THINKS OF SUICIDE THEN COMMITS DEED Thinks About the Matter for Five Years.

Peru, Ind., July 29. Haunted for five years by the fear of death by suicide. Frank McCoy, aged 51, of the southern part of this county, committed suicide by taking carbolic acid yesterday. He was found dying In the arn by his wife. McCoy did not want to die and yet be killed himself. His failure to win Jn the struggle with himself Is attributed to disease. It was in 1902 that he commenced receiving medical attention for abdominal trouble. Just a ehort time before his brother, Jesse McCoy, died and upon an examination Jt was found that his liver was twice Its normal size, that his intestines had grown together and that his appendix was fast to the wall of the abdomen. The brother Frank showed similar Bymptoms and shortly after Jesse's death Frank went to a gravel pit bent on drowning himself in a pool of water there. En route he met a friend end soon forgot bis troubles. When he consulted a physician he eaid that he never entered his barn

but that he looked for a suitable place to which he could tie a rope and hang himself. The dread of this suicide worried him and his wife continually kept watch over him. She seldom left

him and when he was out of her sight

he was afraid he would kill himself

Physicians found that the man's in-

.testines, liver and appendix were in

Che same condition as were Jesse Mc

Coy's.

CONCERTS THIS

WINTER NOT LIKELY

Lack of Patronage in Past to

Prevent Entertainments.

"Richmond will probably not get liny musical concerts this winter as

they have for the past several years,

was the statement made by a well

known Richmond man who is interest ed in music, this morning. The rea

son assigned is poor support of past

concerts.

There has been a lack of patronage for the various recitals and concerts not only by those who pay for their

tickets, but also by those to whom tickets are given In fact it has

been one of the difficulties of the pro

moters of such events to secure any

kind of an audience.

Washington, July 29. Dr. Harvey W. Wiley, chief chemist of the depart

government "poison squad" and advo

000,000 other Americans during the

hot weather.

In a recent warning to the public he advised the eating of stewed prunes,

peaches and cream and cereals and the

drinking of ice water. Some one,

who didn't take kindly to this sugges

HE" WAS SCARED.

Why the Drummer Made Record Tim Out of Pittsburg. "I am not a man to brag," said the Cincinnati drummer, "but I feel that 1 can honestly say that I was never real scared but one time in my life, and that happened a year ago." . When asked in a casual way to back up his statement with particulars, he continued: "I was at a hotel in Pittsburg. I had a room on the third floor, and in coming out of it on an occasion 1 bumped against a man who was passing, i was feeling in ugly mood that day and when the bump came I shot off my mouth at the stranger. He replied in kind, and I suddenly shot out my left and caught him on the point of the chin and dropped him like a log." "And. you thought you had killed him?" "No. He lay there and snored like a seal, and I went downstairs and told the clerk he had better see to him. Three minutes later I had twenty different men around me begging me to fly for my life." "But why?" "Because I had knocked out a middleweight prize fighter who had won over thirty battles. Gee whiz, but when they told me who the chap was my knees gave under me, my mouth got dry as cotton, and I didn't stop for my grip. I was dusting across the river within ten minutes, and I didn'1 feel safe for the next three days. Lordy, but think of it a dry goods drummer who had never had a glove on knocking out a champion middleweight! Did I run? Well, I made record time, all right." Chicago News.

Urinary troubles, diabetes, Bright's Blsease follow. A Richmond citizen tells here a certain cure. Dallas Cassel, living at 711 South Eighth St., Richmond, Ind., says: "I

think it was about fifteen years ago

that I was cured by Doan's Kidney Pills. At that time I was working, and in the course of a hard day's work tad quite a bit of heavy lifting which

brought on severe backache and dizzy

headaches. I had tried several rem

cdies but with no effect Finally I was induced to get a box of Doan's Kidney Pillg at A. G. Luken & Co's. drug store. After I had taken them for a short time the dull aching in back disappeared and with it the headache.

THE BUCKBOARD. Invented In the Year 1820 by a Pennsylvania Doctor.

Though the name "buckboard" Is ap

plied to thovsands of carriages, few people know how the word came to be used.

Back around 1820, says the American

Vehicle, in explaining it, when the

A few days ago the noted chemist

was finally run to earth in a Pennsyl

vania avenue restaurant punishing a meal that might have well graced the

table of the hardest working farm la

borer in the land. It embraced crabs, (the large sort) one large steak, a special salad, some mugs of musty ale, and the usual trimmings. When cornered Dr. Wiley acknowledged the

corn.

"It's true, I"m not following my own

directions," he explained, "but then

years afterward was the military store

keeper at Washington, was in charge

of military stores en route to army posts in the southwest.

In east Tennessee much difficulty

tvas experienced by reason of the rough

roads, and there were frequent mis

haps, mostly from the wagons over

turning.

Dr. Buck overhauled the outfit, and,

abandoning the wagon bodies, long boards were set directly on the axles or hung below, and the stores were loaded in such a manner that there

San Francisco Chronicle.

Chicago, July 29. The Chicago po

lice believe that at last they have in

custody one of the leaders of the

black hand" society, who is also ac

cused of being a maker or bombs, a

murderer and a white slave agent. The

suspect is Joseph Ruffino, announce

ment of whose capture at Milwaukee

was made yesterday. Ruffino's wife,

Sandino, was also arrested. He is a

native of Italy and is said to be want

ed by the police of many cities in this

country and Italy.

Francisco Puffino, a brother of Jo

seph, took Enrichetta Vaccarina, '21

years old, to Rochester, N. Y., and at

tempted to murder her, it is alleged,

because she knew too much about

their "black hand" dealings. The wo

man was a "white slave" brought to

this country five months ago. The

Vaccarina woman revealed many

"black hand" plots and a murder alleged committed by the brothers in Italy.

When the detectives searched two trunks which Joseph Ruffino left they found two revolvers, several stilettos,

three pairs of brass knuckleo, pieces of

gas pipe, about 20 bottles filled with

various ingredients used in making

bombs, and dies and stamps used by

the "black hand" in signing the let

ters.

HAD BEEN IN JAIL

Yet It Did Not Prejudice His Standing

as a Witness. An Important case was being tried

before the criminal coutt of the Dis

trict of Columbia. An old negro was

in the witness box. The district attorney commenced:

"What is your name?" "John Williams, sah." "Are you the John Williams who was

sent to the Albany penitentiary ror larceny?"

"No, sah not this John." "Are you the John Williams who was

convicted of arson and sent to the Baltimore penitentiary?"

"No. sah."

"Have you ever been in any peniten

tiary?"

"Yes, sah." All eyes were now turned upon the

witness. The district attorney smiled complacently and resumed:

"How many times have yon been in

the penitentiary?"

"Twice, sah." "Where?" "In Baltimore, sah." "How long were you there the first

timer

"About two hours, sah." "How long the second time?" asked

the attorney, rather crestfallen.

"An hour, sah. I went there to

whitewash a cell that was wanted for

a lawyer who had robbed his client."

The attorney sat down amid the

laughter of the spectators.

Between the fact that ladies are admitted free at the Gennett again tonight and that Miss Myrtle Bigden, leading woman, is to introduce the directoire gown in Richmond, it is believed the house will be inadequate to accommodate all who wish to attend.

Pittsburg, Pa., July 29. Openwork bathing suits have been tabooed in

Pittsburg, where the public of both sexes has shown a disposition to

bathe in the different lakes and ponds.

Director of Public Safety Edward G.

Lang has just issued an order that the

police must 6ee that every bather,

male or female, who takes a plunge

inside the city limits "be suitably and

completely clothed from neck to knee," and the police are empowered

to arrest any one bathing in trunks

on the charge of indecent exposure.

Director Lang said this afternoon:

"I took a look about town where

people were bathing and I want to

say that some of the bathing costumes

were the flimsiest affairs I ever saw,

They were absolutely indecent and I

have decided to put a stop to It. Here

after there must not be so much of

any one's person exposed, and if they insist on trunks, etc., why in a cell

they go. The women have got to

wear stockings, too, and gowns with

high necks."

The Effort of Hia Life a Failure.

W. S. Gilbert had a novel experience

before he wrote for the stage, when he was a barrister waiting for his first brief. It was long In coming, and

when it did come Mr. Gilbert deter

mined, of course, to make the effort of

his life.

He was intrusted with the prosecu

tion of an old Irish woman for stealing a coat and when he began the speech that he had prepared and rehearsed so carefully, the old dame at once began

to interject: "Oh, ye divil, sit down!"

'Sure, now, he's a loier, yer honor!" "Sit

down, ye spalpeen!" "He's known to

all the perllce, yer honor!" After some minutes of this abuse Gilbert asked

the recorder's intervention, but that of

ficial was too busy laughing. So the

effort of his life was not a success.

Present Giving Worse Than Tipping

The trend of the times makes Itself felt In the matter of presents and

present giving. In the days of our

grandmothers these tokens of affection

were few and far between and were

marked by a stern simplicity. But we hare changed all that, and the up to

date riot of presents means a deadly

drain on our bank balances.

Why Suffer?

If you suffer pain from any cause, Dr. Milesf' AntiPain Pills will relieve it and leave no bad aftereffects. That's the important thing. "Neither do they create a habit. More often the attacks become less frequent, or disappear altogether. Dr. Miles' Anti-Pain Pills have no other effect except to relieve pain and quiet nervous irritation. "We are never without Dr. Miles Anti-Pain Pills. My husband and son. ag-d 15 were always subject to sick headache until we began using these P11U. and they have broken them up entirely. Don't think they have had to use them for six months. I recommend them to every one. A few weeks ago I heard an old lady friend was sick. I went to see her. She was down with LaGrlppe. and nearly crazy with awful backache. I (rave her one of the AnU-Pain Pills and left another for her to take in a short time. They helped her right away, and she says she will nerer bo without them again. Last winter my husband was taken with pluerisy oa both sides, and I know he would have died if it hadn't been for the Pills. In le?s than half an hour he waa sweatinjr. and went to bed and sl.pt."
