Attempted Suicide

Earl Barnett a young man who
has been employed in different
restaurants in town for some tim.
went into the Elite restaurant
about 6 o'clock Tuesday evening
and after ordering his supper tur
ed to Sam Yarbrough, one of
the prOprietors and a former en-
plOyer and said "Sam, l wish yOr
would take your gun and shoot
me, I'm drunk. :" arb1ough,
however supposed he was simply
joking and paid no attention to
him.
After eating his supper Barnett
left the restaurant, but return
ed about $3.50, and going up to
the counter again requested Var
brOugh to shoot him. YarbrOugh
who still thought he was joking,
said "No use of wasting ammu-
milton on you. If you really want
to kill yourself, drink some of
this stuff, it'll kill you quick
enough" at the same time hand
ing Barnett a bottle of wood al
cohol. which is kept for the pur-
pose of generating the gas lamps.
YarbrOugh turned around to wal
.on customer and Barnett took
the bottle, pulled the cork, and
started to drink it. Harry Tay-
lOr a Santa Fe brakeman who ha
pened to be sitting near him,
knocked the bottle from his hand
and with another man who was
near, pounded Barnet on the
back, until he vOmited up part OF
the poison.
Aside from a badly burned
mouth Barnett is all right again,
but he had a mighty close call,
and it will probably be a lesson
for him to let booze alone. He
is a young man about 20 years
. of age, is well spoken of by the
parties for whom he has worked,
as being honest and industrious,
but of late he has been drinking
heavily and doubtless had no
idea what he was doing when he
tried to take his life.

PEOPLE NOT ALIVE
TO the SITUATION
Letter Of Roosevelt on Inter.
ventiOn in HaytL

New York, March 9.-What pur-
ports to be the views of Theodore
Roosevelt of the attitude of the Unit
ed States concerning Hayti, as ex.
pressed during his incumbency on
Dec. last, is contained in a special
ceblegram to the Herald from King
ston, Jamaica, quoting letter which
Mr.. Roosevelt wrote to Sir Harry
Johnson,t the British traveller and sci
enlist and student of the negro ques
tion. In the letter Colonel Roosevelt
the then president, is quoted in part
as follows with reference to the re-
cent trouble in the black republic:
II do not think we shall intervene
in Hayti. OF course we ought to, but
this people of ours simply do not un
derstand how things are outside our
own boundaries.
"Of course / do not desire to act
unless can get the bulk of our peo
pie to understand the situation and to
back up the action; and to do that
have to get the facts vividly before
them and clearly before them.
"In Panama, Cuba, Santo Domingo
and Porto Rico it needed months OF
years of preparation before we could
get our people to see things straigh'

interfered in Central America ant
Haytl. In all three places we ough

that we are doing in Cuba, Santo Do

exigencies of the case. But the Amer
leans simply were not alive to the sit

an expensive item; provides what
shall constitute the officers and en-
ployes of each house and cuts out a
flood of useless clerks and function
aries and provides for engrossing and
enrolling the bills of each house in
typewriting. 1t is believed that these
Cable and Dillon bills will effect a
saving of many thousands annually.
Public Morals.
Both bodies were composed of men
of the strictest morality and it was
not difficult to secure reasonable leg
islation upon every topic affecting the
morals of the community. Among the
bills passed upon this line were: In
creasing the penalties for procuring;
providing against miscegenatious mar
riages; providing penalties for taking
liquors or narcotics on premises OF
penal or charitable institutions; pro-
hibitine the giving of liquors to black.
Used persons; prohibiting townships
from granting licenses within two and
one-half miles of Incorporated towns;
9. county option bill; an anti-treating
act: and act absolutely prohibiting the
manufacture or sale Of cigarettes
within the state, and, as before men,
toned, prohibiting drinking or gam
bling on passenger trains.
Agriculture.
South Dakota Is distinctly an Agr1-
cultural state and naturally the farm
crs come in for good share of atten'
ton Among the acts in their inter
est il one to prevent the adnlteration
| of milk cream and dairy products
providing a bounty to be paid by the
county commissioners for planting for,
est trees; repeating the nursery
agents act, which required agents OF
| foreign nurseries to procure certifi.
cate from the state and to put up q
bond for the protection Of their Gus,
toners. The supreme court knocked
out the bond and the agents were US
ing the certificates to impose upon the
public by thus showing state author
fly: prohibiting bringing diseased
sheep into the state; regulating thu
inspection OF horses for shipment
providing for the inspection of bees
simple procedure for securing parti
tion fences, procedure for securing
right of way to isolated tracts; gen
eral drainage law; a general irriga
tion law, accepting the provisions o.
the Carey land and irrigation act ant
requiring warehousemen to exhibi
certificates of weighing and inspection
Of all grain shipped.
