acre tract where he lived, one block east
of the power house, and also other prop

few months ago from Roslyn. He was

with j. p. Mayer, and it was thought
was doing well. Recent disappointing
ventures and the threatened loss of
money invested had worried him. how
ever, until it is thought his mind be-
came unsettled. For several days he
had been gloomy, and it is stated that
few days ago he asked his wife if she
would be willing to shoot MIN with the
revolver with which he finally ended his
existence. The extent of his melancholy
was not appreciated, and the deed was

tanned Il sediment of some other ngred-

TOOK HIS OWN LIFE
WHILE DESPONDENT
John Pope, Real Estate Man, Shot Him
self Last Sunday Morning-Worried
Over Business Troubles.

Not more than minute after he had
left her, apparently in the best of spir-
its. and with thoughts of self dcstruc-
ton farthest from his mind. Mrs Pope.
wife of John Pope. rushed into tae bed
room of their pretty little cottage home
on the Naches road Sunday morning at
IL o'clock upon hearing a pistol shot, to
find the body of her husband lying upon
the floor where he had fallen after
shooting himself through the head He
never regained consciousness, but con
tinued to breathe for nearly three hours.
DR.. Frank was hastily summoned, but
saw at a glance that the man was be
yond human help. Deputy Sheriff W. \.
Cox also responded to the call and after
the passing of the unfortunate mans
spirit, decided with the coroner that as
it was clearly case of suicide, doubt
less premeditated for several days, m
inquest was wholly unnecessary.
Pope mad shot himself while standing
side the bed. The weapon used was a
3Scaliber self-acting revolver. and those
first upon the scene in response to the
agonized cries of Mrs. Pope found tie
revolver still clutched in his right hand.

SAW NOTHING THAT BEAT
THE YAKIMA COUNTRY
So States Edward Whitson, Who Has
Just Returned from Visit to the
Worlds Fair City.

Edward Whitson, accompanied by his
daughter Marion returned Saturday
morning from st. Louis where they spent
nearly month in pleasant and profita-
BILE sight seeing Like all other Yakima
people who wander away form the val
ley for a WHILE they are glad to be at
home again. for in all their long journey
they did not see another section of the
country that looked so attractive. Mr.
Whitson said to Herald reporter:
"Ies, the trip has been very enjoyable
and profitable. We saw the fair, of
course; saw great deal of it, but it is
doubtful if any one could go there and
see it all. 1t is great show. with many
attractive exhibits. OF all these
think there is none that compares with
that of the state of Washington. The
exhibit was the most attractive at the
fair. Our building is the most unique o
the grounds. and it was crowded all the
time. 1t was noticeable too that every
visitor almost displayed a desire to get
information regarding the state of Wash
ington. All literature given out was ca
gerly sought. The exhibit is an excellent
one and is kept in good shape. I think
the appropriation made by the legislat-
ure was well expended. and That the
money is in good hands and being made
to 90 as far as possible. The display will
undoubtedly result in many new citi-
zenS for this state
1--WE spent nearly all of the time we
were away in st. Louis. but stopped over
day or two in Salt Lake City on the
way home The Utah state fair was in
progress. and 7 inspected the exhibits
pretty thoroughly. In short, it cannot
compare with our state fair. Their
peaches are fine, and almost equal to
ours; I will admit that they produce
better grapes than we do; but in nothing
else can their exhibit compare with ours.
The products shown were grown mostly
by irrigation, but they are vastly diff

riety, size and quantity. as well as in
quality. There's no question about it
the Salt Lake valley is not as good as the
Yakima. In fact. this trip has further
convinced me that the Yakima valley is

Did you hear much about politics -
was asked.
"Well. yes: there is good deal of
talk. but all along the same line. If the
sentiments expressed freely are a guide

ARE EXC0mMUN:CATED
Rome's Answer to Two Priests Who
Listened to the French Gov
eminent.

faris. July 25.-For their refusal to an
swer the summons of the vatican, the
French bishops of Laval and Dijon have
been cut off from the church. The papa!
order to this effect is found in the fol-
lowing letter of the papal secretary of
state, Cardinal Merry Del Val:
UNLESS you present yourself before the
sacred congregation in Rome prior to
July 90 you are, thereby, through the sole
effect of your absentation. deprived of
all episcopal powers"
The laundering of the vatican did not
cease there. The bishops who were sum
moned appeared TO the French ministry
as to what course they should adopt. The
minister of education instructed them To
remain at their posts. They then re-
ceived the following letter from Merry
Del Val, directing the bishops attention
to the apostolic bull relative to sedition:
You will find therein an enunciation
of the penalty you have incurred in APP
pealing to the civil branch in order 10
prevent the execution Of the sentences Of
the church."
The penalty referred to is cxcommuni-
cation. The governments controversy
with Rome continues to be the chief sub
ject of public interest. The various moves
are generally considered TO be leading UP
to q termination Of the concordat. and
the separation Of church and state. The
immediate issue is narrowed to the popr's
right to dismiss the French bishops If
Laval and Dion.
