damage was to two or three cars, one or

....Done At Night

Troubled by poverty, sickness and lack
of work, John Kutslla, a Bohemian
living on Wollmer street, between
Seventeenth and Eighteenth streets
hung himself in his cellar last Friday
night. He told his wife and children to
20 to bed as he wished to stay up. He
took n small cord, tied it to u beam in
the basement and slipped the moose
around his neck His determination to
be rid Of life was startlingly shown
by the fact that the basement was so
low that he had to draw his legs up in
order to hang. AT any time he could
have stood on the floor
In the morning his wife, missing him
and seeing light in the cellar, soon
came across the gruesome spectacle
She called for help and couple of
neighbors, responding, cut the body
down.

plain the advantages OF a central high
school. Ia reply to aquestion by Mr.
Nash he confessed himself unable to say
just how the consolidation of the dis
tricts would bring central high school
any nearer. He urged however that
the main thing was to get the people
educated up to Il desire for central
school and that then the method could
be worked out.
Judge Anderson spoke on the subject
of the state superintendent figures for

THE WARD ELECTIONS
MuIhOlIand Ties With Hall In Fourth
J. J. HeaIy Wins In Seventh

Probably the most interesting of any
of the ward contests was that between
Alderman Mulholland and Berlin Hall
in the Fourth. This resulted in a tie
which may have TO be decided by the
Council Another interesting one was the
one in the Seventh where j. Healy the
only party man, a democrat, won out
for supervisor against two independents,
c. Otto Schmidt and M. Sadusky.
The results of the elections show that
the Board of Aldermen will be Demo
cratic. The details of the elections are
