GEO. E. BARKER DIES.
Friends of George Emery Ba,

frlends or George Emery Barber have been deeply grieved to hear of his death, which occurred in New York City on the fifteenth of this month. The cause of death is not mentioned in the letter which was re. ceived announcing the sad news.
 George Emery Barber was a resi- dent of Douglas for about five years and during that time occupied a re- sponsible position in the shipping de- partment of the Copper Queen store. In social life he was very promin- ent, his musical ability, which was of Q high order, making him still more so. This, and his splendid personality. made him popular with all and welcome everywhere that people gathered. He was organist for the Douglas lodge of Elks and was generally musical conductor for any amusement feature the order produced. He left Douglas about a year ago and during his absence has not been forgotten by his many Douglas friends.

 The Quinner machine, which was freighted over from Nogales is al most ready for work now and will begin seperating gold from the ce. ment like formation in the Quijotoa district by Monday. The men are en- thusiastic about their prospects in the Quijotoa district and expect to get out gold in quantities which will pay unusually well.

THEORY OF SUICIDE DOUBTED
 BY FRIENDS 0F DRAGOO

Another mystery which remains to be solved and which seems ipexplica, ble is why Dragoo was where the body was found. The point is fully a hundred miles from the place where he was planning to spend his vacation hunting. Not the slightest explanation of this strange circum- stance has been offered.
 It is further known that on the night when it is believed the shoot ing occurred Dragoo went to a res taurant in Hermanos, conducted by Mrs. Faulkner. some eight miles from the body was afterward found. It was about s o'clock when he ate supper at this restaurant and at that time he was accompanied by a young man who wore blue overalls and of whom Mrs. Faulkner can give a fair description, and these two ate to- gether, Dragoo paying for the meal. This is the last time he is known to have been seen alive. Further, the first man to find the body states that from appearances Dragoo had been sitting down when he was shot. He judges this from the posture of the body, but the position of the body is not of the importance in dis proving a suicide theory as is the To- cation of the fatal wound
 O. D. Graham states that Dragoo comes of family prominent in Tex as, whom he has known for many years. There is a brother who is a commissioner of Edwards county, Tom Dragoo. who has a large ranch in that county and the Dragoo family is a prosperous one.
 Word has been sent to the rela- tives of Dragoo in Texas and Fer guson will bring the body here to be cared for until directions are received as to its disposition. A full investi- gaton will probably be made by rela- lives and frineds of Dragoo. who be- lieve that he was murdered and scout the suicide idea.

NEW BAND LEApER

DOUGLAS. Sept 26.--(special)-
 The Douglas band is now in pro cess of reorganization and may be expected to make rapid progress and show great improvement under the new leader. who has come to in- struct them. and whose services have been retained.
 The Douglas band is fortunate in having obtained the services of so eminent a musician as Mir Heinrich Shultz, who has lately been in San Jose as an orchestra and band leader and an instructor of all string and brass instruments. MT. Shultz is an experienced and splendid musician For six years he was with Paddy Gilmore's famous New York band which at that time was considered the finest in the world. he played the violin in Thomas orchestra when that organization was at its best, and for ten years was with the Phil adelphia Symphony orchestra. He is a cornet and violin soloist of espec- ial merit.
 Never before has any musical or ganization had the opportunity in this city to study under so eminent a musician as Mir. Shultz and a great improvement may be expected to be shown under his leadership. lie is to open a musical studio in this city.

The UnreaIity of Opera.

There are people who still complain of the unreslity of opera who cannot subject themselves to it's illusion. And indeed the illusion of opera breaks down if everything in it is not kept at the same distance from reality. In that world of musical expression we must never be suddenly lowered by any incongruous detail into the ordi- nary world of prose.

DOUGLAS, Sept 2S.-(SpeciaD-
 The mystery of the body found near the tracks of the Southwestern railroad near Tommerlin has been partly solved since yesterday. It de velops that the body was that of Sam DEagoo, who had the agency of a number of out-of-town papers in this city. This is as was feared by friends yesterday when they heard the description of the attire of the dead man. This is as far as the solution has proceeded to the sat isfactton for those who knew Dragoo for the verdict of the corners jury is suicide, and it is not believed here that Dragoo took his life.
 According to the story brought to Douglas the body was found near the track and a revolver which is known to have belonged to him was found a few feet away. This seems all that there is to lead to the sui eide theory. On the other hand it is said that the wound which caused death was on the left of the head. It is said that Dragoo always threw papers with his right hand and in the absence of proof that he was left handed a wound on the left of the head would seem to point to any other theory than that. this wound was self inflicted
 Friends of Dragoo in this city. and he has been here about five years and made many friends, scout the idea of suicide. They point to the fact that there is no reason why he should have taken his life, thSt he was in good health, we'll and cheer ful on Sunday night when he was last seen at the station, that he was going on a hunting trip to which he was looking forward with evident pleasure and that all the evidence is against suicide, with the exception of the finding of his pistol. and that this he may have used while defend ing himself

 One of the pleasant events of the week was the evenings entertain ment given Friday night at the park by a few members of the younger set of our city. The affair was given for the benefit of the high school foot ball team, and a large crowd of young people were in attendance.

 Vocal Solo-Grover Davis.
 Piano Sola-Miss wolcott.
 Violin Solo with Piano accompani- ment-Miss Marshal and Miss Jose phine Clothier.
 Reading-Barbara Wohlgemuth.
 Lunch baskets containing all kinds of dainties were furnished by the girls, and to these baskets were at tached postcards containing the name of the donor. Uneven pieces were cut from the cards and sold to the young men who then set out in search of the cards from which their pieces were cut. Amid much merri- ment the cut cards were matched, and each young man, in company with the young lady whose lunch basket had fallen to his lot, found a comfortable spot and sat down to en- joy the contents of the basket.
 Friday evening the Rebekas of this city entertained in honor of the Eff ty-ninth anniversary of the order. A large number were present and a de lightful program was given. At the conclusion of the following program elegant refreshments were served:

The splendid reception given Cow

this last week. while that official was
making a tour of inspection of state
institutions and the scene Of the
water power controversy in Kootenai

words for the orphans at Lewiston,
as very gratifying to the general
public
The governor is making il a point
90 keep in close, personal touch with
|Sll1he departments of state. and we
doubt not he will bring back fine
reports Of the showing made by our
northern Idaho institutions. II is
characteristic of both Governor
Brady and Attorney General Nc
Dougal to give personal attention to
the petition of the people in Kootenai

the con1itios there, and the people
of northern Idaho are TO be con-
graduated upon the interest they are
displaying In the work of protecting
the orphans of the state.
lt is not amlss TO say that the peO-
pie Of northern Idaho are doing their
fun share toward the development
Of our great state 10 is extremely
unfortunate that the people are not
permitted to know more of the wond-
ers of that section at first hand The
future is bright, however, for closer

terests and relations in Idaho
CAPITAL is vieing in developing our
resources and providing better means

structed and proposed will make Il
easy for the people Of the north

their every day business North and
south Idaho have contributed equally
to our good government. and it is
difficult to give preference one over
another TO the men who have gone
down 10 the capital city to make and
administer our laws and conduct the
business OF state.
The people of southern Idaho are
naturally proud of the good record
of Governor Brady, and we believe it
as equally true of the people of north

His name has been a synonym Of
energy. good citizenship and success
with us. and we have realized the
sacrifice Of his own personal interests
