Adolph Balge, a son-in-law of John Miller of this place, who, a few years ago, kept a small shoe store on Jefferson Street in the Miller building, committed suicide last Friday in Milwaukee, where he has resided most of the time since he left here. He had not been well for some time previous, we learn, and complained of a dreadful pain in his head which he feared would cause insanity and it is believed that he ended his own life in consequence of this fear by cutting his throat. He leaves a wife and two small children. Friends of the family here sympathize deeply with them in their bereavement. The body was brought here for interment and was buried in the public cemetery this morning.
