CHINESE STUDENT
ATTEMPTS SUICIDE.
Young Oriental From iScattlc Loses
His Reason Owing to Overstudy

E Pleading In piteous tonc for poison TO
end his "own trouble, and as plain
lively protesting that he had never
caused trouble to anyone, w. S. Shing,.
| a bright young Chinese student or Seat
tie, is confined ina ward in the county
jail, the victim Of a brain weakened and
deranged from over study. Relatives Of
the unfortunate youth have been noti-i
fed of his condition and have been
requested, through telegraph communi-
cation, to send some one for him.
SShing came under the notice of the
police. Saturday night. shortly after his
arrival In, the city from Seattle, when
he was found In the; Wellington hotel,
suffering apparently from strychnine
poisoning. When he was removed to
the emergency hospital he told DR.. S.
6. Paul a rambling story of how, while
on the train to Salt Lake. a stranger
had given him some candy that had
made him sick.
After being treated in the emergency
hospital the Chinalnan was given to
ST. Marks hospital, where his mental
condition became such yesterday after
noon that police assistance was again
resorted to, and the patient removed to
the county jail
In the rawlings of his disordered inn

/ the hospital, Shing referred continually
to his Gown trouble and begged that
he be permitted to. end HIS own life.
Even in his occasional lucdsintervals
this was the uppermost thought. al
though he refused to reveal the
trouble. There was the constant
,avowal. too, that he had never done
harm to anyone, or caused anyone
trouble, but only to himself. He told
his attendants that he had n wife, and
father, mother and brother in
China, and asked that three kilograms
be sent to Seattle. The addresses
given We're not made public, but 3
similar message was sent to all. read

Advices from Seattle say that
Shng, who is IS years of age, was q
ward of All King, one of the most
prominent Chinese merchants OF
Seattle and until several days ago
liked at the Chinese Baptist mission.
Borrowing money from friends Shing
had left Seattle Jwithiut Informing
anyone OF his intention. and had not
been heard of there until last night.
when his plight was sent over the
wires.
Today at tho Jail he still labors un-
der his hallucination of self-trouble
and seeks to end his life. His con-
dition is thought to- be the result of
the breaking down of the mind under
the strain of oyerstudy.

month 8 tour Of Old Mexico, where he
went with a view Of locating, but at
ter battling with the warm weather,
ants, bugs and "greasers, decided
that South Dakota was good enough
for him.
He stated that the gardens through
Oklahoma, Texas and in Mexico have
matnred and that crops in general are
good In that section of the country,
Notwithstanding that there has been
no rain for six months.
While in Mexico he visited Mata-
moros, once city of 10000 inhabir-
ants, but the population is now only
about 1000, the people deserving the
city because it was too near the
American line. He declared that the

THE PLAN IN SOUTH DAKOTA.

Aberdeen News; Two south Dako-
ia towns Brookings and Pierre
have recently turned down, by good
sized majorities, propositions to
adopt the Galveston" commission
plan of city government. The News
believes those towns have acted
wisely. While the commission form
of government has been beneficial in
some Instances, this paper ques-
tions whether the plan has been in
operation long enough, and it's merits
sufficiently demonstrated to justify
every small town in the country
hurrying to adopt it. Because the
commission plan municipal govern
ment is somewhat new and largely
experimental does not necessarily
mean that it is an ideal form of gov
eminent, despite the fact that there
are many people who are in the habit
OF jumping to the conclusion that
anything which is new must neceSsar-
lily he better.

OWN YOUR OWN HOME

The population Of the United States
is increasing rapidly and has already
reached proportions estimated at 81
800, 900 people. With the marvellous
increase in citizenship there is not
corresponding expansion of home
builders. The vast volume of immi
grants That are annually augmenting
the population mass III cities instead
OF settling in the country and carving
homes for their families.
1T is estimated that only thirty per
cent OF the population are employed
IN agricultural pursuits, the residue
OF the people being engaged in cities
III manufacture and commercial pur-
suits. There is unlimited room for
settlement in the country, while every
profession in the cities is Overcrowd-
ed. Every tluctnation of the times
that disturbs the financial conditions
OF the country throws many men in
the cities out of employment, while
The country population are not affect
ed by the industrial depression.
1t is for the general welfare of the
government that more home builders
should locate in the country. The
bureau OF immigration should operate
department Of information to direct,
immigrants to locate in rural districts
where their services are needed and
where opportunities are numerous
for laboring man to establish a
home and achieve economic indepen-
dence. If wages are higher in cities
than III the country, living expenses
are more than correspondingly greater
to consume the difference. Then the
uncertainty of employment in cities
and distress incident to loss of work
always confront the laborer who
strives to make living in Industrial
occupation.
More colonization associations
should be organized to encourage the
unemployed of the cities to migrate,
to tile country and cultivate the land.
Land associations that could give
long time rates with easy payments
could greatly promote the trend Of
Immigrants to the country.
There is nothing that promotes
good citizenship more than owning
piece OF land. There is no greater
insurance against want or no more
permanent independence than to own
a rural home large enough to support
ia family in comfort, A financial
panic never affects the products Of
the land. If thousands Of Workmen
ARE thrown out of employment by the
closing down of factories during an
industrial depression the man who
owns home in the country finds no
less work to DO in cultiyating his
land Rapid City Journal
