LOCAL AND

The sensation of the week in Sc
attic social circles was the sudden dis
appearance of Miss Roxy White and
H. D. Upper, whom, it is very gener-
ally supposed, were drowned in Lake
Washington last Sunday. Many con-
vincing circumstances have been dis
covered indicating that the couple
were drowned in the lake, and yet
there is a breath of suspicion to the
effect that Miss White was foully dealt
with by her companion and in order
to cover up his crime she was drowned
and he is now a probable fugitive from
justice Another theory is prevalent
that the two eloped, but they would
have no excuse for this, as the mother
of the young lady seemed perfectly
willing for her daughter to not only
keep company with Mr.. Upper, but
likewise marry him if she so desired.

to order the necessary appropriations
for the canal, but he is working
against odds for the reason that the
Washington Waterway Company is
working at cross purposes with the
government canal proposition. The
proposed canal on the part of the
Washington Waterway Company is
said to be impractical, and though
they are offering the government the
canal free, if the government will only

considered only an advertising dodge
