Against the Politicians and for
the Peoples Champions.
TIME FOR ACTION
The following is a sample OF many
letters received by the HERALD
since our last issue. An uprising
of the voters of Kootenai County.

RATHDRUM, Idaho, Sept. g. Ed
itor KOoTENAI HERALD Dear Sir:
In your issue of Sept. 5th, l notice
the following: "The HERALD he
lieves that nonpartisan clubs should
be organized all over the county, to
promote the interest of Bryan and
Dubois" This we Silver men
heartily endorse, and, second, that
"the people should hold themselves
in readiness to form new party
and hold convention Unnecessary"
Now we think it highly necessary
and that action should be taken at
once, and an entire ticket should
be put in the field at once. We
should segregate the honest and up
right men that have already been
nominated from the traitors whose
names are found on the tickets with
them; for it is an old and true say
ing that bad company is contamin-
ating, hence it is an injustice to the
upright men to be before the peo-
pie for their suffrage with those
who have shown the cloven hand
to such an extent az TO disgust all
honest voters.
Now, you are not alone in this
proposition for | have advocated
this move for sometime and have
not met with any disapproval, so
think that the people are fully ready
to show political tricksters that
the time has come when the people
will bow no longer to the venomous
politician in humble submission
and do their bidding. Hence
favor this move so as to let the PEG
! pie have a just chance to expires
their will.
: Respectfully yours,
A RATHDRUM CITIZEN

favor of giving the ladies the right
to vote.

A FOUL DEED.
A Fiendish Attempt is Made to Posion
Mike McCuen.

On Thursday of this week, Mike
McCuen, rancher living about
three miles abovet town, was brought
in suffering from the effect of poison.
He had been found laying by the
roadside by Miss Katie Fitzpatrick
who was passing by. The victim
was frothing at the mouth and in
the spasms peculiar to the effects of
strychnine poison, but was con-
scious enough to tell her what was
the matter and to go for the doctor,
which she did. DIR. Bishop, VIII
Green and Others FASTENED to the
mans assistance. Mr.. Green reach
ing him first. Dr.. Bishop was soon
on hand and antidotes were admin
istered. McCuen was brought to
town and has recovered.
His account of.the affair is that
after breakfast Thursday morning
he vent out to picket out his hors-
es. While on the way a sickness
came on peculiar to poisoning, hut
he thought nothing of it, and pro-
ceeded on his errand. Before he
got back to his cabin he was seized
with spasms and fell by the road
side. Here he lay from early il
the morning until about 2 O'Clock
in the afternoon, when assistance
came. The man suffered untolC
misery. He must have had ligh
dose, of course, or he coulo never
have survived. /.
That the poisoning was the re
suit of a co wards fiendish attemp
to make way with McCuen, ther
can be no doubt. Suspicion point
to the would be murderer, but n,
positive proof is yet at hand, thougl
"murder will out" probably in thi
case as in all others.
1t is supposed that the pOiso
was put into McCuen's provision
while he was away from home.
The affair brings into prominenc
an incident which ACQUIRED at No
Cuen's ranch on Tuesday, in whic
not only McCuen, but VIII Gree
of this place, and Charlie Fuller {
Leonia, had narrow escape. I'll
two latter took dinner with McCuel
being friends of his. Some col
beef that was on the table wa
thrown out to feed Mr.. Green's tw
bird dogs. Within a half hour tn
q dogs died from the effects of poisol
1t had probably been put in tt
meat for McCuen.
Every effort should be made
ferret out this dastardly deed.

= Letter from Mr.. Mckee Which JustIGes
This stntement.

This Statement.
Il is very probable that Wheeling viii
not be included i'm the Interstate cir
cult, ii indeed that base ball venture is
ro, abandoned. The effect of Wheel
ing's failure can hardly be other than
the disruption Of the league.
This statement is made on the au-
thor.Jy Of Mr.. Mckee himself. In a let
ter written by him to a friend in this
city, ne does not say i'm so many words
that he has abandoned mis- efforts to
secure grounds i'm Wheeling, but thai
is q reasonable construction of his Ian
guage. and taken in connection with his
silence during the past few days. is
conclusive proof that if ne has not sur
rendered the Wheeling franchise, he
O least regards the situation as very
discoure ging. The ground question
was TO be settled this week. The stu
alton makes this imperative. Mr.. Nc
Kee has not talked OF coming down
again and it is likely THAI he has
dropped the matter.
