Personals and Local l Happenings

bosom friends. She knew all my SC crets and 1 knew all hers. She hao read my diary and had read her let l ters from home We had traded hail ribbons and slippers, and passed oul leisure hours walking with our arms around each others waist.
 Then I began to notice that there i never seemed to be time for anything but Eilane. The beauty's name was Eilane. She pouted if spoke to one of the other girls on the most trivial matter. She was mad" if l took too long to read my letters from home. She wanted me to come and room with her and promise never to have any other friend as long as lived but her.
 In about ten days I would have giv- en every hair ribbon and every pair of slippers I ever hoped to have to get rid of her. She haunted me like some sickly shadow. I couldn't eat, I couldn't practice, 1 couldn't read, l couldn't breathe without Eilane. Fin ally I fell ill and the doctor wouldn't let her in the room. When l recover ed Eilane had a new victim, and 1 was free.
 I wonder if that woman who jumped off a moving train to be with the man who wanted to get rid of her is Eilane. It sounds awfully like her.
 The prettiest, cleverest, most fas- cinating woman in the world cant af ford to make herself too plenty, as the girls used to say of Eilane.
 Poor Eilane! suppose she's wond- ering yet why people fall out of love with her as quickly as they fall in.- Winifred Black

It Looks Just Like New

This was the expression of lady when she called to get a brooch that she had left to have repaired.
 The brooch was polished and refin- ished and the work was properly done and she said it was really new again :; and the price charged was so small it also surprised her.
 How many old pieces of jewelry have you got laying around that a few cents would make just like new?
 Bring them in and give me trial. I will please you.

Listens and Gets Bad News.

Columbia, Mo-, March. Idle Curl
osity to know what was passing over
the wires resulted in Pearl Mcdaniel,
telephone operator in the employ OF
local exchange, hearing a message
that told of her mothers death.
Mrs. N. B. Mcdaniel, mother of the
girl, was a patient in the Parker
Memorial Hospital here, and when
she died suddenly the physician in
charge of the hospital notified Doctor
Frank Nifong, the physician, who
had been attending her.
The call came to that section of the
switchboard under Miss Mcdaniel
care. After she had made the con-
nection the girl listened to the con-
versation.
A moment later she screamed and
fell to the floor in a faint.

Other indictments accuse him of man.
slaughter by bleeding j. Moss Hun
ton, and of having poisoned by the
administration of typhoid germs, eight
persons, members Of the Swope
household, and visitors.
Perhaps the most surprising of all
the indictments returned are the eight
in connection with the alleged pois-
oning of the Swope family and Wis

hold. DR.. Hyde is accused in these
indictments, which contain ten counts,
of poisoning with typhoid germs with
intent to murder Margaret Swope,
Stella Swope, Sarah Swope, Lucy Lee
Swope, Nora Bell Dickson, George
F. Compton, Mildred Fox and Lenors

WAS PRIVATE
DUNN MURDERED
His Parents Citizens of Bates
County.


The body of Private Robert B.
DUNN, of the regular army, arrived
at Passaic, from Port Townsend, last
week, was taken in charge by his
parents, who purchased the Doc.
Jenkins farm in Mound township
about year ago, and was taken to
their former home in Hamilton, Mo-,
for burial.
An associate dispatch from Port
Townsend gives the following par
ticulars of his tragic death:
THAT Private Robert B. DUNN, a
native of Hamilton, Mo-, Of the coast
artillery, was murdered and that he
did not meet his death accidentally is
the belief of military and civil auth
critics here.
Coupled with this opinion, unstint-
ingly given, is the further belief that
''pay day" has been an incentive to
murder at Fort Worden.
First examinations of the body OF
Private Dumm's body led to the con-
clusion that he had fallen over bluff,
but when his remains were examined
by the post surgeons wound was
found on the dead mans head that
the surgeons declare was made by a
blunt instrument, supposed in the
hands of an assassin and not by fall.
DUNN started to the fort with
about $50, and when the body was
found he had but a few cents in his
pocket.
During the last six or seven months
several artillerymen have disappear
ed within few hours after they had
received their pay. They have been
marked as deserters, but the finding
of Dumm's body and the circum-
stances lead to the belief that most OF
those who disappeared have been
murdered and their bodies concealed.
A symstematic search along the
bluff and the bushes surrounding fort
will be made for the remains of those
who have disappeared.
