SHOCKING TRAGEDY
AT DELTA LAST NIGHT
Mayor Hunt. Prominent Citizen and
Leading Business Man, Dies by
His Own Hand.

Frank P. Hunt, Mayor of Delta and
one of the best known and most highly
esteemed citizens of this community,
killed himself some time last night be-
tween the hours of II p. m. and morn
ing. by shuoting himself in the mouth
with 3s calibre Colts revolver.
The community was intensely shocked
by the announcement and this rash act
by SO good man as Mr.. Hunt is deeply
deplored by everybody.
Mr.. Hunt did not put in an appear
ance at his place of business this morn
ing at the accustomed hour and when
Mr.. w. b. Stockham went to the store
about $50 a. m. he was informed Of
Mr.. Hunts non arrival Mr.. Stockham
felt immediate alarm, as he knew his
business associate was suffering great
mental anguish on account of recent
family trouble, and had heard him
threaten to commit suicide within the
last few days. He went to Mr.. Hunt S
room over the First National Bank,
but was unable to gain admittance.
Securing a ladder he climbed up and
looked through the transom. His worst
fears were quickly confirmed by the
awful sight that met his eyes. Mr..
Hunt was lying on the bed, the mask
of death being plainly apparent on his
features and grasped in both hands
pointing toward the mouth was the
weapon that had already done its deadly
work. Mr.. Steckham notified his
brother, DIR. A. II. Stockham. and they
in turn no otified the officials.
A coroners' jury was Immediately
impannelled and after hearing evidence,
returned the following verdict:
Death by gun shot wound. pre-
sumably inflicted by his own hand"
The jurymen were: l. N. Hunter.
II. J. Baird, Porter Plumb, w. A.
Shepherd, H. X. Gibbs and George c.
Wilson.
On desk in the dead Mayors room
the following note was found addressed
to Doctor. WILL" meaning Doctor
A. II. and w. r. Stockham. business
associates of MIR. Hunt. The note is as
follows:
Doctor. Will: am sorry. can't
stand the strain on me; it's dreadful
and there is no one to care now.
FRANK.
Jack Smith has not been charged to
last car of sewer pipe "
Mr.. Hunt had been recently divorced
from his wife and the agony of this
separation had doubtless unbalanced his
mind.
He presided at the Council meeting
last night and his last earthly service
was rendered for the municipality which
had twice honored him with the chief
Office within the gift of its citizens He
had been citizen of Delta for - years
and was SO years.
Delta sincerely mourns the death of a
warm hearted. public spirited man
whose absence from the business COM
munity will be severely felt and whose
advice and counsel in public affairs can
i'll be spared.

BRAKEMAN KILLED.
Son Of Engineer wetheral Meets
Death at EstherviIIc, Iowa.

Leo. Wetheral, the "a year old
son of Engineer Wetheral, was killed
in the Rock Island yards at Esther
Vile last Sunday afternoon. No one
saw the accident 80 it is not known
just how it occurred. He WAS found
in an unconscious condition on the
ground near the caboose Of his train,
and did not regain consciousness
before his death, which occurred
Sunday evening. When last seen
alive young Wetheral was climbing
the ladder outside of the oaboose but
none saw him fall, although this
was the only way in which the &C.
cident could be accounted for.
The funeral was held on Wednes-
day at Estherville, where the Weth-
eral family still reside. They have
the heartfelt sympathy of large
circle of friends, both here and at
Estherville, in their sad bereave-
ment. Richard Wetheral, the father
of the deceased, last week took the
Lake Park run on the Rock Island,
and expects to move his family to
Worthington about april 1st.

Pavilion Assured.

The committee of the Chautauqua
Association having in charge the
raising Of funds for a pavilion at
the city park, to be used for the
Chautauqua ssembly and other oc-
casions, have been more successful
than was anticipated, and have se-
cured subscriptions to the amount of
$1,7O0. The city council recently
appropriated $500 towards the pro-
ject, making $4,000 now in sight.
It will be comparatively easy to
raise enough more to make the total
$25vo, and this will insure pavil-
lion that will accommodate the Chau.
tauqua assemblies for years come,
therby ins uring the permanence Of
the Chauauqua and the sate and
comforta BILE accommodations OF it's
patrons. The executive committee Of
the Chautauqua association held a
meeting on Wednesday evening to
consider plans for the pavilion.

Minnesota State Sunday School
Convention.

What promises t o be the best Sur
day School meeting ever held in the
state, is the State Sunday School
Convention which will gather in
Minneapolis Wednesday, Thursday
and Friday, April 10, 11and IL.
The talent secured for this meet
ingsis better than has ever before
faced Minnesota audience of Sun.
day School workers, and the pro-
gram provided is superior to any
yet offered. The plan of the state
officers has been to secure the very
"top-notchers" in expert Sunday
School methods, and to look over
the array it must be admitted that
they have largely succeeded.
There will be DR.. 81. M. Hamill,
Chairman of the Education Commit
tee of the international S. s. Asso-
citation; Mrs. Mary Foster Bryner,
International Field Worker; Mr.. E.
A. Fox, Pres. of the International
Field Workers. Association; W. 81.
Erwin, Gen. Sec. Of Manitoba s. s.
Association, and s. q. Myers, of
Chicago, to lead the chorus. In ad-
dition there will be the best Sunday
School workers from various parts
Of the state.
It's planned to make this a great
convention, and among the special
attractions will lie pastors confer
ence on Thursday afternoon April
11th. Every county may send as
many delegates as may be persuad-
ed to attend, giving to each, how
ever, the proper CREDENTIALS from
pastor or superintendent.
All the railroads in the state will
give special rates of a fare and
third for the round trip on the cer-
tifcate plan. This county is among
the very best organized in the state
and the county officers earnestly de-
sire that every Sunday School, or
at least every district, will send
worker asa delegate, expeoting q
report upon the return. This will
surely pay. ''> ~

LICENSE OR
NO LICENSE
That is the Principal Subject to
Be Settled By the Voters
Next Tuesday.
Election Of City Officials is Of Sec
ondary importance as Both
Sides Present Strong
Tickets.

More than usual interest has de-
veloped in the license question the
past winter and for several weeks it
has been the chief subject of discus
sion. The no license movement WAS
given a great impetus last winter
during the Sunday meetings, when
the noted evangelist delivered his
great anti-saloon sermon. Although
the no license people have done
their best to retain the advantage
gained at that time, the situation
has regained much Of it's equilib-
rum, and at the present moment
the outcome is admitted to be very
much in doubt.
The No License faction in Worth
ington constitutes a considerable
budy of the voters and is made up of
the best citizens. They hold the
conviction that the liquor traffic
can be abolished by closing up the
saloons, and bend all their energies
in every municipal election to gain
this end. bow we'll the plan works
here we are unable to state from
personal experience.
The High License people claim
that nearly as much booze is con-
sumed here in a dry as in wet
year. What the facts are we must
leave the voters to determine for
themselves, by drawing on past OK
per1ence. ,is b. ID. s. " .1 :i.ssls ID.
II shutting up ,tha asl cons will
abolish the liquor traffic there can
be no question as to the duty Of the
voters in the case. If not it will
better serve the end of morality to
let the traffic be carried on legally
under proper and rigidly enforced
restrictions.
The Advance has no use for sa-
looms, but has less toleration for
their substitutes, the blind pig and
the boot-legger The High License
peope are making the best use they
can of the financial argument, which
appeals to many, although it is the
last thing to be considered. If they
are closed 1T will mean q loss to city
OF nearly $4,000 in revenue, $4500 in
license fee besides the water 'and
light rentals.
Assbefore stated. it is the moral
side of the question that should
have first consideration and greatest
weight. II the liquor traffic can be
abolished by closing the saloons,
shut them up.

EDDIE QUINN HAS
AUTOMOBILE TROUBLE

Sunday Quinn, of this city, will
return here in the near future but
don't dare to show him an automobile.
He has had all of these machines
which he wants for some time. 1t was
through one that he fell from grace
when in San Francisco and was es-
corted to the Hall of Justice with a
blue coated and brass buttoned min
ion of the law seated by him. Eddie
was out for a ride with several friends
one evening and was coming in from
the park when he noticed an auto
which was apparently in pilikia.
With the true Hawaiian generosity
which raised him to the dignity of
Representative, he told his chauffeur
to halt and see what he could do to
assist those in trouble. Someone
came walking from the other machine
and Quinn sweetly asked him what he
could do. Il guess you can get out
of that machine. You are under ar
rest for driving without a light came
the answer.
It was only too true, the lights were
out and the local man was in the
grasp of law through his kindness of
heart in stopping to help out a stran-
ger. It cost Quinn just twenty dollars
to get out of the trouble. Street cars
are good enough for him now.
