TIRED OF LIFE.
DR.. Bostwick Kills Himself With =
a Rifle.

DR.. J. NJ. Bostwick committed sui
eide last Sunday afternoon at J. M.
Shepherds home ten miles north Of
Hamilton, by shooting himself with !,
p caliber target rifle.
For the past three months he has
lived in Hamilton and has been drink.
ing heavily, consuming, it is said, an
average of a quart of whisky each
day.
Last Tuesday he accepted an iinv;.
tation to drive out to Jack Spepherd's
ranch and spend few days. The
doctor was trying to sober up and
seemed somewhat despondent. On
Sunday He remained in bed all day,
At o'clock in the afternoon Luther
rhrower, who had been hunting chick.
eus, entered the Doctors bedroom
carrying y rifle WHICH he set down
in corner and turned to leave the
room, whereupon the doctor SAID,
what kind of game can you kill with
that little gun?' Thrower answered
that it would "kill anything from :.
mouse to man." and left the room,
A few minutes later the doctor was
heard moving about the room, and
shortly after the report Of gun was
heard in the room. Mr.. Shepherd hur.
ried in and found that DR.. Bostw;ck
had shot himself. Blood was squirting
from wound in his neck. His head
moved convulsively several times and
then he lay absolutely quiet, never
uttering word. The shot was fired
at $40 and he ceased to breathe at SOS
p. m.
The doctor had secured the rife, got.
ten into bed again aud covered him
self with the bed clothes. and, placing
the rife on top of the covers, the rnuz.
zle touching his neck on the right side
under the chin, pulled the trigger. The
ball evidently ranged upward ana
lodged in the brain. The cartridge
used was a q caliber short and the
ball scarcely larger than a pea. Il.
seems incredible that so small pro.
jectile could do such deadly execution.
Coroner Adair held an inques. on
Monday and the jury brought in 4 YER
dict in accordance with the facts as
set forth above. The body was brought
to town that evening and prepared for
interment.
DR.. Bostwick was about 81 years Of
age, native of Eau Claire, Wis, and
where after his graduation he built up
and maintained a good practice until
too much liquor spoiled it all. When
the Spanish war broke out he went to
Chicamaugua as>surgeon with Wis
cousin regiment. Upon being mus
tered o,'t he went to Republic, WASH,
and practiced a few months, coming
from there to H. i...>milton. Deceased
leaves wife and fv..Sear-oio son.
and other relatives residen. i, "a"
Claire. Mrs. J. NJ. Higgins am Mts'
Don,inick Mcguire of this city and Ns
were cousins.
DR.. Bostwick during his short So
journ here made friends, being quiet
unassuming and cultured gentleman
and to whom his untimely death was
a great shock.
The funeral takes place today at
2:3O o. III. at the Hamilton cemetery
under the auspices of the local lodge
Of Maccahees. Of which order the doc
tor was member in good standing at
Eau Claire, Wis.

New Department mt YoI.

New Haven, Gonna new denart
ment has just been opened at Yale
where students of limited means can
secure an education by their own labor
Prof. c. l.. Kicell has been appointed
head of the new department, which is
a sort of employment agency. He win
be go-between the Yale men who moab
assistance and the merchants who oro
willing to give them work. Professor
Kicell will also investigate applications
for remission of tuition, scholarship
fellowships, the kind of employment
offered and the manner in which the
work is done by the Yale applicant.
The opportunities for paying ev.
penses at Yale are classified as follows
by the faculty: Prizes and scholar.

tutoring, remission of tuition, waiting

dences of private families in the CITY
The force of men employed for cleo
trical work by the Yale athletic organ
iZation is now recruited almost entire
ly from undergraduates. In the theo-
logical school a new system goes into
effect today in the distribution of the
money paid to the undergraduates The
divinity students will make pastoral
visits, lead prayer meetings, call upon
the sick, take charge of city missions
and will be paid part or the whole of
their scholarships expenses, according
to the amount of the work they do.
This policy of distribution of scholar
ship funds was made at the demand of
President Hadley, who believes that the
system formerly in vogue tended to
|pauperize the students.
| The Yale officials state that never
before have there been as many chances
for earning part or all of the college
expenses as at present. The class
which was graduated last June shows
that of 327 members, Is entirely paid
their expenses, Is others nearly all and
total Of 60 paid large part of their

SDOkane'S Exposition,

The Spokane Industrial Exposition,
will be held this year from Octo-
Der I'd to the 10th inclusive. The man
agement is new and many new features
are to be added. Mr.. w. E. Hawley,
secretary of the Chamber Of Commerce,
is secretary and manager. The work
OF preparing for the Exposition was
commenced earlier than ever before and
in consequence many improvements are
promised. 1t has been decided to re-
duce the admission fee from the twenty
five cents of last year to fifteen cents,
which will undoubtedly make the at
tendance larger than ever before.
Many new entertainment features al
ready have been secured, the greatest
of which is the Royal Marine Band of
Italy, forty pieces, twelve soloists and
one tenor singer. This is the finest
musical aggregation which ever came
west and only was secured because they
desired to make trip to San Francisco.
Music lovers of the east have gone mad
over the magnificent music of this
band.
Among a long list of entertainers
who will contribute to the amusement
as we'll as instruction of the visitors to
the fair, in addition to the band, two
or three famous performers have won
worldwide regulations. Among these
is Atlantic, who in beautiful flowing
robes performs wonderful feats of fire
dancing, all the while posing upon a
| 10 ole Of Grc iob Oh l
stage under the control of the beautiful
dancer. Little Nero, the wonderful A.
year-old tight-wire walker, is another
big attraction.
The premium list for the exposition
has been prepared with great care this
year. 1t is now ready. A large amount
Of money has been appropriated for
cash prizes, and in addition some splen-
did special premiums are offered. AS
usual generous cash prizes will be
awarded to the county and district ex-
hibits and a $3.50 Studebaker wagon
Will be given to the best individual
fruit exhibit raised on one farm; a S75
double set of harness will be awarded
for the best individual exhibit of
N' oA"0000' AooIo anu vegetables;
a 500 steel range for the best exhibit
Of canned goods and preserves; a $50
improved Spokane sewing machine for
the best exhibit of jellies and pickles;
handsome $85 light wagon for the
best individual display of garden
truck; $175 buggy for the best gem
eral exhibit of fruits, grains, grasses,
roots and vegetables, raised by one man
in either the Palouse or Big Bend coun-
try.
Last year the mineral department
was universally pronounced one of the
best, if not the best, at the exposition,
and this year there will be a still better
display of the mining resources of the
Northwest.
