ARMS AND THE MAN"

The senior class of the High school is to give one of the best modern plays at it's s-commencement offering When Bernard Shaw wrote Arms and the Man." he not only wrote fine comedy or, as he prefers to call it, pleasant play" with an interesting story concerning four fine young peo-- pie, but also satire on militarism with all it's sham, pretense and other disagreeable qualities. But whether the listener cares for merely the com edy or the satire or both, he is sure to enjoy the play as a whole.
 This play has not only proven a suc- cess on the professional stage, but has also been favorite play for amateur production by school organizations, so the public need not feel that the class is undertaking too much.
 Not the least of the evenings en- tertainment will be furnished by Adams orchestra, which will furnish several standard selections.

PRETTY PIRTLEvILlE GIRL
 KILLS HER NEWBORN BABY

DOUGLAS, May 15.-That she de- liberately killed her newborn baby because it was an illegitimate child is the charge made by officers against Maria Valdez, pretty young Mexican woman of Pirtleville, aged about 25, who is now in the county hospital and against whom d charge of murder will be filed as soon as she is able to leave the hospital, officers say.
 The Valdez woman was married a number of years ago, but her husband is said to have left town four years ago. The child, a perfectly formed boy weighing about ten pounds, was born Sunday morning. According to neighbors, the young woman threw the child in an outhouse shortly after it's birth, from which place it was res cued some time later. The matter was reported to Pirtleville officers of the law and the mother and baby were rushed to the county hospital, where the child died early Monday morning as the result of exposure and mal- treatment. There were contusions and bruises in many places on the child s body.
 The baby was buried this afternoon in the local cemetery at county ex- pense. The mother is not in serious condition and in the next few days will have to answer the charge against her.
