with i'll health, Lena Abel Lowe, age,

her own life by drinking poison in her
room at 125 North Washington street.

and running upstairs found her dying.
1t is said by Dorena Lowe, that
Lena had been engaged to a young

I DR.. Henry Lawrence Southwick
president of the Emerson School of
Oratory OF Boston will give "The Riv-
ais" by Richard Brinsley Sheridan at
the university auditorium Tuesday
evening of next week, May 80. Upon
his previous appearances in Moscow,
Dr. Southwick has been greeted with
large audiences, who have pronounce
ed him one of the most delightful en-
tertainers that have appeared in the
city. On this visit, DR.. Southwick will
be in Moscow two days, remaining over
the day following his entertainment to
deliver the memorial address on May
80.
THE Rivals" which DR.. Southwick
will read has been given twice by
dramatic organizations of the univer-
sity. In 1900 it was presented under
the direction of DR.. Aurelia Henry
Rhinhart, then of the English depart
ment of the university, now president
of Mills College of California. Such
well known allumnae as Edna Moore
Baker, of Walla Walla, Benjamin OPP
penheim of Boise, and Homer David
and William E. Lee of this city carried
the heavy roles. Again in 1912, the
last play presented by the old prepar-

Miserable Skunks.

Some degenerate character has
been working in Winslow the
past week or ten days poisoning
dogs, and last Monday night he
got two fine Airedales belonging
to Joe CarraWay. Joe has gone
with the army, and he left his
dogs in care Of his friend George
Wrench, who has been careful to
keep the dogs closely penned.
The kennel is back from the
fence, and the only way poison
could be put in it was for the party
to enter the yard. Mr.. Wrench
is so justly indignant that any
person would perpetrate such an
outrage that he has offered a re-
ward Of $50 for information that
will bring the guilty parties to
Justice.

New York Election.

In a four cornered mayoralty
contest in New York City last
Tuesday the Tammany candi-
date, John F. Hylan, was elected
by an estimated plurality of 100,
600. But the really interesting
feature of the election to the
country at large is the probabili-
ty that woman suffrage has won
the day in the Empire state.
The, suffragists had made an
active campaign and were full of
enthusiasm of victory, which was
not shared by even some of the
supporters Of suffrage, knowing
the character of the political
powers in that state. The result
in New York has advanced the
cause Of national suffrage more
than any other factor since the
nation wide movement was insti-
tuted.

Booze Peddlers in Court.

Last Monday was the bootleg
gers day in court, and five men
from Winslow appeared before
Judge Sapp and pleaded guilty
to violating the law, and the
total fines assessed amounted to
5000. The Judge overlooked
that portion of the law that says
jail sentences could also be i'm
posed. If illicit whiskey selling
is to be stopped violators of the
law must be given stiff Jail SEN
tences. Imposing fines only pro-
vokes the offenders to a greater
activity in the business to recov-
er the money paid out in fines,
but if they have to serve eigh-
teen months in the county jail
they will hesitate to get into the
business again.
