Galesburg, 111..

Feb. 2. Special. Lee Rogers, a well-known resident of Quincy, Is in the hospital here with two severe scalp wounds as a result of a singular attempt at suicide in a Chicago, Burlington and Quincy chair car last night. Rogers left Quincy during the afternoon for Elgin, where his wife and child are and where he was thinking of going into business.

The train reached here about 11 o'clock and the chair car was set on a sidetrack to await the next train. In the car were Rogers, a newly married' couple, and the porter, who sat behind Rogers. On the way here Rogers had been drinking and was sick. This, combined with domestic troubles and business difficulties, made him despondent. Suddenly pulling his revolver, he placed the weapon to his head and began firing.

The first bullet did not penetrate the skull, hut passed under the scalp and emerged a few inches from where it entered. The second bullet also passed under the scalp. Rogers kept firing away, but was so unsteady that the bullets missed his head. When the revolver was emptied he reloaded it and again tried to put a bullet through his head.y The bridal couple, who had been crouching behind a seat, ran from the car, and the porter followed. Two bullets went through the car window.

The porter, in great trepidation, hunted up officers. As the latter were about to enter the car they heard the last two ehots fired by Rogers. The car was thick with powder smoke. Going to Rogers' seat, they found sitt ing up. his 'face black from powder grains and streams of blood pouring from the wounds.

The revolver was on the floor. Rogers walked with them to the baggage-room, where an excited cro.wd soon gathered. He told them he had attempted suicide because he was discouraged and felt like it. He was taken to the hospital, where this morning he said that he was opposed to suicide and was glad that he had not succeeded. An examination of the car showed seven bullet-holes In the woodwork and two through the window.

Rogers himself says that he fired nine times, and he insists all nine bullets hit him. His escape Is deemed remarkable. concealment on the part of those operating the best value ever given in America for the money notched tailored collar and storm collar not a detail slighted.

Tanner was in the city yesterday, and those of his friends who saw him in his rooms at the Great Northern Hotel went away thoroughly convinced that he is sick. He is thin in flesh and his voice and general manner clearly indicate weakness. He talked with evident difficulty, and his conversation was frequently punctuated with a distressing cough. He was obliged to lie on his bed during a good share of the afternoon. 1 have finally yielded to the wishes of my doctor," he said.

and will go South for a rest and change. I have not fixed upon the length of my as that will depend entirely on how I feel. I am suffering from the effects of the attack of grip which I had some little time ago, coupled with hard work. If I had gone away for a rest right after the attack of grip, as I was urged to do. I think I would be all right now; but there were so many matters of Importance demanding my attention, matters which I thought I could not neglect, that I felt I should stay at home and keep at work.

I little doubted I would soon become all right. I did pick up for a time, but the pressure of business has been great recently and I guess it has been too much for me. I greatly dislike to go away, but I am convinced reluctantly that it is the best thing for me. I am confident the rest and change will make me all right in a short time." When asked as to the prospects of street railroad legislation at Springfield, he said: I am of the opinion that something along the line of the bill Senator Berry introduced in the Senate and Representative Rankin introduced in the House will be enacted into a law. 1 do not like the commission feature which Senator Berry's bill contains.

I stand firmly by my original suggestion that this authority should be vested in the State Railroad and Warehouse Commissioners, but I am not particularly displeased with the other features of the bill. In Favor of Reduced Fares. My principal contention, and, in fact, the one idea above all others that I want to see incorporated in any measure touching on this subject, is the provision that will bring cheap fares to the people who ride. Any legislation touching upon this subject would have in view the welfare of the middle and poorer classes of- paople, the people who have to ride, not the wealthy people who own property and who seldom ride in the street cars. In other words, I do not believe the poorer classes should be taxed In the way of fares to help pay the taxes on the buildings and other property of the rich.

To my mind it is perfectly clear that any progressive legislation in this matter of street railways should be in the direction of lower fares. This benefits the great mass of the people, and this shou'd be the object of all legislation. There are many families of the nnnwp whnst exnenses in the ly at the end of the bar, and any one may walk into the betting-ring without opposition or challenge. Important to MoneySavers.

D. Peb. 2. A notable speech was made In the Senate today by Mr. Spooner of Wisconsin.

He took for his text the" anti-expansion resolution offered by Mr. Vest. He discussed the question of expansion In all of its phases, and urged the ratification of the peace treaty, although he opposed the permanent occupation of the islands by the United States government. ilr. Spooner spoke for three hours, and through his brilliant oratory, fine ability as a close and astute reasoner, splendid qualities as an advocate, and adroitness and cleverness at repartee, held thecareful attention of an unusually large number of Senators and a large audience in the galleries.

Doubts Benefit of Expansion. In beginning, after a brief statement of his reasons for speaking at all, he said: 1 lind no objections, constitutional in nature, to the ratification of the pending treaty. The Senators from Connecticut (Piatt), Colorado (Teller), Ohio (Foraker), and Minnesota (Nelson) have fully presented the views on that point which I entertain." Mr. Spooner said he hoped that the flag raised over Cuba would not have to remain long, but that tha United Stites would soon leave there a happy, free people. He hoped for the same thing in the Philippines, but said there was nothing inconsistent with this view in ratifying the treaty.

He did not believe that trade would be enhanced by the expansion of our territory to distant lands ami government of people who could not assimilate with ours. Instead of being an advantage to our trade it might be a great detriment. Mr. Spooner said if he thought ratification of the treaty meant permanent dominion over the Philippines he would not vote for it. If I held the view," said he, that the United States could not within its constitutional limitations inquire territory which was not to be erected into States I could give my consent to the acquisition of the Philippine Islands.

This Philippine proposition is one of the fruits of the war to me one of the bitter fruits. 1 can conceive of no circumstances under which I could give my consent to the admission of that archipelago as a State or as more than oneState of the American union." Dred Scott Decision Wrongs Mr. Spooner then presented an argument in contravention of Chief Justice Taney's decision in the Dred Scott case, which, he said, was the foundation of all the opposition to the acquisition of territory by this government. That, decision," he said, "ceased years 55c The penciler posts the odds, fhe. nncnln? ROB SOUTH DAKOTA FARMER.

William Graham Meets an Affable Stranger and Soon Parts with $300 in a Saloon. William Graham, a farmer, 65 years old, arrived at the Rock Island depot from his home, Watertown, S. yesterday, and a minute later a dapper young man who carried a valise offered to show the farmer about town. He told me he was a traveling man and that -he sat behind me on the train, but I didn't him on the train," said Graham to the police, who found him at the Union Depot waiting for an Erie train to take him to New York. He had been directed to the wrong depot.

Graham told the old story of the obliging stranger and the confiding rustic. He took me into a sample room," he and he and another feller got to playing cards. One feller threw the cards over and over and the other feller bet on them.

He expressed the opinion that the present session of the Legislature would be shorter than usual. I have talked with a number of the leaders on this subject," he sad, and it is the almost universal opinion that the session will probably end by the loth or 2oth of April. An effort certainly will be made to make it as short as possible, and I do not look to see it extend beyond the date I have phenomenal bargains.

Mr." Spooner Yes; for the purposes of my argument, I am disposed to admit it-Mr. Piatt Conn.

They have that right now. Mr. Tillman, inquired whether the Inhabitants of a Territory could be prevented from entering the States. Mr. Spooner said the Senator from Connecticut Mr.

Piatt was inclined to believe they could be, but he himself doubted it. Mr. Tillman, further along, pressed his question as to the right of the Filipinos to come here, and declared that by admitting the Islands by treaty, 10,000,000 people of that territory could' take the first ship for this country and upon arrival here could enter Into competition with American, labor.

He was Johnson Botch, an engineer, West Van Buren street, a companion of Finnegan the night he was killed. Michael Sullivan was Identified by Rotch as the one who struck Finnegan and knocked him down the stairway. He said four assailants, of whose identity he was not positive, with the exception of M. J. Sullivan, kicked and struck the prostrate form and disappeared down the stairs to the street.
