A GOOD MAN
gone WRONG"

Peoria. His. Feb. 6.-Rey.
George Simmons committed sui
eide during last night by taking
cyanide Of potassium. He was
pastor of the First Baptist church
Of this city, the president of two
savings banks, the. originator of a
substitute for coffee, author of
many religious works, and quite a
prominent lecturer. Recently he
had been selected to manage the
Yates senatorial campaign.
Complaint was made to the
State attorney last Saturday that
Simmons had been corrupting the
minds and morals of members of
the Baptist Boys Brigade.
Editors of the local papers on
Monday told Simmons that they
would not print the facts disclosed
by the complaint if he would leave
town forever within twenty-four
hours, having decided on this
course to protect the regulations
of the boys involved.

MURDOCH ON
THE NAGNATE

Washington, Feb. 6.-During
the railroad debate in the house
today, Congressman Murdock. OF
Kansas, described the modern rail-
road magnate as One who OBJ
structs legislation, is Indifferent
at al times to courts and their
DEGREES; contemptuous to the In
ter-state Commerce Commission
and its orders. Who permits sub
ordinates to work against the
purposes of the electorate by the
unlawful use of legal expenses.
Who seeks affirmation of power
by legislative committees"
He declared the pending bill too
conservative. adding: The rail-
roads dodge from national regula-
ton behind state charters, and
from state regulation behind inter-
state rights. They decree that
certain towns shall prosper and
that others shall decay. They out
rage the helpless with excessive
charges. The pending bill, he
said. would do some good, but
would not reach some of the
wrongs which have been crying
for remedy for forty years.
The house will probably vote on
the bill on Thursday, the 9Th.

ALL KINDS OF LUMBER
ADVANCED In PRICE

Lumber prices have advanced again.
Piece stuff and fencing are $3.50 higher
on the lists Of northern pine manufac-
turcrs, and boards Of all lengths and
sizes are 81 over the former lists
The advance is declared by manufac-
turers to be inevitable under the con-
ditions. The report of invoices taken
Jan. l shows less lumber on hand than
year previous, and the demand this
month has been unusual for midwinter.
The Minnesota and Wisconsin mills
have big trade now in Chicago and
points east of there, where manufac
turers require northern pine, and are
not able to get it anywhere else. There
was some sentiment against the raise
for fear of retarding building opera
ktions, but manufacturers who are ship
ping heavily to factory trade declared
they were already selling above the
list, and the others came into line
Prices are now So to So higher than in
1904, and in the last six or seven years
have almost doubled on cheaper grades
No. 4 boards, which are largely usee
in box-making, used to sell for 81
thousand not SO very long ago. Nov
they cannot be bought for less thar
| the list price of $15.
