HEAVY RAMS
LAST NIGHT
First Downpour Was at 1o:so O'Clock
and This Morning There Was
Heavy storm at One
O'clock.
BARN STRUCK, BURNED
Two HorsA and Colt Burned when
Bolt Set Fire to the Barn Of
Frank Hagmier at
Belmont.
BARN STRUCK, BURNED

Rainfall of 1.O1 inches was meas
ured by the government instruments
up to seven o'clock this morning.
The rain commenced falling last
night at 1890 o'clock, and was
accompanied by thunder. Again this
morning shortly after one o'clock a
heavy storm broke over the city and
there was heavy rain accompanied
by considerable lightning and thun-
der.
The lightning interfered with the
street light service for a short space
of time. and lightning struck barn
at Belmont during the storm. The
lightning seemed to be incessant dur
ing the storm, and the rainfall was
so heavy that cutters were unable to
carry off the water, and. streets were
overfiowed and macadam and paving
washed loose by the force of the
water.
Indications point to rise in the
river as result of this general storm.
Dubuque reported stage of water
above food mark this morning, and
the ice is out of the river. The river
will probably feel the effects OF the
big rain, and rising stage may be
looked for within day or so here.
Barn and iorses Burned.
Lightning struck the barn of Frank
Hagmeir at Belmont during the storm
last night and the resulting fire de-
stroyed the building and burned two
horses and a colt. The loss Is about
$500 and is covered with insurance
MANNERS of the household heard
the noise accompanying the striking
of the barn about 100 o'clock this
morning. They investigated, but a
superficial examination seemed t.
show nothing wrong. 1t is believed
that the fire started in the hay NOV
and was not discovered by the family
when they made their investigation
After they had returned to the house
and flames destroyed the barn ant
burned the horses.

SUICIDE PACT
OF TWO GIRLS
Stood up in Cafe and Shot Selves
With RevoIvers in Sight
Of Grove Of
Diners,

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service
PORTSMOUTH, New Hampshire,
March 23.-Mystery today surrounds
the double suicide Of Ethel Stanton,
%, Of Cincinnati, and Margaret
Spalding, IS. of Newton Center, Mass.
who shot them selves shortly before
last midnight in popular restaurant
here.
Not word, as far as the police
could find. was left behind to tell Of
the disappointments and the trials
that led up to the suicide pact. Only
a note. addressed to c. F. Malsbury,
Johnson building, Cincinnati, Ohio,
was found on Miss Stanton. And one
! intended for Mrs. G.. F. Spalding, SO
Paul street, Newton Center, was in
Miss Spalding's packet book.
Revelry was at it's height in the
cafe when both girls entered They
ordered meal and calmly ate it.
Then both stood up, faced each other
and sent bullets crashing through their
brains from 80 calibre revolvers. They
had occupied small stall, facing d.
rectly on the main dining room.
Diners leaped from their seats at the
sound of the shots The girls lay
across a table, each holding the. re-
volver that had ended their lives.
Miss Stanton died instantly and
Miss Spalding few hours later in a
hospital.
The note to Mrs Spalding was
brief. 1t told of the agreement of the
two girls to die together. 1t then
said:
do not feel bad. will meet you
in better world and will watch over
You and protect you"
Miss Stanton is believed to have
been a student at Wellesley. That
she first intended to go back to the
college is indicated by the fact that
a return ticket to Wellesley was
found in her bag
1t was learned today that Miss
Spalding was a physical culture
teacher in Boston. She graduated
from Newton high school last June.
Miss Stanton's father and mother
are divorced. The father. passen-
ger agent of the Rock Island rail
road, lives in Los Angeles. The
mother lives in Cincinnati

Alkali in Soap
Bad For 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 mulsihed 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 it
in. 1t makes an abundance of rich,
creamy lather, which rinses out easily,
removing every particle of dust, dirt,
dandruff and excessive oil. The hair
dries quickly and evenly, and it leaves
the scalp soft, ard the hair fine and
silky, bright, lustrous, fluffy and easy to
manage.
You can get muisifed cocoanut oil at
any pharmacy, it's very cheap, and few
ounces will supply every member of the
family for months.
