Hansen, ion of K. Hansen, & wall known farmer reald Ias MTfnl mlle.i Bouthca.it of this city, took hit own life last night by using strychnine. He -was found dead In the back yard of Mrs. L. Kraft's residence property at about S o'clock this morning. Hansen was an acquaintance of Mrs. Kraft and her , daughter. Miss Lena. He had called at their home last night and was complain- ' las of his affairs and, It appears, especially over Ms relations with another young woman, to whom. It Is expected, he re ferred In a farewell note as "my first love." Mrs. Kraft spoke kindly to him, encourag ing him to brace up and forgot the mat ters orer which he seamed to bo despondent. About 11 o'clock ho asked for a cup, saying I km desired to got a drink. Ho went out and ' did sot return and Mrs. Kraft, a highly rc- ' spected widow, and daughter thought no -more of the matter. This morning when ''Mrs. Kraft arose she saw a man lying out J in tho back yard near the fence. His dress I struck: her Immediately as that of Hansen, i Sha called a neighbor, O. A. Klndel, and the latter found that tho man wan dead, Coroner Itocder was at onco notified and a search of tho man's clothing revealed vboukb strychnine on him to kill a hun dred people.

Doth the Hansen and tho Kraft families aro woll to do and esteemed and tho only posslolc causo that can bo nsshsnrd Is that Indicated by tho younn man disappointment In his love affair, Coroner Harder will, however, have n Jury's Terdlct In tho matter.

Sou Hi Amerlpnn Cnniillieln Devour Their Sniiernnitiinled lletntlvrn. The pleasant nnd economical custom ft entlng old nnd Infirm relatives Is still con inon among muny native tribes of Sc'tth America. Tho Mayorunas do not stick even nt rating their own parents and children. Indeed, thoy look tnon this disposal or the unfit as a sort of pious duty. Tho traveler Osculati speaks of finding a baptized member ot thin trlbo very sick nnd woeplng bitterly. When asked the seanon ot his grief tho Indian replied that In a llttlo while ho woutd bo food for worm, whereas If ho had not been baptized his nearest relatives would havo eaten him. Clearly ho profcrred thin method of sep ulchcr. Tho Ynmnns of the upper Amazon suck tho marrow from tho bones of their dead nnd thereby, nccordltig to their belief, transfer the souls of tho departed to tholr own bodies. The Kaslilbos on the Pachltca river ap parently combine a religious rlto with their entlng of the old. When an old man Is told that, his Inst day Is at hnnd he exhibits signs of great satisfaction, Haying Ihnt ho will soon coo his old friends onco mora. Then preparations aro mndo for a big feast nnd tho old man Is knocked on tho head with a club nnd devoured body and bones, for oven Iho bones aro crushed to towder, stowed Into a broth and swallowed. No waste Is nil owed In tho Kashlbos' kitchen, These gcntlo savages novor cat tho flesh of women, as they consider It poisonous nud also attribute lo It tho property ot making Its enter effeminate nnd cowardly.

When a father has become old and unabln to follow tho tribe In lis wanderings ho en treats his son lo kill htm. Tho eon oboys nnd tho body Is roasted nnd eaten by tho wholo family to tho accompaniment ot loud howls nnd shrieks of grief. Ilerberg says of tho wild tribes of Canon, In Colombia, that the husband cats his wife, tho son tbo fnthcr and the brother bis brother or sister. Tho view Hint ennnlballsm Is prompted by a real liking for human flesh has been gen erally nbandoned. Cannibalism Is most rampant In tropical regions, whero thero Is nn abundance at animal food.
