here of heart disease at 2 p. m.
Senator Allison died in his Locus
street home, and the announcement
Of his demise came as a distinct shocl
to his friends and the citizens of Du
buque. Few we're aware that his con
dftion was even serious.
Friends noted on his return here
from the last session Of congress thai
he appeared to have lost much OF his
usual vigor.
Despite the apparent weakness he
was able to get around and remained
in Dubuque until two weeks ago
when he went to the country home OF
Mrs. Fannie Stout to escape the heat
and to procure rest.
For two years before his death, AL
lison was subject to periodic spells
of weakness and during these spells
would lose consciousness. Last Sat
urday he was attacked with one OF
those spells and was brought quietly
TO Dubuque.

Of Dubuque, was born at Perry, o..
March 2, 1929. He was educated at
the Western Reserve college, Hud,

tnat different countries appear to
show preferences for different means
of committing suicide from other
lands. The most common European
methods is by means of hanging. but
in Italy this mode OF self-destruction
is rare.
Drowning comes next in order. and
twice as many women as men perish
in this way each year in Europe.
Shooting is frequent in Italy and in
Switzerland. Cut throatis common in
England and ireland; It does not seem
TO constitute anywhere else fire.

Poisoning is specially Anglo
Saxon method OF suicide we are told;
while suffocation by the fumes OF car

room. is very typical of suicide In

SUICIDE STATISTICS.
Chlldless Marriages cause-Rate
High Among Germanic Nations.

Among 100000 suicides of all
classes, it has been found that 205
married men with children destroyed
their lives; 470 married men without
children; 526 widowers with and 1904
widowers without children.
With respect to the women, As mar
ried women with and 1853 without
children committed suicide, while 1O4
widows with. and 23S without Off
spring. completed the list.
On the race of things, says the IL
lustrated London News, it would ap-
pear that in childless marriages the
number OF men suicides Is doubled
and in women trebled. Leaving the
case of actually insane persons out OF
count, II would also a. t%r Cat In
males suicide is more frequent than
In females.
Equally interesting is that phase or
the subjest which deals with the
causes. ono table dealing, with 6.7S2
cases SHOWS one-seventh caused by
misery one twenty-first part by loss

ling, one nineteenth by love affairs,
Dne-ninth by domestic troubles, one
sixty-sixth by fanaticism, and by
foiled ambition and remorse one-sev-
enth and one twentyseventh respect
lively.
The geography of suicide is also of
high interest. Westcott says the
highest proportion in Europe Ia
shown by the Germanic races, Sax
ony having the largest suicide rate
of any country" In Norway the rate
was very large for O time. its de.
crease being attributed TO the greater
restrictions now laid on the liquor
traffic.
The Celtic races have low rate,
and this is evinced by the figures for
Ireland and Wales. Mountainous re-
gions are said to show a lower rate
than lowlands. In the highlands OF
Scotland and Wales and in the high
areas OF Switzerland, suicide In
rare.
Times and seasons also operate, ap-
parently to influence the act Of self
destruction. Roughly speaking, the
curve line of suicide, calculated
through the year, rises from January
20 July, and decreases for the sec
ond half OF the year. The maximum
periods have been found to fall In
May, June and July. | believe in
deed June is found to show marked
predominance as a suicide month.
One reason for such preeminence In
the warm season OF the year is set
down as represented by the onset Of
hot weather affecting the system and
tending to disturb the mental equil-
ibrium OF the subjects. In 1893 cases
noted in Paris the prevailing hours
OF self-destruction were from a. m.
to noon and from to p, m.
Perhaps one of the most curious
phases of this study is revealed in
the fact already alluded to-namelv.
