A sad case of suicide occurred about
five miles east OF Walhalla on Monday.
Miss Annie Dalzell young lady about
eighteen years old, had been suffering
from an attack of melancholy for a week
or So, She was seen going to the stable.
Later one other brothers went to- the
stable to losk for something and found
her in a heap on the floor. Thinking
she had tainted he called another brother
and they lifted her from the floor and
found her dead. Apparently she had
shot herself through the heart. The re-
volver was new one lately brought to
the house and had not been fired before.
Coroner Eskimo was notified and iury
decided it to be a case of suicide, but no
cause could be assigned, and it was pro-
badly temporary mental arrangement.
The deceased was of pleasant DISPOSE
ito and popular among her associates.
Her sad death creates universal symp,-
thy for the sorrowing relatives.
Barney Johnson is building Portable
Pneumatic Pontoon Palace on the water
at the mouth OF the Pembina for a home
for the new gasoline yacht. Wednesday
Barney laid the foundation Of tile
palace on the water, and then put the
frame together on the shore. Then
Barney attempted to slide the frame out
onto the coal oil barrel foundation. But
coal oil barrels are very round and bouy-
ant and slippery, and in general rather
unreliable as foundation for buildings,
especially when laid in water. At the
place where Barney struck bottom the
water was four feet deep and the mud
was one foot more. Barney is six feet
long, hence the hole that Barney uses to
whisper and swear with was still far
enough above the surface OF the water to
enable him to properly express his feel
ings. Even Register Chisholm, who was
standing on the bank, was compelled to
steal sadly away and leave space for the
explosives that were crowding the air.
Celery is plant that is easily grown
in this country and seems to thrive well
in our rich soil. There is no reason why
every family that has small patch Of
ground should not have an ample supply
of this delicious vegetable. Perhaps
however, we should qualify this latter ex-
preston, because few springs ago two
gentlemen Of this town, one of whom
was formerly the principal official in the
clerk of courts Office, concluded to 90
into the celery business on a rather ex.
tensive scale. So, securing a large
amount of government seed, they went
to the nuisance ground, dug some splen-
did rich mold from rotten manure, filled
boxes and planted the seed. The seeds
came on finely, never better, and later
were duly transplanted to the long rows
of trenches in the garden. By the first
of June they were already foot high, by
July first they were two feet and still
growing; but, alas, by that time the
foliage showed conclusively that each
and every one OF those carefully tended
celery plants were MISUNDERSTANDING
weed. The farmers declared it was
nothing but another fraud of a govern
ment elected by the republican party,
but most people think it was the natural
product Of the rich mold and that the
farmers were not up in botany as they
| should have been.
