GIRLS IN SUICIDE PACT.
Four Iowa Young Women Take
Poison at Same Hour.
TWO DEAD AND TWO DYING

Victims Resided in Different Parts of
the State, but 1t Is Asserted That
the Agreement Was Made While At:
tending School Together.
Des Moines, May 17.-Bound by an
oath taken at school together that
when one died all should die four Iowa
girls attempted suicide the same day.
Two of them are dead. The girls live
in different parts of the state, but de-
velopments show that all the attempts
were made at the same hour, in pre-
cisely the same way and for the same
reason. The dead are Kate Farrell
Of Birmingham and Kittie Broell of
Cox Creek. Elizabeth Fletcher of
Bonaparte and Lille Milburn of Oar.
by are dying.
All the girls took strychnine at the
same time. Ill health is reported to
have been the cause of the suicide in
each case. Kate Farrell was the
daughter of James Farrell, well-to.do
farmer residing near Birmingham.
Kittie Broell took strychnine and
then, to make death more certain,
blew her head partly off with shot
gun. Her sister had just died and she
grieved over the fact until she became
ILL.,
The most sensational case was that
Of Lilly Milburn, formerly Lilly Far
rell, who, it is claimed, ended her life
because she had been forced to marry
man she did not love. She we'd Har-
ry Milburn because her parents ar
ranged the match when she was fit.
teen years old When she refused to
live with her husband her parents
threatened to force her to do so and
she swallowed poison.
Elizabeth Fletcher of Bonaparte was
of the same age and in i'll health. 1t
is thought that the sister of Kitty
Broell, who died a short time ago, was
member of the club and that when
she killed herself the other members
carried out their oath to take their
lives when the first member died.

SAW NEGRO WITH GUN.
Witness Tells Of the Shooting Up Of
Brownsville. -

Washington, May If. A. H. San
born, manager of the Western Union
Telegraph company at Brownsville,
Tex, in the Brownsville investigation
before the senate committee on mill
tary affairs, testified that he saw a
negro soldier, carrying a gun, enter
the post at about the time the firing
ceased on the night of Aug. 19. On
cross-eXamination he said the man
was walking deliberately and did not
appear to be hurrying from crime to
escape detection. Sanborn was some
what confused as to incidents of the
night because of fright and, although
occupying a room directly across the
road from the main gate Of the post,
many of the occurrences over which
there is no conflict of testimony what
ever escaped him. He was positive,
however, that the man was a negro
soldier and that he carried a gun.

TO DISSOLVE COMBINE
Said President Is Determined to
Prosecute Hartman.
PROCEEDINGS ARE DELAYED
Chief Executive Apprehensive That
Present Prosperity May Be Affected
and He Wishes to Avoid Such a
State of Affairs at This Time.

, Washington, May 17.-E. H. Harri-
man must be criminally prosecuted for
his railroad deals.
This is the fixed determination Of
President Roosevelt without reference
to what action may be suggested by
the department of justice or the inter-
state commerce commission. He
reached this conclusion a long time
ago and nothing short of drastic pro-
ceedings against the great magnate
will satisfy him.
The question of selecting pysch-
illogical time for beginning proceed
ings against Mr. Hartman is all that
has delayed the bringing of a suit
The president is apprehensive that
prosperity may be affected by suits to
dissolve all the combinations arranged
by Hartman. He does not want such
a condition to arise until nearer the
close of his term
For this reason he has decided not
to have proceedings instituted until
late in the autumn or the winter.
This understanding existed at the de,
partment of justice and the interstate
commerce commission.
CONSERVATION prevailed here when
it became known that in some way
the report submitted by Messrs. Kel,
logg and Severance to the commission
had become public This arose from
the fact that the president has not
yet read or approved the report.

THAT SCENIC RAILWAY |,
 AT THE GRAND CANYON

k. P. Parker, with a. party of twelve surveyors, is running lines along the canyon edge at Grand Canyon, with q view to determine the approximate cost of railroad showing the scenic properties of the wonderful Grand Canyon. A drop into the Canyon down to the lower bench overlooking the river is also contempla ted and the survey will include this line also.
 The present plan is to run line ten miles each way from the Ell TQyar, making the drop into the Canyon somewhere near the hotel. A broad guage road bed is to be laid, and it is the intention of the promoters to run their trains sn that it will be possible to see the Canyon in one day. Under the present conditions it is necessary to make tiresome and somewhat perilous if fnot altogether dangerous burro ride down a steep trail if one would see the sights which nature has bequeathed. The ride is necessarily slow and tedious one and many hundreds of tourists who greatly. desire to see the Canyon con the ground floor" are deterred from doing so on account of this trip.
 The scenic railroad will obviate Ill these unpleasant features by affording to all sightseers a much wider and more comprehensive idea of this wonderful cleft in the earth's surface. The estimated cost along the surface is now $30OO a mile This is exclusive of any equipment. The drop into the Canyon, which may be an oblique descent practically in straight line. will add greatly to the figure which the.. promoters have calcu- lated to be necessary. What the final decision of the company will be is at present not known.
 It is understood that Kansas City capitalists are back of the scheme and that all territory and government rights-ofway have been secured The survey will last about two months.

PLEASANTLY ENTERTAINED

An interesting event of the week was the Whist Party given last Tuesday evening by MT. and Mrs. Robert Wente. at their pretty suburban home near this city.
 At 8 o'clock the guests were graciously received by the host and hostess, assisted by Miss Wente, the honor guest. After refreshing themselves with a glass of punch each couple repaired to the porch to enjoy conversation amidst scene of rare levliness. The huge dark pines, iutted against an indigo sky studded with myriads of brilliant stars, served as natures harps through which the breezes sang in sobbing sadness, while anon the cry of the coyote and the dull Tapping of the wings of late birds hying to their mountain rest, appealed in wild splendor to the poetic heart.
 Soon, too soon almost, the guests were called from the contemplation of nature to the enioyments await ing them within. Amidst the perfume of flowers and the brill fancy of gorgeous lights, seven tables were arranged to accom- modate the guests responding to the invitations.
 After six games had been played Mrs. w. +. Dermont was proclaimed winner of the lady's prize and Fred Baum of the gentleman's prize-the first an Indian souvenir spoon, the other a down pillow. which will. of course, be claimed immediately by Fred's best girl" Miss Dorothy Stark and E. J. Johnston were awarded: the con- solations-an Fl Tovar spoon and California Indian basket, to be used as a receptacle for mems jewelry.
 Excellent refreshments were served by the accomplished hostess and sweet music rendered by Miss Irene Johnston and Miss Wente, the latter charming all with her vocal renditions.
 At a late hour the guests departed with many expressions of appreciation of the delightful entertainment.
