WASHINGTON STATE.
Its Midsummer Climate and its Gigan.
tic Fir Trees.

Mrs. James E. Houghton has re-
ceived letter from her sister in the
state Of Washington, dated July II,
containing much that is of interest
concerning that distant country.
Speaking of weather conditions at
Arlington, her home, she says: Il
know that you are nearly suffocating
there at Plymouth. Here everything
is just lovely, SO fresh and green and
not sunstroke in the whole state.
The days are balmy and bright and at
night we sleep under comfort, sheet
and spread and are just right. 1t

prosperity.
Enclosed with the letter was a
newspaper clipping giving an account
of gigantic fir, cut near Arlington
for the forestry exhibit at Buffalo.
The tree measured 10 feet inches in
diameter at the stump and 4s4 feet in
circumference. The first limb sprang
150 feet from the ground and the tree
scaled 10000 feet of lumber, log meas
ure. the largest growth of the kind
known in that state. Itwas followed
out and is used for the Washington
headquarters at the Pan-American ex-
position, being capable of seating 80
people in a circle around the periphery.

Old-faShiOned Training
Its Strong and Weak Points.

Inc strong point OF the old'fashioned
training was the stress laid upon moral
ity and virtue. rBe good and you'll
be happy" was the common precept set
before the growing child. But as the
girl grew up 70 maidenhood she was
often sorely puzzled to reconcile those
past teachings with her present condi-
ton. She was good. Her soul was
pure as the lilies of her garden. Her
heart was undehled. And yet she was
desperately unhappy by reason of physi-
cal ailments common to women.
This was the weak side of old
fashioned training: 1t ignored the

ing of those rows of noble naples that
are now so attractive. A similar
thought was expressed by General
Harrison a few years ago.
1t was when the ex-president was
on one of his campaign speaking tours.
His special train passed slowly across
Michigan street and Col. r. b. f.
Peirce called the attention of the
party to the broad avenue stretching
away to the south between the lines
of arching trees, then ablaze with the
glowing colors of autumn.
A Plymouth man i'm the coach was
asked how it happened that the trees
were planted Sc regularly and were of
such uniform size and kind, apparent
ly indicating the design of one mind,
and he replied that \. L, Wheeler,
the father of Colonel Peirce's wife.
had inspired the work. General
Harrison said that it was one of the
finest streets in Indiana and that it
had great possibilities of beautifica-
ton, adding that the magnificent vista
made by the parallel rows of full
grown naples was in itself nobler
monument to Mr.. Wheeler than could
be raised in marble or granite.
But few residents of Plymouth.
perhaps, appreciate what a magnifi-
cent avenue they possess in South
Michigan street, with its great width,
its smooth surface. its handsome
lawns and residences and, above all.
its double rows of shade trees that are
excited nowhere and seldom equalled.
Still less, probably, do the people
realize that with very little cost, in
addition to that of paving, the street
can be made into a boulevard of
striking beauty, one that no city in
the state outside of the few larger
ones could equal in years of effort.
The new brick pavement is to be
laid forty feet wide between curbs,
thus leaving very wide space be-
tween the curb and the present side
walk line, which. as it now exists. is
not leveled or terraced with any APP
proach to uniformity, and the walks
are Of diverse material in various con-
ditions as to repair. This space, in
creased ON each side of the street by
the narrowing of the roadway in paw
ing, presents most valuable oppor-
tunity for identifying the avenue
cheaply and permanently.
By removing the walks to or near
the curb and putting them on new
grade conforming to that of the pave
ment, the walks to be of stone or
cement and the space thus gained to
be graded, leveled or terraced with
the dirt that can be had free of cost
from the street excavation, beauti-
full esplanade on each side would be
formed, containing double row of
trees and amounting in effect to that
much of an addition to each owners
front lawn. Besides the added beauty
of such plan and the increased lawn
space there would be the further adj
vantage of greater privacy in the
houses resulting from the removal of
the stream of travel to greater dis
tance from the front door.

INSANE AND DESPERATE
He Returns from Insane Asylum to Kill
the Men on whose Testimony he
was Incarcerated.

Michael Kelly, an insane man,
yesterday at the Office of the
Robert Garrett Lumber compa
ny, in the business district, shot
six persons, killing one, proba-
bly, fatally wounding another,
and more or less seriously wound
ing four others. He was himself
finally killed by policeman, who
vainly tried to overpower him.
Kelly had lived in Leaven-
worth for years and at different
tunes had engaged in small bust
ness enterprises. He was eccen-
trio, and during the presidential
campaign in 1896 lost his mind
entirely. At that time he was
arrested for creating a disturb
ance and later threatened to kill
John r. Garrett. He was arrest
ed and adjudged insane, Garrett
and four others testifying against
him. After year in the Tope.
ka asylum Kelly was released.
He had been acting queerly
again and he had declared he
would kill the five men who sent
him to the asylum. Almost dai
ly for two weeks past he has
been practicing shooting with a
revolver at the Fort Leaven-
worth range. Tuesday night he
drank heavily.
Yesterday shortly after II
o'clock he appeared at CARROTS
Office, which is situated on the
ground floor, at the corner of
Sixth street andCherokee avenue.
and without warning shot Gar
rett as he sat at his desk. Gar
rett fell from his chair and into
the doorway, when Kelly DELHI
erately fired four shots more in
to the PROSTATE form. Garrett
was shot once in the neck, in
the left breast, through the liv-
er, and twice in different por-
tons of the body. Leaving his |
victim for dead, Kelly ran fifty
yards to the rear of the compa-
ny's lumber yard and began re-
loading his revolver.
Presently he returned to the
office to find DR.. McCiee, who
had been attracted by the shoot
ing, bending over Garrett, level
ing his revolver on the window
sill, Kelly took deliberate aim at
the physician from the sidewalk
and fired. The bullet struck
McGee in the back at the spine,
and he toppled over near where
Garrett lay.
Then followed an exciting
street fight between the mailman
and policemen who came to the
scene. Kelly, fourishing his
revolver, dashed through the
lumber yard. He met Ike Heal
er, a laborer, and shot him in
the hand. A few yards farther
on he encountered Sergeant
Dodge The two exchanged
shots as they ran. One bullet
from Kelly's revolver struck
Dodge in the neck, but not be-
fore that officer had shot him in
the shoulder. Kelly kept on
running and was soon confronted
by Detective Mcdonald and Po-
Iiceman Falthager. Mcdonald

Kelly sank to the ground and
was carried to the station ia an
condition, dying soon
after his arrival there.
Garrett never regained con-
seriousness and died an hour after
being taken to the hospital. DR..

it is believed he cannot recover.

fatal, while the wounds of the
others are slight.
