The Paine Centennial.

PHILADELPHIA.-We are but week off
from another birthday of Thomas Paine, and
next June it will be century since he died.
Mr.. j. p. Morgan has purchased General
Washington's sword, which was used by him
during the Revolutionary War to establish the
Declaration of independence, for which the
pamphlets of Thomas Paine prepared the way
This sword will be hung by the side of the
Key of the Bastile in the Home of Washing
ton, which key was presented by Thomas
Paine to the greatest General of the new world
and which Washington pointed to with pride
to the visitors at his home on Market Street,
in Philadelphia.
1t is the intention of the Paine Associations
to celebrate the centenary of Paines death
with appropriate services next June at New
Rochelle, and Blade readers who are unable
to be present on that occasion, can send to
DR.. Foote, New York, their names with 100
cent greenback, representing penny a year
for the benefits they have received from
Paine's writings. ! hope there will be liberal
response from those residing in the Louis
lana Territory. the purchase of which Paine
advocated in 1903, and which the Liberals
have enjoyed, and the Exposition at st. Louis
ignored his important services. Fraternally
yours--JAMES b. ELLIOTT.

Horace Seaver Those familiar with the pon-
Ger stage of Freethought, as best outlined in
the Investigator, cannot fail, however, to note
a great change that has taken place since that
time in advanced anti-regous thought. The
agnosticism which then almost universal
among doubters, has now given place to a pos
tive atheistic philosophy, which must, and
certainly will before the close of the twenti-
eth century, stand forth undsputed and I'M
challenged. Every effort should be made to
bring about speedily as possible this in
-eectual transformation and advancement

BIG AUTOMOBILE PLUNCES INTO
SKALKAHO.
YOUNG LADY FATALLY INJURED
Miraculous Escape of o. L. Beardsley and
Other Members of Party County May
be Liable for Heavy Damages.

While returning last night from a
fishing trip up the river o. L. Beard
sley and party of friends met with
frIghtful accident from which four of
the party miraculously escaped with
out serious injury and the fifth, Miss
Catherine Calk, now lies at the point
of death, having probably sustained
fatal internal and spinal injuries.
According to Mr.. Beardsley's state
ment, he was driving his new Kissel
Kar. His brother-in-law. Walter
Gregory, was seated by his side.
Three ladies, Mrs. G. r. Smith and
daughter Miss Louise Smith, who re-
side east of Corvallis, and Miss Cath
arine Calk, of Kentucky guest of
Mrs. Smith, were seated IN the
tonneau. The party, in happy mood,
was gliding along the lower Grants
dale road, about two miles south of
Hamilton and coming this way, when
suddenly the machine plunged down.

Is feet below the roadbed, upside
down with all it's occupants in the
water and underneath the machine.
Walter Gregory, who is young giant
in stature, somehow managed to
struggle free. Mr.. Beardsley also
succeeded in getting one arm free but
he was entaugled in wheel with his
head under water. Gregory extricated
him and the two men then managed
to lift up the rear end of the car,
which weighs 1900 pounds, and got
the ladies from under the machine and
out of the water. All were badly
shaken, and suffering from cuts and
bruises and the shock, but it was soon

JURORS EXCUS.

The calender in district court was

Cused and the court dismissed for the

Monday, where he is confronted by a
lengthy docket.
In the condemnation proceedings
instituted by the B. r. V. l. Co.
against Clara NJ. Cameron the jury
gave the defendant d verdict for do m
ages in the sum of $1,000, just S75
more than had been awarded by the
appraisers.
The suit for damages brought by B.
F. Julian against Allen Forkuer and
others was tried by jury before
Judge ]. Miller Smith of Helena,
Judges Myers and Webster having
been disqualified by the defendant.

found that Miss Calk was most seri-
ously injured and the other members
of the party did what they could to
relieve her. Three men in a buggy
happened along and Miss Calk was
Immediately taken to the Ravalli hotel
where she was attended by DR.. Cas-
serly. The others started to walk to
town but were met by carriages. All
are confined to their rooms today but
are making satisfactory progress ex-
cepting Miss Calk, who is in pre-
carious condition. She is about 20
years of age and should she live will
be crippled for life.
1t appears that the lower Grantsdale
bridge has been dismantled for two
months and users of this road have
made a slight detour around the
bridge, from which the plank had
been removed, and forded the creek.
Mr.. Beardsley says no obstruction
barred the way, no light or guard of
any kind; that the approach to the dis
mantled bridge was smooth and open
and he was driving the machine along
at a slow speed without the slightest
apprehension when it plunged into the
creek.
Attorney r. A. O'Hara has been
retained and in company with Photog
rapher Winther visited the scene of
the accident this morning to secure
evidence of neglect on the part of the
county. Actions for heavy damages
will be instituted at once against the
county by the injured parties.
