Gone to Washingt0n.

Word was received here today that Sen
ator Henry Heitfeld, wife and family had
left yesterday for Washington, d. c.,
where they will arrange to take up their
residence for the season, and place the
children in school. Mr.. Heitfeld's pres
ence at home and departure for Washing
ton is somewhat Of surprise to his many
friends who believed he was arduously at
work arranging the fusion of the demo-
pops in the south. Mr.. Heitfeld did not
come to Lewiston and nothing in regard
to the proposed fusion which he was ad-
justing has been heard of. 1t is pre-.
suuied that the plans Of the two parties
miscarried and that they are mixed up in
dispute as to who of the electors on the

Almost Serious Results.

This morning at o'clock Mrs. ID. f.
Winn. manager Of the Hotel Gateway,
was awakened from her slumbers by sew
eral sharp screams. She hastily ope ned
her door and Immediately smelled the
odor of burning cloth. Others in the
house heard the noise but paid no atten-
ton to it. Mrs. Winn quickly ran down
the hall in search of the cause of the
smoke and at room g, which was occu-
pied by Mr.. P. w. Mitchell, a mining
engineer, she discovered the door
slightly ajar and smoke pouring out
through the crevices. She immediately
raised an alarm, calling for assistance
and pushing the door in, discovered Mr..
Mitchell in an unconscious condition on
the floor, and the mattress, sheets and
blankets on the bed ablaze. The quick
action of Mrs. Winn probably averted
what might have been serious confla-
grafton by hastily securing FIVE or six
bowls of water and saturating the blaze.
Attention was next directed to the un-
conscious man, his friends having been
aroused they removed him to the parlor
and summoned physicians, who worked
over him for two hours before he finally
regained consciousness. Mr.. Mitchell
stated that he had the incandescent light
hung over his bed and fell asleep read
ing The lamp must have fallen on the
bed and exploded, exposing the live wire
to the infiamable material. He says he
awoke suddenly from the heat which had
blistered his legs and feet and the smoke

The Real Danger.


Several Republican newspapers in
the country which claim that free
trade is q dead issue. because of the
uneSamplcd prosperity. arc probably
not aware of the fact that many sec.
tions of the country, and our colleges
in particular, are being flooded with
free trade literature. especially Of the
kind aiming to show that the protcc.
tive tariff is responsible for the So
called trusts. The worst OF it is that
the free trade piopasandists are rcceiv-
ing aid and comfort from Republican
victims of the foreign markets craze,
who have somehow persuaded them.
selves that certain of our industries no
longer need protection. and that we are
in u position TO make considerable con
cessloils to foreign producers in return
for Il prospective small increase in our
export trade. AS We we'll know from
past experience. the protective system
is eve so muci, endangered as when
its p!Ofcssed friends have come to thinl
hat it's safety is not mcnaced by the
