SAVED FROM SUICIDE.

c. E. Eddy, well-known Idaho min
er and writer, who has been in Salt
Lake for some time, says the Salt Lake
Tribune, has had an experience here
that he may not be able to repeat.
While here he met a young man, son
of former United States Senator, who
possessed almost every intellectual at
tainment. He was brilliant and had
at one time, published book of verse,
much of which was far above medioc-
rity.
But this young man, printer,
though the master of a craft that
brings high wages, had left the ways
of honor and self-respect, and, after
protracted debauch had purchased
dose of morphine with which to end
his life.
He had shaped his affairs to kill
himself, and went to Eddy with his
manuscripts, and asked him to make
certain disposition of them.
Eddy suspected the intention of the
former Senator's son and after great
deal of urging induced the unfortunate
fellow to tell his story.
The story was the old one of dissipa-
tion, a wrecked home, wandering and
despair. Eddy changed the purpose of
the young man, and secured position
for him in the city, and is now keep
ing him under his eyes.
This man was an intimate friend and
associate of James Whitcomb Riley,
the Hoosier poet, and among the
manuscripts turned over to Eddy by
him was poem, pen picture of his
. own condition at the time of his inten-
tion to kill himself The title of the
poem is ''Alone."

the would-be suicide to be S. w. Egan..

The above heading is the title of
new book received last week at the
MESSENGER office. 1t is written by one
of the well-known Challis ladies-Mrs.
Joseph Rodgers-and published by the
Eastern Publishing Company, of Bos-
ton, Mass. The story is purely fiction,
and the scene is Mississippi. While
@he story verges into love plot, 1t
contains vast amount of valuable in
formation, and shows that the author
is well versed in novel writing, al
though we understand this is the first
book that has ever been published
from her pen. A careful review of
the book shows that the author ranks
we'll among our modern novel writer's
of fiction. The work is beautifully and
substantially bound in cloth and con-
tains 26o pages, printed in clear type
and first-class book paper, and also
contains several fine half-tone illustra
tions. 1t is a book that all should
read, and especially the people of Gus
ter county, as it bespeaks praises fol
our local author. For sale at the MES

has not heard since February Il. has lead
W. l.. Surkey. of San Antonio. Tex. on a
search through all the large cities from

where she had gone to take charge of a
boarding house. Surkey states that when
