EVIDENCE
IN TYLER MURDER
Witnesses Wanted in Preliminary
Hearing Adams Case

Wallace, Idaho, Sept 30. Dep
uty Sheriff Hicks left yesterday after.
noon for the little North Fork Of the
st. Joe river to bring back II possible
certain witnesses wanted by the state
in the preliminary hearing of Steve
Adams, being held here for the Ty.
Ter murder committed in that section
in August, 1904.
Another deputy left for that dis
trict on a similar mission this morn
ing. It seems impossible fer the
deputies to get witnesses here In
time, but 1t was stated this morning
that Attorney Knight, retained by the
state to assist Prosecuting Attorney
Clyde in the effort to convict Adams,
that IL necessary the case will be
postponed from time to time for 10
years il it takes that long to gather
witnesses.
The report was launched here this
morning, supposed to have emanated
from the defense, that Harry Orchard
plior to the commencement Of Sheriff
Sutherland's overla ad journey with
Adams, had been spirited away from
Boise and brought north, and that
now he is in this district, Spokane or
some other northwestern point being
held to be called on short notice IL
needed as a witness In the Adams
preliminary hearing. This was de-
MED by Warden Whitney, who came
north with the sheriff's party.

way up here Whitney told him that

CLUB DIRECTORS
HOLD MEETING
Talk of Matters of Importance
to City

The board of directors of the Occur
d'Alene Commercial club, limited
held an interesting meeting last even
ing at the council chamber and
started the ball rolling in the direc-
ton of several important matters for
the city's betterment.
A committee was appointed COM
posed of A. w. Branson, Philip
Harding and ]. @. White to attend
the meeting of the association of the
Inland Empire Commercial clubs
which will be held in Spokane Mon
day.
Among other important matters
we're the appointmnt of committe
composed of Geo. F. Steele, s. G.
Sargent and Philip Harding to in
vestigate the proposal to secure and es-
tablish club rooms. A number of
the members of the club are very
much interested in this project, and it
is very probable that in the near flu
ture such rooms will be thrown open
to the club. Here the members and
visitors invited by them may spend
their idle hours, enjoying the seclu-
sion not found elswehere. There
will be a reading room where the
latest periodicals may be found; a
writing room, and it may be that a
gymnasium will be instituted. There
will be billiard and pool table, and
the club will be place where visi-
tors and members of the commercial
clubs of other cities may be enter
tanned.
The board also appointed COM
mittee of three composed Of J. T.
Scott, A. w. Branson and Philip
Harding to investigate the proposal
of an Ohio manufacturing firm to To-
cate in this city. This firm desires
to locate factory where they may
manufacture a new model of the
spring tooth harrow. This style of
harrow is practically new inven-
ton which does away with all the
customary bolts which are continual
ly dropping out and causing the farm

A PERFECT HAND.
How Its Appearance Became Familiar
to the Public.

to the Public.
The story of how probably the
most perfect feminine hand in Ameri-
ca became known to the people Is
rather interesting.
AS the story goes the possessor OF
the hand was with some friends in
photographers one day and while
talking, held up piece Of candy.
The pose of the hand with its per
feet contour and faultlesS shape at
tracted the attention of the artist who
proposed to photograph it. The re-
suit was a beautiful picture kept in
the family until one day, after read
ing a letter from someone inquiring
as to who wrote the Postum and
Grape-Nuts advertisements, Mr.. Post
said to his wife, I'VE receive so
many inquiries Of this kind, that 1t is
evident some people are curious
to know, suppose we let the advertis-
Using department have that picture
of your hand to print and name 1t "a
Helping Hand" (Mrs. Post has as
sisted him in preparation of some Of
the most famous advertisements).
There was a natural shrinking
from the publicity, but with an agree
ment that no name would accompany
the picture its use was granted.
The case was presented in the light
Of extending a welcoming hand to the
friends of Postum and Grape-Nuts.
80 the picture appeared on the back
covers OF many of the January and
February magazines and became
known to millions of people.
Many artists have commented upon
It as probably the most perfect hand
In the world.
The advertising dept. Of the Post
um Co. did not seem able to resist the
temptation to enlist the curiosity Of
the public, by refraining from giving
the name Of the owner when the pic
ture appeared but stated that the
name would be given later in one oil
the newspaper announcements, thus
seeking to induce the readers to lool
for and read the forthcoming adver
tisements to learn the name Of the
owner.
This combination OF art and com
merce and the multitude Of inquiries
furnishes an excellent illustration o
the interest the public takes in thu
personal and family life Of larg'
manufacturers whose. names become
household words through EXTENSIVE
and continuous announcements Il
newspapers and periodicals..

Grounds for Opposition.

One of President Roosevelt's West

The president was willing and sought
to find him a place. He had about
settled on one when there came great
protest from the Western friends

president, that he had killed four
men. I didn't know that. Still, the
homicide record did not form the basis
of the protest. The people who op-
posed my friend opposed him not on
the ground of killing people, but be-
cause they said he was an agnostic."

region of the heart, palpitation and
shortness of breath SO that could not
walk very fast. My head ached very
badly and l was seized with vomiting
spells whenever I took any food. A doc

lief. Then tried second doctor with

very weak. could not keep the most
delicate broth OH my stomach, and at
the end of month l was scarcely more
than skin and bone and was really starv-

sister had got from DR.. Williams Pink
