BELLS ENTERPRISE
Is BeinQ Felt i'm a Number of West
ern Communities.

Seymour H, Bell of the Mount
ain Home Electric Co. arrived
here last week in time to attend
the special meeting of the Village
Trustees, which was called to dis
CUES and take action upon the
matter of installing four addi-
tional arc street lights. In addi-
tion to Mr.. Bell, Manager T. e..
Preston, of the local plant, was
also present.
The matter being satisfactorily
adjusted, orders were given to
erect the poles as soon as possible.
The next day the company's men
"got busy"
With the new lights, the town
now has a total of eleven arcs,
which is a convenience greatly ap-
preciated by the public. 1t was
decided to place one of the addi-
tional lights at the corner OF Al
turas and Atlanta (Smith's phar
Macy, one by the Congregational
church, one at the County Court
house block (north-w west corner),
and one west of the railroad track.
Mr.. Bell is an energetic and
level headed young business man,
who is rapidly settling into place
as one of the financial headlights
of Idaho. His business judgment
is good, and he has the ability to
carry out his ideas and plans to a
successful issue. AS result a
number of western towns have felt

ICE LIFTING THE PILES.
Action of Tide And Ice Cause
Much Damage to East
port Bridge

Piers and piling about the barbor
have been badly disturbed as result
of the heavy freezes of the winter.
1t is feared that considerable damage
has been done in some quarters and ii
is aIknown fact that the Eastport bridge
has been damaged very seriously.
The piling in the bridge has been
lifted bodily and in many places is a
loot higher than it should be. The
heavy ice which clung about the piles
was lifted by the rising tide. The
strength of the water and the firm
grip of the ice was stronger than the
pressure of the surrounding earth on
the lower part of the plies. As a re-
suit the piles were lifted bodily and
whennthe tide receded the weight OF
the ice was not sufficient to sink the
piles to the point they had been orig
inally driven.
This has left them in very unsafe
condition and steps will have to be
taken at once to strengthen the bridge
before the run of ice starts down the
creek. There is a considerable amount
of ice piled in the upper part of the
creek and when this starts down it is
feared it will bank up around the
bridge until the pressure becomes dan
gerous. Piles driven in the harbor and
creek to act as buoys for boats have
been almost entirely drawn out OF
their bed and another heavy freeze
will set them adrift.

Death of Former Resident

Mrs. Annie J. Watkins, former resi-
dent of Annapolis, died on Saturday
last at Philadelphia, at a hospital in
that city, where she had been patient
for several months. The deceased was
the widow of George Watkins and was
in her seventy second year. She is
survived by one son, Mr.. q. johnson
Watkins, of Camden, N. J. Mrs.
Watkins has been in bad health for the
past six months and her death was not
unexpected. She was a resident of
Annapolis practically all her life un-
til about three years ago when she re-
moved to Philadelphia to be near her
son. She was one of the most success
full teachers of private schools in An
napolis and taught here very success
fully for number of years both be-
fore her marriage and after her widow
hood. The remains will be brought
here tomorrow for interment and the
services will be conducted at the
grave by the Rev. Joseph p. McComas.

RETURN OF THE FLAGS
Plans Now On Foot TO Care
For Them In State
Building.

With the legislation which has been
completed in Washington with refer.
ence TO the return of captured battle
flags to the states from which tlIey
had their source. Maryland is given a
new and fresh impetus in ils efforts
to establish and maintain a museum
of relics.
Ii will add considerable to the col
lection of flags, letters, munitions OF
war and many other articles which
are so indissolubly associated with the
history of the state. There are but
three flags mentioned in the long list
of flags to be returned TO the various
states which will be given TO Mary
land, but these represent but the prin-
ciple ones which are held by the Fed
eral government. Many others will
be brought to light when the distribu.
tion is begun.
Provision has been made for the care
of the flags already in possession of
the state, Those which willsbe received
from the Federal government and still
others from patriotic societies. In
chapter 4S5 of the laws of 1900 is re-
corded the appointment made by the
Governor to prepare q place in the
capital building for the care and col
lection of all battle flags which figured
in the history of the state. This com
mission is now at work preparing
plans whereby it will be possible co
convert the old house room into mu-
scum, where all of the relics of the
states history may be properly dis
played
The commission is composed of
George W. Johnosn. James r. Wheeler
and John X. King, of Baltimore city,
and Spencer @. Jones. of Montgomery
county. Many flags have already been
secured by the commission and they
have been negotiating for some time
to secure the flags which are retained
at the Confederate Soldiers Home in
Pikesville. The old confederates are
very desirious of vetaining the flags,
but it is thought that through General
Andrew Gross Trippe. commander of
the State Confederates' Association, it
will be possible to secure them when
the museum is properly arranged.
Much depends now upon the compile
tiou of the annex to the state build
ing, as nothing can be done toward
fitting up the museum until such a
time as there is a positive assurance
that the old room will not have to be
used again for session of the legisla-
ture. All of the flags when returned
will be under the direct control and
supervision of Adjutant. General
Riggs.

Frank Bealer, of Laurel, formerly of
this city, died this morning at
80 o'clock at the Maryland Univer-
sity Hospital. Baltimore. Death was
due to an accident, which occurred
over month ago
Mrs Bealer ON the evening of Jan
uary 2S was standing in front of her
kitchen stove reading copy of the
Evening Capital. which had just been
received. Mrs. Bealer had her back
to the stove aud her dress, in some mn.
accountable way. caught fire and in
an instant the unfortunate woman was
enyeloped in flames.
Her two little children were in the
room, to the elder OF whom she threw
the paper asking the child TO take care
of her home paper for her, while
the mother human torch. ran into
the street Her screams attracted two
men. who wrapped their overcoat
about her and extinguished the flames.
but not until the agonized victim was
horribly burned. Medical aid was
summoned and everything possible
was done for Mrs. Bealer. The flesh
ON her back in some places was burn.
ed to the bone, and in several places
the burn was two inches deep. She
bore her sufferings heroically and
when her husband. who is telegraph

greeted him with a smile through all
her suffering.

It's First and Last

The Columbia Comic Opera Com
pany made its first and last appearance
at the Colonial Theatre Saturday af-
ternoon, the usual matinee force being
out, and sad to relate failed to see
the class of performance which it is
the custom of the Colonial Theatre
management to grant them with. The
performance, to be as easy as possible
in our criticism, was positively bad
throughout, every one of the company
seeming to wonder what would hap
pen next. The management of the
theatre, however, should receive SYM
pathy, rather than censure, as the COM
pany had been represented TO them as
q good one by reliable parties. The
work of Miss Kathleen Warner, aero
batic dancer and serio comic, was very
clever, and the only evidence of pro-
fessional training in the entire COM
pany, and she met with many well
deserved encoreH.

A BIRD ON A BRANCH
THE EXPERIENCE OF LIGHT
KEEPER REEDY.
Great Mass of Ice Threatens to
Upset The Greenberry Point
Light-Keeper on
Dufv.

For the past sixty hours or more
Patrick Reedy, keeper of the Green
berry Point lighthouse which guards
the approach to Annapolis harbor was
in peril of his life. With his brother
James who has been keeping with him
the lonely vigil amidst the fields of
floating ice they have worked day and
night TO protect their lives and the
property of the government.
Many times during the dark hours
of the night they feared that they
would be swept into the bay and en-
quilted beneath the great mass of ice
which hemmed them in from succor.
Their danger was due TO the large body
of ice breaking loose and starting on
its journey down the bay. Counter
currents and shifting winds caused
the ice to pile up about the lighthouse
only to break loose with the sounds
of bursting bombs. The great cakes
were flung against the spindle frame
OF the structure and rocked it to and
fro as though it were afioat and not
supposed to be firmly anchored.
Their terrorizing experience began
ON Friday night and continued till an
early hour this morning, when the ice
came to a rest by reason of the cakes
freezing together. For a time they
were given surcease from their strug-
giles and had an opportunity of resting
aud taking stock of the damage. The
first intimation of danger was when
a grinding, crashing sound at the base
of the lighthouse caused them TO
spring to the door and look out and
down below them. At that time ice
was piled high about them and was
every moment receiving additions.
Huge cakes were flung up until they
reached the superstructure of the
building and threatened to crush in
the sides. From that time on there
was scarcely a moments rest from the
terror that threatened them. A crash
in the lamp room at the top of the
structure sent them hurrying in that
direction, where they found that the
lense had nbeen thrown to the floor
from the oscillation of the structure.
1t was replaced and tied in position
only to be loosened with every extra
heavy sway of the lighthouse. So
great did the vibration of the building
become that it was necessary for one
of the men to stand by the light and
hold the lense in position.
All of the dishes were thrown to the
floor and broken and all movable ar
ticles were sent rolling across the
floor. At one time the structure swung
over to an alarming degree and seem
ed about to be cast into the water.
1t slowly righted and hung tremblingly
in. the grasp of the great mass of ice.
While Mr.. Reedy was engaged in col
Iecting the wreckage the stove upset
and would have rolled across the room
had not Reedy caught it and set it
upright. Twice it repeated the per-
formance and it was finally found
necessary to fasten it in position. All
day and night we're they kept at work
and could not take turns at the work.
A slight freeze this morning eased
their work somewhat and it is thought
there will be no further danger until
the ice from the upper bay starts
down.

Ice Conditions Bad

The iceboats Latrobe and Annapolis
came into port last night and both re-
ported the ice conditions in the bay
worse than ever. Captain Griggs, of
the Annapolis, reported the Morgan
Liner FL Paso aground at the lower
end of the Craighill chanel. The FL
Paso grounded yesterday morning
shortly after leaving Baltimore bound
down the bay. She asked to be re-
ported. The floating ice also drove the
tug Peerless, Captain Freeberger. and
her tow of three barges loaded with
lumber from Baltimore to Norfolk in
TO this harbor. The Severn river
shows open water from the Railroad
bridge to Round Bay. Heavy. ice still
remains around the shores. A flock
of wild ducks flew over the Severn yes
terday afternoon, an indication that
hunters may soon find game.
