AGED LADY
ENDS her
OWN LIFE

Bridget MoMann, aged about 66, ana
one OF the best known women OF Phil
lipsdale. was found dead in a trench near
the Glenlyon dye works at an early hour
this morning and there Is no doubt In
the minds of the medical examiner. @. b
Alliston and Dr. Hammill. who has been
attending her for some time, but what the
old lady ended her own life
Mrs. McMann has been suffering with
Bright's disease for some time and
neither she nor her friends had hardly
hoped for her recovery. She retired IA
usual, last evening. leaving her daughter
and son-in-law. Charles Mccarthy In
the lower portion OF their home. The old
lady had not been In bed many moments
when Mr. Mccarthy heard al oud noise In
her room. and upon going into the room.
found the old lady had fallne from her
bed and had sustained slight wound
upon her forehead.
Mr. Mccarthy ana his wife cared for
her and remained by her bedsire until
o'clock this morning. AT that time. she
was sleeping peacefully. 20 Mr.. and Mrs.
Mccarthy retired for the night. ana when
he arose, this morning. he told his wife
TO go TO her mothers room TO see how
she was.
Upon Mrs. Mccarthy opening the door
she found that her mother was not there.
Mr.. Mccarthy informed his neighbors OF
ttns fact and a search for the old lady
was at once Instituted.
About this time some one came from the
dye works and informed them that a body
was floating In the trench near the dye
house and this proved to be the body OF
Mrs. McMann.
The water is less than two feet deep
where the body was found. which would
Indicate that the old lady TO end her ter
rible suffering took her own life. Medical
Examiner Alliston was at once notified
and said that IL was a case OF suicide.

CONVENTION
TOOK RECESS
Continued from page one.


1t was said today on excellent authority
that Mr. Bryan would make his greatest
effort before the convention In speaking
10 a minority report from the committee
on credentials. He has secured the proxy
OF Mr. Casper, the Nebraska member OF
the committee and will himself present
the minority report.
At the same time IL Is understood that
he will not attempt TO fight the report Of
the committee on resolutions.
WORK ON PIATFORMh z
The subcommittee of the committee on
resolutions continued its work on the
platform today, but was Glow in getting
down 10 business.
Mr.. Bryan and one or two other mem
bers were absent. but the commit
tee decided Ia proceed In their
absense with the consideration OF
questions In which they are not specially
concerned. Accordingly an irrigation
plank, presented by Newlands, was ten
tatively accepted.
The consideration OF the proposed state
hood declaration was then entered on
and the question discussed at length.
plank for separate statehood for each OF
the territories was inserted.
During the forenoon former Senator
Towne was admitted to the committee

5000 persons requesting tho insertion OF
a plank declaring for the Independence
OF tho Philippines when prepared for self
government. The committee agreed on
