PHYSICIAN ASPHYXIATED.
DR.. J. 4. MiIlhOuse Found Dead in
Columbia Hotel.

Columbia, Oct. 2O.-Dr. J. A. Mill
house, of Perry, was found dead ID
his room at the: Imperial Hotel here
this morning, and the odor of es-
Gaping gas in the room showed death
had been caused by asphyxiation. He
was found in bed undressed and evil
IDENTIFY had been dead some time. His
remains were removed to local un-
dertaking establishment and taken
back to his late home at Perry on the
midnight train tonight, where the
remains will be Inferred.
DR.. NIillhouse reached the city yes
terday at noon, and registered at the
Imperial Hotel. Before retiring he
left a call for 9 o'clock this morning.
Along in the night it is said that
some men in the room next to DR..
Millhouse heard groans and they no.
titled the Office.
Entrance Not Affected.
A bell boy was sent up to the room,
but he failed to get any response,
and returning obtained pass key
and tried to get in that way, but the
door was bolted on the inside and he
failed to get in. However, by this
time the groans had ceased and the
boy left, thinking everything was all
right.
This morning the boy was sent up
to DR.. Millhouse's rom at 9 o'clock
to call him as he was instructed. He
failed to get any response to his re-
peated knocks and as the door was
locked on the inside and he couldn' t
get in. he went for assistance. This
was secured, the transom was forced
and the boy entered the room over
the transom. The room was filled
with the odor of gas and DR.. Mill
house was found in bed, undressed
and dead.
The theory is that DR.. Millhouse in
turning OH luS SlSCI1I ~ lASAe ioAN ~
gas Jet on and the mistake was made
in this way. 1t is supposed that he
must have been suffering from indl-
gestion and that this was the cause
of the groans heard in the night.
Body Taken Home.
The body was taken in charge by
a local undertaking establishment.
Adjt. Gen. Moore, who was friend
of the dead man, lent what assistance
he could, and the people at Perry be-
ing notified, D. J. D. Dodenhoff and
others wired from there that they
would be up on the first train and to
have the remains prepared for ship
ment back to Perry. This was done
and DR.. Dodenhoff and friends arriv-
ed on the first train and took the
body back to Perry tonight.
DR.. Millhouse was about 56 years
of age and a prominent physician of
Perry, and came from one of the
most prominent families in the State.
His wife, who was Miss Salley, sur
wives him with several children.

Peril of Whiskers
Is Tacoma going to wear whiskers9

Beg pardon! We mean, are the young men of
Tacoma going to wear side whiskers9
1t seems that the side growth---which fashion
became epidemic in 1880, is again prevalent in the
British Isles-by Jove-where they have been
known to break out In a sporadic way eyer since.
Brethren, the smooth face is in danger! Makers
Of the safety razor, your interests imperied!
The BARRIERS will not help, for the thing plays into
their hands, The man with the burnsides has to go
to barber owing to the impractcabity of skirting
the coast of Galway with the facial lawn mower.
The smooth face is an economic necessity Adj
vancng age first shows in the effect
in the beard---and how old fellow seek job
pretending to be under the Osler limit, and get away
with it if he has either gray or painted whiskersY
There is an old Spanish proverb that kiss
without beard is like an egg without salt. But
there is reason-we won't go into the matter def
nitely hereto believe that American women are
against the neglected lawn of the countenance The
suffrage associations and League of Women's Clubs
may help in this crisis. For crisis it is. Back of
il is the combined forces of putocracy prggshness,
and barberism.
