attacks of insanity. All of Thursday
night he was delirious, and was in a
pitiable state when the family physi-
clan reached his home at 1880 O'Clock
yesterday morning. Sartoris was CIV

believed that by evening he would
again be in possession of his normal
faculties. Half an hour after the ply
stefan left the house Sartoris seized a
razor from his dresser and sought to
destroy himself. He was discovered
by his wife. She hurried to the home
of a neighbor and telephoned for sur
gical assistance, the prompt arrival OF
which prevented Sartoris from bleed
ing to death. He already was uncon.
scious, and the bed was a pool OF
blood. Emergency bandages were ap
piled, and Sartoris was removed in the
ambulance to the hospital, where his
wounds were carefully dressed. While
the throat was cut almost from ear to
ear, the jugular vein was missed, but
the big artery of the left wrist was
severed and from this would soon have
caused death by loss of blood. Sar

After a few visits to the White City
one feels rather DESTROYS of white

not? White is an admirable back
ground for color. Our blue sky be-

more beautiful behind 1t. while a gold
en- sky makes white buildings delight
full. If we could only make the whole
city white. to begin with, and then
gradually and sparingly color, what a
beautiful city London would be.-Brit-

Thursday evening welcomed their new
pastor and held their annual business
meeting The new pastor, the Rev. j.
Fl. Hurley, and wife arrived Wednes-
day evening and We're the center of
cordial hospitality among their new
friends. Reports of the last year were
very good The financial report show
ed that the church is not entirely out
of debt, but the obligation is SO small
that the members propose TO remove
it and to create a balance in the
church treasury during the new year.
The membership is $50 at present,

Put on Night Shft.-The announce
ment is made that night shifts will beput
| to work in several departments in the
Deere shops beginning Monday. The
demand for manufactured parts has
been so great that the day force could
not provide the output. The number
of men to be employed cannot be esti-
mated at this time; it is not known
| how many men can be secured. The
| day shift at present includes 1,400
men. Other factories throughout the
city are running full iforce, with the
exception of the Moline Wagon COM
pany, and the present is not the busy
season for this institution.
| Layoff of Men ct SiIvis.-Orders
have been given at the Rock Island
railroad shops in Silvis to lay off 200
men on account of work being little
slack. Skilled mechanics were laid
off in the following departments:
Machinists, Is; boilermakers,2 %; black
smiths 8; car department s. The re-
mainder of the 200 men laid off are
those who have been employed in help
ing and common laborers. When ask
ed as to the cause of the layoff Super
intendent Seidel said there were sew
eral reasons. First, because the equip
ment for the Rock Island is in excel
lent condition at the present time To
take care of the traffic; second, be
cause there were but a few engines
: in the yards to rebuild at the present
time and the third. because the extra
work for the Frisco lines had been
: completed.
