which follows:
William Dougherty was bern In
Nsrmilion county, Ind, and so was his
wife, whose maiden name was Mary
Catherine Killer. 1t seems that at the
time o the wedding the girls parents
objected to the young mans atten-

several ether young fellows and ny
self to help tho prospective b ride

FACTS ABOUT SUICIDE
sAxoaY LEADS IN NUMBER AND
IRELAND IS LAST.
self-Murter Far Mere Prevalent
Among Men Than Among Women
Former Seem to Prefer Hang.
Ing and Latter Drowning.

Modern conditions In all countries
are such that the subject OF suicide
must occasionally come under discus
sion In every community OF any size.
Nat that suicide Is OF modern origin.
Tor history shows that 1T occurred In
very ancient times, but those whe
have made a study of the subject
maintain, any probably with reason.
that the highly organized conditions Of
modern society and the social abHor-
maaities and nerve disturbances iaci-
dent thereto. promote and strengthen
the suicidal tendency. This may be
mere theory. but astatistfes do show
that 1t Ia more prevalent IN some
csuntrfes then Ia others. Etatigties
covering "a term Of years show thst
during the entire period of ebserva-
Itieh ireland had tho fswest annual
number Of suicides. seventeen to the
million of Inhabitants, and Saxony, the
largest number, 800 to the million.
Denmark showed s51 per annual 10 the
million inhabitants; ~switEer1and. 2a8,
france $50. lseltxlun 100, Ensisnd and
Wales rs. The Swiss people are Gem,
monty suppossd to be happy and COM
paratively free fram eare, and It seeras
strange that tho average suicide rate
should be several hundred per cent,
greater In Switzerland than In Ire
land.
On another point statistics are more
conclusive. for they show that in all
countries the proportion OF suicides il
three or four men to one woman, and
that this proportion continues from
year to wear. The fair inference would
seem to be either that men are more
gubject to the suicidal tendency than
women or else that they yield to 1t
more readily. Either superstition opens
a field for biological and metaphysical
speculation. Anther curious fact dis
closed By the statistics Is that suicide
is much more common among Protest
ant than amongst Roman Catholic
communities, while Jews have q small
er suicide rate than Roman Catholics.
1t Is also demonstrated that self-nur-
der, as suicide Is styled by Christian
ethics and law, is more common among
the educated than the iliiterate class
es, and more prevalent In city than
Ia rural districts. These facts might
be accounted for on the theory that
educated people are more sensitive to
misfortune than the illiterate, and the
nervous strain of city life greater than
that or country life. The suicide rate
la higher In certain occupations and
professions than in others. 1t ia high
among soldiers and doctors.
As to the modea OF suicide they ara
found to vary but slightly In different
countries. Hanging is the most COM
mon among males; then drowning,
firearms, knife cuts and poison. In the
order named. With wemen q different
order prevails. viz. first drowning,

tiers are grouped around Mnzarin, the
real king.
CASTOR, the indoient father OF an
energetic and courageous daughter,
is talking to him, and chroniclers of
the day tell us that the duke OF Or

The Grande Mademoiselle, now over

descriptions, was not tneonsiderable,

SCHOOLS ON THE CAREY LANDS

Miss Alice Beach returned Tuesday
from tour of several days among
the schools along the Aberdeen
Branch, and says it is wonderful how
we'll the school officers down that
way have managed school matters
with so little taxable property. None
of the lands to speak of have been
patented until this spring, and with
meagrc funds they have built pretty
good school houses, and SO far as they
have gone, things have been we'll
done.
She visited eleven teachers and nine
schools and expects to see those dis
tricts accomplish a great deal, now
that the lands are being patented
and money will be available.
The trustees in the Pingree dis
trict have adopted plans for beauti-
full modern building which they hope
to erect this season.

ROSS-HALL WEDDING

Mrs. S. M. Rose and Mr.. John Hall,
both of Thomas, Idaho, were happily
married ON the 10Th, at Brigham City.
Utah.
Both of the contracting parties
were we'll known in this locality, and
both have had experience on the mat
,rinionial seas, and it is source of
much satisfaction to their friends to
witness this union, the more inter-
esting because the groom was not the
only man suing for the honors among
the Roses. Out of Difference to the
suitors in this case we forego the
expression, "a Rose between two
thorns," both being among the most
highly respected gentlemen in the
community.
On Monday evening the friends in
the community assembled and played
a tune of high jinks at the home of
the Halls, and made merry until
late hour.

The Corrine La Vaunt Company
that played here for several nights
last fall and returned for week s
engagement during the winter, is
back again, and right glad are the
people of Blackfoot to see them.
Besides being troupe of more
than usual ability and with first class
attractions, they are making personal
friends among the Blackfooters. They
analyized the situation correctly here
and decided they would do the great
est en1d to the greatest number and
nnr IL. price of admission down 10
lC. 70 and 80 cents WITH the result
that they played to full house
every night, and people were particu-
larly happy over getting their mon
ey's worth and then some. 1t is
seldom they are made to feel this
way about show, that when they
feel that they are repaid for coming
before the play is half over, they are
SO responsive 1t becomes a joy to
play to them, and all goes along
well at it's best.
They are here for the rest of the
week. and that means full houses,
and you'd better buy your tickets
early and get good seat.

HIGH SCHOOL-ALUMNI DEBATE

The annual debate between the
high school and the alumni was held
last Friday evening at the Methodist
Church. Orr Chapman and Dick
Stevens for the alumni presented the
affirmative, while Kennth Parkinson,
Erbie Downing and Geo. Dore of the
high school defended the negative
side of the question: Resolved, the
U. s. Government should adopt the
reciprocity measure last pending be-
fore congress, known as the Mccall
bill. The alumni team presented
their arguments with more ready
speech and more elegant diction than
their opponents, but seemed to be
handicapped by lack of thorough
investigation of the subject and ina
bility to systematic their argument.
The high school manifested higher
degree of team work, and covered
their ground more thoroughly. The
speeches of Geo. Dore, of the high
school and Dick Stevens were of
particular interest and showed excep-
tional ability. While the judges were
preparing their decision, Miss Seeley
entertained the audience in pleasing
manner with number of recitation.
In one of these she expressed the
thought, 1T doesn't matter SO much
that your licked, but it's the way
you take it," When the decision of
the judges was declared unanimous
In favor of the high school, Dick
arose and in very pretty speech
showed that even though licked" he
was game" in taking it.
