AN EDITORS APPEAL
To Brother Publishers in Behalf OF
DR.. Byers. of SeeleyviIle. Ind.

To Brother Publishers IN Be'lalf OF
DR.. Byers, of SeeleyviIle, Ind.
Ii the editor of every paper in the
central west will publish these lines
there is no question but what DR.. 5.
L Byers, of Seeleyville, Iud., will
recover his little son who was stolen
from his home one year ago last May.
Dr.. BJers has spent his entire re-
sources in search for his child and
unless the big hearted members of
the press come to his assistance his
son gill grow up an outlaw and sn
ouscast among the lowest people OF
the earth. 1t is cause that should
appeal to every one and no father
reading these lines can do 80 without
a quickening Of the heart and SYM
pathetic throb Il is believed that
if this article is reprinted in the
newspapers it will form an endless
chain that will uncover the lost boys
concealment and return him to his
distracted parents. In doing this
the profession of journalism will bs
fulfilling one of It's highest destinies.
Publishers whose circulations touch
the Wabash, Ohio and Mississippi
valleys are especially requested to
reproduce this story of the lost child,
as Dr.. Byers believes his boy is now
on some houseboat waiting to take
the road in the spring. There is a
reward OF $500 awaiting any infor-
nation that will lead to the boys re-
covery. No questions will be asked
and if The abductor himself would
deliver the boy to his parents be
would not be uoolested. The bereav-
ed parents are heart broken with
grief and want only their child. II
each Journal will reprint these lines
they will travel to every exchange
table in the Uaited States and bring
back to wretched home child who
is now no doubt suffering with cold,
unfed and wretched to a degree.
Tank of what your own feelings
would be under similar circumstances!
This appeal is indicted originally BY
a publisher who saw DR.. Byers on'y
once, has no personal interest in bis
quest other than the bond of gym
pathy that makes the world akin, and
is inspired from the belief that the
Loaf boy can only be found through
the united effort OF the country press
of which he is proud to be member.
His recovery will be triumph in
advertising and no editor whose
heart is placed right will refuse this
appeal. Remember, it may be your
child next!
DESCRIPTION.

years old last July, is OF light COM
plexion, has gray eyes, left eye MOTTO
bly, crossed, has small V shaped
nick in the edge of the left ear, has
sharp chin and narrow, projecting
forehead. he is rather small for his
age and is unusually bright and in
telligent, talking after the manner of

rowing bands that frequent the United

ELECTRIC ROAD 4 SURE 60.
Line Thru Rathdrum Will be
Built.
REPORTS ARE ENCOURAGING.
Work to Begin July lst
Road Is Financed.

All reports of last week and thi,
week, regarding the Spokane 8
Pend d'Oreille Rapid Transit
electric road which will pass
through Rathdrum on the way be.
tween Spokane and Pend d'Oreille
lake, indicate that the road is not
only assured beyond a doubt but
that work on the actual construc
ton will begin at very early date.
The road mas been financed and
the officials stats that work will
begin July Ist. The right Of way
in Spokane was secured last week,
a change being made from the
route the road was At FIRST intend.
ed to take in that city. According
to the franchise the work on the
road must begin within 60 days
and the officials promise that the
line will be equipped and running
within year.
1t is not expected that the con
troversy with the Inland Empire
company over the Leiberg place
will prove a serious obstacle, being
only part OF the game of obstruc-
tive tactics adopted by the rival
company. While Blackwell's willy
coup has given rise 10 some doubts
and misgivings in the minds oi
many who wish TO see the road
materialize, confidence in the ulti.
mate completion Of the enterprise
has as yet by no means been shat.
tered. From some OF the latest
reports Of the splendid faith Of the
promoters there can be no possible
doubt that the road will be built.

An Absurd Story,

The special correspondent at Rath-
drum Of the Standpoint News writes
an absurd story about the alleged
rejoicing In Rathdrum over the re.
suit of the Shoshone county primaries.
The republican club(9) wired congrat.
ulatiOns and on paper one would
think that storm of joy surged Ovel
the town.
AS one has said, the 50. recalled re
publican club consists Of two ex-fu
sionists and one disgruntled republi
can and no more expresses the senti
ment of Rathdrum than the grant
dukes express the liberal sentiment o
Russia.

A SEVERE WRECK.
Freight Trains In Collision a
Rathdrum Depot.

| A~AsSASsA 0sAA A>SRVSs
Y One of the severest wrecks tina,
[ has ever occurred in Rathdrum
took place at the depot about 1
o'clock last Saturday morning
when two locomotives were more
Qr less demolished and two box
cars destroyed. Fortunately nc
one was killed or injured.
An eastbound train was stand
ing on the track nearest the water
tank, when westbound train
coming down the grade at reduced
speed turned in on the switch and
struck the standing locomotive
diagonally, throwing it over on its
side upon the platform, tearing
the cab off and ripping the side Of
the tender. Two box cars, laden
with lumber were twisted and torn
and also overturned upon the plat
form, crushing it down and SHOW
ing it over toward the lawn and
obstructing passage. The engine
which did the damage was also
somewhat injured and thrown
from the track but not overturned.
The engineer on the locomotive
which was thrown over, jumped
and thus escaped possible injury.
Marshal Rogers who was on the
platform narrowly avoided being
caught by the cars, while Night
Operator Cad hastily evacuated
the Office and sought safety in the
lawn. Had the wrecked cars been
empty they would probably have
been hurled against the corner Of
the depot.
A wrecker and crew were hastily
summoned from Spokane and were
at work all day and late into the
night clearing away the wreckage
and repairing the damaged track.
Traffic was not blocked, a side
track remaining unaffected by the
collision.

A body Of representative repnb-

cred in caucus at the court house

expressed opinion that the opposi-

orally called, had developed no
strength in the precinct and would
probably have no ticket in the
field at the primary election in
this precinct, it was apparent that
the consistent efforts of those pre-
sent was to nominate ticket that
would command the confidence
