IA THAT ARE ATTRACTIVE,

The move for an up-to-date city

The secretary of the commercial

inquiries about the wonderful Walla

Enclosed in the letter was a clipping
from the New York Evening Globe
of October 10, setting forth the fact
that Walla Walla, the wealthiest city
in the country of its size, was going
to put on new dress and few more
nice things about the garden city.
The following day Mr.. Bulger wrote
for information about the country with
a view to locating here.

contended all along that a first-class
charter would help the city but we did
not expect to be confirmed so quick

Millionaire Finds Better Half Is
Energetic Chorus Girl.
DOMESTIC TROUBLES QUICKLY FOLLOW
WIFE DECLINES TO QUIT STAGE
UNLESS SHE GETS $4,000
A YEAR..

CROOKSTON, MINI, Oct. 2e.-Citi-
zens of Crookston and of Warren are
watching with much interest for the
outcome of the controversy between
a young woman, formerly a resident
of Warren, and well-knoWn mere. and
her millionaire husband as to whether
or not she shall appear in the chorus
of a comic opera troupe.
Only a few years ago Vida Mohr
was working as a stenographer in
southern Minnesota. She was unusu-
ally pretty and had numerous admir-
ers among the young men of the viii
lage, and finally married one of them,
fine young fellow, but penniless be-
yond his salary of SIS a month.
Then they removed to Warren,
where they resided for two years,
their residence there being marked by
an exhibition Of jealousy on the part
of the wife which is said to have un-
justly involved a young woman of
Warren. The young woman proved
the falsity of the statements, and the
outcome of the episode was the quit
ting of Warren by the handsome STEM
ograpner and her husband. After
wards they moved to Crookston, but
remained here only short time, then
going to southern Minnesota.
Old Mans Darling.
After they left Warren the love OF
Vida for her husband apparently be-
gan to wane, and after a time, they
were divorced. She then went to
Cleveland, O., where she met NJ w.
Becton, an elderly gentleman, who
had made a fortune in the manufac-
ture of surgical Instruments Becton
fell madly in love with the handsome
Minnesota girl, married her and took
her to New York where he installed
her in a palatial home. Everything
went well for a time, but finally Mrs.
Becton appears to have tired of the
humdrum existence of a member of
society and started out to seek a d.
version.
One night Becton occupied a box
at a theater party when he went to
witness the production of a popular
comic opera. He was Mortified to dis
cover that one of the most attractive
and energetic of the chorus girls who
filled the stage was his wife, whom
he supposed was at home nursing a
sick headache. Then there was
scene which bordered nearer tragedy
than opera bouffe. Mrs. BectOn, how
ever was obdurate. She refused to
leave the chorus unless ner husband
would settle upon her an income Of
$4,000 a year. This he angrily re-
fused to do, and there for the pres
ent the controversy rests, Mrs. Bee
ton continuing to appear in the Choir

gone to Waitsburg.
The County Mixup.
While showing their enmitv TO Mr.
Harper, because he is a Waitsbure
man, on the other hand, MANY Prescott
and Eureka fiat republicans will SUD-
port T. M. Mckinney for auditor
against J. N. McCaw, just because he
IS from the east end Of the county.
AS we'll known republican from
Prescott said the other day, it is a
queer combination and it would take
Philadelphia lawyer to figure out
the political situation in the eastern
end of the county.
w. j. Honeycutt, also being from
the eastern end of the county will get
practically, so per cent Of the republi-
can votes for treasurer against Phil
Hawley. Mr.. Honeycutt also stands
well with the republican farmers in
the west end of the county on account
OF his splendid official record for eco
nomy and efficiency during the four
years he has been auditor. MANY re-
publicans will support Mr.. Honeycutt
for the simple reason that the Haw-
leys have been in public office contin-
uousIy for the past rs years and there
fore there should be a change. The
records in the auditors office snow
that the office has been actually con-
Quoted at profit to the county the
past two years.
RAIDER Is Strong.
One Of the strongest men put up
by the democrats this year is Carey
M. RAIDER for prosecuting attorney and
his election is practically conceded by
republican leaders, Notwithstanding the
normal heavy republican majority in
the county. Mr.. RAIDERS ability as an
attorney has never been questioned
and the fact that he has been promi-
nently identified in developing some of
the biggest enterprises in walla walla
will result in hundreds of republicans
endorsing his candidacy in preference
to Otto B. Rupp, who for years, has
fought the Ankeny faction. The mex
perience Of Rupp as an attorney is one
Of his greatest drawbacks.
Michael Toner, it is conceded, will be
the next assessor of Walla Walla coun-
ty. being one of the strongest candi-
dates on the democratic ticket this
year. Two years ago, in a republic
can landslide, ne was only defeated by
80 votes by r. j. Bergman.
Republican leaders admit that the
Independent vote this year must be
taken into consideration in figuring the
possible results Of the election next
month, a contingency, with the excep-
iton Of two years ago, that the re-
publicans have not had to figure on.
