She died at 1:16 o'clock. The girl was left alone at home this morning, when her stepmother left the house about nine o'clock.She returned at ten o'clock and found the girl lying across the bed, unconscious. Drs. B. G. Keeney and F. E. Ray were called to attend her. They found that the acid bad been taken some time before their arrival, making the chances of recovery very doubtful.A note was found in the girl’s room addressed to her father. Will Chesser. It contained only few lines, bidding the father and a young brother. War* ren, good bye. The girl also told her father In the note that she had become tired of living and had decided to end her life.It was said today that the girl had no troubles that were known to the father and that the neighbors knew of no differences that the girl had. The father stated today that hisdaughter was of a cheerful disposition and that she seemed cheeTfnl all of Tuesday and again this morning, when she was preparing the morningmeatiOA MAY FAVORITEWellKnown Woman Died at Home This Afternoon*HerIda May Favorite, a woman of wide acquaintance in this city, died this afternoon at 1:50 o’clock at the home of her mother, Mrs. Caroline Favorite, 202 Coleacott street Miss Favorite was bora in Piqua, Ohio, September 18, 1866. Her father was Stephen D. Favorite. She is survived by her mother, two sisters, Mrs. Robert W. Harrison, Mrs. Frank R. Hale, and one brother, Samuel Favorite, of Indianapolis.Miss Favorite was a member of the First Presbyterian church from early girlhood. For a number of years she was employed by W. A. Powell.The cause of death was cancer. Thefuneral arrangements have not been made.Dr. M. H. Thomas, of Huntington, assistant secretary of the -ndiana committee the CommUbJon for Relief In Belgium, was in Shelbyville Tuesday afternoon interviewing'the people on the subject of grain donations for the Belgium sufferers. When told what Shelby county people have done on that score Dr. Thomas was much gratified. After getting together what information he considered necessary he concluded that the best and about the only thing to do beTe is to secure an organization to ask the farmers of Shelby county to donate 1,000 bush-eds of wheat to the cause. Dr. Thomas returned to Indianapolis late in the evening expecting to return hero Jn a few days to take up the work.The honorary chairman of the Indiana comm lesion is the Hon. Charles W. Fairbanks. The chairman la Henry Lane Wilson, of Indianapolis. The treasurer is S. A. Fletcher, and the secretary is W. E. Barton, both of Indianapolis. The members of the committee are scattered throughout the state, each and every man being a representative citizen of special high standing.That there is need tor relief in Belgium there Is no doubt. Conditions there are worse than deplorably bad. In times of profound peace, when all the inhabitants of that country are hard at work at their occupations, the country is four-fifths dependent on the world for what it gets to eat, in otheT words it is not a food producing country. What the Inhabitants eat and largely what they wear is purchased in other countries. Cut off from their occupations they have no money to buy with even ''there was food to be had. The JhIiIi money can not buy food in except from the Relief Commsalon. Practically all of Belgium Is being fed by the relief committee of which the Indiana commission is a part No picture too dark can be painted of what is transpiring there—of the hunger, of the want of the destitution. It Is to assist in relieving these conditions that the farmers of Shelby county will be called on. When the call will be made is not known now.If the local organization Is made It will be by trusted and well known men. A place to deposit the wheat will be designated and then every farmer will be asked to bring in all the wheat he can spare and in willing togive.The arrest by the officers of the men charged with being participants in the disgraceful scenes enacted last Saturday night will be upheld by every law abiding citizen. Officers of the law are humans. Like the rest of humanity they are liable to mistakes, but when in the discharge of their duties as peace officers they are entitled to the support of all good citizens. If this support should be withdrawn, which is impossible, the lawless element would be in control. Tiie disturbance of Saturday night was brought about largely through the mistaken idea that the general public has condemned law and order. A worse mistaken notion never crept into the minds of men. The trouble with the class who conceived that thought was that they measured the community by their own standard.Order and peace are going to rule In Shelbyville regardless of price. Laws will be enforced regardless or the wishes of the few. There is no room for argument. Law and order will reign in Shelbyville.The guilt or the Innocence of the men under arrest is not taken into consideration. The courts will take care of that.Rout, riot* rebellion are all bad words.
