Hicks For September.

The storm period beginning on the 4th
and extending to the 10th promises to
bring many prolonged and severe per-
turbations. The next storm period ex-
tends from the 10Th to the 21st. What
ever character of storms are in progress
during this period, from Sunday the 18th
to Wednesday the 21st will be the cul-
minating crises. In every probability a
rushing high barometer, violent north
westerly gales, and change to almost cold
will spread over the country from the
northwest, as the storms of this period
give place to the high barometric area
pushing close behind them.
A regular Vulcan storm period is CEN
trail on the 10Th, extending from the
9th. two or three days into October. AS
we enter this period the barometer will
fall, the temperature will again raise to
quite warm, and scattering storms will
be advancing eastward over the country
about the 10Th and 3Oth.

Suicide In a Cemetery.

Edwin G.. Johnson, for many years
proprietor of the Grand and later of the
Myers hotel at GAINESVILLE, was found
dead on his cemetery lot in Johnstown
Wednesday morning. Mr.. johnson and
wife have been living with their daught-
er, Mrs. Famous, at Fond du Lac since
the close of the Myers nearly a year ago.
He left that city Tuesday, coming to
Milton junction, where he mailed let
ter to his brother at GAINESVILLE, saying the
writer's body would be found on the 'sonly
piece of ground he owned in the world
in the cemetery at Johnstown." On re-
ceipt of the letter friends communicated
with MIR. Pember of Johnstown to con-
firm their f. s.
It was ne. eight o'clock when Mr..
Pember reached the Johnstown lot to
find that the story of the letter was all
too true. Lying with his face toward
the sky, his right hand claspipg a re-
volver resting upon his breast, and bull
let wound in his right temple, was the
man whom relatives in two cities were
anXiously seeking. From every appear
ance the act had been committed while
he was in a sitting posture and he had
fallen backyard, dying without strug-
gle. Mr.. Pember examined the revolver
He found it to be of % calibre with two
of the chambers empty. No evidence of
the other shot, however, could be found.
The remains were taken to GAINESVILLE
where funeral services will be held. FL
nancial troubles are supposed to be the
cause of Mr.. johnson desiring to take
his own life. He was man of pleasant
disposition, who made friends with
everyone and his long connection with
the hotel business brought him a large
acquaintance, who will sincerely regret
his sad and pathetic ending. He is sur
vived by his aged mother, brother, Fl.
S. johnson, wife and three children,
Harry B., who lives in GAINESVILLE, Len E.,
living at Denver, and Mrs. Ranous at
Fond du Lac.
