STILL ANOTHER SUICIDE. | CHAS. M. MATTHEWS DEAD. SWEETS PLENTIFUL. Maj. Frank Bell Blew His Brains Out | A Prominent Citizen of Georgetown | The Candy Exposition Goes on Its Yesterday. Lying on a couch in his room, with a bullet hole in his head and a large “bull- dog” revoiver in his hand, was found the | Geal body of Maj. Frank Bell yesterniay | afternoon. He was the fourth man within @ week's time to end his life with a revol- ver. Maj. Bell was fifty-six years old, and had been in the service of the pension of- fice for more than twenty years. Portville, N. Y., was his former home. For ten years he lived at 1102 Park place northeast. His wife left here several weeks ago and went to Seattle, Wash., for her health, one of her sons residing there. Maj. Bell had been sent as a pension ex- aminer to McKean county, Pa, and later he was sent to Florida. When he returned from the latter place two years ugo, he went to live at the house of Mr. Byrnes, corner of 6th and G streets northwest, only a few minutes’ walk from his cffice. There it was that he ended his life yesterday. Maj. Bell had served in the war and lost a | foot, but an artificial one served the pur- | Poses of the lost one so well that many of his intimate friends knew nothing of his maimed condition. Recently the pension examiner has shown signs of a disturbed condition of his mind, and seemed to imagine that the police were rsecuting him and were going to arrest im. He had been sick for years, suffering from stomach trouble and dyspepsia, and during fits of despondency he had said he felt like ending his life. On one occasion he took his pistol from his room and gave it away, because he feared he would end | his life during one of his despondent spells. Friday night he drove about the city in a cab and called at the houses of a number of |his friends. At the house of Detective | Carter he seemed considerably agitated. He showed signs of excitement to a degree that made it apparent that there was some- thing the matter. Saturday the major packed his trunk, pre- paratory to going home on a visit for a |few weeks. Yesterday morning at the | pete Carn he seemed as cheerful as ever and suicide was not even suspec those of his friends who saw him = Found Dead, About 1:30 o'clock Mr. and Mrs. Byrnes heard @ noise upstairs, but did not Tecog- nize the sound as the report of a pistol. Mr. Byrnes started upstairs to ascertain the trouble, but before going far the door bell rang and he went to the door. There he met Mr. A. L. Root, an intimate friend of Maj. Bell's from New York, and he was told by the boarding house keeper to go up to the room of his friend. Mr. Root opened the door, and remarked to Mr. Byrnes, “All right, here.” But it took him only an instant to ascertain the sad condition of affairs. There was smoke from the pistol still in the room. Maj. Bell was dead. The dead man had contemplated his rash act for some time before the shooting, for he wrote letters to members of his family and also one to Mr. Byrnes. In the letter to the latter he expressed a desire to have his body sent to Portville and interred in the famfly cemetery. He also mentioned his scare about being arrested for some crime, which was undoubtedly the result of an unbalanced mind. Undertaker Speare tcok charge of the body, and will send {t to Portville, as re- quested in the letter of the deceased. The death of Maj. Bell proved a serious shock to his many friends here. He was a generous man, and was never known to re- fuse a person asking for assistance. As a member of Mansonic lodges and Kit Carson Post, G. A. R., he made many friends. He was an astronomer and poet, and he was often selected to address his G. eee tha Masonic bodies. roner Woodward viewed the body, and deemed an inquest unnec is —_—-—>—_ AFFAIRS IN GEORGETOWN. The Usual Fute of the Peacemaker Agaix: Exemplided. While going up 34th street on Saturday the Georgetown reporter had his attention attracted by distressing sounds, coming from the windows and doors of a house. They seemed to be a mixture of walls, agonizing shrieks and discordant melodies, emanating from the throat of a youth whose voice was changing. Believing that either murder was being committed or a horrible torture perpetrated, he entered an open door on a hasty tour of investigation. At the top of the first flight of stairs the cause of it all was made known. Crowding in a corner, with about as much clothes on as had Venus when she entered the bath, was a boy of ten or eleven. Blood was seen all over his body. Standing over him with an implement that looked like a cudgel was a man whose resemblance to the boy proclaimed him his father. The chastisement he was inflicting was cruel, even brutak The reporter is humane, and he felt for the boy—not as much as the boy felt for himseif—but still he felt. So he thought he would heip the little fellow to stay on earth at least long enough to allow him to die with his shoes on. The Georgetown reporter was not large on Sat- urday. The cudgeler was. The reporter therefore couldn't make it a strictly per- sonal affair. Instead he made a biuff about calling the police. The bluff didn’t work. Instead of seeing the father droop, wilt, tremble and plead “don’t,” the father just took his eyes from the boy a moment, picked up a boot jack that was lying on an upturned frying pan and heaved it at the head of the reporter. It missed. “Hit him with the frying pan, pa,” yelled the boy at this moment, who had’ stopped his walls to watch the second encounter. ‘The Georgetown reporter has no face to be proud of, but he entertains a selfish at- tachment for what he has. To avoid its mutilation he therefore moved off. This he did with locomotive velocity the instant he saw the father start to act upon the son's suggestion. Then the would-be peacemaker went down town, hunted up a notary public, who takes acknowledgments for 25 cents, and in due legal form swore to forever restrain from lending assistance to small boys in domestic distress. The words of that ungrateful bo; ‘Hit him with the frying pan, pa,” are still ringing in his ears, Maryland Conference. Sixteen persons were received into full membership at Congress Street Methodist Protestant Church yesterday by the pastor, Rev. Walter R. Graham, and each present- ed with a discipline of the church.

THE RICHE: = Information Regarding the Osages of Kansas, Special Correspondence of The Evening Star. ARKANSAS CITY, Kan., March 81, 1894. | Located near this city are the Osages, | probably the richest tribe of Indians in the | world. They number about 30) men, wo- | men and children, each of whom receives | from the government between $300 and $400 | annvally in ipterest on the purchase price of | lands sold many years ago. In addition to this they derive a good income from the rent of land on the reservation now occupied by them, most of it being used by cattlemen | for grazing purposes. They are negotiating for the sale of the reservation, or that part of it which they do not wish to retain to be divided in severalty. Many of the Osages are highly educated and some of them enjoy all the luxuries of modern civilization. There are several mag- nificent residences on the little reservation. Probably the most imposing of these is that of Frank Denoya, just completed. It is splendidly finished and furnished through- out. It is provided with hot and cold water baths and all other appointments that are to be found in the better class of city homes. Servants are employed to do all of the housework, and an accomplished teacher is kept to instruct the female members of the family in music and other accomplishment of polite society. As fast the children complete the primary course of education they are sent to the best schools in the country to receive instruction in the higher branches. While Mr. Denoya fs still a comparatively young man, he has a family of twelve chil- dren, each of whom receives over $30 a month from the general government. In addition to this they receive rental for 1,200 acres of grass land. He has inclosed and under cultivation 160 acres of fine valley land for each member of his family, which earns a yearly rental of $3 per acre. His income from all sources amounts to more than $12,000 per annum. He has not a dollar of tax to pay and his children are educated without cost to him. While there is every inducement for the Osages to raise large families, the tribe {s steadily decreasing in numbers, and it will be, it is said, but a short time after they take their allotment in severalty and break up tribal relations before the race will be | extinet. They do not work, and those who have not improved their opportunity to pt the mode of living of their well-to-do white brothers are vagabonds. The trade of the Osages is much sought after by mer- chants of towns in the surrounding country. Before the opening of the Cherokee strip it all came to Arkansas City, which was the nearest trading point, but now no less than three towns have been started, whose only excuse for their existence is their nearness to the Osage reservation, od Transfers of Real Estate.

Shoes that are full long are far more comfortable, too, than those that are short and wide. Some dealers will probably tell you that you can't get stylish Shoes without paying a high price for them. This is only true so far as it applies to those dealers who are supplied by middlemen—they have to take what styles they find on hand. We are perhaps the only house in town that has EVERY pair of its Shoes made to its own special onder. We dictate to our manu= facturers on what shapes ito make our Shoes—and pay nothing extra for good | style, therefore even “Our Cheapest Shoes Are [ade On the Latest Styles.” We Sell: 1894 STYLES OF LADIES’ KID LACED SHOES AT $1.25, $1.60, $2.09 TO 1894 STYLES OF LADIES’ KID BUTTON BOOTS AT $1.00, $1.25, $1.50 UP TO $4.00. 1894 STYLES OF LADIES’ TAN LACED SHOES AT $1.50, $2.00 TO $8.00. 1894 STYLES OF LADIES’ BLACK OR TAN LOW SHOES AT Te., $1.00, $1.25 TO $3.00. 1894 STYLES OF MEN'S LOW AND HIGH CUT SHORS AT $1.25, $1.50 TO $5.00. 1894 STYLES OF BOYS’ AND GIRLS’ SHOES AT Te., $1.00 TO $2.50. 18% STYLES OF INFANTS’ BLACK AND COLORED SHOES AT 2We., 85c., We.
