cer, constable of this precinct, ehot and
killed himself here this morning. He
went to the sheriff's office about 9 o'clock
and borrowed a revolver from the sheriff.
He then went down to Justice Dixon's
court and finished up some work he had
to do. About 10 o'clock he was found
with a bullet hole clear through his head
and the revolver by his side. He was
still alive, but unconscious. A physician
called, who, upon examination, pro
nounced the wound fatal. He lingered
until noon, when be died without having
regained his consciousness. Mr. Spen
cer was about 60 years of age, and leayes
a widow and six children. He was
elected constable on the populist ticket
last June, and haB made a very efficient
officer. He has been quite despondent
lately, saying the office did not pay
enough to support his family. He
owned a house and lot at Canemab,
where he resided.

It was a little after 4 o'clock when
; -'She aroused her husband, Rev. Boss
Taylor. He found the halls tilled' with
smoke, the fire having obtained great
headway, Mr. and Mrs. Taylor groped
their way through the suffocating smoke
to the outer air, without having been
able to extend a helping hand to their
. six children or others of-the household.

recovered two hours later. Michael
Mulady, laborer, and Edward Link and
William Ruth, house decorators, sleep

The funeral of the four children was
held at 11 a. m. today. The four charred
bodies were placed in one casket. -Rev.

Wholesale Poisoning-.
Colusa, Oct. 22. Twenty-two in
mates of the county hospital were
poisoned yesterday" by strychnine in
:. their coffee. One man died. No further
deathB have resulted from the poisoning
of the inmates of the county hospital.
Mrs. Ingram, wife of the superinten
dent, is still very sick, but will recover.
The accepted theory is a discharged
. Chinese cook, who had trouble with the
steward, entered the hospital during the
bight and put the strychnine in a can of
r ground coffee. ' No arrests.
Suicide of a Drunkard.
Cincinnati; Oct. 22. Jacob Vogeli, a
ville last night, and 'going home began
to abuse his family, and a policeman
wascalled. Nogeli; when sober, is the
.' best of husbands and fathers. He had
been arrested once or' twice before.
When the police came they walked him
to the station. They were followed by
Vogeli'8 12-year-old daughter, Emma,
who went to Policeman ' Calvin and
Highest of all in Leavening
Mm
told him her father had threatened sui
cide, and just before he was arrested she
had seen him take something white.
The policeman laughed at the child. In
her agony of fear the little girl got down
on her knees and begged him to send
her father to the hospital, but (she was
again refused. Afterwards the police
man went back. Vogeli wasin the cell
half clad and suffering. The policeman
went to call a patrol. Ten minutes later
it came and in the cell dead on the floor
lay the man whose life his little girl had
pleaded for in vain. .
The Crop of Backers This Year Seems
to Be Very Large.
Pittsbuhg, Oct. 22. The news of the
closing up by the police of the "public
stock and produce exchange" and the
"discretionary pool" concern on Satur
day brought great crowds of 'investors
from the country into town,, showing
how wide spread have been the opera
tions of these concern. The Delarneys,
who operated the "public stock and pro
duce exchange," secured a release on
bail for a hearing this evening. At the
office this morning they announced to
their clients that, as their books were in
the bands of the police, they would be
unable to pay out money or do business
except to recieve notices of the with
drawal of deposits. All the discretion
ary pools have a clause in their agree
ments by which they can insist upon 30
days' notice of withdrawal. The Con
solidated Stock & Produce Company,
another discretionary pool, did not open
its doors today. Hundreds of investors,
who went to the office to withdraw their
deposits, were confronted with a notice
that the firm had temporarily suspended.
Washington Force, the manager, was not
there, and no one appeared to know of
his whereabouts. Warrants have been
issued for him. Other pools are ex
pected to suspend at any moment, and
excitement among investors is running
high. By the books of the Delaneys it
is shown that over half of the investors
were women, most of them domestics
and washerwomen, who fancied they
had found an easy road to wealth.
Sixty Were Killed.
Baltimore, Oct. 22. Captain Hud
gins, of the coffee bark Dom Pedro II.,
now in port, gives a graphic description
of a dynamite explosion that occurred in
Rio a few days previous to September 6,
when tiia vessel sailed for Baltimore.
Sixty persons were killed. A Brazillian
soldier discovered, near the English
cemetery, a subterranean magazine, in
which the insurgents of the recent re
bellion had concealed a large quantity of
gunpowder cartridges and dynamite
shells which they evidently intended
using against the government. The
soldier reported his find to the general
commanding, and a rough cart drawn
by two mules was sent to the scene to re
move the contents of the hidden maga
zine to a place of safety. A detachment
of soldiers accompanied the cart, and a
curious crowd of citizens followed it to
the little; hill which had been dug out to
hold the explosives. .A quantity of
shells had been placed in the cart and a
pile of others' had been passed out close
behind it when one of the soldiers,
while in the act of "handling a shell,
dropped it among the others'.- The same
second an explosion shook the earth, a
sheet of flame shot upward and a cloud
of whitiBh smoke hid everything from
view The vessels In the harbor rocked
at their moorings and the entire city was
thrown . into wild excitement. More
thon a 'ton of dynamite has exploded
from .the. dropping of. the shell. The
soldiers and mules .were -blown in frag
ments and only the iron tires of the cart
wheels were found.
A. Bloodthirsty Tenth.
San Francisco, Oct. 22. Eugene
Menesini, 19 years of age, who was re
cently discharged from . Granucci's
butcher shop on Stockton street, went
to the shop this morning and demanded
to be reinstated. His demand was re
fused, whereupon the youth whipped out
a revolver and fired two shots at Gran
ucci and an employe named Harant.
After their flight, neither being hit,
Menesini ehot himself in the head, dy
ing instantly. -

quent conflicts between Irish and Italian

There is no medicine so often needed
in every home and so admirably adapted
to the purposes for which it is intended,
as Chamberlain's Pain Balm. Hardly a
week passes but some member of the
family has need of it. A toothache or
headache may be cured by it. A touch
of rheumatism or neuralgia quieted.
The severe pain of a burn . or scald
promptly relieved and the sore healed in
much less time than when medicine has
to be sent for.' A sprain may be
promptly treated before inflamation sets
in, which insures a cure in about one
third of the . time otherwise required.
Cuts and bruises should receive im
mediate treatment before the parts be
come swollen, which can only be done
when Pain Balm la kept at hand. A
sore throat may be cured before it be
comes serious. A troublesome corn may
be removed by applying it twice a day
for a week or two. A lame back may be
cured and. several days of valuable time
saved or a pain in the side or chest re
lieved without paying a doctor bill. Pro
cure a 50 cent bottle .at once and you
will never regret it. For sale by Blakeley
& Houghton Druggists.

Every mother should know that croup
can be prevented. The first symptom of
true croup is hoarseness. This is fol
lowed by a peculiar rough cough. If
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is given
freely as soon as the child becomes
hoarse or even after the cough has de
veloped it will prevent the attack. 50
cent bottles for Bale by Blakeley &
Houghton, druggists.
Don't commit suicide on account of
your "incurable" blood disease. The
sensible thing for yon to do is to take
Ayer's Sarsaparilla. . If that fails, why,
then keep on trying, and it will not
fail. The trouble is, people get dis
couraged too soon. "Try, try,- try
again." )
