WANTEDTO DIE.
Louise Burkett Takes CarboIic Acid Yes
terday But Is Saved,

A few weeks ago a william by the name
of Matt McFadden betrayed young and
ignorant girl by the name of Louisa
Burkett She is only II years OF age
and can neither read nor write. He pro-
posed his findish designs to the girl but
although she was in love with she re-
sisted the honeyed words that rolled
from his tongue. He said he would
marry her and came over TO town from
the West Side and got a threshing ma
chine contract which he told her was a
marriage certificate. He got an accom-
plice who acted as preacher and they
were married. Three weeks after the
bogus marriage rites were performed
McFadden left for parts unknown.
The girl soon learned that she had
been the dupe of a william and tried to
make the best of misfortune. She went
10 work a boarding house on North
Topeka avenue. Yesterday afternoon
she attempted to commit suicide by TAX
ing carbolic acid. She probably would
have died mad she swallowed the acid as
is usually done. She had been told that
the surest death was 10 put carbolic
and suck il. This was what saved her.
as she did not get enough TO do her any
particular damage.
After taking the acid she walked to
the corner OF Fourth avenue and First
street, where she climbed over the fence
Of Mr.. Aliens. From there she walked
in daized condition to Mrs. Wrikht's
at 219 North Fourth avenue, where she
wenc up stairs and her condition be-
came known. DR.. McClees was sum
moned and administered antidotes ana
after about three hours hard work had
the girl out Of danger.
After McFadden left the girl she be-
came acquainted with West Doney. who
lives on Moslsy avenue How il came no
ones knows. but that is where she start
ed for after taking the poison. She in
tended TO die in front OF his house Miss
Burkett some time ago joined the
American Volunteers, but after her un-
fortunate affair with McFe5den she quit
and did not attend their meetings for
some time. Afterwards she joined the
Salvation Army. II is said that this is
not the first time that she has tried 10
end her existence.

but Mr.. Doran credited himself with the
amount which credit is included in Mr..
Patterson's report In 1895. however, the
tax was paid and the payment not prop
erly credited on the books and this does
not appear in Nr. Patterson's reports
because it was not credited on the

DULL AND WEAK
Wheat and Other Cereal OF in Prices With
Very Little on the Market.

The local wheat market continued 10
be slow and dull yesterday. Very little
grain was offered for sale, although there
was more on the market than on Mon
day. Wheat remained in a normal con-
dition with soft wheat selling at so cents
and hard at IS. Oats was up a fraction
over Mondays figures. What few loads
there were on the market sold for II
cents. Corn was off a little with abso-
lutely no demand. Prices ranged from
Il to % cents per bushel The farmers
are not inclined 10 bring their cereals
TO market with the price down as it has
been for the past week. They are all
waiting for wheat 10 take an upward
shoot and touch the dollar mark.

Jory In the Legislature.

Tacoma Ledger: Commercially and
politically Tacoma feels the wsrmest
sentiments for the great county of Yaki-
ma. Both material interests and per-
sonal friendships tend to cement this tie.
These feelings prompt the hope that in
two years from now the Kingdom of irri
CATION will dig up something more potent
than one Jory. The gentleman is a mild
hammered ass, but his asininity is
nevertheless unquestioned. He acted as
chairman of the engrossing committee,
and in this regard gave his best efforts
to the service of the people. However,
his constituents would have been Just us
well off # not better, had he confined his
efforts to the engrossing and enrolling
room. As legislator his failure has not
even been brilliant. We eat some laki
ma lruit ana vegetables, and under the
prosperity which is now on It's way west
we hope to eat more. We desire that
they be transported chesply, as trans
portatiou has marked effect on price.
With n clear majority of his own party
in both houses Mr. Jory failed to secure

According to his own testimony the bill
which passed enables the railroad to

The big fight at Carson city, Nevada,
WAS won in the fourteenth round by Fitz-
simmons who secured Knockout blow
over Corbett's heart. Corbett went down
on his knees under the blow, and a look
of agony covered his face while the referee
counted the ten seconds that deprived
him OF the worlds championship for
heavy weight fighting. Corbett appar-
entity had the best of the contest up to
the last two or three rounds and was
fighting easily. He claims that it WAS a
chance blow that lowered his colors and
that he will insist upon fighting Fitzsm-
mons again, but the latter says he has
fought his last battle and will never en-.
ter the ring again. The fight was un-
doubleday the greatest in history but did
not prove much OF a financial success for
the management and it is predicted that
this will be the last of the big pugiistic
tournaments.
