has gone.
Material prosperity has come upon
us as people and those upon whom
the hand of aflliction has been laid
haye realized that their lines were cast
among a generous, sympathetic people
who have shared with them their
abundance. AS a people and state
we haye sought to care for and protect
those of our number less fortunate
than ourselves and those in charge of
Michigan's great institutions where
dwell our unfortunate and dependent

a one that trouble and misfortune will

Gods children and give to them their
measure of happiness.
A good world growing better every
day and better opportunities than our
fathers dreamed of are chief among
Gods blessings we have to be thank
full for. To make our children's oppor-
tunities better yet than ours, to give to
the coming generations their share of
our rich heritage, to equalize, as far as
possible. the burdens and blessings of
government,-these are the duties that
devOlve upon us and that we should
upon this day of sacred memories of
self-sacrifce and devotion ask Gods
help to perform.
A day of deYOut thanksgiving in the
churches, of joyous reunions about the
hearthstOnes will make us happier and
better and those who aid in the observ-
ance of the day along these lines are
proving themselves desirable citizens
of the state we all love and honor.

ENDED HER OWN LIFE.
Ethel E. Spitzer Took Cyanide OF Potas-
SUM about Eight O'clock on Thurs
day Evening Of Last Week.

John Staley, John Hutton, james
Wallace, j. G. Holden, Chas. III. Palmer
and n. B. Herbert, the coroner's jury
empanelled by Justice John III. Merrill
to find the cause of Ethel +. SpitZer's
death, rendered the following verdict
"She ended her life with cyanide of pO
tassium, l20 grains"
The entire city and surrounding
country were shocked on Friday morn.
ing last to learn that the dead body of
Miss Ethel +. Splitter, the second grade
teacher in the public schools here, had
been found by John Bright in a field
just east of the railroad track. also an
empty bottle and cup. A jury was
soon secured and the body was taken
10 a. V. Parmlee's undertaking rooms.
All day Thursday Miss Splitter, who
boarded with Mrs. Duncan Mckenzie
on North street, had been acting queer
ly and while on her way home from
school stopped at one of the drug stores
and purchased some cyanide of potas
sium, stating that she wished TO erase
some ink stains. During the evening
she had crying spells and about half
past seven put on her veil and coat and
left the house without saying a word
to anyone. Supposing she had gone to
visit with some of the other teachers
no thought was given to her absence.
But when, late in the evening, she did
not return and could not be found in
the city search was instituted which
resulted as stated above.
Miss Splitter was twenty-one years of
age on August 28th. She is survived
by her parents who live in Grafton,
Ohio, one brother % years old who is
school in Cleveland, and one
sister ~ years old who is attending the
Normal at Ypsilanti. The two latter
were present at the short services held
Saturday evening at the home of Mrs.
Mckenzie and conducted by Rev. w.
;. Ostrander of the Methodist Protest
ant church. The body was taken to
the home in Ohio for burial.
The only cause to which her deed
can be ascribed and the only one which
persons of common sense believe, is
that during spell of dependency she
became temporarily insane and ended
her life She was subject to despond-
ency last year and many times
decided to throw up her educa'
ton. She was a conscientious, hard
working young lady, almost overstu-
dious, and never would leave her work
until it was entirely completed. She
was preparing a very elaborate pro-
gram for Thanksgiving and was spend
ing a great deal of time on it.
Miss Splitter was a member of the
Presbyterian choir and the Christian
Endeavor and was well liked by all
with whom she came in contact.

CLARK'S MARKET BURNED

ii. L. Clark's meat market in the
Pfaff block, Sandusky, was totally des-
troyed by fire last Sunday morning
about o'clock. When discovered the
second story was a complete mass of
flames. The fire engine which was
hastily drawn to the spot refused to
work and the building was a rum.
Mr.. Clark carried 500 insurance on
stock and fixtures. Only part of the
effects were saved. We learn that he
will immediately reopen in the Trerce
block. Such luck is hard but Mr.. Clark
is an enterprising and industrious citi-
zen and we predict that The will soon
have larger trade than ever.
