COMMITTED SUICIDE.

Ata Cook, of Sugar Creek Township, Knds His Troubles Wltli a Bullet.

Last TueBday when Grant Cook, of Sugar Creek township, went to the barn on the farm of his father, Shade Cook, he wa6 horrified to find lying almost in the door the body of his brother, Asa Cook, a young man about 23 years of age. In his head was a gaping wound and by his side lay a revolver, which had been the property of the deceased. The alarm was given and after Coroner Ball had been summoned from Wavoland, the body was removed to the house.

The unfortunate young man undoubtedly committed suicide, although at first this was not so clear. No one had any idea that he meant to destroy his life, but now it is plain that he made a threat of so doing on Monday It seems that his Bister-in-law, Mrs. GraDt Cook, remonstrated with him because of his drinking and plainly told him that if he could not reform he could not sleep there. The young man then stated that he never intended to sleep in any house again. Mrs. Cook paid little attention to this statement, thinking it to be idle talk, but now she realizes that when he said it he had made up his mind to end his life by suicide. About dusk Asa start ed to the barn and his brother told him to turn the horses out. Later on seeing that it had not been done Grant went to the barn and loosed the horses himself. He than saw nothing of Asa and it is likely that although he was in the barn at the time that he had not committed the deed, for Grant walked right over the spot where his body was found Tuesday morning.

It is not known at what hour the suicide occurred, but ABa had evidently been dead several hours when found. He left no letters, so far as is known, and no motive except general despondency can be ascribed. He had some trouble with a girl some time ago, a Miss Josephine Horn, of Sugar Creek township, and waB arrested at her instance as the author of her troubles. It seems hardly probable, however, that this waB the occasion of his act, as he had not taken the affair so serionsly to heart at the time. His suicide was a great surprise to the neighborhood and especially to those best acquainted with him.

MIDNIGHT FIRE ALARM-

Dr. Klliott Deletion's Barn Feeds the (jruel Hungry 1'lames Tuesday Night,

Tuesday night about" half past 12 o'clock, one of the night police discovered that the barn of Dr. Elliott Detchon, on south Green street, was in ll&mes. He quickly gave the alarm and the department turned out in no time, arriving on the Bcene in a remarkably short time. The whole building 6eemed wiapped in liameB and it was feared that the doctor's horse was a victim. Chief Vance, however, entered the building and found the animal in a stall that was on fire. When the door was opened the horse, contrary to the cuBtoms of the animal in a burning building, leaped through the opening and tore off down the street at a two minute clip. The buggy was also saved and the department did all it could for the salvage of the barn. The upper story was burned off but the barn was not completely ruined and may be repaired.

The fire was an ugly one to handle as the loft waB full of new hay and on this the burning roof had fallen, rendering it exceedingly hard to get at. The fire probably had its origin in the placiDg of a lot of new hay in the tight loft on top of old hay. The residences of Dr. Detchon and Silas Jones were both scorched but neither waB set on fire. The loss on the barn was surec\

SMALLPOX WARNING.

Circular IgBued by State Board of Health to People of Indiana,

Anticipating a return of smallpox to Indiana next year, the state board of health Monday issued the following circular to the people of Indiana: 'The loathsome and highly contag ious disease, smallpox, has appeared in twentv-six counties of our state. So far there have been almost three hundred cases, with only two deaths. It plainly appears, therefore, that the disease has been very mild up to this time. Judging from the past history of the disease, we have greatly to fear that when the cold months come it will then prevail in a virulent form. If it does visit us in severe form, there will be many deaths, and besides we will suffer large money losses through interference with commercial affairs. Quarantines will be established and maintained at great expense alarm and fear will prevail and trade will be suppressed. "All this is more than possible it is most probable yet we can, fortunately, easily command the situation and avert positively, this now most likely disaster. All that is necessary is for every one who has not been successfully vaccinated within the last seven years, to be vaccinated again, and revaccinated, until the physician pronounces protection assured. If this iB done the state may go calmly on in the usual way and fear not. It ie, then, simply good business sense to be vaccinated. Will you heed the warning and advice? Don't wait until the horse is stolen before locking the door. Don't follow the example of the foolish town authorities, who neglected, on the score of economy, to provide against fire until half the town burned down. It will, indeed, be a bitter and awful comment, if the citizens of Indiana will not act until a few score or perhaps hundreds of lives and large sums of money are lost. "Tvere is no danger in vaccination if it is done in a cleanly way with pure virus. There is little danger in riding on railroads, provided they are managed with good judgment, care and experience. There is great danger, however, if experience, care and judgment are not used. It is the same with vaccination, as also with all things else. "Be vaccinated by a physician in whom you have confidence. He will perform the operation by first thoroughly cleansing a spot on the arm with water and soap and an antiseptic solution. He will then use a sterile knife or needle to scratch the skin until lymph appears. Upon the spot be will drop a few drops of pure glycerinated lymph from a sealed glass tube, allowing the lymph to dry and then protect the place with a shield or a simple bunion plaster. If the vaccination takes, in three days a papule (pimple) will appear, surrounded by a red zone. This gradually increases and on the fifth or sixth day becomes a vesicle (blister), which by the eighth day has attained its maximum 6ize, and protection against smallpox is complete. On the eighth day the vesicle may be opened and treated like any ordinary sore by washing and applying carbolated salve or it may be allowed to take its course and gradually dry up. No 6ore with pus should form. If pus Bhould form, then you may be sure the place has become infected and it muBt be opened, washed and treated with carbolic ointment.

Sometimes the place is scratched and infection introduced from the finger nails, or the sleeve may rub it, and not being clean, introduce septic (disease) matter. "By all means let every person who needs it be vaccinated. "By order of the state board of health,"

RURAL MAIL DELIVERY.

Tlie Meeting or tlie Agents at. Ic.dianapo11s Monday Wan Interesting.

Superintendent Dice, of the western free rural mail delivery, met the special agents at Indianapolis Monday and the situation was thoroughly canvassed. The special agents made reports to the general superintendent concerning the growth of the movement. The agents have inado a study of the conditions, inquired into the demand for the service, and say that, while the undertaking is largely in its preliminary stagos, it is growing rapidly and is the "coming" department of the United States postollice business. The movement had its beginning in Indiana in 1890, when congress appropriated 8150,000 to further the work. Anew year began on July 1, and there is now $300,000 available this year With this sum the agents think they can largely expand the usefulness of the work, make permanent routes that are already established, and develop new ones.

Mr. Hathaway, who will look after the routes in Indiana, has taken up his headquarters in the federal build ing, being temporarilyifestablished in the grand jury room with Superintend ent Dice. There are now thirty routes established in this state, and Mr. Hathaway has applications from fifty communities where the country tpeople have seen the advantage of having the mail carried to them, instead of having to go to a postoflice for it. With the thirty established routes and the fifty applied for, Indiana heads the list of states in the demand for the service. The state of Iowa is second on the list.

IndianapoliB News: Rural free mail delivery practically had a beginning in Indiana to-day. E. H. Hathaway, special agent for the work in this state, went to Muncie to begin the work of re-organization of old routes and to open new ones. Mr. Hathaway is enthusiastic over the possibilities of the movement, and saysi"that it will becomo one of the most important branches of government service in the country when it gets a good foothold. Before startingi forJMuncie, he went over the list of places that have applied for the delivery of mail in the country districts of the Btate. The'points on the list are: Brighton, Attica, Brooks ton, Losantville, Lowell, Orleans, New Market, Lebanon,) Thorntown, LaQrange, Carmel, Clark's Hill, Lafayette, Linden, Kirkpatrick, Harts ville, Rushville, Richmond, Montezuma, Frankfort, Noblesville,tj Cicero Amboy, Martinsville, Sullivan, Shelby ville, Crawfordsville, Hobart, Fair field, Valparaiso, Sellersburg, Hope Logansport, Matthews, Fowler Pleasant Lake, Granger, Yorktown Collingwood, Converse, Flora, South

Whitley, Rochester, and Elkhart. Also Ord and Flat Rock, Shelby county Richland township, Fountain county Claire, Hamilton county Klondike, Tippecanoe county Dern. White county Franklin township, Grant county, and Fountain, Parke and Marshall counties.

These applications nearly all bear the endorsement of congressmen, and the number having the approval of Congressman Landis indicates a desire on his part to have free "routes spun like a spider's web over his district, But the special agent does not think all that have applied can be accommodated this year. He thinks not more than twenty new routeB can be organized owing to the fact that the money available for the purpose is limited. Where it is possible old "star routes" will be consolidatediwith new ones.

The Indiana agent thinks the "star route" and the fourth class postotlices will in time be relegated to the rear. He thinks they have seen their greastest usefulness, and money now being spent on them by the government could better be used on the rural routes. If this is done, Mr. Hathaway says, free delivery can bo largely expanded in the next few years.

Big Barn Burned.

LastTuesday morning at 2:30 o'clock the big barn on the farm of John King, four miles northwest of Darlington, was discovered to be on fire. The ilames had made great headway before the fire was discovered, so nothi ing was saved. All the implementF, the hay, the'grain, and one horse were lost and there was no insurance. There is no clew to the origin of the fire as no fire had been about the building. Some think that it was set on fire, but no one is known as an enemy of Mr. King, who stands very high in his neighborhood.

Miss Lockheart's LETTER TO MRS. P1NKHAM.

[LETTER TO MRS. I'lNKIIAil NO. 67,104] I cannot express my gratitude to you for the good that Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has done for me. I have taken five bottles of the Compound and tv. boxes of Liver Pilla and feel better in every respect. I had suffered for years with dropsy the veins in my limbs burst, caused from the pressure of the water. I had the worst kind of kidney trouble, fainting spells, and I could not stand long at a time.*' I also had female weakness and the doctor said there was a tumor in my left side. The pains I had to stand were something dreadful. A friend handed me a little book of yours, so I got your medicine and it has saved my life. I felt better from the first bottle. The bloating and the tumors have all gone and I do not suffer any pain. I am still using the Vegetable

Compound and hope others may find relief as I have done from its use."— Miss N. J. LOCKHEABT, BOX 10, ELIZABETH, PA.

Only the women who have suffered with female troubles can fully appreciate the gratitude of those who have been restored to health.

Mrs. Pinkham responds quickly and withoutcharge to all letters fromsuffering women. Her address is Lynn, Mass.

A CONTEST IN THE PARTY.

Action Taken to Counteract Efl'ect of Utterances oT S. G. Moras—Struggle for Control of State 1'arty

Organization.

Influential Democratic politicians say it ie now evident that an interesting contest between the "radicals" and the "liberala" within the party is to be waged in every congressional district in the state for the next six months. It is pointed out that the sentiments expressed by Samuel E. Morss, William E. English and other representatives of the party who were loyal to the party in 1890, are meeting with approval in many localities, while in other localities the memberB of the party who control local conventions are steadfast in the view that the free coinage of silver at the ratio of 16 to 1 must be made the paramount issue next year.

The recent utterances of Samuel E. Morss have been widely circulated within the party by members of the organization who agree with him that if free silver be made the chief issue the party can not hope to win next year. To offset the utterances of the ex-consul general to Paris, it is stated, that the* ways and means committee of the national Democratic committee, with headquarters at Chicago, is sending to Indiana vast quantities of literature treating of the money question as the issue that must bo made foremost next year.

In view of the fact that the state committee in Indiana will be one of the first re-organized—the re-organiza-tion to take place in January—the national committee, it is stated, will devote especial attention to this state, with the view of getting it in line for "10 to 1." It is an old saying with politicians that "as goes Indiana, so goes the union," and so it is BuggeBted by Democrats of inliuence that Indiana may be called on to speak first on the money question next year.

A good deal of gossip with reference, to the result of the re-orghnizatioa next January iB current. It seems to be pretty well understood that if the "liberals"—the Democrats who are opposed to making the 16 to 1 Issue the' leading one—succeed in capturing the party organization of the state, Samuel E. Morss will be made the member of the national committee for Indiana, Oti the other hand, so the representatives of the party say, if the "lti to 1" wing triumphs, the victory assures the retention of John G. Shanklin, of Evansville, as the Indiana representative on the national committee.

The representatives of the two wings of the party are already at work in the congressional districts preparing for the re-organization contests. The "radicals" realize, it is said, that the "liberals" have gained a point by securing control of the city committee in Indianapolis, and it is pretty well understood now that Marion county will stand by the "liberal" wing of the party.
