SCHOOL ELECTION RESULTS. The Democratic Candidates Elected— A New $40,000 Building Voted— Suicide of a Fallen Girl— No Council Meeting. From Shame to Sufolde. Another of earth’s frail unfortunates, tired of the scenes of a cold and un- feeling world, in a moment of frenzy and despair yesterday, took a dose of deadly poigon, and by her own hand ended a life of shame. About noon a man appeared on the ctreets, and was anxiously inquiring for the coroner. Inquiry soon revealed the fact that one of the inmates of Belle Clover’s house of prostitution. at %00 Broadway, had committed sutcide by taking poison, and was then lying dead at the above named place. The coroner was absent at Crescent City, and in response to a tele- gram sent word that he would be home about 6 o’clock, A BEE reporter visited the sceno of the tragedy, and inter- viewed geveral of the inmates as well as the landlady concerning the shocking deed. The information elicited from the landlady enshrouded the affair in a mystery. She said that the ‘dead girl came to her house a week ago from Sioux City in company with another girl who was there in the house, and who had been there before on several occasions. The dew comer, whose name was Maud Clark, was a total stranger to her, but appeared very lighthearted during her stay, and wae in fact ‘‘the life of the houee.” S i was in even better spiri usual, the parlor with the about a quarter past 2. ired, Dbidding = the latter an. affectionate ood-night: No more was seen of her until.nearly 11 o'clock yesterday morning when, not appearing at the breakfast table, the cook was sent to call her, and the dis- covery was made that she was dead. The body was warm, and it was evident that death had but recently taken place. When the undertaker, accom- panied by the reporter, arrived on the scene, the body had been laid out for burial, but clasped in the right hand of the deceased was a brief note an- nouncing the fatal intention of the suicide. ‘The note was as follows: *“When you find this I will be dead. I will not tell you the cause. Maud.” The neck and arms were badly dis- colored, but the features of tho dead womian gave no indication of a painful death. The remains were that of a wo- man probably twent{-ol\e or twenty-two years of age, who in life must have been of very prepossessing appearance. The statements of the woman, Blanche Ham- ilton, who accompanied the deceased from Sioux City, threw more light on the subject than what was said by any of the others. She said that she had known the dead woman for nearly three months, having boarded at the same house with herin Sioux City for a month. She ‘did not know tha deceased was coming here until.a week ago last Saturday she met her on the train on her w to this city. At that time the deceascd told her that she was ‘‘coming here for girls, as she was keep- ing house” at Sioux City. After ar- riving here she stated that she thought she would stay herc permanently. The woman Blanche also said that the deceased had a ‘“friend” by the name of Will, at Sioux City who was much opposed to her coming away, and offered to pay her board in Sioux City while' she learned the dressmaker’s trade, but told her he would *‘quit her” if she ever went to a ‘‘house.” After coming here she tried to keep him in ignorance of her stopping place, and on Sunday evening went to the Northwest- erndepot to mail a letter to him, on the Sioux City train. It appeared to be the impression of those knowing anything about the case, that the Sioux City man had found out where hissweetheart was, and had written her a letter, breaking with her. At the time she came here she had several letters in her posses- sion, but they had all been destroyed, as none could be found among her effects. She had several fine dr 1] and some money. She has relatives at St. Joseph, but_her - parents are both su )ln»ms to be dead. No bottle or any- thing to indicate the nature of the pow- erful agent she had chosen to end her life could be found in the room. Inquiry at several drug stores in the vicinity failed to discover where she ob- tained the fatal drug. One druggist said that the landlady had ordered him not tosell any morphine to her girls, but to give quinine instead. Some time ago one of them came in, and ordered ixty grains of that deug. In obedience ructions, the clerk put up sixty grains of quinine. The woman went home and took the whole dose. Had it been morphine it would not have hurt her, as she was used to taking it in very large quantitics, but, being unused to the quinine, it made lots of trouble, and a doctor had to be called to relieve her. On recovering she firmly announced her intention of killing the next drug clerk who should give her quinine for mor- phine, and, as the “old lady” counter- manded her order as far as this particu- lar one was concerned, the morphine eateralways gets what she calls for now. The funeral of the friendless suicide will take place to-day, and all that was mortal of Maud Clark will be laid to rest in the grave. ‘When Coroner Waterman tho city in the evening he proceeded to empanel a jury and hold the inquest. Several witnesses were examined, but the jury asked to have a postgmortem examination made before rendering a verdict, ‘In searching among the effects of the deceased, a tin-type, taken by Johnson, 705 Fourth street, Sioux City, was found, and attached to it wasa piece of paper marked **Miss Gerty Davis, 210 Clark street, Sioux City.” This was the only writing found among the effects. One of the witnesses stated that the ased had told her that the name of her male friend in Sioux City was Will Ross, The remains were removed to the un- dertaking rooms of Field & Estep,where the post mortem examination will be made at 10 o'clock this morning by Drs. Macrae and Bellinger, The funeral will take place from the same rooms at 2 o’clock this afternoon. — The Major's Sentence. The trial of Brown, alias “Major Williams,” has created much interest here, where he ran such a sensational career and gained such notoriety in connection with the killing of Jack Hughes. There are few here but be- lieve that he killed Hughes, but the mysterious. disappearance of eye-wit- nesses enabled him to_escape. It ap- pears now thattardy justice has over- taken him. * Following onviction for another murder at Troy, N. Y., comes his sentence, which is for twelve his years, the jury having found him guilty of manelaughter. The closing scene on gentence day is thus giva&b a repoyter: In reply fl%ulionu the court after the oath had been administbred to him Brown stated that he was born in New York, would by forty-five years old August 4, 1888, and was by occupation a hotel ltegpxr The Court—Have you anythifig to say why sentence should not be pronounced upon yqut Brown—No, sir. C. E. Patterson, of counoil for the pris- oner, asked the court to be as lenient s pos- sible. Mr. Patterson said Brown had teld the same story on the stand that he had told Mr. Patterson at the beginning. ' believed that story,” he continued. ‘I believ 1 thought I could convince & jury t true, but I did not. I lieve Brown was convicted . of not he did in takin the life Patrick Kelley but for his bad character, fact has come to my knowledge since the trial that the defense did not know at the time of the trial. This man was born of re- gpectable parents and he grew up in Troy with nothing against him, till he enlisted in the army and served a term. He was honot- ably discharged, but in the army he acquired nomadic habits that led to his wanderings and to the character which led him into trouble.” Mr. Patterson referred to the course taken by the bullet and argued that it showed that Patrick Kelley was the assail- ant, and not Brown. ‘‘He has three children; the oldest a son nineteen years of age, and a widowed mother who will suffer more than he will suffer. 1 respectfully ask that the court be as lenient possible.”” District Attorney GriMith said: *‘As I said atthe opening of * this case, the prosecuting officer did not come here to ery out for ven- weance, We sought only to do our duty in this case, and a conviction has been secured. We hope the lesson will teach the eriminal classes in this community that the law will upheld, and crime will be punished, it atters not with whom criminals associated, nor who comes to their rescue after the crime has been committed. T believe this conviction shows that the sentiment of the community is in support of the district attorney’s effort 1o prosecute persons who commit crime. The district attorney has no desire _that this man be punished beyond a reasonable proportion 10 the enormity of thecrime he has com- mitted. I would it were in my power that every man who cemmits & crime might suffer alone. I pity that son. He is an_honest boy, and 1 feel for this man’s children and his widowed mother, but 1 stand here representing the law and order of the community, its peace and its future. The criminal classes must be given to under- stand that the district attorney means just t he said whan he went into office, that ne must be made odious and criminals ished. 1do not ask that this man be punished beyond what the law demands. 1 don’t ask that he be punished on his previous character. The police say he bas committed no serious violation of law in Troy. I believe he seées the error of his ways, and that his conviction will be a warning . to all in like cases offending.” The Court—"Brown, stand up. Tt is to be regretted that. the painful ‘doty is imposed upon the court of passing sentence upon o man of your appearance, of your intelligence, of your capacity, and a man situated in- life with a family as You are, But the painful duty imposed upon the court is trifing as compared with the punishment the sentence will inflict upon you and upon those iu ested in you personally. The erime of whi you stand convicted is the taking of the e of a human being, not -by premeditated - de- sign, but in a cruel and unlawful manner with a dangerous and deadly weapor ~ “The law protects society against such crimes as far as the law can.” " After further admon- ition the gnu'l, sentenced Brown to Clinton prison at Daunemora for twelve years at hard labor. Brown was taken back to jail. — The Bluff Bad Boys. The police reaped a vich harvest of drunks Sunday, and Judge Aylesworth assessed the fines yesterday morning in amanner highly pleasing to the specta- tors in police court, although quite the reverse to the impromptu taxpayers. John Leany was fined $7.60. Denuis Shea, who had paid a fine ‘on the pre- ceding morning and secured his re- lease, had ‘been arrested later in the day on the same charge. The court thought it was merelf{ the tail end of the same old drunk, and discharged him. D. E. Broderic was taxed "$7.60. Frank Rhodes and Pat Ryan were dis- charged. John Roderick was held for tha Jar- ceny of a valise from John Gallagher. The latter employed him to ry the valise to the train for him, and sent him abeard with it while he purchased g ticket. When he got on the tiain both vilise and valet had disappesred. He was apprehended later and arrested.

Advice to the Boy Terrors of the Red- skin, Detroit Free Préss: Come, my son, it is time you were getting ready for a spring campaign against the Indians and grizzlles. You have been reading “Daring Dan,” *‘Ike, the Tndian Slayer,”’ “‘Gus, the Grizzly Killer” and other ex- citing and truthful stories, intended to make a boy dissatisfied” with . humdrum life,and your. mind is madé up 1o go west. You must have’ an outfit. That can be got while waiting for spring to open. One reason why-so many boy . hunters make a failure isbecause they economize too much in the outfit. Don’t be stingy in buying guns. . It will be all the bet- if you'have a Spencer carbine and a double-barreled shotgun togo with your Winchester. Suppose you came sud- denly upon a band of eightetn - Apache warriors. You could only kill sixteen of them with your Winchester, and two would be left to ride off and alarm the tribe. By having some guns along you are sure of the whole crowd, and the tribe won’t get on to you. And don’t scrim on bowie knives. It would be an almost fatal mistake to start out with only two. Buy four, at least. They dre for use at _close. quarters with grizzlies. Of course one bowie is enough to kill one bear with, but you may. be attacked by four bears at once, and four knives would then be in demand. If you don’t get but three bowies make up the deficiency with a Spanisa stiletto or a Noorish dagger. It will comein handy not-only in a close fight, but to pick your teeth with at the camp fire. As for dress, get afringed buckskin,a coonskin cap and - regular moccasins. Such things as shirts, collars, cuffs and handkerchiefs would be‘only waste lug- gage. If you should appear in Miles City with a collar on it would give- you away at once. Nobody would suspect that you were the young terror trom the east who w -hing for a chance to tie a knot in a grizzly bear’s tail. You should take at least 200 pounds of ammunition. You may be corralled somewhere in the Rocky mountains by 400 fierce and determined Indians, and you don’t want to lose your scaly for the vant of a few extra cartridges.

Anybody on borseback can make up faces at grizzly and gallop off out of reach. One great mistake which the average boy makes is in planning to accomplish 100 much the first season. ~Most of them figure on wiping out about one thousand Indians and twice that number of bears. Keep your estimate. down to a reasona- ble n\gum You feel ambitious and en- thusiastic, of course, here is a limit to what a boy ¢an do. Set your figures at about four hundred Indians and three hundréd grizzles. This will he almost two per day the year around, and will keep you from spoiling. I should scalp cver{ Indian Ishot. It not only looks more business-like to do 80, but that’s what you’ve got a scalp- ing-kuife for, and if youcan get about two bundred scalp-locks you can make the nicest door-mat you ever saw.. It don’t hurt a dead Indian a bit to scalp him, and if you don't take it it will go. to waste. It would be well to- have a six- mule team follow you at a distance of a mile or 50 to pick upand care for the rifles, knives, bows and arrows and war clubs of the slain Indians, These can be run east by car-lots and sold at - auc- tion, and the profits will buy all your ammunition. Jon’t exterminate any particular tribe of red men, but kill off about one-fourth of seven or eight dif- ferent tribes. This will extend your réputation as a terror, As to the best of killing an In- dian I shall not pretend toadvise.
