ATTEMPTS SUICIDE

John Sosolowski aged II years, son
of MIR. SosolOwslzi of the town of ST.
GEL having been reproved by his
mother, tried to commit suicide
Mon. night at his home by eating paris
green. The facts as we learned them
are these: Young SosoIowsl0i went to
a dance Saturday night and did not
get in until IL o'clock. His mother
chided him saying he was getting too
wild and would have to change his
ways. He promised her he would and
went UP stairs and lay down for a
while Then he went down into the
cellar where there was a pan of sour
milk. In the morning his mother
found some paris green missing, also
the pan of milk John SosoloWski had
left the place and on the kitchen
floor she found some milk mixed
with paris green. 1t is thought he
first attempted suicide by eating the
paris green then realizing what he
had done he drank the milk as an
antidote. He apparently wandered oil
into the woods back of the house and
searching parties were quickly organ
lied. AS yet he has not been found
and he is thought to have been over
come by the paris green and is pro-
badly dead out in the woods.
LATER!
Since the above was written we
have learned that the young man
who had taken the paris green was
found about two and one-half miles
in the woods and when found was
living and in a severe fit of vomit-
ing. He was taken home and DR.. A.
L. Ridgman was called and everything
was done to counteract the action
of the poison, but it was too late,
the young man died about noon

Those who took part in GA Maid
en- of Plymouth are entitled to more
than ordinary comment. The play,
which is based on the story of '"The
Courtship of Miles Standish," was
given in most entertaining style,
and in manner which not only show
ed splendid drilling but which also
demonstrated unusual talent on the
part of the members of the cast.
Following the class play were the
regular class day exercises beginning
with song by the school. The ad
dress of welcome by Miss Clara Far
rell and the class history by Miss Be-
size Christiansom were both we'll de-
livered and met with universal favor
The class statistics given by Miss
Ethel Ingle were humorous as we'll az,
instructive; perhaps too personal for
many seniors, especially when men
tion was, made of the sizes of shoes
worm by the various mmebers of the
class; however, the discourse offered
much amusement and SO far as can
be learned caused no hard feeling wha
ever.
Miss Elizabeth Lindahl, assuming
the duties of an elder sister, spent
a few moments giving some very
valuable advice to the younger jun
iors who, represented by Miss Laura
Bahr, responded with a few witty re
marks which to some extent decreaS-
ed the dignity and superior aspect of
the speech just previous. Following

the school beautiful bronze Statue

cepted this memorial with a. few well
chosen remarks of gratitude and appr
citation.

this question: why is il that the
King Hill Fortnightly Club seems able
to accomplish this course so far in
advance of other cities around here.
and also why is that one going in
to that town never hears a knock
from it from its own residents"
They evidently do not realize that
they have answered their own ques-
tion with the latter part of their
query. That's just the reason in King
Hill one never hears a business man
nor resident knock" his own town.
From the smallest child to the old

Glenns Ferry. a city of twenty-five
or more years of age. is slowly but
surely forging to the front. The val
ne of the permanent Improvements
which were made in the city during
the past year reaches up into the
thousands and the indications are
that the stupenduous growth of this
city, viewed from an industrial point
will continue during the coming year.
Municipal experts take as one of the
best indications of the growth an.
prosperity of a city. the money ex-
pended each year for permanent inn
provements in the shape of buildings
and municipal improvements such as
paved streets, sewers and water
works.
Several expensive and substantial
buildings have been erected, chief
of which are the Gilmore Hotel
building costing upwards of $780,
600 has been completed and opened
to the public. Few places can boast
of better Accommodations than they
get at this hotel
The First Bank of King Hill cost
ing $4,000, one of the best equip
ped banks along the line, has been
opened making a handy place for
people to deposit their extra funds ia
the competent hands of worthy and
reliable bankers.
The new $4,000 school building
is an Improvement in which the peo.
pie here are more interested in Their
in any other building because our fu.
ture depends greatly upon our pub
lie schools. We think that when oui
building is finished, furnished and
opened we can boast of one of tn,
finest school systems system ex
celled by none.
In the R. W. Montgomery build

fectionery. soda fountain and poo

comes that the appropriation has
