Victim Dies as Result of Bite.

Philadelphia. Pa. Aug ia new
mosquito has come town. He does
not differ much from his brothers ex-
cept in his sting. Since his arrival,
however, ten men, women and child.
rem have called at the Pennsylvania
hospital for treatment and one man
has died. The sting produces great
pain and the wound swells and in
flames.
The hospital physicians believe that
the bites Of these insects are poison
GUS for the reason that they feed on
the refuse and decayed fruit that is
thrown into the streets. The victim
who died was John Columbus, a mo-
torman Of Gloucester City, N. J. He
was bitten by one of the new mos.

Edna Folla, Hcmesick. Decides On
Fatal Step After Retiring to Her
Room For a Rest.
NOT SATISFIED WITH HER LOT

Despondent and homesick, Edna
Folla. a domestic employed at the
home of Mrs. Gillin below Milton, sui
cided yesterday afternoon by taking
heavy dose of strychnine. The
Young woman retired to her room
about 3 O'Clock in the afternoon after
finishing up a weeks washing. At
five O'Clock a member of the family
called to her but received no answer.
The door being locked, ladder was
secured and entry made through the
window. when it was discovered the
girl was dead. She had lain on the
bed without removing her clothes.
Strychnine was found upon her
body and a bottle of the drug was
found in her trunk. An inquest is to
be held by Coroner Cole of Umatilla
county this afternoon.
There being no other explanation
of the rash act forthcoming the cause
is attributed to dependency. It was
not known that she had any troubles
while it seems to be the opinion that
she was at times discouraged at her
lot in life. Herr parents reside in
Utah and it is not known that she
has any relations nearer
Miss Folla had been in the employ
of the Gillins for two years.

ON FAIR BUILDINGS
Work Will Be Commenced
Soon-=-Lumher Here.
THE MANAGEMENT ENCOURAGED
Business Men Yesterday Subscribed
GoodIy Sum For Space Fair Will
Be Big Success" Says Secretary
Van De Water.

With all the lumber on the ground
with the exception of a few heavy
framing timbers, work on the mann
moth building which will harbor Wal
la Walla's fruit fair again this year
will be commenced in a few days,
Work in a small way was started on
the site yesterday, small building
for the storing of grass and grain dec
oratiOns being put up. The site for
the main building was also surveyed
and cleared for the foundations.
The site for holding the fair this
year has been greatly enlarged
through the generous spirit displayed
by property owners in donating the
use of land in the vicinity. George
Welch, who owns residence property
adjoining the Betz tract. has rendered
the use of large plot of his prop
erty and arrangements have been
made for the use of the Bartmess lot.
This will give ample space without
encroaching on other private prop
erty in the vicinity.
Yesterday afternoon was the first
opportunity that Secretary Van De
Water has had to interview merchants
and business men, but within very
few minutes an amount exceeding
$500 was pledged for space
From the encouragement the man
agement received yesterday it is very
olJ
asJic spirit toward a fruit fair is
still prevalent" the secretary said
this morning. while it has been i'm
possible to make a thorough canvass
of the business district the spirit dis
played by merchants interviewed is
indeed gratifying and points to the
success of the fair again this year.
