Notes by the Way.

Gambling and anti-gambling is like
ly to occupy considerable attention
from the legislators before the session
is ended. One proposal is to attach a
local option feature to the present law
on this subject. while the gamblers
want a high license measure. II is
scarcely probable that their influence
will be stronger this year than two
years ago when they failed to secure
a measure to their satisfaction.
Yards Of petitions are being receiv-
ed for law closing saloons on Sun
days, and, though it is doubtful wheth.
er such bill will be enacted the pres.
sure is great and considerable sup
port has already developed.
The coming week both houses will
begin to listen to testimony in the
contests before it. That from Broad.
water county will be soon disposed of
and the sitting senator permitted to
remain. In the Rosebud case the un.
seating of Hopkins, while not probable
may be brought about, 1t being recog.
nized that the frauds committed call
for some action.
The Heinze members from Silver
Bow do not appear perturbed and there
are few who think the decision OF
either house will go against them.
Several county division schemes
have developed, that to divide Cho
teau county into three parts being the
most prominent, but the sentiment is
against any change in county lines al
this session.
The state game warden has submit
ted a lengthy and interesting repor,

which he has acted for two years. He

The total area of the state divided by
his present force of eight, gives each
deputy 1906 square miles-too large
district to be effectually covered by
any man. Some of the deputies have
reported that nearly all of their salary
of 800 per month has been expended
in travelling expenses and Game War
den Scott thinks this should be rem
edied.
A bill fixing a penalty of S. per day
to take up and work stray horses has

ing to the conviction of any one guilty
of fraud in this connection.

Encouraging Prospects Of the Montana
Wool Growers-A Few Reasons.

W0Ol CIV FCdbOUts
1t is being freely predicted by con-
seryatiye woolgrowers tnat wool will
be a better price next year than It
was in 1902. which was very salts
factory year from a financial stand
point. The thing which furnishes a
basis for the belief is the shortage in
the wool on hand which amounts to
4i,24S,1iO pounds. There is very lit
tie wool in consignment, the good
prices which prevailed last season
causing most OF the growers to sell
their clips outright to eastern buyers.
The industry in Montana particularly.
has a most encouraging future. Thus

Mrs. Georgia lauriston
Ad mits That Jenkins
Woman Was In Her
House.
Says Morphine Habit
Caused Her Death -
Prosecutor Day Is In.
= vestigating.

That the death of Louisa Jenkins,
the Massillon girl who it is alleged
was poisoned in the re-
sort of Mrs. Georgia Lauriston. 239
South Walnut street, Monday night
was caused by morphine poisoning is
the verdict of Coroner Schiltz, assisted
by Drs. Harry March and b. F. Find
ley, of Massillon, in Heigard's under
taking rooms at that place Tuesday
evening. The stomach was removed
and brought to Canton and will be
sent away for chemical examination.
According to the statement of Coroner
Schiltz Wednesday death was undoubt-
edly caused by morphine poisoning.
The manner in which the woman died
leads to this conclusion. Prosecutor
Day will investigate this.
MRS. LAURISTON'S STATEMENT.
Mrs. Lauriston, at whose home the
woman was taken sick and whom 1t is
claimed led the girl upstairs for un-
known purposes, admitted to a News
Democrat reporter wednesday that
the jenkins girl had been upstairs at
her home while the rest of her party
were downstairs. She said that the
woman wanted to go upstairs to comb
her hair and that she went with her.
While upstairs, according to her story.
the Jenkins woman told her tale Of
woe and showed her arm, marked with
numerouS scars of hypodermic injec-
tions Mrs. Lauriston claimed that she
could tell from the condition of the
woman's arm that she had taken an
injection of morphine not 10 hours be-
fore. She said that Miss Jenkins. was
a morphine fiend.
SAYS SHE WASN'T "DOPED."
Mrs. Lauriston stated that the dead
woman had drunk beer and Whiskey
while in her place but denied that it
had been "doped." The companions
of the girl claim that she did not
drink any whiskey. They assert posi-
lively that Miss Jenkins was not a
morphine fiend and did not use the
drug at any time. This statement is
borne out by the friends of the dead
woman in Massillon.
Just what steps will be taken In the
case will depend on the action of Pros
ecutor Day. 1t will be several days
before the verdict of the coroner is Of
licially made public. He desires to
hear the result of the examination Of
the stomach of the dead woman before
announcing his verdict. He says that
there were no marks of hypodermic
injections on the arms of the girl
and that If morphine were taken or
given it would have been through her
mouth.

Local physician Believes the Plan Is
Feasible MANY Good Towns on
Proposed Lire.
STEUBEyVILLE OTHER TERMINUS.

The publication in the News-Demo-
crat of the scheme to build an electric
ear line from Canton south to Steu-
benville on the. Ohio river, has ex-
cited considerable comment in this
city and along the route Of the pro-
posed road. Dr. T. 8. Culp. of 322
West Eighth street, stated Friday that
this project was not new one. at
least SO far as the line from Steuben7
vile to Carrollton via. Richmond is
concerned. Some years ago, when he
was living at Richmond, a company
was organized and the right of way
secured from Richmond to Steuben
vile parallel with the state road lead
ing from the latter city to Canton.
When the project was first started
1t was before the experiment Of inter-
urban lines had been demonstrated to
be profitable. DR.. Culp stated that
such road would open up territory
which is not touched by steam rail-
roads and would undoubtedly be one
of the best paying electric ventures in
the state. Before any cross country
electric roads had been built in Ohio
promoters had figured on the road as
being a great possibility, because
there would he number of towns
reached that have no other outlet ex-
cept by stage or carriage.
Between Carrollton and Steuben-
vile are the towns of Richmond, the
seat of Richmond college, Springfield,
Amsterdam and Harlem Springs. The
route has been surveyed and found
practical for even steam line, this
having been demonstrated by Survey
or r. II. Lee. who has property in
terests near Harlem. and who has
tried to interest capitalists in the
scheme to build a steam railway.
The route from Canton to the river
Is almost an air line and would be
about 60 miles long. The only devia-
ton from the direct route would be
made in order to reach Minerva, which
would add less than two miles. With
the exception of the ridge of hills near
Minerva there would hardly be an OBJ
stacle in the way of an easy grade
aside from the six miles between Car
rollton and Harlem Springs. !,
Two years ago a party of Canton
capitalists tried to buy the hotel and
college property at Harlem. embrac-
ing the springs, but the project fell
through. 1t is claimed that II an elec-
trio line were built, Harlem would be-
come one of the most famous health
resorts in the country.
At present the project is in form
ative state. The people along the
route from Carrollton south are said
to be so anxious for the road that free
right of way can be secured parallel
ing the old state road, which has been
graded and piked possibility half the
distance. The Canton people who are
back of the movement do not care to
talk for publication at present. but
may be ready later on to give out in
formation.
