A MEMORY OF oLDEN TIMES

Spokane, Wash.-Days of the adj
vent of the first white woman into
the southeastern part of the Hand
Empire in 1886 are recalled by the
building of brick school house at
Spaulding, Idaho, within the shade
of a clump of spreading trees where
Rev. Henry Harmon Spaulding, fresh
from a New England seminary and
his young bride, labored with heroic
devotion among the Indians II years,
until.1847, the year of the Whitman
massacre. The Spaldings worked
among the Nez Perces In the Clear
water valley, while DR.. Marcus Whit
man and Mrs Whitman established
their mission, Waitilatpui, near what
is today the thriving city of Walla
Walla, Wash. The lives Of the Spald-
ings were In peril at the Lapwai mis-
sion during the outbreak, and the mis-
sionaries were conducted by armed
escort to the settlements in the Will
lamette valley In western Oregon.
There have been many changes and
great progress on all sides since these
memorable days, and 1t seems to be
fitting that a place of learning should
be erected near the grave of the mis-
sionary, who devoted his life to
Christianity, enlightment and peace
among the then savage Indians. \. "A

Adam and Eve were pioneers, they

company. (Applause. 1t makes no

in your community, because he at

no schools, and there could be no bus

these missionaries. And you see the
fruit of them speaking to you to-

these savages and told us the old,
old story. They didn't take any
rifle. They didn't take any cannon.
They went with their wives and with
the book in their hand telling them
of Jess Christ. And how 1t has trans
formed these Indians to worship God.
And now, II you visit Lewiston,
you 60 out to the Clear Water and
you will find these Indians located
there, and everybody there will treat
you about right. They are having

Then, you people have made these
Indians to become what they are. Let
this, then, bring a lesson to you,
present the brighter side and see the
Nez Perez Indians, who are taking
a rank in the Christian work. Let
us go there and see them today,
Christians, preaching the gospel Of
Christ there today, together with
white missionaries, seeking the pres
ence of God. That is what the gospel
has done. We have today six churches
In that one small reservation, and
every church has it's own native
preacher. We have Christian En-
deavor and Temperance societies. We

coming more savage by drinking it.

fail, for God is on the side of these

help.
This is. the result of their work
with the Indians every where you

they are going to be just like other
Indians. The Indians are sending

BLACKFooTs CELEBRATION

BlackfoOt was the only Town -
4 Idaho that got special trains for tne
4th OF July celebration, although
there were many applications, and
Blackfoot was favored by the weather
clerk in the greatest degree.
The attendance was all that was
expected for Saturday, and more than
was expected on Monday. Sundays
program went. through according to
plans, except that the Epworth
League trains did not stop as was
expected, and otherwise there was
no disappointment.
We are unable to say why the Ep-
worth Leaguers failed to reach us,
but word has come to us for some
time that the railroads were over
whelmed with traffic, and that the
conventions Of the Christian Endeav-
or and the Epworth League people
at Minneapolis and Seattle were book
ed for the same week this year, a
thing that has never happened be-
fore, and railroad officials notified
headquarters Of both organizations
that they had better discourage a
large attendance as it would be i'm
possible to handle them according
to the plans they were sending in.
That they would be short Of cars, and
they would have to handle large
part of their membership on regular
trains and just get them through as
best they could. The train from OF
tawa, canada went through via the
Canadian Pacific In the shortest time
possible, and of course did not come
here.
1t made no difference with our Sat
urday's celebration whether they
came or not, but the local public was
sorry not to have them here for Sum
day. The Republican regrets hav-
ing announced something that did not
come to pass according to expecta-
tions, but we are glad the celebra-
tion was given, and are pleased to
observe that nothing but fattering
repordts come to us from the news
papers up and down the line, and
from the country people who came in
to see III. We believe that those who
cared the least for 1t are those who
worked hard % pull it through, and
other home people who did little
or nothing to help 1t along or secret
Iy opposed it whenever they could.
1t was rumored beforehand that
Blackfoot could not feed the people
who would come nor find places for
them to sleep, but careful investi-
cations made at the time, showed
that they were well provided for. and
only few missed getting beds. Some
slept in the park, and practically all
OF them were good natured about it,
saying they had missed their trains,
or had gone broke on other things
than beds, and had no complaints to
make. Hundreds Of visitors are in
debted to the local people who took
them to their homes and entertained
them royalty, and missed the cele-
bration themselves.
1t Is a matter of congratulation
that no serious accidents happened
that the committees kept the expenses
within the appropriations, and that
the press generally from Salt Lake
to Boise gave Blackfoot and it's cele-
ubration an immense amount of favor

there was possibility of reaching an

that they desired a little more time.
Thornton Hams was brought into court

verdict was imminent. The big oak door
of the court room swung open and the
file of the jurors came into the court
and took their places in the box. The
foreman arose and informed Justice
Crane that verdict had been reached.
The clerk ordered the jury to stand and
asked the foreman what their verdict
was.
Not guilty" said Foreman Hill in a
loud voice.
Spectators cheered loudly and clapped
their hands the din being so great that
the blows of Justice Cranes gavel only
could be heard a few feet away.
Clear the court ROOM" cried Justice
Crane. Put every one out; clear out
the Railways and put everybody except
the press and lawyers out on the street.
Thornton Hams face was a study in
emotional change. From the haggard
look his features quickly frightened
into a. smile to the jurors and then
turning to Mr.. Shay, one of his counsel,
he shook him by the hand. Tears filled
his eyes and he drew his handkerchief
and wiped them away.
The court room cleared Justice Crane
discharged the defendant, who arose
and smilingly bowed to the judge and

This is the second time that Hams
has been acquitted of a murder charge.
In 1891, he was tried in Virginia for

Hannigan, Of Fortress Monroe, with
whom he quarreled while canoeing
That time he was acquitted on the
ground that he acted in self defense.

The defendant sat down when he
