Indianapolis, Ind, Dec. 3-Driven to
desperation by slanderous stories, Miss
Burley MCGOWAN, 16 years DID,, and
prominent in church circles, chose death
to prove their falsity. She committed
suicide last night, after listening to
neighbours report of the gossips tales.
Before swallowing poison she left q note
leading to proof that the slanderous
stories were without foundation.
Miss MCGOWAN had worked zealously
in the church for the last two years and
was regarded highly. Some weeks ago
scandalous stories began to circulate
among the congregation. They did not
reach her ears until late last evening.
Instantly she sought the home of a

she left, seemingly calmer.
On her way home she stopped at a
drug store and purchased a quantity Of
strychnine, which she swallowed just as
she entered her home. She died in
commissions soon after. .s.
A love affair also is thought to have

LAWYERS BOUND TO MEET
Procurator's Action Does Not Stop
st. Petersburg Bar.

st. Petersburg, Dec. 5.-The marked
independence of the attitude Of vari-
GUS classes since the zemstvos meeting
is illustrated by the action taken by
the Bar association to-day on the oc-
casion of the anniversary Of the codifi-
cation Of the laws under Alexander II.
The association assembled at the regu-
lar hall set apart for this purpose by the
government, but found the doors closed
by the order Of the procurator of the
court of appeals. Thereupon the 300
members marched up Newsky Prospect
to the town hall. There the president
declined to preside, declaring that the
meeting was illegal, but the members
refused to dispense, elected chairman
and passed a resolution consuming the
prosecutor, which will be officially
lodged with Interior Minister
Sviatopolk- Mirsky. The nthe associa-
ton entered into general discussion of
the causes why many of the laws passed
forty years ago remained dead letters
and adopted resolutions declaring that
the laws could not be in living force and
protect citizens against misrule until
the inviolability of domicile and free
dom Of the press, conscience and asso-
citation were guaranteed.

Some years ago while at work, fell
over truck and severely injured both
of my shins. My blood became poisoned
as result, and the doctor told me I
would have running sores for life, and
that if they were healed up the result
would be fatal. Under this discouraging
sorted to the use of S. S. S. Its effects
were prompt and gratifying. It took
only a short while for the medicine to en-
tirely cure up the sores, and T am not

A special from Washington
to the Parkersburg State Jour-
nal Tuesday evening contains
the following interesting polit-
ical story:
Senator Stephen B. Elkins OF
West Virginia, is willing to ac-
cept the second place on the
national republican ticket, and
that he will be placed there is
almost a foregone conclusion.
In fact your correspondent be-
lieves he could come very close
to securing first place, although
he has no authority from the
senator himself to say this.
He is recognized in Washing
ton and New York and in fact
all over the country, as not
only splendid statesman, Lut
a sound and con sentative bust
ness man, to whom could be
trusted the reins of government
with certainty that they would
be safe in his hands. No man
has risen i'm the estimation of
the American public in the last
few years, as has Mr. Elkins,
with the possible exception +
Senator Hanna and it is well
known that the latter could
have been the republican nom
inee for president this year had
he said he would accept and had
he lived.
OF course Mr.. Elkins has long
been held high in public esteem
but it may be said that not until
lately did he loom up as Presi-
Dental material. The death of
Hanna, lamented by Mr.. Tx
ms and all his friends, without
any thoughts o. sordid or politi-
cal gain, has naturally and in
evitably Injured to the benefit
of the West Virginian. He is
the man to whom the whole
country is now turning to take
the place of the splendid gentle
man who was looming up into
such extraordinary prominence
when the hand Of death was
laid upon him. Elkins was al
ready at great stature, but he
is now of sheer necessity the
leading figure in Am rican
politics. This is shown by the
attitude of the great dailies TO-
wards him, both Of his own
political views and Of opposing
