Sensational are Details of
Tragic Suicide of Madame
Ruiz in London, Which
Have Come Out.
BR|BEO ENGLISH REPORTERS
Alfred 6. Vanderbilt, the
Millionaire, "The Man in
the Case"

London, June 14-Several news

they call the mysterious case Of
Mary Agnes Ruiz, who committed
suicide in this city on May 10th.
They lay particular stress on The
suppression of news of the inquest
and her relations with an American
multimillionaire.
Lloyl's Weekly News attributed
the woman's suicide TO her mad in
fatuation for Mr.. a. G. Vanderbilt"
and charges that the English re-
porters present at the inquest were
bribed to refrain from mentioning
the case.
The verdict Of the coroners jury,
was suicide while of unsouad
mind"
Charles +. Williamson, OF Paris,
who settled the affairs and paid a
large staff at Mrs. RuiZ's Grosevlor
witness at the inquest. He identified
the body and testified that he had
acted as her agent. She was the
wife OF wealthy Cuban, from whom
she had separated. Lately, he said
she had been in i'll health and de-
pressed and had declared that she
was tired Of life.
Miss Elizabeth Caney, who was
the companion OF Mrs. Ruiz since
last January, testified that Mrs. Ruiz
had been very depressed az times and
took tabloijs of insomnia. She kept
a revolver, according to the witness,
who further stated that her mis-
tress was looking very i'll on the eve
ming OF May 10th. Miss Caney de-
clared that she had no idea that
Mrs. Ruiz had shot herself until the
doctor, whom she summoned, ar
rived.
DR.. J. b. Sutton, who was the ply
sician called, testified that he found
that Mrs. Ruiz had been shot in the
breast. A revolver, with one emp
ty chamber, was lying on the bed
Servants testified that they heard no
shot. There was no doubt whatever
that the case was one Of suicide.

Good Roads Bill in House.

The administrations good roads bill
was introduced in the house by Mitch
ell of Douglas. 1t provides for a COM
prehensive system of road building.
A state engineer at a salary of $4,000
a year is to have general charge Of
all road building.
Each county over $4,000 population
is also to have a county supervisor, if
he is competent. This population linn
itation was fixed in order to relieve
western counties of that expense.
These counties do not need hard
roads.
The county supervisor, together
with the county commissioners. shall
supervise road building. Road over
seers are abolished and that work is
looked after by township trustees. A
county tax levy Of from u mill to 2
mills is authorized for dirt roads, but
this cannot be levied except upon a
vote of the people at a general cleo
ton.
For hard or rock roads the bill pro-
vides for road improvement districts.
Property within one mile of the road
must stand 20 per cent of the cost,
divided as follows: First half mile,
II per cent; second half mile, per
cent. In other words, each side of the
road must stand 10 per cent, per
cent for the first half mile and 4 per
cent for the second.
The rest of the cost is to be taxed
to the county at large. Road districts
can be created by petition of the peo-
pie along the road they want improv-
ed or by the county road supervi-
sors.

''Ihave been suffering from catarrh
in the head for the past two months
and tried innumerable so-called RENE
dies without avail. No one knows how
i have suffered not only from the dis
ease itself, but from modification when
in company of friends or strangers.
81 have used two bottles of your med
icine for a short time only, and it
effected a complete medical cure, and
what is better yet, the disease has not
returned.

Peruna to all sufferers from this dis
ease"

EVERY LEGISLATOR HAS
BANK GUARANTEE IDEAS
SIX DIFFERENT BILLS INTRO
DUcED AND MORE COMING.
Republicans Pledged the Plan in State
Platform and There viii Be some
Sort of Measure Adopted.

Topeka-Bank guarantee legisla-
ton is still in the air. Nearly every
member of the legislature is i'll favor
of a law TO protect bank deposits, if
for no other reason than because the
Republicans pledged it in their state
platform. If there had been no pledge
made there would be no bank guaran-
tee legislation. Each member has a
peculiar notion of his own as to what
kind of law is needed and the less
a member knows about the banking
business the more certain is he that
his plan is the best.
Already six different bills on the
subject have been introduced and
more are coming.

client for approval.

closing his eyes and leaning back in
his chair contentedly.
After the second reading he was
silent a few moments, and then said,
thoughtfully: 81 don't think I'll sell.

Advice to Mothers.

Be positive with the children. Lay
down the law. 1t is remarkable how
soon they discover when you are in
earnest. Do not go to the breakfast
table in a furry, but stop long enough
to count 100 slowly, and then enter
with a calm manner determining that
there will be no squabbling. 1t is
natural for the young animal to
scrap, and while not criminal, still it
must be checked to self-control.
