GAYETY KILLED
MABEL bOUTON
LIFE OF THE YOUNG STAGE FA-
VORITE BLiGHTED.
MOTHER-L0VE REMAINED
Sad Ending of Career That Might
Have Been Long and Happy but for
False Friends-Hll Ends in New
York Hospital-Tried to Take Her
Own Life.

Mabel Bouton, stage favorite and
beauty, is dead n New York at the age
of twenty-four.
When life should have been only
opening to her in the fullest sense of
its meaning, this little actress had ex-
hausted its wholesome Joys and most
of its forbidden fruit. The pace that
kills in her case was swift in its work.
Success rightly used is strong factor
in the sum of happiness. Abused, its
power is as great in an opposite direc-
ton. From the time when, scarcely
sixteen years old, she made her debut
on the stage in Little Christopher by
means of a graceful dance, her popu-
larity was assured. 1t takes a strong
head, coupled with extreme youth, to
remain we'll poised in the midst OF
stage adulation. Artificial lights,
flowers, jewels and the cheering cup
make a combination that proves a
subtle poison if persistently imbibed.
Mabel Bouton is only one of numer-
Gus examples of the human moths
who are found in New York. Many
fly from the fascinating candlelight
with singed wings and marred beauty.
Others, like the dainty Bouton girl,
find no escape. From childhood the
stage glitter beckoned to her in her
far-off home, Reno, New. 1t proved
too strong to resist after Madeline and
Cloy, elder sisters, chose theatrical
careers. So long as her sisters re-
manned in New York little Mabel felt
their restraining influence in her life.
But after Madeline married Baron
Guido Nemptsch ana went abroad.
caused her to go away also. then the
baby sisters feet began to trip faster
over the fiowery path that leads to de-
struction. There are always number
less hands ready to pull willing vic
tim downward, few to lift upward
when she seeks 10 arise.
Mabel Bouton learned the truth of
this fact too late. The roses of life
withered quickly in her grasp leav
ing only thorns, that pierced cruelty
as she vainly frightened her hold to re.
tain their beauty and fragrance.
In proportion to her success was her
downfall-its swiftness as great. How
keen was her realization of the awful
change in her world was manifested
when one day she tried to end it all by
suicide. Fate was not long in assist
ing her to win her desire. About two
i years ago her health gave way. Con
sumption claimed her as a victim d
| few days ago in Flower hospital
Mother-love remained faithful to the
end with her, even though much OF
another kind that had seemed genuine
to her young eyes had failed.

1t Was an Attraction We'll
Worth Seeing.

Sells & Downs big combined circuses
proved a drawing card for Chillicothe.
They brought the biggest crowd to
this city that has been here in years.
They saw brilliant spectacle in the
street parade, and a tent performance
that was surprising in it's merits and
which possessed many uniquely ex-
cellent features.
The Sells & Downs Show is run on
business principles, and does not dis
appoint the people. Within few min
utes after 1870 the parade made it's
appearance, and there was rush for
points of vantage to get good view OF
the riders, the bands, the clowns and
the animals. The parade was all tn at
could have been expected and drew
forth many eXclamatiOns OF interest,
amusement and admiration.
Several good bands made the air
melOdious. CLEANING special attention
were dozen lady riders, very hand
somely costumed in white satin and
bloomers, ands sIriding astride. Carrie
Nation with her hatchet brought forth
peals of merriment and shouts OF
"You, Carrie!' from the crawd. The
great bovalapus, the big, savage white
horned animal from the Philippines,
the.tirst ever seen in this country, was
viewed in wonder. On his back was
his keeper, big Filipino. The lions,
leopards, camels and Queen, the big
elephant, all came in for their share OF
interest. The wagons were all in good
condition and the parade was an index
to the shows prosperity. Constitution

KILLED BY THE CARS
GustaVe Busse Horribly MaDgled
by an East Bound Passen-
ger Train.

Shortly after the midnight
passenger going east came
through Saturday night word
was brought to Nightwatchman
Dore that the mangled body Of a
man was lying on the track about
a mile west of town. Mr.. Dore
summoned Coroner Kriesel and
started for the scene of the
accident, but before they arrived
the west bound train passed
them. When they reached the
place, it was discovered that
both trains had passed over the
body, which was horribly cut up,
the head and body being crushed
beyondrecognition. The remains
were brought in and placed in
the undertaking establishment
of E. Emanuel, where from the
clothing and other marks the
body was identified as that of
Gustave Busse. The unfortunate
man had been in town celebrat-
ing the fourth, and it is surmised
had started for his brother-in-
laws home on the farm a short
distance west of town and had
taken the railroad track for his
journey. The man had been
drinking during the day, and
although it is said he was not
seemingly unable to care for
himself when last seen in town,
it is supposed he either went to
sleep on the track or was SO
intoxicated that he was incap-
able of getting out of the way of
the passing train. The unfor.
tunate man was 36 years of age,
unmarried, and was a brother
in-law of the Redman brothers,
G. R., Edward and and William.
He was born in Manitowoc, Wis,
where his father, mother and
sisters live. One sister, Miss
Vina Anderson, of Minneapolis,
being a visitor at the home of
Ed. Redman at the present time.
He came to this locality about
12 years ago, and has recently
worked as a stone mason with
N. Hoeltgen. He was known as
an indus strious and inoffensive
man, whose worst failing was the
habit which led to his taking off.
The remains of the unfortunate
man were buried Monday after
noon in the Milbank cemetery, a
funeral service being held in
the Evangelical church.

WIND STORM
One of the Worst Storms that
Ever Visited this Section

A terrific wind storm visited
this vicinity yesterday morning
between 5 and 6 o'clock, and
continuing for about Is minutes.
The most serious damage to
buildings in the town was the
breaking in of two plate glass
windows in the northwest corner
of Wood Bros. hardware building,
the glass being broken into
fragments, and some of it carried
quite a distance up the street,
and the blowing down of the
framework of Henry Mitchell's
new house, which had just been.
raised. Many fine shade trees
in various parts of the town
were torn and destroyed by the
wind, and broken trees and
branches were in evidence all
around. Reports from the coun
try tell of number of barns and
buildings blown down. The new
barn of Ed Redman, west of
town, was blown down as was
also granary on the farm Of
Godfrey Stengle, and the new
machine sheds of Henry Cunning
ham. From Alban among others
G. Johnson reports his stable
damaged by the wind and the
barn of Louis and Michael
Schulz and that of Mr.. Auger-
hoefer were also more or less
wrecked, and the new house of
James Black, in Vernon, was
blown down. Reports of hail
came from the country over
toward the state line, but the
full extent Of the damage is not
known. The storm came in the
form of a straight wind, and is
one of the strongest blows that
ever visited this section of the
country.

of years Milbank determined to
observe the national birthday
with a celebration. Accordingly
arrangements were made and
successfully carried out for an
enthusiastic recognition of the
day.
One of the heaviest rains of the
season fell on the day proceed
ing, and the morning opened
with uncertain prospects as to
weather conditions for the day.
In fact the threatening clouds
and condition of the roads did
delay the program of the days
doings, the commencement of
which was postponed from
morning until afternoon. The
clouds gradually drifted off, and
the weather throughout the day
was all that could be desired,

the crowd was probably nearly
as large as any heretofore enter
