SWALLOWS ACID AND DIES
Critic Teacher in Monmouth Normal
School Commits Suicide From
Unknown Cause.

MONMOUTH, Or, May 23-Miss
Daisy B. Huntington, critic teacher
in the training department of the Ore
gon State Normal School, committed
suicide by drinking carbolic acid,
Sunday afternoon, at the home OF
Prof. G. A. Rice. She was discovered
dying, in her room, by Miss Martha
Whealdon, an intimate friend.
That the act was premeditated can
not be doubted, as she had written
notes to her mother and brother and
a telegram to the brother. She had
packed her belongings, leaving her
bank book on the table with the letters
In the letter to the mother, she asked
the mothers forgiveness and told her
she was the only friend she had. She
also stated that she was tired of life.
Miss Huntington was a graduate Of
the Illinois State Normal, and had
attended the Chicago University. She
had taught in the East, and this was
her first year in Monmouth. She was
an excellent teacher, and her salary
had been raised for next year.
The remains we're shipped to her
people in Illinois, and were accom-
panied by Miss Martha Whealdon.

CHANGE IN TRAIN SCHEDULE
independence Motor Will Connect
With Morning Passenger Train
at Dallas After May 2S.

Beginning May 80, the Independence
motor will connect with the morning
Dallas-Portland passenger train. The
motor will leave Independence each
morning in time to make connection
at Dallas at o'clock, and will return
to Independence Immediately after the
passenger train leaves for Portland.
The noon and evening trips to this
city win be continued by the motor
company.
The Dallas passenger train Will
leave the Jefferson street depot in
Portland at o'clock in the evening,
instead OF 4o'clock, and will arrive at
Dallas at 10 instead OF 7;I0 o'clock.
Heretofore the people Of Indepen-
dence and Monmouth have had no
train service by which it was possible
TO go to Portland and return the same
day. The extra morning trip Of the
motor will fiji this long-felt want and
will give the residents Of the south
part Of the county practically as good
service as that enjoyed by the people
Of Dallas. The holding Of the even
ing train in Portland from 4 until 9
o'clock will give valley merchants
more time 10 which to transact bust
ness in the city, and will also be a
great accommodation to the people
attending the Exposition.

.NEWBILL MAY NOT COME
Newly Elected Principal of Dallas
Public School Neglects to File
Acceptance.

Prof. T. J. Newbill, Of Independence,
who was recently elected principal Of
the Dallas public school, informs the
Board of Directors that he will prob
ably not accept the position, as strong
inducements have been offered him to
remain where he is. His action comes
as a surprise to the Dallas school
officers, as he had appeared anxious
to make the change, and had earnestly
solicited the position of principal OF
tie Dallas school.
The Dallas directors made no effort
to take Professor Newbill away from
the Independence school, knowing
that his services were highly salts
factory to the people of that district,
and it was only after his positive
assurance that he desired to leave
Independence and come to Dallas that
his application was given serious con-
sideration. The directors say that he
appeared so anxious to sever his con-
nection with the Independence school
and take charge Of the Dallas school
that they are at loss to account for
his sudden change of mind. 1t is
thought that superior inducements
have been offered him to remain where
he is, and, il this is the case, the
people of Independence are not to be
blamed, for it is a well-knOwn fact
that Professor NeWbill has been
highly successful in the management
of their school. The only matter of
regret is that Professor Newbill should
apply for the Dallas school and then
neglect to accept the position offered
him.
The directors of the Dallas district
have held no formal meeting to con-
slider the selection Of principal In
place of Professor Newbill, but it now
seems certain that Prof. W. /.
Reynolds will be asked to accept the
position. Professor Reynolds has re-
ceived offers of principalship and a
handsome salary from eight or nine
leading schools Of the state, and his
services are greatly in demand by
those who are familiar with his ability
as teacher. but he will doubtless con-
sent to remain in Dallas, as his home
and all his property interests are here.
The election of Professor Reynolds
will prove highly satisfactory to the
patrons of the Dallas public school
and the people Of Dallas in general.

used in the decorations, and the dis
play of choice roses could scarcely
have been better. The house was
crowded and all enjoyed the excellent
program provided by local talent
assisted by others from Dallas and
Salem. The recitations and readings
by Miss Pollock, of Dallas, were
especially appreciated and showed
her to be a true artist in her work.

GRANT HALF-FARE RATE

County Judge Coad received letter
from G. Fl. McTsaac yesterday, inform
ing him that the Southern Pacific
Company will grant halR-fare rate
between Dallas and Portland on Mon
day, June 5-Dallas day at the Lewis
and Clark Fair. This reduction in
fare will insure large attendance,
and it is now certain that Dallas will
be we'll represented at the big Fair on
thatd day. Many Of the business houses
will declare a holiday in order to give
their employees an opportunity to join
the excursion. Judge Coad was in
Independence and Monmouth yester-
day, and was highly gratified to learn
that many people from those towns
will join with Dallas in making the
day successful. 1t is probable that a
program will be arranged for the day,
and that citizens from Independence
and Monmouth will be among the
speakers. 1t is hoped to make Dallas
day at the Fair one long to be remem-
bered, and it is the duty Of every loyal
citizen OF the town to help make a
good showing on that day.

Normals Defeat Dallas.

By slow and careless playing in the
infield, the Dallas College baseball
team lost to the Normal School team
on the home grounds last Saturday
by score of 6 to 2. The playing of
the visitors was not of the sort that
arouses enthusiasm, but that of the
home team was infinitely worse.
Several times during the game, Dallas
had chance to tie the score, but
failed In each instance, The game
throughout was Comedy of Errors.
A large crowd of spectators braved
the cold north wind and cheered for
the home team, although it must be
admitted that the opportunities for
yelling were few and far between.
Dallas College has a good baseball
team, but the hoodoo was on the boys
In Fridays game, aud they positively
could not get away from it,

Dallas should send a large delega-
ton to the meeting of the Willamette
Valley Development League to be
held in Independence, June and TO-
A fine program will be arranged for
both days, and good meeting is
anticipated. The Board of Trade
should arrange for special motor,
and the business men should turn out
In full force. Any movement having
for its object the upbuilding of Oregon
is worthy Of the active support of
every citizen, and Dallas cannot
afford to fall behind the procession.

NEVADA A
WONDER

Commenting on the mining revival
of Nevada; Editor Will G. Higgins,
of the Salt Lake Mining Review, says,
under the head, Nevada is n Won
der:'
an Nevada at the present time
every thing in "A mining line goes, and
for the very good reason that moth
ing succeeds like success.
IF one had made the prediction n
few years ago that within a brief
space OF time Nevada would compel
the attention of the financial and
commercial world a s being the center
II the greatest mining excitement of
the West, he would have been
laughed to scorn, and his prophecy
would have had but little weight in
mining circles throughout the utter
mountain region. And yet, this pre-
diction, this prophecy has been nor
than fulfilled, and the comparatively
recent discovery Of Tonopah, Gold
field, Builfrog and Of other great
Nevada camps has set the whole world
agog; while from every point OF the
compass; within the next few months;
n stampede will set in to this land OF
wonders that will doubtless eclipse
anything of this character ever before
recorded in the mining history OF the
West; and it is safe to predict that
this great and overwhelming influx
of new blood, of capital, of experience,
OF enthusiasm almost beyond bounds.
and OF IN army of men doggediy de-
termined to dry into natures secrets
and to find, for themselves, II golden
bonanza, will result in finding rev
mining camps possessed of marvellous
mineral wealth, and those so remote
from the present seat of wild excite'
ment and wonderful success that
every section Of the state will come
forward with great wealth producers
and dividend payers galore. Ten
wears from now the Nevada of today
will not be recognizable. Its past will
have been forgotten and the growth
that it will have attained will place it
in the front ranks among the mineral
producing states, while the records OF
the grand old Comstock will have
been so badly eclipsed as to suffer
geatly in comparison"
