Was destroyed BY Fire last Friday
evening.
LITTLE ppODERTY Sawed
Funke residence was also Aflame but
Prompt Work saved It.

a Hre Wnlcn started IN some
manner between the ceiling and
roof Of Arthur Woodring's house
about s o'clock last Friday evening
burned that building and an ad-
joining shed to the ground and it
was only by hard work that the
flying embers were kept from set
ting fire to and destroying the
Funke residence. How the FIRE
originated is not exactly known.
Mr.. Woodring was out deer hunt
ing at the time and Mrs. Woodring
was just putting the children to
bed when her brother came in and
she told him to stir up the fire and
she would get him some supper.
A minute later the fire broke
through the roof and ceiling and
Mrs. Woodring ran to neighbours
with the children and gave the
alarm. As coon as the alarm was
given in town nearly everyone
rushed to the fire but by that time
the entire east side of the building
was mass Of flames and it was
only by quick action that guam
tity Of household goods was saved.
In the meantime the breeze was
carrying the burning shingles
through the air to the Funke resi-.
dence on the east and the roof of
that house was ablaze in several
places when help arrived, Wet
sacks and blankets soon whipped
the fire out and the attention Of
the crowd was then turned to pre-.
venting the sparks from starting
other fires and protecting the stable
and bay from catching afre. AS
this stood directly between the two
buildings it was of great impor
tance that it be kept from catching
a6re as nothing could have saved
the other house if it had once be-
gun to burn. The Woodring resi-
dence was soon destroyed and the
woodshed nearby closely followed
it. Nothing could be done to save
these buildings and the crowd
could only stand and watch them
burn. The loss on the buildings
and contents amounted to about
5000 with insurance of 500. Mr..
Woodring at once commenced to
rebuild and already has a small
building up and enclosed in which
he will reside while finishing the
residence. All who witnessed
the fire were very glad it did not
start in the center of town as moth
ing could have saved the entire
town had the blaze started on
Main street.

Spoke to an enthusiastic Audience
Wednesday evening.
DUBOIS DID NOT COME
Missed his Date at Nezperce and had to
lay over and Speak there.

The speaking Wednesday even
ing at the Odd Fellow hall was
we'll attended and in spite of the
disappointment at Senator Dubois
not being able to be present on ac
count OF not arriving at Nezperce
the night before in time to deliver
his address there and having to re.
main there that night the audience
was treated to brilliant address
by Hon. W. H. Stalker which was
thoroughly appreciated.
The stage was nicely decorated
with house plants and Atty! Coutts
and Commissioner Simon with
number OF democratic ladies Of this
Splace and Atty. McDuffie and A. F.
Parker, Of Grangeville, accompa
MED Mr., Stalker to the platform
He was introduced to the audience
by Atty. Coutts and after deliver
ing the regrets of Senator Dubois
on not being able to he present ex
planned that he would attempt to
cover the entire ground but tha,
the principal part of his discours
would be on the Mormon question,
with which he was intimately &C
quainted, having been born and
raised Mormon. Mr.. Stalker
then spoke for nearly two hours
explaining the Mormon situation
in the southern part of the state
and the bearing it is having on the
future of this state. He explained
the laws and rules Of the Mormon
church quoting from their own
book of revelations in proof of his
statements. Mr.. Stalker further
explained that according to- the
Mormon religion every Mormon
was bound body and soul to the
church and that the church could
deliver the solid Mormon vote to
whatever party it pleased. He
also showed where the Mormons
had taken solemn oath to Quit
the practice of polygamy when
Utah applied for statehood and as
soon as that was granted they
openly violated their oath and en-
tered into polygamy the same as
before and no action could be tax
en- against them because they con-
trolled judges, sheriffs and iuries
throughout the state. He also said
that the democrats had list of
over 700 Mormons living in polyg-
amy in southern Idaho today and
the list was by no means complete.
The republicans acknowledge but
19 polygamous families in the state
and claim that they are old cases
and no new ties are being formed.
Mr.. Stalker told the touching
story of his own life and made a
direct appeal to the women and
men of the state to correct this evil
before it became too strong. He
said 1t was not political principle
to be considered but was Moral
principle that could no longer Be
safely>overlooked. He said that
he was republican and had al
ways voted the republican ticket
and would vote for Roosevelt this
fall but when it came to state pol |
itics be would vote straight DEM
ocratic ticket because that party
alone had the temerity to face this

time away he went into the Office OF

HELENA'S BONIV 5LD. Refunded Issue ComlJ ds Lower Rate of Interest I old to a Chicago House ' nd Ma
 ture in 1914.

Helena, May P. Mhe council of the city of Heller at it's last meeting accepted tifS bid of N. W. Harris & Go. of Chicago for the purchase of the 'Sl55, ,Ooo is- sue of refunding bonds. Mayor Sliger and every member of the council was in attendance and Harris & Co. were represented by w. P. Chapman of Chicago.
 All terms regarding the sale of the bonds were agreed upon and the transfer will be made about July 1. The bonds which will be retired by the present is- sue are those floated in the year 1884, and known as the railroad compromise bonds.
 F These bonds amount to S1OO.- 900, the largest holder being the Municipal Trust Company of New York, whose share amounts to $40,00 The other bonds, all of which are payable at the Na- tional Park Bank in New York. and are held in small quantities by different parties.
 The difference of $5,OOO be- tween the amount of the present indebtedness and the new bond issue will be made up out of money accumulated in the city treasury, thus saving interest to the city.
 Another big saving of interest will be caused by the rate of in- terest, the new bonds drawing but 5 per cent, whereas the old drew 6. The fact that the new bonds are serial in form will per- init the retiring of several thou sand dollars before the maturing of the greater portion in 1924.
