TRIED TO DIE.
Elnora Owens Attempts to Gross
the Dark River.

Last Sunday afternoon Elnora
Owens, a colored girl, attempted
self-destruction via the laudanum
route. In fact she tried to "take a
sleeper out of town" DR.. Jones was
called in, however, and pumped the
young woman's stomach out. Just
what she wanted to die for is not
apparent, but she made 3 desperate
attempt and the fact that she took
too much of the drug and medical
aid arrived is all that keeps her on
this mundane sphere now.
We understand che says she will
try 1t again, but we don't believe
she will.

oLEO BILL is PASSED.
Measure, Without the House Amend
Inents, Put through Senate.

Measure, Without the House Amend
nents, Put Through Senate.
BY the close vote of 81 to 80 a motion
to recommit the oeomargarine bill was
defeated in the Senate. The bill was
then passed without the House amend
ments, substantially in the form of the
Grout bill, by vote of 80 to 81. The
Mooney or minority bill was defeated,
80 to 20. The bill win now 90 back to
the House and probably into conference.
There may be some delay in reaching
an agreement, but the impression pre-
walls that it will become law substan-
TALLY in the form it passed the Senate.
Itproyides that oleomargarine and kim
bred products shall be subject to all laws
and regulations of any State or Terri
tory or the District of Columbia, into
which they ara transported. whether in
original packages or otherwise; that any
person who sells oleomargarine and fur
nishes it for the uses of others, except to
his own family, who shall mix with it any
artificial coloration that causes it to look
like butter shall be held to be manutac-
turer, and shall be subject to the tax
provided by existing law; that upon oleO-
margarine colored so as to resemble but
ter, tax of 10 cents a pound shall be
levied but upon oleomargarine not coli
ored the tax shall be one-fourth of 1 cent
per pound; that upon adulterated butter
a tax of 10 cents a pound shall be lew
led: and upon all process or renovated
butter the tax shall be one-fourth of 1
cent per pound.
The manufacturers of process or of
renovated butter OF of adulterated but
ter shall pay IN annual tax of 5000, the
wholesale dealers shall pay tax of $3.50.
and the retail dealers tax of SIS per
annum. The measure provides regula-
tions for the collection of the tax and
prescribes minutely how the various prod
ucts are to be prepared for market.
Among the speakers were Senators
Foraker, Penrose and Spooner, in sup
port of the measure. and Senators
Money, Vest, Scott, Kean. Carmack and
Eawlins, in opposition. During the de-
bate Mr.. Kean laid before the Senate a
sample of olcomargarine and Senator
Frye said the sample would be laid on the
table. The discussion was largely in
the nature of reinforcement of argu
ments previously advanced.
