This was done for many years, but the
boom of 1902 placed such q high
valuation on all realty and led to such
lavish public expenditure that taxes
became delinquent and in the course
of time the K. of P. Lodge became it's

Harry Richardson.

Word was received here Tuesday
from Greer that Harry Richardson,
we'll known to the citizens of Nez-
perez, had died there Monday of
smallpox. 1t had been known here
for several days that Mr.. Richard
son was very low, but his friends
still hoped for his recovery and his
death, though not unexpected, was
yet shock to the community. We
print below a short sketch of his
life, obtained from his relatives
here.
Harry Munford Richardson, son
of DIR. Z. e. and Mrs. M. J. Rich
ardson, was born in Burlington,
Kansas, March 3rd, 1870, and was
in his 34th year at the time Of his
death. His early youth was spent
in Kansas. Later in life he re-
moved with his parents to the state
of Washington, where he resided
number of years. On the open
ing of the reservation he removed
with his mother ontoa ranch north
east of Nezperce, and resided there
until he removed to Greer, some
two years ago, where he entered the
drug business, in which occupation
he was engaged at the time of his
death. He was kind husband,
an indulgent father and dutiful
son. He leaves a wife and three
small children, an aged mother,
and three sisters, Mrs. Ross Craw-
ford, Mrs. Ed. Barber and Mrs. Joe
Dolaldson, all living in the vicinity
of Nezperce, to mourn his loss. The
burial took place Tuesday evening
at six o'clock in the Greer Gene
terry. The stricken family have the
sympathy of all in their great sor-
row.-Nezperce Herald.

ways that many things mean many
cares, and that camp life should be as
care-free as possible. For permanent
camp much more may be taken than in
the case of the voyageur, but even then
the outfit should be "he!d down." My
cooking outfit for two consists OF a fry
ing pan with detachable handle, coffee
pot, agate-ware kettle, large spoon, hunt
ing knife and fork. For our table service
we carry three agate-ware plates or dish
es about an inch and half deep, two
large cups of the same material, two
knives. two forks and two spoons. These
are ample for all our needs, and our
menu is always varied one. The plates
are deep enough to hold soup or chow
der and thus serve us in the double cap
acity of plates and bowls The kettle
holds everything else, and in turn fits
into canvas bag. This allows of pack
ing the cooking outfit in the duffle bag
with no danger OF backing up other
things.
The outfit should always include a
small ditty-bag containing thread, pins,
needles, court-plaster, buttons, stout
twine and small pair of scissors. A
flask OF good whiskey should always be
available in emergencies. Remem Der
that in camp doctor is seldom avail
able, and that in case of accident strong
stimulant may be the decisive factor be-
tween life and death. Further, let your
medicine case contain quinine pills to
break colds and ward off malaria, sui
phur-naphthol or some other antiseptic
for wounds and scratches, little things
OF this sort uncared for being often pro-
ductive OF much discomfort and some
times serious consequences. To these
add cholera cure for stomach and bowel
trouble, spirit OF nitre for fever and col
lodion to supplement the court-plaster.
These will cover all normal demands on
the camp doctor.
So much for the outfit. In selecting a
camp site choose, if choice be granted
you, ground that will have slight slope
away from the tent on all sides. Never
pitch in hollow or on fiat ground which
catches the drainage from a water shed,
however small. If your camp is to be
permanent dig trench around your
tent. To obviate the necessity of this in
one-night camps and still insure dry
camp, in wet weather, have had four
inch flap of heavy canvas added to the
bottom of my shelter tent, this folds
under ard lies fiat on the ground inside
the tent. The rubber blankets are then
spread so as to come well over the edges
of the flap, making it impossible for any
water to get inside by running under.
This simple little device has been tested
time and again to my satisfaction and
comfort. The pointer OF my good-natured
mountaineer has also proved its worth
many times. A camp pitched in the
thickest spruce or other evergreens avail
able is fifty per cent warmer, and in wet
weather is dryer, than if located in the
omen COllier's Waaklv

The primary mistake of the novice at

realizes only after many trips. So each

INLOVE
Walter List Attempted Suicide
Sunday Evening.
His Sweetheart is Now with Him and
Wedding May Follow His
Recovery.

Walter List, a young man "a
years of age made an unsuccessful
attempt to take his life Sunday eve
ming at $3.50.
List several months ago was en-
pl Dyed at the Register Office In this
city In the capacity ofpressman, and
during that time boarded with Geo.
Chamberlain, his home being In
Baltimore. In July he went to
Wheeling with the family OF Mr..
Chamberlain on a visit and while
there met Miss Ethel Carpenter of
Raven Rock.
A mutual friendship sprang up
between the young people which
soon ripened into love after he had
called on her a number of times.
Recently he prop ,sed and was &C
copied by Miss Carpenter and then
asked the consent of her parents.
The mother was willing but the
father demurred OH the grounds
that he did not know the young
man we'll enough, but gave him no
definite answer at the time, prom
Using to let him know his decision
shortly.
On Thursday last the young man
came to this city to visit Mr.,
Chamberlain and while here was
shown a letter by friend, which
stated that the fathers answer
would probably be u-fayorable. AS
the manageable age In West Vlr'
ginia Is FL and the girl Is but Is
she would not consent to marry
him until she Is twenty-one, Unless
the consent of her parents. The
Young man has been unfortunate
Ia other affairs of late and this
coupled with the contents of the
letter made him desperate. He
started for the train to return to
Wheeling but missing 1t vent back
to the Chamberlain home Mrs.
Chamberlain roticed that he look
ed pale and asked him If he was
SICK He went 10 his room after
saying tina, he did not feel we'll ard
the family supposed that he went
to bed. AS they sat down 10 the
supper table three shots rang out
aut Mrs Chamberlain went 10 the
foot of the stairs and called 10 him.
he came out of the room and walk
ed to the foot Of the stairs and
there collapsed remaining In state
of Inconsistencies foT two hours.
Dr.. Lambert, who dressed the
wound stated that 1t was not Sc
rious one and that he will recover.
Miss Carpenter was apprised Of
the state of affairs and arrived In
the city yesterday morning to be
with him. The couple will be
married, but whether they will wait
until she Is FL or marry without
the consent of her father should his
answer be unfavorable. they will
not say.-Parkersburg News.
