GEORGE WOOD TRIES
TO KILL HIMSELF
MAKES THREE DESPERATE At
TEnPTS TO END HIS LIFE,
BUT FAILS.

Stevensville, April 14.-George
Wood, a we'll known resident of the
Bitter Root valley, who has large
number of acqualntances in Hamilton,
made three desperate efforts to end his
life Friday night.
His first attempt was by the paris
green route and he came very near
making a success of it. He swallowed
trifle over half teaspoonful of the
poison when he was discovered. When
offered relief, he fought desperately
and would not permit any one to go
near him. DR.. Kellogg of Stevensville
was summoned and with the aid of
others succeeded in chloroforming
Wood so that a stomach pump might
be used on him.
This was successfully accomplished
and within Il short time the man be-
gan to revive.
He then went after carbolic acid
bottle, which he had hidden away, and
informed those nearby that he was
going to complete the job anyway,
but the poison was taken from him be-
fore he could do any harm.
A third attempt to end his life was
tried with the aid of gun, but this
was also taken away from him.
George Wood is a man of about IS
years of age and has been a resident
of the Burnt Fork district for a mum
Der of years, where he has successful
| ly operated a farm. He has wife and
three children.
The doctors are now keeping con-
stant watch over him, as he is in a
pr ecarious condition and NAV die at
ny time from the effect OF the poison
which he took.
No motive can be assigned for his
rash attempts at self-distruction other
| than that he has a violent temper and
| practically loses his mind when he be-
comes aroused.

WALL STREET OPERATIONS.

NEW YORK, May 10. - Declining
speculative interest and narrowing price
fluctuations are reflected in the weak's
operations in Wall Street. This is at
tributed largely to the normal working
out of the stock market adjustment to
conditions caused by the San Francisco
losses. The forces working for recovery
from the acute depression following that
event are believed to have spent their
force. There is some renewal Of solici-
tude ovr the money outlook. The terms
of the Pennsylvania $50,OOo,OOO loan for
eighteen months served to center atten-
tion on the subject and the renewal of
the currency movement to San Fran
cisco gave it added influence on senti-
ment.

Effort Being Made to Reorsanize
Consular Service.
EFFICIENCY WILL COUNT
Merit System of Promotion in Consular
Service Opposed by Congressman
Who Use Service to Reward
Local Politicians.

CHICAGO. May "A dispatch to the
Record Herald from Washington, says;
Secretary Root intends to undertake
the reorganization OF the consular
service as soon rs the new law for that
purpose goes into effect on the first OF
July. and so far rs it will permit, he
will apply the merit system to all pro
motions. In the original bill submitted
by him to congress il was provided that
all appointments should be made to the
lowest grade as in the army and navy,
after an examination to determine the
qualifications of the applicant and that
all vacancies in the upper grades should
be filled by the promotion of those who
had shown the highest degree OF useful
ness and efficiency. Neither the senators
nor the representatives would permit
this, because the consular service Is
about all that is left for them to reward
local politicians They struck out that
provisions and also another of equal i'm
portance which gave the Secretary OF
State power to transfer consults from
one place to another according to his
Judgment of their fitness and the re.
quirements of the service. Therefore,
under the new law, as at present, when.
ever transfer is made new nomina-
ton must be sent up to the Senate for
confirmation.
In the reorganization Secretary Root
proposes to carry out the spirit Of his
original proposition as far as possible,
and hereafter all vacancies in the
higher consulates are to be filed by
promotion and all original appointments
are to be made to the lower grade. An
examination will be required to ascertain
the qualifications of the candidate and
he must be able to speak the language OF
the country to which he is going, except
China, Japan, Turkey and other oriental
countries. In such exceptions the can
didate must be able to speak French.
This rule will be applied in promotions
also.
