A POWERFUL DOSE
Drahk Q Bottle of Supposed Poison But Quickly
Receivers


1t is probably owing to the thought
fulness of a youthful drug clerk that
Mary Clausen Is now in the land of the
living, as she took big dose of sup
posed poison last night, but it proved
harmless, except that Miss Clausen
threw up about everything but her hold
on life. She went into drug store on
First street last evening and asked for
some poison, adding that she wanted it
for rats. The clerk evidently smelled a
rat, as he gave her something innocu-
GUS, but of powerful action.
Miss Clausen has been rooming on
Main street, near Arcadia, and at a lit
tie before o'clock stood talking with her
brother in the hallway. What passed be-
tween them is not known, but Miss Clau-
sen suddenly produced a vial Of supposed
poison, drank good portion and shat
tered the bottle on the sidewalk. The
brother ran for telephone when she said
mediately conveyed to the receiving hos
pital,
There DR.. Bryant attended her and
soon had the stomach violently throw
ing off anything and everything 1t con-
tanned. After an hour Miss Clausen
was sufficiently recovered to be taken
home, supported by her brother and a
lady friend. 1t is said that Miss Clau-
sens parents reside on Omar avenue,
and that her mother is a midwife. The
old lady was injured by being hit several
weeks ago by bale of hay which fell
from passing wagon upon her in her
buggy, breaking her collar bone.

KANSAS CITY is MADE GLAD
By Munificent Gift From a Wealthy
Citizen
ihomas n. Swope Presents the City With a
Thousand Acres OF Land for
Park

KANSAS CITY, June 7.-Kansas CITY
mas been made the recipient free of
cost, OIL park property second in point of
area to no public park in the United
States. The gift was made byThomas
II. Swope, one of the city's oldest citi-
zens. The property is situated four
miles southeast of the city and contains
acres Of timber lands, and ther4 ist a
broad natural lawn of 100 acres. 1t is
grandiy situated, and admirably
adapted for the purpose intended. The
only conditions eXacted by the donor
is that the land be named Swope park,
and that the city during the next ten
years expend at least $4,000 year in
improving the grounds.
Inc land Is the finest in Jackson coun-
ty and is worth easily a quarter of a
million dollars. 1t is a perfect park,
made so by the grand hand of nature.
and 1t Will require but comparatively
small expenditure to make it ocaLty
spot unrivaled by any place. 1t will be
the second largest park in the United
States. 1t will give the seeker after
rest from the heat and tumult of the
city chance to wander for three miles
in any direction through green groves.
1t will give the pleasure-seeker fish
ing and boating and all sorts of out door
sports. 1t Will be laid out with handsome
drives, boulevards will run to it and
through it; artificial lakes will be built
and ball grounds and tennis grounds
will find a place on it's beautiful
stretches of level meadows. Swope's
park will be the grand center Of the
complete park system that is to make
Kansas City rdiant. 1t will be the
pride of all Kansas citizens.
5 The donor is the most modest of
men. For years Mr.. Swope has been q
familiar figure upon the streets of Kan
sas City, and yet few men in Kansas
City knew him well. He is man who
keeps his own counsel and no man is
more opposed to the notoriety of public
print.
MIR. Swope is a graduate Of Yale. After
his graduation he read law for year
dn Gainesville, Ala. From there, in
1856, he came to Kansas City. His early
investments made here and in Wyan-
dotte were the foundations Of his for
tune. In 1854 he made extensive per-
sonal explorations in the Rocky noun
tains. At Butte, Mont, when it was an
unimportant mining camp, he took UP
claims and became one of the founders
of it's industries. His interest In edu-
cation was proven five years ago, by the
gift of $4,000 to Center college, Ken
lucky.

of the "Mahatna" show, which appeared
at the Los Angeles theater last night. to

The manager had, about 8 o'clock. ap-

could be done for them. and sorrowfully
departed thinking Of their vanished ex-
pectations.
In explanation of his action in paying
only 30 cents each to the boys, the man
ager admitted that he owed ttAm more,
but was absolutely unable to pay It. He
had paid $3.50 out for the theater, adver-
tising, printing and other expenses, and
had but just IS cents in his pocket as the
net receipts of the night. It was his In
tention to fully square all accounts, and
he would do SO as soon as he got the
money. The boys need not worry, as he
would see that each and every one was
paid as soon as the "Mahatmas" saw

Died All Alone

SAN FRANCISCO. June Miss May
Worrall, young English girl who arrived
here from Australia last Thursday. died
Of heart disease in her apartments at the
Palace hotel. Miss Worrall arrived here
unaccompanied and said she was making
tour of the world. Her visiting cards bear
the name: Miss Mayne Worrall. Chester
Lodge, Gilston Road, South Kensington:
Worralrs arrival, received letters from her
London solicitors asking them to look out
for her on her arrival here. In the dead
woman's room was found 5000 In cash, a
letter of credit for $1,000, an extensive word
robe and about $2500 worth of jewery.
An autopsy held today showed that
Miss Worrall did not die Of heart dis
ease as at first supposed. Her stomach
will be examined to find traces of poi
son. No word has yet been received
from England regarding the disposal of
the body, although the young woman's
solicitors in London have been notified
of her death. Miss Worrall was ap-
parently not over "a years old, and was
evidently Of good family. Although
she was travelling around the world she
was absolutely alone.

ALASKAN GOLD FIELDS
Color Can Be Found Anywhere, Bat the Gold
Is TOE Fine to Be Saved

Is Too Fine to Be Saved
OAKLAND, June 7.-Dr. r. X. Dunn
of this city has returned from the Alas
kan gold fields with anything but fiat
tering report of the outlook for the num-
dreds of prospectors scattered through
the snowy wastes or tnat territory' ~,
Dunn declares the truth has not been
told concerning the gold fields. He left
Oakland in February last with the
Walker-Pennock expedition. He has
returned very much disguised and
satisfied that gold mining in Alaska is
an elusive dream.
'eThere are probably not less than
1900 men scattered about Resurrection
and Six Mile creeks" said the doctor,
"and claims haev been staked out every
where. Why, some of them are staked
out on f1fty-foot snowbanks and no one
knows what is beneath them. Mining
and prospecting is impossible, and it
will be at least six weeks yet before the
snow will have left the ground. So far
as the outlook for gold is concerned, it
Is very difficult to tell. A prospector can
find color anywhere along the creeks,
but it is very hard and in most cases
impossible to save the gold. The ex-
periments with gold machines have
proved failures.
1.-The mining country is located along
the creeks. Both Resurrection and Six
Mile creeks have many tributaries and
upon these prospectors have located.
The outlook is decidedly bad. At Coal
bay there are about twenty-five men
and they are awaiting the melting of
the snow to go to work. Some color
has already been found there, but the
next point is to save the gold.'
DR.. Dunn stated that the health of
those at the locations he visited was
good. The general situation was very
discouraging, he believed. because of
the hundreds at the gold fields who were
unable to accomplish anything because
of the snow. Under his calculations the
season for actual work on claims will
not be longer than four months.

its waters down the four miniature
