A drive Of five minutes took me to one
of the most interesting houses in all New
England-the Roger Williams or "Witch
house" Though the Oldest house in
Salem or vicinity, it has not the old look.
The New England habit of renewing roofs,
clapboards, doors and windows, and of
applying paint in fresh coats every spring,
has sadly modernized the exterior. This
house is nearly 275 years old, having been
erected about 1926. 1t was owned in 1856
by Roger Williams, who was "teacher" of
the First church in 1881 and it's minister
in 1634-5.
Possibly il brave Roger Williams had
not been prosecuted into his flight through
q wintry wilderness to found the colony of
Rhode Island, and had continued to teach
the Salemites in the First church, there
might have been enough intelligence in
the old village to quell the witch delusion
without drowning it in flood of blood.
Two hundred years ago this house was
occupied by Jonathan Gown, one OF the
Judges in the witchcraft trials, and some OF
the examinations of accused persons were
held in its rooms. There is now drug
store in one corner of the house, and as
Mrs. Upham neatly says in her book,
Nothing more impish goes from there
now than the witch hazel, which the apoth'
ecary will sell you from one part OF the
ancient building" The only witchery
could see about the premises was that Of
the eyes of an uncommonlv pretty Puritau

A Mysterious Kleptomaniac.
Especial correspondence

BAKERSFIELD, Cal, Sept. 24.-Some men
who have just returned from hunting
expedition in the mountains beyond the
TETON pass are telling joke on themselves
which stopped just short of being a trag-
edy.
There were three of them, and they made
their camp in deserted prospector's cabin
and were having a splendid time when
mysterious things began to happen.
Their things disappeared from the cabin
as if by magic. Articles of food, soap,
towels, tincups and plates, combs aud
toothbrushes, cartridges, knives and forks,
porous plasters and quinine capsules-any-
thing and everything which they left lying
around loose was sure to be spirited away.
AS they didn't believe in ghosts, the only
alternative was to accuse one another of
playing practical jokes Each one of them
denied solemnly that he knew anything
more about the matter than the others did.
1t began to be uncanny, and the general
situation was very uncomfortable, for
each one of the men privately suspected
the other two of being in league against
him and of trying to frighten him into
a belief that it was ghosts, and proposing
that they should clear out.
Diplomatic relations in that hunting
party had already become badly strained
when pocketbook full of money and i'm
portant papers disappeared. Its owner
had laid it on box, which served as ta-
BILE. and forgotten it while he went out to
clean his guns. Another member of the
party had staid at home for the same pur-
pose, and as these two were the only per-
sons who had been inside the cabin the
man who had lost the purse began to
lose his temper also. He said that if that
was practical joke the thing had gone
rather too far, and if it wasn't And
then they advanced rapidly from hints, in
situations and angry looks to hot.words
and quarrel. Epithets flew back and
forth, both men reached for their revolvers,
and in another minute somebody might
have been killed, but just then there was
a loud whoop from the cabin, and the third
hunter came running down to the spring
where they were, shouting:
"Boys, I've found the ghostp'
He had returned unexpectedly to see if
he couldn't catch somebody or something,
and thought he heard a noise inside a big
box which the prospector had left stand
ing outside against one end of the cabin.
He investigated, and some little brown
and black spotted animals, larger than
rats, ran away. Then he found that the
box was half full of the things they had
been losing Everything was there, even
to some old letters and sticks of kindling
wood, and not a thing had been gnawed or
harmed.
An old timer came along soon afterward,
and they learned that their burglars were
wood rats-the most confirmed kleptoma-
MACS that ever lived. +. Z. K

This precinct has no candidate

Grand Commemoration Exer-
cises at Bonner's Ferry.
THE EAGLE WILL SCREAM
An Enthusiastic Meeting Held Last
Night to Start the Ball Rolling
---Anothe- Tonight.

A number of business men gath.
cred at the Office Of Judge William
II. Chambers last evening to con
slider the subject of celebrating our
natal day.
Judge J. G. Harkness was elected
chairman of the meeting and Judge
John Hoban secretary.
The meeting was enthusiastic for
a celebration here on the 4th and
it was decided to commence extern
sive preparations for such an event
at once.
Messrs. HI. II. Holley, John Don
ahoe and e. l.. McEachron were
appointed committee on transpor-
tation and Nessrs. A. d. Walker,
A. L. Jamison and G. p. Lamberton
on advertising and printing.
1t was stated at the meeting
that there was a proposition on foot
to have joint celebration with the
towns in the Kootenai lake country;
that is to say there will be an
excursion arranged so that parties
may celebrate dominion day at
Nelson and Ainsworth on the 1st
and I'd and the 4th at Bonner's
Ferry. There is do doubt but there
will be large attendance from the
Kootenai lake country.
The meeting adjourned until Sat
urday evening to meet at the city
hall in Eaton, in order that there
might be more general atten-
dance, the meeting last night being
called on very short notice.
There is no doubt but that Bon
ner's Ferry can have the grandest
celebration in the state. British
Columbia people may be expected
to honor us with their presence,
and Lake Greek, Libby, Boulder
and other points up the river have
signified their intention of cele-
brating with us. There is no doubt
but that a large excursion will also
come from Spokane.
1t behooves the people of Bon
ner's Ferry to make extensive pre-
parations to accommodate the great
crowd of visitors they will have to
entertain on July 4th.

The Idaho Democrats Hold
Their State Convention.
THEY JOIN THE POPULAR MOVE
The Delegation Sends Uninstructed
Delegates to Chicago and
Favors Free Silver.

The democrats held their state
convention at Pocatelfo last week.
All the counties in the state, save
Owyhee, were represented.
Chairman Ainslie called the
meeting to order at 2 p. M, and
Hon. A. e. Mayhem, of Shoshone
county, was elected temporary
chairman and the convention later
made the temporary organization
permanent.
The usual committees were ap-
pointed.
At the evening session when the
committee on resolutions came to
report it was found that the com
mittee had not been able to agree.
John Haley, of Logan, submitted
a majority report and A. f. Parker,
of Idaho, announced that the
minority would offer a silver amend
ment to the majority report. Sill
yer was the cause Of the diversity
Of opinion.
Just after the reports had been
submitted and before action had
been taken, James II. Hawley an
nounced that Frea tireete, repre-
senting Owyhee county, had ar
rived.
Mr.. Greete was asked to present
his credentials. He handed in a
paper which proved to bea resolution
by the Owyhee democrats to the
effect that the Owyhee delegates
from state and national
democratic conventions which were
notout and out for silver.
Lycurgus Vineyard Of Ada, in
asked if that was the
credentials of the Owyhee county
Mr.. Greete said he had submitted
the wrong paper and then handed
in his credentials.
The platform IN silver as finally
adopted as a compromise is as fol-
fows:
Resolved, That the delegates to
the democratic convention in Chi
cago be instructed to demand of
that body, as a matter of right and |
Justice, the adoption of plank ad-
vocating the free and unlimited |
Of both gold and silver as
full legal tender money at the pres
ent ratio and the full and unquali-
led recognition Of this idea as
cardinal principle Of democracy.
The balance Of the platform fav-
1red just pensions, the election Of
United States senators direct by the
people, conservation of public lands,
5he immediate survey Of public
ands and favored tariff for revenue

astic and thinks the campaign will |

The Great Northern Magnate
Visits the City.
WILL RETURN WITH DILLMAN
Some Surmises as to What Will Be
Done---The Outlook is Bright
for Bonner's Ferry.

LdsG MONDAY afternoon this city
was honored by visit from Presi-
dent j. j. Hill, of the Great North
ern. Hr. Hill was travelling in his
elegant special train, consisting of
a baggage car, dining car and his
private coach.
The distinguished visitor re-
mained in the city not over half
an hour, but during that time was
a very busy man. He took a walk
over the townsite, asked great
many questions and appeared to be
sizing up the situation here. He
was particularly interested in the
question of trade between Bonner's
Ferry and British Columbia.
The reception committee of the
board of trade, with Mr.. Guimaraes
as chairman, did the honors of the
occasion.
Mr.. Hill had very little to say as
to the future intentions of the road
at this place. He stated that the
spur from the yards to the river
dock would be built Immediately.
Mr.. Hill did say, however, that
he would return here in a few days
and make q longer stop. 1t is un-
derstood that when he does return
he will be accompanied by L. G.
Dillman, and that these gentlemen
contemplate some extensive opera
tions here. This fact is evident.
Why should they return here in
company and spend any considera-
bic length Of time at this place un-
less something important was in
contemplation.
We hear from reliable authority
that the townsite company intend
putting in large docks; that they
will arrange for grading the streets
and intend building large hotel.
As to the railroad company, they
will build a spur from their yards
to the dock. The division has not
been located yet so far as the pub
lie is aware, but we have no doubt
but what Bonner's Ferry will be
the place selected. Mr.. Hill has
so stated all along. The company
is now building a round-house and
turn-table near jennings, at the
foot of the grade going over the
divide between here and Kalispell.
This is in favor Of Bonner's Ferry,
as it will enable the road to have
helpers on the long division, and
the distance from here to Spokane,
10S miles, is just the right distance
for another division.
Considering all things, the out
look for Bonner's Ferry is exceed
ingly good. We have the great
mining empire back of us. We
have a great river which makes
this a grand distributing point for
a rich territory. We have other
great advantages and Bonner's
Ferry is bound to become an inn
portant place. Considering its ad-
vantages, real estate in Bonner's
Ferry is selling for a song, and
those who get hold of plenty of it
now will max fortunes.
