WOMAN TRIES To DIE
Mrs. Otto Boenitz Just, Misses
Her Heart With a Revolt
yer Bullet.
DOMESTIC TROUBLES THE CAUSE
Fires the Shot While Alone in Her
Room-Taken to Hos
pital.

Mrs. Otto Boenitz, who, with her
husband, has been living during the
past month with Mr.. and Mrs. Mich
ael Foley, at 913 Twenty-frst street.
attempted suicide by shooting herself
lust over the heart yesterday after
noon al l o clock.
She was taken to St. Anthony's hos
pital in care of DIR. j. r. Hollowbush,
and her condition this afternoon is re-
ported encouraging. The ball, which
was fired from a revolver, epassed en-
tirely through the lung and the doc
tors have been unable to locate it.
The motive for the act is not en-
tirely clear, but it appears that she
had been having trouble with her
husband and was in g. condition
bordering on delirium when she fired
the shot.
Mrs. Boenitz is % years of age and
was married year ago in Moline,
where her husband was employed in
Deere & Co.'S shops.
About a month ago the couple took
up their abode at Foleys, Mrs.
Boenitz and Mrs. Foley being sisters.
Husband Out of Work.
Since coming to this city Mr..
Boenitz has been out of work most of
the time and a tendency to worry over
financial affairs may have had it's in
fluence on the wife's mental con-
dition.
Mrs. Boenitz was alone when she
made the attempt at self-destruction,
and no one heard the shot fired. She
called to her sister that she had cut
herself, and it was not known how she
was injured until the doctor examined
the wound.

MISS RIVES RETURNS.
Author of "Furnace of Earth
Will Spend the Winter Here.

Miss Halle Erminie Rives, the
we'll known Christian county writer,
arrived in the city last night, on
her way south to spend the winter
She will spend few days here with
her cousin, Mrs. Ben f. Briggs,
and will also see her father, Mr..
Stephen Rives, who will come down
today from Murray.
Miss Rives came from New York,
where she has been residing the
past few years doing literary work,
by way of Buffalo and Chicago. AT
Buffalo she attended a literary
banquet, at which she read an
original poem, the theme of which
was Kentucky. The guests at the
banquet applauded the effort very
handsomely and the newspapers Of
The city were quiet lavish in their
praise of Miss Rlyes and her liter
any productions.
Miss Riyes began writing seven
or eight years ago, while She was
still a resident of Kentucky, but
after awhile she felt her efforts
were not duly appreciated by her
home people, and she sought in
New York d field where merit is
measured without regard to senti
ment, and appreciated, for what it
is worth. There her talent was
soon recognized by the leading pa
pers and magazines of the metrop-
oils, which have patronized her pen
very largely the past few years.

Special attention has been paid to
color printing in The Century of

nothing else that has been done in

ness of effect the results that have

MURPHEY.ALExANDER.
Christian County Boy Weds an
Alabama Lady.

Last Wednesday afternoon in the
rectory of st. Michael and All
Angels church at Admission, Ala
bama, Prof. d. h. Murphey, for
merly of Pembroke, now superin-
tendent of the Admission public
schools, and Miss Josephine Alex
ander, the eldest daughter of Mrs.
A. c. Alexander. of the latter place,
were united in marriage. The
groom is son of Prof. e. J. MUIR
phey, of Pembroke, and his many
Christian county friends join the
KENTucKIAN in extending the usual
congratulations.
In announcing the happy event
an Admission paper says:
prof. Murphey has been resi-
dent of this city for several years.
During that time he has been ac-
lively engaged in educational work
and is widely known throughout
the county and state. He is yet a
young man and this fact is eloquent
of his ability and fidelity to trusts
imposed, evidenced by the fact that
he is at the head of the three large
public schools of Admission. His
friends are legion and he has won
them by exhibiting the best traits
of character. Few men of his age
command the universal high es-
TEEN and good will of his fellow
men as does Prof. Murphey.
Miss Alexander is one of Annls-
tons noblest young women. To
those who are so fortunate as to be
numbered among her friends, she is
loved and admired tor her gentle,
Christian characteristics. Few
women are gifted with disposition
so quiet, and yet withal so sweet,
unassuming and generous.
The couple will reside at the resi-
dence of Mr.. and Mrs. ]. c. Sproull,
on Ouintard avenue.
