EDITOR AYERS DEAD.
NEarsha!ltown Man Ends His Own
Life

4 dispatch from Narsiailtown, Ia,
says that Il profound sensation WAS
caused there Thursday afternoon by the
suicide Of s. +. Ayres, editor of the Mar
shalltown Herald, a prominent citizen and
well known in the state. His dead body
was discovered i'll an clubhouse at his home
shortly after noon by his son. \ revolver
at his side and bullet wound in his head
told the cause of death. IN his desk the
following note was found explaining the
reason for his act:
Il have suffered on and On since I was
hurt, hoping to fully recover, but see no
hope now, as paralysis and perhaps loss
of reason, is threatened. If | cannot be Il
help, | cannot become burden
About year ago Ayres was attacked
by burglars as he was passing dark
alley in Marshalltown. He grappled with
his assailants, and was shot in the back
of the head. The bullet made apparently
a slight wound, and the doctors said It
was not serious. Ayres said himself he
never fully recovered.
Ayres at one time was county attorney
of Clarke County, and has published pa
peTs ut Atlantic and Knoxville.

STEAMER GOES DOWN
PROBABLY 100 LIVES LOST IN
THE ENGLISH CHANNEL.
Caught in a Fierce Storm-Vessel
Crushed on Reef Off the Jarden
Light House-Some OF the Lost
Were Prominent People.

A London special says: The South
western Railways cross channel steamer
Hilda was wrecked Sunday morning off
st. Malo, on the north coast of France,
and it is believed that 100 or more passen-
gers and crew were drowned. The Hilda
left Southampton Friday night for st.
Malo with considerably more than 100
delayed by fog in the channel, and when
nearing St. MalO she ran into a severe
snow storm, apparently missed her
course. and foundered on the rocks off
Jarden lighthouse, three miles from st.
Malo
The companys steamer Ada, outward
from st. Malo, rescued five passengers
and one Of the crew. These are now on
the way to Southampton.
There is an unconfrmed report that
seventy had been saved.
The crew numbered twenty-siX, and
there were about hundred passengers,
all Frenchmen, the majority being onion
dealers from st. Braie and neighborhood.
\ telegram from st. Servan, adjoining
the town of St. Malo, gives the few de-
tails available.
The Hilda was near ST. Malo Satur-
day morning. She struck the rocks at
o'clock Sunday morning in the road
stead off the island of Cezambre, having
missed the tide owing to bad weather and
fog. The majority of the crew and pas
sengerS were asleep at the time. Two
boats We're lowered, one of which, con-
tanning five men, arrived at st. Servan.
The second boat was picked up empty at
st. Cart, where thirteen bodies were
washed ashore. The top of the Hilda's
funnel and her mast are visible at low
tide, according to the telegram from st.
Servan.
The Hilda was built ut Glasgow in
1882 and registered S4S tons. She was Il
