Shaw.

At tins convention the Akron Suffrage Club is to be represented by Miss Hattie PhilWps and E. W. Claypole, who will leave for Massillon on" an early morning train" to-morrow. It is felt that their report of the work accomplished in the five week's existence of tho club will be considered encouraging. It has been stated by General A.

C. Voris that Akron should, at least, add 1 ,000 signatures to the Ohio enrollment. The active canvass of the past few weeks has secured between six and seven hundred of this thousand. Canvassing for the enrollment is not the only work that should be undertaken by a woman suffrage club and after the convention it is hoped that Akron sultragists will largely extend their field of usefulness. It is not enough that women should state their sense of the justice of their enfranchisement.

It is their duty to inform themselves concerning all questions that touch on their status in society, or their industrial interests, on the privileges, and responsibilities that they now enjoy and on those which they hope to obtain in the future. They must also look into the outside worJd and learn what is being done in other cities of Ohio; and beyond the limits of Ohio into other Ftates of tho Union. They must learn that in 14 States women -are already voting on questions connected with public schools. These States are New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, New York, Michigan, Minnesota, Nebraska, Kansas, Colorado, Kentucky, Wisconsin, Oregon, Indiana and New Jersey. "It is evident," said Mrs.

Mary Liver-more, "that the experiment of full woman suffrage will be made at no very remote day, not only in America, but among all civilized peoples. Women are throbbing with the same general unrest against a government to which they have never consented a3 men have manifested in their long struggle for liberty against king, emperors, popes and czars.

STRepalring a i '4 11 4 1 1 '4 i :1 COLLINS BUGGY CO. SAD END OF A PROMINENT GER-MAN I I TROUBLE ABOUT BUSINESS II SUPPOSED CAUSE. Herman Bidder, a well-known German citizen, living at 593 West Market street, met with a terrible death by his own hand yesterday afternoon.

While alone in his house he took an incredible dose of strychnine and after suffering horrible agonies died about quarter before 7 o'clock, just after medical aid had arrived. His wife was away from home at a neighbor's when the poison was taken and for some time after her return was unsuspicious of her husband's awf ul intent. All attendant circumstances go to show that when the deed was contemplated and carried into execution Ridder was not in his right mind. Mrs. Ridder left the house yesterday afternoon after dinner to visit a neighbor, arid left her husband at home.

He told her that he would leave the key to the front door under the door mat if he went away before her return. She came home at half-past four, found the key under the mat and entered the house. To her surprise she found her husband there lying down and apparently very ill. Mrs. Ridder was very much alarmed and wished to send for a physician, but her husband would not consent and insisted that he' would soon be all right.

He steadily grew worse and then gave his wife some crystals to mix for him, telling her that it was medicine the doctor had given him. Mrs. Ridder mixed the substance with coffee and gave it to her husband to take. The preparation was stry hnine, one of the most deadly 'and certain poisons. Mr.

Ridder had been suffering the most intense pain and was thrown into terrible convulsions. Mrs. Ridder ran to her nearest neighbor's in great alarm and Dr. II. M.

Fisher, Mr. Ridder's hysician, was summoned by telephone, verything possible was aone for the suffering man by his wife and neighbors while awaiting the doctor's arrival, but their efforts had no elfect toward lessening his pain. When Dr. Fisher arrived Ridder was able to talk and asked that every one but the doctor leave tho room. When the others went out he gasped to the doctor that he had taken his life by means of strychnine, as he wanted to leave the world.

Before he could say more another fearful convulsion had seized him and in a few minutes he was dead. Everything that could be done in so bad a case was done by friends, and it soon became evident that Ridder was not himself when he planned the dreadful deed. Dr. Fisher told a Beacon reporter that the dead man had been suffering for some time past from attacks of depression when he imagined that everyone was conspiring to injure him. Ilis nerves have been entirely unstrung for two or three weeks past and the wholo out-look has seemed gloomy to him.

His financial affairs have been involved and constant brooding over his troubles has unsettled his mind. Some of his old friends say that he has pa sed them on the street of late without seeming to recognize them until his attention was called. Mrs. Ridder's sifter, who lives in South Akron, was at the house two days ago and remarking that Mr. Ridder seemed ill, invited mm to go to her house the next dav.

He replied: "I may not be alive to-morrow." Three months ago while riding on a street car with an acquaintance, he exhibited a vial of laudanum and said that unless he could settle his business affairs soon he would kill himself. For two weeks past he has been taking laudanum to quiet his nerves. Yesterday morning he went into the drug store of Davis Blocker on North Howard street, and purchased an ounce of laudanum and 10 grains of strychnine of Mr. Davis, explaining that he wanted the strychnine to kill a dog. Mr.

Davis says that Mr. Ridder appeared perfectly natural in his manner at that time. Dr. Fisher found crystals of strychnine in the cup from which Ridder took the dose this morning, which indisputably confirms the means of his death. Mr.

Ridder is an old citizen Akron and had many friends deeply attached to him. He came to this country from Germany, where he belonged to an excellent family, just before the war. He served during the war in the 29th regiment of Ohio Volunteer Infantry. For a number of years he was in the grocery business on South Howard street, and has been agent for some time past for the Jones Wholesale Grocery Co. He was a member of the G.

A. of the Leidertafel and other societies. He bad no relatives in America except a cousin in Quincey, III. He was 52 years old in April. Mrs.

Ridder is greatly prostrated by the terrible shock. The funeral "will take place from St. Bernard's Church Thursday morning at 9 o'clock. A other Man Takes Strychnine. Charles Yost, a hostler at Edward Viall's livery stable, committed suicide this afternoon at 2:30 by taking strychnine.

Mr. wagoner asked tar counsel lrom the Solicitor ai to whether or not such an appointment would be legal. Solici tor Anderson stated that such an omcer would be in effect a police court prose cutor and that the provision for his confirmation by the Council and appointment by the Mayor would conflict with statutes, which provide that a city of the third grade of the second class is entitled to a police prosecutor but he must be elected by the electors ot the corporation.

The Mavor held that the ordinance if passed would be valid and gave as his chief reason for asking for its passage that in many cases brought before him when the defendants are represented by an attorney he (the mayor) is obliged to act as prosecutor and" judge.

141 Massiixon's Greatest Mine in Flames. A Massillon special of Monday says Fire has control of the Minglewood mine at North Lawrence, seven miles west of this city. The regular daily rule of the mines before quitting work is to fire shots with powder cartridges which brings down the coal to be loaded in mine cars the following day. When the men entered the mine last Friday morning two of the rooms were found on fire. The flames have steadily advanced since and now hold possession.

The mine being perfectly dry renders the situation more alarming and the direct possible and probable money damage is simply appalling. The mine is the largest in the valley, employing 300 men, aud all work has been suspended, all the entries and rooms being filled with smoke, preventing all efforts at suppressing "the trouble from fear of suffocation. A force of 50 men was put on duty to-day to check its progress if possible, hut the squads can do but little, being unable to combat the smoke more than a few minutes at a time. The slope extends three-quarters of a mile under ground. EAN IT! When we say we do the Best Printing that can be produced, we are ready and willing to demonstrate the fact.
