CANADA'S GREATEST CELEBRATION
COMMENCES TODAY At QUEBEC

was faithfully carried out by his
friend and schoolmate. Wolfe left no
family and sleeps a brave warriors
sleep entombed by the side Of his
father and mother in the chapel OF
the ancient palace of Greenwich.
AS is well known, hi schivalrous OPP
ponent, the Marquis de Montcalm,
found a soldiers grave meath the
chapel Of the Ursuine Convent, Que
bee, in an excavation made by the
bursting Of a shell from one Of the
British meu-of-war, bombarding the
city during Wolfe's attack on the
tiPlains." King Louis XIV, in reoog-
milton Of Montcalm's splendid services
at Tlconderoga, and the defense Of
Quebec, bestowed pension OF $4,000
year upon his widow and children,
which was, strange to say, continued
to them, and the only pension left by
the leaders of the revolution.
About Is years ago, the press of
Paris announced the death at Mont
pelier Of the Marquis de Montcalm,
who was prominent in society, and
one of the most popular members of
the Union club Of Paris. He left no
children, but merely an adopted son
of the name st. Maurice, wh6 married
a Corsican lady named Mile. Pozzo de
Borgo.
There are alleged to be descendants
of Generals de Labs and Murray, who
fought at the battle of Ste. Foye. The
former was a cadet of the French
and Spanish ducal houses Of Lewis
Mirepolx, and which claim descent
from Levi, the son of Jacob.

BRIDE GOT THE LICENSE.
Travelled 1900 Miles to We'd and Then
Secured the Permit.

Another leap year bride took out
a license at the court house yesterday
to wed a bashful young man, says the
Spokesman Review. She more fully
lived up to the traditions Of the year
by having only a few days since jour
neyed 1900 miles TO wed a sweetheart
of long standing.
The fair applicant for the license
was Miss Mildred L. Bowmen OF
Minneapolis, and she is to marry Har-
ry A. Miller, editor of a paper at Fer
rell. Idaho. and director of the Fer
rell orchestra.
Miss Bowen denied that she had
taken the initiative in the ceremony
which is about TO be performed.
"It was entirely a matter OF reci-
procity," she explained, when asked
II she were a regulation leap year
bride. my prospective husband
wasn't afraid to take out the license.
He was simply to busy getting ready
for our wedding and attending to his
business at Ferrel, that / just had TO
come and get the license myself. We
had arranged to be married tomorrow
and he had intended getting to Spo-
kane in time to secure the license. He
was unable to do so, and rather than
have the wedding postponed 1 made
up my mind that 1 could get the per-
NIT for our marriage just as we'll as
not, so here am, and it didn't take
much nerve after ALL"
Miss Bowen and Mr.. Miller grew
up together in Minneapolis, and their
Idaho a short time ago to embark
In business for himself. Success
crowned his efforts in the new coun-
try from the start. He found that the
climate agreed with him and he liked
the people. He also liked the scenery
and the way they do business in Ida
no. There was only one thing lack
ing, he found to fill his cup OF happi-
ness to the brim, and that was Mil
dred.
1t needed only little correspond
ence to prepare that young woman
for n hurry-up trip 10 spokane TO INK
her life with her beau ideal of what
a man should be.
They will be married at 4 o'clock
this afternoon by the Rev. Mr.. Rock
kood, at the home of the brides
school-day friend, Mrs. John NJ.
Long, 1880 Broadway. They will re-
side at Ferrell.

CHAPTER II.-fcontinuedA


AT i've o'clock on the afternoon Of IN,
day after Mr. Conrads death. Mr.. Drum
mond entered the house, which was OF
the opposite side Of the street from tn,
store. This was the supper hour and
supper was ready upon the table.
A single glance was sufficient to show
that Mr.. Drummond was not a man 10
indulge in luxurious living. There was a
plate Of white bread. cut in thin slices.
small plate of butter. half a pie, and
plate Of cake. A small pitcher Of milk.
bowl of coarse brown sugar, and pot
OF the cheapest kind of tea completed the
preparations for the evening meal. Ger
tainly there was nothing extravagant
about these preparations: but Mr.. Drum
mond thought otherwise. His attention
was at once drawn to the cake, aud in
stantly frown gathered upon his face.
Are you going TO have company to-
night, Mrs. Drummonds' he asked.
Not that / know Of" answered his
wife. in some surprise.
Then why IS it that you have put both

Mrs. Drummond rose from the table.
and meekly removed the offending cake
Just then the third and only other mem -,
Der Of the family entered
This was Joshua Drummond. the only :

looked scarcely more than sixteen He in l

la GRANDE RUM MEN UNEASY.
Rnmor says Grand Jury May Return
Several Indictments.

La Grande. Ore. Oct. S.-The cir
cult court for October convened Mon
day morning and the grand jury is in
session. Its first action was to free
a defendant who had been charged
with beating his wife.
While there is nothing to warrant
the belief exactly it is rumored about
that the jury will consider charges Of
bootlegging before its session is over
With the prestige of the Pendleton
grand jury to back the rumor some
are inclined to believe that several
indictments are pending on charges OF
local option violation.
The circuit court has an especially
heavy docket this year. 1t includes
an equity case in which an estate
valued at 100000 may revert to the
state. The heirs number six and over
a year ago the father died, leaving
the property evenly divided. All dis
pensation was made by the admins
traitor, who was discharged after the
final settlement The state has found
evidence that John Greyson. the dead
man. was an illegitimate child, hence
the heirs apparent are false. There
are said to be no legal heirs.
