SUICIDE HEAR REMINGTON; WOMAN TAKES OWN LIFE.

Offi-oner Wright Telephoned Briefly About Self Destruction of Woman On Garrison Farm. A woman, thought to be Mrs. John Larkey, residing on the Garrison farm, about 9 miles southeast of Rensselaer, committed suicide this afterborn Her husband was in Remington when the suicide occurred. Coroner Wright was notified and will go there yet this afternoon. The family moved to Jasper county / this year from Illinois. There was a lot of water fell in Sunday's rain, and for a time Monday the banks of the Iroquois river in Rensselaei* were overflowed. Some residents from the north part of the county said they thought the fall of water was as great as it was during the cyclone, although it fell more gradually. Plowing and corn planting was given another serious delay all over the county. Occasionally some farmer reports having out from 10 to 30 acres of corn, but these cases are exceptional, and many farmers have scarcely any .ground plowed.
