Helen, seeing it from the walls of

west Tomorrow.

Alaskan Adventures, will be shown at the South Congregational church Sunday night
 Armed only with bow and arrow and cameras, Arthur Young, worlds champion bow and arrow expert, and Captain Jack Robertson, ex- plorer and adventurer. set out to conquer the thrills and beauties of Alaska for motion picture fans. For year and q half they covered un- known territory on foot and by dog team. Going from the south, they reached the hoadwaters of the Yu- kon, after travelling miles through treacherous country, and were re- warded with the magnificent spec tacle of the spring ice brcak-up of the river. Scenes of the birth of giant icebergs, Of the fight of the salmon to get up the river to it's spawning beds, Of streams where trout and salmon may be scooped out with the bare hand, and are the playthings of baby bears, are inter- spersed with thrilling moments Of suspense when giant Kodiak bears, moose and other wild animals charge down upon the little party protected only with MT. Young's bow. The strange gIories Of the mid night sun, the Valley of Ten Thous- and Smokes. and the sharing of wild ducks by means of nets spread In mid-air over the cliffs, are fascinat- ing subjects to child or scientist, alike.

POISON ATTEMPT
 ON REMUS' LIFE
Strychnine-Candy Reported Sent
 to Prisoner

Cincinnati, O., Nov. P-Sheriff William Anderson, and city officials were making an investigation today 10 ascertain whether an attempt was made on the life of George Remus, who is being held prisoner in the Hamilton county jail for the staying of hts wife. Imogene, by means of poisoned candy.
 The former bootleg king received a. box of candy. bearing a New ' ork postmark, yesterday, which was reported to contain poison. Of ticials were inclined to believe that it was a practical joke or a fake, but they turned the candy over to the city chemist for analysis.
 The candy. in a tin container, ad- dressed in a feminine hand, arrived by mail and was turned over to 'Eemus. Remus passed the container to some of the jail guards and took a piece himself.
 Biting into the candy, Remus, who at one time was a chemist, de- tected the presence in the candy of a substance which he said tasted like strychnine.
 He cautioned the guards not to eat the candy, but Samuel Me Queen, one of them, already had swallowed q piece and asserted that 1t made him ill. Emetics were ad- ministcrcd. and McQuecn's stomach was cleared of it's contents. How ever, a rise in his temperature was noted and he was placed in q bed at the county jail.
 The package did not bear a re- turn address.
