A BUILDING SEASON
ATHENA WILL FORGE AHEAD
OF PREVIOUS RECORDS.
This Year Will Add to Her Reputa-
tion as Growing
City.


The building season is ON and this
year Athena will undoubtedly surpass
any previous record she has made in a
single year in number of new buildings
and total cost of construction.
Last year she did remarkably well,
but from indications viii far surpass
herself this year.
With the new Methodist church as a
starter in new buildings and the COM
pletion of the new $4,000 Christian
church, Athena begins this years
building era with high class buildings,
the two aggregatipg cost Of from $17,
600 to $4,000. N. A. Miller's new
brick business house, work on which
will commence in short time, will be
first-class in every respect and credit
to Main street.
Thomas Turhune is constructing a
commodious residence on the West
Side, and in the same neighborhood j.
w. Adams is building a fine new home.
Others are to follow, and Athena, while
having no "boom'' on, van be found
leading the van at the end VI the year,
Watch her.

BASE BALL TEAMS
FOR THE INLAND EMPIRE
walla Walla And PendletOn Os-
burns Pipe Dream.

Robert Burns of the o. II. & N, and
a Walla Walla citizen have received the
franchise of the Walla Walla team from
the old management, leased the grounds
and are getting a team together for the
seasons sport.
"Doc" Osburn, the indomitable man
ager Of last years Yellow Kids has a
"warble" in his back that nothing save
first class team in Athena can extricate.
"Doc" has visions OF s 800 in golden
twenties already in the base ball pot,
and to the Press man handed the pre-
diction that $500 more could be raised
necessarily, to secure men for fast
team to carry the Yellow Kid banner.
The warble bored in little deeper,
"Doc' SHE'D over to rub his back on
the edge Of the counter, saying:
t'Swindells would make good catcher,
Saunders, Fleming and Willard with
farmed out pitchers from the Northwest
league could take care OF the slaDi
Shea picks up ball well, has good
wing and could play deep short; Car
tano on first, Roll Brown on second and
Black at third would make an infield
that nothing could crawl through; for
the outfeld, what's the matter with Kid
Williams, Babe Brown and Dave
Edwards and as for brad hitters, there
would be nothing to it.7 Then Doe
scratched his back again.
Whether or no PendIeton vii! wake
up in time to have team this season Is
yet unknown. The pace set for her BY
Athena last year was hot one, cost hei
mint Of money, and may have thrown
4 damper on her aspirations.

MUTUALLY PROTECT
GR0CERYMEN TO LOOK AFTER
INTERESTS OF TRADE.
Country Solicitor Hot on Trail OF
Travelling Vendors For
Foreign Houses.

Yesterday the grocerymen of Athena,
Weston, Adams and Helix, met in Re-
corder Chamberlains' Office in this city
and formed an association for mutual
protection from travelling vendors for
foreign grocery houses firms who pay
not acent Of taxes, or in any man
ner contribute to the good or advance
ment Of the community.
AT the meeting the firms represented
were: Richardson Bros. of Adams and
Helix; Sim Gully, Frank Blair and
John Cummings, of Weston; Athena
Mercantile Co., Gross & Worthington
and M. j. Bagley, of Athena. 1t was
decided to place a solicitor in the field
to trail up men now in this vicinity in
the interests Of certain Kansas City
house, and make it known that groceries
and provisions can be purchased as
cheaply, quality of goods considered in
Athena, Weston, Adams or Helix as can
be supplied by a Kansas City concErn,
no matter what argument may be hd-
vanced by its representative. Mr.. Fred
Rosenzweig was selected to repreeent
the local grocerymen as solicitor, ami at
once entered upon his duties.
The PREss ventures the assertion that
when people become thoroughly ac-
| quainted with the facts they will give
the home dealer the preference. This
paper cannot believe they will do other
wise than patronize the home merchant
when it has once been practically dem
onstrated that superior grades OF goods
are offered. The further matter Of con-
veniencein returning goods il not found
/ as represented should be balance ID
! favor Of the local dealer, to say nothing
!; of his position to grant you credit when
you are in need Of it.
Mr.. Helm, the high chief mogul Of the
Kansas City outfit, arrived in the city
the first of the week and lost no time in
advancing the information (gratis) that
he was there again. and that the Press
could give him another advertisement
referring to an article in this paper
some months ago. Mr.. Helm may take
this as an advertisement, should he feel
disposed to do SO, but its not bad bet
that the association will have his nibs
on the "hike" before they get through
with him.

MYSTERIOUS TRAGEDY REVEALED
Bodies OF Man, Wife and Child Found
at Home in cincinnati-0dor cs
Gas Leads to Discovery.

Gas Leads to Discovery.
Cincinnati. March 2S.-The bodies
of A M. Betty. local representative
of the Washburn-Crosby mills of Min
neapolis, his wife and their son. 20
months old, were found at their home
on Gilbert avenue A note gsitten by
Betty was found, in which be accused
his wife with killing the babe, and the
police think the woman may have
killed herself and the child on ac-
count of domestic troubles. IT is
stated that divorce proceedings had
been instituted and were withdrawn
before the birth of the child two years
ago. AS Betty was known to have
been playing cards near his home as
late as Saturday midnight, it is
thought that he found the dead bodies
on his return home and then dehber-
ately took his own life. The body of
the child was found in a basin with
no marks on it. It is thought that
Betty took it from the crib and tried
to revive it by turning on the water
When he found it dead he lay down
beside his wife,s dead body to die
from asphyxiation, and in that posi-
ton their bodies were found The
odor of the gas led to the search
which disclosed the three dead bodies
There is nothing to indicate how any
of the family came to their death ex
cept the line left by Betty and the
fact that the gas was turned on,
There is evidence that Mrs Betty
was dead some hours before her hus-
band came home and that the babe
possibly may have died after he re-
turned.
While there are indefinite reports
about Betty's troubles at home, he
was prominent in business circles.
He came originally from Memphis
and formerly was with omnibus trans.
fer companies at Chattanooga and St
Louis.
