himself glad, for Miss Houck told it

"Mrs. McDuffy an Baseball." was

Marion Emmons with her violin
charmed her hearers. Her interpre

WANT TO QUIT TOBACCO?
,If you want to quit tobacco or to use,
less. Ret a package of-Nlcotol tablet
from your druggmt . l ou will be ur-
prised how easy It is to quit. Nicutol
drives nicotine from your system and
Hills the craving for tobacco, and )o!
the tobacco habit quits you. All drug
gist are authorized to sell Niootol un
der a steel-bound money-back euaran
too, so it coats you little to quit and
nothing: if Nicotol fails.
Note Ask your druggist what others
say about the wonderful power of Nic
otol to break the tobacco habit. He
knows an.d he can be trusted to tell you
the full truth.

Major P. W. Leadbetter, the mov
ing, spirit of Salem's paper mill, was
in Salem yesterday, looking over the
work of construction and prepara
tion, and he is satisfied with the
progress being made. In common
with all others interested, he is anx
ious to get the wheels to turning at
the very earliest date possible. The
price of the quality of paper that will
be the first main output of the Sa
lem mill has been skyrocketing late
ly. Tbe increase in price that has
taken place since the construction of
the Salem mill was begun is suffi
cient to yield very handsome returns
on the investment, as high as the
coats are for all laborand materials.

Huirt UuiU Salem
It was ascertained that Katherine
Kruse was married to Watson at
Nelson. It. C. seven years ago and
that thiy lived in different parts of
Canada until last Christmas season
when they came to Salem. The fain
ily with whom Mrs. Watson now lives
had brought her tip as a girl. Soon
after their arrival in Salem Mr
Watson went east. Fhe would not say
where. In response to a telegram an
nouncing the desth of her father
NN aen sbo returned to Salem she
found ber husband had gone to Los
Angeles. As tbe story was told last
night she had not seen him since,
though it is said ahe has been in
communication with him. Relative
to their domestic relations before
coming to Salem .neither Mrs. Wat
son nor ber friends would have any
thing to say.
Finances Limited
Mrs. "Watson's friends say that ber
husband placed, a small amount or
money In a San Diego bank on her
account, but that her financial means
is limited and that she expects to
go to work. Also they say she ex
peets to make her home. In Salem.
They declare she Is of Irreproachable
character and that she is an innocent
victim of Huirt, or Watson. Further.
it is declared. Tier marriage certifi
cate has been Investigated and found
to be legal. She has no knowledge.
it is said, of any marriage of Wat
son prior to tfteir wedding at Nelson
n. C. She disclaims knowledge of
his ever having been an inmate of
any insane asylum.
According to her friends Mrs. Wat
son takes the attitude that her hus
band's case is in the hands of the
authorities and that she is an inno
cent onlooker who will not act in
the case unless summoned as a wit
ness. If the California laws are the
rame as the Oregon laws, it Is said.
she cannot be compelled to testify
against her husband.
