TRIES TO SUICIDE.
Miss Pearl Bennett, of Bowling,
Hangs Herself to an
Apple Tree.
BUT THE ROPE PROVES TOO LONG
Discovered by Her Brother..Sad
Case of Mental Derange.
msnt.

From Bowling township comes sad
story concerning Miss Pearl Bennett,
one of the well known young ladies OF
that section. who, broken down phys
ically and meotally. last Wednesday
attempted to end her existence.
In April Miss Benefits mother was
operated on for the amputation of
her foot, since which time she has
been practically helpless. On the
daughter devolved the responsibilities
of the household and the care of the
mother, over whose condition she
constantly worried.
OF late memb bers of the family and
friends noticed Miss Bennett was act
ing peculiar. but did not consider her
case serious. Wednesday morning
when the family arose Miss Bennett
was missing. Her brother Carver
went to search for her, and was
shocked to discover her in the act Of
attempting to hang herself. Had she
not been interfered with it is believed
she would within few moments have
succeeded in her purpose.
Rope Too Long.
She had fastened one end of the
rope to an apple tree and the other
about her neck. and had jumped from
box upon which she stood. The
fact that the rope was too long alone
prevented the success of her first ef-
fort.

Welcome Appearance Today-A Settle
ment Possible.
The electric street sprinkler made
a welcome appearance this afternoon
and laid the dust on Second avenue.
The move was made at the request of
Chairman Gall. of the waterworks
committee, who, realizing the attitude
of the public in the matter. asked
that the sprinkler be brought out
pending possible settlement between
the city and the company.
The city has not only consented to
meet the company in spirit looking
to a settlement, but has taken it upon
itself to see if some concessions can
not be secured from the street rail-
way company by which the latter
will bear a part of the burden.

A Wrong Guess.

The Modern Woodmen society has
been involved in the reports concern
ing the trial of Caleb Powers. for al
legged completely in the conspiracy to
murder Gov. Goebel, of Kentucky
G. F. Weaver testified he was in
Frankfort the day of the assassination
and saw the rifle that killed Gov Goe-
bel protruding from window in the
office of the secretary of state. In an
effort to impeach Weaver's testimony
the repub blican papers claim it is now
discovered that on the day of the as
sassination Weaver was at Grayson
Springs, KY, engaged in organizing
a camp of the Modern Woodmen.
Whether Weaver was in Grayson
Springs people this far from the scene
are unable to say, but they do know,
if he was there, that he was not or

A VALUABLE FEATURE.

THE ARGUS has arranged to provide
it's readers with an exceptional feature
that will be found very interesting to
those who are interested in culinary
subjects-a department wherein will
be found many practical suggestions
about what to eat and how to prepare
food. These articles. which will ap-
pear under appropriate headings twice
each week. will be found to be entirely
different and vastly superior to the
average matter which is duplicated by
so many different papers. 1t is copy
righted and is prepared by Ida Ames
Willis. one of the best known writers
on food subjects in the country. Those
who follow it may find many nuggets
of culinary wisdom that are eminently
practical. The first installment OF
matter for this department will ap-
pear in Saturdays issue.

wife past so. For years he had been
of a grabbed disposition and had often
threatened her life as well as that of
