E. Bainbridge Shoots Himself While in Paris Promising Diplomat, Long a Resident of Council Bluffs, Grows De- spondent Over Prospects, PARIS, April 18~Willam E. Balnbridg a special agent of the United States treas- ury department who has been attached to urday by shooting. It is believed that Mr. Bainbridge was temporarily insane. Willlam E. Bainbridge, who was from lowa, was second secretary of the Ameri- can Legation at Peking eight years ago. He resigned from the diplomatic service in 198, In March of 1%6 he declined the Amerfcan consulship at Amay, China, and was afterward appointed to be special cus- toms agent of the United States at Paris Bainbridge’s position as chiet of the Paris bureau, to which he was appointed two years ago, Involved difficult and exacting duties, and gradually he broke down from worry and overwork, coupled with insom- nia. Recently he suffered from hallucina- tions, being under the impression that enemies were trying to ruin him. During the last week he scarcely slept at all. Yes- terday Mr. Bainbridge purchased a revolver and after walking the floor almost the entire night, decided to xill himselt. He fired' the bullet that ended his lite shortly after he had partaken of breakfast at his home. Mrs. Bainbridge will accompany the body on board the steamer Philadélphia, which sails on April 24. The burial will be at Councll Blufts. The announcement of the death by his own hand of Willlam/ E. Bainbridge in Paris came as a great shock to the large number of his friends In Council Bluffs With the motive of the deed apparently lacking, his most Intimate friends here declined to express any opinion until further details of the tragedy could be had. Mr. Baindridge had made Council Bluffs his home s.nce 1891, After graduating from the law department of the University of Wisconsin he moved to Omaha with a biother of Major George H. Richmond. chief of police of this city. -After practicing law A vear or so in Omaha he came to Councll Bluffs and had a desk In the office of the legal firm of Sims & Saunders. Mr. Saunders retired from the firm in 1892 and shortly after Mr. Bainbridge formed a partnership with Jacob Sims under the tirm name of Sims & Bambridge. He later married Mrs. McCargar, alster of Mr. Sims. As second secretary of the legation at Peking during the Boxer uprising and aft- erwards as the American member of the | board of arbitration commissioners for the settlement of the Venezuelan claims, Bainbridge made an enviable record. Mr. Balnbridge visited Council Bluffs last November and left for Washington enroute to his post in Paris on the evening of the general election after casting his vote. Some of his filends said vesterday when the news of his death was received he seemed considerably despondent at the time of his prospects in the government service. Mr. MEET TO TALK OVER BRIDGE A general Invitation has been extended ‘o the members of the Council Bluffs Com- mercial club to meet with the Commercial club of Omaha Tuesday at luncheon and discuss the proposition of a free bridge between the two cities over the Missouri. A number of prominent buainess and pro- tessional men of Council Bluffs have also received specfal invitations. Chairman Doolittle of the executive com- mittee of the Commercial club received word yesterday that the chief engineer for the Illinois Central rallway would come to Council Bluffs either Tuesday or Wednesday of this week to look into the matter of the road at “The Narrows," which the Commercial club and the county supervisors desite the railroad to construct.

DES MOINES, April 18—(Special.)—~The supreme court has just issued the order for the return from the penitentiary to Council Bluffs of Marion Hedgpeth to stand trial again for breaking and entering a store about & year ago. The court recently reversed the decision of the lower court and held in substance that the lower court should have taken the case from the jury and directed a verdict of acquittal. The | dectsion goes direct to the character of the testimony and it is decided that the testi- mony did not conclusively connect Hedg- peth with the crime. But he is to go back 10 Council Bluffs for trial, and unless there has been secured some additional evidence he will probably be acquitted. The fact that Hedgpeth was known to have spent many years in prison and to have been connected more or less directly with sev- eral bands of bandits is regarded as having had much to do with his conviction, The State Board of Parole has returned from a week of hearings at the Fort Mad- tson prison. While therc they saw John Junkin, colored, who is being held to await trial for a murder in Ottumwa. Junkin shook with fear when he saw strange per- sons at the prison and seemd to dread be- ing taken away. He intends putting up a defense of innocence despite his confession and has secured an attorney to fight the case. It Is expected that he will be taken to Ottumwa in about two weeks to be ar- raigned. Narrow Escape for Capitol. It transpires that during the winter the state capitol had a narrow escape \rom a serfous fire and that knowledge of this fact made known to the members of the general assembly Induced them: to make an appro- priation for a time recording device to keep tab on the watchmen of the capitol. The tire broke out in a small storage room :n the basement, which room is seldom ever visited by the watchmen, but by chance an officiul who has his desk in an adjoining room came into the room at an unusual hour and smelled the burning material. In this way a fire was prevented. When th's fact became known to the legislators thoy made an appropriation of 320 to secure more perfect patrolling of the state house. But the persons who have been on watch are defiant and declare that it s an out- rage. The custodian of the capitol will install the device. Weed Law Not Signed. Governor Carroll went to southern lowa today to attend the funeral of his brother, leaving about a dozen of the bills passed by the legislature unsigned. Among these is the bill to require the destruction of weeds. He will probably sign it, but desires to lcok into it to some extent and to find out if it ie a good law. The bill contemplates the most drastic methods to make sure that weeds are destroyed on farms and along the highways: NEW ISSUE OF SAINTS' BOOK Conference at Lamoni Teachers' Edition of Cl Version of Scriptures. ! LAMONI, Ia., April 18.—(Special.)—Sat- urday’'s session of the Reorganized Church of Latter Day Saints was charac- terized by the great amount of business accomplished. A time limit was placed | for new business and the delegates are evidently getting anxlous to return to their fields of labor. The most important was the authorization of the Board of Publication to issue a “Teachers' Fdition of the Inspired Translation of the Holy Scriptures.’ According to the belief of the Saints and to the testimony of wit-| nesses, to Joseph Smith, the prophet, were given numerous divine corrections to the Bible, both Old and New Testa- | ments, wherein the King James version had not been correctly translated and | handed down through the centuries. ! These changes seem, almost without ex- ception, to be much better and by far| more reasonable than the old text. The Reorganized church is in possession of | the original manuscript of this book, as | well as that of the “Book of Mormon,” and this manuscript will be used iIn getting | out the new edition of the inspired | translation. The Utah church of Latter Day Saints do not use this version, as they were not successful in getting pos- session of the manuscript as prepared and left by Joseph Smith, the martyr. F, W. Newcomb, who is not a member of the church, was elected trustee of Graceland college to succeed himself and | R. J. Lambert was chosen trustee to succeed R. M. Elvin. This is a church institution located at Lamoni. A. Carmichael was chosen to succeed himself on the Board of Auditors. An oratorical contest was held evening by students of Graceland lege.

Whether the child was abandoned or dropped by accident is not known, but the former theory is believed to be the correct solution of the mystery Mrs. Emil Myers, a woman of this city, saw the child dropped from the train. She s she was watching the train pull through town and as It passed over the Lynn street crossing she saw an old man with white hair and beard step on the bottom step of the first coach, and, stooping as low as he could, hie dropped to the ground a package, the size and shape of which attracted Mrs. Myers' attention.
