\V. H. nrniitlyiv _ well Known Council
Hluffs druggist , was found lying elcad yester
day morning shortly after T o'clock , back of
thu prescription cases In his store on Main
street. ( ! . T. Dale , a young man who works
in tlio store , opened up at that time. When
ho went back of tlio prescription case liu
was horrllled to see the form of his employer
lying prostr.uo on the Hoar , clothed only In
a night slilrt and pair of shoes. A hasty
examination showe.l that he had boon dead
but ii short time ) , portions of his body Doing
still warm , and the death rigor not having
sel In. The alarm was given , the coroner
notltled and the remains were taken to
Kstep's undertaking establishment , where
it was decl led to hold an inquest in the
afternoon.
.Myi li-ry Surrounding the Ilrutli.
There Is considerables mystery about his
death , and although the theory of sulcido at
oneo obtained , there art n number of clreum-
stain-OS that seem to indicate that there was
nothing premeditated on the part of the dead
mail. Morphine is supposed to have been
the instrument of death , but it Is hard to
understand why the boJy should have been
found lying prostrate on the Iloor , as It
usually takes sonio tlmo for tlio drug to do
Its work. There was nothing in ( ii-amly's
actions Monday niht | to load to the belief
that ho Intended nuking an attempt upon
Ills life. He spent : t part of the evening with
M. Dtiuettu ] and a number of other frienels ,
nnd although the conversation for a tlmo
touched on the subject of home , a point on
which hi * was always somewhat sensitive ,
the ) shade that passed over his c.iuutenaiico
w.is onl.v momentary , airl In a fe'.v minutes
lie secitu'el to be in Ills usual spirits.
Tlio dee-eased made a trip to bis old homo
in Canada last December , and while tlierei
ongagc-el in a hunting expedition during
which lie suffered greatly from exposures to
tlio cold. On tiis return he was taken very
ill , and his rouble turned into congestion of
the liver and finally resulted in a slomaeh
trouble that has never left him from that
day. His sickness has made him very < les-
spondent. ami it was ills favorite theme of
conversation with his fricn.ls. Ho seemed
to take it as a sort of insult for any one to
intimate that he was looking better than
usual.
Took un lull-rent III Poisons.
During this illness Dr. C. II. Plnney , who
lias attended him , states that on- ones or two
occasions ho remarleed how easy it would bo
to take something that would end till Ins
troubles , and ho as keel a number of questions -
tions iibnui the various deadly druirs that
showed ho was more interested In the matter -
tor than was then known. For two months
past ho lias neen a patient at tlio Woman's
Christian Association hospital. Monday
afternoon hr paid ills bill anil left , announc
ing his intention of stopping at the * drug
store over night , as hail been ills custom
before his illness. Ho aevordinply went to
tile store about locking-up time and tolel Mr.
Dale ihat he might go homo , as ho ( liramly )
would sleep in the store. Dale did not want
I to do this , and a sued ( Irandy to go to the
Ugtlcn house for the niu'ht , hut drandy was
determined to stay. When ho bid D.ile uood
night he seemeel to bo feeling as well as
usual , and there was no Indication in lisi
manner that ho contemplated enacting a
tragedy.
Many of ills frienels scout the idea of sui
cide , and think he tonic a dose of morphine to
fjuiet the pain from which ho was suffering
and accidentally pot an overdose. Hy ills
side upon thn Iloor lay an open be > ok contain
ing remedies for various ailments. On tlio
prescription ease stood an empty llask which
investigation showed hail contained mor
phine. A chemical application to the dead
man's face also indicated that lie had taken
morphine. These facts , with very few anil
unimportant additions , were brought before
the coroner's jury nt tlio afternoon session ,
and at the close of the inquest the jury , con
sisting of J. IJ. Atkins , F. W. Spotman am !
H. D. JIarl , returned a verdict llndlng thai
the deceased came to his death by an over
dose of morphine , but not llnding whether 01
not it was witli suicidal intent.

HARDWARE JOBBERS MEET.
Something About tinOliJpHu of tinI'rmrnt
The Mississippi and Missouri Hlver As
sociation of H'irdware , lejW > or.s met yesterday
noon at the Mercer hotel with Mr. Spaldlng
of Sioux City , In. , hi the chair and G. T.
Sprake of St. Joseph , Mo. , at the secretary's
desk. After an excellent dinner , various
subjects of interest to the wholesalers , chief
among which was the maximum rate bill
and Its effects on Missouri river trade , were
discussed. About seventeen representatives
of the trade were present and a most enjoy
able time was had. The meeting closed last
evening.
In speaking of the me-ottng , one of the
members said : "We do not cure to say much
for publie-atlon because the retail dealers
feel that wo me-et simply to pool prices on
them. Now there Is no greater mistake
made on their part , for that is a practice
which we ( lls.-arded long ago. When the
organisation was llrst started wo elld tills ,
but members of the association would
not live up to their agreements
and wo found for this reason that thu plan
would not work at all. Again we did not bo-
Heve in blndliu ; our members to any particu
lar prices , because * we want all persons to be
free to compote with llrms east of our tcrrl-
ritory. H is very difficult , however , to con
vince the retailer that we are not working
against his Interest , end for this reason , wo
do not care to say much of our pro
ceedings. Wo have our annual meet
ings at Lake Ml nctonkii and meet
every spring and autumn at various
places within the district. At our session
today we found several persons who had not
been to Sioux City. We therefore concluded
to hold our nrxt meeting there. One of our
chief objects is to get bettor aequaintctl with
each other , and we have round these meet
ings very beneficial In this respect. "

mony to the vnluo of the greatest of al-
spring remedies , I'alno's Celery Com

Says Mother Teresa , in n le'ttor to the
Wells & Richardson Ce > . :
"Wo have give-n it a thorough trial
and llml it to bo all you claim for it.
We shall continue its use and recom
mend It to our Irlonds. "
The whole world knows that there Is
one true specific for diseases arising
from a debilitated ucrvoim system , anil
that is ljaltie's Celery Compound , so
generally tirosciibed by physicians.
It Is probably the most remarkable
i emedy Unit llio s"iontiilc research of
this c itiutry has produced , i'rof. Ed
ward E. Phelps , M. I ) . . L.L. D. of Dart
mouth college first proscribed what la
now known the world over as I'aino'si
Celery Comnound , a peisittvo euro for
dyspcnsla , biliousness , liver complaint ,
nouiaigia , rhe > umnti m , all nervous ills-
eases and kidney troubles. For the lat
ter , I'ltlno's Celery Compound has suc
ceeded again and ng.ilit wlioro every
thing el o has failed.
Tlio mcdU-.iil journals of this country
hnvo given more Hp.ico In tlio last few
years to tlio many remarkable cased
where the use of I'tilno's Celery Com
pound has iniiilo people well than any
