Kelley, assistant cashier at the 1" irst National bank of South Bend, , committed suicide last Wednesday by . ■ shooting himself through the heart. The : deed was done at 2 o’clock in the after- > noon but the fact was not discovered until (5 o’clock. Bank Examiner Vance arrived there on Wednesday very unexpeetedly, which disturbed Kelley quite I noticeably. Ivellcy, who had always run over the deposit ledger with the examiner, did not do so this time. The examiner found a big discrepancy in the books and when he asked Cashier Kimball for an explanation the latter referred him to Kelley. As Kelley seemed very busy at the time, Vance went to another bank, • I saying that he would soon return. Kelley in the meantime left the bank with out his coat or hat. His prolonged ab pence attracted attention and Kelley's brother, Al Kelley, was telephoned for. The brother arrived about 6 o’clock and began a search. Going to his residence he found the cellar door open and his brother lying dead at the bottom of the steps with a bullet hole through his heart and a revolver by his side. He called assistance and the coroner was summoned. In the dead man's pockets were several letters, one of which was addressed to Examiner Vance. In this letter Kelley said there was a shortage of >2l,b’S. which he had beep able to conceal since L9l. He said that his estate I would make good the loss, he being heavily insured. Kelley was a society leader and verv luxurious in his tastes. He was , connected with the bank as a trusted ' employe for 27 years. His age was 17. In India there is a species of butterfly in which the male has the left wing yellow and the right wing red. The colors on the female are vice versa.

'improvement in one branch of the ■ att> nd* i with c rr spouding ad- , •cc ii others: thus impressb / one : that a few more wars,and the washboard will be ;1 thii g ■ t the past. Indeed the 1 Tedious ai 'l laborious work • f washing ! . 5 fast di' i; ; ari; g, and a very short time, at most, and it will have had its dav. Among the latest and most sat isf‘dorv inventions in this line is the si.ivLi.iuc, winch has gamed a world wide reputation for doing excellent work. The Sunbeam, unlike • ' all lever rotating or cogwheel machines, which will tire the arms, wrench the back or strain the chest of an ordinary woman ’ while standing up to work them, can be ■ and is best worked with ease to the op--1 1 orator by sitting, and the work is done r I with very little expenditure of muscle. ! Being closed, it prevents splashing of I water and inhaling of steam, so injurious 1 i to health, and retains the temperature ’ so necessary in removing the dirt from j goods, and freeing them from all oily and greasy substance. ’ This machine is guaranteed to thorr oughly cleanse all kinds of clothing t without the aid of the washboard, save boiling the clothes and do the entire work. The operator, while sitting in an easy chair, can do a family washing in one-fourth the time required by any b other machine upon the market. It is built of the best material, substantially ; made and neatly finished. With proper care, it will last for many years. Largest endorsement of any machine upon the market.
