PUT NAMES ON STREETS.

Walla Walla is not so large that
there is any great danger of strangers
becoming lost within the city limits,
but just the same, visitors and new
corners experience great difficulty in
finding street addresses both in the
down town district and the resident
sections. owing to the poor system of
guide signs at the corners. Time was
when each corner bore the name of
the streets but with the rapid growth
of the city this system seems to have
been lost sight of and this neglect is
cause for almost daily uncomplimen-
tary comment from strangers, who, to
find their way, must rely upon the
directions given by chance passersby.
Many of the old street signs are
still in the places where they were
nailed years ago and are now so oh
scure as to be of little use. A name
board tackled onto a house corner
which is hidden from view by trees
or overgrown with vines may serve
the purpose of a trellis but is of no
assistance to the man who is in a
hurry and is looking for an unfamiliar
street address. In some instances
corner houses which have been moved
to new locations still bear the weather
beaten guide boards of former years
to the great inconvenience of those
who are unfamiliar with the map of
Walla Walla. The little city of Mil
ton with its few and short streets has
shown greater enterprise in this mat
ter than has Walla Walla and this
city will do well to follow the example
Of its little neighbor.
Occasionally the stranger has cause
to rejoice when he finds cement walks
bearing the names of the streets anf
this method of labelling the thorough.
fares should be followed where posi-
bic but the time when all street cor.
ueFS VIII nave concrete walks is too
far distant for the adoption of thi
plan exclusively. Walla Walla i
Justly proud Of its streets and ius
now is expanding a quarter of a mil
lion dollars to have them improved
But with all our pride, stranger
have been left to find their way I'm
guided and to believe that we, thong
We boast of our beautiful street:
are ashamed Of their names. TIL
proper labelling of each thoroughfar
should be considered as much an i'm
provement as the matchmaking {
the surface. Some action, looking to
ward a proper lettering of 'all tn
streets should be taken, not next yea
but now, before other visitors ca:
reflections on our ideas of pride an
progress.

TWO MINUTE TITLE TALKS
Your Own Case.

You are interested, we will say, in several tracts of land-a home place, a farm, and town lot.
 Upon what do you rely for security in ownership of this property?
 On one of two things: a warranty deed, or the statute of limitations.
 The first security may vanish with the years and leave you all too soon sus- pended as 1t were i'll midair.
 The second security is last resort. Throwing up your hands in the hope that the enemy's powder is wet.
 Getting an abstract is the first step toward overhaul ing your title if 1t is wrong; and if 1t is all right the ab- stract IS your proof. B AHNER & COMPANY Abstracters Conway, Ark.

BROWNING CLUB SHOCKED.

Miss Josephine Lazarus rather shocked the Browning society in New York recently by declaring that, though Browning loved to write about the east, he did not un- dcrstand it-not in any deep, vital sense. It's soul escaped him, and his poems about Jews were, in fact, just skyscrapers on the edge of the beautiful limitless desert. The la dies all agreed that men are incorri- giblc where Browning is concerned, and one woman said her husband said that when he got through read ing "Sordello' he did not know whether it was a town or a man, or what.

4. I. KIRKPATRICK ENDS LIFE

4. l. MRkPAIRICK tNDS lltE Former Fl Paso Man Shoots Him
 self at Pine Bluff.
 Theory of Disappointment in Love Affair
 with Miss Minnie Hill of Vilonia
 is Said to be Untrue.
 Little Rock, Feb. 2o.-A dis patch from Pine Bluff states that Albert T. Kirkpatrick, formerly of Fl Paso, committed suicide short ly after noon yesterday by shoot ing himself in the forehead with a pistol With deliberate coolness the young man sat down on curb ing at Second avenue and Pine Street in the heart of the business district and while a large number of men and women looked on, placed revolver to his head and fired. He was dead within a few minutes.
 Disappointment in love affair is thought to have prompted the suicide.
 Kirkpatrick evidently planned his tragic act. As he fell back to the concrete sidewalk, three letters which he held i'll one of his hands, dropped beside him. One of them was addressed to s. E. Wihoit, manager of the Orpheo theater, another to Miss Minnie Hill, Vii lonia, Ark, and the third to "To the Public.
 The shot attracted large crowd to the scene and within a few minutes several hundred peo- pie surrounded the lifeless body of the suicide.
 Troubles Too Great to Bear.
 In MT. Wilhoit's letter, which was very brief, Kirkpatrick made the request that Wilhoit "'please see that Minnie gets my watch. I am going to kill myself. My troubles are too great to bear"
 In the letter addressed to the public Kirkpatrick wrote: Tell them to telephone to Will Kirkpat- rick. He has a telephone, eleven miles west of Beebe. Give my watch to Minnie Hill at Vilonia, Ark. My burial expenses will be paid Put me away nice. Notify the w. o. w. Lodge, Camp No. 255, Fl Paso, Ark. "
 Kirkpatrick was formerly em- ployed as a city fireman. Chief Briner stated that he was in the city's employ about nine months. Later he worked as a motorman on street car here. He was pot em- ployed at the time he killed him self
 No Trouble with Miss Hill
 Nilonia, Feb. 2o.-Special-The news of A. T Kirkpatrick s death was telephoned to Vilonia this morning. Mrs. Gus Bush told Miss Minnie Hill of the tragedy and she was greatly shocked by the news. There had been no trouble whatever, she said, between her and MT, Kirkpatrick, the last letter she had received from him being the same in tone as those whick had proceeded it. Miss Hill believes that if MT. Kirkpat- rick received any disappointing news concerning her it was the work of "meddlers" and she in, inmates that she would not be sur prised If such was the case.
 Miss Hill was formerly the wife of l.. T. Cagle, who was a cand; date for representative in this county three years ago. She se- cured a divorce from him at Pine Bluff some time since and has re- sumed her maiden name. She is sister of Thomas Hill and lived in Conway a number of years ago.
