Judge Parker Is not going to lose

no question that Parker himself is
well thought of by all who have
studied his character and his record,
saws the Boston Advertiser 1t is
just as well to start the campaign
with no misjudgment of the strength
of an opponent. Republicans gen
orally will make no mistake if they
assume that Parker himself is as

would have been-probably stronger

Harney county, the neighborhood
of Huntington and the vicinity OF
Baker City are afflicted with the dis
ease every year. Thus far there
have been almost none of the fatall-
ties shown In the Bitter Root valley.
1t is therefore believed that two dis
tinct forms of the disease exist.
DR.. e. E. Maxey, of Boise, Ida t,
first brought the strange disease 20
the attention of medical science.
Two bscteriologists were sent to
Idaho by the Minnesota state board
of health TO discover the origin OF
the disease.
Gradually it was found that the
disease always occurred in connec-
tion with the bite of a tick whose
habitat was the gopher. This TO
dent is plentiful in Idaho as well as
in nearly every part of eastern Ore
gon. Apparently the gophers SUI
fered no i'll effects from the bite o.
the ticks, for the blood OF healthy
oophers was found to be swarminl
with the spotted fever microbes,

YOUNG TAYLOR
CRAfED FOR BLOOD
Story Of Crime Committed
by Him at Meadows
| Used Knife Freely.

An accurate account of the cutang
affray at Salmon Meadows Was
brought to the city Yesterday by
Charles w. Luck, civil and mining
engineer of Weiser, who has been In
charge of the road survey from War
rem to the Werdenhoff mine, sayS
the Lewiston Tribune. Mr., Lack
passed through the Meadows the day
after the trouble, and states that the
town Was all stirred up. The ag-
eressor in the affair was boy named
Taylor, and his victim is i years of
age Mr.. Luck stayed over night at
the Meadows and learned full par
ticulars of the occurrence.
As told by Mr.. Luck the younger
boy had gone fishing to a nearby
stream in the morning and did not
return until late in the afternoon.
When the boy reached home his face
was badly beaten aud swollen and
mark about his neck told that he
had been strangled Wounds on the
body told of an attack with knife.
When sufficiently recovered the lad
told the following story
He was fishing on the creek whom
the Taylor boy came along and after
talking with him for few minutes
threw him down and tied his hand
kercbief tightly about his neck.
After he had been held in this man
ner for few minutes he WAS thrOwa
/. into the creek. He soon succeeded
in reaching the bank hat the Taylor
! boy again sssailed him, this time
jahbing him with knife. He wss
then again thrown into the creek
This operation was repeated four
times aud the last time the boy was
in such condition that the Taylor
r boy thought him dead and left him
After while the boy regained sutfic-
lent strength to regain the shore aud
succeeded in reaching home.
The Taylor boy was promptly ar
rested and but for his youth might
have received rough treatment at the
hands of the indignant citizens. He
e was examined before the justice oi
t. the peace and held to the distric
Ie court.
n !, The only explanation offered at th'
ia Meadows for the inhuman act 0
is young Taylor is that he IS a degener
re ate craving tor blood. 1t is toll
4. that on one occasion he took iiv
is goose and after plucking all of th
IN feathers, slasbed ut with a knife t

MAN MEETS A HORRIBLE
DEATH IN AN ACCIDENT
Daniel Shippy's Head Struck by
Weight on Elevator and
Neck Broken.

Daniel Shippy. an employee of Ar
mour & Co. at their poultry plant on
East Fourth street in Davenport. met
with a frightful death late yesterday
afternoon.
Mr.. Shippy was engaged at the time
upon the fourth floor and desiring to
speak to a man upon the lower floor.
went to the elevator shaft for this
purpose. He laid himself fiat upon
the floor and with his head extending
over the open space through which
the elevator passes up and down,
called down to the party he wanted
to talk to.
While thus engaged, the elevator
was started from the lower floor and
one of the mammoth iron weights
which helps to propel the huge iron
cage, in its descent struck Mr.. Shippy
upon the head.
His body was not thrown down the
shaft as one would naturally suppose
at first reading but laid upon the floor
in almost the same position in which
he was at the TINT that he called
down the shaft. Only the weight
struck the unfortunate man as the
elevator itself was several floors be-
low. But this weight was sufficient -
cause almost instant death.
The mans neck was broken, his
skull crushed and shoulder dislocated
by the force of the terrific blow which
he received from the weight
