NO POISON FOUND YET
CHEMIST MAKING THOROUGH
ANALYSIS
REPORT NOT YET READY FOR JURY
District Attorney Andersen Talks
with Chemist at Madison Con-
cerning Victims of Tragedy

District Attorney A. N. Andersen
returned home tonight from Madison,
where he was pleading case in the
Supreme Court this week. While there,
he called up on the telephone DR.. Fish
er, chemist of the Dairy and Food Com
mission. who is analyzing the contents
of the stomachs of the victims of the
recent tragedy, being investigated by a
coroner's jury in this city.
Mr.. Fisher informed the district at
torney that he would not have his re-
port ready for the jury this week, but
would have it completed soon. So far
no trace of poison has been found, al
though tests have been made for every
kind of poison which is commonly used
as knockout drops.
Thus the poison theory appears to
have been eliminated.

LIGHTING CO.
IS "TOUCHY"
Demands Explanation of Detective
WARDS Remarks at Union
Temperance Meeting

In another column of this issue are a
couple of letters, published in advertis-
ing space by request of Rev. j. E
Watson. Ii this lecture on Graft and
the Liquor Traffic" delivered in this
city under the auspices of the w. c. T.
u. few weeks ago, Detective Wizard
told of some Of his experiences with
graft, and in this connection mentioned
some of the public utilities which had
most commonly res0rted to grating the
public. Electric light companies were
mentioned along with gas companies,
street railways and others. 1t came to
the ears of the officers of the Ladysmith
Lighting Co. that the speaker had made
reference to them. Captain Wizard s
reply to Rev. Watson's letter states
what he said.
Captain Wizard says turn on the
light The city records show that the
Lighting Co. is now receiving pay for
80 arc lights in operation at the rate of
$40 per light per year. The franchise
reads $50 those who have seen it claim)
that the street lights shall be lit when
there is no moon, according to the Phil
adelphia moonlight schedule. When
this franchise was granted eight years
ago, there were only small part of
the 80 lights now in operation, and the
rate did not seem exorbitant. But the
number of lights has been increased
from time to time by the council at the
same rate per light. Should the rate
be established on the same basis that
many other cities of this class are pay
ing for electric lights, the city could
get along very we'll without the license
money from at least two saloons.
The rate paid by individual patrons
of the company is the same paid in
many other cities, but the cause of
much dissatisfaction lies in the fact that
while some are paying the regular met
er rate, many patrons are given fiat
rate and burn more lights greater
number of hours at much less cost per
month. When the dynamo is overloaded,
as it frequently is under the fiat rate
system, the lights (both arc and incan-
descent) do not give their full candle
power. Thus by the fat rate system a
double injustice is done the patron pay
ing the meter rate and at the same
time the city is not getting the service
specified in the franchise.
1t is understood that the company's s
franchise will expire some time during
the next two years, therefore the COM
ing spring election is of much import
ance, as the aldermen are elected for
two years

SYNOPSIS.

Archibald Terhune, popular young
bachelor Of London, is suddenly aroused
from the aimless and indolent life he
leads. by the startling news from the law
nrnn Of Barnes, Wiloughby & Son, that he
bringing in an income of $4,000 a year.
The bequest comes from an aunt, Mrs.
Georgiana James of Essex. She makes
him her heir on condition that he marry
within ten days or forfeit the legacy to a
third cousin living in America The story
opens at Castle Wyckoff, where Lord Vim
cent and his wife staunch friends of Ter
hume. are discussing plans to find Ter
hume wife within the allotted time. 1t
seems that Lady Vincent is one of seven
persons named Agatha, all whom have
been close girlhood chums. She decides
to invite two of them to a party at the
castle and have Archie there as one of
the guests. Archie accepts the invitation
and the Vincents discuss his prospects in
all their varied bearings. He listens to
their descr' ptions of the two Agatha s
and decides that the sixth shall be his
choice. Agatha first and Agatha sixth
arrive at the castle Agatha the Sixth
strikes Archie as ,handpainted beauty.
Agatha First is a breezy American girl
Only eight days remain for Archie to Sc
cure a. bride. Lady Vincent tells her hus-
band that Agatha the Sixth already cares
for Archie. The plot starts working with
both girls unaware of the urgency Of the
situation. Archie gains from Agatha
Sixth the admission that she cares for
him. but will require a months time fully
to make up her mind.

cares to have every detail Of her pri-
Vate sanctum perfect. Even if
pretty paper-covered box is thought
sufficiently attractive for a closet, it
certainly will not do if the box is to
be kept on one of the new hat racks
rooms where the closet room is so
small as not to admit of more than
two or three hat boxes on it's shelves
These new hat racks, or, rather,
hat box racks, are really excellent in
small room. Made triangular in
shape, they will fit into an unused
corner, and can be made with enough
shelves to hold as many hat boxes as
desired The plain wooden frame can
be either painted the color of the
woodwork of the room or else rem
dered still more inconspicuous by be-
paper as that which adorns the wall
The hat boxes are then covered with
the same cretonne with which the
room is hung. A French print framed
with gold or silver metal lace placed
in the center Of one panel of the box
is most attractive.
These hat boxes are already much
in demand for prizes, while for gifts
or for sale at fair they are still
sufficiently original to be eagerly
sought. When not planned for any
special room or rack, there is, of
course, greater freedom ir-~ e choice
of material and color. u.
