DETERMINED SUICIDE.
Wife WreSts Weapons From Him
But Man Tears Wound With
Hands.

Cheyenne. Wyo., May 2l.-Laying
aside the paper in which he read Of
a local suicide, Zcphaniah B. Berlin,
travelling auditor Of the Union Pacific
Railroad. went to bed Thursday
night and few minutes later his
wife saw him arise and go into ad-
Joining room. Suddenly he cried out
excitedly and she leaped from the
bed and ran to him.
Berlin stood in the centre Of the
room slashing at his throat with
razor. Mrs. Berlin threw herself
upon him and struggled for posses
sion Of the weapon. She was cut re-
pcatedy about the hands ard arms,
but finally wrested the razor from
him. Berlin then walked to table
with blood squirting from hole in his
meek, picked up dull pcnknife and
began saving at his wound.
Again his wife disarmed him. but
he seized pair of shears and jabbed
them into the hole in his throat Once
more she succeeded in depriving him
of the weapon, but he staggered into
another room, graspcd a jagged piece
of wood and pushed it into his throat,
turning it about in an attempt to en-.
large the wound he had made.
Failing to do this, he caught the
edges of the wound in his hands
and literaly tore his throat open, col
lapsing from loss Of blood.

DR.. Sun Anxious to Build Ten Thou
sand Miles of Railway-Estimates
Reduced to Ten Thousand.

London, May 24.-George Bronson
Rea, secretary of the Chinese Ma.
tional Railway Corporation, is in
London with the power of attorney
! o DR.. Sun Yatsen to borrow $780,
100000 for the purpose of building
10000 miles of railway within the
next fifteen years. Dr.. Sun wanted
! 10000 miles built, but Mr. Rea cut
his estimate to 10000. Mr.. Rea has
undertaken to get the money without
utilizing the financial groups so cord
tally disliked by the Chinese parlia-
ment.
Discussing the questions involved,
MIR. Rea said:
"Our first thought was to raising
money in America. l knew that the
American group headed by the Nor
gan firm could easily handle it, of
course taking in the other powers af
ter the loan was started, but we had
to be in a position to ELIMINATE the
phases of the former loan contract so
.unwelcome to the Chinese.
"My desire was to have America
supply S125. 100000 ten years and
have the other powers take the re-
mainder, but all our plans fell
through when it was found Presi-
dent Wilson had with drawn govern
mental support from the American
banking group, and l had to come to
2Engfand and Americans won't en-
ter China unless reported by their
government.
at seems to me that sooner or Ia
ter President Wilson will be compell-
Sed to modify his policy, because with
1.-THE new tariff all conditions in Amer
lea will be changed. The country
Fmust find an export market, and
China is the richest field the world
now offers. Political conditions in
China make it practicable for Amer
leans TO enter the field without gov
ernment support, while, aside from
the Morgan group, there is no other
! in the United States strong enough
to float the loan independently"

For Country Boys

As another way in which the YIN.
CA. is seeking to meet the needs of
the men and boys of Ellensburg and
vicinity a special gymnasium class for
Farmers Boys" has been put on the
schedule for the coming winter. The
class will meet at pm. Saturdays,
Commencing October 4th.
Last winter many of the farmers
boys had membership in the Y.M.C.
A. and used to come to the building
on Saturday when they were in town
but they never were brought togeth-
er at the same time. This special
class will bring all the boys together
on Saturday afternoon when they will
have an opportunity to use the privi-
lezes of the Y.MCA. under expert
leadership.
Realizing that many of the farmers
boys get lots Of physical exercise or
the farm, the special kind of work
that will be featured in thisSaturday
afternoon class will be gymnasium
games.
The local Y.M.C.A. has always giver
half rates to those who live in the
country, so that the cost of member.
ship is only $3.50 per year for boys
under Is and $3.50 for boys from l;
to II. Boys and men 10 and oveI
are admitted for $500

Rich Mining Property

The following from the Kellogg,
Idaho, Record, will be of interest to
some people in this city who made
Investments with L. w. Gray when
he was here a few weeks since:
L. w. Gay of the Sidney Mining
company, who returned from visit
at Ellensburg. Wash, last week. took
occasion to visit the mine last Satur-
day and in looking over the claims
at the creek level, decided to put in
a small test shot. and with about
three-fou rths of stick of powder
exposed body Of what is known as
the best grade of milling ore, the
shot throwing up about two hundred
pounds of the ore. and he brought
some of the samples intOkellogg with
him, and has shipped some of them
away to parties who are interested
in the mines.
The Sidney isl coated in what is
known as the Denver Gulch, which is
a tributary to the east fork of Pine
creek, and lies between the Nevada
Stewart and the Highland-Surprise,
Nabob and Denver, just over the di-
vide from the head of Government
gulch.
The company having 10 claims all
Joined and in touch with the pres
ent strike.
Mr., Gay says that it is their plan
now to finance a company for the
purpose of mining the present ore in
sight, which is fully seven feet in
thickness, and it is their intention
to install the most up-to-date machin
cry as coon as possible.
Some of the best experienced min
inz men in this section have visited
Mr.. Gay and taken a look at the ore
specimens and are surprised at the
result.
Pine creek has always been look
ed to to produce a big surprise, and
this is among the first to make good
and the first to produce such ma =
nificent showing on the surface any
where in the Occur d'Alenes.
This should also tend to increase
the WORT in other prospects in that
section. and we hope it will not be
long until Pine Greek will be one

A Girl of the Underworld

The dramatic construction of the
new play, "A Girl OF the Underworld
is wonderful bit of play writing.
The auditor is to form a different
idea as to the final outcome as each
of the first three acts end. Of course
the last act is conclusive. While
the play itself is perfectly logical, it
is treated in an entirely new vein.
The various characters stand ont in
a manner altogether vivid and con-
vincing. To undertake a description
of the play would be difficult task,
as the spectator is rapidly lead from
one point of view to another. Every
where the performance has received
great praise, and it seems as though
"A Girl of the Underworld" is a last
ing success. The date is fixed for
Saturday evening Sept. y at the Ell
lensburg Theatre.

Government WhiteWaSh

TO make ''governemnt whitewash
take on epeck OF lime slaked in boil
ing water and kept just covered by
the water while shaking. Strain
through n course cloth. Add two
quarts of fine salt dissolved in warm
water, one pound Ci rice meal or
ground rice boil ID IL water to thin
paste, onc-fourth l.ound of whiting
and half pound OF glue dissolved
in warm water. Mix all thoroughly
and let stand covered for two OF
three days sfir1lng occasionally. Be
fore using heat the mixture and after
it is hot. stir in half pint of crude
carbolic acid to give it disinfccting
properties. This formula is used by
the United States government for eX-
terror Work. 1t is more durable
than common whitewash. 1t does not
brush off so easily and is better
white for this purpose.
