LEFT HIS WIFE'S ADDRESS.

Then Louis Belderbeck Sat Down and
Took Poison.

Brooding over business difficulties, Louis Belderbeck, 35 years of age, attempted suicide at the Helping Hand institute last night. At about 12 o'clock he went to the night clerk in the institute and had him make a note of his wife's name and address in Omaha, Neb. He then went around the room telling each of the men present that he was going on a long journey and would probably never see any of them again. He then went into the chapel, sat down and swallowed morphine. Some of the people who had remained in the room after services called a doctor. He was treated and sent to the emergency hospital, where it is said that he will recover. He had been at the Helping Hand two or three weeks.
