DISCARDED BY MAN,
 GIRL IS \ SUICIDE
Well Connected In Iowa, She OeSpaired of Life Be-
 ing Led,

GRAND JUNCTION, Col, June 20 Her love scorned by the objects of her affections: cast aside by her par amour as a child discards a bauble that pleased but yesterday, and her soul wrScked with despair, Mrs. Frankie Mulhern, 23 years old, the daughter of prominent and wealthy people of Fontanelie, Iowa, swallowed large quantity of carbolic acid in her room at the Western hotel today and died three hours later.
 While the exact cause of the wom- ans act is clouded in some mystery, friends say that she had freely de clared during the past week that she intended to commit suicide because of the miserable life she was living. It is alleged that a prominent young married man of this city had been pay ing her attention, but that about ten days ago their relations were sudden ly broken off Since that time the girl has been Respondent and melan- choly She had been separated from her husband for several months and had been employed as waitress in various local restaurants and cafes, although letters in her trunk from her parents showed that she had been re- ceiying regular remittances of money from home.
 Mrs. Mulhern went to = her room about midnight, and at 2:15 this morn ing she came downstairs and informed the proprietress that she had just taken poison and wanted to die. A physician was immediately summon ed, but the woman fell prostrate on the floor before she could be carried back to her room.
 The body will be forwarded to the old home in Iowa tomorrow unless the coroner decides in the meantime to hold an inquest. for the purpose of in yestigating the circumstances which led the girl to end her life.

BEAR TIES UP RAILROAD.

OGDEN, Utah, June 20.--A mother bear in quest of her young tied up the Kemmered division of the Union Pa cific railroad system. Incidentally she kept two operators at Bryan, Wyo., prisoners in their sleeping apartments for hours, while angry trainmen swore at having to stop at a place where stops were not sched- uled.
 A newly-arrived telegrapher fool ishly invested in two cubs-the off, springs of the mother. who for days had hunted high and low for her children. As a last hope she peeped into the bunkhouse of the operators. who fortunately had seen her coming, and at a lively rate had proceeded to bar the door which led into the sta ton. The mother bear growled lit tie, but seemed content to wait, evi- dently thinking that great railway did not need the operator.
 A freight crew. not seeing the semapbore in place. started to in- yestigate. They found the operators waiting to be rescued. With the as sistapce of 300 Greeks, who were in work cars up the road a short distance the mother bear was driven off. after having disarranged the schedule of MT. Harriman's railroad for hundreds of miles east and west.

YUMA COUNTY IS NOW IN SECOND
 CLASS
Means An Advance In Salary To All Officers Except the Assessor Who Has to Give Up Fees of Office.

PHOENIX. June z0.-Adyancing from third to second class after hay ing been in the third class only one year, is the surprising and enviable record made by Yuma county the last twelve months.
 To have attained this rank it was necessary that the county show an as sessed valuation of $2,500,000. When Captain c. V Meeden, county assess or, returned his books to the offices of J. N. Polhamus. county recorder, yesterday. the total valuation was $2,- 563,0 ,000, or s63,0O0 more than is re- quired to make the second class. Sev. eral county officials will henceforth draw an increase of salary as the re suit.
 Captain Meeden himself does not get an increase. His salary is raised from Si200 to $500 per annum, but this means $15O0 straight, whereas under the laws governing counties of the third class he was not only paid S1200 salary, but was allowed fee of , per cent on all personal property taxed.
 George Nicholson, county treasur- CT; r. T. Robertson, district attor- heS- anu J- h. GOuiTs!, pIDDdle JuuSt, each come in for a raise of $500 a year by the county's forward step. The members of the beard of super visors is the county board of equaliza- tion and the board may make some changes. but no change is likely to be made which will alter the results as far as changing the county's classi- hcation is concerned.
 One gratifying thing in connection with this advancement lies in the fact that the increase is general and is not due to the higher valuation of mines. Last year the mine taxation was s25,000. and this year it is only s74,o00, A general increase of values along all ines has brought the county to its new importance. Until last year it had been in the fourth class.

Hunters In Church.

The hunt of Saint Hubert at Rallye-
Chambly, France,-the seat Of Prince
Murat-is especially interesting, owing
to an ancient custom having been
revived and still kept up. Every year
there is a grand mass held at the
church, which is brilliantly illumin-
ated for the occasion. The whippers-
in and the whole hunting establish
ment, wearing the livery of the house,
which is red, with tricorne hats en-
broidered with gold, ranged down the
nave At the elevation of the host
the men sound their horns and the
priest solemnly blesses the hunt. This
is quite a grand fete.
One can family imagine the pictur-
esque tout ensemble of this scene, not
only the dogs, riders and beautiful
horses but the magnificent carriages,
with the most fashionably dressed la
dies, and the chic fnpromptu lunches.
All very fascinating, accompanied with
tie ight-heartedness of spirit and SIM
pie grace of the aristocratic French
woman 1t is sight that fingers long
in the memory, so instinct with charm
and beauty is it.-Gentlewoman.

Cemetery Watch Houses.

Some workmen were tearing down
little stone hut in the corner of the
cemetery.
This is one of the few of the GENE
terry watch houses" said the superin-
tendent, left in America. With it's
disappearance only the Vermont ones
will remain.
Cemetery watch houses were built
to prevent body snatching. Body
snatching in the past, you know, was
a very common crime. The watchers
in the watch houses caught many a
body snatcher crouched in a grave
feverishly hacking open a coffin by his
lanterns yellow light.
Nowadays physicians get their
cadavers legally and body snatching
is an obsolete crime. But here and

days when your mothers corpse was
not safe"

S0L0NS ADJOURN TILL FALL
ILLINOIS LEGISLATORS POST.
PONE WATERWAY FIGHT.
May Take Power from Both Canal
and Private Interests When
Body Rsconvenes.

Springfield, ILL.,, May 1.-THE forty
fifth general assembly Thursday took
a recess until October 8, when it is
planned to resume consideration of
the pending deep waterway issues.
If there is any legislation at all
when the assembly reconvenes it is
predicted that it will be bona fide wa
ter way legislation and that the pow
er question will be taken out of the
discussion by the attitude of the leg
islators on behalf Of the whole state.
Thus far the question of water power
rates and privileges has proved the
stumbling block. To be exact, it has
been the excuse for the measure in
troduced at the eleventh hour by the
sanitary district of Chicago, it is
charged, and also has been the source
of opposition from Joliet.
The country members have shown
a disposition to take the water power
away from both the district and pri-
vate interests. A bill to accomplish
this through commission, intro
duced by Senator Schmitt, is pending
in the senate, as is the Cooley bill,
which also includes state water power
provisions.
The promptness of the sanitary dis
trict officials in agreeing to the pro-
longed recess the minute the move
to make the state @ water power au-
thority was made was hailed by their
opponents as a sign that they cared
little for the waterway without the
power grant.

RossI DIES; CUT OUT TONGUE.
San Francisco Shock Said to Have
Unhinged Singers Mind.

New York, May 17.-Word has been
received in this city of the death in
Milan of Arcangelo Rossi, formerly
with the Metropolitan opera house,
who attempted suicide last week by
cutting out his tongue. He had shown
signs of insanity during his last sea
son at the Metropolitan, and this was
attributed by some to the hardships
he suffered during the earthquake in
San Francisco.
His colleagues believe however that
the loss of his voice caused his mental
breakdown. He was 42 years old, and
had sung for five seasons at the Met
ropolitan.
