Overman, A. w. Talkington and
w. H. Harris were chosen as dele
gates to the Wallace convention at
the democratic convention held in
this city last Saturday.
The expected contest between the
two factions in the party was not as
strenuous as had been anticipated, the
resolutions offered by the democratic
faction as against the Duboisites being
defeated by vote of SO to 81. This
resolution provided that each faction
in the convention elect nine delegates
to the Wallace convention, which
meets on August 4th, and that the
delegates go uninstructed except to
work for harmony in the party in the

OF the battleships and the exciting,
adventurous life of the sailor attracted
HIM and he applied for admission to
serve Uncle Sam as a sailor lad. The
result was that he took an examination
and passed with high honors.
After the examination he returned
to this city for short visit with rela-
tlves and friends before leaving to
begin his life on the sea. Young
Swartz was very jubilant over his
prospects and seemed anxious to Join
the sailors at San Francisco.

ernor Gooding, Chief Justice Ailshie,
Senators Hepburn and Borah and
Congressman French. The direct
primary nomination law, whereby all
county and state officers and u. S.

vote of the people was heartily COM
mended by the delegates at White
Bird, who urged that such declara-
tion be inserted in the state platform.
The practice of nominating a candi-
date for u. S. senator by the state
convention was also mentioned with
favor among the many resolutions
adopted at Saturdays convention.
Quite a number of local people

who were present in the Salmon

accorded the delegates by the resident.

and sincere nature.

Vernon Swartz, the sixteen-year-
old son of Theodore Swartz, who
resides on the White Bird road, left
the FIRST of the week for San Francisco
where he will report for duty on one
OF the battleships of the United States

The circumstances and conditions
under which young Swartz enters the

Plans Well Developed for Trans

Commercial Club to Hear Details
of Project Monday Night.

Along with the good news that the
n. P. railroad is shortly to be
completed and in operation to Grange
vile and the announcement that the
city will have electric illumination
and power soon, together with the
beginning of bounteous harvest
of grains and grasses all over the
prairie country, comes the still better
news of the launching of project to
construct an electric railroad from
Elk City and Orc Grande down the
! Clearwater river to Grangeville.
This electric road proposition is
being fathered by the mining camps
of Dixie, Elk City, Orc Grande and
Buffalo Hump, and the completion
of such a road would mean worlds of
good for all these camps and Grange
vile and Lewiston also. Promoters
of the road have been at work on the
project for several weeks and two
mass meetings have been held at Elk
CITY when several Wisconsin and
Minnesota capitalists, representing
CHICAGO and New York money, con-
ferred with the residents of the Elk
district. The sum of 5000, 900 is
already subscribed for the road, which
is to be known as the ELK City,
Lewiston & Spokane Electric rail-
way." The Northern Pacific now
holds by franchise a right of way
down the river, and as this expires
this year it is probable that the new
company will acquire it.
Commercial Club to Meet.
F. L. Leonard, president of the
Commercial club, received letter

florence Hotelkeeper Shot BY
Charles S. Spaulding.
TROUBLE OVER DEBT
Preliminary Hearing to Be Held
Here Next Friday.

o. L. Benson was shot and killed
by Charles S. Spaulding last Friday
evening about O clock at Florence,
the historic old gold camp and min
inc town. News of the shooting was
Immediately telephoned to this city
and Deputy Sheriff John Byron and
DR.. F. A. Campbell left for the
scene of the tragedy. Later the
report that Benson had expired about
IS minutes after the shooting was
sent out and Undertaken Paul Bailor
went in to care for the remains.
The story of the shooting is told as
follows: Spaulding entered Benson S
hotel, which is also the postoffice, and
enquired for his mail. Benson, in
the course of remarks, asked Spauld-
ing in regard to the payment of the
sum of $50 which the latter owed the
hotelkeeper Spaulding replied that
he could pay the debt in one year, by
note, and Benson, accepting the
proposition, wrote out the note Upon
inspecting the same Spaulding found
that payment was to be made in sixty
days instead of a year, according to
the note, and protested about this
detail. In reply Benson muttered an
oath and informed Spaulding that he
would not leave the house until he
signed the note. Benson at that time
reached for his hip pocket as if to
draw weapon. Spaulding fired
quickly at Benson, the ball entering
the body just above the left nipple.
Spaulding left the hotel and soor
after started for Grangeville to give
himself up. He met Messrs. Byron
and Campbell about 9 miles from
Florence and arrived here Saturday
evening. He has been placed undeI
$1,000 bonds. The preliminary
hearing will be held Friday morning
before Judge Vineyard w. N. Scale
has been employed as Spaulding'
attorney.
Benson's body was brought to thi
city and the funeral will be held here
tomorrow. E. E. Benson, of Wheel
er, Washington, and Howard Benson
residing near Spokane, brothers o
the deceased, are here to attend thu
services.
Mr.. Benson was about IS years o
age. He leaves a wife, at presen
residing in this city.
Both Benson and Spaulding arr

Hocus POcus and that Sort Of Thing.
I saw Hindoo out in the open street
take three good sized balls, larger and
heavier than hens eggs, and commence
tossing them up In the air, catching
them as they returned. Soon his hands
were motionless, but the balls kept
ascending and, so far as I know, are
ascending still. They did not return.
Were they dematerialized by some In
visible psychic power? Such is my
opinion. During my stay in Madras
there came down from mountain a
genuine psychic and seer. He was
truly a venerable mystic. In bunga-
low on a bright sunshiny day, o'clock
p. M, dozen present, this old yogi
burned incense, repeated some mantras
and said in substance, NOW can
move any object in this room by my
will" Rejecting few moments, /
said, Command those peacock plumes
up there TO come to you" Focusing
his thought, his will, upon them, they
leaped at his bidding from the case
and, sailing around the room, fell at
his feet. Other objects were moved in
q similar manner. This was genuine
white magic.-St James Gazette.

WOMEN AND STARVING
CHILDREN SEEK WORK
TwoFamilies, From Danville,
Land in City Alright, Pen
niless and Without
Friends.

Absolutely penniless and without a
friend or even an acquaintance in the
city Mrs. Mamie Atkins with five
young children and her sister, Mrs.
Martha Walker, with three, arrived
In Richmond last night on the 1880
O'Clock Southern Railway train from
night by the Associated Charities. On
the same train was young woman
from Spotsylvanla county, also with
out money and sick in addition. She
was taken by DIR. Scott. OF the ambu-
lance corps, to the City Home.
The mother applied to the policeman
ut the depot. asking him if there was
any place In Richmond where they
could get nights lodlng and some
food for themselves and their little
ones, telling him at the same time
that they had nothing with which to
pay for such comforts.
Told Pitifnl story.
At the headquarters of the Asso-
ciated Charities they recited pitiful
story and the sight of the eight starv-
ing children, the Oldest of which is a
girl Of fifteen. and the youngest a
baby only two years OF age, touched
the workers at the institution.
According to Mrs. Atkins. she and

ing in boarders from the mills. Her
husband, Mark Atkins. carpenter by
trade and drinking man, has not
lived with them since December. She
said Mrs. Walkers husband died about
three years ago. The women did their
own house work and got enough boartl-
ers to live without want.
When hard times came recently,
however, many of the boarders had to
leave on account of failure to get other
work after the mills closed down. "A
number OF them overl ooked their bills
when they departed. Things went from
bad to worse. when atlast. finding that
they could not make living nor meet
their own bills which had fallen due,
the two women took theirgcllildren and
came here With the hope OF finding
enough work to- buy clothes and food
They declare they do not wish to be
objects OF charity, and would be ,fonly
too glad to get employment of any
kind.
Looking for Work.
Besides husband she describes as
worthless 81 far as taking carcSof the
family is concerned, Mrs. Atkins has
a son twenty years of age, who. she
says rarely; works, and when he does
contributes nothing to her support
He spends most of his time riding the
trains from place to place. \ She also
has daughter seventeen years old
who is married For. n time her son,
Wflburn, about thirteen years ,old,

ever he was able to get employment

is a boy of ten. They. were al made
