Young woman's Tragic Death.

Greenville, September 6.--Miss Lucille
Haddon, beautiful young woman about
10 years of age, daughter of Mrs. Sarah
e. Haddon, who keeps a boarding house
on North Main street, met death in a
most shocking and tragic manner early
this afternoon. She was shot through
the heart by the accidental discharge of
a pistol, which evidently fell to the floor
while she was removing several articles
Of clothing from trunk. Miss Haddon
had only few minutes before returned
from shopping, and while out she bought
bottle of gasoline TO clean skirt. She
went 70 her room and g few moments
later the report of pistol was heard
When members of the family reached
the room the young woman was lying on
the floor gasping for breath. She never
spoke. No one was in the room when
the accident occurred. The bottle of
gasoline was on the floor near the body
and smoking revolver of 41-calliber
was near the trunk, which was open and
from which the unfortunate girl had
removed several garments. Miss Lucille
was of sunny disposition and she was
in her usual happy humor to-day. The
pistol was a gift to her two years ago
and she always kept it in her trunk.
There is not the least ground to support
suicide theory. The Haddons are we'll
known and highly respectable people
and live in very desirable section of
the city. Mrs. Haddon, mother of Miss
Lucille, has been widow for number
of years. She supported herself by keep
ing boarders. The dead girl wee great
help to her mother in running tho house.

Gov. Hoggatt issued his first Thanks piyiog proclamation yesterday at June' au. It is a model iu its brevity and directness. The proclamation is as follows:
 "In accordance with the proclama- tion of the President of the United States, and following a time-honored custom and usage of our country, l, MILFORD B. HOGGATT, Governor of the District of Alaska, do hereby desig- nate Thursday, the 29th day of NoVem- Der, 1906, as & day of public Thanks giving and Praise and recommend that, upon that day, sll the people of the District abstain from their usual avoca- tions, and reparing to their respective places of worship, do give thanks to the Supreme Ruler of the universe for the blessings vouchsafed us during the past year, not forgetting to contribute to the relief of those who have not enjoyed the prosperity we celebrate.

 "The psoriasis first made its appear ance in red spots, generally forming a circle, leaving in theCenter aspot about the size of a silver dollar of sound flesh. In a short time the affected circle would form heavy dry scale of a white silvery appearance and would gradually drop off. To remove the entire scales by bathing or using oil to soften them the flesh would be perfectly raw, and light discharge of bloody substance would ooze out. That scaly CruStwould form again in twenty-four hours. It was worse on my arms and limbs, al- though it was in spots all over my body, also on my scalp. If l let the scales remain too long without remoy- ing by bath or otherwise, the skin would crack and bleed. l suffered intense itching. worse at nights after getting warm in bed, or blood warm By exercise, when it would be almost unbearable.
