Miss Hattie Weems, the actress
who is a member of the "Killarney
on the Rhine" company, attempted
suicide on Friday, Dec. s, at Balti-
more, Nd, by taking morphine.
She had been i'll all last summer,
from injuries received in a railroad
wreck, and only within the past
few weeks did she feel we'll enough
to accept an engagement. She was
engaged as leading lady in the
above named company.
When she went to the first re-
hearSal she was shocked to find
that John DOwd, her husband,
from whom she had been,separated,
was to be her stage lover. They
have been married about five years,
but for the last nine months have
lived apart. Miss Weems at once
gave the manager Of the company
notice that she would quit, went
home and bought three grains of
morphine, all of which she took.
She then told her landlady here
that she was going to die, and
wished to be buried il, her Ophelia
costume of blue silk.
A physician was hastily sum.
mOned, who worked with her until
she was out of danger. Miss
Weems was sufficiently recovered
today to regret the step that she
had taken, and accompanied the
company to Pittsburg. She and
her husband will play the parts
originally assigned them.

During the heavy thunder storm yes

about wear ago, and cost over Sl,ooo,
and was insured for $500.
The second one came just as the storm

FIRES.
Two Very Close Calls During the
Week

just as the morning church services
were commenced last Sunday an alarm
OF tire was sounded, and smoke was seen
rolling out from the roof of Elliot's barn,
A large crowd quickly assembled and
the hose carts were soon Oh the ground,
but valuable time was lost before a
pressure Of water could be- secured, and
Tor some time it looked as If the build
ing would have to 60 When the water
was secured, the work of the tiremen
was greatly hindered by the bursting of
the hose in several places, showing that
this part OF the fire apparatus is in very
poor condition, and not to be depended
upon in an emergency. The delay occa-
stoned by this and the waiting fer water
after the alarm was sounded would have
proved OF serious consequence If the fire
had secured any headway on the outside,
but being confined to the loft, and slow
ly burning through the roof, it was soon
subdued when a steady stream could
be poured upon it, notwithstand-
ing there was quite breeze blowing at
the time. The roof and some of the in
side timbers were pretty we'll burned,
with some Of the contents of the loft,
the loss amounting to about SlOO The
barn was not insured The cause Of the
fire is mystery, as there was no one
known to be around the barn for some
time previous to the discovery of the
fire. On Monday forenoon the alarm
was again sounded, when the loose
straw and manure scattered in the alley
Wav near the barns OF nj. Olds and K.
Walby was discovered to be on fire, and
running up the side of the Walby barn.
few pals Of water, however, got this
out before any serious damage was done.
The small boy and the fire cracker was
the responsible party for the blaze, but
its timely discovery prevented what
might have developed into destructive
fire. These two narrow escapes from
fire are but reminders Of the danger we
are in and should stimulate everyone to
the utmost care and precaution While
everything is so dry and tinder like that
spark is likely to cause blaze at any
moment. Rake up the loose straw and
rubbish and see that the children with
fireworks are not allowed absolute lib
erty.
On Wednesday evening the alarm was
again sounded, the Chinese lanterns
hanging in front Of p. Herrlck's store
having caught from fire cracker, out
the blaze did no more harm than TO
badly scare people, and afforded another
warning of danger.
