RUSSIAN WOMAN
ENDS HER LIFE

Good bye, you won't see me any
more" were the parting words of
Stefanida Shushkovsky, a Russian
woman, to the man with whom she
had been living, just before she tied
a rope around her neck and hanged
herself in her rooms in Aala lane Sat
urday night. Death resulted from
strangulation. she had apparently
been hanging for two hours before
discovered. The dead woman's hus-
band is serving prison term at the
oahu penitentiary.
Police officers heard cries for help
coming from the house in Aala lane
Saturday night, and breaking down
the door, discovered the body Of the
woman hanging 1ro- the ceiling. The
man with whom she had b. n living
was attempting to lift the body to
lessen the strangu- Gtion, but he was
unable to cut the rope. One of the
police officers cut away the rope, but
the woman was dead. No reason was
given for the suicide, other than she
had been drinking.

MANY HAVE WRONG
IDEA Of B. W. R.
Unemployed Boys to be Placed
in Positions to Best
Advantage.

A successful meeting OF the boys

in the assembly room Of the city IL
brary. Ralph w. Jernegan and d.

pointed by the county council Of de-
Tense, having charge OF the meet
ing The lieItenants appointed at
the previous meeting reported that
about 100 application cards had
been distributed with the promise
of securing that many members. An
other meeting will be held at the
library Thursday evening.
An erroneous idea Of the purpose
of the organization has been formed
5y some OF the parents Of the boys.
They are Of the opinion that the or
sanitation is of a military nature.
and fearing that their sons were
about 20 be enlisted into an organ

youngsters going To the front, they
have vetoed the suggestion of their

NE VI RURAL MAIL
ROUTE IN COUNTY
Local Office Adds Third Route
Which Will Bene-
fit City.

Several hundred more names have
been added 10 the population enum-
Grafton Of AIishawaka by the addi-
ton OF a third rural route 20 the To-
cal postOffice. Heretofore, but two
routes have extended from this Of
fee. Postmaster Herzog has been
working on the addition for some
time. and Thursday, when the route
is opened. he viii make the first trip
with the carrier William a. Brady.
The new route covers nearly %
miles and extends into the eastern
and southern part Of the county,
taking in considerable new territory
that has never been served by the
free mail delivery, and all of the
mail customers on what was former
~ OsceOla route 30. 1. Another
Osceola route Go. p has been dis
continued from that office and will
be served from the Mishawaka Of
fee. 1t will continue 10 be known
as route No. ?.
The rearranging of the route and
making the additions viii mean a
much bette. service for all, due to
the increased number OF mail trains
supplying Mishawaka daily. All
three carriers, when the roads are
in good condition, will be able TO
cover their routes and be back home
by about noon each day.
A decided advantage to the city
will result in adding many names Of
prominent farmers of the county to
the local mail lists who have here
tofore practically been inaccessible
70 the local merchants. An in
creased volume of business here will
no doubt result from the change.

Railroads Haul Mere Coal
Reports just compiled by the war
board show that the railroads have
already effected an extraordinary
improvement in the amount of coal
handled in the country as a whole
AS its first important official act
the board directed railroads TO give
preference 70 the movement OF
coal.
Reports to the United States
government. just available. show
that in June the railroads hauled
$50, 1928 cars of bituminOus coal, an
increase of 1852 per cent over June
last year.
That the railroads are also pro-
viding a much more nearly ad-
equate transportation service for ali
freight is indicated by the fact that

both the 1916 yield and the five-year

Apples, watermelons and other

CORRECT MISCONCEPTIONS.

A decidedly wrong impression has
been formed by some persons as
the result of the publishing of the
reason for a slight difficulty between
Maurice Meunich and Earl Klingle
which resulted in each films charges
against the other in city court and
which were heard by Judge FeiS
Tuesday morning. The difficulty be-
tween the two two because Of the
refusal of Mr.. Meunich TO be re-
sponsible for another's alleged debt.
Mr.. Meunich and his family are
highly respected people and that
anyone should place the wrong con-
struCtion on the unfortunate Incl
dent is to be regretted.
