About Sweepings
The use of cloths and brooms that
have been dampened will revolutionize
sweeping and busting. BY their use we
may actually take away dust, which
is not accomplished by the ordinary
method. Sweepers expect to raise a
certain amount of dust and regard
quite complacently the gray cloud sur
rounding them. How unnecessary,
when, by wringing out cloth or mop
over a dusty rug or carpet before
sweeping, one may secure quietly all
the loose dust that otherwise would
fly at the touch of dry broom. This
should be repeated after the mop has
been rinsed clean inNthe hot water
Or. If we do the sweeping with
broom that has. been wet in hot water
the broom first having been beaten
nearly dry, almost no dust will arise.
This preliminary dampening of dust
or lint with a mop or broom rolls it
into wads. which can be taken up and
burned. After this. the rest of the
sweeping process is a pleasure. and
the rug or carpet not only looks clean
but is truly clean.
The oftener we rinse the broom in
hot water, the better tile result, since
the broom talks up all the dust it can
hold very quickly. Running hot water
direct from the faucet cleans the
broom easily and quickly, but care
must be taken not to allow threads or
hairs from the broom to get into the
pipes. They should be removed before
each rinsing. Where there is no run
ming water, pals or tubs may be used,
and the water should be frequently

as to give the people of their district a

and with cloths wrung dry from hot
water will well repay us. A piece of
old, soft cheesecloth. which has been
sprinkled with hot water by means of
whisk broom, or better still, damp
ened with steam, may be safely used
for busting delicate books, photo

couch covers, wall paper, and. in fact,
most of the things in any room. 1t
may be done very quickly, indeed as
often as we wish, and without upset
ting the room any more than we
choose.
It is clear that the more dust we
can take out without scattering. the
less will be left to settle down again.
We are all familiar with the appearance
of rooms after the sweeping and con-
sequent busting by the dry process.
The damp method should be valued.
not only because it improves the ap-
pearance. but also because 1t saves
labor for busy women who must some
times put house cleaning second to
other occupations. In this way we
gain freshness and longer respite
from the untidy, unrestful, nagging
effect of rooms calling for attention.

TRAVELLING MAN KILLED.
William G. Rudd, i'm Auto, Struck at
Railroad Crossing.

Greenwood June 2S.-William G..
Rudd, prominent young business
man of this place, was practically In
stantly killed about noon to-day at
Salak, three miles west Of here, as a
result of having his automobile
struck by the west-bound vestibule
of, the Seaboard From all reports
it appears that Mr.. Rudd was not in
the automobile at the time, having
jumped out, and was probably try
ing to save the machine. He was on
the wrong side, however, the auto
mobile being between him and the
approaching train and when the au-
tomobile was struck by the engine,
1t in turn was hurled forward on Mr..
Rudd, killing him almost instantly.
There was one eyewitness, Mrs.
knight Malone. She was sitting on
her front piazza several hundred
yards from the place where Mr..
Rudd was killed, and was watching
him as he drove along. The cross
ing over the railroad there Is bad,
there being Slight depression be-
tween the tracks, made by the
wagons, and there is always a slight
difficulty in getting over. Mrs. Ma
lone saw the train and saw Mr..
Rudd drive his machine on the cross
ing and then 1T stopped. 1t Is sup
posed that there was some impedi-
ment and that he 50 " he could not
get the machine ovel in time to save
1t from the coming fast train. One
report says some negroes saw him
pulling at the machine. However, he
had the machine between himself
and the train, and when the engine
crashed into the automobile it was
thrown forward, striking him and
causing his death. The train was
stopped and Mr.. Rudd taken on and
carried to Abbeville in the hope that
he might survive, but he died on the
\ train on the way to Abbevil.e. He
was brought back on the next train

st. Michaels, Md, June 25.-The
last tragic chapter in story of
crime unparalleled in this section of
the country was written in the half

heartless murder Of pretty little May
Edith Thompson Woodill-a spectre

posse Of determined, relentless pur-
suers-stood for a moment facing
the men who had cornered him on

would carry him to landing place
where flight might be possible,

with his going there vanished the
hope of clearing up the motives and
battling details of this strange trag-
edy.

body, addressed to Miss Winnie Brad

York, gave Eastman's ill-sustained
excuse for the crime. 1t was q
rambling accoust Of how he had been
out In launch with party of men
and women, all of whom had been
drinking to excess with the eXcep-
ton OF himself and Mrs. Woodill and
how one Of the women in a fit of
jealous frenzy had attacked Mrs.
Woodill with a wine bottle and kill
ed her; how the remainder of the
party had taken flight, leaving him
to dispose Of the body, and how as a
means Of escape from all his troubles
the writer had decided to end his
life.
Eastman asked Miss Bradcome to
hurry to Maryland to take charge of
his body and his property.

him instead. The girls foster bro

who farms land near Cayuse station
on the reservation. was on his way
home, and when near Adams two men
suddenly stepped from the roadside
and ordered Mr.. Kidder 10 produce
what ducats be might be possessed of,
and do it quick. While parleying on
the financial proposition, Ed dropped
his watch, with two OF three dollars,
to the bottom of the wagon where it
remained till after the departure of
the desperadoes. They then went
through his clothes but finding no
money they ordered him to drive them
to Cayuse station, and as that point
was on his way home he readily COM
piled. Ed was very fortunate. he
having lett over $400 in Athena just
before leaving. He is convinced the
robbers were amateurs.

SPONOGLE'S ARREST
Walla Walla Police Nab Athena Dem
tist, Who Afterward F0rfeits
One Hundred Dollars Bail

DR.. J. R. Sponogle. the dentist. has
again furnished sensation for Athe-
ma. He was arrested at Walla Walla
last Friday night in private lodging
house where he was found in company
with Miss Anna Bergevin, a daughter
of John Bergevin who resides on the
reservation south of town.
Sponogle and the girl have been
keeping company for the past two
years and over year ago damage
suit was brought against the dentist
by the girls father. The case was
quashed out of court and the couple
have been going together since.
Sponogle's arrest at Walla Walla
followed after investig alton on the
part of Louis Bergevin, who by the
way is no relative of the girl in ques-
tion, and two other Athena men. The
three men accompanied by two police
men, located Sp,nogle and the girl in
a rooming house, and the dentist was
placed in Jail. The girl was taken to
police headquarters but was allowed
to 60.
Sponogle was placed under 500
bonds to appear in court Monday
morning. He furnished the bonds but
failed to appear, and unless Louis Ber
gevin, the prosecuting witness. sees
fit to push the matter, the case will
probably rest as it is. Sponogle is in
Athena and his 500 is with the Walla
Walla court.
The landlady of the rooming house
in which the couple was found, stated
that Sponogle asked for room for
himself and wife when he rented the
apartment.
The Press is requested by Louis
Bergevin tc state that Anna Bergevin
is in no way related to him and that
his family has been considerably an
noyed by the rumor to the effect that
the girl is his daug hter.
