walk, she pounded loudly on the floor
and then fell fainting.
The barbers at work in Eugene

Members of the Congregational Church fo' Meet
Notice of the annual meeting of the
Congregational church has been given
out for Tuesday, Dec. 31st, at which
time the work of the year will be re
vied and the condition of the church
examined into. Fro what can be
gathered in advance the reports of
the different societies will show a
fairly prosperous condition. Th
parsonag has been fairly paid for
and the debt on the church building
has been greatly reduced besides that
there has been a large line of substan
tial improvements all paid for, and
an increase in the membership of the
church.~ 1
It is expected at the annual meeting
that Rev. D. O. Bean will tender his
resignation and will ask to be re
tained until he has been able to se
cure a pulpit in some other place.
W at action the church will take in
the matter is not known, as it is gen
erally supposed that Mr. Bean had
accepted a call at Campbell and was
preparing to enter that field. Hi
work here has not met with the recep
tion he had anticipated and he feels
he can do better work elsewhere.
There are a number of applicants for
the place to be vacated and some
these will be considered.

Hang
in in S
E by is as
I Did N
Was Forlorn Figure, "Batching*
in South End of City.
Hangin with his neck in the noose
of a rope, his body frozen stiff, the
remains of Michial Fuchs, aged 62
years, were found Monday noon by
Sheriff W Julius and Chief of
Police Adolf Klause in a little shed
back of the house on German street
between Twelfth and Thirteenth streets
where he lived a lonely life all by
himself. Life had been extinct for a
long time, just how long it was no.t
possible to tell.
N motive for the suicide is known
unless it is that the old man grew de
spondent because money he was ex
pecting failed to arrive and resolved
to end his life. Hi son is dead, but
he had lent him between $150 and
$160 and this was still owing to him.
His daughter-in-law, Mrs. Joh Wild,
lives on a farm near Eva and he had
placed his claim against her in the
hands of an attorney for collection,!!
CHRISTMAS MONEY DID NOT COME.
This money, it is, said, he was ex
pecting about Christmas time, but the
money was not paid and it is known
that he grieved and worried over this.
No letter or note was left to throw any
light upon his feelings before the
tragedy.
Fuchs may have been hanging
dead for a week and it may have been
only over night and part of Monday.
One of the Heese boys, a neighbor,
passed the house Sunday night and
says he is sure he saw a light on the
inside. If that is the case Fuchs
probably killed himself Christmas
night.
The old man had not been noticed
since a week ago when he was seen by
a neighbor, Mrs Willia Bartl
Friday a neighbor, Andrew Hilberger,
was at the postoffice and asked for the
old man's mail. There was a letter
from the superintendent of the asylum
for the insane at St. Peter, where his
wife is confined, and with this he went
to Fuchs home but finding the place
empty and everything deserted, went
away.
:.™
FRIGHTENED AT HIS ABSENCE. *:'v
It has been the old man's custom to
take his Christmas dinner with his
cousin, Mrs. Fran Hogan, and Sun
day she went down to the place to tell
him that he was expected this year as
usual. The house was empty and the
place looked deserted, but she tried
the door and found it unlocked. Go
ing in she looked around in the kitchen
and into the next room, and then a
feeling of terror came over her and
she ran for the nearest neighbor, /An
drew Hilberger.
Something was wrong, she said she
felt sure, and she wanted someone to
come with her and search the premises.
The two went back together and look
ed all over the rooms, in the bed,
everywhere, but no trace of the miss
ing man could be found.
Not until the next day, Monday fore
noon, did they report to the police.
Then Chief Klause and Sheriff Julius
immediately hired, a rig and drove out
to the residence:=SAfter searching the
house they went around to the little
shed in the rear, a small structure
perhaps four feet square, where a
supply of wood and kindling was kept,
and finding the door fastened wrenched
it loose.
GRIMACE FROZEN ON FACE.
There Fuchs hung, dangling from a
rope fastened to a beam laid across
the shed about six feet from the ground.
He was kneeling and the horrible
death grimace of a choking man was
frozen on the face turned toward the
officers. -.-". -, 3K','.'
Not wishing to touch the body until
it had been viewed by the coroner, the
two men retraced their steps and the
chief of police waited at the house
while the sheriff drove in after the
coroner. Coroner A. F-ritsche de
cided at once that no inquest was
necessary and cut the rope and bearing
the lifeless body into the house, sent
word to the undertaker.^-'
from the neck, the suicide's head being!
bent forward on his breast and frozen
there, holding the rope in a grip that
was only relaxed when the frost was
thawed out. overcome this difficulty
it was necessary to cut the noose on
both sides.
LJVED LONELY LIFE.
The suicide lived alone, but he
owned the place on\,German street and
had it comfortably furnished with a
feather bed, two stoves, ta table, chairs
and other things to be '.found in a
bachelor's quarters. *&&d plenty
of food in the house and a
la was found in his pocket. &'1^t!

Fuchs was a Bohemian and was
born in the old country in 1843. Be
tween eleven and twelve years ago he
came to this country and settled in
New Ulm where he has since resided.
He owned the property on German
street between twelfth and thirteenth
streets where he lived and a deed to
the place was found by Chief of Police
Klause with other papers in the house
and turned over to
Coroner Fritsche.

Xiondon's Firs City Directory.
The first directory dates from 1595,
Queen Elizabeth's reign. A copy of it
Is in the British museum, entitled "The
Names of All Such Gentlemen of Ac
compts as Were Residing Within the
City of London."
The next does not seem to have ap
peared for nearly a hundred years. It
was called "A Collection of the Names
of Merchants Living In and About the
City of London." This was printed for
Lee, Lombard street, in 1C77. Th
names were arranged alphabetically,
1,790 in number. In a separate list
were the names of no fewer than forty
four bankers under the heading "Gold
smiths Wh Keep Running Cashes,"
twenty-three of them being then in
Lombard street. This book contains
the name of the father of Pope, the
poet.
The first directory, expressly so call
ed, was compiled by Brown in 1732,
who soon issued it annually and real
ized through it a large fortune. Th
earliest postoffice directory appeared
in 1800 and successive volumes have
been brought out yearly ever since

Story of Ganymede's Birth.
A college professor while giving an
examination in mythology in a country
school called upon a bright looking girl
and asked the following question:
"Who was Ganymede?"
Promptly came the answer, "Gany
mede was the son of Olympus and an
eagle."
The class teacher blushed for her
pupil and exclaimed: "Why, Elizabeth!
Where did you learn that?"
"Indeed it says so in the book," re
plied the girl.
The professor then asked the girl to
find the place and read the paragraph
aloud, whereupon the class was both
astonished and delighted to learn that
Ganymede was borne to Olympus by
an eagle—Lippincott's.
in^Ho Hurry For tlie Doctor.
"Almost always when my patients
send for me," said the physician, "they
instruct the messenger to tell me to
come at once. I fact, this custom of
trying to hurry the doctor to the bed
side of the patient is general, and all
physicians expect it, and it is such an
old story to office attendants that they
do not as a rule bother to remember
it. Bu the other night I had a sur
prise. ...
"It was about 7 o'clock, and a gentle
man had called an hour before to re
quest me to see his wife. What was
remarkable was the fact that he bad
told my office boy to inform me not
to call until the next morning if I did
not find it convenient to visit his wife
that night before 9 o'clock, which he
said was the usual hour at which they
retired.
'Tell the doctor,' he said, 'it is noth
ing very important. My wife has only
something the matter with her mouth
that prevents her from talking. I will
be all right if he cannot find time to
call before the morning.' "—New York
Press.
Whe tiie Life Saver's W Begins.
After the last summer visitor has
gone and the little craft that sail over
the shallow bay have been hauled up
high and dry, the pavilions deserted
and the bathing houses boarded up, the
beaches take on a new aspect. The sun
shines with a cold gleam, and the surf
has an angry snarl to it as it surges up
the sandy slopes and then recedes,
dragging the pebbles after it with a
rattling sound. The outer line of sand
bars that in the summer breaks the
blue sea into sunny ripples and flash
ing whiteeaps then churns the water
into fury and grips with a mighty hold
the keel of any vessel that is unlucky
enough to be driven on them. When
the keen winter winds whip through
the beach grasses' on the dunes and
