GAMBLING EXPO sED

Last Monday Afternoon party
met At the Log Cabin dive on
Third avenue and engaged in play
ing poker until about six O'Clock.
Those engaged in the game were
Frank Day, Ed Alternately, Frank
Shea and Bob Peterson. 1t seems
that Peterson had the key to the
cabin and acted as banker.
At the close of the game, Mr..
Alternately went home in dazed
condition and told his brother
Frank that he had been slugged
by q big fellow, and shortly after
became crazed, and all during that
night he was out of his right mind.
His check book showed that he
had given two checks to Frank
Day. one for $25, and the other
for $50. Frank Alternately re-
ported to the bank and the pay
insot Of the checks was stopped.
During his spells of partial con-
sciousness, Ed would talk of the
big fellow who slugged him.
Tuesday the prosecuting attor-
ney came down from Creole and
warrants were issued for the arrest
Of Day and Peterson charged with
gambling, and also with the assault.
Wednesday the case Of gambling
was heard before Justice Cornville.
Frank Alternately testified as to
bis brothers condition when he
came home, and Of finding his
check book which the stubs showed
the issue Of the two checks to Day J;
that he came down town the next
morning and met Day on Fassstt's
corner. Day wanted his $50 check
oashsd, having in the meantime
disposed of the Us check, which
was altesward returned to Day and
oashed by him. Day said to Frank
that the $50 check was for q simple
game u poker and when Frank
Refused to honor it, Day offered to
discount II one-half.
Peterson was inclined to "turi,
states evidence" saying he had a

NEW YORK, Sept. 30.-A power

who is state commissioner of chart

having defeated her nearest male
competitor for that office by 1000
votes. Addressing the Women's
Trade Union league. Miss Barnard
told in the following words why
she had become a woman suffrag-
list:
i've been a suffragist for only
six months" she said, land it is
your horrid conditions here that
have made me one. 1t is your long
blocks and your fallen women and
the old, haggard faces of your chill
dren. In Oklahoma the men will
give us rights, but here it seems
you must have a vote to get any
thing.
1T is a dreadful thing" Miss Bar
nard continued, Ito think of the
sorrows of woman kind. Fifty
thousand women have just been

under our church caves, and we
won't even go among them to pray.
IF we cared anything for our sis
ters who are dying, we would have
our churches in the tenderloin. But
the average favored woman can't
see these things. The great prob
lem of the age is to get her to see
1t, but don't know how to do it.
We stand here and imagine we

Annie T. Kelleher, sister-in-law;
died March 1, 1906, aged 81. Cause,

Stephen Kelleher, husband; died
May l, 1906, aged 43. Cause, lobar
pneumonia, exhaustion.
Mary Kelleher. daughter; died
November IL, 1906, aged years.
Cause, capillary bronchitis, tonsi
litis.
Willie Kelleher, son; died Janu.
airy IA, 1908, aged 8 years. Cause,
aortic stenosis. ~
Catherine Kelleher, daughter;
died July %, aged IL years. Cause,
ptomaine poisoning. Ill five days,
according to the certificate.
The only child of Mrs. Kelleher
now living in Thomas, years old,
who somehow escaped fatal dose.
After an arrest for arson, Mrs.
Kelleher was secretly indicted last
March for murder. ELIMINATION and
analysis at that time of the bodies
of her sister-in-law and her chill
dren showed that every one was
literally loaded with arsenic. Re-
Gently the bodies of her husband
and sister were also exhumed and
their viscera are now in the hands
of Professor Whitney of the Har-
ward Medical college.
BY orders of District Attorney j.
j. Higgins, the report of the chem
lists on their findings in the last
two cases must be placed in his
hands at once so that the Mid
dlesex county grand jury may In
dict on still two further counts,
making siv in all. Should this be
done this mild-faced old woman
will face trial this month charged
with more capital crimes probably
than any woman since the days Of
LucreZia Borgia.
Not the least peculiar feature of
the whole mystery Is the attitude
of the woman herself. In Cambridge
Jail, where she has been since last
spring, Mrs. Kelleher Is a model
prisoner. She goes about her pris-
on duties stolidly and quietly, and
from the day of her arrest has
steadily maintained her innocence
of any hand in the deaths of her
family.
But not word will she say of
where the money went, not an iota
of explanation of any sort will she
give. Convicted or unconvictedJ
there is every likelihood-so far as
she herself is concerned-that the
epidemic of death which swept
away her husband, her sister, her
sister-in-law and her children wilE
forever remain a mystery.

Orpheum this week will live on

take the opportunity to witness
what is declared to be one Of the
best of its kind seen on the vaude-
vile stage this season. There are
number Of acts which are fea-
lures, stars in themselves, and
have proved their worth during
the present season throughout the
circuit. Mile. Bianci, the French
dancer, has made a distinct hit
wherever she has danced. The act
is novel, spectacular and the &C.
companying music helps wonder
fully to make the act in a class of
its own.

occasions to tell the press repre-
sentative Of the company not to
bill her as signora, signorita or
MILE, nor any other foreign titles
plain miss for hers! This slang ex-
preston, of course, is the agents
mode of expressing it-not the
lady's, oh, no! However, after Miss
Strauss had completed her musical
education in Italy and made her
debut, that every debutant looks
forward to, she was engaged for a
season by the International Grand

Can't Do II.

Contest Editor-Answering the
question fairly, compile cannot live
on SIS per week. Technically, can
live here on 81 and the other half
can live some other place on the
Sill; or they may exist, do not
say how long, on bread and water.
But it should mean a starter in life,
and will it last, with the average
mistakes and misfortunes, such as
death, typhoid fever, sprained
wrists, torn dresse, broken glasses,
etc. And people owning property;
that people would not slur or sniff
at the borrowing OF paper after it
is read, or at their clothes and
fashions, should not be considered.
A couple should not spend their
Sundays in walking to the park
with bag of peanuts or standing
under some window listening to
the piano. 1t may furnish rent,
fuel, plain clothing and food; but
according to tn egreat odds of more
necessaries, such hero would soon
be like the dog with bone
crowded out. If there is any couple
who has lived in Spokane very long
on SIS per week it was because
they did not have the necessaries
to take them out. G. P. B.
