Matthews Again.

On the third page of this issue will
be found an account of the attempted
suicide of ST. Clair Matthews, late of
this city. We rather thought we had
heard the last of Matthews but from
the following clipping from Thursday
evenings Salina Journal we see that
Matthews is at his same old tricks:
st. Clair Matthews of Ellsworth who
attempted to commit suicide there
Sunday night by taking eighteen grains
of morphine, was in Salina yesterday.
Friends of Matthews in this city say
that he contracted the morphine habit
a few years ago while i'll, when he was
given morphine repeatedly. Since
then he has been unable to break away
from the habit, although he has taken
cure once.
His mission to Salina yesterday was
to try to secure money if possible, with
which to try the cure again. While at
Hays City Matthews was minister in
the Baptist church there and is said to
be an especially bright man.

obituary-Mrs. Victor Holm.

Mrs Victor Holm who died at hel
home III this city last Thursday even
ing, January 23rd, was born in this
city November 21st, 1881. Her maid
en- name was Jessie Ray Wolfe and she
was the second daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. ]. D. Wolfe She received her
early training here and was educated
in the Hays Public Schools She was
married to Mr. Victor Holm, formerly
of Salina, on the 9Th day of June 1906.
On December 81, 1907 she gave birth
to a baby girl. Complications set in,
which at the time, were not considered
serious and Mrs. Holm was able to sit
up on New Years Day. She was
shortly after taken sick again and
never recovered. Death claimed its
victim at $50 o'clock on Thursday
evening.
Mrs. Holm will be much missed by
the entire community, and especially
by her girlhood friends, among whom
she was an especial favorite. Her
husband and immediate family have
the sympathy of all in their great loss.
Funeral services were conducted by
Rev. West in the Lutheran Church
Sunday afternoon at o'clock. The
floral tributes were as numerous as
they were beautiful.
Mr.. and Mrs. Wolfe were both here
before the death of their daughter but
her younger brother Leonard did not
arrive until Sunday morning. Mr.. and
Mrs. Wolfe will remain here and Miss
Daisy Wolfe, elder sister of the de-
ceased, will come on soon from Seattle,
Washington. Richard Wolfe, another
brother of the late Mrs. Holm is work
ing at Los Angeles and was also unable
to get home for the funeral.

Normal Notes

The Normal needs paper of its own.
Even many little High Schools boast of
paper and it stands to reason that a
school with the representation and
large enrolment such as the Normal
has could certainly support a paper of
ordinary merit. Persons who have
been enrolled here at some time, and
most assuredly the present student
body snd friends of the institution
would be greatly interested in it. Let
US hope that in the near future there
will be such a thing as a Western Nor
NAL paper.
