HORRIBLE PLUNGE
TO HIS DEATH
Aged Man Dives Five Stories Over
City Hall Stairs In Philadelphia
VICTIM OF INCURABLE MALADY

Philadelphia, Aug. 4.-One of the
busiest places in Philadelphia's great
sity hall was the scene of a rather SEN
sational suicide. After slowly climbing
to the fifth floor landing of hanging
stairway, an elderly man, supposed to
be William Stott, a resident of West
Philadelphia, threw himself over vhe
railing and plunged 129 feet to the
first floor. Nearly every bone in the
mans body was broken. An examina-
ton by the coroner revealed that the
man was suffering from an incurable
disease, and it is believed his condition
caused hi INTO end his life.
Those who saw him take his death
plunge were Ella Johnson and Mamie
Newman, both colored women. The
two women had just come out OF the
court room when they saw the old man
pacing nervously up and down the fifth
landing. and then dive suddenly below.
Samuel Berger is city hall guide NO.
%. He was standing by the elevator of
the first floor when he was amazed to
hSar a crash behind him, and looking
gled form of the suicide. The brains
had been dashed out and the body was
perfectly limp, going to prove that al
most every bone had been broken.
The news of the plunge of the man
to his death spread over the hall rap
idly, and gave rise to all sorts of tales.
AS soon as Coroner Jermon heard OF
dc
his detective and Gray, one of his dep
uties, on the case.
The man weighed about $50 pounds.
On his breast was a large scar, which
looks as though it was caused by a
burn. He was dressed in black coat
and vest, gray trousers, black shoes
and gray socks, black ana white neck
tie, black and white striped shirt. Two
penknives were found in his pockets.
Stairways like the hanging one in
the city hall are oddities. Strangers
who visit the big municipal building
at Broad and Market streets never
leave without seeing them. For the
first time in their history they have
been the scene of a tragedy.
Guide Berger, besides having thu
body land so close to him, told wha
the sound of the falling body reminded
him Of
LAS the body struck the floor it CAV,
a noise for all the world like the burst
ing of an automobile tire But when

MURDERoUs ASSAULT ON JUDGE
Aged Pittsburg Jurist WayIaid and
Robbed BY Three Thugs.

RODDeo 6y inTee mugs
Pittsburg, Aug. At has just been
learned that Judge William G. Haw-
kins, Jr., of the orphans court, an en-
inent jurist of Allegheny county. was
the victim of a murderous assault by
three footpads near his home in the
fashionable East End on Wednesday
night. Judge Hawkins, 1t appears. was
taking a customary walk near his
home. previous to retiring. when he
was set upon and beaten. He was left
unconscious on the street, but later
regained his senses and managed to
make his way to his home. Robbery
was undoubtedly the motive, as Judge
Hawkins was relieved of a gold watch
of much value and a sum of money.
He is in. critical condition, which
causes anxiety to his family, because
of his advanced years, about 70.
The police recovered Judge Haw
kins watch from a pawn shop, and
later arrested Clark Duffy, Is years
old. From Duffy was secured de
scription of two companions for whom
the police are looking.

Minneapolis Man Uses Affected Arm After Being

Another remarkable cure is added

of a most startling and interesting
experience. Mr.. O'Connor was
stricken with paralysis eight months
ago and has since been unable to
move his right arm.
Much has been heard of the marvel
Gus results accomplished with the
Cooper medicines since the philan-
thropist visited Minneapolis short
time ago and at which time Mr..
O'Connor also heard of and began
using the Cooper remedies.
In his statement he declares: Zone

ceiving sustenance. He has been
discharged from st. Edwards hospi-
tai, where he was operated on about
six weeks ago. Ruby suffered from
an liberation of the stomach, which
caused that organ to shrivel up until
it would not perform it's functions.
Ruby was in danger of starving to
death before he consented to the oper-
alton, which consisted of making an
opening in the abdominal wall below
the stomach. A tube was inserted
and through this tube, with the means
of funnel, Ruby receives his food.

that these are sufficient means of
giving farmers all the instruction thew
need. We admit that farmers are
greatly benefited by these institutions,
but there are thousands of people that
do not avail themselves of these bless
ings, and an education in any science
or calling obtained after years of
maturity is of much less value than
that obtained in childhood or youth.
knowledge obtained in middle life or
after passing the meridian of life is
liable to soon pass from the men,

tanned in early life is retained through

many to educate their children on the
home farm often becomes irksome-a
drudge. This sending of children to
school only few weeks in year and
in haphazard way and keeping them
at hard work on the farm is entirely
wrong. I do not wonder that so manv
leave the farm for the town or city as
soon as they are of age. Give the
boy good education in the school

Minnesota's Cow tuberculosis Law.

A writer, who evidently knows from
actual experience what he is writing
about, has a very pointed communi-
cation in one of the twin city papers
on the state tuberculosis law as effect
ing dairymen and their cattle. He
considers the provision requiring the
inspection of cows from which milk is
sold very good one, and has no
fault to find with the system of con-
demning COWS suspected Of tuberculo-
sis. He thinks, however, that mas
much as it frequently happens that
healthy animals are included among
The Princeton union. [volume] (Princeton, Minn.) 1876-1976, 1906-02-01

the COWS coniscated by the state, the
owner ought to receive something
more than hot air as compensation
for his stock.
AS the law reads the dairyman or
farmer is entitled to two thirds of the
appraised value of the animal con-
demned, which appraised value must
not exceed $35. But here the law
ends, without making any provision
for the money with which to make the
compensation. AS a consequence
many dairymen are still looking in
the almanac for their pay from the
state for animals condemned and con-
fscated more than six months ago.
And then, as to the states method
of disposing of the states confscated
animals, the writer thinks there is
room for Improvement is, if the
public health is the chief desideratum
in the premises.
The states practice of disposing of
all diseased and condemned cattle to
the Swift & Co.'s packing houses at
South St. Paul, to be used for beef,
bologna or glue, as an inspector on
the premises may determine, is apt to
result in confusion sometimes, dis
eased carcasses being likely to stray
from the glue kettle to the sausage
block and vice versa.
The writer's idea seems to be that
an animal taken from the farmer or
dairyman because of it's diseased con-
dition should hardly be allowed to
make it's appearance in a respectable
meat packing establishment.
Incidentally the writer remarks that
he hasn't noticed any falling off in
the price of glue since the state began
hauling other peoples cattle to the
South st. Paul butchery.
Taken altogether the writer's article
is quite "meaty. "-Anoka Free Press.
