CAUGHT BY HAND
UNDER TRAP DOOR
FARGO WOMAN HANGS sUs-
PENDED FOR TEN MINUTES
EXPERIENCE SIMILAR TO THE
TORTURE IN DAYS OF OLD
HAND BADLY CRUSHED.

Left suspended with one hand
fastened under cellar doorway for
as long as ten minutes was the ex-
perience of Mrs. c. L. Riley at her
home on First avenue south.
Mrs. Riley was in the act of going
down into the cellar, the entrance in
to which is through a trap door When
the door in the kitchen or pantry is
partially open it affords a dead lock
for the cellar trap door. Just as Mrs.
Riley had descended a stair or two in
the cellar entrance she felt the trap
door falling and she at once raised her
hand which was caught across the
back under the cellar door and at the
same time the kitchen door swung
across and completely locked the trap
door,
She was suspended by one hand, but
after a short time managed to get her
feet on the cellar stairs. She screamed
for help. Her little daughter had been
sent to the grocery store near by and
on her way back she heard the screams
of help, help" but thought it was at
a neighbours house and ran there. Then
the neighbor came out and the two
located the trouble.
Mrs. Riley was extricated from her
very unpleasant position with ter
ribly crushed hand which DR.. Kaess
dressed While no bones were broken
they were badly bruised and Mrs
Riley is wearing her hand and arm in
bandages. She said it was most un-
pleasant experience. She was in the
position at least ten minutes.

CONGRESS
PRESIDENT MAY SEND SPECIAL
MESSAGE in FEW DAYS URG-

in forceful language, may be sent by
President Taft within a few days I'M
less the congressman get busy on the
legislative program as outlined by the
executive at the beginning of the

Congress has been in session for
eleven weeks, and it is intimated that

because his program of legislation is
practically untouched.

Arizona-New Mexico statehood meas

the postal bank bill, and Senator Bor-
ah, who has been entrusted with a
number of Taft measures, were sum-

Electra Has Wonderful Act.

Electra's scientific act at the We
natchee theatre this week is attract
ing a great deal of interest 1t is
lacking in the comedy features that
the theatre goers are accustomed to
and consequently is not drawing the
houses that the song and skate art
lists get, but the act is one of great
interest and as every opportunity is
given for investigation to those who
that any taking is benig done. The
act embraces number of sensation
al features, chief of which is the
electric chair that is a copy of the
one used at Sing Sing, and while
Electra sits in it his body is SO
charged with electricity at a high
voltage that his assistant draws
sparks from any part he touches. A
cotton rag is ignited from the sparks
coming from Electra's body and he
lights a cigar from sparks drawn
from a rod held by the assistant.
Electrical experts are invited to
go on the stage during the perform
ance and are given every opportunity
to seek for fraud. New York papers
recently gave Electra great deal of
notice.

INJURED IN TRAIN
WRECK
o. F. STEWART, WELL KNOWN IN
THIS CITY, RECEIVED SERIOUS
INJURY LAST WEEK NEAR
GREAT FALLS.

Word has reached this city of a
serious accident which befell Oscar F.
Stewart, formerly well known resi-
dent of this valley but who several
years ago sold out and with his fam
lily moved to Colville. Mr.. Stewart
is a son-in-law of Mr.. and Mrs. VIM.
Mills, of this city. Stewart, accom-
panied by B. M. Harvey, also a for
mer resident of this city, and his son,
Artie Stewart, were in Montana look
ing up a site for a new home, AMI
near Great Falls the passenger train
was wrecked, resulting in Mr.. Stew
art being badly injured. Just the
nature of the injuries cannot be
learned. Mrs Mills had letter this
morning stating that he was in a
Great Falls hospital, and is getting
along nicely, though it is feared that
he may be permanently crippled as
a result of injuries to his legs.
The accident happened on Febru-
AIRY s, but the family were not ap-
prised of the accident until last Fri
day. Mrs. Stewart and other MEM
bers of the family are in Colville.
Neither Mr.. Harvey nor the son
were injured in any way and they
are with Mr.. Stewart in Great Falls.
The wreck was quite a serious one,
though happily there were no deaths
as a result.

FEARED
HOUSES IN LOW LYING SUBURBS
ABANDONED - PREDICT WA
TER WILL RISE NEARLY TO
RECENT MAXIMUM.

Paris, Feb. 1.-THE River Seine
is rising again today and the flood
situation is assuming an alarming
aspect. Houses at Alfortsville and
in other low lying suburbs of the
capital are being abandoned by their
inhabitants who are moving to high
er ground.
General rains throughout the coun-
try and melting snow at the head
waters of the Seine and Marine are
responsible for the serious condition
confronting the city. A further rise
of four or five feet is predicted and
today the Seine at the Pont De Aus
terlitz measured a depth of nineteen
feet five inches.
The hydrometric bureau announced
today that the indications are for a
general rise for the next two days
and that it is possible the river may
go to "a feet, which is within four
feet of the recent maximum when
flood conditions prevailed.
Following their custom at the re-
cent flood, hundreds of poor families
from the suburbs are flocking into
the city. They bring tales of dam
age and disaster such as preceded the
great food of a fortnight ago. Ow-
ing to the difficulty experienced by
civil engineers in repairing the le-
wees and embankments and in max
ing secure the foundations OF build
ings along the waterfront, hundreds
of factories have remained closed for
a prolonged period and business is
at a standstill.
The present rise of the waters is
seriously hampering the work of gov
eminent engineers who have been
rushing the repairs to dykes and le-
wees in and about Paris.

handicap. Snow drifts and falling
barometer prevailed all through the

the storm struck this section of the
country last night and light fall of

general comment upon the Hayes bill
in the American congress.
''The question of the naturaliza-

one of the most important matters

cit is time for this country to
begin negotiations with the better
class of Americans looking toward
the legalization of Japanese natural
ization.
Naturalization will be the perma-
nent solution of the problem. The
japanese in America should become
American citizens. Such attacks as
that made upon the Japanese in the
Hayes bill are becoming wearisome.
They are inspired only by the lower
element in America. 1t is time for
Japan to act

DOES MANS WORK
IN MINE
HER HUSBAND AN INVALID, MRS.
ANNA PRICE HOLDS QUARTZ
CLAIM in THE HILLS-LABORS
DURING WINTER.

Ellensburg, Feb. 17.-Rather than
lose her rights in mining claim that
her husband had discovered and un-
able to hire men to do the necessary
work, Mrs. Anna Price, of Swauk, la
bored all winter at assessment work
on her quartz claims on Williams
creek. In addition to her mining
work, Mrs. Price, until a short time
ago, nursed her sick husband until
his death, and cultivated and har-
vested crops on her mountain ranch
Mrs. Price was a dressmaker in
North Yakima. A short time ago
with her husband she moved into the
Swauk district, on account of her
husbands health. Soon after the ar
rival in the hills the man gave out
under the pressure of the arduous
work demanded of him and Mrs.
Price faced the alternative of losing
the little property the two had ac-
CURED or taking her husbands place.
With the man helplessly bed-ridden
she assumed the task of drilling,
blasting and mucking out her mine
and in the intervals when she was
not attending to the comfort of the
invalid she tended to the ranch and
did the household chores. Price died
last week but the wife, befort attend
ing to lighter duties, will complete
her assessment work so that the prop
erty may be held another year.

HONOLULU
MAN VERY MUCH
PLEASED WITH TRIP TO IN
SULAR POSSESSIONS OF THE
UNITED STATES.

E. "A. Wyman, who on December
26, in company with C. N. Deniston,
left here for a trip to the Hawaiian
Islands, returned last night. They
sailed from Vancouver, B. c., on an
English boat bound for Australia.
Most of the time was spent in Homo
lulu, the capital of the islands, though
many trips were made to the neigh
boring islands. Honolulu is city
of about $4,000 and is pretty thor
oughly Americanized. Messrs Wy
man and Deniston made a trip to Kill
eau, an active volcano on the island
of Hawaii. This is considered one
Of the sights of the world and it is
the most active volcano now in ex-
istence Trips were also made to a
number of the large sugar plantations
most of which are under control of
Spreckles. Besides the sugar indus
try, pineapple growing is carried on
more extensively there than in any
other section of the world, and a visit
was made to number of the planta-
lions and canneries.
Tropical fruit of all descriptions
grow very luxuriantly in the islands,
and both men were very much in love
with the country. Mr.. Deniston did
not return with Mr. Wyman but ex-
poets to sail on February "A by San
Francisco.
Mr.. Wyman reports very pleas
ant passage both ways and was on
the boat seven and half days from
Vancouver, a distance of about $500
miles from Vancouver to Honolulu.
The islands are very popular with
tourists and they are destined to be-
come great winter resorts.
The fare from Vancouver, first class
is about $65.
A great deal of interest has been
awakened in this country as q result
of the Hawaiian exhibit at the Seat
tie exposition. One of the most COM
plete exhibits at the big fair was that
from Hawaii.
The nation as a whole is musical,
and many people from this section re-
member with pleasure the Hawaiian
chorus at the fair. Mr.. Wyman states
that Honolulu is city of many parks
and a native band with 80 pieces rem
der music in one of these parks
three times week. The climate
there is very equable, varying but lit
tie the year around.
While Mr.. Wyman enjoyed the trip
to the islands he is very glad to get
back to Wenatchee. He mentioned
the fact that while in Honolulu he
found Wenatchee valley apples on
sale on the fruit stands in competi-
ton with the native oranges, pine
apples, mangoes, bananas and cocoa
nuts. Hilo is the end of the steam
boat trip and from there there is a
20 mile railroad ride to the volcano,
and at the end of the route Mr.. Wy
man states that he saw a flaring ad-
vertisement of the Wenatchee Mill
ing company, advertising Peach Bios
som -four. 1t seemed very natural to
him to see the advertisement and also
to eat Wenatchee apples in Honolulu.

WELT LION Of
FRANCE
PARIS WANTS A CHANCE, BUT
AMERICAN MAY CHOOSE A
SIMPLER GREETING - WANTS
NO GREAT DISPLAY.

Paris, Feb. I'm. Lizard, vice rec
tor OF the University of Paris, has
been officially advised that Theodore
Roosevelt will reach Paris about April
IA AMI that the length of his stay
probably will not exceed three or
four days.
The French government is anxious
to receive the former president of the
United States with the highest hon.
ors. French society is prepared to
lionize him; literary and scientific
bodies desire to entertain him, and
the American colony would like to
give a grand banquet in his honor.
But Mr.. Roosevelt has discreetly al
lowed it to be understood that he de-
sires to avoid any appearance of os-
tentation ana that he will preserve,
so far as possible, merely the role of
man of learning, in which capacity
he accepted the invitation to lecture
at Sarbonne. This invitation was ex-
tended through Ambassador Jusser-
and when Mr.. Roosevelt still occupied
the White House.
No Spectacular Features.
Mr.. Roosevelt's visit to Paris will
be devoid of spectacular features that
characterized ex-President Grants

the world Mr. Roosevelt's wishes
will be carried out in the main, but
the government declines to forego the
honor of entertaining, and the ex-
president has accepted the invitation

April 16 Mr. Roosevelt will be re-
ceived in solemn audience by the in
stitute, of which he is member in
virtue of his recent election as an as
sociate of the Academy of Political
and Moral Science.
