SUICIDE AT THE AGE OF 1os.

When a hold Irishman named James Burns, whose age was stated to be 103, and who was an inmate of Festiniog workhouse was found in a state of col lapse from self-in1icted wounds in the throat, he pleaded hard to be allowed to die. "Oh, let me die" he said to the nurse. T have lived long enough" Death, sure enough, took place soon afterward. The life story of Burns has some remarkable features. He was in the navy until about fifty years of age, and subsequently, earned his live iihood as a hawker. When nearly eighty years of age he married the daughter of an Italian organ grinder, the woman being about fifty years his junior. They settled down in Port madoc about ten years back with their three children, but two years ago his wife and children left him for Chester. The old man apparently was averse to removing with his family, and it is said that he entered the workshop quite cheerfully. Of late however, he had pined for his family, and had be- come epressed.-London Chronicle.

AGAINST SICK BENEFITS.
Senator F. M. MoIesbury, Official Head
of X. of p. Is Outspoken.

Sioux City, June 2O.--F. NJ Moesberry, Of
Columbus Junction, grand chancellor Of the
grand lodge of Iowa, Knights of Pythias.
is radically opposed to holding out the
payment of sick benefits as an inducement
to secure members for the lodge, and eX-
pressed himself In an outspoken manner
last week in his official visit to the Sioux
City lodge. No. 234.
Senator Molesberry thinks that this sys-
TEN is pernicious, and sooner or later will
work n detriment to the order. He would
have it that no set allowance be given to
members in case they are sick, but where
n member Is In destitute circumstances
the lodge come to his relief and assist him.
81 think the order is making n mistake
in holding out this idea Of sick benefits to
persons in order to induce them to become
member of the Knights of Pythias," he
said. sit will weaken the order, and is
apt to get in an undesirable class of mem
bers. l do noto object to the payment of
sick benefits in cases Of need. but where
the member is amply able to take care Of
himself, certainly do not favor 1t. I
am going to bring a resolution before the
grand lodge of the state when 1t meets in
Waterloo, asking that the representatives
to the supreme lodge be instructed to vote
against it."

The readers of this paper will be pleased
to learn that there Is at least on dreaded
disease that science has been able to cure
in all it's stages, and that is Catarrh. Halls
Catarrh Cure is the only positive cure now
known to the medical fraternity. Catarrh
being a constitutional disease, requires a
constitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh
Cure Is taken internally, acting directly
upon the blood and mucuous surfaces of
the system, therby destroying the founda-
tion of the disease, and given the patient
strength by building up the constitution
and assisting nature in doing its work. The
proprietors have so much faith in it's cura-
tive power that they offer One Hundred
Dollars for any case that 1t fails to cure.

A NEW PLAN.
Scheme to Make M. N. &. S. Road
Dart Of Later lrhaa SNste n.

Part of Inter Urban System.
Burlington, June 20.-New Musca-
tine North and South railway rumors
are heard in the land. There being no
bidders, the sale which was to be con-
summated a few days ago was again
postponed. The date has now been
set for September 6. Something must
be done with the road sooner or later.
In it's present condition it is an ele-
plant on the receivers hands. Just
how he is to get rid of it, or who shall
relieve him of it, that Is an unsolNed
problem, which is attracting some at
tention in interested and other circles
There are those who incline to the be-
lief that the road will be bought up
by Davenport parties, who are inter-
ested in interurban enterprises, and
that it will form a section or division
of a Davenport Muscatine- Burlington
and southern system.
A story that emanates from Cedar
Rapids and is given credence there
has it that the Iowa City and Cedar
Rapids Interurban company will ac-
quire the line at the September sale
and equip 1t as an electric line. 1t
is the opinion of those who are thor
oughly familiar with the situation that
the line will have to build to Burling-
ton under any circumstances if it is
to be made to pay. Hence Burlington's
patience will probably be rewarded in
time
