That was the Verdict of Mrs. Matte

Che Committed Suicide by Taking
Strychnine.


dasnerate woman decided upon as the
surest method Of self destruction, and at
obout nine O'Clock she swallowed a large
dose. Although efforts were made by
musicians to save the woman, the drug
nroved fatal, and her wish to die was
Granted at about eleven o'clock.
Mrs. Powell will be remembered as the

The Spokane Chronicle showed its
hand the other day when it published
three columns Of "stuff" against the ag-

how the institution would grow and pros

how Pullman was not the place for it.
We hope that those people who now take
50 much interest in the college will re-
member that it is no longer on wheels,
but permanently located, and that the
location has been approved by the legis-
ature.

CENTRALEA HIGH SCHOOL.

A few minutes call at the Centralia
High School furnished a pleasant
episode in the weeks events. We
heard but one recitation, that in
algebra From the readiness of the
pupils to demonstrate problems, and
the promptness OF replies, where men,
tai work was required we noted the
thorough discipline that prevails. Mr.
Paulus has the happy faculty of simpli-
flying the intricacies of mathematics,
hence the interest of the whole class is
obtained.
The school is under the superinten-
dence Of Prof. G. W. Paulus who is
serving his third year. He has super
vision of South Centralia and the new
North Centralia schools, having a corps
of eight teachers, with seven depart
ments. He presides personally over
the central high school having Miss
Anne Connor as assistant in the higher
grade; Miss Jennie Huban conducts the
grammar department; Miss Mabel Mil
ler the intermediate, and Miss Carrie
Lapham the primary. The South
Centralia school has one teacher, Miss
Howard, and the new school building
lately opened, has two departments with
Miss Bell and Miss Pelton as teachers.
No prettier site can be found in the
state than that afforded by the high
school, the grounds being veritable
park of pine and oak.
We hope when leisure permits to
give detailed review of the schools in
the twin cities sure that the public will
find more than passing interest in our
institutions of learning whose works
show forth our greatest pride.

FOR THE BOYS.

a story of one boy only fifteen years
old, says some fond mother, yet the
boy is growing to be man. The pip
ing childish voice takes on a deeper
tone, the step more resolute ring as it
strikes the pavement. A soft down be-
gins to show on the upper lip, and life,
and love, and hope, and home begin to
indivIdualize their outlines upon the
boys inner conciousness The germ of
an unknown fate is growing and taking
deep root, will its fruit be joy or pain?
pride or shame? The boy has new ideas
of his own Importance, an earnest and
longing wish to over ride the days, and
be recognized as boy no longer
Wild fancies and tumultuous wishes
crowd each other in the effort to learn
the ways of the untried world that
round him lies. The strength of the
strong young sinews knits the body
together like bands of iron, the strong
young hands ache to hold fast the lines
over mettlesome horse in test of
strength, the lith young limbs stretch
out to compass feats of indurance.
All that men-the men whom the
boys longing eyes longest rest on-can
do he conspires to do likewise. What'er
he lowest best that to must he become,
an SO as the days go on, the boy has
new aims new impulses and the strong
hereditary tastes and taints begin to
show a power unknown before. The
town, the crowd, the mixed elements
Of busy life beckon him on. May be
country home seems dull, its not hard
to swing the AK hour by hour in bring
Ing down giant tree, its easy to cover
mile after mile with long swinging
strides for is not manhood strong and
determined. What can overcome the
rich full blood that pulses through
heart and limbs and body.

LOGS AND LUMBER.

Oshkosh reports a scarcity of lumber
in all her yards.
Prices hold good at Merrill and very
little dry stuff is on the market.
A load of logs was hauled near
Rudolph, last week, scaling 1880.
F. P. Stevens is putting in 100000
feet of logs on the main Chippewa for
the C. R. & NJ. Ry.
The cut of logs in the Duluth dis
trict this winter will exceed that of
any previous year by 100000 feet.
Statistics show that more logs are
imported into Canada from Maine than
are exported from Canada into the
United States.
The lumber trade of this city is good;
more than local lines can handle, and
the stock Of dry lumber is getting
rather low. Prices are held firm.
Kewaunee has organized a company
for the manufacture of furniture. The
capital stock is S25 600, and is all taken
by resident business men Of the city.
Hemlock timber is advancing rapidly
and becoming in great demand. Mari
nette lumbermen say that a tract in
Taylor county Of 10000 acres held at
SlOO an acre year ago is now held at
$500 an acre.
Mexico will remove her import duty
of So per 1000 feet upon lumber from
the United States. At present the
duty is nearly equal to the freight.
Lumber trade between that country
and the gulf states will increase.
The Menominee Herald estimates
that this seasons crop of logs will be
IS, 1000, 900 feet short of expectations on
account of deep snow, etc. This
amount is rather large probably and
quite too early to correctly estimate the
total seasons crop.
The recent sale of 20,O0O,O00 feet of
the Indian logs at keshena amount to
s275 900. The logs are said to have cost
the Indians only $4,000 to bank The
balance $4,000 will be placed in the
Z. S. treasury to their credit, drawing
) per cent. interest.-Wausau Central.

HOW TO GET RICH.

You are, probably, more anxious to
know how TO get rich than you ue to get
to heaven. This may not sound very
pleasantly, but don't you think it Is true
of some persons with whom YOU are we'll
acquainted? There is a rule which, if OBJ
served carefully, will land you winner.
1t will not make YOU millionaire, but it
will enrich YOU to such an extent that
you will always have fair bank account
enable YOU to own your own home, ard
to feel quite easy as to the future. 1t is
the rule which all well-to-do people
have followed. Save something every
day. This is the rule It is shorter
than the golden rule, and more easily
observed by those who are not philo-
sophie enough torealize that by making
others happy is the only way in which
they can be really happy. By saving
something every day, if it is only a
nickel, you may readily become rich.
You understand, of course. that it is
one thing to be rich and quite another

an excess of means over actual expenses
and the damning power of one dollar
is as great as million, and may be as
effective in keeping one out of heaven.
The seat of dangerous riches is in the
heart, and not in the pocket. It is the
duty Of every one to save a portion of
his earnings. A nickel day or even
one week will, in the course Of time,
amount to sum sufficient to meet at
least some of the emergencies inciden-
tai to old age. The average young man
can easily save one dollar week, and
by practcing reasonable economy he
can double it. This, if judiciously in
vested, will make him independent of
everything except work. He cannot
live on the income from it, but it will
remove that sense of drudgery under
which those labor who live beyond
their means, or spend their salaries be
fore they are earned. Save something
every day and you will be a happier
and a better man, and your chances Of
final success in life will be greatly
enhanced.

Green Bays Quilt at the World Fair

Mrs. F. B. Seymour, whose residence
is at 333 South Jefferson street, has made
a quilt to be on exhibition THE Worlds
Fair that will do credit, not only to Mrs.
Seymour but also to the city of Green
Bay. The guilt is of black velvet en-
broidered in gold and orange silks, lined
with yellow surah silk. 1t is of about
the ordinary length and width and has
about every conceivable design of ma
ture on it. Among the many are"George
washington, " 'three little maids from
school, man in chair, y" tiger, "cam-
ell" animals, flowers, and other objects
too numerous to either mention or class
ify in this brief notice. 1t has two lin
ings,-an interiay and an outside, with
corded border of braided silk. Mrs.
Seymour was assisted in the putting on
of lining and cord by Mrs. D. n. Nor
gan. The work of making the quilt was
commenced by Mrs. Seymour in the
early Spring, so it can be easily realized
the great pains she has taken ever since
in executing the work. The holsters
makeup is as marvellous work as that of
the quilt and is real beauty. The quilt
and bolster will be exhibited on brass
bed-stead at the fair. Mrs. S. has had
it on exhibition at her home during the
week ending Saturday last, and it was
viewed by many, all of whom were
astOnished at the extreme fneness of
the work. There were critics among
the visitors, too, but not word, except
of praise, could be cleaned from them.
The room In which it was exhibited was
trimmed in suitable way for the con-
tlast to show effect. Tables with spreads
to match, flowers, drapery, etc., all
combined assisted in adding to the
surroundings most brilliaut scene.
Mrs. Seymour is the wife Of Mr. Frank
Seymour, and is an artist of consider
able notoriety The happy home Of
Mr. and Mrs. Seymour is decorated
with fancy work of all kinds, oil paint
ings, and decorations on dishes; all the
handiwork of Mrs. S. She is lady
that will give Wisconsin a laudible cor
ner III the history Of the World S Fair

BE PLEASANT.

1t is SO much easier to be pleasant
than to be cross. Of course we do not
refer to dyspeptics or to the equity; We
are talking to the healthy 1t is far
more natural for girl to be pleasant
than it is for her to be sour of visage
and crusty of speech. Nature never
intended the young to be cranky and
cross, any more than she intended a
robin to be a cat, or a bluebell to be a
nettle. In the first place parents have
much to do with launching disagree
able children into life. They thwart
and tease and poster the sweet DISPOSE
ton out Of a BODY, and then wonder
why it whines and cries. The unneces-
sary depriving of a little child of
cherished plaything, for no reason only
to suit its mothers Whim, is a cruel
thing and works a lasting injury Have
you never seen a mite of youngster,
after great difficulty and severe pains
taking, get an empty spool or harm
less bit of bright colored fabric into its
tiny hands, only to have it snatched
away by an unthinking mother for no
known reason other than to antagonize
the baby's will? Suppose God snatched
some one Of your darling joys out of
your grasp some day, suddenly, and
seemingly without cause? Will you
dare to repine remembering how you
have served your baby? Not one of
your treasures are dearer to you than
its paltry toy was to it. Teasing and
plaguing a child insures q cross disposi
ton. If we had our say We would
make "hectoring" a statute offense.
Surely the one who ruins disposition
and mars the sweetness of soul should
be punished equally with the robber of
a hen-roost or the despoiler of water
melon patch.

BIRTHDAY ANNIVERSARY.

1t is pleasant to record the golden
milestones passed in the lives of those
whose lives have been marked by hard
times and untoward circumstances.
Mrs. Benson, known to most Of the old
settlers as hard-working, Industrious
woman was the recipient of many
pretty and useful presents given her
last Friday afternoon and evening,
March 10th, by friends who gathered
at her home to celebrate her 64th birth
day anniversary. A feast was prepared
and old and young, big and little joined
in the merriment.
Mrs. Benson thinks her last days are
her best days and adds that her 9th
was the first birthday anniversary ever
celebrated. Pretty dishes, glass, china,
and japanese ware, aprons, tides and
silver spoons were among the things
given. Ben and Fred were at home for
the day to add to the pleasure of
Mothers holiday.

This statement is big of course,
but no bigger than the facts.
Should there be others they will
get quick recognition throughthesc
colums.
The man who thinks he has a
good idea of our stock without
coming in to see is left. The In
dian who put single feather on
the ground anG laid down on it to
get an idea of what a feather bed
would feel like might have felt
pretty we'll satisfied in his own
mind but he knew very little about
the subject after all. And SO it is
with the person who thinks he has
a good idea of our stock without
ever coming inside the store.
This stock must simply be seen
as a whole to be appreciated and
the prices that are asked must be
considered relative to quality be-
fore it can be understood how
moderate and reasonable they are,
A uniformly high grade stock at
uniformly low prices is certainly
worth the consideration of careful
buyers. Come in and look it over.

mothers that we have still some of
