MORSE SUICIDES.
A Prominent Citizen Blows
Off His Head With a
Shot Gun.
The Rash Act Committed In
His Own Room at
Home.

AT 80 this afternoon shot rang out
in one of the bed rooms Of the Morse
cottage on Euclid avenue. Upon in
vestigation James w. Morse was found
weltering in his own blood, all of his
head above his lower jaw blown off,
his brains spattered on the ceiling, and
an empty shot gun lying near.
His agonized wife Immediately sum-
moned help and the coroner's inquest
is III progress as we go to press.
1t is undoubtedly a case of suicide
with no cause given for the act except
sickness of two weeks duration.
Mr.. Morse was an old time resident
of Pierre and up to January had held
the Office of clerk of the courts for ten
years. lie was prominent in business
and fraternal affairs, being a leading
member of the Masonic and other or

Doubts the Story.

Aberdeen News: 1t is too bad, for the
Mitchell papers, that Charles B. Wolf, OF
the Alton, Iowa, Democrat, did not visit
Pierre during the capital campaign, for
this is what he says of a recent visit to
the state capital:
1t was past midnight and darker than
a rat hole in hades when we reached our
destination. Two OF us blew of the
sidewalk and into mud puddle upside
down, ankle deep, and my hat lit in Ne
braska. Around Fort Pierre the at
mosphere is always moving. a man
laid down out there on the prairie with
his feet to the wind and it blew his
boots up his legs until his feet pushed
through the soles. A friend of mine
blew back and forth in front of the
postotfice for half day, trying to
mail letter.
Come to think about it though, the
mud puddle part of the story would
have spoiled it for Mitchell's use. for
the people of that enterprising town
claimed that it did not rain enough in
the Pierre country to make a mud
puddle.

Do you remember the little things that
gave us SO much pleasure when we were
young? With what zest did we sit down to
the table after our play was over and eat the
mush and milk our mother put before us.
But as we get older it takes more to give
us pleasure. Mush and milk no longer
tastes good to us, and our digestion may be
impaired. The best advice we can give to
such person is to tone up the stomach with
DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery It
is natures most valuable and health giving
agent-rnade without the use of alcohol It
contains roots, herbs and barSs and is the
concentration of natures vitality as found
in the fields and woods. This remedy has
a history which speaks we'll for il because
it was given to the public by DR.. R. v
Pierce, founder of the Invalids' Hotel and
Surgical Institute, at Buffalo, N Y. nearly
forty years ago. and has since been sold by
druggists in ever increasing quantities.
Some medicines, tonics or compounds, en-
JOY large sale for few years, then disap-
pear from the public attention, but Dr.
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery has
proved such a reliable blood remedy and
tonic that it often enjoys the confidence of
several generations in family, and its in
creased sales year by year coming from the
recommendations of those who have tried
it, prove its lasting merit, so that every
bottle bears the stamp of public approval.
Every other blood-maker and tonic for the
stomach that we know of contains alcohol,
but DIR, Pierce guarantees that no alcohol
is contained in his Medical Discovery"
