Husband and Wife Meet Tragic Fad.

The sad drowning accident of form
er Smyrnian and his wife occurred on
League Island Park Lake near Phila.
delphia, Wednesday evening Fred
erick Short son of the late William
T. Short of this vicinity was skating
with his wife Florence, and mistaking
the shining black waters for a con
tinuation of the CLASSY ice, they sud
denly disappeared and drowned before
aid could reach them. The moon had
gone under cloud for the the time
and it was in the dim light that they
made their fatal mistake. There were
thousands of pleasure seekers on the
lake who were powerless, to rescue
the unfortunate couple. Mrs. Short
went down and under the ice and
never appeared again; Mr.. Short ap-
peared a second time and screamed for
help, but the crowd of Onlookers were
pOwerless to help. Even the most
venturesome knew that to Jump in after
them would mean a watery grave. The
bodies were recovered later by police
sergeants with the aid of boat hooks
which they dragged to the place.
Funeral of Frederic Short at Smyrna.
Frederic Short was a steamfitter and
lived with his wife at 1245 Jackson
street, Philadelphia. Atwenty months
DIV baby survive them. The husband
being protestant and the wife catho-
lie, there were separate funerals.
Mrs. Short will be buried with all the
rites of her church at Holy Cross
Cemetery Philadelphia, and Mr.. Short
was brought to Smyrna for inter
ment, on the noon train Monday
after short services at the residence of
his mother 2232 South Seventeenth
street in Philadelphia. Mr.. Short was
80 years of age and his wife 26.

The Rathdrum tribune. (Rathdrum, Idaho) 1903-1963, 1903-12-11

THE C9ur dAlene Press
is of the opinion that, while
the action of President
Roosevelt in condemning the
stupendous frauds in the post
office department and his de-
termination to punish the Of
tenders, high and low, is
'commendable', the only meth
cd of cleaning the rascals out
is by placing another party in
power. We beg to ask what
assurance there is that when
another party turns the ras-
Gals out it would not turn
other rascals in? The rascals
are not all in the republican
party, There are rascals in
all parties; the essence of ras-
cality permeates the whole So
cial fabric and the number of
rascals is limited only by the
number of persons who, in
responsible positions, can not
withstand temptation. Presi-
dent Roosevelt will not toler-
ate fraud where hehnds it out.
Regardless of party ties, in
fiuence and power he has been
a terror to evil doors through
out his administration. In
flexible integrity is the only
lasting passport to his favor.
We might not have the pleas
ure to say the same of anoth-
er. Not every president has
the flrmness to uncover fraud
in his own administration.
But we have one now. Let
us keep him by all-means; we
need him a few years more.

UNLESS the gentlemen OF

UNLESS the gentlemen OF
the board Of village trustees
take immediate and decisive
action, Rathdrum will again
be without a night marshall.
The present marshall has an
nounced his intention of quit
ting the service before Sun
day, owing to his inability to
collect a considerable portion
of the sixty dollars subscribed
for his monthly salary. A
number of the subscribers OBJ
ject, since paying a special
tax part of which, at least,
they believed was to provide
for the maintenance of a mar
shall. The special tax plan
is the only logical and equita-
Bile manner of defraying ex-
pences of a public nature. I'm
der the tax plan every proper
ty owner within the corporate
limits pays a proportionate
share, whereas, under the sub
scription plan the burden is
borne by the few at the bene-
fit of the many. The sub
scription plan has been tried
in Rathdrum twice within the
past year and is more unsatis-
factory now than ever. This
town should not be without a
marshall, if experience teaches
anything. Furthermore the
dignity Of the town as the
county seat demands that it
maintain a marshall. If the
condition Of the treasury does
not warrant the expense, it
should be made to warrant it.
The board has proven itself
devoted to the towns interests
and will no doubt exercise
its usual clear judgment.

LOCAL EVENTS.

Remember the entertainment
by the DeMoss family in Frater-
nal Hall at 1870 p m Dec. Is.
The Rathbone Sisters Fair
and supper last night were we'll
attended and literally patroniz-
ed. The supper was a sumptu-
Gus banquet. The fish pond was
exhausted at an early hour, but
the fair did not close until 10 o.
clock.
Your attention is called to the
advertisement OF the sale of state
lands which appear elsewhere in
this paper. This is an opportu-
nifty to buy state land which
should not be overlooked.
Our attention has been called
to the fact that IA street light is
needed to light the way across
the railroad to Fraternal Hall
these long. dark evenings. 1t
would not be a bad idea for the
town board to use one Of the old
lamps for the purpose.
Rev. Il. A. Walker has succeed

teen lessons and a book cost but

singing by note.

pay taxes, the railroads annu-
ally come in for a large share
of roasting from the people.
Whether this criticism is de-
served or not, depends upon
the facts in the case, known
or unknown, or merely sur
missed. 1t appears from the
facts and figures shown, that
the taxpayers of Idaho should
think twice before saying that
the railroads are not bearing
anything like a just share OF
the burdens Of government.
Down in Nez Perez county,
Jay Sedgwick, the tax agent
of the Northern Pacific, has
just handed a check for $40, :
o2S. SO to County Assessor
Clifford, that sum represent
ing the taxes Of the company
in that county. The Lewis
ton Tribune in mentioning
the fact says:
Mr.. Sedgwick is now pay.
ing the company taxes in the
state and when questioned as
to whether all the taxes had
been paid at this time, said
mo; we have not yet paid
the tax imposed in Kootenai
county. The officials in this
county saw fit to fix the gen
eral, school, road and bridge
levy at the full limit allowed
under the law, and in addition
to this also levied full limit
special school tax and an s.
mill special road tax. The
company has appealed to the
courts on the ground that the
tax is exorbitant, unfair and
unnecessary" *** The North
ern Pacific and Great North
ern railroads have each about
IS miles of main llnein koote-
mai county. The O. r. & N.
also has trackage in the coun-
ty, and the revenues received
from the railroad taxes are
very large. 1--WE find no fault
with the levy made in Nez
Perez county said Mr.. Sedg-
wick, because it is fair"
In kootenai county, accord
ing to figures obtained at the
court house, the total amount
of taxes to be received from
all sources is about sI35, 900.
Of this the railroads pay SOL
1894, as follows: o. r. &
NJ, $40, 464.o3; Great North
ern, s23, o2o. IS, and North
ern Pacific, s57.62s.76. The
N. ?. pays 50, 6o7 special tax,
$40, 637.88 road tax and s25, :
