Worry over the stckuess of his wife
and son and tho fear of taking typhoid
fever drove Mr Daniels to committing
the rash act
For three months Mrs. Daniels hns
suffered with typhoid fevor. Three
weeks ago while bhu was convales-
cent John the 14-year old sou of Mr.
and Mrs. Ddiiio's full Hick with the
dreaded disease. For several daya
Mr Umilela llttd Acted .Strmieely
and seemed crazed with worrlmcnt
over his domestic misfortunes. Slnco
Saturday he had holdom uppoarcd at
his olllco and seemed pre occupied.
Fioiu all that can be learned his busi-
ness affairs nro in excellent shape and
he'had no causo for gloomy feelings 011
that score.
Yesterday morning at ft o'uloek Mr.
Daniels was seen on Oklahoma avonue
wrapped in a heavy overcoat. He
walked with nervous strides and spoke
to no one.
Itode Hrfore Ho Dlpd.
It was the custom of Mr and Mrs.
Daniels to ride out ovory evening at 0
o'clock. Last flvoulng was no oxoep-
tlon to tho rule. After an hour's ride
over tho oily Daniels and wife drove
home. The horso was hitched in front
of the houso and the couple wont in.
Mrs. Daniels busied herself about tho
bedside of her son Johnuie and waa
giving instructions to the colored ser-
vant Mrs. Lovic J Crowley and tho
nurse Mrs. Suodgrass when Daniels
appeared in the kitchen with drawn
and haggard face.
The Daniels home Is a one story cot-
tage and 0110 of a row of oottagoa
built by Mr. Daniels soveral yours
ago. It contains six rooms til con-
necting portlerres giving place to
doorB. Tho kitchen and the bed
room in which tho sick eon lay ad-
join and immediately west of the
kitchen in tho front part of the house
and north of the drawing room is a
large room unpapered and unoarpctcd
tho only furniture boing a small stand
on which rests n mirror and soveral
boxes containing clothing.
I. ant Word of llunleli.
Mrs. Crowley was engaged in prepar-
ing ice water to cool the parohod lips
of the stricken boy when Daniels con-
fronted her. He had subs lttited slip-
pers for shoos and had removed his
coat and vost tie and collar. Around
his ucok swas a white handkerchief
tied in several knots.
"1 cant sianii tins drain any
longer;" orled Danlols to Mrr.Crowluy
"I am afraid I am taking that nooursed
fever." Mrs. Crowley sajs Daniels
snapped his fingers impatiently as he
Bpoke.
"Oh you will come out all right"
Mrs Crowley replied but before the
sentence was finished Dan'ls turned
dirocted some unlntolllglblo words to
Ills wife who was in the sick room
and walked into tho drawing room.
Three minutes later a shot was hoard
followed by the falling of & heavy
body.
Mti. Daniel! Dried Murder.
Mrs. Crowley and Mrs. S nod grass
seroamed and Mrs Dauiels eriod "mur-
dor" and divining that something
dreadful bad happened swooned away
John Hixon was walking dlrelly in
front of the Daniels heme when the
shot was fired and Hixon ruilhed to the
house and into the vacant room from
whence the shot was beard. A horri
ble sight met bis gase.
Dead In III Own lllood
Lying in a heavy pool of blood on
his btomaeh and face was Daniels. A
slipper was off his loft foot his hair
was dl&novellud and both the fset were
turned In the twes almost touching.
The body lay dlreftty in front of a
table tt the south side of the room
with the head almost under It Hoih

stream of blood gushed from hole

revolver was disclosed. Theun was
clutched in the right hand and one
chamber waa empty. TKe bloody
floor the red-stalncd shirt and the
ghaitly drawn look on the face of the
suicide presented a horrib'o spectacle.
Mrs. Danlols was immediately re-
moved to the home of Mr. and. Mrs.
Speed and the police and coroner noti-
fied. Dr. Darker Immediately sum-
moned a jury and after viewing the
remains tho jury retired to meet at
10 o'clock today when testimony will
be taken. At 10 o'clock last night
Undertaker Uhodos embalmed the
body.
Sick Nun Ittnra All.
fcAn especially sad feature of the
tragedy lies in tho fast that the ron of
the deceased heard the fatal shot ami
the thud of the body as it toll. The
boy had been unconscious almost all
day but recognized his fathor and
mother as they catno in from their
drive. According to thoso present he
asked several questions and remarked:
"I won't give up; I'm a sick boy but I
won't rjlvo up as papa naB done."
Immediately after the shooting all
kinds of wild rumors gained currency
but the ubnvo story Is eitbstantlaily
correct. One report is to the effect
that Danlolrt was a mania? when the
shot was fired; another that he had
planned the suicide for several days
and stood In front of a mirror in his
shirt alcoves and alined; fatal shot

It is almost certain thul Mr. Daniels
had absorbed typhus germs and was
delirious when he took his own Ufa
Yesterday morning he called at Hie
Hank of Indian Territory and stating
that he was with fever gave the
bank oftiuials the keys to his olllee and
ciusod tho following nollco to be
posted on his olllee window:

Washington Sept 22. -Dominie t
Mttrphy commissioner of pensions
has mnde hie annual report for the
fiscal year ended June 80 1806 to
Secretary Francis. In tt tie says:
"There wero added to the rolls during
tho year 40374 new pensioners and
there were restored ib73 who had
been previously dropped a total of
IV-M?. During the same period the
losses were 30303 by death and 11 II
by remarriage widows) 1081 by legal
limitation (minors) ?Wi because of
failure to claim pension for three
years and 0'.'33 for other cans. -an
aggregate of 1IUU3. The net gum
ovur the previous year was only I M
and it may be now safely assumed
that the roll from this time forth will
show a marked and steady diminution
unless Cougrcis should enact
still more liberal provttioita
than are now upon the ntutiitu
books. 'I he rate of inorlaiity
ainong our pensioners particular y
among thoso who served dur.ng the
war of tho rebellion is rap.diy in-
creiitlng the number repm-le 1 de-
creased during the year far fcc !mg

the history of the bureau. The whole
number of pensioners 011 the mil June
oo. lfryo was "TO.irti. Wliile the rolls
show u slight gain lit nuiiilnrt uver
the year immediately preceding tin
amount disbursed fur pensions was
$l3sV. I.Ttli a decrease 01 i.Mi-'lri;.'i as
compared with the previous year.
There were 4ttci pension claims
pending at the close of the lisc.il year
'J.') 13.(7 being applications for increases
made by persons now on the rolls."
Although last year's estimate of
140000000 for peosions was I T'J'J.
820 more than was necessary for the
past ilscsi year tho commissioner
duplicates Hint estimate for the next
fiscal yenr stating lhat ho believes
the ad judication of many cases will
make the full amount necessary. It
Is ills Intention to push the settlement
of eases as rapidly as possible. An
estimate of ll.r.'ti.oVo is made for mis-
cellaneous expenses.
Tho commissioner says the pjvmeut
bv vouchers has worked suti'-fueturlly
and opposes a return to personal pay-
ments. Some difficulty has been i'X-
fierlenced in the execution of vouchers
11 Cermany and the Statu department
ha been requested to furnish bureau
information as to what rersomt have
authority to administer otitic. There
are 00 1 Culled States pensioner in
Oermany.
Hngardlng tho revision of tho pen-
sion list the commissioner says:
"There is no foundation for the er-
roneous impression that it is the in-
tentlou still further to revise the lists
us the purging of the rolls which was
commenced in 18U3 has been entirely
accomplished. It ought to be under-
stood however that there stilt exists
the purpose to inaiutain the pension
roll aa the nation's roll of honor."
Concerning proseoutlons Mr. Mur-
phy says: "Offenders asralnst the pen-
sion laws have been so vigorously
prosecuted during the past three years
that the criminal work of the law di-
vision has been 'materially lessened.
Through the combined efforts of the
(law division and the special exsmina-
vioii division mere ims ucen reiunueu

ered as tho outcome of the civil suits.
During the year .1 i'J Indictments were
found and there were "43 reetJinmcuil-
atlons for prosecution The numbe"
of convictions was l'i7. Hie number of
sentences 100 and eighty-two offend-
ers agaiust the pension laws nere
taken into custody. I am glad to
state that the rigorous measures iii -diluted
by my predecessor huo appar-
ently discouraged violators of the
pension laws and rendered the busi-
ness of procuring fraudulent pension
unsafe and unprollt.ib'e."
Commissioner Murphy commend-
the work of special examiners and
says Hist the additional force of I
should be continued. Thecoitof th s
force during the year was H'i7i'SH I Ik-
says the pension building is at present
inadequate for the work and makes
