BURIED IN PINE GROVE.
Mrs Thierbach Married Twenty Years
 Ago at Ellis Island.

The remains of Mrs Andrew Thier-
 bach, who was found dead in bed
 yesterday at her home on Baldwin street, were buried yesterday in Pine Grove cemetery. Mrs Thierbach's married life was not such as many women would desire. It was con- stant struggle for existence, and not withstanding that she was handicap ped by an accident that happened to her when she was child, which left her almost cripple, she managed to maintain pleasant home for herself and her husband until quite recently when she was taken i'll and probably died for want of somebody's kind hand. Twenty years ago when Mir Thierbach was boarding at the resi- dence of Lewis Strobel at the corner of South Main and Jewelry street, and worked at Benedict & Burnham's he left for new York few days be- fore the Fourth of July, telling the family that he was going down to Ellis Island to find himself a wife. Everybody took the remark as a joke but they didn't think so when a few days later he returned with his bride. The wedding reception was a pleasant affair and those who took part in the festivities and are still living cannot help saying that swell wedding is no guarantee of a happy life. peaceful death and a Christian burial. Mrs Thierbach at that time was pleasant. cheerful, German woman and if given half show there is no doubt but that she would have done her work well. In fact she did do we'll and if the home went to pieces and she died alone and un- known to her husband and neighbors there is nothing to prove that she was at fault. She belonged to a re- spectable family in the old country. but like many others she thought she would improve her condition by com ing to America. But, alas, she hap pened to be one of those who missed her aim. And yet she seemed to en- joy life. In the midst of her trou- bles she could laugh and tell interest ing anecdotes of the times when the future was full of hope for her. She enjoyed the companionship of her husband and the thing that worried her most was how he would get along when he wouldn't have her to look after him. The authorities take a charitable view of her husbands conduct. It is not likely that he knew the real situation else he could not have acted so towards such faithful wife. He has been removed to the Brookside home.

WAR ON LIQUOR TRAFFIC.
Woolley Says American People Are
 Aroused.

Saratoga, N. Y, June 2S.-The evils of the liquor traffic and the progress of the wave of prohibition were themes developed in detail by John G. Woolley of Chicago, can- didate for president on the prohibi- tion ticket in 1900, in a speech Sunday before a meeting of the worlds temperance congress. Many of the local churches gave over their pulpits Sunday to temperance workers. '~
 The important events in the two concluding days of the congress will be discussion of the army canteen question and the annual contest of the intercollegiate oratorical society of the Eastern Star, with contestants from New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan and Louisiana.
 Tn the course of his speech Sum day, MT Woolley said:
 Whatever party wins in Novem- Der, honesty and courage will be inaugurated in March, and in the air of such an administration the H. censed liquor traffic cannot get its breath. The great parties are in the field again this year, but there has been mighty change. This is no longer a. government of parties, by parties for parties. The people have taken command in their own right and in their own name. The countersign for the day and the war is cooperation. The alarm clock may now be silent. The nation is awake. The American people are proceeding in orderly democratic ways, to kill the liquor traffic. Our business now is to do what the people want done, and do 1t we'll"

BOARD OF EDUCATION
Received Bids For Furnishing
 Coal Without Certified Check.

The board of education held a meeting last evening and awarded the contract for the coal supply for the year. The advertisements con- tained clause that each bid should be accompanied by certified check for five per cent of the total amount. There were three bidders but none of them contained certified check, and two of them had none at all.
 The first bid opened was from the Citizens Coal Go for $6.95 ton. A note enclosed stated that the ac- companying check for $125 was not certified as the bank was closed after it was drawn up, but it would be a mere matter of form to have 1t certi- fled if the bid was accepted.
 The board did not seem to consider this quite regular until the bids from the other two coal concerns were opened and it was found they had no accompanying check. They were from John Byron, whose bid was $7.07 a ton, and John McElligott, $7.O5 a ton. This situation placed the board thus:
 If the three bids were thrown out, it would be necessary to advertise over again which would require ten days from the first day of the publi- cation of the "ad," and as the board meets again next Monday evening it would mean another meeting and probably nothing different from the present would result. So in view of this situation it was voted to award the contract to the lowest bidder, he Citizens Coal Go, provided, of course, it's check is certified to-day.
 There is on hand to pay for coal $7,59S.97, and the coal supply is about 1,S00 tons. It was voted to have the city attorney get after the Granite Construction Co to clear up its job in the Driggs school building.

THE SWIMMING POOL
HamiIion Park is Eav0rite Spot
 These Days.

Tomorrow will be ladies' day at the swimming pool at Hamilton park and Superintendent Walker will have everything in readiness for the oc- casion. An expert lady swimmer will be on hand to assist beginners. This is something of an innovation, but it will be kept up during the season provided the women folks take an interest in it. A large at tendance is looked for. tomorrow and it is hoped that the management will not be disappointed.
 The most popular place in the city at present when the mercury is flirting with the one hundredtli degree mark is the swimming pool at the park. If ever anything has been appreciated it is certainly the bathing place which is crowded with swimmers morning, afternoon and evening.
 Although the pool is not fre- quented as much during the early morning hours as later in the day, still almost all the steady plungers come in the forenoon. The mem- bers of Polls .Stock company are among those that have the fever and seldom fail to go out for a. dip i'll the morning. It is surprising the number of men that go to the park very early in the morning simply to go in bathing. But it is the after noon that the attendance reaches its highest point. At times already this summer there must have been fully 500 boys and young men in the pool at the same time.
 The water is much warmer than 1t was year ago and for this req son the swimmers are able to stand 1t much better Superintendent Walker and his assistants continue to take the best of care of it and 1t is flushed out often. The new lockers are all in use.
 The remainder of the park-is prov ing just as attractive as in past sum- mers and picnicing parties find 1t a very pleasant spot to spend the day. Indian basin at the entrance to the park is nearly completed and the fountain in the center of it makes a pretty effect. When the pond lilies bloom this little lake will be one of the prettiest spots in the park.
 Work on the new pavilion con Walker and considering the num- Der of men that has been employed surprising progress has been made

BODY WAS FOUND on TUESDAY
Had Probably Tried to Make Way in
Darkness and Fell Over
Log.

The body of Fred Kloeber, who has
been missing for eight days from the
Green River Hot Springs was found
early Tuesday afternoon in the Cas-
cades, about mile and half from the
spot where the body of julius Kumle,
his companion and chef at Green
River Hot Springs, was found.
The body was found lying across a
log in theunderbrush and from the
position 1t is thought that death was
caused by falling over the log and
breaking his neck. Weak from hun
ger and exposure 1t is thought that
Kloeber in a desperate effort to reach
the hotel travelled in the darkness
and fell over the log in the darkness,
his death. From the condition of the
body it is evident that death result
ed about a week ago.

Austrians Have Trouble.

A row among a gang of Austrians
who have been employed on the Tie
ton stirred up little excitement on
Front street Tuesday afternoon.
Five Of the Austrians had signed up
at a local employment office for
work in Spokane. but decided that
they would not leave until Thursday.
One of the Ave returned to the en-
ployment Office. and told the man be-
hind the desk that they had decided
not to take the job. and wanted their
money back. The clerk did this. and
Ii later developed that the Austrian
had no authority to get the money.
He went into a saloon and told the
other four that they had better not
modest him or there would be trou-
BILE. emphasizing his remarks by
waving revolver. The matter was
reported to the police. None OF the
Austrians could speak English well
enough to tell what their names
were. or the name of the man who
received the money They, however
% give. with the aid of an
interpreter. a fairly good description
of the man wanted. and the police
are working on the case.

guest of Count Zeppelin, who made
an ascension in his remodeled air
ship. Not only did the prince thor
oughly enjoy the trip but he sat at
the steering gear for many miles and
guided the movements of the craft,
compelling it to execute all kinds
of complicated maneuvers. The
princes satisfaction was unbounded
and he gave expression to 1t In tel
egram which he sent to the en-
peror:
"Under Zeppelin's guidance I felt
just as safe as on my own flagship"
With Zeppelin himself at the wheel,
the airship rose to an altitude OF 600
feet and moving rapidly against the
strong wind disappeared behind a
bank OF clouds. Soon messages be-
gan to arrive from towns in the
Rhine valley. announcing the passage
of the airship. About two In the af-
ternoon a sonorous sound from the
sky indicated the craft was return

thronged streets of Constance. where
the prince saluted in acknowledge

After maneuvering above Lake Con-
stance for some time. the airship
made its way toward the Swiss from
tier. disappearing in the direction OF
Tyrol. It returned to its moorings
about sunset.

tragic events in the history of the
state. From the time Of the disap-
pearance of the two men until the
final. chapter was written Tuesday af-
ternoon, the hills and mountains in
the neighborhood of the Hot Springs
have been secured by hunters, trained
woodsmen and friends and relatives
of the unfortunate men, and the re-
suits Of the days work was flashed to
the princi pal cities of the country.
The wife of Kloeber is Frustrated by
the accident. DR.. A. w. Burns of
this city was at the Hot Springs aid
ing in the search for the men. Kloeber
was we'll known in this city.
Further Information received dur
ing the night from Green River Hot
Springs details the finding of the
body of Kloeber. Bloodhounds, in
Guiding two leash dogs secured in
Spokane, were set on the trails from
the hotel during the morning.
At first an attempt was made to
start them from Kloeber's room, but
this failed. Then some Of his under
garments were taken by the men to
the spot where he had left Kumle,
the dogs were allowed to smell of
the spot where the body was found
and of the clothing. They immedi-
ately started in an opposite direction
from the hotel. and did not stop until
they had reached the body. Doubt
is expressed at the hotel as to the
searchers having ever found the body
