GIRL DRANK cARBoLIc ACID.
Jennie Seopirfte Was Angered
When Mother Scolded Her.

A scolding by her mother because she
persisted in working at q cloak factory
against the wishes of her parent caused
Jennie Scopilite. a pretty italian girl, IA
years old. to drink carbolic acid yesterday
afternoon in an attempt to commit suicide.
Tightly clutched in her hand was a news
paper clipping. telling of the attempt of
Maggie Gavner to end her life With ear
holic acid in Forest Park last Monday
night.
Jennie'S attempt was made in a hallway
at No. 4555 Delmar boulevard. After the
reprimand from her mother she left home
and purchased five cents worth Of carbolic
hood where she lives.
With the poison in her pocket she walked
west looking as she says, for place
where she might take 1t unobserved. No.
suitable place was found until she had
wandered past Taylor avenue Turning into
the hallway at No. ASS Delmar avenue she
drank half of a two-ounce bottle of the
crude acid
The acid burned her lips and throat and
her screams attracted the attention of Mrs.
Ida Martin of No. 1853 Delmar avenue. She
ran to the girl, and through her paroxysms
of pain Jennie told Mrs. Martin what she
had done.
The girl was taken to the office of Doctor
Roland Smith. near by. and the stomach
pump was used. She shortly afterwards
revived an6 was sent to the City Hospital.
All the poison was removed and she will
recover.
I got mad at mamma" she said. with
flash of her dark eyes. land decided I'd
kill myself And then mamma said she was
going to kill me. SO decided II there was
any killing to be done I'd do 1t myself.
81 don't know whether she meant what
she said. but decided wouldn't take any
chances.
I'm glad now didn't succeed in killing
myself. but l was mad at mamma and
didn't want to live. She wants me to stay
at home and want to work in the factory,
and that's what all our trouble Is about

FIERCE GALE BLEW WIRES
DOWN IN EDWARDSVILLE.

Driven by fierce gale. a heavy rain
storm swept across the central portion Of
Madison County yesterday afternoon and
wrought much damage. The gale was heavi-
vier even than the Culinary equinoctial
storms. 1t swept from east to west, an
unusual feature. and leyeled the growing
corn, as well orchards and many forest
and shade trees.
In Edwardsville signs were blown down.
windows and greenhouses pressed in and
many teams rendered unmanageable from
fright.
The fall of water was the heaviest in the
brief time OF any precipitation this year.
Many trees were blown down across tho
electric light and power wires, swapping
them. so that as a measure Of public safety
the central plant had to close down. This
stopped all lines Of business where electric
motors were employed.

May Eldridge, both of Pierre, were
married recently at the Catholic
church in that city, in the presence Of
large number of friends whose best
wishes are heartily extended to this
worthy young couple.
DR.. Ruble, assisted by Dr.. Clark,
performed difficult operation at the
Benedictine hospital, Pierre, few
days ago on Michael Biever, remov-
ing stone from the PROSTATE gland,
which weighed two ounces, and meas
ured four and three fourth inches by
five and one-fourth inches in circum-
ference. While the operation left the
patient in Il critical condition, the
chances favor his recovery. The Local
ton of stone in this gland is some
thing before unknown to medical
science. In December 1901, Biever
went to Chicago, where he was given
an N-ray examination. and the stone
located, but he refused to allow an
operation to be performed at the time,
and carried it to this time, when an
operation became imperative, and
was performed at once by home
physicians.
Miss Hattie Babcocll was united in
marriage OH the 10 inst. to Matthew
Shomer. The ceremony was per-
formed ut the Catholic church in
Pierre by Rev. Father O'Neil and was
attended by relatives and friends of
the young couple. Both bride and
groom have grown up in this vicinity
and have the best wishes of many
friends.
