WILL ISSUE BONDS.
Newberry Keeps Abreast in Her
School Affairs.

Newberry, March 24.-Special: In
an election here today on the ques-
ton Of issuing $4,000 Of forty-year
bonds for the enlargement and bet
ter equipment Of the city school sys-
tenn, the vote stood 172 for the
bonds and 95 against. The vote also
carries with it an additional special
levy of two mills for maintenance.
This will permit Newberry to make
her school system second to none
in the State. The city has outgrown
the present equipment and Is greatly
in need of additional buildings. 1t
is hoped to have the buildings ready
for occupancy at the opening Of the
next session. Two additional build
ings will probably be erected and a
thorough system will be establihed
including the high school. The re-
suit Of this election means much
for Newberry.

MURDER AND SUICIDE
MRS. CULBERTsON TOOK HER
OWN LIFE AFTER
Arranging Dramatic Situation
Calculated to Throw Suspicion on
Another Woman.

Another Woman.
Vincennes, Ind, March 26.-Mrs.
Jessie Lee Overton Culbertson, young
woman Of mystery, bride Of three
months, was not murdered. She
slew herself after arranging an ar
tistically dramatic situation to throw
the murder on another woman. Her
husband and relatives tearfully ack-
nowledged today that their suspicious
that she was killed at the instiga+ion
Of another woman for jealous re-
venge were unfounded.
The body Of a miniature skeleton,
which had been attached to skull
found in the pocket Of Mrs. Culbert-
sons apron when she was discover
ed gagged in shed near her home,
last Wednesday, after swallowing car
bolic acid, was found iate today near
the shed beneath a Pile Of debris.
This toy skeleton Mrs. Culbertson
had in her possession months ago.
Proof that the suicide wrote the
anonymous threatening letters to
herself was also established today.
A letter she wrote to her husband
at Bridgeport, ILL.,, is inscribed on
stationery just like that on which
was penned the anonyomus notes.
When the water mark Of the let
ter was shown to the husband and
his parents they asserted their belief
that no murder had been committed.
1t was Miss Eta Longwell of Chi
cago, formerly Of Vineennes, whom
the Culbertson charged with causing
the death of Mrs. Calpertson. Now
they wish it made plain that they
were mistaken.
Her name should be cleared by
all means" said Culbertson. II can
not understand why Jessie should
kill herself. She was strange,
though, now that all this has hap
pened to recall many things. She
never would tell me about her past.
She said her father and mother were
dead. have heard that she former
ly lived in Waco, Texas, and in Dub
lin, Texas, where she Is said to have
had brother. I have tried to COM
municate with relatives but can not
get any word from them"

PIttsburg, March 25.-A confer
ence is being held here at the Office
of Detective Perkins by Chief Of Po-
lice Grain, Of Sharon, and Sheriff
Chess, Of Mercer county, as to the
next move to be made in the Whitla
kidnapping case.
James Boyle and his wife, the
alleged abductors, who were brought
to the Allegheny county Jail from
Cleveland last evening enjoyed a
good nights rest.
1t has not been decided whether
the Boyles will be taken to Mercer.
Pa, today or tomorrow. The woman
Is apparently unconcerned regarding
the serious trouble she is now in.
After a conference by the Mercer
and Allegheny authorities, it was de-
cided to take James Boyles to Mer-
Ger at o'clock, but detain Mrs.
Boyle here, as there are no accom-
modations for women prisoners in
the Mercer jail.
Former District Attorney Coch-
ran, Of Mercer county, counsel for
Mr. Whitla, said that he has evil
denee which wi absolutely connect
j Mrs. Boyle with the Pennsylvania
end Of the kidnapping.

that he is failure in the ministry

in this case it appears from the writ

to Prove Story.

Kansas CITY, March 26.-Jules
Buermann, constable Of Meranee
township, and storekeeper in Ell

that shortly after he went inside he
noticed feathers flying through the
air. A second later three ducks
broke through his display window
and lay breathless on the floor.
Buermann says all he had to do was
draw the ducks and cook them.
After the storm had passed he found
two more picked ducks on the ,Sarbed
wire fence in the rear of his store.
They too were lacking of all feath-
erS.

NO MORE INDIAN HEAD PENNIES

20 coin Substituted. ~at


Philadelphia, Feb.d'20.--The
United States Mint in this city
win, in few days, destroy the
dies from which the present l
cent pieces are made, and Will
sink the new dies with the
bronze medal design of the head
Of Abraham Lincoln, as ordered
by the Treasury Department sew
eral days ago. The familiar In
dian head on the present penny
was made many years ago from
portrait of Mary Cunningham,
little Philadelphia girl whose
father was an employee of the
mint.
Officials of the mint says that
the pennies are the most habltu.
ally lost coins in all Uncle Sans
fractional currency. While none
of them is retired because of loss
of weight through wear, nearly
all which come into the peoples
possession are from the mintage
of comparatively recent years.
They simply disappear through
a thousand and one different
channels, and never again engage
in their mission as a suitable ex-
change from commodities of
small value. With the retire.
ment of the present'coin the In
dian head penny will, in fewer
years than one would ordinarily
think, be the possession solely
of coin collectors.
