To the little cotorie of democrats
who believe more in personal spite
and desire to rule or ruin than In
party advancement and success
who are giving aid to the opposition
democrat paper we say this: We
accept your declaration of war
and now unfurl the flag of no quar-
ter. The light will be turned upon
some of you later on.

crat plant will be doomed to disap-
pointment. The money so con-
tributed or loaned is to be used to
run newspaper in opposition to
the Idaho Democrat; small por-
ton of the state committee believ-
ing it would cost less to knock out
than to buy out after having at
first agreed to do the latter early
in the spring. Mr.. Spaulding, a
promising young republican, for
merly of the Idaho Statesman and
the Salt Lake Tribune, is now solic-
iting advertising and subscriptions
for the opposition democratic pa
per, and says the first number will
be issued about the first of Au-
gust. We do not believe that true
democrats will encourage an at
tempt to establish another demo-
cratic paper in community where
one can barely exist. We do not
believe that the business men gen.
orally while not feeling able these
depressed times to support two
democratic papers will withdraw
their advertising patronage from
these columns and bestow it upon
another that is starting in opposi-
ton in field already overcrowded.

friends of the Idaho Democrat will

THE NATIONS STRONG BOX.
Idaho Ensitled to This Name Above all Other
States.

| Philadelphia Press,
Idaho has been named the strong
box of the nation, and she proba-
bly, deserves the title. The dis
covery and production of her mines
of gold, silver, lead, copper and
iron have excited far less attention
than similar discoveries in Califor-
MIA and Nevada did; but it is prob
ably within the truth to say that
they are more valuable than the
far-famed mines of the two older
states. There are veins of silver
within the borders of Idaho which
promise to surpass the fabulous
wealth of the Comstock mines.
The mineral REGAIN stretches from
the Snake river, which winds
through the southern parts of the
state and at one point comes with
in thirty-five miles of the Nevada
boundary, to the northern limits
of the state. This belt varies from
20 to 200 miles wide, and is dotted
at irregular intervals with mines
which have produced richly of the
precious metals, but which have
been little more than scraped as
yet.
The hardness with which Idaho's
mines have been opened and
worked is surprised when it is
known that the first discovery of
gold within its borders was made
in 1860. Miners and prospectors
crowded in to search for the prec-
ious metals along the Snake and
Salmon rivers, and in less than
three years $2O,OOO,OOO were taken
from the bed of these rivers and
their tributaries. It was in 1866
that a 15-ton lot of ore was sent
from the Owyhee mines to Newark,
N. j., as a specimen, and it yielded
at the rate of $1,000 to the ton.
Since then the yield of the mines
has gone on steaily increasing, and
it is estimated that up to the pres
ent time Idaho's mines have pro-
duced $175,O0O,OO0. In 1890 the
total yield was $13,S24,5O0, di.
vided as follows: Gold, SO, 595, 1888;
silver, IS, 594, 167; lead, $4,51O,OOO;
copper, $124,0OO.

WOULD LOOK 50 NICE DEAD
/ Buffalo Child'S Excuse for Poisoning
Her PlaymateS.
Little Ella HOldridge Confessed to Civ
ing Them Rat Poison. "Her Funeral
Was Awful Nice"

Father Bakers institution at Lime
stone Hill there is a girl of fourteen
years, Ella Holdridge, whose NOR
bid passion for seeing death and
funerals has led her to kill one of
her playmates and cause the
serious illness of three others by
poison.
Tonawanda is ten miles from
Buffalo, but it might just as we'll
be at the bottom of Lake Erie so
far as the publicity of news is con-
cerned, and thus it is that Elias
crime did not become known for
more than a week.
Her plan was to administer rat
poison, which she made as agree
able to take as possible by mixing
il with cocoa. When the children
refused to take it willingly she
threw them on their backs and
forced it down their Threats, leav-
ing them to die if they would, but
watching them suffering from a
distance and gloating over it.
AS far as can be learned this
child Borgia's work began in earn
est July 7. On that day Ella had
been playing with Louisa, the
seven-year-old daughter of Her.
man Stermer. Shortly after she
left Louisa was taken violently ill.
The weather was hot, just the kind
in which children's complaints
flourish, and the physician called
prescribed for summer complaint.
None of his remedies eased her
Sufferings, and after two days of
intense agony the little girl died.
She was buried on the 18th, and
one of the conspicuous figures at
tse Stermer home during the days
intervening between death and the
funeral and at the open graveside
uss little Ella Hildridge, solemn
ard quiet, but her eyes flashed
with excitement, her cheeks burn
ing and her face full of mystery.
The doctor had given a certif-
cate of death from summer COM
plant and no thought of murder or
poison entered the mind of any one
until last Wednesday, when Mrs.
kggleston came to Buffalo on q
shopping expedition, leaving her
two young daughters at home. She
had been gone only a few minutes
when the Holdridge girl went to
the house. The children were
playing around the doorstep.
Ella took them inside and told
them she would make them some
thing nice, She locked the door
and made a pot of cocoa, into
which she threw a geneous hand.
fui Of rat poison.
One of the children didn't like
tie taste. She was pushed onto
sofs. The liquid was poured
down her throat. Then Ella told
them both they would be all right
soon, directed them not to tell any
one.
That night both children were
taken violently i'll and DR.. Ed
nunds was called. He at once
suspected poison. Questioning the
little patients closely he learned |
enough to put him on the track of
the child poisoner.
While he was working over the
Eggleston children it was discov-
cred that the five-year-old son of
Mr.. Garlock had been poisoned.
A panic seized the neighborhood.
Every child was catechised to learn
if IL had eaten or drank anything
gwen them by Ella Holdridge.

EdmOnds had compared notes and
Justice of the Peace Rogers and
Coroner Hardlebcn were notified
and began an investigation.
The Holdridge child was sent
for and questioned. At first she
denied giving any of the children
anything to eat or drink, but when
told she had been seen making the
cocoa and that it was known that
she had poisoned them, she very
naively and with wide-open eyes
said:
"Dear me, is that SOP"
Then she made full confession.
She told how she had made the
cocoa with the poison in it and
how she had forced it down the
Threats of the little Eggleston child
rem because she wanted to 60 to a
funeral, and thought they would
look so nice dead.
When the death of little Louisa
Stermer was brought up she frankly
said:
eyes, she's dead. Poor Louisa!
But she looked awful pretty and her
funeral was awful nice.
Ella had given her the poison in
drink of water, she said. She told
her tale in the most matter-of-fact
way, without seeming to realize the
enormity of her act.
It has been learned that after
after she had given the poison to
the little Stermer girl, Ella went
home, and her mother, noticing
that she seemed to be laboring
under suppressed excitement, asked
her what the trouble was.
81 don't know" she replied, "but
l guess little Louisa is goin' to die,
cause she's pretty sick. The doc
tor is there
From then until the child died
Ella made frequent trips to the
Stermer house, tiptoed her way to
the window and peeked in. Every
time she ran back to her mother
and cried almost joyously:
II guess she's most dead now"
Finally little Louisa died. The
first intimation Mrs. Holdridge
had Of it was when Ella ran into
the house clapping her hands and
dancing up and down, saying glee-
fully:
81 guess she's dead now, cause
they're all in there crying and
there's a man there with a box.
She's dead-she's dead; know it,"
And she danced off out into the
street.
Mrs. Holdridge is almost pros
trated with grief.
II questioned Ella" said she,
''but all l could get from her is
that she that they would look nice
dead and she wanted to 60 to their
funerals.
"She seemed always to have
perfect mania for deaths and funer-
ais. Every time any one died she
learned of it in some way and
would dance up and down with joy,
clapping her hands and saying:
He's dead! he's dead
"Then if she could, she would
slip away and 60 to the cemetery
10 the funeral. Several times when
she has returned home after an
absence, and questioned her she
would tell me enough to lead me
% believe she had been following a
funeral.
