for Unhappiness on Herself.

Because of dissatisfaction among her
family and friends over her marriage,
Mrs. Nellie Feverin, of Davenport,
bride of two months, committed sui
eide yesterday afternoon by drinking
the contents of two-ounce bottle of

Don't worry, mamma, I'm to

While talking to a neighbor few
days ago Mrs Feverin said that She

new POLICE STARS
Old Emblems of Authority Are
Laid Away and Officers
Get Later Type.
ARE SMALLER BUT BETTER
Have Balls on Points in Order to Keep
Them From Catching in the
Clothing of Wearers.

Did you notice the new stars worn
by the police officers in the parade
yesterday? They were given out
especially for the occasion and were
the first time they were used. They
will be the regulation from now on,
however, and the old ones will be put
away to be used by special officers.
The new badges of office are some
what smaller than the old ones, but
the distinguishing feature is the fact
that each of the points of the star is
surmounted by a ball. The sharp
points on the kind that was formerly
used often caught in the clothing of
the wearers and tore large holes. The
new ones will not do this and in adj
dition they are much better looking.
There are % OF them and they were
made by Charles Fiebig of this city.
Extra Omcers Used.
Ten extra officers were sworn in
yesterday to aid the regular force
in preserving order during the day
and the night. The extra men were
assigned beats and a reserve of regu-
lars was kept at the station to go to
any point where they might be need
ed. Because of the excellent police
arrangements. there were very few
disorders in the city despite the large
number of visitors here and the fact
that many of the rougher element de-
cided that Labor day was a day to
be celebrated with a jag.

WAS NO RIVER EXCURSION
First Time in Years When Labor Day
Passed Without One.

For the first time in years, Labor
day passed by without a steamboat eX-
cursion out of the local harbor. AS a
matter of fact, yesterday was the first
summer holiday in years when no ex-
cursion has been run by the boats.
Usually there are at least three excur-
sions, and thousands of people attend
them. Although local steamboat men
have not given up all hope of running
further excursions this season, they
agree that it looks as though the
boats will have to be locked for the
winter without further traffic. The
only boat which is running now is the
steamer Black Hawk. 1t left yester-
day afternoon at o'clock for Burling-
ton with a good passenger list.

once did she consider that she could
possibly be in the wrong herself.
She does not realize the awful prov
ocation given by herself for the
feud which has made life for the SUIT
ton family a veritable hell on earth
for the past three years. Rather
she looks upon herself as the object
of malicious persecution until for
months she has actually come to be-
lieve that the objects of her intense
hate were bent upon robbing her of
home and land and life. 1t is doubt
full If she could have found many
people who would have been less Of
fensive neighbors.
1t Is a question what legal charge
may be sustained. The murder was
committed upon her own property
after she had warned the victim not
to enter. He considered it a public
road. If it can be shown that the
road was laid out and accepted by
the county commissioners, then the
state can hold that the deed was
done on public ground. She will
then be liable to the charge of MUIR
der in the first degree. Otherwise
manslaughter will be the probable
charge.

Religion Spreads Very Rap
idly in African Ter
ritory.

London, Aug. 11.-Mohammedism
appears to be spreading to a remark
able degree in Nyasaland.
Sir Alfred Sharpe, the governor,
who has just arrived in his country
on leave, states that twenty years
ago, when he first knew the coun-
try, Mohammedanism was almost
non-existent except at one or two
spots, where it had been brought in
by the Arabs.
'Since then" he continued, ''it
has spread greatly, particularly dur
ing the last eight or ten years.
"The Yaos are the tribe who have
taken to Moslem teaching mostly
and in almost every Yao village are
a mosque and a Moslem teacher.
i ''On the other hand, among the
tribes to the west of Lake Nyasa.
there is hardly any Mohammedanism.
Here the Scotch missionaries have
strong hold on the people, who have
taken up Christianity with great en-
thusiasm.

why did you have the gun with
you while you were watching?" ask
ed the prosecuting attorney.
Because those boys have threat
ened the life of both my mother and
myself" replied Mrs. Totten. "Al-
most every night they are prowling
around my house. 1 have found 1t
necessary to keep gun always at
hand for self-protection."
Prisoner Does Not Realize Crime.
AS the party was about to leave
for Wenatchee and the mother and
daughter realized they would next
meet in court to answer a charge of
murder, Mrs. Beebe said:
Don't worry, Della, about me.
Take care of yourself"
"Oh, I'll be all right, mother" said
Mrs. Totten. Now, don't you worry
about me. 1 never did anything in
my life which was more necessary
than this deed. I'm not afraid"
1t was getting cool. Mrs. Totten
opened her grip to get coat. She
called the attention of the sheriff to
a loaded revolver which she re-
marked, had saved her life several
times.
, The weapon was seized by the Of
ficer, with the remark: "I'll take
that"
The hearing was set to take place
in Cashmere next Saturday at ten
o'clock in the morning. The entire
Sutton family were notified by the
prosecuting attorney to be present
Undertaken H. N. May went up the
valley this morning to take charge
of the body.
Mrs. Totten was brought down to
Wenatchee and lodged in the jury
room. Until the new Jail is COM
pletej, no other fit place is available
in which to hold women prisoners.
Was Married Four Times.
On the return trip to Wenatchee
Mrs. Totten gave some of her his
tory. She came to this country ten
years ago from northern Nebraska.
Her goods and some stock, including
herd of angora goats, were shipped
to Ellensburg From there she
crossed the mountains alone except
for the company of boy who was
hired to assist driving the animals.
Passing through Wenatchee she went
on past Cashmere and located on the
homestead which has since been her
residence.
In Nebraska the woman had been
married and divorced twice. She is
very bitter against both men, was so
The Wenatchee daily world. [volume] (Wenatchee, Wash.) 1905-1971, 1910-08-11

soured against the male sex that she
vowed never to marry again. She
did remain single for ten years. FL
nally man named Fleming from
the state of Washington visited a
cousin in Nebraska and a strong at
tachment sprang up between him and
the twice divorced woman. At the
mere mention of Fleming's name
last night, Mrs. Totten showed the
only sign of tender feelings during
all the events in connection with the
tragedy. She wept and with diff
Guilty controlled herself. She said
ne was the best man she ever knew
| and that to think of him we'll nigh
causes her to go into Mysteries.
Mr.. Fleming died a few years ago
and was mourned around Cashmere
as one of its most respected citizens
and neighbors. About a year ago
his wife married again, her new hus-
band being Noel Totten. He is a
good citizen and is doing his best to
make living and develop the ranch
which belongs to his wife.
A son, William Tabor, 20 years
of age, lives with his mother, Mrs.
Totten, and to him she committed
| the care Of the aged mother. Mrs.
Beebe. The sad look on his face, as
his mother departed in custody, was
very pathetic.
Mrs. Totten has appeared in the
| justice courts of Cashmere some six
times within the past few years. In
most cases the trouble was with the
Sutton boys. About two months ago,
Jim, who now lies slain by her hand.
and two more of the brothers, were
hailed to court to answer to a charge
of disorderly conduct. In passing
her place she called them low
name and the boys Knocked her.
Whereupon she swore out a warrant
and the judge gave her a verdict,
placing the young men under a sus-
pended fine of $25 each in case the
offense was repeated.
The woman now under arrest is
very eccentric. By many she has
been regarded as decidedly unbal-
| anced in mind. However, all stories
relating to mental peculiarities, are
| in connection with her quarrels. Her
entire conversation indicates rather
that she is a typical moral idiot who
has so formed the habit of charging
upon the faults of others that she
is not aware of her own shortcom-
ings. Not once last night did she
reveal the slightest regret for the
murder performed by her hand. Not
