Take His Own Life

]. r. Mcpherson, wealthy land
owner and market gardener, and for
more than so years prominent in
the affairs of Council Bluffs, at
tempted to end his life yesterday
afternoon by slashing his throat
with razor. Almost physically help
less from paralysis, he failed to &C
complish his purpose through sheer
weakness. and only succeeded III
inhicting a number of bad gashes in
his throat. The wounds are not
serious.
Mr.. Mcpherson collapsed last
winter when his family was almost
exterminated by influenza. His son,
Roy, and Roy's wife and baby died,
and another son, Russell, was
stricken, and for weeks lay at the
point of death. Mrs. Mcpherson
then fell victim to the disease and
died after an illness of only few
days.
The day following the funeral OF
Mrs. Mcpherson the husband was
stricken with paralysis and lay for
months utterly helpless in the Ed
nundson hospital while Russell
lowered between life and death IN
the Ford hospital, Omaha.
Last spring after Mr.. Mcpherson
became able to walk little with
aid OF crutches he was removed to
the residence of Mrs. Harrington,
trained nurse, z757 West Broadway.

THE COMMUNITY ASSEMBLY.

The attempt to revive the Chautau-
qua, under the name Of a Community
Assembly, by the Baptist Church So
ciety is commendable enterprise that
Ottawa and the adjacent country
should welcome and literally support.
1t is something for the moral uplift
of the community, and the past week s
proceedings OF the council have dem.
onstrated that almost anything that
will better moral conditions should he
welcome. Not that Otawas morals
are any worse than. those of ma
jority of cities of her size. for they are
not; but Ottawa under the present adj
ADMINISTRATION is putting out a pretty
fair sized wash for the public to take
"a look at. and if she has some re-
deeming clean pieces of linen now IS
the time to get a glance or two cast
III InelT ulT6ttloH,
The old Chautauqua set a very high
standard and went broke trying to live
up to It, The novelty wore off, and
with the lack of patronage its financial
support failed There was still, how
ever. large clientele who wanted
an outing of this kind and the Baptist
Church Society believe there is a suf-
ficient number to finance an assembly
not quite so elaborate as the old but
entertaining and fully worth the small
price asked. They have a number of
fine "headliners" on their program,
which with other attractions which
are being contracted for daily will as
sure plenty of fine entertainment for
the whole four weeks.
As a dollars and cents proposition ii
is worth boosting. 1t will bring a
number of out-of-tOwn people to OF
tawa, and no one ever visited this or
any other city without spending some
money. however small the amount by
each one 1t gives to Ottawa mer,
chants an opportunity to show non
residents that it Is to their advantage
to buy here. If they cant do that,
they don't deserve the patronage.
Give the Community Assembly lift,
If only by investing in season ticket.
1t is good thing from any point of
view.
