ELKHART. July 7. Special. C. M. Zlegler, a well known veterinary surgeon, living in Wawaka, Ind., came to this place last night. He stayed around the depot for quite a while and about 12 o'clock wai seen taking a white powder. No attention was given to this, but about 10 'o'clock he seemed to be suffering from some cause Internally. He beat the floor and raved continually, but the bystanders thought only of fits or delirium tremena and made no effort at assistance. . Finally Dr. Bowman was called, and also C. C.

The body was taken to Walley & Sona morgue, where the inquest was held this morning, but no verdict has been rendered. On his person was found a pocketbook containing a number of papers and a white powder similar to the one he took last right. The powder proved to be strychnine. The pocketbook also contained a five-dollar bill and a letter, of which the following is a copy. It was adressed to Mrs. C. M.

Little more I want to say that I don't want you to lick the little ones. Good talk Is better than all the licking. You will not have to scold me any mo when I go home, saying that I uphold them when Minnie used to do wrong. You used to call her everything you could think of. It used to make me feel hot. but I did not dare to say anything, so I would ask you now. "I would say that I don't want no preaching. Just take me from the house and lay me away." Ha was about forty-five years of age and of good standing. No cause for his act except family affairs can be thought of now. EIAMIMXÖ TEACHERS. Specimen Qnratliini Amked and An. men Given at Crnwfordsville. The standard of school teachers In Montgomery county Is higher, says the 'Crawfordsvllle Journal, than that In adjoining counties and we bear much complaint made occasionally when the county superintendent announces that about two-thirds of the applicants upon come examination have failed to pass. A citation from a recent examination will serve to give one a true insight Into the state of affairs. On the examination on "The Autocrat at the Breakfast Table." the following question was propounded: What is the meaning of the following: "The Royal George went down, with all her crew, and Cowper wrote an exquisitely simple poem about It; but the leaf which h-.'ds the lines on his mother's portrait is blistered with tears?" . The question was on work which the teachers were supposed to lave taken in and thoroughly assimilr.ied, but the answers wer some of them gems of the purest ray serene. The following answer to the question was made by an old, experienced teacher, who Is a big gun in Ripley township and is considered to be "about the alum" with a certain class: "The vensel Georg was sunk In the sea with, all on board but it grieved the old lady on account of sympathy." How does that answer strike your nerve, gentle reader? Is the man who' made it one worthy to teach the youth of Montgomery county? Yet we hear a constant complaint because "it is too hard to get a teacher'- license in Montgomery county." Another answer to the same question was made by Just as prominent a teacher in Wayne township. His answer was as follows: "He refers to the engllsh government in this country prior to the revolution and that they Wer go sorry to relinquish their hold that the bit history made in doing was even blistered with tears." Isn't that a beautiful answer, now? Yet these are but samples and are selected because their authors really do succeed in getting licenses, and schools. They are teachers In good and regular standing. . THE DEAl'CIIAMP SUICIDE. III Wife Arrive at Kansas City Think That He Waa Insane. The Kansas City Times of Tuesday saya that the body of William P.

Housekeepers Should Remember. The Government Chemists, after having analyzed all the principal brands of baking powder in the market, in their reports placed the "Royal" at the head of the list for strength, purity and wholesomeness; nd thousands of tests all over the country have further demonstrated the fact that its qualities are, in every respect, unrivaled. Avoid all baking powders soW with a gift or prize, or at a lower price than the Royal, as they invariably contain alum, lime or sulphuric acid, and render the food unwholesome.

'I'll kill you, you I' and Gray didn't say anything, only started to run around the house and John began firing.
