" IN WYOMING.
"In Wyoming," that popnlar drama
of western ranch life on the frontier
will be seen here in the near future,
Dealing in a breeiy style with the
stirring events at the Dalbyjnch in
the Valley of the Big Horn, a"thwarU
cd attempt at cattle rustling ..-with a
pleasing comedy vein and delightful
romance running through it, the story
of "lit Wyoming" possesses a fasci
nation difficult to tist,. It is replete
with stirring scenes and tense situa
tions'and always holds the closest in
terest from start to finish.

Footballista
i Probably never before has "the
football "fever" been at a higher de
gree in Astoria than during the pres
ent winter season. The fact that in
the Hts School has turned out a
successful team perhaps has some
thing to do -with it, and the entbu
siatn has sprea dthrough all the
grammar grades. Some of the young
er boys have organised elevens and
spend their spare hours in studying
the rules of the game and in reading
the sporting pages of the daily pa
pers. Mothers who, never heard
much of football games before now
are in doubt whether to be proud of
their growing sons when they talk of
their weight, stripped, and of their
ability to tackle low, or to look upon
the whole thing with horror. Some
yonng men who never thought much
of going to college now are figuring
night and day on how best to get
there, with the great and laudabb
ambition of "making" the college
eleven. There's no doubt that young
er Astorian has the football fever
good and hard.

Young Man Writes in Diary Before
" ' Killing Himself.
FORT WORTH, Texas. Dec 18-
It is going to be a bigger job than I
at first thought? I hope I make a
success of it I never did make
success of anything else."
After penning this notation in a 12
hour diary which time he spent con
templating the act, Patrick Dooley, a
resident of this city, swallowed a
quantity of carbolic acid at a railway
depot here early today, dying before
medical aid arrived.
At 6 o'clock last night Dooley
wrote of trying to think of some way
of avoiding suicide but that he was
ill and homeless. He referred in en
dearing terms to his mother and sis
ter. A little later he complained be-
cause the only way he could find it
possible to kill Himself was by swal
lowing carbolic acid. At different
times during the night he wrote of
his despondency and warned young
men of whisky and bad companions,
concluding with the expression quot
ed above.
