would be much better than planting
so much grain in wheat and oats with

A few days before the holidays
would be time enough to SOW wheat.

GERMANS RESORTING TO
CHURCH BFIL.S FOR METAL

AMSTERDAM, Oct 5.-"The last
chimes of the church bells" is the
subject of many valedictory articles
in the German papers. Before the
bells were taken down to be sent to
the munition foundries the clergy in
many German villages celebrated spe-
cial church services commemorating
the history and record of the bells,
many of which are centuries old, the
church organ meanwhile playing ap-
propriate music.
The next day the villagers assemb-
led to witness the taking down OF
their beloved bells, on which final
blessing was bestowed by the priest
or pastor. Then the village maidens
decked them with flowers and foliage,
after which the bells we're hoisted on
the carts that were to take them to
the nearest railroad station or place
of embarkation, the village choir
slowly following the procession,
chanting hymns and prayers.

APPOINTED
MARSHAL SECOND
and Wickersham Supporter Civ
en- Marshalship

News was received here yesterday
that Emmett r. Jordan has been ap-
pointed United States Marshal at
Nome to succeed himself. The news
of Mr.. Jordan's appointment was
somewhat of surprise to the terri
torial democratic committee who had
protested against the appointment Of
Mr.. Jordan, and had endorsed Phil
lip Corrigan for the position. Mr.. Cor
rigan also had the endorsement Of
the national body and of Delegate
SulZer.
The chief objection to the reap
pointment of Marshal Jordan was
that he pulled off his coat during the
recent election and worked tooth and
nail for Delegate Wickersham. the
republican candidate for congress. it
is stated using his official club free
ly to secure votes for the Hon. Jim.
The Territorial Committee started
early to get the scalp of the erring
Office holder. hut it appears the pres
ent incumbant is stronger than the
democratic party. or the President
is following along his lines of giving
everything to the Territorial Demo-
Gratis hut the offices.
Anyway. the appointment of EN-
met r. Jordan as marshal of the sec
ond division will do more to tear up
the democratic party in Alaska than
anything save the reappOintment of
Governor Strong. which looks like a
cinch now that the Territorial and
National Organizations protests have
10 effect.

INSANE MAN
COMMITS SUICIDE
Enrico Guiseppi Zambotti. held In
Federal Jail on Insanity Charge
Hanged by Own Belt

Enrico Guiseppi Zambotti, an in
sane prisoner, conRued in the federal
Jail here for insanity, and soon to
have been taken outside, committed
suicide last night by hanging himself
to a door grating with his belt.
For the past few days the prisoner
has been becoming more and more
irrational, and last evening about z
O'Clock asked Guard C. c. Reynolds
when he would be liberated. Mr.. Rey-
nolds told him that he would be let
out soon, and asked him to take his
medicine and lie down for the night
which he promised to do.
About 9 o'clock Guard Louis M.
Rosencranz made the round of the
cells and as he passed Zambotti's cell
called to him and told him to be sure
and take his medicine. He received
no response and reiterated his request
looking thru the grating to see If the
prisoner was in bed. Not seeing him
he unlocked the door and stepped in
to the room. The prisoner had taken
off his belt, fimsy, cheap leather
strap, and making a loop by passing
the end through the buckle, placed
it around his neck, and tying the 9TH
er end to the grating of the door, lay
down on the floor ard slowly strangl-
ed himself to death. So close was his
face to the floor that he could have
saved himself any time by resting
his hands upon the floor

the strap and lowered the body to the
floor, not over a foot from its face
and summoned Deputies easier and

that the deceased came to his death

buried by the local authorities.
No blame attaches to anyone over
Mr.. Zambotti's death, as it was un-
avoidable, the prisoner developing
suicidal mania suddenly, and at
time when the guards were busy at
other duties. He was being treated
by a local physician and was to have
been taken to the asylum on Sundays
