day enjoyed what was unanimously
voted the most successful "hike' of
tho many that have been led by Pro
fessor D. Lange Of the St. Paul Central

reveled in the invigorating exercise,
but were in no better condition at the
end than the ten up-to -the-minute girls
who enjoyed the tramp and announced
that they would not "take dare' to
| walk back over the same route.
The "hike" was designed to make
students better acquainted with the
| wonders about them. The general

rock formations, the springs and stores
of other natural sights, commonplace
unless especially studied, but wonder
fully intricate and interesting when
carefully considered, were pointed out

zion WOMAN KILLS
BABY AND HERSELF
Mother, Suddenly Demented,
Leaps with Her Child in
| Front of Train.
BY Publishers Press.

BY Publishers Press.
Chicago, March 17.-With her three
months-old baby in her arms, Mrs. T..
J. Tanner of Zion City threw herself
under the wheels Of Chicago & North
Western train today. Both were in
stantly killed.
Mrs. Tanner, who was a well known
woman in Zion, became suddenly de-
mented. No other theory is advanced
to account for her mad act. Her do
nestle life is thought to have been
happy. She seemed contented with
her lot at Zion.
The murder and suicide occurred at
the crossing near Zion City depot. The
few persons who had gathered upon
the platform of the depot saw Mrs
Tanner with her baby in her arms
standing near the track. There was
| nothing in her manner to betray heI
intention and they paid little atten-
| ton to her.
| When the train was almost upon her
the insane woman leaped directly il
] the center of the track and stood fac
ing the engine. Mother and.child were
killed Instantly.
