fort to end his life. Rider swallow
ed large quantity of Red Seal Lye

him was to burn out the Innings and
tissues of his mouth, throat and
stomach. His last hours were spent
in terrible agony. No hope was Civ

sician, DR.. Schillinger, although the
mans remarkable vitality kept him
alive ninety hours after he swallowed
his deadly dose.
Mr.. Rider leaves three children, be
sides his wife. They are Frank, Jes-
Sc and Clara. There are also several
grandchildren. Before his sickness,
which resulted in dependency and

SUFFERS FROM
KIDNEY TROUBLE
Friends Are Alarmed About the
Condition of Senator AIIi-
son of Iowa.
CONFINED TO HIS HOME
VENERABLE LEGISLATOR is NOW
IN HIS SEVENTY SEVENTH
YEAR AND THIS INCREASES
THE APPREHENSION.
IPuhliSherS' Press

Washington, May 6.-Considerable
uneasiness has been created among
the friends of Senator Allison who
has been confined to mis- rooms for a
week by illness, by the assertion to-
day that he is suffering from kidney
trouble, and that his condition is
more serious than at first supposed.
1t is said that he contracted a severe
cold which settled in his kidneys and
the affection has not readily yielded
TO treatment.
Senator Allison's physician would
say nothing tonight beyond express
sing the opinion that the Senator
will not be able to attend and to-
morrow's session of the Senate as had
been expected.
At Senator Allison's apartments to-
night it was announced that he has
materially improved and his condition
is much better than yesterday.
The apprehension of Mr.. Allison's
friends is increased by the fact that
he is Il years old.

Will Get Acquainted.

At the meeting tonight, it Is not ex-
pected that much will be done. as the
members will spend the time in get
ting acquainted" Routine business
will come up and it is possible that
the matter of constructing the conduit
system on Main street will be discuss
ed. Mayor Zimmerman is anxious to
have this matter come up and be set
tied, before the summer months COM
mence. The conduit system Is be.
ing urged by many members of coun-
Gil. several of the companies operat-
ing overhead poles and wires, and by
the Commercial Club.
The matter of declaring the Fifth
Ward residence ward seems to have
about settled itself, without the aid
of Council. Richard Hassard has clos
ed his place of business and Peter
Lennard is depending upon the Coun-
ty Commissioners for a renewal of
his license. There is a remonstrance
on file with the commissioners which,
it is claimed, contains the signatures
of more than half of the voters in the
ward If this is the case, the ward will
have to be dry for at least two years.
Another important matter will be
the naming of the members to serve
on the sixteen different committees
which have charge of different parts
of the municipal program. There
will be three members on each of the
following committees: Annexation,
finance, claims. streets and alleys, fire
department, public schools, public
lighting and grounds, light, printing
and stationery, railroads, water sup
ply, natural gas, crematory, slaughter
houses, ordinances and franchises, and
select.

Dr.. Lyons Preached Memorial
Sermon to United Presby-
terian Congregation.
DECORATION OF GRAVES
FOLLOWING THE SERVICES A
COMMITTEE WENT TO THE
CEMETERY TO LAY FLOWERS
ON GRAVES OF ABSENT ONES.

Memorial services were held yester-
day at the United Presbyterian
church, the occasion being the last
Sunday that the congregation will oc-
cupy the present church building. The
memorial was for the deceased mem
bers of the church who have died dur
ing the time they were worshipping in
the old building.
The sermon was in the form of a
memorial address and was by the
Rev. DR.. Lyons, the pastor. In
his address, DR.. Lyons eulOgiZed the
dead members, showing their work for
the church and what they have ac-
complished. The pulpit and the choir
loft were beautifully decorated with
cut flowers. After the services were
over, all the members who knew of
any persons who died when members
of this church wrote the names of the
deceased on a Memorial roll and in
the afternoon, a committee went to
Earlham Cemetery and distributed the
flowers over the graves of the absent
ones. A large number of persons
went with this committee and assist
ed in the work. Over fifty graves
were decorated in this way.
Last evening the Rev. Lyons preach
ed the last sermon in the old church.
The text was IF our presence go not
with us, carry us not up hence The
Rev DR.. Lyons mentioned the fact
that the congregation would, on the
following Sunday, begin anew its life
in the beautiful church edifice, the gift
of Daniel G Reid. He spoke of the
work which should be done in the
new church and of the spirit with
which it should be carried through.
There was a large congregation to
hear him.

First InstaIIment of Taxes are

ALL THOSE WHO DO NOT PAY UP
TODAY WILL BE ASSESSED AN
ADDITIONAL TEN PER CENT
OFFICE OPEN TONIGHT.
Today ends the spring ia,

Today ends the spring tax-paying.
The first installment Of 1905 taxes
are due before midnight tonight and
if they are not paid before that time,
they will be placed on the delinquent
list and ten per cent. added as a PEN
atty. The busy day of the season is
expected at the County Treasurer's
office today
Saturday, one of the largest crowds
ever known a ttax-paying time in the
Wayne County Court House, was lined
up before the windows of the treas
urer's office, while the treasurer and
his clerks were busy all day, making
out receipts and taking in the money.
Thousands of dollars were collected
and as much more is expected today.
Many country people were in Satur-
day to settle with the treasurer.
Probably the heaviest mail of the
year will be distributed at the treas
urer's office today. People in other
cities and states, who own land in
Wayne County, write for information
at the last moment, or forget to re-
nit the money until the last day. More
mail is received on the last two or
three days of tax paying time than
during any other month of the whole
year.
Tonight the office of the treasurer
will be open until ten o'clock or later
if there are many persons there who
wish to pay and who came before ten.
The windows will then be closed and
the next three weeks spent in check
ing up the books in readiness to turn
over to the County Auditor, on May 81

tell you that not only am | standing
on my original position as regards
rate legislation, but it seems likely
that Congress will take this position
too The Hepburn bill meets my
views, as | have from the beginning
stated. The Allison amendment is
only declaratory or what the Hep
burn bill must mean supposing it to
be constitutional, and no genuine
friend of the bill can object to it
without stultifying himself. In addi-
tion | should be glad to get certain
amendments such as those commonly
known as the Long and Overman
amendments; but t:ey are not vital,
and even without them the Hepburn
bill with the Allison amendment con-
tains practically exactly what l have
both originally and aIways since ask
ed for, and if enacted into law it will
represent the longest step ever taken
in the direction of solving the railway
rate problem.

THEODORE ROOSEVELT"
Created a oensation.
This statement of the Presidents
position has created something of a
sensation in senatorial circles as it
indicates conclusively that he has
been converted by those who favor a
broad judicial reveiew amendment to
the Hepburn bill and that he does not
favor the Bailey anti-injunction
amendment. which he has been cred
tied with approving for the past three
weeks.
A conference of Democratic Sena-
tors was held to unite the minority in
support Of this arrangement. Mr.. Bal
ley pledged 81 votes for his PROPOSE
ton, all of his associates but Senator
Morgan and Senator Culberson. The
necessary IA Republican votes could
not be secured to make the coalition
effective. The Presidents own utter
ances now prove that he favors the
Overman and not the Bailey amend
ment. The Overman amendment re-
quires five days notice to be given all
interested parties before a temporary
restraining order is issued. 1t is much
less drastic than oTered by Mr.. Bal
ley.

EXPECT STUBBORN FIGHT
WHEN 1T COMES TO A VOTE IN
THE SENATE THERE WILL BE
CONTENTION OVER MANNER
OF VOTING.
Publishers Press1

Washington, May 6.-Senator
Reed Shoots fate as a member of the
Senate chamber is in the balance.
The fight waged against him by the
National League OF Womens organi-
cations is nearing it's end. 1t is expect
ed it will be finally disposed of by the
Senate committee On privileges and
elections on May IS, the date set for
a vote by the committee:
1t appears certain that an adverse
report on the Senator's right to re-
tain his seat in congress will be made
by a majority of the committee. Those
who have concluded that Mr.. Smoot's
qualifications as a senator have not
been impaired by reason of his being
one of the Twelve Apostles of the
Mormon church will make a report
asking that the case be dismissed.
Both sides anticipated the compile
tion of the case during the present
session of congress. Each is equally
certain that the case will be deter
mined to it's satisfaction.
The case has occupied first place
on the calendar of the Senate COM
mittee for nearly three and one half
years. Four bulky volumes of testi-
mony have been taken. Before it is
finally disposed of the case bids fair
to be the cause of one Of the most
stubborn fights ever waged on the
Senate floor.
The fight will be on the question as
vote of the Senate or simply a major
vote ofthe Senate cI simply a major
ity to declare his seat vacant.
