Creamery Man Ends Life.

Creamery man Ends Lire.
Caledonia.-JohR H. Gaare, a we'll
known creamery man of Spring Grove,
committed suicide on Wednesday by
hanging himself in the haymow OF
his barn. His only child, a girl of Z
years old, discovered him first and
called a neighbor, but he then was
dead and evidently had been dead
several hours.
His motive for committing this trag-
ic act is a mystery, as he was in good
health, sober, good financial circum-
stances and family surroundings ap-
parently happy. He had been promi
nent in the creamery business in this
county for a number of years until
two months ago, when he disposed OF
his interests.

at the hospital for some time. Their
attention was directed to the crew OF
a Milwaukee train, the waving OF
whom they took to be in the spirit OF
jest and they were returning 1T as
such. The Chicago Great Western
engineer took the waving of the girls
to mean that they heard his contin-
uous signaling and that they would
get off.
The girls belong to two families,
formerly consisting of eight people,
who are related, and who have been
living in two rooms in the vicinity
of the old brick yards.

Depot-Plans Of other Roads.
Plans for building a large
union passenger station at Mem
4 his, Tenn, have been abandon
ed, according to late reports from
thexe. The different railroad
companies interested held final
meeting, but failed to agree
among themselves about the d.
viBien Of the fixed charges which
they would have to bear when
the station was completed, and
10 now seems that the property
Of the Memphis Railroad Termi
nal Co., of which A. w. Biggs is
president, will be sold and its af-
fairs wound up. The company
has spent, it is said, altogether
for property and expenses about
1900, 900, an it is estimated
that the land owned by it will
realize about 100000.
1t is now expected that the Ill
nois Central will improve its
station in Memphis; that the
Rock Island system will lease
the present union depot, and that
the Louisville & Nashville and
several other lines will build for
themselves a new depot near the
present union station. This will
include, besides the road named
and its affiliated lines, the South
ern Railway, the Missouri Pacif-
ic and the st. Louis Southwest
ern railways This new Station,
according to report quoting an

The incident related above has q
special application to the smaller
towns. There are many merchants
in such towns who believe that money
spent in advertising Is like charity,
because everybody in their territory
knows them and the goods .thAJ sell
Yet we venture the assertion that, 9
large percentage of the business the
mail order houses draw from rural
communities is due to the fact that
the purchaser does not know he can
get the goods as advantageously from
