A Good and Greatly Beloved Woman

Had Been for TREATMENT

Home from the Hospital Where She
Had Been for Treatment.
Mrs. Mary Jones Chavasse, wife of
Mr.. Nicholas Fl. Chavasse, died at
her home in this place about half
past ten O'Clock Wednesday morning.
Tuesday evening she reached home
from Richmond where she went about
ten days before for treatment at the
hospital. Mrs. Chavasse had suffer
ed lately with some form OF heart
trouble and growing worse it was de-
cided to bring her home it being her
desire to die surrounded by her fam
lily. She realized her condition and
knew that the end was near
Recovering from the fatigue OF
travel she Was able to SIT up yester-
day morning. Conscious to the last
and conversing with those about her
up to a few moments before she died,
the end came calmly and peacefully,
a fit closing of the gentle, Christian
life she had lived.
Mrs. Chavasse was a native OF Eng
land and was 81 years old She had
been q residen of Henderson about
BIB years, and there was no better be-
loved woman in the town. She was
a devout member of the Episcopal
church and q lovely Christian ch
acter, consecrated to the work of the
church and to deeds OF charity and
benevolence. A devoted husband and
four children, beside numerous grand
children and other relatives here and
in England are left to mourn her
death. The children are Mrs. d. Y.
Cooper, Capt. Thomas H., Harry and
Sidney Chavasse, all of this town.

Christian Endeavor and Junior societies
was success in every particular. The

throughout the program, from the rise
Of the curtain, when the announcement
was made that ''the last number would
be farewell song,' which was imme-
diately sung by the Juniors with backs
to the audience, till the greeting" song
which closed the program. Many ex.
cellent numbers, each Of which deserves
special mention, were enjoyed by the
appreciative audience. The vocal solos
by Misses Maud Gholson and Goldie
Willaby and Messrs. ]. N. Scott and
Ora Rhodes instrumental numbers
by Misses Jenkins and Ellington, Mrs.
Plamondon and Mr.. Albert Bales and
recitations by Misses Cora Dawson,
Cecile Boyd and Zelma DePeatt each
elected hearty applause. The program
closed with a laughable farce, "Dot
Mad Dog" played by Misses Gholson
and Foss and Messrs. Scott and Rhodes,
assisted by "Mac," the renowned dog
actor.
Games and social converse closed the
evening, and the society treasury was
enriched something over $40, after all
expenses we're paid.

WAS NOT A SUICIDE
AUTOPSY PROVES WILLIS DIED
A NATURAL DEATH.
This Is the Verdict of DR.. Van Patten
of Walla Walla, Concerning
Frank Willis.

To the question whether Frank Willis
committed suicide at Milton, the under.
takers, McMartin & Smith, who had
charge Of the body, and DR.. Van Patten.
who analysed the contents of the
stomach, answer that Frank Willis did
not commit suicide, although bottle of
strychnine and card stating that be
was going to take his life we're found in
his pocket. Thus says the Walla Walla
correspondent of the Spokesman Re-
view.
At the coroner's inquest no autopsy
was held, and as the evidence was pure
ly clrcumstantial, verdict of suicide
was returned.
After the inquest when the body OF
Willis was taken to Walla Walla for
burial, an autopsy was performed at the
request Of the relatives, and DIR. Van
Patten says emphatically that there was
no traces Of strychnine in the stomach,
as he made careful analysis. The
dead mans heart was found to be in a
terribly diseased condition, the auricles
and ventriclss being OF bony structure,
superinduced by calcium and lime de-
posits. Instead of being firm and mus
cular, as is the ordinary heart, that
organ was found to be limp and fabby.
The brain was found to be in bad con-
dition, with growth nearly an inch
in length protruding from the skull.
On the side of the head was scar
caused by the blow OF an ak when a
child which had caused inflammation and
the subsequent growth.

SELL YOUR CREAM
MORE MONEY DERIVED THAN
IN MAKING BUTTER.
Chance for Athena to Have Swimming
Station and Possibly
Creamery.

Among other things brought up at the
special meeting of the Commercial AS
sociation Tuesday evening was the prac
ticability Of the establishment of skim
ming station and possibly creamery in
| Athena.
| A merchant present stated that COM
pany stands ready and willing to estab
lish skimming station here, when the
product of 200 COWS is promised. With
this end in view his clerks have been in
terviewing farmers as they come into the
store in order to ascertain if it is pos
sible to secure the desired number OF
milch cows. The grocerymen of the
town have since taken the matter up
and will interview their country custom
ers, and beginning next Friday the
Press will each week publish the num-
ber of cows as given the grocerymen,
together with the name of the owner.
In this manner it will be an easy matter
to see whether or no there are enough
cows in the territory tributary to Athsna
to furnish ample cream for a skimming
station.
With the establishment of skimming
station, the way is paved for creamery.
1t is predicted that farmers will take an
interest in the matter, for the reason
that more money can be derived from
the product of the COW by selling the
butter fat than by making ranch butter
and selling it in competition with the
high grade creamery butter.

To Fight Trusts in Kansas

be presented to the senate shortly.
Governor Hoch has not yet signed the
bill providing for the erection by the
state of an oil refinery. Along with it's
fight on oil, Kansas is also making war
on those who would pipe gas out of the
state. Today in the house the Holdren
bill to regulate the mode of procuring
and transporting natural gas was passed.
Unlike oil legislation, which seeks to
make market for that product, the gas
measure is intended to restrict the sale
of gas. Kansas is wanting the gas saved
for its own industries.
