Woman Takes Life BY Moose.

Crosby, Sept. 16.-Fred -Schaffer,
who resided with her husband and
family on a farm a few miles south
west of Plumer, and about twenty
two miles south of Crosby, committed
suicide by hanging. She had been i'll
and during the night was in deliri-
Gus condition and it is thought the act
was committed while she was tempo
rarily insane.
Two daughters were in the house a
few minutes before the suicide, pre-
pairing the afternoon lunch for the
men in the field, and their mother was
then asleep in her room. The girls
took the lunch to the men in the field
and on their return found the lifeless
body hanging from rope in the barn.
Coroner Morrison of this city was
Immediately notified of the suicide,
and from the facts learned, deemed
an inquest unnecessary. The deceas-
ed was So years of age and leaves a
husband and several grown children
to mourn her loss.

COMPACT TRAVELLING BAG.

Any device which will save room
when packing a suit case is welcomed
by the traveller. A very compact bag
II made Of cretonne. Attic top Of the
bag is a folding coat hanger. The bag
is made Of one long piece Of cretonne.
The bottom is turned up to form
deep pocket, and the top is cut into a
point and forms the flap. Into the
deep pocket one can pack shoes, over
shoes and slippers, or ones comb, brush
and toilet accessories might be slipped
into 1t. Snap fasteners are used to
secure the flap so that the contents In
the bag will not fall out A loop of
tape and button will answer the same
purpose.
To make the bag still more practical
safety pins can be placed at either end
Of the coat hanger and at the point of
the hook. On these pins one can hang
skirts and thus make the most Of the
small closet room which one usually
finds on her vacation.

What Is a KilOWatt?

In plain language the Chenille,
Tenn, Sun offers its readers the fol-
lowing explanation of the method Of
figuring ones electric light bill. First,
multiply the current by the conscience
of the proprietor of the electric light
plant, divide this by the meter on the
wall and add whatever you can't null
tiply. The answer will come in dol
lars and cents. Just divide this by
the price you pay per kilowatt and
multiply again and find out what a
kilowatt is. It is something you
can't see, that you pay for according
to what someone tells you who doesn't
know what he is talking about, and
proves it by the meter that runs by
guess and by thunder and is attached
to the wall by a man with machine
grease on his nose. You know just
how many kilowatts you had, just
what they cost you piece, but you
do not know what they are, what they
look like, who made them or what
shape they are.

Torpedoing of the Lusitania Shocks Official Washing ton as Has No Other h. cident Since the Outbreak of the European War
THREATS HAVE BEEN
 BROUGHT TO LIGHT
Sinking of the Ship Marks Climax to Series of Incl dents Arising Since An nouncement of the Ger man War Zone
ASSOCIATED PRESS D1sPArcHl

WASHINGTON. May 7-The tor pedoing of the British liner Lusi- tania with scores of Americans on board shocked officials in Washing ton as has no other incident since the outbreak of the war. The feel ing was widespread that if any American lives were lost, the United States. in view of it's strong warning to Germany, would be confronted with the necessity of taking steps to safeguard the lives of it's citizens on the high seas.
 The report that the Lusitania was torpedoed without warning created much discussion for it is the first case of this threatened procedure carried out with Americans on board a beligerent vessel. Aside from the diplomatic questions in the case which were widely discussed tonight the sinking of the liner brought light on an interesting story of repeated threats and warning which had reached high officials several days past of the plan of the German ad- miralty to sink the Lusitania for the psychological effect it would have on Great Britain and the ter TOT it might spread among ocean travellers generally.
 The sinking of the Lusitania marks the climax of a series of incidents since the announcement of the Ger man war zone decree concerning which the American government has been silent It is now predicted that even though it develops that no American lives were lost general rep resentations will be made by the United States covering all cases in volved, including the death of Leon Thresher, an American citizen, on the American steamer Cushing, and the attack on the steamer Gulflight. which was wrecked with loss or three American lives.
 Information gathered among off cials of the government tended to confirm the belief that the plan for the destruction of the Luisitania was made several weeks ago. First. the

rornsdoed Without Warning

LONDON. May 7.-The Cunard liner Lusitania. which sailed out of New York last Saturday with more than 2000 persons aboard, lies at the bottom of the ocean off the Irish coast. She was sunk by a German submarine. which sent two torpedoes crashing into her side. while her passengers. seem ingIy confident that the vessel could cIude the German underwater craft. were having luncheon.
 How many Of the Lusitania's pas sengers and crew were rescued cannot be told at present. but official state mcnts of the British admiralty up to midnight accounted for not more than zoo or 500. There were dead and wounded among those brought ashore and some have since died. But not name of the rescued or lost. dead or injured has vet been officially listed.
 The Lusitania was steaminS along about ten miles off old Head Kinsale. on the last leg of her voyage to Liver pool. when about two o'clock in the af- ternoon a submarine suddenly ap- peared and so far as all reports go. fired two torpedoes without warning at the steamer. One struck near her bows and the other entered the en- zine room.

 Practically all of the Lusitania's pas sengers had an opportunity before de- parting to read d notice published in many newspapers by the German en- bassy warning transatlantic Voyagers that the ship was liable to destruction.
 Many who had read the notice laughed at it. as did the Cunard Line officials then their attention was called to it aboard ship. The best answer to the German note of warning was the fact that no passage was can celled. Moreover, there were ten ad- ditional bookings made in the saloon shortly beiOrc the Lusitania sailed

 Military leaders have assured Yuan Shi Kai that their support would continue. The handing in of the Japanese ultimatum brought out knowledge on one point which caused surprise here. It seems Japan, after insisting on the acceptance of her demands. suspended in the ultimatum discussion all of Group Five, with the exception of the demand bearing upon the F'ukien province. to which the Chinese had agreed in a reply last Saturday.
