Montgomery Lodge 596. Benevolent Pro tective order of Elks, has been flourish ing in a very substantial way recently, and the membership has grown to about five times what it was when this lodge was instituted about ono year ago.

 At the last meeting of the lodge committee of three. consisting of District Deputy. l.. V. LaTaste. Henry c. David son and Ben S. Griel. was appointed to take the initial steps In the matter. and it will not be a great while pbefore Mont gomery will have added to its public in stitutions an Elk home.
 Birmingham lodge has recently invested $2O, 900 in an elegant home. and Montgom- cry, though a very much younger and smaller lodge will not let its sister city make a very much better showing.
 It Is probable that about $15.0O0 will be the amount invested by Montgomery lodge. though a larger amount may be invested. Whether a building will be purchased or one erected has not yet been decided.

Chicago, October 22.-Four of the five

Seventeen time checks were not return
ed to the superintendent during the
day, but five Of the men holding checks
were seen near the ruins. A switchman
declares that he saw four men slide
down a water pipe, and it is known that
one man jumped into the river and
made his escape. This diminishes the
death list to twelve, granting that all
the holders of the missing checkes were
killed with the exception Of men who
have been seen today. 4
The total loss was S4O0, 600, fully insur-

The fact that there was but one fire

several city officials to order an investi-

More PickpOcket Victims.

The list of those who suffered at he
hands Of p~ickpockets Saturday grows
larger. It is certain that several
strangers who left town on the early
trains Saturday had their pockets
picked. Mr.. 7. E. Ray, of this city,
who with his wife, was returning
from the circus had his purse contain
ing s25-all the none he had-taken
from his pocket.
Mr.. John T. White, superintendent
of the spinning room at the Bingham
mills and Mr.. Broom, another employe
Of the mill, were attacked by several
strangers as they were watching the
loading of the circus train Saturday
night, and Mr.. Whites watch and
money-s15-were aken, while Mr..
Broom also lost his pochetbook. con-
tanning So or $15 Both men were
badly bruised and Mr.. Broom was
kicked in the face. 1t is supposed
that the assailants were part of the
pickpocket gang, and left with the
circus.

A WOman's Suicide With a Razor.

A special to the Charlotte Observer
D.. A. Switzer. wife of a prominent
planter, killed herself Sunday morning
at her home near Roebusk, this coun-
ty, by Severing an artery in her LETT
leg. On the morning of the deed the
woman seemed in good spirits and had
dressed two of her children n sent
them to Sunday school. Mr.. Switzer
was taking a morning a n was
awakened by his wife coming into the

of it at the time. doubtless believing
her about household duties. Mrs.
Switzer went to the bureau drawer and
unnoticed took her husbands razor
therefrom and left a note addressed to
her husband. which was found after
wards. Mr.. Switzer missed his wife
and search was made fer her. When
the note was found. the terrible truth
thrust itself upon him and the seach-
ers grew desperate IN their efforts.
About noon her lifelsss body was
found in an clubhouse near by. The
text of the note addressed to to her
husband throws no light upon a rea-
sonable cause for the rash act. The
note is as fallows:
Life is a failure to me. Take my
children, Dave, and do the hest you
IAN for them. I will tax my life to-
day"
Mrs. Switzer was before her mar
rage Miss Ola Lambrlght. and a
member of one of the prominent fam
