WHY HE TOOK HIS LIFE.
Mississippian Preferred Death to Rid
icule, Says Note.

San Francisco, August 16.-J. Kel-
lev Neal, aged IS, of Duck Hill, Miss,
ended his life by poison here yester-
day because friends in his home town
ridiculed an impediment in his
speech, which he had tried in vain
to overcome.
The story of why he took his life
was told in letters found with his
body and made public by the coro-
ner today. He wrote that he pre-
ferred to die in San Francisco rather
than to give his acquaintances in
Duck Hill the satisfaction of know
ing they had driven him to despera-
tion.

PITCHFORK BURIED.
From Its Grave an Olive Tree Has
Grown, Says Senator Tillnan.

Washington, August Ex-senator
Tillman, in addressing the senate to-
day, referred to the recent speech of
Charles E. Hughes in which he said
that the majority of the leaders Of
congress were from the South.
1T must have shocked and sur
prised you senator's said the South
Carolina senator, Ito find that 81
years after Appomatox, that candi-
date for the high Office of president
of these reunited States has thought
it necessary to drag forth that old
blood-and-mud bespattered banner of
sectionalism and wave it over the
heads of the present generation of
Americans.
He declared that if the majority of
the leaders in congress were from
the South they had attained to their
present rank through long service,
just as he had done.
Il did not earn the nickname of
'Pitchfork' on account of my parti-
sanship," continued Senator Til1man,
1T was due to the bluntness and
frankness with which I spoke. My
mother taught me to despise hy-
pocrisy and lying above all else, and
I owe this personal characteristic to
her. If ever did hate the North
ern people-and I confessed to that
the last time I spoke here-that
hatred and partisanship have died
out of my heart; and the pitchfork,
if it was considered the emblem Of
it, has long since been buried. From
it's grave an olive tree has grown and
I am rendering the olive branch,
claiming to represent the South in
doing so, to all Northern people.
LET me before taking leave, to
meet you again, by the mercy of God,
in December, hold it out to you and
through all of you, to the consti-
tuencies which you represent, in the,
earnest hope that it may silence this
unjustifable and unseeming cry of
'sectionalism,' even as it once herald
ed the receding waters of the del
uge."

NR6RAsleA AND IOWA suF-
FERe FRoM COMPARISONS.

i
Omaha, Neb., March 8.For
making the statement that the per
capita wealth Of Kansas is 1880.
greater than Of any other state,
the Country Gentleman, an east
ern publication, dominated with
eastern ignorant egotism, is be-
ing called upon by Nebraska and
Iowa boosters to produce figures
that permitted such statement.
So far the publication has stu
diously ignored all requests for
information, knowing that its fig
ures are not true in any sense.
The per capita wealth, both of Ne
braska and Iowa, far exceeds that
lot Kansas; so much so in fact that
the figures published look like
deliberate Misrepresentation. The
figures for the three states are:
Iowa, $3.50; Nebraska, s3,110;
Kansas, $2,526. These figures
are taken from the Estimated
Valuation of National Wealth, is
sued by the Bureau of Census,

United States.

TELLS OF VILLA.

The story Of Mrs. j. j. Moore,
whose graphic account of tho raid
on Columbus, N. NJ, has been pub
lished in all the papers, who saw
Villa himself shoot her husband
and then run a bayonet through
his body, has very near interest
to Frank Weiz of this city. Mrs.
Moore is a sister of Mr.. Weiz and
her troubles have so inflamed
him that were it possible he would
recruit a regiment himself and
go after Villa. Mrs. Moore fran
ltically threw herself on the body
of her husband after Villa had
shot him and begged to be shot
herself, and in answer one of the
soldiers shot her though both
legs. AS she rolled grooming on
the floor Villa tore the rings from
her fingers, cursing her as he did
SO. War is a terrible thing at
best, but it is much worse to have
American women suffer the abuse
and indignities they have been
made to suffer under the bandit
Villa. His life and the lives of
his followers is all that will now
apnease the American people. He
lis a murderer and murderers must
pay the penalty.

chine of the latest pattern has

kind, was unable to cope with the
modern locomotives and help al
ways had to be summoned from

Miscellaneous Shower.

The home of Mr.. and Mrs. Geo.
Harper was a place Of enjoyment
and beauty Saturday evening
when the girls of Snyder Hollow
gave a miscellaneous shower in
honor of Miss Anna Harrington
of Mondamin and Mr.. Arthur
Maitland of this city.
They had planned to attend the
picture show and were just about
to leave home when thirty of their
friends walked in on them quite
unexpected. They soon forgot
about the show because they were
kept busy unwrapning the many
presents they received.
The time was spent in playing
games, but think they can say
without hurting anyone's feelings
that Mrs. Thelma McGenis re-
ceives the honor of the evening,
because she sang several beauti-
full songs in her sweet soprano
voice. She has sung on the stage
in New York, Kansas City and Lo-
gan. We give second honor to
the game called matching" in
which Claude Beamans' side won
and received the prize, but Mrs.
Harper could not find it, 1t being q
stick of gum. We all felt the loss
greatly.
The out-of-town guests were
Mr.. Wayne Harrington of Rapid
City, S. D., Mr.. and Mrs. Cleval
Beaman Of Mondamin and Miss
Anna Harrington Of Mondamin.

AHTl-suFFRAoE MEETING.


was present at the library audi
torium yesterday afternoon to
hear Mrs. Henry Preston White
of Massachusetts give her talk
against woman suffrage. Mrs.
White is a woman of very pleas
ing personality and she present.
ed the anti-suffrage side in
very convincing manner. One of
the contentious OF the suffrage
association is that the saloon
element is paying Mrs. Whites
expenses out here. She emphat-
ically denied this allegation by
stating that her husband, who is
by no means rich man, offered
to let her give her time cam
paigning against the issue, and
she carries credentials to the eff
feet that all he rexpenses are paid
by the Massachusetts Anti-Suf-
frage association. She also as
serts that woman suffrage and
prohibition are two different is
sues. The suffragists claim that
if woman franchise is carried that
prohibition will be universal.
She brought out the point that
California, where women have the
right to vote, is still wet and that
Iowa, where women cannot vote,
is prohibition, proving the point
that this state didn't need woman
suffrage to accomplish this re-
form. In California at the last
election the number of woman
voters was astonishing, less than
6 per cent going to the polls, and
most of them from the inferior
class. She claims that good wo-
men will not get out and mix with
the men and vote. She asked
how many women exercised the
voting franchise they had by vot-
ling at the school elections. Less
than 2 per cent of the Massachu-
sets women voted at the last
lschool election. She claims one
Iof the evils Of the day is the in
different voter, and that if women
get the franchise there will be
nothing but Indifferent voters.
fShe used the name of Jane
Adams several times, as Miss
Adams is one of the most prom
|inent suffragists in our country.
Mrs. White stated that she would
leave it to the audience whether
Miss Adams was not more i'm
pressive as a woman than she
had been since she had become
a sut1ragite, stumping the coun-
try on behalfof Theodore Roose-
welt. Since becoming a suffragite
most of her time has been spent
in politics and she hasn't any left
to spend on humanity and that is
what anti-suffrage claims will
happen to all women if they get
the franchise. She quoted sta
tistics from several articles stat
ing the Indifference of women go
ing to the polls to vote for re-
form movements. She made a
distinct difference between wo-
Iman's rights and woman's suf-
frage. The anti-association is
for woman's rights in every re-
lspect, but they think women can
accomplish a great deal moro by
working in clubs than they can
by becoming a democrat, a re-
publican or a progressive.
An anti-suffrage assertion
was organized in this city last
evening, with Mrs. A. B. Hosbrook
acting as chairman. Various
committees will be appointed and
while no antagonistic measures
will be used during the campaign
the members will try to do their
work in quiet way, accomplish
ing the defeat of suffrage in Iowa
on June 5.
