Raising Money Tor the EagIe.

Messrs. VIM. Van Gasken and J.
c. McRae, the acting members of
the finance committee, have demon
strated the wisdom of their selection.
They have $500 already pledged for
the 4Ch of July celebration and
5000 or 5000 more in sight. This
amount will enable us to have the
best speakers, good band, a grand
ball, and to offer most liberal prizes.
We are proud Of Bonner's Ferry.

beyond the most enthusiastic ex-
pectations. Everyone up from
Nelson, Ainsworth and Kaslo SAYS
a big crowd is coming from that
way. Up at Boulder, Lake and
Libby it is the same way. Dillman
says there will be train-load from
Spokane, and our own county
towns will certainly turn out a good
many.
We want to consider the ques-
ton, What are we going to do
with them? There will be money
enough to give them the best in
the land. Committeeman should
see to it that they have it.

He Receives the Nomination on
the First Ballot.
BLAiNE's sTRENeH ovERRATED
Harrison's Wonderful Showing Was
Susprise to His Supporters
The Vote In Detail.
Special to the HERALD.

Special to the HERALD.
The result of the first ballot was
as follows; Total vote, 9048; neces-
sary to choice, 453. Harrison.
535 Is, Mckinley, 1872; Blaine,
1872 1-6; Reed, 4; Lincoln, 8. Har-
rison received 80 more than enough
to nominate him. The iattempt of
the Blaine men to force Mckinley
was without effect other than to
evenly divide the Blaine forces.
The surprise is where Harrison re-
ceived his strength from when his
most sanguine supporters claimed
only 447 for him on first ballot.
Nominations for second place will
be made tonight, to which time
the convention adjourned on motion
of Depew.

Eaton Trustees, Meeting.

The board of trustees of the town
Of Eaton had meeting last Satur-
day evening at which important
business was transacted. A set of
ordinances were adopted, which will
be found elsewhere in the HERALD.
The board also elected city officers.
Edwin Doust was selected as town
marshal and w. E. r. Brewster as
police judge. John Donahoe was
selected as street commissioner.
Eaton now has a regular city gov
ernment. 1t occurs to the HERALD
that it would be wise move to in
corporate all the various additions
of Bonner's Ferry into one city
government. We never can have
our streets cleared or graded until
this is done, nor take proper pre-
cautions against fire. What do our
citizens think about it?

Deserve Mention.

There are quite a number of men
in Bonner's Ferry who deserve
special recognition in the columns
OF the HERALD this week, but for
reasons obvious to themselves their
names are not specially mentioned.
Their services as brave, honorable
and faithful citizens shall long be
remembered.

A CHINESE EXCURSION
Forty-Eight CeIestials Sudden
ly Emigrate.
CHINESE QUESTION SETTLED
The People Of Bonner's Ferry Arise in
Their Might and Eradicate
the Evil.
QUESTION SETTLED

The deed is done. The Chinese
question is settled forever in Bon
ner's Ferry. The ulcer is removed.
1t will never more be an eye sore to
the public. The fat has gone forth
that this is an American city; that
it is a white mans land; that
American labor and American in
dustry and American homes will be
protected. And when we use the
word american" we use it in the
broad sense which means all those
who assimilate with American Gus
toms and institutions, be they of
whatever race, color or previous
condition of servitude.
Last Saturday afternoon the peo-
pie of Bonner's Ferry arose en-
masse and declared that the Chin
ese nuisance should go. Late in
the afternoon several hundred de
termined men gathered in the
square formed by Main and Bon
ner streets. AT about 7:30 the line
of march was taken up and in a
quiet and orderly manner they pro-
ceeded down Main street to Koote-
mai avenue, thence up Kootenai
toward Eatonville. A short dis
tance across the bridge the citizens
halted in front Of the principal
Chinese dive Of the city. AS the
men came around the corner the
Chinese were seen to hustle into
the house and lock the door and it
had to be forced open. The Chin
ese were all huddled in the back
room and in the loft overhead.
Twenty-eight Cinnamon were found
here, but only one could be induced
to stick his head out at first. 1t
was explained to them that no
violence was intended, but that the
citizens wanted them to leave and
they were asked if they would go.
Replying in the affirmative they
were requested to be ready to move
in two hours. Leaving ten or fif-
teen men on guard the citizens
then proceeded to the laundry of
Quong Shing. Here the same per-
formance had to be gone through
with as also at the Chinese laundry
across from the Fry hotel.
No resistance or trouble was ex-
perienced whatever. Their bag
gage, which filled three wagons,
was soon gathered up. The differ
ent parties met at the corner Of
Main street and Kootenai avenue
and from there all marched to the
depot, where a special train con
sisting of an engine, two box-cars
and a caboose was waiting. Before
10 o'clock forty-eight Cinnamon
and their baggage were loaded on.
The train was soon on its way and
as it pulled out cheer after cheer
went up in qualification of the
good work that had been done.
The whole affair was done quietly
and expeditiously. No one was
hurt They were given plenty of
time to pack up. The proprietor
of each laundry house was left to
settle up his business. Their prop
erty will all be paid for. John
Chinaman is gone, and this ends
the chapter.

WHAT THE CANDIDATES MEAN


Quibbling over platform utterances in
this campaign will be the idlest of folly.
The two platforms fairly express the
purposes of the two parties, but the can
didates still more accurately represent
those purposes to the popular mind.
Mr. Cleveland's election will mean
lower taxes and relief to the people,
with an economical administration of
the government. Mr. Harrison's will
mean a still further advance towards
the ideal of the Mckinley bill-the taxa
ton of the people for the enrichment of
a favored class, the embarrassment of
trade and the aggrandizement of mon
opolies.
Mr. Clevelands election will mean an
end of bounties. Mr. Harrison's will
mean their enlargement.
Mr. Clevelands success will mean free
elections. Mr. Harrison's will mean the
force bill.
Mr. Cleveland's election will mean an
end of squandering. Mr. Harrison's will
inaugurate a new era of still greater ex.
travagance.
Mr. Cleveland's election will mean
government in the interest of the peo
pie. Mr. Harrison's will mean govern
ment in the interest of the plutocracy.
The people are called upon to say by
their ballots which of these policies they
prefer.

PRIVATE vengeance, the shooting
down of ones enemies without regard to
law, is to be considered as a symptom,
and dangerous one, OF the social con-
ditions of the day. So long as perpetra-
tors of such crimes are acquitted, or
juries are "fixed" to disagree, we must
expect to find popular distrust of the
law beginning to manifest itself where
reason and virtue are weakest. Even il
we reformed our system Immediately
we should still have to endure for a
long time the evil consequences of lax
administration-due to corruption-in
the past.

The Senate Free Coinage Bill Before tht
WASHINGTON, July 6.-The struggle
over the bill for the free coinage of sill

opened in the House yesterday. IL wa,
more of skirmish than a battle.
The issue was Joined as soon as the
Free Coinage bill was taken from the
Speakers table. Its natural reference
would, Of course, have been to the
Committee ON Coinage, Weights and
Measures, Ct which Bland, of Missouri
Is chairman.
Gen. Tracey, of New York, who %

the Bland Free Coinage bill, again as
sumed the leadership, by moving to re-
fer the Stewart bill to Committee on
Banking and Currency, of which Mr..
Bacon, of New York, an anti-silvel
man, Is chairman.
The issue was thus apparently Joined
but the House was unable to reach the
issue for hours. 1t see-sawed between
motions to adjourn, and calls Of tn,
House necessitated by the absence of 4
quorum, and after passing the after
noon in this Intellectual manner, in shee

ACCORDING to statement from the
pension office, the number of pension
certificates issued during the fiscal year
just closed was 305,762 In May last
Commissioner Raum testified before the
senate committee that 250,00O new
names would go on the pension rolls
during the fiscal year. So, assuming
that the certificates actually issued have
been for new names, the work of the
pension office has largely exceeded the
commissioners expectations. There are
now on the pension rolls about 900, 00C
names, and there are about 500, 00(
claims still pending. The appropriation
bill as it came from the house called fol-
$133 ,049, 366, and this was increased tt
$144 ,056,000 by the senate. With

it called for STAG, 737, $50. These
are enormous figures but they seen

YOUNG EASER RETURNS
But the Maspeth Mystery Seems
No Nearer Solution.
CORONER THINKS HIM INNOCENT

He Tells straightforward Story and In
Produces a New Character Into the Dark
Tragedy of Lizzie Buffers Death--His
Statements Corroborated.
NEW York, July 1.-THE sensation in
the Maspeth murder mystery yesterday
was the return to his home of Joseph
Easer, the young milkman whose disap-
pearance at the time uf the discovery of
Lizzie Buhler's mutilated body ON the
railroad track gave rise to a suspician
that he feared to remain in the neighbor-
hood and face investigation.
Young Easer was cool and straightfor-
ward, and his manner went far toward
convincing Coroner Brandon that he
was innocent Of all completely in the
death of the unfortunate girl.
He was subjected to a rigid examina-
ton by Coroner Brandon, but he told a
straight story, with the exception of q
few Insignificant contradictions.
After denying that he ever took Liz
zie to u picnic he said he often met
her at such festivities. He said he
never called ON her at her place Of
employment. At Feltman's picnic, six
or seven weeks ago, he saw her with q
strange man, who was thin, tall, well
dressed, about 81 years OF age, and
rather dudish in appearance.
The last time he saw Lizzie was on
Sunday a week ago, the Sunday before
| her death. He denied that Lizzie ever
reproached him for any misconduct OF
| told him she was in trouble.
The young man was released on his
own recognizanoe and Coroner Brandon
sent out his Pinkerton detective tc
verify his statements and the detectives
| report was in Easer's favor.
Efforts will be made to find the dude
| ish young man who Joe Easer saw will
her at Feltman's picnic. Kate, wht
| worked with Lizzie for the Snyder fami
ly, says that Lizzie frequently
| spoke affectionately of a young man
| whose name she had forgotten. Thil
proves Lizzie had another admirer.
