TIRES OF A LIFE OF SHAME
Hattie Bartell of the Burnt District
Makes Two Unsuccessful At
tenpts nt Suicide.

Tired of a life of shame and without
hope OF an opportunity to better her lot,
Hattie Bartell, living at 11S North Ninth
street, made two unsuccessful attempts to
put an end to her existence. Monday night,
having purchased a quantity of morphine.
she swallowed a large portion of it on re-
firing, but it proved an overdose and med
ical attendance prevented death.
Tuesday night about 10 o'clock the girl
disappeared. A companion found in her
room a note implying an intention to kill
herself and giving directions regarding the
disposal of her effects. including a con-
siderable sum of money. Five hours later
she reappeared at the resort but refused
to tell where she had been. About mid
night a Waterman in the railroad yards
found a woman walking along the bank of
the river. AS she would not answer his
questions he feared an attempt at suicide
and compelled her to leave. The description
was that of the Bartell woman. Her real
name is Peterson and her home is Marshall,

MUSIC.


Rosenthal, the eminent pianist, was the
attraction at the Boyd theater last night.
The house was not o~veTcrowded, owing
probably to the fact that those who would
have been willing to hear the greatest plan
list of modern times hestitated when they
considered the unnecessary increase in
prices.
For a musical critic to attempt a criti-
cism Of Rosenthars work would be some
what like unto a schoolboy shooting with
a slingshot at Joye's thunderbolts, for the
man is beyond the criticism of the every
day musicians mind. He is great, is
Rosenthal, and his greatness is unim>
peachable.
He came from the stage to the piano In
the manner of a man OF intellect entering
into his own library, for such the scenery
depicted. And when he had seated him
self at the plano the hush was intense while
the opening strains OF the old-fashioned
but never uut-of-iate Mozart sonata floated
through the listening space.
The poetry OF Rosenthal enthralled the
audience and he was pronounced the mon
arch OF the pianoforte at once. Then In
the Chopin sonata the virllity Of the artist
was apparent. as the scherzo and the finale
were handled with a force sufficient to in
dictate inherent dramatic force and ability.
And what shall be said OF the other gems
In the evenings diadem? Nothing, except
that the browning glory was the display OF
the players capacity and capability as a
composer and as an arranger.
The climax OF this part OF the work was
probably the "Carneyal," based on Strauss
themes. In this the man, the player and
the creator were visible and the audience
was willing to be appealed TO for several
hours, but as all things must sooner or

supply of Dog Tags.

Five hundred dog tags were received by
City Clerk Carpenter yesterday afternoon.
The annual dog tax is due on May 1 and all
owners of CANNES will be expected to call
at the clerks office between this time and
May l and procure a tag. The rates will be
the same as last year-$1 for a male dog and
81 for a female. Last year the policemen
made an early morning tour OF the city and
shot all dogs found running loose. In sew
eral Instances mistakes were made and an
imals with tags were killed. 1t is more than
likely that this year the killing or capturing
OF untagged animals will be left to the gar
bage master and his assistants. The new
tags are in the shape of an acorn and are
made Of aluminium. with the name of the
city, the date and the number Of the tag
stamped thereon.

Must File Good Bonds.

Acting under the instructions Of Mayor
Ensor, City Clerk Carpenter yesterday
served a written notice on Chief Carroll to
the effect that all policemen would be ex-
pected to file a good and sufficient bond at
once. Out of the present force only nine
policemen have filed bonds according to law.
All bonds require a revenue stamp OF the
denomination of 30 cents and this the police
officers will be compelled to furnish, as
there is no appropriation available out of
city funds for the purpose. In connection
with police matters it might be stated that
several extra policemen have been put to
work in order 10 enforce the recent order
of the mayor in regard to midnight and
Sunday closing. Just who will pay for these
extra policemen is a question. as the fund
for police maintenance is exhausted and no
expense beyond the limits of the fund can
be incurred except in emergency cases.

The packers report that the trade in
smoked meats is improving. in fact there is
a better trade in this line than there was a
year ago at this time. One of the managers
Of the provision department of a prominent
packing house said yesterday that the pros
poets for higher prices were good on account
of stock in the hands OF the packers being
low and the demand constantly on the in
crease. All of the local packers are doing
their best to accumulate a surplus. but this
cannot be done as long as the demand con
stantly increases. With all the demands at
the present time the requirements are not
equal to those OF a year ago and owing to
the shortage reported in live stock the mar
Het for packing house products will I'M
doubtedly go higher.

They found him in bed putting away at his

was seated on the bed beside him. and when
Mosely was arrested he insisted that the
hop outfit belonged to her. The police
think differently, however, and will prose-

HEARD ABOUT Town.


"spud" Parrish. while being one of the
best fellows imaginable, is considered
among his friends as being chock full Of
nerve and capable of backing up any bluff
he might see fit to make. He made an offer
recently while in Kansas City, however.
that kept himself in breathless suspense
for a moment and fairly shook the glasses
from the nose of Mark Lewis, a Chicago
newspaper man, who accompanied him.
'Spud" was crossing the street at the
Junction one day and while boarding a car
lost his pocketbook containing some passes
and something over $50 in cash. He did not
discover the absence OF the book until an
hour later. Then he hied himself to the
office OF an afternoon paper where he re-
lated his woes. OF course the boys who knew
him said You're easy" and That's a good
story to tell but this did not deter him
from writing an advertisement Offering a
liberal reward for its return.
A couple OF days later when he had about
given up hope Of hearing from his book
again he received a note from a young
woman asking him to call. Accompanied by
Lewis he went to the house. They were ad-
mitted by a very pretty girl who asked
"Spud' to describe the book he had lost.
He related briefly a list of the contents,
which the young woman evidently round
correct as she handed him the lost article.
Taking the $50 from the book 'Spud"
handed it to her and said it was no more
than right that she SHOULD have a suitable
reward for her honesty. This was too much
for Lewis. who knew that he and his friend
together possessed just SITS with which to
resist the wiles of the citizens of Kansas
City. .'Spud" was game. however, and al
though his hand trembled he did not appear
to care a snap for the cash. The mother OF
the girl came to his rescue by saying she
could not permit such a present for the mere
return OF the book. The pair gulped down
their hearts and left the house thankful that
they were again flush, and breathing all
kinds of blessings upon the head OF the
finder of the money.
