ELK CITY MAN
COMMITS
SUICIDE.
Frank Streckner, Despondent
From Sickness, Uses Gun
With Effect.

County Prosecutor Il NJ. Griffith re-
ceived IA telephone message Wednesday
from Elk City announcing the finding
of the dead body of Frank Steckner un-
der conditions which clearly indicated
that he had taken his own life. No
particulars were given at the time, and
though number of attempts were
made by the sheriffTs office force to
secure telephone communication with
Elk City people they were unsuccess-
full until just before going to press
when the line was opened up.
From the meagre information receiv-
ed it is stated that Streckner was ON
the streets at Elk City Monday fore
noon and was suffering from a very
bad case Of grippe and also suffered
hemmorhage the same day. Herman
Brown visited him Tuesday and he
complained of feeling badly. Brown
made several trips to Streckner's cabin
In an effort to render aid If found
necessary, and finally refused admit
tance, and was told that If he tried
to gain admittance he (Strecknerl J
would shoot him. Brown again return
ed about noon and finding the window
shade slightly raised he peered into the
cabin and noticed Streckner lying on
the bed fully dressed with the ex-
ception of his coat and slippers on his
feet. Tapping on the window caused
Streckner to turn his head, but he
did not speak. Brown then secured
the assistance of "Slivers" Thompson
and together they went to the Streck-
ner home finding the deceased lying
on the bed with a gun iIr his hand ap.
parently dead. The visitors finally
gained entrance and discovered such
to he the case.
Streckner had made his will and left
a note stating that he was not crazy
but that the pain in his heart was So
great that he was forced to commit

comparison to the financial prosperity
that has come to this country because
OF the war. Also this nation has done
much less for Belgium relief than have
some OF those that have carried their
own burdens as well. Grengeville has
already responded to one or two ap-
peals for Belgium, but the total amount
given cannot stand comparison with
the extra amounts received for the
products Of this vicinity because of
war prices. Meanwhile Belgium child
rem are still dying for the want of
the extra nourishment that three cents
a day for each child win purchase.
The cargoes of the relief ships are
insured against loss by submarine at
tack. and If occasionally one is sunk.
II Is the more reason why the others
should be hastened.
Contributions for the Literary Di-
gest fund for Belgian Children may be
handed to Rev. H. j. Wood. or left
at the Bank of Camas Prairie. Make
this Passion Week week of some
seif-denial and help this most needy
cause. This means you.

Mayor Fulton presided at the meet
Ing making the Introductory remarks
and then introducing M. Reese Hatta-
baugh, Rev. j. III. Wood and Judge
Wallace N. Scales in the order named,
who delivered five minute addresses
each. The speakers were fired with
true Americanism, and the spirit Of
patriotism and love of country rang In
every sentence uttered. There were
no threats or bombastic oratory on the
part of the speakers, but there was an
earnestness, a fixed determination to
meet to present critical issue which
has been thrust upon our country, at
whatever cost, without flinching or
wavering, that met a responsive chord
In the hearts Of the large audience
and brought forth prolonged applause
and hearty sanction.
After the meeting free dance was
given at Schmadeka's hall, at which
there was the largest attendance of
the season, and the young folks dis
missed dull care from their thoughts
for the nonce and enjoyed themselves
as though there was no such thing as
war known to them.
A. +. Parker took the platform at
the close of the speaking and after
reading the rules governing the forma-
tion of Home Guards" and Red

done In most all the towns throughout

was stated, have already taken steps
for the formation of Red Cross So

doubt follow by organizing.

inery and supplies to the New York,
Wonder and Orogrande mines and that
more than $4,000 will be distributed

next thirty days. 1t will require from
three weeks to one month to get this

The method formerly followed at the
mine was hauling the ore two miles to

The cutting of wood and hauling same

CATARRHAL DEAFNESS CANNOT
BE Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure ca
tarrhal deafness, and that is by a
constitutional remedy. Catarrhal
Deafness is caused by an infamed
condition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube is
inflamed you have a rumbling sound
or imperfect hearing, and when it is
entirely closed, Deafness is the re-
suit. Unless the Inflammation can be
reduced and this tube restored to its
normal condition, hearing will be de-
stroyed forever. Many cases of deaf
ness are caused by catarrh, which is
an infiamed condition of the mucous
surfaces. Halls Catarrh Medicine
acts thru the blood on the mucous
surfaces of the system.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Catarrhal Deafness

MEETING CLOSED

The revival services at tie Methodist church closed last night. Rev Marion Monk of Camden done the preaching. There were about 12 or IA ac' sessions to the church. Mir. Monk is a strong, spiritual preacher and hls sermons were every one, edifying and upbuilding. The pastor was certainly fortunate in securing this strong man of God to help him in this series of meetings. Much good was done for the town, and especially so, with those that attended the services.
 Rev. Monk goes home 10 rest up a few days when he will go to Texas where Ee will be en- gagged the balance of the sum- mer.
