What will become of the wom-
an?
That is the next question.
The mans. Foster Kelley
has returned to the wife AMI fam
lily he deserted two years ago
when he ran away with the wife
of one of his clerks. He is back to
pick up the threads of business
where he dropped them.
Kelley will be forgiven, his Of
fense forgotten. Kelley can live
down the scandal.
But Ida May Henry-the wom-
an-can't turn back.
She has lost her husband. The
terrible revelations of that divorce
hearing which shocked and sob
cred Seattle for days stands as a
big insuperable barrier. Witnesses
under oath all but pinned the
scarlet letter on Mrs. Hcnry's
breast. Henry cant take her back
as Mrs. Kelley forgave her hus-
band,
Mrs. Henry has lost her chill
dren. The courts OF Washing ton
took them from her-pend;rg a
reversal in the upper court--and
the courts of California sent Kel-
ley to Jail for aiding her attempt
to kidnap them. Her present Gus
tody of them is only temporary.
She must soon tell them good
bye.
Lastly she has lost Kelley.
The man for whom she gave up
everything tired OF the chase
when the game was won. Friends
had predicted that they would
marry. Mrs. Kelley had divorced
her husband. Henry had 'divorc-
ed his wife. The way was clear.
The man, apparently, grew
tired.
Poor, pretty, foolish Ida May,
with her dainty doll face, her
Dresden china profile, her slender
girlish flgure-it Is her time to
pay. Whether the stories told I'm
the divorce court were true or
false they live to confront her on
a thousand evil tongues.
Many women in Seattle may
have envied Mrs. Ida May Henry
as she dashed by m the big auto
mobile-envied her pretty face,
her fine clothes.
But these women today can still
clasp their children to their
breast, can still feel the strong
arm of their husband about
them, can still look their neigh
bors in the face confident of their
respect.

Think Missing Girl Is
Victim of White SlaUers

NEW YORK, July 24.-With
practically the entire police de-
partment searching and not a
single tangible clue unearthed as
yet, the disappearance of Louise
Swan, the 19-year-old girl who

WASHINGTON, d. c., July "a.
Evidence that eleven of the
largest steel manufacturers in
the country had entered into a
pooling agreement in 1900, thus
forming a steel plate association,
was presented before the Stanley
investigating committee today.
The agreement was dated Novem-
Der 8, 1900, and the committee
believes it is still being enforced.
The companies signing the
agreement were: The Carnegie
Steel Co., the Jones e Laughlin
Co., Limited; the Illinois Steel Co.,
the Crucible Steel Co. of America,
the Otia Steel Co., the Tidewater
Steel Co., the Lukens Iron &
Steel Co., Worth Bros, the Cen
trail Iron & Steel Co, the Ameri-
can Steel G. Iron Co., and the
Glasgow Iron Co.
The agreement stated that the
combination was formed "for our
mutual interests and to enable us
to pay liberal wages to our work
men,"
1t sets forth the exact share of
each of the companies in the
steel plate business, the Carnegie
Co. being accorded 1925 per cent
of the total output of the COM
bine. =
According to the agreement, IL
any company sold more than its
share of steel plates the offender
would be compelled to pay 35-1OO
of one cent for every pound of it's
excess sales into the Golfers of
the association. To insure OBJ
servancc of the agreement, each of
the companies paid I'm 900 for
each per cent of its allotment of
the total production.

Home Talent a Success.

'FThe County Fair,' the home
talent entertainment given under the
direction of the ladies Of the Congre-
gational church at the armory on Fri
day and Saturday evenings of last
week was not only success financial
ly but also as a mirth-provoking musi-
cal comedy. The armory was crowded
both nights, and thruout each per-
formance4 the audience was convulsed
with the laughable stunts. The
large choruses did very well for the
short time given for rehearsal. Some
of the choruses were very pretty.
while other were humorous. but all
pleased the audience immensely. The
individual parts were caricatures of
the people who visit the county fair,
and were taken off so we'll as to sug-
gest that there are always funny peo-
pie and funny things to see wherever
a crowd gathers together if one but
has the humor to see them. All the
actors played their parts well and
Miss Boch who had charge of the en-
tertainment was especially good. She
was clever on the stage, and also
showed her ability in the management
of the entertainment.

Today and tomorrow are the big
days of the Stevens county fair.
Yesterday the numerous exhibits were
put in place and other preparations
made.
The fair grows steadily larger year

evidences of progress. This year the
poultry exhibit will for the first time
have a suitable building of it's own,
which has only recently been COM
pleted.
There is a special contest this year
among the dairy herds in the county
which brings the fine exhibit of
dairy cattle-evidence of the pro-
gress the county is making in this
important industry. The state dairy
mems association has offered a fine
silver loving cup for the best dairy
herd in the county, and this has stim-
ulated competition.
The educational and industrial ex-
hibits are this year better than ever
on account of the much more liberal
prizes offered in this department and
the extension of various kinds of IN.
