AT THE IMPERIAL
PRETTY MRS. SMITH IN MO-
TTON PICTURES FRIDAY
EVENING, SEPT. 10.

What would you do if you married
a missionary, went out 10 Africa with
him, tired of the life and came home?
Having received news that your hus-
band was dead, promptly proceeded
to marry another man with the same
last name.
With this husband you attempt
love in a cottage, and finding he is
not a good provider you threaten to
sue him for non-support. He disap-
pears, leaving a note of farewell PIN
ned TO his coat, which is discovered
at the edge of the sad sea waves.
Having thus disposed of No. 2, you
fall in love again, this time with a
wealthy clubman, athletically inclin-
ed, but of a jealous nature, and No.
3 threatens to sue for divorce. after
having left you to your own devices.
Now, suppose all three husbands
should reappear at one time, do you
think that you would really be a big
amist and what do you think you
would do? This is the situation in
which FRITZ Scheff finds herself in
the title role of Pretty Mrs. Smith. :"
The best method of solving this
problem is to see for yourself how
she does it.

west edge of the city, committed sui
eide today by taking carbolic acid.

her husband in the bathroom of

afternoon. Mr.. Bourne had been
away from home since morning, hav-
ing gone into the country after cat
tie. Calls to his wife elected no re-
Spouse. An investigation revealed
that the bathroom door was locked.
The door was broken down.
An empty bottle labeled carbolic
acid was found. That the idea to
do away with herself had not sud
denly overtaken Mrs. Bourne is indi-
Gated by the fact that at the drug
store where the bottle was purchased
it was said no carbolic acid had been
sold today, and that it was not
known when a woman answering
Mrs. Bourne's description had called
there. Relatives did not know the
woman was i'm possession of the
poison.
DR.. II. S. Westaby. who was called,
said Mrs. Bourne had probably been
dead a couple of hours or more. The
woman's lips and tongue had been
burned by the acid.
Mrs. Bourne had been in poor
health for two years or more
Friends said this afternoon that Of
late she had continually brooded e
her i'll health.
The last person to see Mrs. Bourne
alive was j. Quist. a neighbor. who

A young son who attends school
was unable to find his mother when
he went home at noon. He visited
several neighbors' houses in quest of
his parent.
Mrs. Bourne was as years of age.
She is survived by her husband, three
daughters and two sons. One daugh-
ter is married and the other two are

bridge south of town was completed
last week, but it will be about two
weeks more before the road will be
open to travel. The width of the
bridge is Is feet, which is wide
enough TO permit two vehicles TO
pass. 1t is the intention of the town

wide, and when completed the roads
leading into Chester will all be in
first class shape.

writing on a postal card, which was
picked up near the clothing store in

SCHOOL ATHLETICS
HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL SQUAD
STARTS PRACTICE.

The call for football candidates at
the high school resulted in Owe
twenty big huskies donning the foot
ball toys and reporting at the first
practice, which was held at the ath-
letic field. The new coach worked
the men easy, starting in with the
fundamental drills, such as falling on
the ball, charging, forward pass,
punting. blocking, etc. Some of the
new men look like good varsity ma
terial and will make the old men
work to keep their place.
With as good a schedule as ever
being booked it looks as if Madison
was going to be represented by a first
class high school football team-one
that will compare ~favorably with any
in the state. Let us back the boys
and help them do their best.

But NOT MUCH STEEL WILL BE
LAID On LUCE LINE
MAYOR BACK.

Calling of the militia to the Mex
ican border, in a measure. has had
the effect Of retarding track laying
on the Luce Electric line, which is
being built from Minneapolis in the
direction of Madison.
Mayor George Waskey returned
last night from Minneapolis. head
quarters of the Luce Electric line.
Mayor Waskey told that Col. +. ID
Luce, president of the company, had
found it necessary to spend most of
the last few months with his regi-
ment on the Mexican border. and had
been unable TO devote the time he
had planned to extension work. The
company has had a large force of
men grading and improving the road
bed from Minneapolis to Hutchinson,
between which two points the line
now operates. Four trains a day are
now being run regularly between
Minneapolis and Hutchinson.
While in Minneapolis Mayor Was
key took up with officials of the
Western Union Telegraph company
the matter of having two Western
Union cables removed from across
Egan avenue here. The Western
Union wires are now the only ones
which remain on this city's main
street, all electric light and telephone
wires having been run underground
or removed to alleys. The Western
Union wires cross Egan avenue be-
tween Fourth and Fifth streets.
