ANDREW klOMAN, Ord,
COMMITTED SUICIDE

Pittsburg, Sept. 13.-The evidence
that Andrew Kloman third. commit
ted suicide here today became almost
overwhelming and is practically ad-
mitted by members of the family as
well as by the police and eOroner's
office. 1t was not until late today
that the family would admit the pos
sibility of suicide because his family
would not receive Miss Kate Jack.
whom he had agreed to wed on next
! Tuesday. 1t was also made plain that
there was not any other woman in
the case as the police last night hint
! ed. 1t was made certain today that
Kloman left his sweetheart, Miss Jack,
at 10:30 a. m. the same night his
| life was ended She gave him three
checks for trunks which contained
her trosseau and which he was to ship
to New York. They were to have
sailed from New York for Europe next
Wednesday afternoon.
| Young Kloman was the exact re-
plica of his famous grandfather, An
drew Carnegie's partner, and was to
have inherited all the Kloman acu-
men in the steel business. He had
just been given position which would
pay him $4,000 per year with the
steel corporation here and was to
have taken the position on October
| 1, when he would return from his
wedding journey. 1t was announced
tonight that the funeral would be held
at the same hour on the day that Klo-
man was to have welded Miss Jack.

promises that the drought in the
northern and eastern central states
shall be broken before the END of the
present week. In a special bulletin
issued today he says:
"The first well defined disturbance

WATER
Supply Of Canton Not
Affected by the
Drouth
SERIOUS AT ALLIANCE

The prolonged drouth which now
holds much of this section of the
country in it's grip, is already begin
ming to cause much suffering and
with a continuance of the absence of
rain, many cities of this vicinity will
be confronted by serious situation re-
garding the water supply. Naturally
these tales of the lack of water in
other cities of this part of Ohio, has
brought about queries concerning the
adequacy of the Canton water sup
ply.
When such query was put to Sup
erintendent l.. B. Ohliger of the Can
ton water works yesterday he said:
"The lack of rain has in no way af-
fected the supply from our wells, and
the amount pumped each day is as
great as it ever was. Over 100000
gallons are consumed every day by
Cantonians. l do not look for any
suffering in Canton on account of the
drouth."
1t would seem by this statement
that Canton is endowed with a gift
of nature that few of the cities of
| this vicinity possess, that of an al
most inexhaustible supply of drinking
water, and it's citizens can be thank
full that they live in such a place.
Alliance is having it's troubles, as
are many other cities to the east of
Canton u,b;ob dapon5 upDn tho Mo-
honing river for their drinking water.
A serious water famine stares Alliance
citizens in the face and the authori-
ties are taking precautionary meas
ures to avoid all unnecessary uses of
water. The Mahoning river is lower
than many of the oldest residents
have ever known it to have been, hav-
ing much more the appearance OF a
brook than a river. The tributary
steams have become completely dry
and unless rain comes soon the river
threatens to go dry.
Alliance is not the only place hay
ing it's troubles. for Youngstown is ex-
periencing the same lack of water
due to it's dependency upon the Ma
honing river for its supply. The man
ufacturers of that city are beginning
to suffer and the completion of the
New Berlin dam is being pushed.
The cry for rains comes from all
quarters. While the residents of the
towns and cities of this part of the
state are suffering for want of water

their portion of the difficulty. Roads
have been transformed into sandy
wastes, with dust several inches deeI
making travel extremely unconfort
able. The outlook for the late crop
is beginning to take on a differen
aspect, and the bright results thai
were predicted early in the season, de
not look so favorable now. The corr
crop may be seriously affected by the
drouth, and the late vegetable croI
has been practically ruined.
The responsibility foc the great for
est fires that are sweeping Minnesota
Wisconsin and Michigan and reaching
down as far as Ohio. is placed upoI

and fields to become in parched con
dition and infiammab.e from spark
While the northern portion of thu
state is being visited by the grea
forest conhagrations, there is LITTLE
probability that the country in the vi
cinity of Canton will suffer on tina,
account. for the timber has been too
much thinned out.

The climate is delightful. The days

cool. We have the most beautiful
sunshiny weather, but II we could
have traded q few Of our bright days
for some Of Bates county's harvest

There was q grand celebration the
4th at Tribune at which l met
great many Bates county people.
Everybody seemed to be having q
fine time. The people are q great
deal more sociable here than they
are In the east. Out here you scarce
~ ever meet q stranger. l never saw
better neighbours In my life ! think
they certainly live by the Golden
Rule.
We have a good garden, but We
irrigate IL from our we'll. The crops
are needing rain. We have only had
light showers this spring. We have
not had a big rain since last August.
Most everybody have fenced their
crops aud have turned their stock
loose on the range.
The wheat crop is almost an entire

HOLL ANDSBURG HAS
SMALLPOX CASES
Richmond Is Blamed for Con-
dition.

Johannesburg, O., May Is This
town comes to the front with three cas-
es of fully developed smallpox and sew
eral other persons who have been eX-
posed.
Just as soon as the disease was cor.
rectly diagnosed rigid quarantine regu-
lations were imposed and the strictest
sort Of care has and will be taken on
the part of the officers and citizens of
that place. Naturally some alarm is
felt, but there is thought TO be no dan.
ger and business is going just as usu-
al in the little city.
New Paris people had their little jolt
last week when it was announced
smallpox was prevalent here. In
quiry developed the fact that this was
a gross misstatement although there
was some grounds for the same.
According to the health officer the
whole case is as follows: Two girls
visited at the GOOdlin home and 1t was
learned that the house at which they
stayed in Richmond had been quaran
tined. This meant possible exposure
to them and the Goodlins, so the quar-
antine was put on. Since that time
the quarantine on the above mention
ed Richmond home has been lifted
but the Goodlin quarantine will be held
the full length of time. So it can be
seen that the cause for fright on the
part Of our people is slight indeed
