Lady Cooks career has been
spectacular in the extreme. 1t has
bristled with unusual situations.
Nothing she might do would sur
prise those who remember her best.
Her latest departure really savors
of the commonplace.
Born to an inheritance of poverty
in, the little town of Homer, O., she
began life with nothing of promise
but her beauty. With her sister,
Victoria, exceptionally gifted with
brains, she began a career as a
spiritualist. In year and a half
they realized 100000 and came to
New York to open a brokers' Office
in Wall st.
. AS they had startled the coun-
try with their alleged spiritualistic
revelations. SO they thrilled Wall
ST.. with their speculations, and
shocked the morals of the East
with their advocacy OF the doctrine
Of free love and the effrontery with
which Tennessee practiced it.

AMATEURS GREAT
SLuCCER

The amateur league opened at
Recreation park yesterday with
two great games, both resulting in
similar scores. The first between
the s. A. A. c. and Browns Phar-
macy resulted in victory for the
former by a score of 6 to 4. Doc.
Callahan. who carries about 300
pounds around with him, pitched
for the athletes and gave a good
account of himself with merely
nine hits that were secured from
his delivery by the pharmaceutical
bunch.
The Hazelwoods and the Red.
White & Blues tangled in the sec
ond game and the latter won 6 to
4. The Blues only secured IS hits
off Davis of the Hazelwoods. But
imagine the fielding that occurred
to hold them down to six runs with
that many hits.

TRAGEDY Marks
SPOKANE MAN

John Davis, the wealthy Seattle
real estate dealer whose bride Of
six months committed suicide last
Thursday night, is a. former Spo-
kane man, being son of A. L.
Davis, a pioneer of this city. JOHN
Davis went to Seattle in the early
nineties and got foothold in the
real estate business while Seattk
was yet a comparatively small
city. Davis did not marry until
|past the meridian of middle life,
His bride, Miss Marliotta Myers OF
San Francisco, was a former Seat
tie girl whose friends said she had
made a good match when she mar
ried Davis.
The newly welded couple left on
tour of the world after their mar
riage and were called home from
London about a month ago by the
serious illness of Mrs. Davis
mother. The young bride seemed
greatly worried over the condition
of her mother, who underwent a
severe operation a few, days be-
fore Mrs. Davis suicide. and this
is the only cause to which her un-
timely end can be attributed.
Her husband had left her for an
hour after the evening meal to go
to his office. During his absence
Mrs. Davis sent a Japanese porter
at the hotel where they had apart
ments to a pharmacy for small
bottle of carbolic acid. She had
ouaffed the deadly draught and was
pale and weak when her husband
returned She told him what she
had done and pointed to the empty
bottle.
At first Davis did not grasp the
situation and thought his wife
was merely jesting. Directly a
doctor. who had been summoned
| by Mrs. Davis herself, came and
administered all possible relief but
to no avail, as death came four
hours after taking the poison.

given out that Fairbanks would
take the stump for Taft. Every
body here knows that the vice pres
ident does not fancy his prospec-
tive return to private life. He is
rich and fond of society. Some of
the prophets figure that Taft will
give him a high diplomatic post,
which will give him a pleasant
berth until the way is open for an
attempt to break into the senate
again.
Hanly has cherished hatred
toward Senator Beyeridge because
the latter defeated him in race
for the senate. The Beveridge fac
ton have succeeded in keeping

Governor Hanly's sensational &C.

politicians like charge of dyna-

Governor Hanly's position here is

hostile, and the party bosses are
dead set against him.
Hughes called special session
on the troublesome race track bill
over the bitter protests of practi-
cally all the party leaders.
Hanly has called special ses-
sion on the county local option bill,
than which nothing could cause
more worry to the politicians, and
he did it contrary to the protests
and appeals of the state leaders.
