Exactly"
Personally. I think Mr. Hill is
about the biggest, brainiest man I
have ever met in this or any other

Yes, he has done wonders. He is
very able"
Turning to your achievements,
Mr.. Hawley, your system of roads
lacks a vital joint-from st. Louis or
Chicago to Cincinnati or Louisville.
I thought you would have bought
the c., H. & D., from it's reorganizers
to bridge the gap"

TOOK HER LIFE ON RIVER BANK.
Poor Health Caused junction City
Woman to Commit Suicide.

Junction City, Kan, May 31.-The
dead body of Mrs. ]. H. Evilsizer, wife
of prominent livery man of this city,
was found just outside the city limits
by two boys who were fishing along the
Republican river. Death was caused
by a wound in the breast from a re-
volver which was found lying by the
side of the body, which had been badly
powder burned. The position of the re-
volver and the body are hard to recon-
cile with the theory of suicide, al
though the letter addressed to her hus-
band, which was found with the body,
indicates that the woman took her own
life.
Coroner King empaneled a jury, but
the jury adjourned Immediately after
viewing the body, and will not pursue
the investigation further until Wednes-
day morning.
Mrs. Evilsizer, who was aged between
35 and 40 years, has been in very poor
health for several months past, and
has brooded much over her failure to
get better She left home saying that
she was going to church, but instead,
she went alone to the secluded place
along the river where her body was
found, and probably took her own life.
