great pride in this and purchased the

For number of years Schmidt was
the proprietor of the First Exchange
saloon near the Northern Pacific de-
pot, but some months ago the council
revoked his license because of an al
legged infractiOn of the laws.
Had License Revoked.
At this time. Schmidt appealed t.
the Rev. James c. Reid, pastor Of the
First Presbyterian church. to use his
influence to regain his license, Mrs
Schmidt and her children being high
ly respected members of the Presbyte-
rian church
Il investigated the case at the time"
said the Rev. Mr. Reid. this afternoon,
''and being convinced that an injustice
had been done, 1 talked with some of
the members of the council about re-
turning the license, but l was unable
to do anything.
Il never heard a more pitiable appeal
than the one Schmidt made to me. He
begged me to get his license back for
him, saying that the saloon business
was all the way he knew of making
living, and that he had to do some
thing for his family. He said at the
time that if it was not for his boy, he
would commit suicide
Il think that was the beginning Of
his dependency. from which he never
recovered
Schmidt later secured license and
opened up the Crown saloon on North
Fourth street. but this venture was
not successful and he was compelled
to close up about four months agJ.
Since that time. he has been engaged
in selling brewery supplies. on a COM

Schmidt has been in the western part

any considerable number of "willies"

STRAWBERRY
RULES TODAY
BIG CELEBRATION AT MILTON At
TRACTS MANY WALLA WALLA
VISITORS.

Strawberry is king in Milton today
and from the way the crowds left
all day from this city, it is safe to say
the homage rendered him was all that
the most eXacting monarch could de-
mand. Hundreds of people went down
on every interurban train to pay their
respects at the court of the newly
crowned king and the crowd at Milton
where strawberry was enthroned, was
one of the biggest that little city has
ever entertained.
Previous strawberry days have
been successful in Milton, but accord
ing to reports from there today, none
have been so entirely successful as the
present one. Everyone from Walla Wal
la who could possibly get away went
down to participate in the festivities
and from other places as many more
visitors flocked in.
Strawberries. cream and cake, were
the principal attractions, although
there was some speechmaking. No one
thought of listening to any talks how
ever until the hospitality of Milton
had been thoroughly sampled AMI
found true to report. This afternoon
several addresses We're made and the
crowd was entertained with various
sports. including baseball games and
all kinds of races. The weather was not
all that could be desired, but it was
good enough to permit the assembling
of a record breaking crowd and
everyone enjoyed himself in spite Of
the somewhat blustery elements.
A horse show is also one of the at
fractions of the little Oregon city today.
Many horses are entered and there has
never been a better class of animals
exhibited in the northwest than at
Milton today. Liberal prizes were Of
fered for the winners in the various
classes and these served to bring out
the best horsefiesh in the Walla Walla
valley
Strawberry day certainly was a sue
cess and the people of that city and vi
cinity are to be complimented upon
the enterprise in maintaining the year
Iv event which brings much advertising
upon them and the country surround
ing.

ELECTION ON
IN GEORGIA
DEMOCRATIC PRIMARIES TODAY
WILL DETERMINE NEXT
GOVERNORSHIP.

ATLANTA, Ca, June 4-Whether a
man by the name of Smith or man
who wears the label of Brown Will be
the next governor Of Georgia is the
principle matter to be decided in to-
days battle of ballots, which brings
to a close one of the hottest cam
state, in which prohibition and negro
disfranch. .;ement have been the issues.
At the headquarters of Hoke Smith,
who is seeking to succeed himself as
chief executive of Georgia, reports are
pouring in this morning which indi-
cate an overwhelming victory for the
Smith clan in today's primaries. The
supporters of Joseph NJ. Brown, Smiths
opponent for governor, are equally
clamOrous of victory. On the face or
the returns. the Smiths apparently
have the edge on the Browns, and the
opponent of the valorous Hoke seems
destined to play the part of defeated
candidate in the comedy of What
Happened TO Brown.
The democratic primaries today are
equivalent to an election. since oppos-
ing candidates for any office in the
gift of the sovereign voters of Georgia
have about as much chance as the
prOverbiaI SNOWFALL in the Internal re-
gions. Aside from the governor ana
state treasurer. all the other important
state offices will be nominated without
opposition.
The disfranchisement law, which
has been modelled after the measures
on similar lines adopted in other
states, so as to reach the ignorant
negro voters without interfering with
the franchise of the whites, has passed
the house and senate by the required
ma ioritv. and is now before the people
for ratification. The vote on TINS
will be taken in the gen
eraI election next October, and in that
election negroes as we'll as whites Will
have the right to vote, provided they
have paid their taxes, have registered
and have otherwise conformed to the
for the franchise as they
have existed until now A HldJoli'S
of the total vote cast will be sufficient
:, ratify or defeat the amendment 10
the constitution.

Shocking Tragedy on Incoming Passenger From PaCo This
Mornnq.--WeI Known Former Saloon Man Planned Deed
Because He Was Unable to Support His fam1yroe Let
ters to Friends and Then Slept Through Night Blowing Out
His Brains When Porter Awakened Him.

Because he thought himself unable
10 support his family, Louis Schmidt,
a well known Walla Wallan, this mOrn-
ing, committed suicide in the Pullman
car on the incoming Pasco train. The
tragedy, which occurred at 11:45,
showed every evidence of the most
careful preparation.
Schmidt last night wrote eight let
ters which he gave to the Pullman car
porter to mail, and then went to bed
and to sleep, instructing the porter TO
call him about fifteen minutes before
the train reached Walla Walla. The
porter followed his instructions, and
la few minutes after he responded to
the porters call, Schmidt placed che
muzzle of a 3S-caliber revolver to his
mouth and fired, the shot infiicting a
CHASTITY wound Death was instantan-
eous.
Schmidt had come from Toppenisl
and when he boarded the car last night,
the passengers say he had been drink
ing heavily. He came over on train
No. on the main line, getting on the
Pullman at Pasco There he gave Por-
ter Brown, of the car, eight letters
to mail. To whom they were addressed
the porter was this morning unable
to say.
This morning the porter allowed
Schmidt to sleep until within about 20
minutes of Walla Walla, when ne
awakened him just this side of Osborne
and told him they were nearly In
town
"All right" said Schmidt. I'll get
up in about 10 minutes
Il heard the shot" said the porter
this morning, "but I thought it was
merely torpedo and paid no atten-
ton to it until one of the passengers
came running up to me and told me
that a man 'had shot himself. I
rushed back to the berth and found
Louis dead, with the gun in his hand
and pool of blood around him.
Further questioning elected the fact
from Brown that he and Schmidt were
old acquaintances and that they were
on pretty good terms.
He told me once that he was going
to shoot himself some day said the
porter. Il was talking to him and he
said:
Brown, I am going to kill myself
some day. I'm no good to myself or
to my family, I'm all crippled up and
someday I'm going to put myself away
