been reading Shakespeare when he said
"How say you to a fat tripe finely
broiled," and they concluded to try
n "inely broiled." So our friends
killed a beef a few days ago, and after
consulting Webster and finding that a
tripe was "the stomach Of a ruminat.

had killed had Ave stomachs. They will

one man to set himself up AS the bibli.
cal Moses, whose duty it is to regulate
the thought aud action Of the people
or to attempt to regulate everything
from the worship Of God to the weight Of
our babies. Dogmatic arrogance in
politics, the school, and in tho pulpit

HANGED HIMSELF
WITH A SHEET
John Fox, of Sandusky,
Takes his Life.
DESPONOENT FOR SOME time
Body Found Hanging to a
Door.
Without Making u Sound To Arouse
The Attendants ~ the Sanatorium.
hc Cuts Short his Existence.

Suspending himself from the door
of his private room with a rope made
from the sheets taken from his bed,
John Fox aged hfty-three years.
former assistant fire chief at Sandus-
Ky. Ohio, committed suicide at the
Sawyer Sanatorium shortly after $40
O'Clock, Thursday morning. He was
found hanging from his door, dead
by attendants at the Sanatorium,
shortly after death came.
Tuesday morning the patient was
brought here by relatives and II was
seen that he was suffering of acute
mania. He appeared to be studying
deeply and the attending physician
and nurses at the sanatorium made
an effort to induce the man to leave
his troublesand his brooding spells.
He concinued, however, TO brood over
matters which seemed to trouble him
and matters grew from bad to worse
His rash act this morning was due to
his deranged mind. II Is thought that
he had had no notion of committing
suicide and that the act was not in
any way premeditated. 1t is pre-
sumed that he made his plans for
ending his existence shortly after aris-
ing this morning. Taking the sheets
he placed them over the door, at
tached them to the knob and closing
the door, suspended himself with the
end of the sheet drawn tight
ly about his neck. He made no
sound while arranging the sheets and
the attention of the attendants was
not attracted
The attending physicians at the
were Immediately notified
and the dead body was removed to
the morgue of Hess and Markert,
The relatives at Sandusky were noti-
fled and came here this morning. The
were shipped to his home AT
this afternoon. Fox is not
well known in this city. He was, how.
ever, "A frequent visitor in this city.
When seen regarding the matter
This morning, DR.. G.. e. Sawyer stat |
ad that the patient was one of an eX. |
Iremely melancholy disposition and
was suffering of mental arrangements
bordering on insanity.
II Is said that Fox was despondent
because of the fact that he was re-
moved as assistant fire chief in jan
lary, the removal being made for
reasons.
