nt Ih.r HOlllc ou Pouit' Ii Slr'ct.
Mrs. F. M. McFarland , wife of a. retired
capitalist , committed suicide yesterday at her
home at GI2 Fourth street by drinking car-
belie acid As to her motive the family
claim to have no Imowledge. She has been In
poor health for about two years , and has suf-
ferell from 11 chronic melancholia. Last
spring her husband , embarked In an unlucky
venture , which cost him It large sum of
Inoney. That worried her and . she conceived
the Idea that they were on the road to
penury. The relations between her and , her
husband , the latter states , have always been
pleasanL
Yesterday morning about 7 o'clock Mr. Mc-
Farland went out Into the back yard before
his wife was up. As he was walking about
she came to the door In her night clothes and ,
called : out to him , "Look alter the children. "
The door then hut ' , and a few minutes later
McI'arlaml started to go around the house to
go up town. But the last remark of his wife '
kept running through his mind , allli he do-
cilled to go back to see what she meant.
When he reachml the bedroom ho roun,1 , her
' In convulsions. The odor of carbolic aclll was
I very Ilerceptlbl. allli her mouth was burned
by the acid. A thorough search was made
In the room , and , Indeed , through the house ,
but no vial could be foul tl containing acid.
Five minute alter she took the poison she
was nnconsclous. Several physicians worked ,
with her all morning. Occasionally they :
would think she might regain consciousness ,
but at last , at 2:30 : In the afternoon , she died.
The coroner was summoned , but decided It
was 11 clear case of suicide and declined to
hold an Inquest.
Mrs. Mcl arlllnd's maiden name was Emma
A. Donning , and her parentsllIve ; at Casey.

"In golrg thrcugh the sla'e , " laid President
Conaway , "we find republicans In a most
harmonious condition , and everything points
to success at the polls General Drake Is
making a good record In his speeches , and
what little feeling was aroused by the de.
de-I
feat of the Harlan man Is rapidly being
cleared away. " !
Chairman McMlItin of the state central
committee Is anxious to have It understood
that the league Is not In the least : to be con-
slderell as a rival of the central committee.
"It Is merely a sort or a dress parade
miffair , " said he } , "which keeps the boys together -
gether , and gets them out on the occasion of
any big demonstration. But the real work
or the campaign Is done by time state committee -
mittee , and tIme league co-operates with It . "
