A srEPMoTHER ARRESTED.
Accused OF Numbering her Husbands
Child.

BrRMlNGHAM, ALA.-Mrs. Laura
Howe. n comely young woman Of %
wears. wife of II. NJ. Howe, a we'll
known electrician, and Ellen Moore,
her negro servant girl, we're placed IN
the city iail Saturday afternoon. Mrs.
Howe was arrested just as she was leav-
ING Oakhill cemetery where she and
the family's friends had attended the
funeral of her three year old step-son,
who died suddenly. Howe reported
to Coroner Duzenberry, the death OF
his son, and at the same time stated that
the circumstances attending his death
were very mysterious. Hesaid that the
boy had been sick for some time and
Friday he was sent for and told that
the child had fallen from the porch
and died. An examination of the body
revealed ugly bruises on his back.
The servant girl who with Mrs. Howe
is held on suspicion pending the coro-
ner's investigation, says that Mrs.
Howe beat the child numerically with
n stick, iabbing the stick down his
throat and then choking him until
death resulted, after which she made a
vain effort to restore him to life by use
of hot water baths and camphor. Mrs.
Howe tells conflicting stories and
seems greatly distressed over her ar
rest Howe says he wants thorough
investigation of the matter, let the out
come be what it may.

Thus passed the honored day in

was not big success financially, it
was well demonstrated that patriot

FOR A SILVER CONFERENCE.
Call Issued For Convention at
Washington in August.

THE issuing OF that call for 3 silver
or convention to meet 10
Washington IN August, by Senators
Harris and Jones, uf Arkansas, and
Turpie. all democrats, indicates that
the et-backs which the silver demo-
Gratis have received ia Ohio and Ken
lucky have not caused them to think
OF abandoning the fight. Just what
is expected to be accomplished BY this
conference has not been made public
and probably will not be prior to the
conference; but there are grounds for
the statement that one Of its pur-
poses will. be to ascertain definitely
what probability there Is Of making q
successful combination Of the south
and west IN behalf Of OF silver. While
many democrats continue to talk Of
the probabilityof that party declaring
for silver at its next national conven-
tion, the general impression is that
the administration will be able to du-
plicate It's success In Kentucky In a
sufficient number of southern states
to give it control Of the national con-
ventiOn. 1t is daily becoming more
certain that the republican national
convention will neither declare for sill
yer nor nominate silver man for
president, although may nominate q
silver man for vice president. Ac-
cording to those who are deeply study
ing the situation, the whole thing
will turn upon whether the silver
democrats and republicans can be
kept In their respective parties. II
they can be, then silver will not cut
a figure In the presidential campaign.
But, II the silver men should all
leave the democratic and repu blican
parties, as many believe they will,
and act with the populists in sup
porting a silver man for president,
silver would be very much in the cam
paign. The leaders OF the old par
ties recognize this, and are doing all
they know how to do to prevent the
desertion of their silver members.
much depends upon their success or
failure.

THE FOURTH In RATHDRUM.
The Game Of Base Ball Grand Ball
in the Evening.

anniversary of the signing of the
Declaration OF Independence has once !
more come and gone. In Rathdrum
great preparations had been made to
appropriately celebrate this glorious |
national holiday. Picnic grounds |
were fixed up. in a beautiful grove
east of town, where large pavilion |
for dancing had been constructed, and |
. flrsL-class orchestra was engaged to |
discourse fine music. Everything |
was well arranged fora good time |
and an interesting celebration. Peo-
pie from neighboring towns and sur
rounding country began to arrive at
about 10 O'Clock A. NJ, and by one
O'Clock, P. NJ, the time for commenc-
ing on the interesting program that
had been prepared for the occasion,
there was large crowd present, not
withstanding the threatening ele-
ments.
The first pastime on the program
was game Of base ball between the
married and single men Of Rathdrum.
A large crowd had gathered to see the
game and much interest was mani
tested in the result. Two innings
were played, when a RAIN storm sud-
denly stopped the game, much to the
dlspleasure of the lookerson. From
that time on the celebration was
complete failure, as the showers kept
up at short Intervals during the whole
afternoon, which put damper on all
. further proceedings, dancing, racing,
etc.
While 1t lasted, the ball game was
very exciting, and when it stopped on
account Of the storm, things were at
fever: heat. The married men had
the best of it by great odds, the score
being to Q in favor of the benedicts,
The single men say they did not play
: their best, and hope for an0pportunity
for a game some time in the future
when they will make the old fellows
think they are not in 1t. But II you
wish to do that boys, you will need
some practice, or the married men
will wipe up the earth with you.
After it set in raining everybody
returned to town, and the upshot In
the dGwnponr was that they all made
up their minds to have good time at
the ball In the evenings and they sue
ceeded with a vengeance, for it must
be placed on record as the most en-
joyable hop of the season. There was
large crowd present, notwithstand-
ing it rained incessantly from four to
eight O'Clock P. M. The crowd was
really too large for the hall, but
nevertheless everybody reported a very
nice time. The music was excellent
and the Post Falls orchestra who
furnished it Is to be commended.
The evening was cool and delightful
and everybody seemed in the best of
spirits, and the ball was big success
socially, and very fair financially.
Everyone seemed to enjoy to the full
est the music and dancing. One

CROPS ARE NOW DOUBLY INSURED.
Soaking Rains Put Unlimited Confidence

Soaking Rains Put Unlimited Confidence
in Splendid Yield.
OAKEsDALE, July 5.-The steady,
soaking rain of IL hours duration has
assured to the Palouse country an
abundant yield of all kinds of grain.
The rain began in showers about P.
NJ, yesterday, and after dark settled
down to business, and fell steadily till
morning. All danger from hot winds
IS now past, and big crop is assured.
Farmers and merchants are in better
spirits this morning than at any time
this season.
The Spokesman Review correspond
ent drove to Steptoe Butte yesterday,
and was surprised to see the fine
fields Of grain in that vicinity. Grain
never looked better in that mel ghbor-
hood than at present, and fields were
seen that will yield 35, so and 70
bushels per acre for wheat, barley and
oats, respectively. The fruit crop
there is also the best ever grown.
Plum trees are literally breaking
down with their loads of fruit. At
the orchard OF Robert Burns, Mr..
Burns and his man were found busily
engaged IN propping up the limbs
Of his plum trees, and in many
instances small limbs had to be cut
of, so great was the load of fruit.
Mr.. Burns expects ten tons of plums
from a small orchard. This, at one
cent per pound, the lowest price ever
paid here for plums, will give HIM
5000 from small orchard Of young
trees. Mr.. Burns also raises peaches,
his farm being high up on the north
side Of Steptoe Butte, where frost
never Injuries fruit. His peach trees
are loaded with fruit, as are also his
apricot, pear and apple trees. In ad-
.dition to fruit he has t1ne crop OF
corn, watermelons, sQuashes and all
kinds of vegetables.
The farmers in this portion OF
Whitman county are in better cOndi-
tion financially than for many years
past, and now that their grain croI
is assured and good price is ex.
pected, they begin to feel encouraged.
Nothing short OF q pestilence car

Posi- FALLS, July 5.-W. ]. Butter
field was visitor at Spokane Satur- |
day.
The social hop of last Thursday |
evening, given at this place by the
Ladies Relief Corps, proved quite sue
cessful, and everyone reported having
very nice time. Although the la
dies were disappointed in receiving
the strawberries they had ordered for
the occasion, a very dainty luncheon
was served at the midnight hour.
Ten new members were initiated
into the Relief Corps Tuesday after
noon. After the initiatlan ceremo-
nies were ended, and kind words of
welcome were extended to the new
members, banquet was given in
their honor, which was duly appre-
ciated by everyone present.
The Fourth in Post Falls passed
very quietly, as there were no prepa-
rations OF any kind made for a cele-
bration, and the most patriotic citi-
zens sought other places for celebrat-
ing. Some went to COeur d'Alene
City, some to Rathdlum and others
to Galbraith's Spur.
Mr.. Waterman, who has been en-.
ployed in the grist mill of L. S. Dart
the past year, left Saturday evening
for Oregon, where he expected to spend
the Fourth with friends.

duced prices, and solicits share of the

accounted for the rather snail number of

FEDERAL OFFICE HOLDERS
No Punishment Likely to Follow Their
Recent Activity in Political Affairs
Mr.. Cleveland Said to Have Changed
His Views asi to Partisanship and
His Original Order.

There has been some speculation, more or
less serious, as to what President Cleve-
land may do in the cases of federal office
holders who have been active in primaries
and conventions, in view of his old order
prohibiting such activity. At the time his
order against offensive partisanship was
issued participation in primaries and con-
ventions to control party nominations was
regarded by Mr.. Cleveland as sufficient
ground for the removal Of federal office
holder. The fearless activity of this class
recently has up to this time remained un-
accounted for, as under this famous order
they would be subject to dismissal.
Has Changed His Views.
This temerity and activity is explained
by the statement that Mr.. Cleveland has
entirely changed his views on the subject
and that the order is intended to become
dead letter. 1t is stated that Mr.. Cleve-
land has become convinced that his orig
inaf theory on the subject of offensive par
tisanship is utterly impractical He recog-
nizes that under 1t he would have either to
decline to appoint his friends to office or
else, appointing them, lose their services
to the party.
He has decided that he does not want to
do either the one thing or the ether, and
therefore, the order is to be disregarded
in the future, jas it has been of late. 1t
is said that Mr.. Cleveland has for some
time been convinced that he could not
afford to have his friends put in the list of
non-combatants by becoming beneficiaries
of his official bounty.
Allowed to Fall Into Disuse.
A formal revocation of the order of July
IA, 1886, would surely have excited much
comment and involved explanations. 1t
was therefore merely allowed to fall into
disuse. 1t is said that Office holders are
relieved from all obligation to consider the
order, and that they are In no danger of
being called to book for taking part in
party conventions, primaries or campaigns.
