DIES AT BREAKFAST TABLE After Drinking Half Cup of Coffee Relatives Want an Inquiry. On representations from relatives that they do tot believe that Joseph Johnson, of Reynolds, came to his death by natural causes, the body Is to be exhumed next week by Coroner L. V. Eckhart and the contents of the stomach analyzed. Johnson, who was advanced in years, lived with his wife and an adopted daughter In the village. In former years he had farmed. His passing was sudden. It occurred six weeks ago. While seated at the breakfast table, af ter drinking half of the contents of his co.Tee cup, he was siezed with violent convulsions. Dr. Moore was called, and arrived within a short space of time, but Mr. Johnson was beyond the power of human aid. and died 20 min utes after the doctor reached his side. Old Strychnine Kill llinif The impression is that Johnson died, from strychnine poisoning, but wheth er taken with suicidal intent, by mis take, or placed in the coffee by some one having designs on Johnson's life relatives are not prepared to say. First they want to ascertain, if possible, whether Johnson's death reaily was lue to poisoning. The embalming fluid may make It impossible to discover the presence of strychnine, if it had been taken In the stomach. Dr. Moore does not hesitate in saying that it is his belief that Mr. Johnson was poisoned, and probably would have called in the coroner at the time of the death but for the fact that he was afraid that he might be the cause of doing a drong to some living person that would ruin him in the community. DauKhtrr tin An Errand. When Johnson was taken wit h the first convulsion he was alone in the house with his wife, the daughter hav ing been sent to the depot on an er rand. These facts were learned on an inquiry that Coroner Eckhart conduct ed this week at Reynolds. The body Is buried in the village cemetery. The case was reported to State's At torney H. A. Weld Wednesday of this week by the relatives of the dead man Mr. -Weld called in Coroner- Eckhart, and the latter investigated wifh the result that the state's attorney and himself feel that whatever of mys tery or suspicion there Is in the case should be cleared. If possible. The population of Reynolds and vicinity is wrought to fever'heat, and there are heard some ugly charges. Widow LravrM the Villa-. Th widow has left Reynolds. H0 whereabouts are not known definitely, but the understanding is that she re cently went to Nebraska. The prop erty that Johnson owned in the village has been incumbered with mortgage to its full valuation, and it is said that Mrs. Johnson secured several thousand dollars on her personal note befere leaving Reynolds.

Head, general manager of the Rock Island Plow company, is a repub lican, and one of those of his party who never thought the democrats would have a look in at the election of this week, but he is not as accurate at guessing as are some of his friends. and he will pay the penalty by giving a dinner to a number of the members of the Rock Island Club. It was a wag er between Mr. Head and G. A. Price as to Roosevelt's plurality in New York state. Both were agreed that the re publican candidate would carry the state, but they were far apart in the size of their pluralities, and the only way in which they could settle their difference was for each to set a figure, the one missing the farthest to pay for a dinner for a party of club members at the club. Mr.. Price guessed 00,000 and Mr. Head 20.000. HARRISON WILL NOT RUN Mayor of Chicago Announces He Will Not Ask Reelection. Chicago, Nov. 12. Carter H.
