ATTEMPT At SUICIDE
Bessie Wooley Attempted to End He,
Troubles by Swallowing Some
Carbolic Acid.

Bessie Wooley. the girl who tried
to run away from home during the
winter and later got as far as Sioux
Falls, tried to commit suicide Thurs
day evening by swallowing carbolic
acid. The girl has been in consider
able trouble the past year and prob
ably thought she would be better of
dead. Wednesday afternoon in COM
pany with her brother and mother
she was at the river picking berries
when she eluded them and did not re-
turn until next morning. It is stated
she told her brother that she had
spent the night with a hired hand on
one of the farms near the river.
Thursday evening she again slipped
away and her father started out to
on horseback to look for her. This
time she was found walking with a
young man on LAWYER street. Mr..
Wooley could not handle both of
them and was forced to let her COM
lpanion go. She then took a swallow
HEW
of the acid from a bottle which she
had and which her father did not
notice till he detected the odor and
felt the burn of some on his hand.
She commenced to scream and on
reaching home tainted inside the
door. DIR. Dundas was called and
worked over her till she was out of
danger. Her neck and face were quite
badly burned but very little of the
chemical was swallowed. On account
Of her disposition it is probable that
the girl vii be sent to the industrial
school at Plankinton. Her brother is
also incorrigible and may be sent to
the same place.

PAID LOSS PROMPTLY
Home Guardians Receive Two Letters
of Endorsement for Their Prompt
Payment of Claims

The Home Guardian Lodge of this
city was called upon recently to
mourn the loss of one of its members
Mrs. Minnie E. Brown.
Mrs. Brown had been a member OF
the lodge from the date of its organ
izatton and will be greatly missed by
every member.
tihe adjustment was made as soon
as possible after proofs of loss were
received but as there was a guardian
to appoint for one of the benef1ciaries
she being a minor, the payment was
not made as soon as it would have
been had this legal proceedings not
been necessary. Mrs. Brown carried
a $1,000 policy in the Order.
The Guardians hold the record for
prompt payment OF losses and when
presenting the drafts for payment of
the claims to the proper parties the
following letters Of appreciation were
received:

Unisa otatps Marine Baad Comes Dt-

Tor Mitcten Corn Palace

When the United States Marine
band to Mitchell to play the
corn palace engagement it will come
direct from Washington. There was
some idea OF the band stopping at
n or two points, either Chicago and
Minneapolis to break the long jour
ney. This, however, has been done
away with and the great band will
come to Mitchell direct. That is the
way the corn palace people does
things and anybody in the northwest
who wants to hear this famous band
will have to come to Mitchell at that
time To- hear it.
Secretary Ness has been negotiat-
ing for the band for some time, and.
IN has5entailed a great deal Of red
tape--much correspondence having
already ensued to get the proposition
started In the right way. Senator
Gamble has been Of great benefit by
his personal work in Washington,
and has made several calls on the sec
rotary Of the navy in order to move
slthing1 along rapidly. The senator
las inst; written q letter to Secretary
Me- wherein he says that matters
hAve progressed to the point where
the secretary Of the navy has consent
ed TO grant the band a furlough of
sufficient length to let 1t come to
Mitchell and play the corr palace en-
gagement. and this has been the great
stumbling block OF the whole bust
ness. The secretary of the Navy
informed Senator Gamble that the
Marine Band had two dates during
tho COZ palace week, IN to play at
the white House and the other at
the Capitol. These dates have been
Scancelled In order that the band
might make the trip. The Secretary
Wast explained the Importance and OBJ
sject 81 the cor palace and what it
did q advertise this great state, and
Ssunler those circumstances he con-
Bssntsa 90 the arrangements being

FLOOD OF BAD CHECKS

| James HI. Crandall did a land Of

half dozen Gate City merchants and
business men with worthless checks
drawn on mythical bank account in

North First avenue barber, cashed
two of Crandall's checks, giving $40

paper. Crandall told Stowell that he
had $1,000 on deposit in the Shelley
bank. A phone message to that in
stitution revealed the fact that he
had not one cent on deposit. He
really has $40 to his credit in the
Blackfoot bank, but that was prompt

first checks issued by Crandall.
Crandall was found by Chief Of
Police George w. Smith inside the
Walled City about 8 o'clock last
night.
In response to question from the
chief, Crandall said he came to Poca-

the chief corrected him with the
statement that he came from Shelley,
Crandall saw apparently that the Jig

after firing twice at the fugitive, he
was overtaken in front Of the Harvey

The government exhibits are Of the
greatest interest to the farmer and
the stockmen. One OF the finest dis
plays Ia to be made by the reclama-
ton service. Models of various pro-
jects are to be shown. Dams and
canals will be seen in miniature,
charts will explain every detail of the
construction work and well arranged
displays will show what can be pro-
duced from fertile soil by means Of
irrigation. This, therefore, will be
rare opportunity to study details OF
the work Of the reclamation service
and the first to be offered people Of
the middle west. In addition to the
displays there will be lectures that
will include private projects, as we'll
as those developed under direction Of
government officials.
The department Of agriculture is
to display an unusually complete set
Of models, transparencies, slides.
photographs, etc.
What the bureau OF plant indus
try has done and is doing will be evil
denced by rare plants, trees and
grains never before seen In America.
These things have been found In re-
mote spots OF the old world and are
now being developed for the benefit
Of the farmers.
The bureau Of entomology will ex-
hibit enlarged models OF insects, as
well as large collection of speci-
mems both injurious and beneficial to
crops.
The government will be given all
Of the space necessary to show these
exhibits to the best advantage.
Makers OF appliances and machin-
cry for the farm will have attractive
exhibits. In addition there will be
seen the special machinery needed in
building and maintaining irrigation
projects. The present plan OF using
large traction engines Is comparative
ly new and will be a revelation to the
most experienced farmers of the mid
die west.

Glenns Ferry, Nov. 2EThe first
three miles of the ditch OF the Kings
Hill Extension Irrigation company,
Ltd, was completed yesterday and
! the large contracting forces of the
Slick Bros. Construction company
have been moved to the next station
down the river. Since the contract
for the construction was definitely
awarded to Slick Bros. the work has
been crowded as rapidly as possible
and 1t is now said by the members
of the company that water will be
running through the bitches at least
a month earlier than was expected at
first Several sub contractors have
arrived to take up work on portions
OF the main canal and within another
two weeks construction will be going
on at nearly every point of the ditch.
The contract has also been awarded
| for the lumber for the fumes and
pipes, and the Minneapolis Bridge
company has been given the contract
for the bridge across Snake river
which will carry the large syphon and
this company is under contract to
have the structure complete early In
the spring.
The forces Of the Kings Hill COM
pany have been confined for the last
week to preparations for the opening
November 16. The townsite Is now
laid out, and the acreage tracts ad-
joining the town are divided into
blocks. Work has been started grad
ing and preparing the Riverview
Boulevard, which promises to be a
delightful and scenic drive. The
streets or drives have been laid out
on every forty acre line and the en-
tire tract looks like the plan Of a
great city. The company is making
preparation to plant trees the entire
length Of the boulevard and along
all Of the principal streets.
The selling plan devised on the
acreage tracts is attracting wide
spread attention. Every lot is Of
fered at exactly the same price $1050
of which payment of 1910 will be
required at the time of filing. The
tracts will be put up at Public Draw
ing and the company refuses to allow
a single tract to be sold until after
lthe drawing, thus giving every one
who attends the opening an equal
chance to secure one Of the choicest
of the tracts.
The interest in the Carey Act draw
ing Is said to be greater than any
opening yet held in Idaho. The small
acreage Of public lands and the high
character of the soil accounts for the
great interest. Settlers who filed on
the tract before a Carey Act segrega-
tion was applied for and who have
preference rights for some of the land
under the project have sold their
rights for liberal bonuses in number
OF cases., and the lands offered for
public drawing are of the same char
acter as the lands sold.
The opening of Carey Act lands,
town lots and acreage tracts will be
held at Medbury Nov 16. The regis
tration books will be opened Novem-
Der II. Only those who register prev
ious to the opening will be allowed to
participate in the drawing.

lelation of a new world Of possibilities.
Their horizon will be broadened and
they will receive new inspiration.
Undeveloped districts of all sorts
will be benefited by the exposition.
The possibilities of dry farming will
be shown along with the wonders Of
irrigation and the humid regions will
not be neglected. Even the reclama-
ton of swamp lands is to find place

the general good and the development
of latent agricultural resources.
Every effort Is to be made to make
the exhibits as comprehensive as pos
sible, and the interests behind the
movement are now getting the neces-
sary material together.
Not since the convention Of COVER
nors, summoned to the White House
by President Roosevelt has there been
"a hint OF anything Of equal scope, and
even at the convention the exhibits
were lacking.
| The Land exposition will open at
the same time as the annual Interna-
tional Live Stock exposition, and this
is an important point, as fully 500,-
900 visitors come to Chicago every
year when the prize cattle, horses,
sheep and hogs are on display. With
the double attraction this season, It
will be possible for anyone visiting
Chicago to see in condensed form
practically all that the west and south
have to offer.
| Interest In colonization has never
been as keen as today, and the de-
sire to take advantage OF the agricul-
tural possibilities that are ocered has
resulted in an extraordinary display
OF land hunger" on the part Of the
general public. And the majority of
those in the middle west who are dis
playing this anxiety to Join the move
ment back to the soil realize that they
lack accurate knowledge of the prob
lens of irrigation, dry farming and
the drainage OF overlooked lands. Let
this information be presented in an
attractive manner, and the livest In
terest will be shown.
The home instinct Is strong with

instinct is overruled and the possess
scr thereof lives for years In tiny,
ill-ventilated fiat, or exhausts his vi
tally in an Office; but the feeling
is there nevertheless, and some day
the craving for freedom and a place
that can be called "home" will win
the mastery.
These men will be shown what Ma
ture offers to the one who wishes
to make a home for himself. Practic-
ally every part of the west and south,
of any consequence from the agricul-
tural point Of view, will be represen-
ted by attractive displays and views.
Final arrangements have about been
completed, and 1t is practically GER
tain that the splendid exhibits made
at Seattle by various departments of
the government will be dropped Off at
Chicago on the way back to Wash
ington. The date has been set so
that this can be done easily.

LAND AND IRRIGATION EXPOSE
TION WILL OPEN IN CHI
CAGO THIS FALL

What has the farm to offer?

s. - t4s y +. y
What has the farm to offer?
The reply to this question will be
evident to all who visit the United
State land and irrigation exposition
that Is to take place In the Chicago
Coliseum from Nov. 20 to Dec. A.
The exposition will be the first of it's
kind, and the novelty OF 1t has APP
pealed to all who have heard OF the
plan.
Pledges already given render 1t GER
tain that this display will outclass
any of the shows ever seen in the
Coliseum, which has become famed
as the best place in the middle west
for highclass exhibits. In addition
to complete display of the products
that have brought wealth from the
soil, there are to be specially designed
decorations panoramas and paintings,
all arranged artistically, and these
are to surpass all previous efforts.
The exposition is not to be a mag
nided country fair--it is to be uni
que. Its success is assured beyond
the shadow of doubt.
The initiative for this exposition
came from the numerous railway and
land interests that center In Chicago,
where practically all of the active
colonization agents have established
their headquarters. But in order to
have the idea carried out successfully
on big scale, 1t was necessary to
have guarantees of both money and
publicity, and these have been fur
nished by the Chicago Tribune, which
has promised to use itse influence for
the benefit Of undelevoped sections In
gaining colonists and other aids to
progress.
Primarily the exposition is meant
for those who lack knowledge Of the
wonderful opportunities open to the
settler. There are thousands toiling
in eastern Offices and factories to
whom information Of this sort will
come as blessing, for they are tired
Of their chains, but do not know how
to break them. Other thousands,
coming out of mere curiosity possibly,
will see what home In one Of ma
lures favored spots means and will
plan to join the army that is march
ing westward.
Tourists search out scenic beauties
during their travels, but they are not
the class who remain. 1t often hap
pens that many who would be desira-
able settlers never travel more than
