ALLOWS
RED OXIDE
OF MERCURY

Jealous and dependent to the ex-
tent of almost temporary insanity
and tired of this mortal life young
lady stopping at the Metropolitan
hotel attempted suicide Wednesday
might in the hotel between s and 8
o'clock but the prompt attendance
of physicians saved her life.
The woman gives her name as
Miss Jennie Mealey, though there is
an intimation by her that she is mar
riea. or at least, that is what she
told Telegram representative, you
would call i" She Is about p
years old.
At the hour stated she went to Z
drug store and purchased ten cents
worth of red oxide of mercury, quite
a Iarge amount, fully enough to kill
-l4reFeS than one person, and luckily
an overdose, else she might now be
corpse, instead of being almost
her NATURAL self again.
Returning to the hotel she OBJ
tained glass of water and poured
the deadly poison in it, stirred II
until it was dissolved, and then de
liberately drank it. She soon be-
gan groaning and thus attracted at
tention. The management of the
hotel hastily summoned physicians
who. after considerable work, sue
ceeded in destroying the effects o.
the poison and relieving her stomach
of it.
Shortly before the poison was tax
en- by her size was seen by one of the
guests at the hotel standing in the
rear hall way crying He inquired
what the trouble was and she stat
ed that she wanted to send fellow
a message. The guest assured her
that. il she would but write it, he
would take it to the addrcssee an'
bring back his answer. She wrot"
the note, handed it to him, and he
delivered it. but no answer came, the
fellow not choosing to reply.
As soon as this occurred, she pm
on her hat, went up street, bough'
poison, returned to the hotel anE
swallowed it as already stated.
A member of the local sportin'
fraternity is said to be the cause o
her rash act. 1t appears that he had
been paving her attention, but re-
Gently She learned that anothe'
woman was the object of his affec
tions, and this made her Jealous an'
despondent.
The young woman improved quite
rapidly after the physicians haC
given her medical attention. but al
day Thursday she was confined to
her bed. If there are no complies
lions, she will be out in few days
Miss Mealey stated that she was
reared in Upshur county, but tn"
past two wears resided in Salem. She
came here from Salem only day
or so ago and had been STOPPING
only short time at the Metropoli-
tan.
Thursday she appeared to be TAX
ing life very philosophicallv and
seemed to have recovered fully from
her dependency. However, she
was very reticent about the matter
and declined 10 talk about it to any
considerable extent.

cidcd to use the same text books now
in use in the city schools.
This department will be in charge
of Miss Amy Basel, graduate OF

Clarksburg and the friends of the
