Since it is an established fact
that Kennewick will become a
college town, the citizens should
take proper steps to make it one
in the true sense of the word.
They can accomplish this
best by beginning to beautify
their properties, setting out
trees, shrubbery and flowers,
and preparing and sowing lawns
giving the place and attractive
appearance. Steps should be
taken to incorporate the town
so that a body of men chosen
by the people can be vested
with full authority to act, and
carry out needed improve
ments that becomes necessary
for the common good. All
should work together, pull to-
gether and bend every energy
to attain the common goal which
is to make the town pleasant
and attractive. This will not

two hours previously, had been led to
the altar.
1t was not known that Alice Mazyck
was in love with her cousin until the
last few days, when her strange ac.
tions caused it to be suspected. She
said she was too i'll to attend the

to be held at the home of the groom's
parents, with whom she lived
During tlso reception, she rushed into
the room in her night clothes. ak in

zyck, cried:
"You have taken Will from me, but
you shall never live with him!'
She accompanied her words with
the blow, and the young woman fell
into the arms of her husband uncon,
scious. In the great excitement that
ensued, Alice Mazyck escaped. 1t is
believed that she is demented, and is
wandering in the swamps, but all eff.
forts to find her have been fruitless.
Mrs. Mazyck is in the hospital, and
has small chance of recovery.
