AN OPEN AIR FETE.
The Ladies of the W0man's Literary Club Entertain Gentlemen Friends and
 Other Guests.


 The hospitable home of MT. and Mrs. A. w. St. John on "The Heights, never seemed more at- tractive than it was last Saturday night, the occasion being the open air fete given by the Wom- ans Literary Club.
 The Japanese lanterns that were strung from one end of the lawn to the other were most alluriug beacon light 10 the merry guests as they reached the brow of the mountain, and under the soft light the tables displayed to good advantage choice viands that were served so generously served by the committee, who de- serve a vote of thanks for their successful efforts. Many enjoyed the mountain air, seated on the lawn, others in hammocks, while the more prudent reg arding the chill night air, gathered in the parlor and enjoyed vocal solos that were gracefully rendered by Mrs. Flynn, Miss Lawson and Mir. Tarr. Miss Elizabeth Loch- ridge brought forth an en core by her brilliant instrumental performance.
 The out of town guests were: Misses Nellie Acrnman, Christine Landes aud Ray Scoggins who are enJoying Miss Elizabeth Lochrldge's hospitality; Mir. Car ruth of Oklahoma City, the guest of Mir. and Mrs. Shrewsbury, and Mir. Cameron of Port Arthur, the guest Mir. Frank Roach, whom we are so glad to have with Us again.
 The c0mnittea, composed oI Mesdames Cardwell, Lochridge, Hancock, Finks, Drummond and St. John, have reason 10 be con graduated upon so happy a termination of function that by reason of showers in the after noon threatened rather a sad end ing to pleasures so carefully prepared and fortunately so happily carried out. They ex tend thanks to Messrs Roy St. John, Cardwell and Wigstrand for attending so carefully to their wants after others had been served.

A SUNDAY
 MORNING SUICIDE
Rena Gray, Cook at Cora Bain's Res. taurant, Takes Dimes Worth
 of StrYchnine.

Rena Gray, aged twenty-eig ht years, cook at the Cora Bain restaurant ou Meua street, com mitted suic de yesterday about II o'clock b. taking large dose of strychnine which she mixed ia a dnink of whisky. After taking the poison the woman only lived about thirty minu es, dying short ly after pr. G. F. Dunnan, who was sent for, reached her.
 Had Grown Despondent.
 At the inquest held by Coroner Pool in the afternoon it developed from evidence given by witnesses who were in the restaurant yes terdav forenoon that the woman had grown despo1dcnt and was crying over some trouble with her lover. Just prior to the time these parties entered the restau rant she went to the phone and rang up the Jackson drug store and ordered 10 cents worth of strychnine sent to the Bain res- taurant, aud after receiving the poison and paying for it, she poured the contents of the box into a glass partly filled with water which she stirred with a spoon, and turning 10 one of the men she stated that she believed she would take a drink of his whisky and on being given the bottle poured some whisky into the glass and drauk it. After drinking the contents of the glass she threw the box on the floor, and turning to the two men said, ''Now you can see what l have done, and turning around stepped out of the back door of the res taurant anu went up stairs In the Steel building which is only d short distance from the restau- rant. One of the parties picked up the box and on examination founi 1t to be labeled strychuine. The two men thinking that the woman was only trying 10 fool them left the restaurant and both seemed greatly surprised on being told of her death shortly after ward.
 It also developed at the inquest that the woman made an unsuc- cessful attempt to take her lite about year ago.
 Little is known of the woman, further than the fact that she has been a resident of Mena for about three years. It is said that she has relatives living in the Terri tory, but at what point the authorities so far have been un- able 10 learn.
 
 The remains of the dead woman were turned over to the Jackson Undertaking Company to prepare for burial aud were inferred in Odd Fellows cemetery this after noon at o'clock.

IS After the Druggists Of
North Dakota.

The Importance Of the druggists
having pure drugs in stock, SO that
the physicians may accurately meas
nre the amount of a certain drug re-
quired In q dose of medicine will be
recognized by all. II q physician
writes out a prescriction requiring
opium and other drugs, he calculates
the potency of the compound and reg
ulates the dose accordingly. Commits
stoner Ladd has been devoting some
time, with his assistants, examining
drugs in various parts of the state,
and on being interviewed by q Call
representative yesterday, stated that.
in his opinion there was ample justi-
fcation for the enactment of the pure
drug law. The commissioner cited
the information gained in connection
with his Investigations regarding the.
purity of opium In its various forms,
which is one Of the drugs most used,
by the medical profession. Mr.. Ladd
stated that he found that opiums on
sale In drug stores in the state var
led In purity from 80 per cent up to
almost absolutely pure, sthat is in a
number of cases he found that opium
on sale was only 30 per cent pure,
the remainder being adu1teration. The
commissioner stated that the amount
of opium in the drug sold in it's var
ious forms should be from 10 to 1.25
grams to every 100 centimeters. Oc-.
,casionally he found only, 2 grams to
every 100 centlmeters. Commissioner
Ladd intends that the law shall be
strictly enforced for the protection Of
the medical profession and also the

HORSE
Dashes Down Third Street Without
Damage-Driver Dumped On Brush
Pie But Escapes Serious Injury
Cutter Also Escaped Damage.

L. F. Allen had quite an exciting
runaway yesterday, that was remark
able because no damage was done.
Mr.. Allen was driving on Third street
when some boys who had "hitched on"
to a sleigh In front of him, let go, and
in order to avoid driving on them, he
turned his horse abruptly to one side,
and the scrambles Of the boys in get
ting out of the way, scared the horse
and 1t started at mad run north.
The cutter struck against the curbing
and was upset, throwing the driver
out. He held on to the lines and was
dragged some distance, but being I'M
able to regain his feet, he was COM
PEELED to let go. The cutter righted
itself and the horse went madly on.
While there were many teams on the
street at the time, no accident hap
pened, and the animal finally stopped
in a snow drift near the cemetery. The
only injurydone was the breaking of
the harness crupper and the whip, the
horse being uninjured, and the cutter
without a scratch. Mr.. Allen landed
in brush pile when he was thrown
out, and SO escaped with only a few
slight bruises.

STILL THE
CHAMPION
Ted Schumacher. Shows His Worth
and Speed in the Race With 0. w.
Anderson Last Night Large Crowd
Of Enthusiasts Present.

of Enthusiastic Present.
The race between Ted Schumacher
and o. w. Anderson of st. Paul, last
night at the Dacotah ice rink ended in
complete victory for the local boy
and the retention of the title as state
champion for the half-mile. Jim
Lyons, the sporting goods vendor of
this city, was the starter and from the
very first it was seen that Schumacher
was the better man, although Ander-
son kept close to him all the time.
Anderson. who is st. Paul man, is
speedy, but is used to a much larger
rink that the local one is and this was
one reason for his defeat. However,
he put up game race until the last
lap was over. He is thorough gen.
tleman and took his dereat in sports
maniike manner. Schumacher, by his
victory is the retainer of the states
championship for the half mile and is
also little ahead financially as part
of the gate receipts were divided be-
tween the contestants. Schumacher
has long list of victories to his credit
and is certainly showing up in good
form and If his Improvement is steady
and as rapid as 1t has been, will soon
hold place among the champions.

A NEW DULUTH

IL rs said That the Soc VIII Build q

From Head of Lakes to Twin Cities.
It is said that the 500 road. will
build new line from Duluth to Fred
erick, Wis, q terminal point on
branch fifteen miles from st. Paul.
If this line is completed 1t will give an
almost air line between Duluth and
the Twin Cities. 1t is said that bids
for the contracts have been advertised
/, for
It is quite probable that the 500 will
build either from Duluth to Thief

seems probable from reports from the
best of authority that the old route
to Daluth will be adhered to. Just
why line should be built to Caring
ton does not appear when shorter
line to Thief River Falls would give
direct route to as great field. 1t is
likely that both lines are contem-
plated and will ultimately be built.
