At The Grand.

VIII Crooks the blackface comedi-
an in a bunch Of funny songs and
jokes that will keep the many patrons
Of the Grand in a jolly good humor
from the start of the performance till
the finish.
Another clever performer on the
bill is Eddy Reeves, the dancing won
der. When it comes to dancing he
is without doubt one Of the fastest
that has been in these parts. Origi-
nal in his steps as well as In demon
strating the dances, and steps that
won for him, in the Madison Square
Garden this fall the title of champion
dancer of America, he very forcibly
demonstrates also the difference be-
tween American and English hard
sole dancing, also makes one Of the
quickest changes in his wardrobe on
record, in all making the performance
at the Grand a first class program.
An exceptional good program of pic
lures are also to be seen. "Fantine"
is we'll known book written by Victor
Hugo in his Les Miserables. "Air
Ship Contest" at Rheims also attracts
great attention. Caught in his own
trap" is another picture with a good
motto to heed. Two more comedies
are presented in Looking for his UNI
brella," and mixed in his dinner
dates" An entire change of program
tomorrow.

THE EFFECT ON
VERSAILLES
How Local Option Affected
A Kentucky Town, as Told
. by Its Leading Paper.

The Woodford County Sun, pub
lished at Versailles, KY, makes the
following statement regarding the ef-
feet OF going dry on that town:
In the summer of 1906, when
the local option campaign was in pro-
gress, certain statements were made
and continually reiterated by those op-
posing a dry town Conspicuous
among these statements were the fol-
lowing:
THAT local option would kill the
town.
That grass would grow in the
streets.
THAT the property values would
depreciate.
That, deprived of the revenue
from saloons, Versailles would be
compelled to increase her tax rate to
a point where il would be a serious
burden.
HAS local option killed Ver-
sailles' Certainly not
So tar from depreclating under
local option, property here has ad-
vanced to point never before known.
Last spring the corner occupied
by B. B. Smith and Mrs. Granducc
changed hands at public sale at the
record-breaking price of SO, 900.
"On last court day the Miller blocl
was bid up to the big price of S18,.
600 at public sale, and then was taker
down because the owners represen.
tative thought she could get NOR.
money.
In June a public sale of residenc,
lots was held here which doubled tn.
total amount realized at the larges
previous public sale of lots in Yer
sailles, and where lots, considering
location and improvements, brough
the highest prices ever known.
AS to the tax rate: In 1905, th'
year prior to the local option victor,
the tax rate was IS cents. For thi
year it has been fixed at 81. 10. Thi
latter figure includes IS, Us to pa,
interest on waterworks and sewerag,
bonds, and to take up bond De
duct the amount raised for this pur
pose (not penny of which had Il
be raised in 1909 and the tax rate i
lower than in 1905 under whisl<,
less than IS cents on the one hun
dred dollars, if you leave out tn
waterworks.
"The fact is, that local option ha
saved Versailles from much financia
suffering.

The death of r. ]. Dearing, al
though expected for some time, came
nevertheless as shock to friends and
acquaintances. The affection which
caused his death was lingering case
of typhoid fever. The deceased had
suffered and struggled against the
progress of the disease for period of
more than FIVE weeks, and only a
splendid constitution and brave spirit
enabled him to endure until the
strength of the malady was exhausted.
The fever had practically abared and
death resulted from complications re-
sulting from insufficient vitality to re-
cuperate.
Mr.. Dearing was born July 7,
1873, in Columbia County, Wash
ington; was married to Eta Fuller.
March Is, 1906; died August 3lst,

Frank S. Pratt Just From the
East, in Fatal Accident
HIS DEATH WAS INSTANT
Was Driving Four-Horse Team
in Employ of VIM. Liske

At 4:30p. m. Monday this city
was shocked by the sudden and fright
full death of Frank S. Pratt, who was
driving four-horse team for VIM
Liske, living just northwest of town.
Pratt had come to town with a load
for Mr.. Liske, and while here had
drank heavily and laid in a supply be-
fore starting home.
AS he drove up main street it was
noticed that he had difficulty in keep
ing his seat. On reaching Idaho
avenue, he begun running his team
down the incline toward the depot,
and as he passed Charlie Nail house
he begun whipping the wheel horses.
AS he made the turn from the street
where the road takes detour out into
the commons the wagon careened first
one way and then the other, and he
was pitched forward on his head in
front of the wagon and both wheels
passed directly over his head, crushing
his skull like an egeshell and pressing
it entirely out of shape. Death came
SO sudden that he never knew what
occurred.
The accident was witnessed by
Charlie Nail and Joe Dysard, who
ran to the scene of the fatality, ready
to render assistance, but found only
the limp body of clay with life ex-
tinct; no earthly aid could avail
The body was taken to Bailor's
undertaking establishment, where it
was viewed by scores of horror stricken
people, many of whom remarked that
the terribleness of the accident was
accentuated by the condition of the
man at the time of his death-the
thought of the man being ushered into
the presence of his maker in a state
of absolute drunkenness, being hor-
rible to contemplate. A number of
citizens who voted at the recent cleo
ton to oust the saloons from this
community and county, expressed
themselves to the reporter as more de-
termined than ever to continue
to prosecute the good work of en-
forcing the law and as far as
possible removing the temptation from
the reach of just such men as the
victim of this tragedy.
Pratt was an old friend of Harry
Faulkner and family, and had arrived
here from Boston but few days ago.
He had been given employment by
Mr. Liske, he being an expert driver,
having handled six-horse teams in the
city of Boston for many years. He
was industrious and agreeable to get
along with, but was unfortunate in
the one thing. He was 43 years old
and leaves wife and daughter in
Boston, who were notified by Mr..
Faulkner by wire of the sad accident.
Deceased was arranging to have his
family come to this country in the
near future.
The team, after the accident ran
across the railroad track and into a
telegraph pole, where they became
tangled up and were caught without
other damage than the breaking OF
the wagon tongue and tearing up the
harness some.

Judge J. F. Ailshie Will Bring
Colleagues to Grangeville.
LONG CHERISHED IDEA
Crangeville Bar to Entertain the
Guests in Elaborate Style.

FOr many mOntnS JuOgc AllSnle
has been planning to bring his associ-
ates Of tn. Idaho Supreme Court to
his home town of Grangeville as his
guests and exploit to them the great
beauty and richness of this favored
section and have them sample the
good cheer and hospitality of its gen.
erous citizens and inhale its ozone
ladened atmosphere and drink freely
and deeply of its sparkling spring
water, unsurpassed on earth.
The Judge is great booster for
Idaho county; always has been and
probably always will be-" to use the
language of a local legal light, and it
was his plan TO do this on his own
hook, and thus, while strengthening
his own reputation for truth and YER
acity, by verifying the many almost
unbelievable stories he has told of this
country, he would at the same time
show the visiting gentlemen the time
of their life and make boosters out of
them also.
The members of the local bar liked
the Judges plan greatly, SO they stole
it from him, and Judge Ailshie will
now be an invited guest along with
the other distinguished members of
the supreme bench and will have no
more to say about the proceedings of
the occasion than they.
The plan as outlined Friday night
of last week in a secret conclave of
the local disciples of Blackstone, is to
have the distinguished guests and
their better halves come up from Lew
iston on Saturday night, the 1lth
proximo, at which time the supreme
court will be in session there, and re-
main over Sunday.
An elaborate banquet will be pre-
pared at the Imperial Hotel with 10O
or more plates, hrst-class orchestra
music and many invited guests from
the local citizenship will be in evi-
dence. On Sunday all of the auto
mobiles of the city will be pressed in
to service and the guests will be driven
over the country to view the incom-
parable scenery and matchless grain
fields for which Camas Prairie is
noted.
Attorney w. H. Casady is chair
man of the committee on arrange
ments and entertainment, and ar.
nounces that each member of the
local bar will be entitled to invite Z
certain number of guests to the ban
quet, which will be 81. so per couple.
Judge E. c. Steele, whose cour
will be in session at that time, will
assist in the entertainment of the visi-
tors. This will be one of the nota.
bic occasions, socially in the history
of Grangeville.
