Democratic Presidential possibilities
are OH the invitation list.

their capacity as cabinet members.

Senators. Fairbanks and Cannon

FATHER SHOOTS DAUGHTER.
Once Prominent New York Physician
Fatally Wounds His Child.

Asheville, N. c., April 15.-En-
ragged at his 16-year-old daughter,
Nellie, because OF harmless school
girl prank, DR.. G. o. Swinney, who
recently came here from New York,
fired two shots at her, fatally wound
Ing Ter, and then turning the revol-
yer On himself, he placed the muzzle
In his mouth and pulled the trigger,
dying almost instantly Badly wound
ed as s.te was, with two bullets en-
bedded in her skull, Miss Swinney
ran from the room and upstairs to
the principals room before she fell.
The tragedy occurred in the recep-
tion room of the Normal and Collie
giate Institute, large girls board
ing school in this city, where Miss
Swinney had been a pupil for the
past session. Just what occurred
prior to the shooting is not known,
as there were no witnesses, and the
girl, while still conscious, could give
but a vague account. Dr. Swinney,
who up to few years ago had been
prominent physician in New York
city, has for some time been in poor
health, and Of late, 1t Is alleged, his
mind had been unbalanced.
When DR.. Swinney called on his
daughter at the school this afternoon
about 3 o'clock he was shown into
the reception room, and a few min
utes later his daughter came down
and went into the room, closing the
door behind her. She sat down at
the piano, her father sitting beside
her. Half an hour later girls and
teachers were startled by four shots
ringing ont, and second afterwards
Miss Swinney. with blood streaming
from the wounds in her head, came
rushing from the room. In a few
ed, school girls and women teachers
running here and there. but Miss
Robinson, the principal. speedily re-
stored order and hastily summoned a
physician.
Eliss Swinney was desperately
wounded and there is little chance
for her recovery.
The room in which the tragedy oc-
Cured showed signs of a hard strur.
gle. Chairs were overturned, and the
piano stool, with one leg broken, was
lying in the middle of the room. The
father was lying on the floor at one
side of the room, face downward,
with the revolver, with four cham
bers empty, under him.
The attempted nIrdcr and suicide
were evidently deliberately planned,
as before going to the school DR..
Swinney bought a revolver and two
rounds Of cartridges at pawn shop.
Although it Is said that his mind
has been unbalanced for some time,
he had never been violent, and his
family were totally unprepared for
the dreadful tragedy. He was the
father-in-law Of DR.. j. A. Sinclair, a
prominent dentist of this city, and
since his return from New York a
few weeks ago, DR.. Swinney had
made his home with him.

Richland to bounty Land.

bo, tne SouuesS OF all wlSdOm Sits
upon Ler throne,
Pouring out her vial OF wisdom as
she used to do in Rome;
She has changed in her great good
ness; she now deals with partial
hand,
For she pours most all her wisdom
down upon fair Bounty Land.
From that land Of untold wisdom
comes voice Ger hill and dale,
Bringing us some profound message,
which with JOY we always hail.
Yesterday that voice came to us, with
message harsh and cold,
Scoldfng us for being little, scoffing
us for being old.
That most wond'rous of all places
which the gods have ever seen
Is the one spot Of this earthdom
which we bow to as our queen.
High above us in the heavens, up
upon her golden throne,
She sits Judging all the people who
by her were ever known.
Alas! we children of the dust, placed
under condemnation,
Seek forgiveness Of our queen--a glo.
rious consolation! ... -.
We would not seem impudent, we are
all by nature meek
To be forgiven Of our sins; this only
do we humbly seek.
We know that we are very small; our
smallness is our shame;
And yet we love our little town and
glory in her name.
1t Is said that little ones should be
seen, but never heard,
Yet the smallest, when ill-treated,
will complain with some small
word.
In shame we heard the harsh rebuke;
In meekness we submit;
For twas the judgment Of our queen;
we dared not question It.
Twas from the lips of our fair
queen, the fairest Of all queens
A queen whose courtiers are her
ploughmen, whose livery is blue
jeans.
Few are blest as we are blest to look
upon q queen so fair
A queen who of her boundless knowl-
edge to her subjects gives a share
When she speaks forth her great
knowledge, we fall stricken to the
ground
by lle greatness. OF ner wisdom,
which exists alone in sound.
Hail our queen, fair Bounty Land!
Most noble Bounty Land!
Thou'rt the rarest known creation of
that greater Master Hand;
For thy greatness is most marvel,
and thy smallness more so still,
For thy smallness can thy greatness
all consume at its own will.
We would see thy noble greatness;
it's to this we would be led,
But alas! thy marvel greatness lies
within thy marvel head;
And ofall the marv'lous marvels that
we ever marvelled at,
That is the most novel marvel that
we marv'lers marvel at.
GREATNESS comes with greater wis
dom," so the prophets say OF old,
But We beg to be forgiven, If in diff
fering we are bold.
| For the bounteous Dountiness of this
bounteous Bounty Land
Would be greater with less wisdom,
such as flows through that fair
land. Harry r.. Hughs

FOOT PULLED OFF LEG
Shocking Accident Befalls
Chicago Man Here
Yesterday.

An accident, as painful as can be
imagined, occurred yesterday evening
about $50 at the Fayette street cross
ing when the left foot of Frank Hodges,
a Chicago man, dangling from the plat
form of a Monon excursion, caught in
a switch frog and pulled the foot from
the socket, leaving it encased in the
shoe lying beside the track where a
little boy found it later.
The man was rushed to ST Margaret s
hospital in Emmerling's ambulance. 1t
was learned that he is a Philadelphia
man working in Chicago and living at
S4 Point street.
He had made the excursion to Cedar
Lake and came safely to Hammond. At
this point the story differs.
His cousin. NJ. E. Eldridge of Chi
cago. was in Hammond today.
He says that he spent the morning
investigating the accident and that as
he learns his cousin was pushed from
a crowded platform on the excursion
train.
Hanging on to the platform ht
dragged along with the slowly moving
train until his foot caught in the frog
and was jerked from the socket
Another story is to the effect tha'
Hodges had stepped off the train OF
his own accord and that his foot wa!
caught in the switch frog while he at
tempted to board the train.

Business Men About a
Too Common Practice.

Notwithstanding the fact that the tall

robbed of several suits and a couple OF
suit cases. the police last evening found
the front door OF the establishment un-
locked at 1 o'clock and made a report
of the fact at the station.
The door of the Colonial theater was
also found open and was closed by the
police. About the only stealing that
could be done in the theater. however.
would be to steal a few empty seats
and there was not much danger of
burglary there.
The police suggest in the interest of
the local business men that they be
more careful in locking up their places

discovered last night are a direct invi-
tattion to thieves

M|NAS SALE A BIG HIT
State Street Merchant
Prince Finds His July
Sale a Great Success.

The July Clearance sale, which has
been going on for some time at the big
store of E. C. Minas & Co, on State
street, is proving a great success. Mr..
Minas is following his custom of plac-
ing his regular stock on sale at great
ly reduced prices in order to dispose
of it and make room for the new stock
which is coming in this fall.
One thing which is proving very at
tractive to the patrons of this store/is
the prfit sharing plan which was in
augurated some time ago. By this plan
the purchaser of $25 worth of goods is
permitted to take it out in premiums
which are now on display in the pre-
MUM room in the store.
How He Can Sell So Chenply.
Mr. Minas says that he is enabled
to make this reduction for the reason
that he is the owner of his own store
and does not have to pay rent. Since
his new elevator has been put in. the
second and third floors OF his store are
much more easily reached. and the bust
ness has increased accordingly.
The plan of the State street mer-
chants to make that thoroughfare &
great white way has done a great
deal to attract trade in that direction
and of course, the big store on thai
street, has felt the resultant increase
in business.
The activity of Mr.. Minas along witt
that of other merchants who have large
department stores in this city, is do
ing a great deal to make Hammond th'
retail center of the region.
Mr. Minas is an extensive advertise
and is but one of the men who hav'
found the medium of THE TINES indis
pensible in securing business from al
of the territory from which he coul'
reasonably expect patronage.
