centre OF the city and Happy Valley
scores Of new buildings can be- seen. In
every direction structures more or less
pretcntiOus, la all stages OF construction

the building line Is not due To anything
In particular but is simply Ia answer TO
the demand for moro houses. No better
evidence Of the confidence manifested In
the future Of the Focal City can be had
than the fact the property owners are not
content to allow their lots TO remain va
cant and hold them merely Tor specula-
ton but are willing 10 erect good sub.
stanlial buildings expecting only to re-
cciyc fair interest on their investment
Last summer the scarcity Of dwellings
houses Of all descriptions was especially
noticeable and In answer to the demand
numerous small buildings were erected
These continue TO bc occupied and even

A BRIDE CHOOSES DEATH
a Black Fiends Crime the Cause of the

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, March 10 Mrs.
Alice Miller, bride OF George Miller, liv-
Ing two miles north of Sweet Springs,
committed suicide Sunday night by taxi
ing large dose Of arsenic. As soon as
she had taken the poison. she so informed
one Of the young ladies of the house, but
nothing could be done for her, aud she
died about ten minutes after the physi-
clans arrival.
Mrs. Miller was the victim Of a brutal
assault by negro, William Price, on the
evening of November Z. Price barely es-
capped being mobbed at the time. He Is
now in jail awaiting the action OF the
grand jury. The horror had weighed
upon the poor woman's mind, and was
doubtless the cause OF the suicide. At
the time Of the assault the poor woman
was not married, her name being Alice
Ninas. She was married about six weeKs
ago to George Miller, a highly respected
citizen Of the neighborhoOd.
A meeting of citizens was held Monday
at the mayors office, with view of or
RanZing party to attend TO Price, but it
adjourned without any definite action be-
ing taken.
