CLOSING OF "CUBAN CLUB"
ENDS GANBLtNGON ISLAND

HAVANA. Jan. 6.-The closing OF
the Cuban Club better known as the
Cuban Monte Carlo marks the end
ing OF big gambling in Cuba at least
for the time being.
1t has been said that the American
syndicate running,th club had squared
the police and that even the most had
been bought.
Such reports are wholly Incorrect.
As a matter of fact neither the no

The mother who has acquired the
habit of keeping on hand bottle of
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy, saves
herself great amount of uneasiness and
anxiety. Coughs, colds and Group, to
which children are susceptible, are
quickly cured by its use. 1t counteracts
any tendency of cold to result in pneu-
monia, and If given as soon as the first
symptoms of Group appear, it will pre-
vent the attack. This remedy contains
nothing injurious and mothers give it to

curity. Sold by ]. w. Bell, Walhalla

Anderson Man Stays His wife.

Anderson, February 12.-Luther Strick-
land, a white man who lives in the Rob
erts section of the county, appeared at
the Jail Sunday morning and made the
remarkable announcement that he had
killed his wife and wanted to give him
self up.
According to the story Strickland told
he was awakened about IL O'Clock Satur-
day night by noise in the yard. He
missed his wife from the room, he SAYS,
and On goiug outside found her in the
yard with another man. The man ran.
he says, and he did not recognize him
In his anger, he says, he seized an axe
and struck his wife several times across
the shoulders aud head. She fell to her
knees ne says, but afterward got up and
went in the house. Strickland says he
saw that he had inflicted severe injuries,
and decided that she would die, and that
he had better come to the Jail and give
himself up. He did not notify any of his
neighbOrs of the occurrence, but came
direct to the city.
Officers were sent to the scene from
the city to investigate, and the people'of
the community knew nothing OF the
occurrence until the officers arrived.
The house was entered about 10 o'clock
Sunday morning. Mrs. Strickland was
found lying in bed, with her little 4-year-
old child by her side. The child was
asleep and woke up when the officers
entered the house.
Mrs. Strickland was lying in a natural
position, it is said, and was we'll covered
With bed clothing, There was no evil
dence that she had entered the bed after
having been struck in the yard, as
Strickland claims. Mrs. Strickland was
lying near the center of the bed, and the
child was lying on the outside. There
was evidence that the opposite side of
the bed had been occupied.
The people of the community are not
inclined to believe Strickland's story,
but there we're no other witnesses to the
killing except Strickland himself. The
neighbors of the family say Strickland
and his wife quarreled frequently. There
is strong conviction that Strickland
killed his wife as she lay in bed, and
afterward became frightened over the
deed and decided to give himself up.

There was a large attendance at the annual

at the Hotel Aston. The enthusiasm over
the prosperous reports was tinged with regret
that President Alfred Craven and nearly the
full board of officers have become directors
OF the new Dunwoodie Country Club. While
keeping up their membership in the selec ct
organization OF Van Cortlandt Park golfers
the seceders will make the new links their
home course hereafter. The course at Dun
woodie is mapped out and cleared of stone
walls, preparations being pushed along on
links and clubhouse in expectation for the
formal opening on July 4 and reading of
the Declaration of Independence.
The tenement committees report shows
that $500 had been expended during 1905 in
