to saddle the animal, but throwing a
bride over its head she sprang on the
equine bareback and in her night
gown rode at wild speed to the near

a doctor, then raced back home with
all the speed the animal possessed.
Her husband was breathing his last
when she entered the house and he
died before the doctor arrived.
Mrs Baumgartner collapsed after
her wild ride and is now under the
care of the physician. Baumgartner,

STRING OF LAMPS
Added To HIaWaiha Park, Making
Brilliant Illumination

Another improvement has just been
added to the already beautiful Lake
Hiawatha Park in the way of lights,
as the electric company has just com
pleted placing a string of Tungsten
lamps around the entire race course,
making it almost as light as day, as
the lights are only few yards apart.
This Improvement was made at an
expenditure of $1,000, and will add
much to the beauty Of the park.
The Howell-Keith Stock company
gave an excellent performance of
"The Girl From Montana" to fair
sized audience last evening, and will
repeat the same play this evening. A
special feature of this company of ar
lists, is the vaudeville between the
acts of the play. This feature alone
is well worth the price of admission

UNABLE
To Graduate With Brother
And Ends Life

Edwardsville, ILL.,, June 2--While
his brother was being graduated be-
fore a brilliant audience last night,
Homer Richards, 1S years old, over
come with grief and disappointment
because he, too, could not receive a
high school diploma leaped into Wolf
Lake, a mile from his home, and was
drowned
But for nervous breakdown,
caused by overstudy, Homer would
have stood beside his brother Clar-
ence on the stage of the Wildey thea
tire.
Lights, music, flowers, the admira-
ton of his fellows and the plaudits of
the spectators would have cheered
him as he stepped from the academic
halls of learning into the world of
ambition and achievement. But others
were enjoying the music, the lights
and the plaudits, while Homer, after
writing two eight-page letters to his
parents, crept from the home and
stepped into the darkness OF a wood
bordered country road that led down
to the black waters where lay forget
fulness.
Under lighted lamp the parents
found the letters telling just where
the body would be found.

DECLINES
The appointment Of Deputy
Clerk Of Courts
And Mr.. Starner Tells Rea.
son For His Action


Editor Banner, Mt. Vernon. o.
Dear Sir--I have this day resigned
as Deputy Clerk OF Courts, and
thought possibly it would be advisable
to inform the public my reason for so
doing, in order that they might know
the cause of such resignation, and al
so that they might not attach any
blame or criticism upon either Mr.
Charles w. Hayes or myself for same
About the middle of April of this
year saw Mr.. Hayes and he informed
me that unless the State Legislature
passed the guarantee part of the sal
airy law that 1t would be impossible
for him to pay me salary that would
Justify my accepting the position, and
that it looked as If said legislature
was not going 10 pass this legislation,
as they only had short time to do it,
ant bills which they would be obliged
to give consideration. Thereupon /
was offered a position of cashier of a
bank north of here, and under the cir
cumstances, accepted same. Mr..
Hayes had advised me to accept a
good position, if same was offered me,
for it appeared that if l waited until
the adjournment of the legislature,
and should they fail to pass this bill,
then l would lose both jobs few
days ago Mr.. Hayes informed me
that the bill was passed, but as | had
accepted the other position, and had
signed a contract with the other par
ties, / coulo not then accept the dep
utyship under Mr.. Hayes, although l
should have very much liked to have
done so. The best of Keeling, and the
warmest friendship still exists be-
tween Mr. Hayes and myself, and |
am writing this to the general public,
in order that they may attach no
blame against either Mr.. Hayes or my
self in this connection. feel unusu-
ally grateful to Mr.. Hayes for the ap-
pointment, and only hope that he may
secure man that will give him even
better service than / could have done.
With best wishes for my successor,
am, yours truly,
G. S. STARNER.
