CARTHAGE MILLER
COMMITS SUICIDE
Note Fails to Explain Reason for His
Act-May Have Become
Lonesome.

Carl Junction, Mo, April 27-'I am
going to take little sleep; if l don't
wake up, notify my folks at SOB Wal
nut street, Carthage, Mo-"
Leaving this note, together with
three letters, sealed, addressed and
stamped, Henry Kammerdiener, a
German, So years old. committed sui
eide yesterday by drowning himself
in Spring river, opposite the small
grist mill at Smithfield, two and one
half miles west of this place. Finan-
cial difficulties are thought to have
prompted the action.
A bottle of chloroform was found be-
side the letters and the note in the
morrow office in the mill 1t is sup
posed that Kammerdiener drank the
poison sometime Monday afternoon
with suicidal intent and reviying this
morning, leaped into the river. The
body was found several hours later in
covery of the note by G.. e. Amos,
eight feet of water, following the dis
station agent for the Frisco railway
at Smithfield. An inquest will be held
at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning in an
undertaking establishment in Carl
Junction, where the body was remov-
ed.
Kammerdiener had been missing
since Sunday afternoon. In view of
his usual cheerful demeanor, and the
fact that no inkling of his intention
was Known, his disappearance failed
to cause any apprehension until the
note was found 1t is thought he leap
ed into the river yesterday morning
when he awoke in his Office after
drinking the chloroform.
Smithfeld consists of two stores,
a blacksmith shop, church and the
small mill Kammerdiener had been
there for the last six months running
the mill in addition to buying grain
for the John w. Boyd Grain company
of Joplin. Prior he had been the
owner of the Quaker mill near Alba.
Henry Kammerdiener was widely
known in Carl Junction as a cheer
full, Industrious, and supposedly, we'll
to-do German. He was generally liked
and of most affable disposition. 1t
ic tho oniuion of fhe fow narc0ne in
Smithfeld with whom he came in daily
contact that ne was in no financial
straits, and that his death was the re-
suit of d sudden attack of melancholy,
brought on by the unusual lonesome
ness of his surroundings, though when
last seen his actions were normal.

that the chair had not the right to
vote in such cases, but he was over
ruled and a demand for a vote by
Itellers was made.

Cannon rushed into the house from
his private room to vote with the or
ganization The vote by tellers was
140 to 139 and Bennett again voted in
the negative. Cannon's hurried en-

he said, were merely reading them

they were adopting.
Referring to what he characterized
as Crawford's frantic appeal" to the
Roosevelt policies in support of the

MUCH INTEREST AROUSED
IN NEXT CLUB DINNER

The dinner to be served next Mon

time for those who attend to go to
either the splendid lecture that is to
follow the dinner or to go to the
Sparks circus which will be here on
that night, so that the desire to attend
either of these need not affect the
plans to attend the dinner. Don't for
