Tho note written by Mrs. Downs Is In
dicative of a suicide past, or elso a tit of
temporary Insanity on the part of the
mother, friends say.
Miss Downs had been 111 tor a number

their loneliness prayed upon the mind of
Mrs. Downs.
CHILDREN'S CLOTHES
EASILY FIRE-PROOFED
How to make children's clothing almost
fireproof la told by Dr. Jennie Laird for
the help of mothers. Hhq says an ounce
of either alum or sat ammonia dissolved
In the 6rdlnary amount of rinse water
or starch water on wash day renders cot
ton clothing washed therein praoticalty
fireproof, or at least not liable to catch
fire, from ordinary causes. Although
rather late for Fourth of July use this
suggestion may be followed all summer
as a precaution against accidents from
children playing with matches.

GUS RENZE READY FOR THEM
Home Doctors Ilemln Three Days'
Convention In Omaha Monday
anil -Will Stop at the
Devil's Hotel.
The retailers of Omaha and the veteri
narians of the Missouri valley ore to be
Jointly entertained and Initiated at the
Den Monday night. Pecallar combina
tion perhaps, but that Is the combination
exactly.
Well, It happens this way. Long ago
It was arranged to make Monday night
retailers' night That Is, the retailers of
Omaha were to have a night set apart
as the night In which particular atten
tion would be given to playing a program
adapted to them at the Den. This Js the
night the retailers are to be out In full
force. It is the night those retailers who
Joined Ak-Sar-Ben months ago must go
to the Den to see the Initiation of those
of the retailers who were dragged Into
tho membership within the last few days.
Now then, the Missouri Volley Veteri
nary society Is to hold a big convention
In Omaha beginning Monday morning. A
special train la coming from Des Moines
bringing a crowd of veterlnarles from
Iowa. A big bunch Is expected down from
South Dakota, and no end of veterlnarles
of Nebraska will bo In. Samson has long
mado It a policy not to let anyone from
out In the state or from any other state
get away without seeing the show at the
Den and being Initiated Into the great
order of Ak-Sar-Br If they chanced to
be in the city on Monday evening. So
he has set his cap for at least ) vet
erlnarles who will be In the city on that
night. He has invited them to come out
to the Den. and in fact a committee will
see to it that this worthy bunch finds its
way to tho king's headquarters.

WYOMING CATTLE ARE IN
THE BEST OF CONDITION
A. D. Marriott leaves the middle of the
week for his Wyoming ranch in the
Sweetwater country, where he will re
main during the balance of the summer.
He has a large number of cattle on the
range and reports from there Indicate
that they are doing unusually well. All
through northern Wyoming the rainfall
Ha been greatly above the normal and
the native gross Is said to be the heavi
est in years.
Heavy Exodus from
City for the Fourth
Notwithstanding the fact that thousands
of people went out of the city In auto
mobiles, passenger agents at the depot
assert that the exodus to the country has
been 25 per cent greater than on any pre
vious Fourth of July, while the number
coming in has been less.
The travel out Is taken to mean that
the city people have a desire to get Into
the country for a couple of doyii, and
Sunday following the holiday this year
It gives them two days away from busi
ness. The small number of people com
ing to the city Is sold to be accounted
tor by the fact that most of the town
In this territory are holding celebrations,
and their patrons prefer remaining at
home Instead of traveling.
About 400 took the early special train
to Sioux City to witness the auto races.
Iowa and Dakota
Editors Invited Here
Editors of Iowa and South Dakota have
been .Invited to Join with the editors of

program of entertainment is being ar
ranged that will keep the editor busy
from, morning until night while they are
here, and in the evening Samson will en
tertain them at the Den. Samson ha
prepared a letter wherein King Ak-Sar-Ben
extends the editors an Imitation to
meet him at his Den on the night of
July 30.
Oldest Cars Pressed
Into Service Here
This afternoon the street railway com
pany Is running cars of the vintage of
the date Just following the old horse cars.
Cars that were used on the old cable and
the Mercer motor lines have been pressed
Into the service to carry passengers.
Indications are that with the street
railway company this Is to be one of
the bumper days, exceeded oply by the
day of the Ak-Sar-Ben festivals. The
travel is unusually heavy on account of
so many celebrations being held In the
city.
