MENTAL SUGGESTION
Cause of Suicide of Miss Dix
man, a st. Louis So
ciety Belle.
FOLLOWED FRIENDS FATE

st. Louis, Mo-. Feb. 6.-Miss Dick
mann today shot herself at the home
of her uncle Rudolph Shulenber g.
while a society function was being
held there.
The theory of mental suggestion was
induced by the recent suicide of Miss
Diekmann's friend, young Earl Nc
Courtney. who shot himself to death
in his office in the Century building
few hours after talking with her.
McCourtney was an old friend of
the girl and when she learned Of his
tragic death the morning after he had
accompanied her home from the
school where she taught at MELVILLE.
ST. Louis county. she was affected
greatly. Although her relatives had
not noticed it she is believed to have
brooded over his death until her mind
became temporarily unbalanced and
she blindly sought to follow his exam
Pile
Miss Diekmann i. is said. had been
subject to frequent attacks of melan-
cholia and dependency since she
came to live with the Shulenbergs.

q problem that had perplexed the men
of many generations. nay in spite of
the fact that every man OF prominence
OF his own generation held a different
view. He not only delivered the ne
groes out of bondage but he saved the
country to which he owed nothing but
suffering. What that message is which
we have to learn from his life is SIM
pie.
Hope.
From the time that the little crack
er boy first drew breath there was one
thing that he did which few have ever
done to such a perfection. That was
to hope.
Hope took him through the sad
days OF the sordid childhood.
Hope took him through the sad
days of lonely manhood.
His hope saved these United States,
for this man had enough hope for i
whole nation.
In the darkest days of the war of the
rebellion there was not another man
in the country who had the courage
to hope for anything better. Lincoln
had hope enough to send hundreds of
men to their death in the battles be-
tween the North and the South.
There is simple phrase which we
place on the coins of this common
wealth and by it's very commences
we have come to hold it in jest and
| light esteem.
'In God we trust
Most of us trust in ourselves.
Lincoln trusted in his God.
On that terrible day when Lincoln
knew that the battle of Gettysburg
was going to be fought Lincoln went
into silent prayer. and had it still been
in the days when the angel of the Lord
came down to visit mortals we should
have heard it said that Lincoln had
a message from Heaven like proph-
ct of old.
That message is to be found In
printed books. 1t is the Gettysburg
address.
| Christianity is the essential doctrine
OF hope.
| You may yet read that Lincoln was
a member Of no church and was there
| fore an infidel and not a Christian
There has been no more illustrious
the history of the life of the boy from
the back woods-Lincoln.

BORN l8O0-DIED 1865
"A Reader" Tells Of the
Centennial of Poet Poe

The saddest thing in centuries is the
centennial of Edgar Allen Poe. The
pathos. of the whole affair is enough
to make one pause and wonder From
the very beginning his career was
full of venom, and those who were
the closest to him have done him the
most of injury. Rufus Griswold, his
biographer. is known in history just
as one might remember a Judas Is
CARROT, a Nero or a Herod. No man
of the century has name more horri-
bly, and pitifully mangled than Poe.
Much has been made of one Allan.
wealthy merchant of Richmond, Va,
who adopted Poe and befriended him
and possibly not a word has been said
amiss, but the selfishness of this same
man In making merchandise of the
brilliancy of his nephew, at last cut
ting him adrift to lodge on the banks
OF the stream Of all driftwood. among
the other strays and waits of literature
is an unwritten chapter, save para
graph here and there.
Critics Of the life of Poe have ceased
to call Griswold a liar and thief, al
though Poe called him both. but like
/ the friendship Of Allan, it was purely
selfish and stimulated by the traffic in
the brilliancy Of the man. Because
Poe would no longer endure this i'm
position, the lusty Griswold published
: a book which has immortalized his
name. and DETAINED Poe's. but immor-
talized solely because it is linked with
this man that this eenturyis now hon
! oring.
There are three great names that
stand out prominently as having made
an impress on the literature of the
country. Irving is known and respect
ed as the Father of American Liter
ature," Hawthorne. the wizard of lit
erature for his skillful handling of the
English language, every sentence per-
| feet; Poe as a man of pure genius. IN
all-soul flame, star of purest ray Sc
rene. A crown of thorns this man
Griswold wove and pressed on the
/ brow of Poe. n. P. Willis, John Ken
nedy. Mrs. Whitman and Mrs Osgood
have changed it into laurels for his
adornment.
! The world has long since admired
! the genius of Goethe. Burns and By
| ron. and has even condoned the offense
| of these men in the wrong done TO
women whose lives they bligh'ed. 1t
is time the genius of Poe be recognized
who committed no sins save against
himself. 1t is delight to remember
/ his purity of thought and life, his ten
der devotion to his invalid wife. and
his lifelong reverence for womanhood.
| Poe's place in American literature
is secure. The author OF The Raven.
The Bells" and "Annabel Lee" can
never be disiodged from the high plane
that his genius lifted him. The echoes
of the music of his verses will sound
into the far distant future. and the
lines written in the memory of his in
valid wife whom he adored and over
whom he watched with pathetic ten
derness. can not be forgotten With
what exquisite charm. these words ring
out. and with what power they take
hold of hearts as We hear him sing
And neither the angels in heaven

Can ever discover my soul from the

THE UNHEAlED WOUND.

1t Is commonly supposed in the
North that the South has gotten over
it's resentment and it's hate of the
North and all those who we're con-
cerned in the late war of the rebel
lion. The North is fond of the idea
that the late war with Spain brought
the North and South together and that
the only places in which there yet lin
gers a shadow of that one time fury
which moved men to yell that wild
rebel yell are those where the older
part of the population is still alive and
kicking.
That feeling against the North was
at the time of the war (and since, for
that matter) crystalized when it had
to do with Lincoln. He was a great
ogre and he is still the great ogre of
the South. Listen to the typical re-
marks of the Issue, the paper Of Gov
ernor Vardaman, of Mississippi, on the
subject OF Lincoln:
II shall endeavor to show you the
kind of a man Abraham Lincoln was,
as his closest and best friends have
pictured him, and from this picture
you can but expect to see that only a
man of his character could have COM
mitted this crime, the coolest and most
hideous and cruel of all the ages, that
have come down to US in the annals of
history. This proclamation was pro-
mulgated. Gf we believed his histor-
ians), by an avowed inf1del: one who
scoffed at the teachings of the lowly
Nazarene. and held hrs ministers in
contempt.
And this man, this infidel, this cru
Ell heartless monster. this man. is now
lauded to the skies and our children
commanded to buckle the knees, bow
down and worship him Only a real
degenerate with the facts as I pic
tured them from the lips of his warm
OF giving alteration or even respect to
such cruel haboon."
A gracious and kindly southern
woman, who of all others had the air
of being gently born said not long age
in speaking of her girlhood: We were
coming home on the train one day
| when it was announced that Lincoln
was finally dead. My mother turned
to me and said: Don't look happy
| children. it's wicked And" said the
old lady, that's the way we felt abou,

THE DIFFERENCE.


Yesterday afternoon the Palladium
carried in it's news columns the 'ex-
PLANTATION of the defeat of the anti
saloon forces in this county by Mr..
Thompson. He is reported to have
said in regard to the republican lead
ere:
"They are willing enough to stand
upon platform but when 1t comes
down to the actual work, they remain
in the back ground. The republican
leaders showed themselves to be insin-
cere in their support. locally"
Mr.. Thompson's sentiments are
matter of his own conscience and as
such are to be respected, but his In
tellectual nicely seems to have been
afflicted by the recent outcome OF
things in the county of Wayne.
He seems to be suffering under a
misapprehension of a subject with
which he should be familiar; namely
the subject of county local option and
its purpose.
: County local option means the plac-
ing in the hands of the people OF any
county the right to decide for them
selves whether or not they wish the
sale of liquor in their county through
the medium of saloons. 1t means
nothing else. We are not discussing
whether or not this is right or wrong,
we are discussing cold facts. There is
not the least use to look at the statute
we have had a demonstration OF the
law not SO long since.
The republican party had a plank In
it's platform which favored this same
county local option and 1t was made
a law mainly by republican votes as
everybody knows. These facts need
no repetition. But this paper pointed
out repeatedly during the campaign
that a man might easily believe in the
principle of letting the people decide
and at the same time vote wet when
the time came-and many men did So
It seems inconceivable that any
man with the reputed cerebral tissue
of Mr.. Thompson should have labored
under a Misrepresentation that every
man who granted the right of the PEG
ple to vote either way should have
denied himself the privilege of voting
either way.
What does the word option itself
mean If not the power Of choosing.
A child can find 1t in the dictionary.
No, this sort of thing is exactl,
what we meant on Friday night ane
on last night when we said that tht
time was at hand when both sides
should leave all recriminations ant
insinuations behind as most of the
leaders have done. 1t is much more
graceful to state the fact that the PEG
pie of the county Of Wayne did no
want to drive out the saloons and tina
the drys did not have enough votes
than it is to go around saying that the
republican leaders showed themselve!
to be insincere locally
II Mr.. Thompson can show evidencs
that the republican leaders offered t
aid In making the county dry and car
prove the same then these men wer.
insincere. But no evidence has beel
introduced save that these men favor
ed county local option as an issue il
the last campaign. We have show
what was already obvious-that tn,
reasoning Of Mr.. Thompson is fal,ac
ious and his nice sense of discrimin
alton is rather dulled by the events o
the election.
