AUTOMOBILE STRUCK TRAIN,
two PEOPLE WERE KILLED

Westbury. l.. l., May "a. - While
running at 40 miles an hour an auto
mobile owned by p. +. Collier dashed
into an eastbound express at the rail-
road crossing. The two occupants OF
the machine, George Bishop, the chat
feur, and Fred Whitehead, valet in
the Collier family, were instantly kill
and the machine was wrecked. The
men were on their way TO the MEADOW
Brook club.
1t is impossible to see train at the
crossing until it is almost reached. Be-
cause of several accidents at this place
it has been named Death crossing.
Bishop apparently did not see or hear
the approaching train.
Twenty yards from the crossing
Bishop threw ON the brakes, but the
momentum carried the automobile
along at an apparently undiminished
speed. The machine crashed into the
second car of the train with a loud re-
port, as If the gasoline tank had ex.
ploded. The automobile was caught
between the rear trucks of the car and
dragged along for nearly half mile
before the train was stopped. Bishop
and Whitehead were pinloned in the
wreckage and carried along by the
train. The men were literally ground
to pieces.

VOTERS CAN
NOW REGISTER
Books Will Open in
Various Wards
Tomorrow

The registration of voters who will
participate in the June city election
will commence tomorrow at o'clock
in the various wards. this being the
fourth Saturday before the holding Of
the election. The registrars will be in
the places assigned from 9 a. m. until
p. m. and from to Q p. m. each Sat-
urday until the election.
The books of the registrars last year
show that 257 voters were registered
ward and 49S in the third ward. 1t is
expected that these figures will be ma
terially increased this year
The fact that there will be little con-
test in the city elections may, how
ever, have a tendency to reduce the
number of registrations, but an effort
will be made to get the names of all
voters on the registration books during
the four weeks the books will be open.
In the first ward an alderman will be
elected to succeed Eben Mounce and
among those most prominently mem
toned are Mr. Mounce as his own sue
cessor, l.. B. Howard and j. b. West.
In the second ward it Is probable
that no opposition will be presented
against Alderman George Erb, who will
be reelected to succeed himself. and
the same condition exists in the third
ward where large delegation Of citi-
zens have prevailed upon Councilman
Wing to again represent them in city
affairs.
Robert d. Stanton will register the
voters in the first ward, which COM
prises all that part Of the city between
Fifth street and Snake River avenue
and the books will be located in the
N. p. express office. e. o. Martinson
will register in the second ward. which
comprises that part of the city between
Fifth street and Thirteenth street and
north of the Clearwater river and the
registering place will be at RusselIs
grocery store. The third ward COM
prises all that part of the city east OF
Thirteenth street and the registering
will be done by Miss Nellie Harrington
at her home on East Main street.
The three registrars will carry
blanks with them for the convenience
Of those voters who are unable to visit
the different registering places.

MRS. ATHERTON
BURIED TODAY
Mother is Convinced
Her Daughter
is Dead

Special to Evening Teller.
Grangeville. Idaho. May 1S-The
heartbroken mother Of Mrs. Anterior
is now convinced that her daughter is
dead. Mrs. Smith became convinced of
this fact after a final examination by
the doctors last night, and the hour for
interment has been set for $3.50 this
afternoon.
Mrs. Atherton died suddenly at the
Hump Sunday. She had accompanied
her husband to the mines but few
days before. After reaching there she
had complained of being tired, but was
in no way i'll. She had been suffering
from rheumatism shortly before this
and 1t is now supposed that the rheu-
matism reached her heart and was the
immediate cause Of her death.
When the corpse was brought to this
city Wednesday, the body was limp,
and with a flush on the cheeks and ear
lobes, her mother could not believe the
woman dead. Doctors made every eff
fort to restore the spark Of life IL 1t
still burned.
They were soon convinced the
woman was dead, but as no signs of
decomposition set in the body was kept
unburied until today, over Ave days
after Mrs. Atherton's sudden death.
Yesterday 1t was necessary to call
on members Of Co. G to guard the
home where the body lay so great was
the crowd of morbid sightseers who
sought to catch glimpse of the
woman. It is estimated that 1000
viewed the remains yesterday.

SEARCH FOR NEW FOODS.
All the World Levied Upon for
Plants and Fruits.

All the World Levied Upon for
Plants and Fruits.
The recent agitation on the subject
Of preparing meats and meat products
has turned popular attention more
strongly than any other cause to an in
terest in vegetarian diet, and this in
turn has induced curiosity as to the
origin Of the vegetables which we know
best in this country, says the New York
Post. Every one knows, of course, that
potatoes are the mainstay of the Irish
and rice Of the Chinese. If there Is a
failure Of the wheat crop, there is fam
Inc in India and the sympathy Of the
whole civilized world Is drawn upon
to supply the wherewithal to tide over
the years deficiency. England must
maintain great navy to prevent its
being isolated from its bases of food
supply in case of war, as much as for
the protection Of its colonies.
Taking lesson from these patent facts
this country, In spite Of the unusually
wide range Of its products and its prac-
tical immunity from harm on this score
even under stress of war, has under
taken, through bureau Of the Depart
ment of Agriculture, to search the
whole world for every sort of growing
thing which has possibilities as a food
product. Having found such a plant.
it has been imported here for develop
ment in the government laboratories
and subsequent distribution to such
government experiment stations or pri-
vate growers as could develop 1t most
scientifically for the climate to which
1t is best suited.
Many persons consider Ireland the
home Of the potato, which has become
such a necessary part Of the average
Americans diet. The plant came to
this country from the highlands Of Co
lumbia and Peru, a section Of the world
which has furnished a number Of the
best known and most widely cultivat-
ed vegetables Of the present time. The
tomato was introduced from Peru back
in civil war days, when ignorant peo-
pie had an idea that It was a poison
Gus plant Agricultural statistics Of
the past year show that superstftIous
fear Of the tomato has disappeared suf-
ficiently to encourage the growing Of
this popular food on 100000 acres. The
lima bean is another vegetable of pop
ular consumption which came from the
same South American country, having
been introduced here about eighty-five
years ago. Thousands upon thousands

First GIimmer Of a Star.

A little girl, the French critic Sarcey
related, once presented herself at the
Paris Conservative in order to pass
the examination for admission. All
she knew was the fable of ''The Two
Pigeons" but she had no sooner recited
the opening lines when Auber stopped
her, with a gesture.
Enough" he said "Come here, my
child"
The little girl, who was pale and
thin, but whose eyes cleaned with in
telligence, approached him with an air
of assurance.
"Your name Is Sarah?" he said.
Eyes, sir" was the reply.
"You are a Jewess"
eyes, sir, by birth, but have been
baptized"
"She has been baptized" said Auber,
turning to his colleagues. "She has
said her fable of The Two Pigeons
very well. She must be admitted"
Thus Sarah Bernhardt, for it was
she, entered the Conservatoire.

The old Clock on the Stair.

The Old Clock on the Stair.
Somewhat back from the village street
Stands the old-fashioned country seat;
Across its antique portico
Tall poplar trees their shadows throw,
And from its station in the hall
An ancient timepiece says to all,
tOrever-never
Never-foreyer -
Halfway up the stairs it stands,
AND points and beckons with its hands
From its case of massive oak,
Like monk, who, under his cloak,
Crosses himself, and signs, alas
With sorrowful voice to all who pass
FOrever-never
Never-foreverw p
By day It's voice is low and light:
But in the silent dead of night,
Distinct as a passing footsteps fall,
1t echoes along the vacant hall,
Along the ceiling, along the floor,
And seems to say at each chamber door,
"Forever-never!
Never-forever ~
Through days of death and days of birth,
Through every swift Vicissitude
Of changeful time, unchanged it has stood,
And as if, like God, it all things saw,
/: calmly repeats those words of awe
'tOrever-never
Never-forever !"
In that mansion used to be
Free-hearted Hospitality;
His great fires up the chimney roared;
The stranger Toasted at his board
But like the skeleton at the feast,
That warning timepiece never ceased
"Forever-never
NeVer-forever! !"
There groups of merry children played,
There youths and maidens dreaming
strayed.
0 precious hours, o golden prime,
An aft1uence of love and time
Even as a miser counts his gold,
Those hours the ancient timepiece told
"Forever-neverl
Never--forever J"
From that chamber, clothed In white,
The bride came forth on her wedding
night;
There, in that silent room below,
The dead lay in his shroud of snow;
And in the hush that followed the prayer
Was heard the old clock on the stair
"Forever-never
NeYer-forever -
All are scattered now and fed.
Some are married, some are dead;
And when | ask, with throbs Of pain,
"Ah when shall they all meet again?"
AS in the days long since gone by,
The ancient timepiece makes reply
"Foreyer-never
Never-forever |"
Never here, forever there,
Where all parting, pain and care
And death and time shall disappear
Forever there, but never hereI
The horologe of Eternity
Sayeth this incessantly-
"Forever-neveri
Never-forever !"
Henry w. Longfellow.

The nearest door was open. He look

For a moment he held back. Then
he took step forward. How the very
atmosphere semed to be filled with her.
It was a wonderful room.

Then he gave little start.

He gave one lingering look around
the room and hurried down the stairs,
and SO back to the waiting car.
The naturally acute manager of the
great house of Condit & Co. was singu-
larly absent-minded that day. Once
the surprised Denslow detected him

He laughed at the discovery.

And he went on humming as he glanced

His face was flushed when he asked
