McFarland, wife of a retired capitalist, committed suicide yesterday at her home at 612 Fourth street by drinking car- bolic acld. As to her motive the family claim to have no knowledge. She has been in poor health for about two years, and has sut- fered from a chronic melancholia. Last spring her husband embarked in an unlucky venture, which cost him a large sum of money. That worried her and she conceived the idea tmat they were on the road to penury. The relations between her and her husband, the latter states, have always been pleasant. Yesterday morning about 7 o'clock Mr. Me- 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 after the children. The door then shut, and a few minutes later McFarland started to go around the house to 8o up town. But the last remark of his wife kept running through his mind, and he de- cided to go back to see what she meant. When he reached the bedroom he found her in convulsions. The odor of carbolic acld was very perceptible, and 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 found containing acid. Fivo minutes after she took the poison she was unconscious, Several physicians worked with her all morning. Occasionally they would think she might regain consclousness, but at last, at 2:30 in the afternoon, she died. The coronér was summoned, but decided it was a clear case of suicide, and declined to hold an_inquest. Mrs. McFarland's maiden name was Emma A. Denning, and her parents<live at Casey. They were notified by. telegram. She formerly lived in Adair, but moved here about three years ago. She also had a sister in Persia, Mrs. C. M. McFarland, who was telegraphed, nd arrived on the evening train. The de- ceased had two children, Mildred, aged 10, and Chariie, aged 8. She bade them good- bye in an affectionate manner before drinking the fatal draught. The time for holding the funeral has not yet been fixed, but will be today, when all the relatives have arrived.

CANDIDATES IN FLO sting of the Ninth District R liean Lengue Yesterdny. meeting of the Ninth District Repub- league held in this city yesterday brought out republicans of southwestern and western Iowa in Every man whose political needed grinding was there, as well as a good many whose axes were things of the past or only dimly pros- pective, but they were all 1here with an end in view, and that end was the end of dem- ocratie rule in western Towa. Among those who were present were: Con- gressman A. L. Hager of Greenfleld, Chair- man H. G. McMillen of the state republican committee of Rock Rapids, Secretary I. M Treynor of the state committee of Council Blufts, J. C. Milliman of Harrison county. candidate for the legislature; John Parker of Silver Clty, candidate for the legislature from Mills county; Colonel A. J. Chantry of Mal- vern, state senator from Mils county; W. B Martin of Greenfleld, candidate from Adair county; Thomas Arthur of Logan, chairman of the Harrison county central committee; Sherman Meyers of the Anita Tribune, David Scott of the Griswold American, Major H. G. Curtis of Atlantle, now candidate for con- ess; J. A, Travar of Dunlap, County At- torney H. M. Boorman of Atlantic, nlso with his windows open toward Washington; D. B Miller of Red Oak, County Superintendent O R. Patrick of Glenwood, Julian Phelps of At- lantie, senator from Cass county; L. C. Lewls, chairman of the Shelby county central com- mittee; H. W. Byers of Shelby county, can- didate for the legislature; A. H. Sniff of Mis- souri Valley, G. W. Putnam and L. F. Potter, candidates for the legislature from Pottawat- tamle county, and T. C. Dawson, chairman of the Pottawattamie county central com- mittee, The league system now In use fs the most perfect ever used. All the officers of the local leagues are members of the executive committee of the county league, the officers of these are members of the executive com- mittee of the district league, the district league officers are members of the state league, and it s expected that the same sys- tem will be adopted in national league affairs next year. A chain Is thus formed which binds the republicans of all the different lo- calities into one organization. The meeting was held in the farmers’ hall of the county court house, H. W. Byers of Harlan presiding. F. R. Conaway of Des Motnes, president of the state league, opened the meeting by explaining the purpose of the league, which was, not to further the interests of any particular candidate for nom- ination, but to promote in every legitimate way the success of the republican party, its principles and candidates. The election of officers for the ensuing year resulted as fol- lows: H. W. Byers of Harlan, president; T C. Dawson of Council Bluffs, secretary; 0. R. Patrick of Glenwood, treasurer; vice presi- dents, Audubon county, J. A. Nash of Au- dubon; Cass county, L. F. Mullen of Atlan- tie; Adair county, W. B. Martin of Green- fleld; Shelby county, C. R. Benedict of Shelby; Milis county, M. H. Byers of Glen- wood; Harrison county, M. A. Reed of Wood- bine; Montgomery county, R. E. Cook of Red Oak; Guthrie county, W. B. Moulton of Stu- art; Pottawattamle county, A. L. Preston of Avoca, and Freeman L. Reed of Council Bluffs, The deliberations were mostly of a private nature, and were for the purpose of planning the campaign. Chairman McMillin and Secretary 1. M. Treynor, of the state ntral ~ committee, ~ also met the retarfes of the various county committees for consultation. All the meet- ings were harmonious and enthusiastic. In the afternoon the visitors stayed around the Grand hotel principally, talking politics, and most of taoem left for their homes on the afternoon trains, This was the ninth meeting of the kind held during the past two weeks, the following being the places of the other meetings: Eleventh district, Sioux City; Second, Daven- fort Dodge; Fifth, Marshall- v Hampton; Ei | th, Creston Sixth, Oskaloosa; First, Mount Pleasant; Ninth, Council Blufts. 'Next Tuesday the Third district league will meet at Waterloo, and on Wednesday the Seventh at Des Moines, which will wind up the district meetings. “In goirg thrcugh the sta'e,” said 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- feat of the Harlan man is rapidly being cleared away. Chairman McMillin of the state central committea is anxious to have it understood that the league is not in the least to be con- sidered as a rival of the central committes. “It Is merely a sort of a dress parade dffair,” said he, “which keeps the boys to- gether, and gets them out on the occasion of any big demonstration. But the real work of the campalgn is done by the state com- mittee, and the league co-operates with it." KS. The ifean th droves, axe town: Fcur b, SCORED THE WITNESSES. Genung Makes Pyrote fe Reéemarks, W ch the C t Called Down. David Jarred of Hastings was on trial in federal court almost all day yesterday. His defense lay mostly in the line of an ar- raignment of the witnesses by whom he had been convicted. His attorney, L. T. Genung, tried to show by evidence that the witnesses had induced Jarred to fracture the law in a technical way, for the express purpose of securing from the government the fees which would naturally be theirs. In making his address to the jury e accused the witnesses of all manner of dishonest practices, and charged them with swearing to an excessive amount of mileage and number of days' serv- ice. ““You know it, gentlemen of the jury, as well as I do,” he went on, “and the marshal knows it, and the district attorney knows it, and the court knows it.” But he got no fur- ther, for the court consldered this somewhat strong, and called him down. The case was submitted to the jury at 4 o'clock in the afternoon. After wrestling with the evidence for six hours a verdict of gullty was returned. Judge Woolson rendered a decision in the case of Julla Officer against the Empkie Hardware company and others, in which the plaintiff’s motion to remand fo the district court of Pottawattamie county occasioned a hot fight a week ago. The decision was in favor of the plaintiff, so that the case will now have to be tried in the state court. The grand jury made its final report and discharged. Twenty-nine indictments o returned, of which twenty were agalnst common bootleggers. Of the rest, two were against Richard B. Hall, one charging him with falsifying his accounts and the other with opening other people’s mail. Minnfe Ammons and Mary Finley, two rather good looking girls from Adams county, were indicted for sending an obscene letter through the mails to Blla Ross of Creston, and when_ arraigned in court entered a plea of guilty, amid a few tears, Judge Wool- son ‘agreed to look over the letter and will probably pronounce sentence today. Frand Vardeman, who threatened to kill W. J. Martin, a member of the grand jury, a few days ago, was indicted for obstructing the administration of justice. A similar of- fense was charged up against Fred R. Ruchte, who sent an obscene letter to Lizzie Borcherdt of Charter Oak F. G. Fulton, who impersonated an officer and tried to bieed another man by sending him a letter threatening to prosecute him for bootlegging unless he received $50 by return mail, was Indicted on two counts, and William E. Ballard was {hdicted for similar offenses, Out of fifty-three cases submitted to the grand jury, only three were ignored, one of those being against a man who sold a bev- erage called “Copp's Ceer,” which the courts decided to be without the meaning of the statute, and the other two ordinary boot- leggers, William Hansen, who got a lot of bogus dollars and pass:d'them at the Red Oak fair, came up for sentence. He had expected to get some peopl: to swear to his good charac- ter, but they refused to do so and the cou refused to walt any longer. He was sen- tenced to pay a fine of $500 @hd spend four years at hard labor in the Fort Madison pent- tentiary. Charles Schwatka pleaded guilty to the charge of bootlegging and a fine of $150 and a Jail sentence of seventy-five days were im- posed, On account of his having behaved himself, however, for the past two years ths fine and sentence were allowed to hang Willlam Harris also convicted of b legging, was fined $200 and sent to jall lays, but the fine and were sugpended sentence POTTER'S PRICES Than Anywhe bottom teakettle tin pail 10c; ; 2 quart coffee The Great 10¢ Bird cages §0c; copper 250; 10-quart flaring heav copper bottom washboiler pot 10¢; rolling pins 6¢ each.

She was formerly the wife of 4 man named Harper, who was suspected of being the murderer of his brother In the sensational Kansas murder case a few years ago.
