A MODEL Of CAUTION.

Yet an Innocent Remark Was the
Cause Of His Death.
The father Of Gueau de Reverseaux
had been distinguished lawyer, and
through his influence he held important
offices under the government. When
the revolution began he gave up his
office at La Rochelle and retired to
Charities.
From the time that the revolution
began Gueau de Reverseaux devoted
his attention exclusively to preserving
his own safety. He wrote no letters.
He would receive no letters. He saw
no visitors and paid no visits. He
spoke to no person and allowed no one
to come near him. It would have been
impossible to be more prudent than he
was.
However, he wanted some sheds built
ON his farm near Chartres and VEN
tured to consult carpenter. The car
penter told him that he could not I'M
dertake the work Immediately, as
Gueau de Reverseaux wished, because
most of his workmen were drafted to
Join the army at once.
Gueau de Reverseaux replied: 1.-The
workmen need not go. They can send
substitutes"
This remark was heard by the work.
men, but only the first phrase made
any impression on them. They reported
everywhere that NJ. Gueau de Rever-
seaux, who must be good authority,
had said that they need not go. The
news went to headquarters that Gueau
de Reverseaux declared that the draft
ed workmen need not obey the gov
eminent. This was considered to be
conspiracy, and he was condemned to
death and executed.

He Never Came Back.

One of the cleverest swindles
worked in this state was perpetrated
by man who gave the name of Fred
Nestor. He was working on farm
near Chaffee and left the impression
he owned $1,000 worth of property in
Fargo and Moorhead. He became Ill
and the physicians said 1t was typhoid.
Nestor made will in which liberal
provisions were made for the farmer
and the doctor and during his illness
he received the best possible care.
After his convalescence money was
advanced Nestor, and finally he left
the place, saying he was going to
Fargo to get money to reimburse his
benefactors. He never came back
It is claimed that he got about 5000.

Farmers Indignantly Protest.

Many farmers over the state are in
dignant over the report that the ap-
praisers at New York have issued an
order admitting frosted wheat from
Canada to the United States on a 10
per cent duty. instead of the usual 20
per cent duty. A protest will be made
by the North Dakota delegation in
congress against the ruling and an ef-
fort made to have the duty strictly en-
forced. The order was alleged to
have been issued on frosted wheat UNI
fit for human food. This is regarded
as furnishing a loophole for many
gross violations of the law. Farmers
in some sections of the state will prob.
ably hold mass meetings to protest
against the ruling.

to forego the publication Of the docu'

offered him the enormous sum Of
100000 to do this. As Connolly
waited for the answer, Mr.. Jones said;
"'I don't think the devil will ever

graphic picture Of what one could

Fort Dodge Police, and County
Authorities Determined to
Locate Guilty Party
NEAR STREET CAR CROSSING
There Was Enough of tho Explosive,
Which Was Under Tree, to Wreck
a Large BuiIding-sticks May Have
Been Left at coaIviIIe BY Anar-
chists iowa News.
Special to Times-hepublican.

Fort Dodge. Sept. 23.--The authori-
ties here are mystified by the finding
of three big sticks of dynamite near
the street car crossing at Coalville
yesterday. There was sufficient guam
tity of the explosive to wreck a large
building and the purpose of the per-
son who deposited the dynamite where
it was found can only be conjectured.
Had children or irresponsible parties
accidentally CHANGED to find them and
used hasty methods in determining as
to their contents, an awful carnage
would have resulted.
Who put the sticks under the tree
and how long they have been there, is
mystery which will probably never
be solved. 1t is impossible to surnise
that they were left under the tree for
some legitimate purpose, and then
forgotten, for no sane person would
put anything of such an explosive
nature In such a place.
The police and county authorities are
determined to discover if possible who
was guilty of such negligence. There
is no clue as yet except the conjecture
that Fort Dodge may be housing some
rank anarchists who secured the sticks
for criminal purposes. They are too
dangerous for anyone to have COM
mitted such an action for a joke.

FARMER A SUICIDE
Cut Throat From Ear to Ear With Ra
zor - Thomas Barton, of Durango
Ends His Life in Fit Of Despond-

Special to Times Republican.
Dubuque, Sept. 23.-Despondent be-
cause of long illness that maze MIN
temporarily insane, George Barton,
farmer residing with his parents near
Durango, this county, committed sui
eide by cutting his throat with ra-
zor at his home about noon Wednes-
day. He died almost instantly.
Barton was about SO years old and
had lived with his parents on farm
near Durango for many years. Early
in the spring he was taken sick, and
had been unable to do any work all
summer. He was able to be amout the
house. but seldom went anywhere. 1t
was noticed that for the past month
he was growing respondent and at
times appeared to be mentally unbal-
anced, but his parents never thought
he would take his life.
During the past few days he had act
ed strangely, but gave no hint that
he contemplated suicide. Wednesday
when the other members Of the family
were in the house Barton secured a
razor, and going out into the yard cut
his throat from ear to ear. He fell to
the ground and bled to death. One of
the members of the family, happening
to go out into the yard, discovered the
body of the suicide lying on the ground.
Life was extinct when the body was
found. The suicide cut a terrible cash
in his throat the head being partially
decapitated.
Coroner Hoar was notified and went
out to hold an inquest.
