Suicide at Gas City

Mrs. w. II. Heldreth died at her
home in Gas City last Saturday from
the effects of dose of laudanum
taken, it is supposed with suicidal in
tent, about 10 o'clock that day.
She was forty-four years old and
was married to her present husband
about eight years ago. They lived at
Pittsburg, Kansas, and later moved to
Gas City, he being smelterman.
They have no children and their do
nestle life has proven unpleasant
About ten days ago the husband sued
for divorce and a division of their
property amounting to about 81, $50.
Mrs. Heldreth did not like this and
the suit only made matters between
them worse.
The climax of their domestic
troubles came Friday and that
evening she took laudanum, IL was
not known for some time what was the
matter and when a doctor was sum-
moned the unfortunate woman was
beyond help.

building Cement Houses.

The increased output of cement in
America has led to the development
of many new uses for that wonderful
article. Among them is the building
of cement houses, which may some
day be tried in lola.
The Akron (Ohio) Democrat tells of
such a house built there by local
architect for himself IT says; 1.-The
process illustrates one of the advo-
Gates made in modern building con-
struction. There is very little wood
to be seen from the exterior, save that
which is used to lend an artistic effect
to the structure. Instead of stufiing
the walls with wool or plaster combin-
alton, over the first layer of laths is
a layer of cementine, mixture Of ce-
ment and fine gravel. This layer is
allowed to become firm. when another
layer of laths is puton and then anoth-
er layer of cementine until the build
ing is completed. The effect of the
combination both from an artistic and
a practical point of view is excellent.
The houses are generally built in the
colonial style and when the shingles
are stained to harmonious tint they
are beautiful The house will cost
about So, 500"

Electric Power Wanted.

Some time ago the city council re-
fused to grant Mr.. Crouch a franchise
for electricmotors, incandescent lights
etc, because he objected to pay
ing so large a per cent OF his net earn
ings into the city treasury. Last week
the city laid II new application from
him on the table. The city cannot fur
nish these things from its present plant,
there is no indication that the electric
plant will be enlarged soon, so the
matter seems to be tied up. At this
point it is interesting to learn that
some sort of proposition has been
made by the cement company and it is
certainly to be hoped that competition
will be strong enough to get good
terms for the city and that somebody
will be empowered to furnish the city
with lights and motor power if the city
is not going to,

Prospects Begin to Brighten.

sas City division
1t has always been conceded that
the Ft Scott, lola Il Western railroad
is to be, or already is, the property of
the NJ. X. * r. railroad. The build.
ing of the road and the assistance
which the Katy has rendered to the
promoters of the road to get it built
indicate that the Katy is deeply inter.
ested in the few miles of track vest
from here, and from the first it has
appeared that the Katy was to own
the road. Considering the way the
new road is built it could not very
we'll belong to any other system.
Now another strong point has been
added to convince Moranites that
something is to happen soon. Just
south of the junction is mile post
bearing the number "9j" which marks
the ninety-fve mile from Kansas City.
Last Friday the Katy surveyors ar
rived here and, commencing at the
Katy depot, began measuring the new
track west. The first mile post was
marked 96 and the next 81 and so on
west to where the new road switches
onto the Missouri Pacific.
This movement seems conclusive
that the Katy owns the road and in
tends to install some kind of service
over 1t soon, IT is stated by trainmen
on reliable authority that the passen-
ger trains now running between Par
sons and Kansas City will go by the
way of Piqua and another service be
put on between here and Coileyville.
The construction work on the new
road will be finished this week and it
is stated that service will begin over
the road in a few weeks under the
supervision of The Katy.

they can always be depended upon.

Keep Peace.
NO M0Ul0ERS STRIKE.

Pawtucket. II. l., June 13.-The first
street car from Providence proceeded
through this city at 10: 80. 1t was with
out guards. While there was no very
serious demonstration. five arrests
were made by soldiers who lined the
streets. Some stones were thrown and
the driver and conductor were hissed,
but these outbursts were quelled by
soldiers before they assumed serious
proportions. A strong feeling exists
against the deputy sheriffs who dis
charged the firearms during the strike.
The feeling toward the militia is more
friendly. Mayor Fitzgerald, who re-
turned last night from a wedding jour
ney, called on the governor today to
request the withdrawal of the military.
The mayor considers the presence of
the soldiers as contributing to the dis
turbances. He says he will guarantee
protection to the cars.

IRRIGATION BILL.
Passed the House by a Vote of 144
to SIS.

to 55.
Washington. June 13.-The house to-
day resumed consideration of the irri.
cation bill. The general debate hav-
ing closed yesterday, the bill was read
for amendment, under the five-minute
rule.
Mr.. Grosvenor, of Ohio, offered a sub
stitute for the proviso of the first Sec
tion providing no part of the proceeds
of sale of public lands under the act Of
August /, 1000, for the endowment OF
colleges of agriculture and mechanic
arts, should be set apart or diverted to
the irrigation fund. The proviso for
which the substitute was offered pro-
vided in case of a deficiency from the
sale of public lands for college pur-
poses under the act of lSyv, such de-
ficiepcy should be paid out of the treas
ury. Mr. GrosvenOr, speaking to this
amendment. opposed the whole bill
He declared ii would make railroad
grants ten times as valuable as at pres
ent and so change conditions as to ma
terially affect the present farm land
values. He cited the case of growing
sugar Ueets. All evidence, he said, was
that sugar from beets could be pro-
duced a cent a pound cheaper in an ir-

east and he stated that with extensive
competition in the west, beet sugar
growing could not be profitable east OF
the Mississippi river. Mr. Burkett, OF
Nebraska, followed with a vigorous
speech in support of the bill. If the
millions spent to prevent the overflow
of the lower Mississippi, he said, had
been devoted to storing water at its
hoadwaters. the danger from floods
would have disappeared below and the
arid country above the headwaters
would be blooming like a rose.
Mr.. Robinson, of Indiana, In oppOs-
ing the bill, challenged the advocates
of the measure to prove If its principal
promoters are not the big railroads Of
the west. Mr.. Newlands, OF Nevada.
charged the GrOsvenor amendment
was an attempt to defeat the whole
measure. He declared the agricultural
colleges had been consulted in the
prepaIa alton of the bill and are satisfied
with il. These colleges are amply pro-
tected. Mr.. Cannon, of Illinois. an

The cherry Tree Home for unfor-

ony at a cost of 2UON. is now in eX-
cellent running order and at present
cares for over forty children. The
family will be increased to siXty-five
by the end of this summer. Orphaned
and half-Orphaned, children from the
crowded tenement districts of our great
cities have the preference for admis,
sion from among the applications
which come in, largely through Army
officers, from all over the country The
change from crowded city slum life to
the open, glorious prairie is highly ben
efiCial. The older boys-lO to a years
of age-sOme of whom were rather un-
promising upon their arrival are al
ready inspired with a tremendous am
hilton to do something big; happy in
the cCnceit that they are helping to
build up the country. And who shall
say that they are not?
Sixty acres of land is attached to the
Home this season, and a grant of forty
additional acres will undoubtedly be
made from the colony lands to begin
next years work. The entire family is
enthused at the prospect of self-sUp-
port from the soil. Fully 700 trees and
shrubs are doing finely or the place
