Election returns will be received at the Journal offlce tomorrow night from the Associated Press and the people of Freeport are invited to come to the offlce and hear the results.

Iler, two oi the trained nurses who have been caring for hqr since her arrival at the sanatoriuni Oct. 6.

The deed was evidently performed between 5 and 6 o'clock this morning, as she was discovered at the latter hour, Miss Her having been in her rooms two hours before to attend to her wants. That she was possessed of unusual cunning is gleaned from the fact that when she came to the Sanatorium everything with which she could do bodily harm to herself was taken from her, and the mystery that remains is how she came into possession of the short leather shawl strap with which she committed the act. From the position in she was found it Is deduced that she succeeded in forming the strap into a noose, although she must of necessity experienced extreme difficulty in tying the knot, as she sustained a compound fracture of her right 'arm some time ago which rendered the: member utterly useless. After accomplishing this initial step in carrying out. her design she placed it around her neck at a sharp angle, and pulling a into the closet adjoining her room in order that she might reach one of the clothes hooks, she mounted the chair and fastened the top end on This she' then pushed: the chair aside strangled he rse)f to A Correction.

In our advertisement of Friday and Saturday a slight error occurred in quoting the price of hard coal. We wish to state that the price of hard coal is $9.50 per ton with a 250 discount if paid for by the 15th of the month following delivery. Unless present indications undergo a sudden change, there will be great difficulty in procuring anthracite coal in Fret-port during the latter half of the winter. We earnestly advise all our customers, and the public in general, to lay in ROW as much coal as they can provide storage for. The H.

It is expected that the committee on fire will recommend a number of improvements to the equipment of the department, also to increase the number of firemen, the recent conflagrations having shown the wisdom of such a course. A report is expected from the committee on streets, alleys and bridges, regarding the opening of a street in East Freeport, and the same committee will doubtless re- the hook for some time, aa when the last spark of life' left her body the hook was torn from the wall and the body toppled over on the floor. The noise that resulted from the fall of the body aroused Miss Wheeler and Miss Her they hastened to her The spectacle that met their eyes told the story that she had succeeded in cunningly secreting the strap, one of the very things that they had exercised so much cau- 'tion in removing to a place inaccessible to their patient. Miss Wheeler stated that when Mrs. Wike came to the sanatorium even the straps around her valise were removed, as they had been acquainted with the fact that she made a previous attempt to take her own- life.

The physicians and the nurses at the sanatorium knew that Mrs. Wike was mentally unsound and for this reason exercised exceeding caution to preclude the possibility of a second attempt at suicide. Mrs. Wike had been worrying considerably for the past year about money matters which finally developed into the proportions of a hobby. Some time ago she sold her residence property in Rockford where she formerly lived, and afterward felt that she had not received the full value for it.

This matter preyed on her mind, although she was a lady of considerable means. After coming to the sanatorium her hallucinations took a form and she imagined that her daughter, Mrs Jennie Breneman, of Davis, and her husband were striving to obtain possession of her money. She also thought they were starving their chil- YOUNG QIRL DEAD. Mary Elizabeth Died Sunday Will Be Held on Wednesday Morning. Miss Mary Elizabeth Burns, daughter of Mr.
