ATTEMPTS
SUICIDE

Sarah Flfnts sister Of Ada Flint,
who committed suicide at her home
near Salem this week by cutting her
head half off with razor, and whose
brother, E. B. Flint, suicided here
March 2 last by cutting his throat
with razor, made second attempt
to kill herself Friday.
Earlier in the week, crazed with
typhoid fever, she escaped from her
nurse and jumped into a water well
and was rescued with difficulty.
A pair of sheep shears was found
under her pillow Friday. She had
used the same shears before in an
attempt at self-destruction.
OF this there was evidence. Her
throat bore plain marks of her sem
sational second trial, on the day on
which the funeral of her sister, Ada
Flint, took place. The girl was un-
able to attend the obsequies.
Every precaution is being taken to
prevent her from repeating the SEN
sational attempt.

by his head. AT the time the shot
was fired White was attempting to

dorsed as surety for Wolfe. The
note was about due and White IS

clined to do so, and, after some
words between them, the assault was
made.

back and shot at White, but the bull

RAISING.
OF Money Orders Will Soon
Be a BygOne 0c-
cupati0n.

The Government has hit upon a
scheme to reduce to a minimum the
raising of money orders and if bust
ness people generally exercise mere
~ ordinary precaution there is no
reason why they should be cheated
out of very much in cashing money
orders for strangers i'm the future.
The idea lies in new form of money
order a batch of which was for the
first time put into use in the local
postoflice recently. The maximum
limit of money order is as always
500. In the past if an order for %
cents were secured an expert could
raise it to within a few cents IF 500
and have it cashed. From now on
those who secure money orders will
notice on the lefthand margin num-
erals running up to 100. The highest
number shown indicates the highest
amount for which the order may be
issued. For instance if an order
is issued originally for $3.50 the
highest numerals on the lefthand
margiu will be 800" indicating that
even if the order is raised it cannot
go beyond this and therefore the
manipulation will only get a very few
dollors for his trouble.

PRECOCIOUS INDIANA.
Voted For President Before She
Was Admitted Into
the Union.
Hartford Courant.l

Monday was the eighty-ninth an
niversary of Indiana's admission to
the Union, and the occasion recalls
the fact that Indiana has the unique
distinction of having voted for Pres
ident before it became a member of
the family of States. In June, 1916,
Indiana adopted a state constitution,
but was not admitted to the Union
until December IL. In the mean
time, on November 4. the first Leg
islature met at Gordon. lndianians
have been precocious from the first,
and the members of this Legislature
had no thought of letting little
matter like the fact that what they
called the State was not really
State interfere with their voting
for James Monroe and Daniel ID.
Tompkins for President and Vice
President. respectively. As the In
dianapolis News, which tells the
story, puts it, Indiana politicians
wanted to get in on the ground
floor.
On November II, exactly a month
before Indiana was admitted to the
Union, the Legislature adopted a
joint resolution. That it was eXpe-
dent to provide at this time for the
election of three Electors to vote for
President and Vice President of the
United States Of America at the en-
suing Presidential election. This
was approved by the Governor, and
two days later Jesse S. Holman, Cen
eral Joseph Bartholomew and Thos.
II. Blake were chosen Electors by
the Legislature, this being the meth
cd in all the States at that time.
While these Electors were chosen
before the State was admitted, their
vote was not cast until few days
after the admission. Indiana's right
to vote was disputed when the Ma
tio1al House and Senate met to open
and count the votes, but the new
State finally won the decision.

Deafness Cannot be- Cured

Deafness Cannot be- Cured
by locol applications, as they canno
reach the diseased portion of the ear
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
infamed condition of the mucous
lining of the Enstachian Tube.
When this tube is infamed you have
a rumbling sound or imperfect hear
ing, and when it is entirely closed,
Deafness is the result, and unless
the inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed
forever; nine cases out of ten are
caused by Catarrh, which is nothing
but an infamed condition of the
mucous surface.

THE UNDER MARRIAGE.
Wedding Customs and FrOltCS
That Prevail in HOl-
land.

In Holland two weeks before a
marriage takes place cards are sent
out declaring that the banns have
been published. This is called an
under marriage" The card also
announces when the final marriage
is to take place. The wedding it.
self is a small affair, and the civil
marriage is the only one recognized
by law. A church wedding is usu-
ally looked upon as a concession to
either fashion or sentimentality and
is called a "consecration of the mar
riage." The couple enter the
church behind the family members,
bridesmaids and other attendants.
They are shown to seats before the
whole assembly, and the clergyman
comes in with two witnesses long af-
ter the others have been seated. He
first makes prayer, then delivers
sermon on a suitable text, which
usually brings the bride to tears.
After that the couple are married.
Then a HYMN is sung and the blessing
given. The whole occupies about
an hour and a quarter. Before leav-
ing the church huge Bible is pre-
scented to the bridegroom. During
the two weeks of waiting between
the under marriage" and the real
marriage all the wedding festivities
take place. The happy couple are
literally surfeited with dinner, balls
and theater parties and all manner
of practical jokes are played on the
pair. AT the dinner toasts innumer-
able are given and at each the whole
company rises from the table to
sound and touch glasses with the
bride and groom; who never rise.
Among their friends the idea is not
to allow the couple night of sleep,
if possible before the wedding day.
