Saturday night when Clyde Fitch's stir
ring play of the Revolutionary days,
"Nathan Hale," with all the massive
scenery and elaborate costumes seen
during its long New York production at
the Knickerbocker theater. "Nathan
Hale" isessentially an American play,
written by one of our foremoet Ameri
can authors, it deals with a purely
American subject. It is full of historical
personages, and the atmosphere of those
dark days of the early struggles of the
patriots is faithfully preserved. Mr.
Howard Kyle, who plays the title role,
has attained the reputation of one of our
loremoft leading men. He is a great
metropolitan favorite and is physically
and intellectually admirably suited to
embody Nathan Hale.
George Thompson, alias John Doe,
the crazy man who attempted suicide
by jumping into the Columbia riyer
near Celilo Tuesday afternoon, attempt
ed to hang himself last night in his cell
in the county jail. Unhooking his ham
mock from the rings that held it sus
pended between the walls ot the cell,
Thompson tore a woolen blanket into
strips and tying the strips together
fastened one end to a hatntnpek book
with a loop ronnd his neck, and thus
throwing the most of his weight on the
improvised rope, tried to choke himself
to death. Notwithstanding that the
hook was less than five feet from the
ground, and not nearly the full weight
of the man's body was resting on it, the
rope broke and Thompeon lull heavily
to the floor of the cell. The noise mude
by tho fall was heard by Jailor Fitzger
ald, who rushed to the cell and, discov
ering thu cause, telephoned for the
sheriff. Thompson would give no rea
son for his attempted suicide, or even
talk about it, further than to say that
his bunk had fallen down, and it wasn't
his fault because he was ten pounds too
heavy. At 3:30 this morning the poor
fellow was put on tho cars and taken by
Deputies Sextcn and Wood to the in
sane asvlum.

Representative M. A. Moody has Be
cured several thousand copies of the
Montana Report on Poisonous Plants,
by V. R. Chestnut and E. V. Wilcox,
which he will mail, a copy each as far as
they will go, to every stockman in this
congressional district. In a private
letter to Mr. Moody Mr Chestnut calls
special attention to the plates in the re
port illustrating two varieties of lark
spur and death camas, the text corres
ponding with them, together with that
treating of water hemlock and that rela
tive to the use of per-manganate of pot
ash as an antidote. The two larkspurs,
Mr. Chestnut says, are'very similar, but
not quite identical, with those found in
Oregon. The death camas is the same,
and the water hemlock, although hav
ing a different kind of a root system,
has the same toxic action as tho Oregon
epecies.
It may be added that Mr. Chestnut,
on a recent hasty trip through partB of
Wasco, Sherman and Gilliam counties,
discovered the poisonous plants above
mentioned. He is now making some in
vestigations as to poisonous plants in
the western part of the state, but will
return to Montana in a short time to
complete his researches in tiiat state.
Next season he expects to be ordered by
the agricultural department to make an
exhaustive investigation of the poison
ous plants of Oregon.
Mm. I'eterx' Afternoon.
A most delightful party from start to
finish was the one given yeterday after
noon by Mrs. Joseph T. Deters to a large
number of her lady frieifuB. Mrs. Peters
is an adept in the pleasant art of enter
taining, and undei the spell of her
genial and lavish hospitality the guests
spent an afternoon tiiat will long be re
membered. The rooms were very much admired,
there being large branches af dogwood
ever v where; roses and carnations were
aleo in evidence.
There was much merriment for nearly
two hours over a game ofhearts, wheij
Mrs. John Marden claimed' the head
prize, a bunch of red carnations, in an
exquisite dresden vase,and Mrs. W. E.
Garretson, of Pendletpn, the consola
tion, a beautiful bound copy of "A Win
dow in Thrums."
A delicious lunch was served in the
bright, cheerful dining-room, which was
discussed for nearly an hour, when tho
guests entered the parlors again for a
"brief" chat, which, however continued
unabatedly until the ladies bade each
other good-bye at tho various places of
parting, where they invariably stopped
for a moment to expatiate on the de
lightful hours they had spent.
