Probe Annapolis Deaths.

Annapolis, Md, May 1.-The Anne
Arundel county grand jury, now in
session, will tomorrow start an in
vestigation of the circumstances sur
rounding the deaths of Mrs. Dora
White and her sister, Miss Alice
Shores, who mysteriously 1isap-
peared from their home here on
the night of April! 5, and whose
bodies were found floating in Spa
creek a week ago.
A dozen or more Witnesses in
Guiding members of the families and
intimate friends of the two women,
have been summoned to appear be-
fore the grand jury.
Just what information the author
tiles may have in hand is not
known, as the investigation institu-
ted by States Attorney Nicholas
Green, cas- a result of the condition
of Mrs. Whites body, which aroused
suspicion that there might have
been foul play, has been conducted
entirely in secret. The face and
neck Of Mrs. Whites body bore Sc
we're bruises and there is strong
belief in the minds Of many that
she was probably dead before her
body went into the water.
No motive for the crime has been
uncovered, however, and it, is
thought that the verdicts o. ~
coroner's juries win be death el -
by accident or suicide. However, it
was decided to have the grand jury
take up the matter. In the mean
time, the coroner's juries are wait
ing the report of DR.. w. B. D. Pen
niman, the State chemist, to whom
vital parts of Mrs. Whites body
were submitted for expert analysis.

Terrified by the accident, the animal

Angeline Mason was driving to the
Willow mill The month was June,
and the early morning was fresh and
dewy and fragrant with the scent OF
roses and new grass. The wheels OF
the buggy cracked and crunched the
pebbles on the shore road where the
tapping waves Of food tide would
soon obliterate the tracks Of the little
rat tailed sorrel horse.
"Get up. Memo" said Angeline sharp
ly as they turned the corner into the
main road, which ascended sharply to
the woods beyond. Memo did not &C.
celerate his digRlied amble in the
slightest degree. A contemptuous shiv-
er ran along the high ridge Of his back
bone and down his dropping tanks.
Miss Mason stared strait mt ahead as
they passed Newton Fosters house.
1t was a snug little two storied. old
fashioned house with an ell on the
west. There was the squeaking of
well rope. and Angeline knew that
Newton was drawing water from the
new we'll. Although It had been dug
for twenty years, she always thought
Of It as the "new we'll" She peered
through the little pane Of glass in the
back Of the buggy top and saw Nathan
bending under the weight Of pail OF
water He disappeared. and her glance
wandered to the ell where the blinds
were tightly closed and overshadowed
hy tall. untrimmed shrubs. The grass
and weeds grew r.nkly underfoot
and choked the path up to the closed
door. Everywhere else the place was
tidy and trim with neatly defined
walks. closely shorn grass and thrifty
plants. The windows Of the main
part Of the house were open to the
sun. and smoke curled from the kitch
en- chimney. but all looked cold and
dark and gloomy.
Angeline's curious glance wandered
again to the closed door and then fell
to the brown dO0rstOne. She frowned
and cIucked sharply to the sorrel Her
interest In the closed portion of the
old house would never abate. When
she drove past alone she would peer
back al II through the pane Of glass.
In company with others she always
stared straight ahead and evinced not
the slightest interest in 1t. For that
reason people said Angeline was hard
hearted
hut Angeline was far from being the
possessor OF an adamantine heart. She
had as much of human tenderness as
any woman and was famed throughout
the community for her sympathy with
the unfortunate. Many kindly deeds
OF charity and neighborly thoughtful-
ness had gninpd for Aneeline the uni.

A gentleman said to US the

pany is not able to furnish an
Office for its local representative
where people can go and pay
their bills and make applications
for service, and likewise make a
kick when it is necessary, then
the company should quit busi-
ness in Baxter Springs. The
idea of a public service corpora.
tion not having a place of busi-
ness is enough to make an or.
dinary man tired. We do not
know of another place in the
United States where gas is fur
nished the public, that an Office
is not maintained. And all of
this is referred to the Hon. Jesse
G. Starr of Joplin. Mr.. Starr

An Object Lesson.

Last Saturday mornings fire
was another object lesson as to
the need of fire hydrants in Bax-
ter Springs, at least in the busi-
ness district, That the water
company can furnish plenty of
pressure and water was proven
when the little pump at the plant
furnished all the water needed
to food the Hotel Baxter, up on
the third floor, too, and prevent
the spread of the fire. The big
pump is out of commission for
the present, and the little pump
is doing duty. The water COM
pauy has plenty of water, and it
can furnish the pressure. 1t Is
folly, criminal folly, for Baxter
Springs to longer go without at
least a dozen FIRE plugs In the
business district. And a dozen
fire plugs would cost so little the
cost would not be felt.

On Saturday of last week fire

of the Hotel Baxter, and by a
lot of hard work it was extin-

its share of putting out the
,i4ames, but if it had not been for
the big hose line of the water
plant, just across the street,
which flooded the building, and
prevented the spread of the fire,
the building would have burned,
together with all of the ad1oin-
ing buildings.

The Booster Club will provide
a rest room, where ladies and
children can have a place to go
if they need to, and there will
be a place to register for the
prizes. And every prize will be
a useful one.
There should be a mighty big

Saturday. To all of the visitors
the News extends a welcome, and
if the News can do anything to
make your visit a pleasant one,
Just command us. Come in and
visit us. We will try to make

We have plenty of reading mat

It is worse than useless to at

cathartic drugs. Laxatives or
cathartics do much harm. They
cause a reaction, irritate and
weaken the bowels and tend to
make constipation more chronic.
Besides, their use becomes a hab-
