Apropos the Fairmount-Winfield debate
the Winfield DAILY Courier explains their
defeat by saying that Paramount had
the best side Of the question, and the
Fairmount dsbaters were more advanced
than theirs. That's all right, Winfield.
Please remember that the question debat-
ed was one of your own choosing and that
your representatives, like ours, were
chosen by contest which was open to all
the members of the college.

The Travelling Library.

A little library was sent TO school dis
trict in Neosho county last fall. One Of
the school board members writes COM
mending the work Of the State Federation
and adds: I'VE are sending now for fifty
volumes Of our own and will add TO them
as our means permit, but do not believe
our district would have made this move
had not they been melted TO it by the use
of the travelling library" This is only one
instance. In almost every place the little
library is the inspiration for club,
permanent, new library or the building up
Of an old one.

Letters have been received asking if free
entertainment is provided for the delegates
at the state meeting. The Federation has
grown TO such proportions that it would
be a considerable tax on any town of mod
crate size TO freely entertain it, and il
would also prevent smaller towns from ex-
tending an invitation for its meetings.
The local committees have made arrange
ments for reduced rates at hotels and
bOardings, and will secure lodgings for all
who apply to them, but that is as far as
their duties extend. When this matter is
fairly understood each one will govern
herself accordingly, and three will be no
disappointments.

DESERTED BY HIS WIFE
Despondent Over His Misfortunes
Knudson Attempted Suicide.
LIFE WAS FAST EBBING
When the Timely Arrival of Medical
Assistance Brought Him Back to

Hard Luck

Kitchens Exchange hotel in South
of so many suicides and attempts at
suicide, had the misfortune night be-
fore last ito be selected as the place for
another attempt at suicide. X. l..
knudson, quite a well-known citizen
was the individual Despondent over
misfortunes, in which desertion by his
wife figured prominently he went to
room in the hotel, blew out the gas and
laid down to WOO oblivion. He was dis
covered before it was too late, and the
timely arrival of medical assistance re-
stored the life that was fast ebbing.
1t was early in the evening of Thurs
day that Knudson went to the hotel
and paid for room. Taking the KEY,
he went upstairs as was supposed, to
go to bed. Yesterday morning not far
from 8 o'clock Proprietor Gus Fitchen
was passing through the hall, and when
in front of Knudson's room he detected
the smell of gas. He endeavored in
'effectually to arouse the inmate and
finally tried to eject the key, which was
on the inside, in the lock. He at length
succeeded and opened the door with a
pass key. On entering he found Knud-
son lying on the bed apparently in the
last throes of death. He was frothing
at the mouth and his breathing was
slow and labored. The room was so
filled it was impossible for one to stay
in 1T, and Mr.. Kitchen summoned as
s1stance and had the man removed to
another room. DR.. Sievers was sent
for and arrived in a short time, He
applied electricity and administered
other restoratives and had his man out
of danger inside of an hour. Knudson
insisted, after his recovery that he did
not blow out the gas with thoughts of
suicide, but remarks he made to those
about him before he reached that stage
leave little room for doubt as to his in
tentions.
knudsons many friends express sym
pathy for the unfortunate circum-
stances in his life which led him to
the conviction it was no longer worth
the living. He seems to have had more
than the share of downs and less of the
ups than generally fall to the lot of the
man who tries to do the right thing.
Though he is accounted a good man
and willing to work he has been I'M
fortunate the past few years in secur-
ing anything permanent in the way of
employment, and added to his financial
worries a new trouble came few
months ago to further depress his
spirits. when his wife deserted him.
Recently, it is said, his actions at Dill
lon and later here have been such that
some of his friends have expressed the
opinion that his mind was becoming
impaired. The combination of misfor-
tunes is doubtless what prompted the
attempt at self-destruction.

A WOMAN IN THE CASE
More Light Thrown on n, B.
Boothby's Disappearance.
LILLlAN'S WARM LETTER
She Will Be Prosecuted, If Caught. for
Sending Obscene Correspondence
Through the Mails Suspected
of Forging Mrs. Boothbys Name

The disappearance Of H. B. Booth
by, the Colorado company assayer, has
developed q sensation. There no long
er seems to be any doubt that he left
town in company with young woman
who had supplanted his wife in his af-
fections. Evidence Of this was discov-
cred yesterday by Mrs. Boothby while
she was looking over the few effects
left behind by her husband, and found
among them letter written by a girl
from Virginia City and signed Lii
liam 1t was addressed to INV Dear
BASH middle name--and
was of such warm character that it
was deemed a proper thing to be re-
ferred to the postal authorities and the
United states district attorney now has
possession of it, The letter smoke Of
the approaching union between the girl
and Boothby and in nine days, she
said, she would be oh, so happy. and
she trembled In anticipation of it, The
letter was written from Virginia CITY.
but bore no date, but contained the day
of the week, Wednesday
Inc letter also contained other refer
ences which caused Mrs Boothby to
call on the county attorney Yesterday
and ask for the apprehension and
prosecution of the girl on the charge
of forgery, and Boothby as an aces
sorry. After Boothby had sent his wife
East on visit he executed two chattel
mortgages-one on the household fur
niture. which was the property of Mrs
Boothby, and the other on a horse
buggy and harness, which also be-
1onged to her On the furniture he
raised $3.50 and the mortgage bore only
his own signature. On the horse and
buggy he got 800, and the mortgage
was signed by himself and also with
the name of his wife s. Lena Boothby
written in a feminine hand. The mort
gage was drawn up by c. S. Passmore
and it set forth the fact that only
Boothby, one of the parties to it, APP
peared before the notary, together
with George Adams, the man to whom
it was executed.
In the letter found by Mrs. Boothby
yesterday the girl made the significant
statement that she would Sign and
send the document over" Unfortun-
ately. however, the document" re-
ferred to could not, as a matter of law,
be identified as the deed to which the
girl is suspected of having signed Mrs.
Boothby's name and as 1t would be
improbable that any one could be found
who saw her sign it, the possibility of
convicting her would be very remote,
and as Mrs. Boothby is precluded by
law from testifying against her hus-
band, no case could be made against
him and the county attorney so in
formed her. She was very anxious.
however, to have her husband and the
girl brought back and prosecuted, and
as the only chance she had of making
a case against the, girl lay in the OBJ
scene letter the latter sent to Boothby,
it was determined to turn it over to
the United States district attorney. 1t
is believed that the couple are still in
the state.
Mrs. Boothby stated last evening that
Lillian's other name was Waters and
that BOothby first met her about II
months ago.
