WUHAN DIES IS CONVULSIONS
Ddubt Whether Jin. Alex Wiihart
Took Poison to End Life.
MAY HAVE BEEN IN HYSTERIA
Wife of I'nlas Parlfla Night Witrh.
man Kaplrva Suddenly .Kollowln
Heated Qnarrel with Her
lloahnad.
Mrs. Minnie Wishart, aged 30 years, wife
of Alexander Wishart, employed as a night
watrhmen at the Vnlon Pacific, transfer
yards In Council Bluffs, died In convulsions
shortly after 10 o'clock Wednesday nlgiit
at her horn?, 1537 East Broadway. The
suddenness of her death and other circum
stances oonnecttd with the case caused
some of her friends to' suspect she com
mitted suicide by taking strychnine.
Ih-; A. P. Hnnchett, who was called to
attend Mrs. Wishart, was unable yeBterday
to say that she had taken poison wltl) sui
cidal Intent or whether her deafti was due
to hysteria spasms.
"When t called on Wednesday night I
asked her If she had taken poison or
anything to kill herself, and when she
satd she had not X took her word
for It. She appeared to be a woman suf
fering from hysteria spasms. Convulsions
from strychnine and ' from hysteria are
almost exactly alike. Even had I known
that the had taken strycanine, I could not
hare saved her wheu I arrived; the poison,
if any was taken,-, had already been assimi
lated and nothing could have saved her."
Coroner Treynor stated last evehlng that
ha would not hold u Inquest. "Clrcum
stanoea surrounding the case were such
that It was likely the woman had taken
poison with suicidal Intent. To ascertain
whether Mrs. Wishart took strychnine, an
autoisjr would be necessary, and we would
have to sond the viscera away for exam
ination. I fall to see what good could be
accomplished by putting the county to this
expense," said Dr. Treynor.
Couple Lived Vnhapplly. .
Friends say that Mrs! Wlsnart and her
husband had not lived happily for the
Uul oaai' a-iid frd, fiiUnt QuSJTCls. This
was admitted by Mr. Wishart yesterday.
Owing to these quarrels Mrs.. Wishart on
more than one occasion left her husband
and went to the home of ' her parents,
Mr. and Mra. W A. Johnson, who Hve In
Atlantic, la. After being away for a f hort
while the husband always Induced her to
return.. ome again. About a year ago
she commenced suit for divorce, alleging
eruel ' and Inhuman - treatment, but they
patched up .their troubles and she with
drew the petition.
Wednesday afternoon Mrs. Wishait and
her husband were down town shopping
and on returning "home are said to have
had, a bitter quarrel. Shortly after her
husband left for his work at the transfer
depot about I o'clock Mrs. Wishart tele
phoned tq, Mrs. Q. C. Jensen, a pe'ghbor
residing at 1536 East Broadway, and asked
her to com over to the house. Mrs. Jen
sen Instead sent hcr lHUe daughter. "Abiut
I o'clock the little girl came home and told
her mother that Mra. Wishart was siok.
When Mrs., Jensen reached the Wishart
home Mrs. Wishart was having a 000 vul

sever nervous spells, Mrs. Jensen did not
attach any serious importance to it. Aa

Woman Bapected to Die. ''
What made. Mrs. Jensen suspect that
Mrs, Wishart had taken poison was thai
Mrs. Wiihart said before the doctor and
her husband reached the house: "I'll be at
peace. Everything will be all right now.
1 know I am going to die. . I want to die."
"I don't know whether Mrs. Wishart
killed herself or not," said Mra. Jensen
yesterday afternoon when seen at the
Wishart home. When I went to the house
last evening I thought she was having a
nervous fpell, but she got worse and died
In convulsions. The doctor gave her some
thing lo ease her and she seemed to get
better for while, but after he left she
got worse again. Just before she died she
called her husband over to the bed and
asked him to forgive her for what aha had
done and said God bad already. Hh said
she had taken something and that w
would find a bottle. I think she was de
lirious wnen she said this. We have
searched every nook and corner of the
house, but we have not been able to find
any bottle or anything else that contained
poison."
The husband suld he did hot know
whether his wife had taken poison or not.
She told him, he said, she had taken some
thing. "We had quarreled before J went
to work last evening, but it wac nothing
worse than usual. My wife was a very
sickly woman and frequently had severe
nervous spells. We had been married
about seven year and until a little over a
year ago we were"-very happy. For the
last year; however, we have Vot gotten
along very well and w had frequent quar
rels."
Mrs.- Wishart leaves besides her husband
a young son. The body will be taken thia
morning to the home of her parents in
Atlantic where the funeral will be held.

Democrats
May Try to Get
Convention
City Now Has Place for Big Meeting
and Feels Entitled to State
. Gathering.
Prominent local democrats are seriously
considering making an effort to secure
tho st.-Uo convention of their party for
Council Rlu.'fs this summer. The matter
probably will be brought before the Com
mercial club soon with a view to makin?
an organized move to have the convention
held here. It Is the opinion of several
of the lending democrats In this city that
Council Dluffs can get the convention, if
It goes after It In proper time and In
earnest. J. J. Hughes, secretsry of the
Board of Education, is the Ninth district
member of the democratic state central
committee, and he fuvors going after the
convention. He expressed himself yes
terdsy as confident Council Bluffs could
secure the meeting If the proper effort
wa-t made.
"A state convention 1b a big hlil."
said Mr. Huahes. "and heretofore Council
Bluffs has not been In shape to enUTtaln
a gathering of such size. Heretofore It
had no hall or building able to accommo
date a satherins of 1,000 or more dele
gates, not to speuk of the usual crowd of
outsiders who attend Bucli conventions.
Council Bluffs, however, Is now in good
shapo to handle a convention crowd. The
new Auditorium would make an Ideal con
vention hall, nd If the hotels of this city
should be overtaxed Omaha could take
caro of the overflow. 1 can see no reafton
why Council Bluffs should not make a
bid for the convention, and I believe It
can be brought here. Council Bluffa has
not had the democratic state convention
for many years, and wo are now In ex
cellent shape to issue tha Invitation pro
viding the Commercial club and buslnoas
men will take hold of it and do the right
thing"
Under the primary law state conventions
must be held not earlier than the third
Thursday and not later than the fifth
Thursday after the primary. The primary
will be held this year on Tuesday, June
7, and the limits for holding tha state
conventions of both parties will therefore
be June 23 to July 7. Inclusive. The state
central committee of each party decides
the date and location of the convention.
The expense attendant on entertaining
the convention, it la estimated, would not
exceed $500, and It 1 not believed there
would be the slightest trouble la raising
this small amount.
Proposed Slate
Road in Iowa
Good Boads Convention Will Discuss
Means to Bring Project
About. . .
Council Bluffa will hare a representative
delegation at the Good Roads convention
to be held In Des Moines March S and t.
Mayor Maloney received a personal letter
from Governor Carroll urging him to at
tend, the ' convention and requesting h.m
to appoint five delegates from. this city,
In bta letter Governor Carroll said: . .
It Is Important that your city should
be represented In order, that you can be
heard In the recommendations and sugges
tions which this convention will make to
the-session of th general assembly la the
way of proposed good road ielsla.lon.
You are urged to appoint at ,eat five
delegates to represent your olty In tnls
convention and to bring to the ' meeting
the Ideas of your community upon this im
portant subject.
In compliance with the governor's re
quest Mayor Maloney yesterday appointed
th following to represent Council Bluffa
at th oonventlon: II, A. Bertschy, H. A.
Searles, Frank Children, Harry Van Brunt
and W. H. James. The f tret -named four
are enthusiastic automoblllsts and active
workers for the oauae of good roads. Mr.
James Is president of the Pottawattamie
County Rural letter Carriers' association
and Is probably the most ardent advocate
of good roads In this section of th coun
try. '
A delegation will also be appointed by
th Commercial club and the Board of Ba
pervllors will name a delegation from th
county at large. Colonel W. F. Baker of
this city will be one of the supervisors
to attend and he will be on of the active
delegates In the convention.
One of the principal - matters to be dis
cussed at this convention Is the proposed
state 'road-to be built across Iowa from
Davenport ' on the east to Council Bluffs.
The people of Council Bluffs are greatly
Interested In the project. Mayor Maloney
and the officials of the Commercial club
have assured Governor Carroll they will
co-operate with him In every way they pos
sibly can and that he can depend on th
support of the people of Council Bluffs and
vicinity.
Mayor Maloney will attend the convention
and take an active part In the proceedings.
Some time ago he was asked to submit
plana for 'the building of th proposed stale
road and In rssponse to this request from
the governor he sent hlm-an outline of the
plan he had In mind. Mayor Maloney
favors a plan whereby each county and
township shall build Its part of th road
and pay the cost out of th county and
township road funds. Hs will advocate this
policy In th convention.

Model License League.
The National Model license league Is an
organization whose active and ' associate
members are men Interested directly and
collaterally In the legalised . manufacture
snd sale of alcoholic beverages. It exists
for the avowed purpose of advocating the
enncitnent of laws designed "to take the
liqnor question out of politics" and to put
the lawbreakers out of the liquor bualneas."
TheTnodel UcenseTlaw was formulated at a
meetlng of ten men In Louisville In Oc-
tober. 1907. and was submitted to the trade
and to the public at a convention held In
Louisville In January, 1903. . The latest
jneetlng of the league was in St. Louis last
week.
The league's official "solution of the
liquor problem" comprises four principal
clauses as follows: Permanent licenses,
automatic suspension and cancellation of
licenses for law-breaking, limitation of
licenses In proportion to population, and
moderate license fees. The first clause Is
the most radical of the four, and is the
most difficult to advocato successfully
In view of th fact that it Is so readily
branded as an attempt to perpetuate the
hquor business. The league officers say
tha.t the automatic renewal clause has but
one object and that is to take the liquor
dealer out of politics by making him inde
pendent of political licensing boards.
It Is contended by the league that when
ever a man's right to enter and remain In
business is subject to a great extent to
the good-will of a politician, that man
must necessarily take an active Interest
In polltlca. It is suggested that the licensed
liquor men who violate the law do so for
profit, and that If Jaw-breaking is made
unprofitable these offenses will ceae.
Much stress Is laid on the desirability of
passing no laws except those that have
the loyal support of all cltlsens. In other
words. If the law la fair to both the dealer
and his customer, neither will have any
desire to break It
The theory of th loagiie Is that the op
eration of a model license law would pre
vent the continuance of an undue number
of licensed places by giving full play to
th law of ttie survival of the fittest. Ac
cording to this view the number cf per
maJtnt . retailers would adjust its -If. If
too many, license wet Issued the surpius
number would be forced to withdraw fir
lack of patronage. If some yielded to the
temptation to violate the law they would
be forced out of business by the operation
of the mandatory clauses compelling the
suspension and cancellation of the llce::s
of law-breakers. The league holds that If
the retailer has political Independence
and a profitable business which lie can
retain so long only aa he conduots It ac
cording to- law, he will be most anxious
to obey the law.
The handbook recently published, by the
liquor Interests contains summary . of
every argument that may be advanoed by
tha.antl-temperanc people. It claim that
nowhere els can such cleanliness be found
as in th brewery and distillery, and cavs
that the dairy people ought to visit aa
up-to-date brewery for an object lesson
In keeping, things clean. Every bottle is
sterilised in very hot. steam, all water I
filtered and distilled and tho br Is then
paatuertied to catch th stray germ that
might otherwise survive. Then the bottle
Is made air-tight and goe to tha con
sumer . abrut as germ free - aa anything
can be. Since a London committee of
scientists declared beer to be a food tb.3
brewer-, elalm to offer the olcanest food
on the market. , ', (
This book also claims, that In Italy,'
where . men, women and '. children drink
wins , at their meals, there la less intem
perance than In America. Ex-Ambassador
White is quoted to this effect, and he de
clares that he found th same true - In
Germany, where everybody drinks beer.
The book also claims that the men engaged
In the manufacture - of beer and -whisky
are the best paid workmen In the country,
and offers statistics from the census office
to prove Its statement. - The liquor Inter
ests claim- to pay in state and federal rev
enues the annual sum of 1250,000.000, with
an added (70,000,000 for taxes. They claim
to represent an Investment of nearly a
billion dollars. The capital tied up in the
manufacture of spirituous and malt liquor
amounts' to more than taOO,000,OCO, and to
retail businee represents the rest.
It is declared that while nearly 13,000 re
tailers and some 700 wholesalers were put
out of business by restrictive legislation
last year, the government figures show a
heavier consumption of liquors during 1909
then during the previous year; and that the
temperance legislation simply is restricting
the number of dealers but not the number
of consumers. However, the previous year
was the panlo year, and probably that
fact was not taken Into the reckoning.

backs for 1.500. All the steins are carefully
washed with boiling water at night, and
stacked away for the next day. .Before
being served each man helps himself to a
stein, takes It to a stream of water which
Is kept running all the time, washes It
with such degree of care as suits his taste,

laws. It Is John Barleycorn In tabloid
form, the very essence of whisky Impris
oned in a little gelatine tablet. One can
take his choice, chew It like a cough drop
or dissolve It In a little water and drink
It. A beer tablet that will keep for nix
months was Invented recently, but putting
old John Barleycorn himself into a tablet
Is the newest thing.
Central America probably will enter the
field as an Important producer of spirit
uous liquors. Eperlments Indicate that-a
fine quality of Bplrlts can be made from
baranas that are unfit for shipment. Each
bunch of bananas will yield a gallon of
spirits at a cost less than that of manu
facturing whisky In the United States,
which would seem to Indicate that distil
leries can be made a very profitable In
vestment In banana shipping ports.
Mr. George G. Brown, vice president of
a local license league, is one of the; best
known distillers and wholesalers In Ken
tucky. He has been an active member of
the Presbyterian church for forty , years
and has made a careful study of the Bible
in regard to the use of wine and ' strong
drink. Recently he compiled a type
written pamphlet giving the full text of
every verse In the Bible that contains the
words "wine" or "strong drink." In the
heading the declaration la made that while
the Bible condemns Intemperance, It not
only falls to advocate prohibition, but com
mends and commands the temperate use of
alcoholic beverages. Some of the verses
used to emphasize this claim are as fol
lows: "Therefore God give thee of the dew of
heaven, and the fatness of the earth, and
plenty of corn and wine." . Genesis
xxvll, 28.
"And for a drink offering thou shalt
offer th third part of an hln of wine, for
a sweet savour unto the Lord." Numbers
xv, 7.
"Go thy way, eat they bread with Joy,
and drink thy wine with a merry heart,
for God now accept eth tby works."
Eccleslaates lx, 7. ' V '
"I come Into my garden, my sister, my
spouse, I have gathered my myrrh with
my spice, I hae eaten my honey-comb
with my honey, I have drunk my wine
with my milk: eat, O friends, drink, yea,
drink abundantly, O beloved." Song of
Sovomon v, l.
, "Drink no longer water, hut use a little
wine for thy stomach's sake and thine
often Infirmities." First Timothy v, 23.
