Such was the statement of George
Vincent, the young newspaper man OF
Creston who last week left notes to the
effect that he intended to jump into
Summit lake and thus forever free
himself from the flood of debt that
kept rising ever higher about him.
His story is tale Of a struggling
young man with a sister to keep, OF
small wages and a desire to show up
well in the circle in which he moved.

enough to shut down tight on expenses.

OLD SCHOOL VS.. NEW
Allison Committee chairmanship Va
cancy May Result in Elimination Of
Time II onored Priority Rule in Sen.
(special Correspondence.)

Washington, Dec. 2.-There is in
creasing probability, as the days pass,
that the shoes of William B. Allison as
chairman of the senate appropriations
committeelwill be the object of a con-
test between the regulars and the in
surgents of the upper house: between
tween the elder statesmen, and the as
piring younger men who get the
crumbs of opportunity from the table
that is piled high for the benefit OF the
lucky ones.
Senator Allison represented the
scheme Of priority in the senate. He
was chairman of appropriations be-
cause he was the Oldest senator in
service. He was entitled to anything
he liked and he chose that place.
But with him out, the younger men
believe it is the time for them to strike.
They would like to defeat Hale of
Maine, who is the natural man for
head Of the great committee. Hale
would come In the ordinary course OF
promotion by seniority, for he is second
on the committee.
Dolliver of Iowa is not candidate
for chairman of the committee, but he
does want place on it, Mr. Dolliver
is fast growing into rank as seasoned
senator; more than half the senate are
his juniors in service; and he is out
for some strong committee opportuni-
ties. Moreover, it is necessary for him
to hustle for himself hereafter, because
he will not be able to rely on the as
sistance which Allison always rendered
in his behalf.
When Senator Cummins gets to
Washington, he will start under pc
culiarly favorable auspices He will be
sworn in when the session opens. That
will make him senior to a long list of
new senators who will be sworn in
March next. In the natural course,
Cummins would be one Of this group;
but he beats them to it by three
months, and will turnout his senatorial
career lead them by this neck 1t will
more than once be of the greatest adj
vantage to him, too, for in the senate
the rule Of precedence is very strong.

CLAIM JOKER SENT RING.

Friends of Ell<ins Believe Duke
Abruzzi Innocent of Unworthy Gift.
Pittsburg, Dec. "A new story has
come to light regarding the package
sent from Italy to Miss katherine FL
kins and opened by the postmaster at
Elkins, w. Va. 1t was at first de-
clared the package contained a $4,000
ruby engagement ring on which no
duty had been paid. On this theory
the ring was turned over to the collec-
tor of the port at Pittsburg in absence
of the payment of the $4,000 duty.
Now it appears that the E,lkinses
have possession Of the ring. The value,
1t is said, is s11.75. and the duty, which
the Elkinses paid. s4.36 Friends of
the family deny the Duke of the
Abruzzi was ungallant enough to send
such a gift and claim it was mailed in
Turin by some joker.
The known facts are these: The
ring, which now is valued at S11.75,
was mailed at Turin. Italy, inclosed in
cheap by inch pasteboard box.
and addressed to Miss Elkins in West
Virginia, on Oct. L. 1t was orna-
mented with 16 cents worth of Italian
stamps.

Rut this sort Of coalescence for the

time, and on various occasions during the past few weeks, had threatened to commit suicide. She watched Mrs. Hillock carefully from this time and feared necessarily that she would succeed in carrying out her intentions. Mrs. Chambers would Aot state the nature of the promise to which her sister referred in her note.
 Deceased was born in Detroit, Mich, thirty-three years ago, in which city she was raised, and had come to Bis bee about two years ago.. The hus- band of the deceased is Ed. Hillock, who formerly lived in Bisbee, but for some time has resided in Nevada Mrs. Hilloek and her husband lived for several months in Ely, Nevada but later he went to Rawhide, and she returned to Bisbee. It is thought that he is still at Rawhide, as Bisbee friends received communications from him dated that camp. He had intend. ed to return to this city, but for some reason he decided to stay in Nevada It is perhaps through this circum, stance that the woman ended her ex. istence.
 No funeral arrangements have yet been made, but it is expected that the remains will be inferred here i'm mediately after the inquest.

TAXES POISON AND FINISHES
 HER EXISTENCE
Mrs. Mildred HilIock Dies By Own Hand at Her Home On Brewery Avenue = Action Was Premeditated.

Mrs Mildred Hillock, who conducted the rooming house over the store of the standard Furniture Company on . Brewery Avenue, was found yester- day afternoon at about o'clock sui fering intense agony, the result of her taking poison with intent to commit suicide. Her sister, Mrs, Ida Cham bers, who lived with her, had been ironing in, a different room and came into their living room to get an article, when she found her sister on the bed partially dressed and in conyulsions. She immediately dispatched a mes senger for a physician, Dr. E. "A. Will kinson and Dr,s,M D. Cohen respond ing.
 The physicians found her in intense pain, and when they asked her what she had taken, stated that she had taken poison, but would not tell them what it was, saying that she wished to die An effort was made to raise the poison from her stomach with a tube, but was fruitless, death coming tfat about 4 o'clock. Fear of admins tering an antidote seems to have prompted her to refuse telling what she had taken. E
 
 arrived with a jury which viewed the remains, the inquest is to be held this evening at o'clock. A post mortem examination will be made. The jury was composed of l.. J. Leech, R. Kip pen, T. w. Miller, V. Brackney, Al Mo Cloud, L. D. Hunt, D. R, McBain and Nj. A. Zundel.
 A letter was left by deceased, ad- dreSSed fO her sister which read as follows:
 'Ida-Don't take me from the house, bury me at once. Put my lavender wrapper or I will be far happier. You know what I want you to do. Keep your promise. Mildred Hillock." !"
 It can be seen from this letter that the deceased had premeditated suicide, and something, which is supposed to relate to domestic troubles, prompted her to end her life.
 When seen by a Review represen- tative, Mrs Chambers stated that her sister had been Respondent for some

NOTES OF INTEREST
 FROM FIRE STATION
Board Meets Tonight to Choose HorSes-Company No. 2
 To Meet Monday,

The changes that must necessarily be made in the fire department Of the city incidental to the installation oi the improved service are being grad ually brought about, and while they will take some time, when the pres ant plans are carried out Bisbee will have as efficient corps of lire hght- CTS as the equipment which is in use will permit
 With a view to deciding upon what horses shaH be used, and to formulate what are known to the fire boys as house rules, a meeting of the board of directors of the fire department will be held at fire station No. to- night. These rules, will regulate the distance and the circumstances un- der which the paid men may leave the station, their duties in keeping the equipment in order, etc.
 Yesterday the fremen gave rse sLa1 of black horses trial. While they were souad and strong, some of the firemen were of the opinion that they were a little light Tor the load of $500 pounds that is reF-e. scented by the fire wagon when it is loaded. It is probable, therefore, that at the meeting of the board which is to be held tonight they will select the two bays which were first tried out, and which have proved in every way satisfactory, especially in learn ing what was expected ot them.
 Ia connection with the fire notes i; may be- added taat there will be held in station No. 2 on next Mon day night the reguar monthly mees ing of the members of company No. 2
