PRODIGY KILLS SELF.
Tired of Life at IS, Richard E. Murphy
of Kansas City Ends Remark
able Career.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Nov. o.
Tired of life at the age of Is, Richard
Emmett Murphy, a travelling salesman,
ended what had been remarkable ca
reer here Saturday, when, after writing
a number of letters, he turned on the
gas jet in his room and lay down to die.
No cause for his act could be learned.
He first attracted attention when ne
was 10 years old by starting paper IN
jefferson City, Mo-, where his father
was a printer. The paper was a success
in a way and the youthful editor was
hailed as prodigy.
After young Murphy's family had re-
moved from Jefferson City to st. Joseph,
Md. he again sprang into prominence,
but not to his credit. After securing
position as messenger In Dank, ne
made a successful robbery and was able
to secure considerable money on forged
papers. He was sent to the state re-
formatory at Boonvllle. -,
Leaving his fathers home while still
wearing knickerbockers, he Travelled
throughout the country with no other
capital than his own ready wit and OAR
ing. At New York he stopped at the
best hotels.
In the room of the suicide an open
his act than worry and unhapplness was
given. The letter referred to the time
when he ran a paper, and is as follows:
To the Gentlemen of the Press OF han1
sas City and Other Cities-Gentlemen: l

GERMAN BOOM is FAILING
Private Investors, Who Kept Out of Spec
ulation, Now Joined by Bankers,
Fearing Collapse

BERLIN, Nov. 24-Although Ger
many is on the top wave of prosperity,
skepticism is increasing and the public
has kept aloof from speculative invest
ments in industrial stocks, notwith-
standing the continued publication of I'M
usually brilliant annual reports. This at
titude is beginning to gain the support
of the manufacturers and bankers who,
being behind the scenes, express fears
that the boom has already exhausted
itself Reasons given are dearness of
money, high prices and wages, and ex-
pensive operations.
The general conclusion which seems
justified is that Germany's industrial
situation is still thoroughly sound and
that prosperity will continue, although
the rate of expansion may be decreased
through inability to obtain additional
capital. Bankers do not expect the
usual improvement in the money situa-
ton after January 1. It is felt that much
depends upon the developments in New
York.

Note in Glass Ends the Old Puzzle Over
the Death of Sawyer (Wis.)
Girl.

ST. JOSEPH, Mich, Nov. 24.-[Spe-

with slime. containing a note, put an
end to the puzzle surrounding the death
of Olive Templeton, a beautiful Wis
consin coed at the Adventist school at
Berrien Springs, who disappeared in a
binding snowstorm during February of
1905.
The note places her death in the list
of suicides. Miss Templeton's body was
not found for several months. It then
was discovered in st. Joseph river, in

One theory was that she had been
killed by a jealous lover.
Miss Templeton's home was in Saw

searches were conducted for her, dropped
and then resumed.
