MISS KATE SCROGGINS DEMON
STRATES THE NEW STYLE

The program for the Butler the
alter today contains a picture that
will especially interest the women.

skirt with all its beauty is very
much in evidence throughout. Mrs.
Kate Scroggins is a leader in New
Rochelle society, and accordingly
has Fifth avenue dressmaker fit
her with the latest in hobble skirts.
She starts to go to a swell birth

in reaching her destination makes
the picture a roaring comedy. 1.-THE
Red Girl and the Child is another
of those western dramas that pleas
es everybody. The Usurer' is a
Biograph drama in which a usurer
is represented in his work of max

the poverty and misery of those
compelled to bow to his will. 1t is
a story with good moral and will
please everyone. The finish of the
usurer is very dramatic. A widow
whom he has oppressed faints and

ARCH HARPER SUICIDES
Pioneer Resident Hangs Self With
Halter Sunday Forenoon.

Archibald Harper, aged so years,
committed suicide by hanging at his
home near Givin. The act took place
Sunday morning, but his body was
not discovered until several hours
later. Mr.. Harper together with his
daughter, Miss Minnie, live on their
farm near Givin. Sunday morning
about 300 o'clock Mr.. Harper left the
house and went to the barn, where
he secured a couple of halters and
then proceeded to the pasture. 1t is
not known whether or not the act
was premeditated, but it is the general
superstition that he went to the pas.
ture for the sole purpose Of commit.
ting the act. His daughter was given
the impression that he was simply
going into the pasture for the purpose
of catching the horses. She prepared
dinner, but Mr.. Harper did not APP.
pear. She became alarmed and at
once began a search. He could not
be found in the barn, so Miss Harper
proceeded to the gate that leads to
the pasture. There she found one
of the halters and thought it strange
that her father did not take it along
to catch the horse. She entered the
pasture and found the body hanging
from one of the trees. The deed, &C.
cording to appearances, was commit.
ted by tying the halter strap around
the neck and then mounting a board
which was still against the tree, Dusk.
ling the throat latch around a limb
and then jumping from the board.
When Miss Harper found the body
of her father he was quite dead and
had been so for at least two hours or
more. A physician from Oskaloosa
was summoned, but he could do moth.
ing.
The cause for the act is supposed to
have been from failing eyesight
Cataracts were coming on the old gen,
tleman's eyes and dreading the loss
of sight he took this course Of pre-
venting blindness. Mr.. Harper is
one of the Oldest settlers of the coun.
ty and is we'll known in the vicinity
of his home. He has been a resident
of the county for 81 years and has
many friends in East Des Moines
township, as well as in many others
