young dog of superior intelligence took
a great fancy to a boy who was picking
corn on the Hummel farm. So anxious
was the animal to help in the field that
he would jump up and seize ears OF
corn in his mouth, snatch them from
the stalks and try to tear off the husks.
Then he would march proudly up to
the boy with the partially husked ears

constant companion and seemed to

UNREQUITED LOVE is BELIEVED
TO HAVE BEEN THE
CAUSE.
DRANK CARBOLlC ACID
Miss Rebecca May Adams Died an
Hour After Drinking Poison at
1880 O'clock This Morn
ing at Home.

From Tuesdays Daily.
Miss Rebecca May Adams, the 20
years old daughter Of Mrs. Martha
Peterson, residing at COS West Mill
street. committed suicide at her home
this morning at 1880 o'clock, by TAX
ing carbolic acid. Miss Adams has
been employed at Frtedman's Dry
Goods store as clerk for over year
and has wide circle Of friends and
acquaintance in the city. No cause
Is advanced for the rash deed, but un-
requitted love Is the theory set up
by several Of her friends.
Miss Adams was last at the store
Saturday and at which time she seem
ed we'll and in the best of spirits She
did not appear at the store yesterday,
but remained at home to assist her
mother. One of her girl friends over
heard Miss Adams remark that she
kept company with a young man who
was not allowed to come to see her
at her home, and she had to steal out
to see him.
Was Downcast.
Miss Adams was last seen down
town last evening. She returned
home about 8 o'clock, and was ap-
parently downcast in spirits.
Where Miss Adams secured the
deadly drug is rot known, as the
Petersons never kept it in the house.
1t is probable that she purchased it
when she was down town or that she
contemplated suicide and had secreted
the poison In her room.
Handed Mother Bottle.
About midnight the young woman
handed her mother bottle with
carbolic acid label and at once 1t was
known that the girl had taken the con-
tents Of the bottle Physicians were
summoned but after working over the
girl for over an hour the end came
Miss Adams lips and forehead were
badly turned by the acid
Inquest Not Necessary.
Coroner Box was not notified of the
death by the attending physician and
Chief of Police Gallagher made an in
vestigation. It was learned that the
case was purely one Of suicide and
that an inquest was not necessary.
Miss Adams is survived by moth
er, Mrs. Martha Peterson, sister,
Miss Helen Adams, a brother, Robert
Adams, stepfather. W. E. Peterson,
and stepsister. Funeral announce
ment will be made later.

PEOPLES PULPIT.


Editor Courier:
VIM. M. Reece-(Can 1t be the
same man who organized harmony
movement some time ago in this
county ?)-gives notice in the Courier
of the 18th inst, that his name will
appear on the primary ballot for presi-
Dental elector Of this congressional
district, and presumably In the inter
for president and Allison for senator.
Then to further advance the harmony
idea he calls up memories of the fac
tional contest Of 1906 in which A. B.
Cummins in Republican convention
was nominated for governor by a ma.
jority of the delegates the regularity
of which was not Questioned or chal-
lenged by any member of lie conven-
ton. And this man A. B. Cummins
is the person he alludes to as doing
more to wreck the republican party
Of Iowa than any other Oh William!
William! Think Of the factional
preconvention stand pat committee Of
lsO6 headed by E. H. Hunter equipped
with all the paraphernalia necessary
for his purposes!
Think of that standpat committee
with E. H. Hunter, it's chairman with
all Of the paraphernalia aforesaid in
Guiding cash. being handed over to
the Democrats for the purpose of
electing Claude Porter, the Democrat
ic candidate for governor And then
think of the fifty or sixty thousand
standpatters going with the aforesaid
Hunter and his cash and voting for
Porter, in a vain effort to defeat the
regularly nominated candidate for gov
nor, A. B. Cummins. Oh William!
William! If the thoroughly organized
effort of the Hunter-standpat combina-
ton had been successful in electing
Claude Porter governor of the state
in 1906, do you, William, or any other
standpatter believe the legislature
thus dominated with standpat vic
tory of that kind, there would have
been enacted a two cent fare law, an
anti-pass law, primary election law,
a joint freight rate law, law limit
ing hours Of labor Of railroad en-
ployes, law prohibiting corporations
| from contributing to campaign funds
and candidates, law prohibiting
watered corporation stock in Iowa, a
law requiring sworn statements of ex-
penses from candidates and political
committee, a law requiring banks to
pay interest on state deposits?
1t is the hope of the Republicans
who are supporting A. B. Cummins for
United States senator that his cleo
ton to that great office will add one
more to the ranks of those who de-
sire to do things that are of value to
the masses, one who will not require
the shaking of big stick to move
him to action.

VETERAN AGENT
DIES SUDDENLY

STOCK DEPARTMENT OF THE
MILWAUKEE AT CHICAGO.

Edward w. Jordan, live stock agent
of the Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul
railroad, died at his home, 634 East
Forty-sixth place Chicago, at Z .. M
Sunday; a victim of apoplexy News
of his death came as a sad shock to
hundreds of stock yards and friends
with whom he had always been a
favorite.
Mr.. Jordan was automobiling Sun.
day afternoon with a party of friends
and on starting the trip said he felt
exceptionally we'll After the party
had been out an hour or two he com
planned of feeling i'll and the car was
stopped in Michigan avenue at
Twenty-sixth street, where he was re-
moved to drug store and doctor
summoned.
Later his condition was such that
he could be removed to his home At
g p. m. he began sinking fast and
death came an hour later.
Mr.. Jordan suffered a sinking spell
while in his office in the Exchange
building two weeks ago, a hemorrhage
following, which his physician said
was the only means of his escaping
death at that time. Few of his friends
were aware of his recent illness, how
ever, and for the last week he had
been in exceptionally good spirits. He
was at his Office Saturday and re-
marked to friends that he was feeling
quite we'll then.
Mr.. Jordan had been connected with
the Milwaukee road in various capac-
tiles for the last thirty years. For
many years previous to coming to Chi
cago, eleven years ago, he was train
master and assistant general freight
agent, with headquarters at Sioux
City, Iowa. He was about SO years Of
age and his old home was Pecatonica,
Ill. He was prominent in Masonic cir
cles.
The widow, two sons, James and
George M. of Sioux City, Iowa, and
two daughters, Mrs. Hixson, and Miss
Nellie Jordan survive.
Funeral service will be held at his
late residence Wednesday morning.
