HEART FAILS when
He TRIES SUICIDE
Fate interviewed to Prevent LOvesick
Youth from Taking Own Life
at Memphis.

Memphis, Tenn. March S.-The life
less body Of Frank Holmes, apparent
~ about 20 years of age, was found
in a rooming house late this after
noon.
Holmes registered as from San An
tonic. Texas. A love letter was found
in his pocket, from a girl in Palestine,
Texas. An unfinished letter, presum-
ably addressed to the Palestine girl,
was found on a table near the body.
A quantity of morphine was also
found, but the doctors said Holmes
died of heart failure and that it was
not a case of suicide.
One page Of the unfinished letter
read:
Dearest: You don't know how
miserable am feeling, sitting here
in this lonely room. thinking about
you away Off there"
This was as much as Holmes had
written, when death overlook him.
A paragraph of the letter from the
girl read:
ct almost broke my heart for you
to go. Write me often, for l will al
ways love you. Frank, you don't
know how much l have cried or how
many miserable hours l have spent
only a girl can know"
While the authorities do not know
the surname of the girl. they will
make an effort to locate her.

Careless Use of
Soap Spoils the Hair

Soap should be used very carefully, if
you want to keep your hair looking its
best. Most soaps and prepared sham
poos contain too much alkali. This
dries the scalp, makes the hair brittle,
and ruins it.
:. The best thing for steady use is just
ordinary mulsifed cocoanut oil (which
is pure and greaseless), and is better
than the most expensive soap or any
thing else you can use.
One or two teaspoonfuls will cleanse
the hair and scalp thoroughly. Simply
moisten the hair with water and rub i
In. It makes an abundance of rich
creamy lather, which rinses out easily
removing every particle of dust, dirt
d4ndruff and excessive oil. The hair
dries quickly and evenly, and it leaves
the scalp soft, and the hair fine and
silky, bright lustrous, fluffy and easy
to manage.
You can get mulsifed cocoanut oil at
any pharmacy, it's very cheap, and few
ounces will supply every member of the
family for months.

IMMIGRATION AT Low EBB.

Washington, March 8.-The nations
net gain in population in January
was only 1903 as a result. of immigra-
ton, the commissioner of immigra-
ton announced today. This small
percentage of increase, as compared
with months before the outbreak OF
the European war;. is due to the con-
tinued decline in arrivals from Eu-
rope, and to the large outflow Of for
eigners returning to their native
lands.
During the month, 21,300 aliens
were admitted, but the departures
numbered 14,005. A total of sos were
debarred for many causes, chiefly on
the ground that they were likely to
become public charges. Italians fig
ured most prominently in the alien
movement. One thousand, nine hun
bred and twenty-three were admitted
while 1888 left the country. England
contributed 2,499 new residents, 49t
of that nationality returned home
Despite the war, Greeks continue tc
come over in comparatively large
numbers. One thousand, six hundred
and nineteen were admitted to U. S
ports, chiefly at New York. Only 22t
left for Greece.

OPPOSE MCCLELLAN BILL.
University Board Thinks Military
School Measure Bad.

Little Rock, March S.-The Arkan-
sas delegation in congress has been
petitioned by the administrative
council Of the University Of Arkansas
to oppose the passage of the Nickel
lar military school bill.
The principal objection is that 1t IS
bad piece of educational machinery
since it puts large financial Durdeh
on the various states, and provides a
course of study too difficult for the
students who would be admitted IN
accordance with it's provisions.
The council. however, endorsed the
Pomerene bill, which has been made
a part of the administration program
of preparedness and incorporated into
the omnibus bill introduced by Sena-
tor Chamberlain.
