BRITAIN CASE REVIVED.
Possible Clue to kidnapping May BE
Found Among Indians.

Major Lee Moorhouse has received
a letter from Mr.. and Mrs. R. L. Brit
tain of Walla Walla, asking him to
make inquiries among the Indians re-
garding the kidnapping OF their little
boy, Cecil, from the tollgate last sum-
mer. In the letter the parents say
that a man living near Touchet, Wn.,
was recently told something regard
ing the case by an Indian named Win
nistor, who lives near Adams. Know
ing that Major Moorhouse, through
the friendship which exists between
himself and the Indians, would be
able to learn the truth of the story,
the grief-stricken parents decided to
ask his aid.
Major Moorhouse says he will
learn what he can from the Indians
regarding the story that has been cir
culated, but he fears there is little
foundation for 1t. However, as many
Indians were in the mountains at the
time of the boys strange disappear
ance, 1t may be that some of the tribe
know something about the case.

It's Never Too Late to Mend.

Ex-Governor Herrick of Ohio has evil
IDENTIFY thrown to the winds his parti-
sanship for the Republican party and
has Joined the independents OF perhaps
the Democracy, for in his farewell adj
dress to the legislature he recommend
ed about all the measures that the
Democrats have been fighting for and
that the Republicans have either op-
posed or failed to enact. This sudden
conversion of the governor for good,
wholesome reforms is more encourag-
ing than his defeat for governor was,
for it must lead many other Republic
ans to see the error Of their way and
come YER to the help of the Democrat
ic patriots against the hosts Of evil.
Directly Boss Cox was defeated and
retired from the ring the good qualities
of Governor Herrick began to appear,
which only shows the power for evil
that these corrupt political bosses
maintain over their followers through
fear of personal political consequences.
