.CRkzEO, SHE RIDES
At ABYSS FULL TILT
SURGERY ON BANQUET TABLE
SAVES MISS RUSSELL FROM
SUICIDES DEATH.

PITTSBURG. Aug. 1S.-Lying on
Beechwood boulevard, at the edge OF
precipice. the unconscious body OF
a good-looking young woman was
found by Congressman James Francis
Burke and several friends. Standing
near by, quivering in every limb was
a riderless horse, and 1t was 1T hrst
supposed that the young woman. who
was dressed in riding habit, had met
with an accident.
She was hurriedly lifted into the
automobile in which the party was
riding, and record run was made 10
the Country club. There, on table
in the dining room, DR.. J. II. William
son, who was among the guests gath
cred for a banquet, worked over inc
girl for two hours before he brought
her back TO consciousness. Society
men and women, ia evening dress,
acted as nurses. and several or them
had their clothes splattered with
blood. which streamed from several
wounds on the girls head.
From a note found In her dress 1t
was learned that the Fgirl was Miss
Elizabeth Russell. aged "a years,
daughter OF j. w. Russell. OF Home
stead. From this note, which was ad-
dressed to her mother. and also from
her rambling talk, II was learned that
tine girl had attempted suicide.
She had selected remarkable way
to end her life. Seating herself In the
saddle. astride her favorite riding
horse. Miss Russell had whipped the
animal into mad gallop. Then at
the edge Of precipice she had plung-
ed head foremost from the galloping
animal Instead OF going over the
precipice, however, she struck with
her head against a stone wall. She
sustained several terrible cuts. and
her skull is fractured. but prompt
work on the part OF the banqueters
at the Country club unquestionably
saved her life.
The only motive known for Miss
Russell attempting the deed was that
she had quarreled with her mother.

serve five years any to have life tenure
provided their management proves sat-
isfactory. The Idea is to so fetter the
organization that no person or interest
can legally interfere with the conduct
or policy Of the so newspapers.
Profits Of the syndicate it is proposed
to apply exclusively to the develop
ment of the papers and the advance
ment of humanitarian work, the orig
inal subscribers each to receive their
money back in the form Of subscriptions.
Managing editors, under the plan, will
be required to shift annually from one
paper to another, in this manner ac-
curing comprehensive knowledge Of
the needs of the country. The idea
contemplates an absolutely free press,
not designed to make money, but to
accomplish great reforms.
The plan in detail has been sub
mitted to President Samuel Gompers
who is thought may present it to the
convention with his approval.

Some thirty days ago man by the
name Of o. E. Kenyon, from Spokone,
bought the old John Schmidt place, on
Eagle creek. Mr.. Kenyon called at The
Echo Office this week and said it was
his purpose to make extensive improve
ments in the place. He will if he finds
it possible set out this fall ten acres in
apple trees. He wants four hundred
calves to consume the hay raised on
the ranch. He is spending some time
here, having been here for the past
month and will remain until near the
first Of the year. His brother, Ira A.
Kenyon will then take charge, although
he says he bought the place for his
young son who is now attending Wash
ington University. The Schmidt ranch
is one Of the finest in the county. Up
to the present time is has been devoted
almost entirely to producing timothy
hay.

consider a plan which proposes that
1000, 900 members of the federation
contribute $12, payable in monthly
installments, to a fund approximating
s24, 900, 900, with which to establish
chain of so daily newspapers on the

country. 1t is proposed to make each
plant complete, with job printing

telegraph and telephone lines, news
being interchanged.
The scheme contemplates the or

Excellent Dandruff Lotion

A hair tonic which is excellent when
bothered by dandruff, is made of FIVE
ounces of bay rum, half an ounce of
tincture of cantharides, and half an
ounce Of glycerin. This should be ap-
piled to the scalp every night before
going to bed. 1t is well to remember
in applying any tonic to the scalp that
it is not so much the amount you spat
on your scalp that counts as it is the
amount you force your pores to absorb.
II you will stroke and spat the scalp
gently you will notice that it will
respond to the treatment and absorb
more Of the liquid than if you merely
wet the scalp thoroughly and permit
the solution to soak in and dry.

Making Bran Water

Put handful Of wheat bran into a
pan with one pint Of cold water. Boil
gently for half an hour, then strain and
add another pint Of warm water. Add
melted soap to this preparation if the
clothes are greasy or dirty and squeeze
and knead them only. Do not rub, as
this will cause colors to run and soften.
Bran water gives a good deal Of stiff
ness to the clothes washed in it, and if
they are not to be stiffened they should
be rinsed in salt and water.

How to Keep Water Cool


Having tried it, recommend the
following mode of keeping ice water
for long time in common pitcher,
says a writer in Woman's Home Com
panion for July. place between two
sheets of thick brown paper a layer Of
cotton batting about half an inch in
thickness; fasten the ends of the paper
and batting together, forming circle,
then sew or paste a crown over one
end, making box the shape of a
stovepipe hat minus the rim. Place
this over an ordinary pitcher filed with
water, making it deep enough to rest
on the table so as to exclude the air,
and you will be astonished to see the
length of time that the ice will keep
and the water remain cold after all the
ice has melted"

EPIDEMIC OF LAW BREAKING |
Marshal Bohnsack Does a Good Stroke
of Detective Work

Marshall Bohnsack did a bit of
clever detective work one day last
week. He observed three suspicious
characters about town last Thursday
afternoon on whom he kept his eagle
eye. Their movements did not look
good, he says. He saw them hang
ing around the rear Of the Thos. Burke
building. Secreting himself in an
upper room in an adjoining building
he had not long to wait until they
pried up a window and entered room
occupied by Mr.. Burke, who was in
Seattle at the time. When they
emerged they were heavily loaded with
clothing and other property hastily
packed in an old sack. 1t was but
the work of a moment, for Mr.. Bohn-
sack to overhaul the trio with the
stolen plumber in their possession.
They were arraigned before Justice
Taylor the following morning and
placed under $500 bond each, failing
to give which, they were taken to We
natchee last Friday and will undoubt-
edly do time in Walla Walla after the
next meeting of the Superior court.
They gave their names as Frank
Reid, c. Weiland and Harry Cox.
Their home is not known.
