TOO MUCH LAUDANUM.
Mrs. NJ. II. Goodwin Takes Overdose
and Nearly Dies.

Mrs. Maude Goodwin, widow of NJ.
H. Goodwin who was accidentally shot
and killed in Texas, narrowly escaped
death at 10 o'clock this morning from
an overdose of laudanum which her
relatives say was taken to induce
sleep. That she had attempted suicide
suffering under the great mental strain
was at first supposed.
The body of her husband having
been taken to the Barkley undertaking
parlors, Mrs. Goodwin has been stay
ing with her brother-in-law at 500
death of her devoted husband seemed
to have unner we'd her and unknown to
the members of the household, she be-
gan taking laudanum, trying to get to
sleep, having eaten nothing since Sun
day noon. 1t was thought she was
sleeping restfully this morning but she
remained quiet so long. Mrs. L. L.
Goodwin went to the room to see the
cause and reported that Maud was
breathing hard and seemed stif1ed. Mr..
A. G. Goodwin then hurried to the
room and tried to talk to the woman.
but answered, feeling better, but the
laudanum is all gone Then the bot
tie was discovered and Drs. Coldren
and Hazelton summoned. The doctors
found no cause for alarm they said
but discontinued the laudanum treat
ment.
Asked by her brother-in-law if she
had taken the drug with any intention
of suicide she replied that she had not
thought of such a thing.
The dead body of her husband will
be taken to the house at 800 Monroe
this afternoon and the funeral will be
conducted from there tomorrow The
ordeal has proven almost too much for
the loving wife. Their home has been
in Houston, Texas

MARKETS ARE ACTIVE.
Reports From East Indicate Return
of Prosperity.

New York, April 3.-The specula-
tive advance in prices which was
shaping at the end of last week
gathered force this week and issued
in the most vigorous advance and the
most active market seen thus far this
year. The stubborn resistance to de-
preston shown by the market for
some time past imbued the specula-
tive sentiment with a conviction that
the bottom of the business depression
had been measured in stocks.
The settlement of the Balkan Ques-
ton and the completion of the April
settlement released large resources to
foreign markets and sent over some
demands for securities to this market.
Growing confidence in the condition of
winter wheat and signs of some re-
vival of demand in the steel trade were
contributing factors. Assurance OF
easy money buttressed the movement.

Brokerage Firm Suspends With
Liabilities of $25O,OOO.
Held Membership in New York
and Chicago boards.
HAD MANY OFFICES
Located in Various Sections of
the Country.
Trouble Started in Disturbed
Eastern Stock Market.

Chicago, April 3.-Announcement
was made on the board of trade today
of the suspension of the firm of John
Dickinson & Co., grain, stock and pro-
vision brokers. In addition to its
membership on the board of trade. the
company also held membership on the
consolidated stock exchange of New
York.
The firm also had from 20 to 80 Off
ces scattered throughout the country.
The liabilities are said to be in the
neighborhood of $25O.O00.
According to ]. T. Murphy, manager
of the Chicago Office. the firm had
been doing a good business here but
business in the east. He said that Mr.
Dickinson, who is now in New York
had wired him that the suspension
was only temporary and that it wss
expected the firm would be doing
business again in month
Reports We're circulated that the sus-
pension of business by the firm was
due to friction between c. w. Part
ridge. father of Princess Engalitcheff
and some of the Dickinson family and
that the crisis came in the sudden with
drawal of over 100000 from the Dick
inson concern.
THE report that there is any fric-
ton between myself and John Dickin-
interviewed today. 1T is true that L
have drawn out some money, but in
my dealings 1 have put in and with
drawn money repeatedly. If $100, 900 or
100000 would straighten out my friend
DickinSon's trouble and ne so advises
me I will gladly get down into my
pocket and help him. Our relations are
most cordial"
Manager Murphy. of the Dickinson
concern, said:
MIR. -Patridges action or attitude
toward us has nothing to do with the
suspension of business. 1t is a base
| falsehood to charge the suspension to
any conduct of Chicago customer of
the firm. No Chicago customer large
or small laid down on the firm.

Due to Wheat, New York Says.
New York, April 3.-The suspension of
John Dickinson & Co. of Chicago and
New York. announced from the floor of
the consolidated exchange here today.
was said by representative of the
firm in this city to have been due to
the recent advance in wheat and to the
fact that one of the FIRMS large cus-
toners in Chicago laid down" on the
firm yesterday. This customer. it is
stated, failed to furnish additional mar
gins when called upon. thus forcing the
suspension. rtf
The firms commitments in this case,
however, are not believed to be heavy.

WOMEN SMUGGLERS.
Discovery Causes New York Dress.
makers to Disappear.

New York. April 3.-Since the seiz-
ure Thursday of trunks containing
more than $4,000 worth of imported
gowns and lingerie which were being
smuggled into this country, it is al
legged, several fashionable New York
dressmakers have disappeared. De-
tectives in the customs service discov-
cred this while investigating the case.
Further developments are expected,
inasmuch as it has been disclosed that
on all the trunks which have been
seized there are markings which lead
to the belief that the largest part of
the smuggling, if not all of it. has
been done by one organized band.
More trunks are thought to be on
their way here and other seizures are
predicted.

TAX men ARE BACK.
Made Tour of Santa Fe, Frisco, NJ. p.
and Katy Railroads.

Samuel T. Howe, S. C. drummer
and w. S. Glass, state tax commission
ers, and Roy Van Orman, clerk. re-
turned last night from a two weeks
trip over the lines of the Santa Fe,
Frisco, Missouri Pacic and Katy rail-
roads in this state where they went to
inspect the property with view to
arrive at a just estimate of assess
leave tomorrow night for a tour of the
Union Pacific and Rock Island lines
of the state, remaining away all of
next week.
Mr.. drummer of the board said to-
day that they had found little or no
ais or along the line of the right of
way. The road seems to be doing as
little work as possible at this time,
hardly enough in many cases to keep
up their standard of efficiency. None
of the railroad shops of the state are
running full time, still none of the
shops have shut down entirely. The
Santa Fe is making great improve
ments at Wellington.
As regards this work of improve
ment Mr.. drummer stated that the
Missouri Pacific was improving it's line
all over the state. 1t was his opinion
that the road was in earnest in its
protestations to the railroad board
equipment up to the standard as
rapidly as possible. The Pacific has
enlarged its terminals and shops at
Osawatomie.
The Katy shops at Parsons are
among the largest and best in the
state, not even excepting the Santa Fe
shops at Topeka. The Kansas iCty
Southern also has large and fine shops
at Pittsburg.
All the railroads of the state are
complaining at this time that local
traffic and freight are very light Some
of the railroads of the state are allow
ing their lines to get in worse condi-
tion than the Pacific was year ago.
Mr.. drummer said that the wheat
was looking fine and promised a big
crop in all the counties west of Shaw
nee, but that the wheat in the eastern
part of the state, and especially in the
southeast section, was not doing so
well.

AIatrons i'm Women's Club Pay, Only
Half Rate Dues.

Chicago, April 3.-Everything else
being equal, should the fact that a
young woman is a wife, a widow or a
receiver of alimony exclude her from
certain club privileges extended to her
sister who has never murmured II
do.'' before the altar?
The question has been answered in
the affirmative by the West End Wo-
mans club, which by an overwhelm-
ing vote has amended it's constitution
to establish an auxiliary organization
to be made up of unmarried young
women who are to pay only half the
dues expected of the married mem
bers. The only objection voiced against
the movement was that it was "class
legislation"
