Minister Admits Killing Two.
Rev. Lawrence M. Hight, of Ina,
III., signed a new confession Monday
in which he said he poisoned his wife,
Anna, and bought the- poison with
which Mrs. Milford Sweetin killed
her husband. They had planned to
be married, the minister admitted.
Mrs. Sweetin was ordered arrested.
Early in the day the Ina clergyman
had signed confessions that he had
administered poison to both his wife
and Sweetin. Until this afternoon he
had steadfastly maintained that Mrs.
Sweetin was in no way to blame.
Fearing possible mob action, State's
Attorney Frank (i. Thompson tele
phoned the sheriff's office at Ina,
asking the jniler to throw a guard
around the jail. Thompson said feel
ing was running high at Ina. Fifteen
special deputy sheriffs- were sworn
in immediately.
BOBBED HAIR IS PASSING
J Few Cemden (iirln Able To Take Thlt
Admonition (aood-Nnturedly.
I
i Paris, Sept. 13.- Bobbed ?hftfr, in
{going out of fashion, if the Parisian
? hairdressers are to be* believed. The
hairdressers, however, admit that
thousandth of women still are having
their tresses cut short and that husi
nes was never so good, but they
1 affirm that some women who had
their hair shortened in order to be
[chic "ow a,t* repenting their ait,
! cause they have discovered that
putting the clipper and the razor to
their necks has developed a nice crop
J of wiry instead of silken hftir, which
resembles a day's growth of beard
on the face of a man.
At any rate, enterprising hair- '
dressers are encouraging their
patrons to let their hair grow again j
and are promoting the business of '
their allies, the milliners, for the
wearing of some sort. of contraption
for the concealment of thu back of
the neck and straggly hair during the
long, slow process of its growing out
again.
"And so there you are, madame,"
said one ironical marcel waver to t
" ' ..... : [
woman. "T,o be beautiful there is .1
lot of nice little suffering before you.
You might have known that on-e
your hair was cut it would be nec
essary some day or other to let it
grow again."

New York, Sept. 24.? The Giants
and Senators by winning today, need
only to take three of the four games
each has yet to pluy in order to clinch
the pennants in their respective

and Yankees wjnv their remaining
contests.
York maintained its one game j
lead oyer Brooklyn and shoved Pitts*
burgh to three and one-half contests
back of first place by beating the
Pirates today, 4 to 2. Pittsburgh now j
must win its six games to play, while '
