt. Eaton, committed suicide by
shooting. Melancholy was the cause of
the rash act.
Mr.. Stahl arose as usual in the
morning, but was In badly depressed
spirits. At the hour above mentioned
he went to his bedchamber and did
the dreadful deed.
The weapon used was 32-calibre
rife. The report Of the shot gave
the alarm and when found 1t was
revealed how deliberately the desper-
ate man had proceeded to do his work.
He had evidently seated himself on
the edge of the bed and setting the
butt Of the rife on the floor, had leaned
his head forward, placing his forehead
on the muzzle.- and then perhaps with
his foot had discharged the weapon,
the fatal bullet penetrating his head
fairly between the eyes. He was not
dead when discovered but life fingered
but three hours.
The deceased was a well-to-do far
mer, aged about 40 years. He leaves q
wife but no children. At the time of
his death he had quite large sum OF
money on his person. His home Is
about one mile from Mt. Eaton.

The suggestion that King Edward

hagen, may be- able to bring about
peace IN the FAR east, is receiving
considerable attention in diplomatic
circles here but is not credited any
where. In fact those who are ordinar-

declare the report is based on, no facts
but is merely conjecture and claim
that the king at this late day is hardly
likely to attempt to bring about inter
vention when both belligerents have
stated that such action would be un.
welcome. Then II must also be re-
membered that q bloody battle is i'm
minent and action by the king would
not prevent it and the outcome might
upset any negotiations that might be

There Is no question, however, that
the king would welcome some plan
which would end the struggle andit can
be safely assumed that he is willing
to do anything that may lie In his pow.
