SUICIDE ess.
AT EUGENE

The usual Tranquility of Fairmount
was thrown into turmoil Monday ev,
ening about 1880 o'clock by a tragedy
enacted in an humble cottage within
its precincts.

happened to be visiting the Kemerys
at the time, rushed into the room but
the unfortunate man was beyond all
human aid.
A Register reporter, In response to
a telephone message. found his way
to the home. A knot OF neighbors
standing in awe4stricken silence on
the premises, made way and we en-
tered. Three little children of the
suicide sat huddled together in one
chair, the picture Of mute. wild-eyed
helplessness. Several neighbor wo-
men surrounded the chair Of the be-
reft wife and mothep and mingled
their tears with hers in silent sym
patty. II was a scene we'll calculated
TO stir the lnnermost feelings of the
most cynical observer.
In the next room lay the suicide, in
a pool OF blood, with a group Of neigh
bors discussing the tragedy in excit.
ed whispers, forming a semi-circle
Earound the body.
Deceased during the evening had
harbored the delusion that some one
was seeking to do him bodily harm
He conhded his fears to Mr.. Phette-
place that he had a presentiment that
an enemy was lurking about the prem.
Uses. He appeared greatly excited,
and continued to pace up and down
the room. mumbling to himself. Mr..
P~hetteplace endeavored to reassure
him. but to no avail. Finally the de-
mented man made a dash into the
next room, and the tragedy immedi-
ately followed,
Deceased was In good circum-
stances, and had resided In Paramount
about four years. He originally came
from Nebraska, and was a blacksmith
by profession. He was a member of
the Fraternal Tribunes, and held an

"ProOf of the Pudding."

During the past six months, in
York county, there have been to my
knowledge four separate cases where
men desiring life insurance have de-
termined to look before leaping, and
allowed agents Of the various compan-
les every facility for making show
down. The MUTUAL BENEFIT was
q competitor in each Of the contests,
and each time its policy was selected
and PAID FOR. The amount Of in
surance involved was $4,000. Fur
ther there has never been a contest In
this section, where all the companies
we're on an equal focting, (by this 1
mean where the party who wanted in
surance had entered into no "entang-
ling alliances. with any agent or COM
pany) where the MUTUAL BENEFIT
has entered strictly on its merits and
has not delivered the goods! Dear
Reader, do you imagine that 1t would
be possible for the MUTUAL BENE-
FIT to win EVERY TIME II it was not
"The Best Company and Ssld the Best
PoIicy" The contracts Of all the
companies are good, and are liberal,
especially If not subjected to the try
ing ordeal Of being compared with
those of the MUTUAL BENEFIT.
Test my claim. That's all I ask.
