Especial to The Gate City.]
FORT MADISON, Iowa, Aug. 10
Louise Carter of this city attempted
suicide this morning at her home,
1870 Fifth street, by swallowing half
dollars worth of bichloride of mer.
curry. Although she did not die i'm
mediately, this afternoon she lay at
the point Of death at the Sacred Heart
hospital, where she was taken. Be
cause Of the action OF mercury. It Is
thought that it will be only the matter
of time before her death occurs.
She was twenty-eight years old and
was recently granted divorce In the
district court here from Alfred Meyer
The cause of her taking the poison
that she had Just recently returned
from Montrose and since that time
had been in a respondent condition
through some unknown cause. The
Carter woman told her sister at the
hospital this afternoon that she Just
took a notion to end 1t all.
At one time she was employed in a
restaurant here but lately had not
been working.
Hogan May Get Off.
1t is believed that James Hogan,
who had Just completed a term in the
penitentiary here, Will be released to-
day, following court action which will
undoubtedly prove that he cannot be
held to the additional twenty-five
years which the Iowa law lacks on to
Iowa convicts after two penitentiary
sentences. This law provides that both
sentences must have been for three
years or more. and, according to pc
tition of the prisoner contained In a
habeas corpus, one OF his sentences
was only for two years.
A letter has just been received from
Attorney General Cosson stating that
if the statement of the prisoner is
correct, that he will have to be re-
leased. Hogan's case was the first
to test the new twenty-five years ad-
ditional sentence.

IN THE CHERRY SEASON.

make good cooked dishes, which may
be enjoyed before preserving and jam
making begin.
The big dark red variety generally
is preferred fresh. although the lighter
red ones are equally good for cooked
dishes and preserving. II Is a good
idea to have recipes for each fruit in
Its season. SO that not any Of tho good
