DEATH OF A PIONEER
Bill Downs Found Dead on the
Floor of His Home.
Resided in Valley Twenty Years

William Downs, one of the pioneers
of this section, committed suicide on
Monday night at his home, about six
miles north of Newport, on the Pend
Oreille river. He took carbolic acid.
His dead body was found on the floor
OF his cabin about O'Clock on Tuesday
morning by liver Hansen, neighbor.
In his hand was a tin cup. On the floor
near the body some of the acid had been
spilled. The room smelled strongly of
the acid. There were no burns on the
dead's mans face, but it is certain that
he drank the poison.
In the cabin at the time that Hansen
discovered the body was man named
Shannon, a lumberjack who works for
Jack Quinn, at the latter's camp, mile
or so from Browns ranch. Shannon
and Downs had been to Newport on
Monday and had returned to the ranch
together. Both had been drinking
rather heavily.
Shannon stated that he had gone to
sleep in the BAN, that he had become
cold and had gone to the house to secure
more comfortable quarters. He found
Downs on the floor, but did not know
that he was dead until Hansen told
him. He got in the,bed and went to
sleep. The next thing that he knew
was when Hansen pounded on the door
OF the cabin. He called to Downs and
told him that some one was trying to
get in. AS Downs failed to answer he
arose and let Hansen in The latter
tried to arouse Downs and discovered
that he was dead. This was the first
intimation that Shannon had that his
companion was dead. He left soon
after, going to the logging camp.
Hansen placed the body on the bed
and then went to Hans Westby's ranch
and notified Jim Drummond, who lives
with Westby, the latter being absent in
Newport at the time. Hansen then
went to Newport and notified the an
thorities.
Justice Long and DR.. Phillips went t.
The ranch and made an examination al
the conditions, and had the body bropob,

"Lili' Downs, as he was Familiarity
known. has been resident Of this VI
cinity for about 20 years. He was about
SIS years old and unmarried. He had
lived on the ranch where he died most
of the time for about 10 years. The
place was known as Downs Landing
and was one of the best known landings
on the river. 1t was used by all Of the
settlers on the river.
Downs was one of the characters in
this neighborhood. He was one of the
most accommodating men in the county.
He was always ready to do neighbor a
good turn, regardless of the cost to him
self.
Ranchers living along the road to
Newport and the landing heard Downs
and Shannon as they returned on Mon
day night. From them it is known that
it must have been about 10 o'clock when
they arrived at the cabin. There is no
doubt about the death being a case Of
suicide and no suspicion attaches to
Shannon.
Parties who talked with the deceased
on Monday were surprised to learn Of
his death. as he appeared cheerful. He
had complained recently about his head
hurting him. Stated that he had been
injured by some rock falling on him
while working on a mineral claim and
also from being slugged about year
ago.
Robert Downs, brother of the dead
man, arrived from Rathdrum Tuesday
He investigated the death and thinks
that the death was accidental. He took
the body to Rathdrum for burial on
Wednesday.

TOWN BEAUTY AID.
Society In Each Block to Look After
Back Yard Reform.

Birmingham, Ala, which is already
distinguished for it's natural beauty
and for its beautiful homes and beau
tfful streets, is the starting place Of a
movement valuable to any town. Red
mountain is in itself a thing Of beauty,
and within the city limits are land
scape effects of rare charm. But 1t
the people will support Mayor Ward
in his movement for improving and
identifying all sections Of Birming-
ham the city will be made still more
attractive as a place Of residence. The
mayor desires the women to take the
actual lead in this matter and organize
societies for enhancing the appearance
of such blocks especially as have been
neglected.
Much has been done in an educa-
tional way to stimulate in the public a
taste for the beautiful, but in order to
give this work concrete form the may
or suggests that a society with "the
city beautiful'' in view be organized in
every block, says the Birmingham
Age-Herald.
Cleanliness and the disappearance of
ugliness should be first In mind. Aft
er the back yards as well as the front
yards are put in clean condition then
fences and sidewalks and trees and
grass plots should receive attention.
In the more elegant sections the
premises are kept in model condition
all the year round, and the lawns are
marvels Of beauty. With the organ
ization Of block societies all Birming-
ham could be brought easily in line
with 'the city beautiful" idea. Such
a movement would result at once In q
spirit Of emulation, and in carrying out
the proposed scheme the expense to
the individual would be next to moth
ing.

Dairy Rules.

The lesson is this, says dairyman:
Break away from old traditions and
customs; select a dairy breed that suits
you best and stay by. that breed; do
not change; grade up the best cows
that you have; test and discard the
poor and worthless cows; have stand
ard to line up to-; do not be afraid Of a
certain amount Of line breeding to fix
heredity; don't mix the breeds; depend
upon the sire and his breeding to adj
vance the merit of a herd; do not
change sires very often; breed for good
health; be thorough; feed for milk and
not beefmaking; be sanitary; be a
dairy student; don't get finicky, and the
dairy of the future will be the wonder
0f the world.

Raisinq the Colt by Hand.

It not infrequently happens that
colts are left motherleSs while yet
quite, young. Such colts are not an en-
tire failure. They can be reared by
hand and thrive quite well where the
proper care is given them. If the colt
has had even one or two feeds Of its
mothers milk it is well started, but
where it has had none it Is in a worse
shape. In such case the bowels should
should first be opened with a dose Of
castor oil, and short while after that
1t can get it's first feed To make a
substitute of it's mothers milk take
fresh cows milk, add to it one-fourth
water and sweeten somewhat with
sugar. This should be fed to the colt
at blood temperature four or five times
day. After the colt is a few weeks
to month old it can be fed little
oatmeal or other soft food Even be-
fore this time it will begin nibbling
soft grasses. Although the colt must
be started in very slowly on these
feeds, it will be found that they help

young man named Hahn. living at

had not married the girl he intended.
When he proposed to her he mistook
her for her twin sister, who so re-
sembles her that they can scarcely be
distinguished, and he did not realize
his error untn he began calling her by
her Christian name instead of by the
terms of endearment he had hitherto
used.

THE LOST DOLLAR.
Il Was Sent to Mail Order House
and Never Got Back Home.

IL was 0SnI 10 a WAL OTOST f1OuSo
|. and Never Got Back Home.
This is the sad story of the neighbor-
hood dollar that went astray and never
found its way home.
Ten years ago an Allen county (Kan.)
farmer put his Initials on dollar bill.
The next day he went to the nearest
town and spent it with a merchant
Before the year was out he got the
dollar back Four times in six years
the dollar came back to him for prod
uce, and three times he heard of it in
the pockets Of his neighbors.
The last time he got it back five
years ago. He sent it to mail order
house. He has never seen that dollar
since and never will. That dollar will
never pay any more school Or road tax
for him. will never build or brighten
any Of the homes Of the community.
He sent it entirely out Of the circle Of
usefulness to himself and neighbors.
How many dollars, how many mill
lions Of dollars, are going away from
home never to return every year?
Some statistician has estimated that
about $50. 0O0. 600 of them take French
leave Of their home communities annu-
ally by the mail order route. Every one
that departs from home in this way
takes dollars worth of prosperity out
of the community.
