Evidence at the inquest showed
that the woman, whose home is AZ

her life by swallowing cartridges. She
was committed TO the hospital Sept

TEMPERANCE CAUSE
MANY APPEALS FROM PULPTTs IN
 ILLINOIS.
EIections For the Abolition of the sa- looms Will Be Held Tomorrow Throughout the State.
 Many Demonstrations.

Chicago. April 5.-Pastors of churches throughout Illinois. generally united today in advocating the aboli- tion, of the saloon, which question will be decided by 1900 townships in eighty -four out of the 1o2 counties of the State next Tuesday.
 In many instances ministers aban- doned their pulpits to lawyers and other public speakers who favored the cause of temperance. The liquor tn- terests were not idle during the day and in practically every township in the State they held mass meetings at which speakers set forth the disad- vantages of prohibition. In the terri tory which will vote next Tuesday on the question there are located about 5000 saloons and if the anti-saloon cause is successful, they must close up and go out of business.
 In Chicago, there will be no local option fight. the law having been so framed as to eliminate this city. The fight over the Sunday closing question here also has dwindled, through the decision against the placing of the question on the ballot, into an alder manic contest in few wards. But all around the outskirts of the city. the contest has been on with great activity. In even Cook county town ships contigous to Chicago. the citi- zens will vote on the saloon question. If these townships go dry" Chicago will be girdled with prohibition su- burbs.
 In many localities down the State, the fight has taken on personal tone and many surprising personal enmtties have resulted. The liquor interests have appealed to the farmers who send their grain to the distilleries. to use their influence with city merchants against the reform movement. The women and children have played prominent part in the campaign, and in the scores of towns they have pa raded daily pleading with the men to vote against the saloon. 4.-...,
 At Springfield, the capital of the state, it is said that more time. money and attention have been devoted to the present movement against saloons in Springfield and Sangamcre county than any public question has received since the civil war.
 Within the county there are 256 licensed saloons.
 Decatur, where 5000 900 bushels of corn are made into grits for breweries every year, has been one of the storm centers of the state. The city has sixty three saloons and they yield a revenue of $81.5OO from license.
 There have been parades by students by women and children. Saloon win dows have been broken and saloon signs torn down. while the saloon men responded by clubbing several unl- versity students

 Matters

When the Council meets tonight it will have for consideration and trans action a big batch of business. Not only matters that came over from the last session and are to be reported anew but affairs that have for some time been on the books must be taken up.
 To a part of the city at least the consideration of the location of the proposed fire station in Cloverdale has most of interest. Chairman Sullivan of the Fire Committee which met and afterwards examined sites on Bellinger Heights, is expected to make a report for the committee. Q
 A great part of the business tonight will be the hearing of petitions which were submitted at the last meeting
 It is probable that a report on the city wharf. which has been planned in detail, will be made by Alderman Nor itz. who is especially interested in the affair.
