Exposed The Fraud.

We find the following dispatch in
the Kansas City Journal of the 4th
inst:
"Ottawa, Kas., Aug. Especial }
William Eikmeier. a German who
lives at Great Bend, created a sehsa-
ton at the spiritualistic camp meeting
at Forest park last night by making
dive for the cabinet, from which the
spirits were supposed to be coming.
Eikmier is a spiritualist and he came
here Yesterday to attend the meeting
of the Kaw Valley Association of
Spiritualists. A seance was given
last night by Mrs. Bartelle, medium
from Colorado Springs, assisted by
Mrs. Bledso, a medium from Topeka
Spirits were materialized while the
medium was supposed to be in a
trance in the rear of the cabinet.
Eikmeier sat up in front and he
thought he detected fraud. When
one "spirit" was in the act of retiring
Eikmeier made a sudden dive for the
curtain and declares he caught the
medium by the ankle. The room was
Immediately in an uproar. Eikmeier
claims that he was set upon by both
the mediums and that Mrs. Bledso's
husband struck him. His clothes
were badly torn and he was consider
ably bruised. Eikmeier was hustled
off the grounds and told to go home.
The spirituaiists claim that he grabbed
Mrs. Bledso, who was outside the
cabinet holding the hands of subjects,
and that he did not expose Mrs. Bar
tell in the act of impersonating q
spirit. They say that Eikmeier is
crazy. Eikmeier says he has expos
ed rank fraud"
Mr.. Eikmeier, who lives south of
the river, was seen on the streets here
the first of the week: He did not
look as though he had suffered any
at the hands of the bogus spirits; and
from what we know of his determined
character we believe he would pretty
near be right in his statement OF the
affair.

Secretary Clark of the Fair Associa-

The baloonist is Prof. John E.
Baldwin, and he has a reputation that
he cannot afford to spoil by funking
on his contract as did the female fraud
who agreed to come last year. so we
may look for some "high flying" dur

sortment of cats, dogs, bombs etc,
that he turns loose in mid air, and SO
far we have not heard of his failing to
do his stunt.

Expresses Opinion on Polit-
ical Situation.

that the Republican party is in
good shape all along the line
and will carry the State next fall
by a largely increased majority.
He makes no question of the re-
nomination and reelection of Presi-
dent Roosevelt. Speaking par
ticularly of the Woollcy matter, he
said that he had not met a Repub-
lican in the State who endorsed the
Boise Statesman's attitude; that it
positively misrepresented Republi-
can sentiment, and that it would
receive no comfort from the Repub-
lican party. He has his own ideas
of the cause which inspired the
Statesman to make such a childish
and unreasonable exhibition of its
chagrine over Mr.. Woolley's ap-
pointment, but did not wish to be
quoted on the subject. He was
free to say, however, that there
was not trace of Mormon church
influence to be found in the Sena-
torial contest; that, as a matter OF
fact, Mr.. Borah received substan-
tiantially the entire Mormon
strength in the legislature. Of the
four or five Southeastern members
who voted for Hepburn, three were
Geutiles. He sal / furthermore tha
there was not anywhere a scintilla
of evidence to prove that the Nor.
mon church had interfered in the
politics of Idaho any more thar
Catholics, Presbyterians, Method
lists or any other denomination, anC
in due time the truth would be forth
coming. He is convinced that the
Mormon church agitation is merely
a trick help the political fortunes o
a few disgruntled politicians anc
adventurous statesmen. He would
not say whether or not there wa!
colIusion between Senator Duboi!
and the Boise Statesman, but die
not deny both the possibility ant
the appearance of it. He said

ary change had come over him.
The envious sneer was gone, and
his countenance shone with benev-
o1ence. He looked out and said:
Upon my word Caldwell is a
pretty, rushing, wideawake town.
You have lots of natural advan-
tages here. I am delighted with
your progress and prosperity.
When l return to Payette, l shall
tell the people there what charm
Jog place Caldwell is; and how gen.
erous, accommodating and public
spirited the people are. l never be-
fore was so deeply impressed with

Of the great and substantial prosper

state He was surprised and pleas
.d with the extensive improve
mepts completed in caldwell since
he was here before and now under
vav. He thinks Caldwell is sure
N become one of the most import
ant towns in the State. He noted
the growth and development OF the
surrounding country, and fully ap-
preciated the splendid resources
which surround the town. He
spoke glowingly of the general ad-
vautages Of the State, saying that it
had been demonstrated that Idaho
Is capable of producing the best
livestock, the best feed, the largest
grain yield and the best fruit in the
world. In answer to questions, he
said that work on the big Twin
Falls irrigation enterprise was pro-
crossing rapidly; that the dam
across Snake river was approach
ing completion and that by next
May canal 80 feet wide at the
bottom, 1870 feet wide at the top,
10 feet deep and IS miles long
would be completed. 1t is hard to
realize the size of a canal like that
until one travels a few miles in il
and gets lost in its depths. The
Bliss enterprise is progressing nice
'ly, and there is no question but
that in the next two years half g
million acres of land will be
brought under water between
American Falls and Caldwell.

tics and showed by his conversation
that he is keeping in close touch
with public sentiment. He sale

bringing the mountain to Moham-
med. 1t will add intellectually to
the health and strength and happi-
uess of the community, and espec-
tally benefit the class most in need.
How many of us, when the July
sun begins to get real cordial, long
for few hours, stretched out upon
the grass, beneath the shade of a
spreading tree by the cool waters!
And how then do we envy those
who HE themselves to the noun
tains while we swelter at home!
Let us have the park and the lake,
and that will all be changed. Then
think of what it means to our
children when the summer vacation
comes! If we must live, let us have
some OF the real, wholesome pleas
ures of life. The fact confronts a
good many of us that if we don't
get them in this life, we are liable
to miss them altogether. Well, then
every man, woman and child can
contribute something towards max
ing the city park and Lake How
ard a physical fact. Wives, you
should urge it upon your husbands.
Children, talk it to your parents.
Do not give them any rest until
they take right hold in earn
est. If everybody will contribute
what he can reasonably afford,
there will be no trouble. We be-
lieve that $500 will be contributed
by 10 men. That will leave only
from $500 to $3.50 to be raised by
all the balance of the community
a mere bagatelle. Let us all get
lively and enthusiastic on the sub
iect, and before we realize the thing
will be done.
