Peculiar Death al Horseshoe Bend.

Word was received here Sunday
that Mrs. j. l.. Woods, formerly of
Emmett, had died at Horseshoe Bend
Friday under peculiar circumstances.
Mrs. Woods husband is a barber.
The Woods lived at Boise until about
a year ago, when they moved to EN-
NETT. From there they went to the
Bend.
While preparing dinner Friday
Mrs. Woods, with her one year old
child, went to her room. She re-
manned so long that it attracted the
attention of other members of the
family. Upon investigation they
found the door locked. Mr.. Woods
went outside the house and gained
entrance to the room through a win
dow. Much to his surprise he found
Mrs. Woods cold in death. 1t is said
that Mrs. committed suicide by taking
poison, but this cannot be confirmed.

Difference BETWEEN ENGLISH

English trusts are comparatively
harmless Affairs. and cannot and have
not arbitrarily advanced prices except
In few instances. like that of brass
bedsteads, and then only temporarily.
The difference between trust In a
free-trade country and one In high
tariff country can be illustrated by
the Borax Consolidated, an English
corporation with s16,000.O00 capital.
This is world trust. and the Pacific
Coast Borax Company, OF this country,
Is the greatest OF the twelve companies
In the trust, and probably supplies as
much borax as all Of the other COM
panies combined. This world trust
sells refined borax to-day In this coun-
try at ~ cents and in England at 2H
cents per pound. Much of the borax
sold In England Is borax from the
mines OF California, and Is refined at
Bayonne. N. j.. and exported to Eng

cents per pound, and was raised from
