LIGHTNING STRIKES FAITH
National Monument to Forefathers
at Plymouth Badly Damaged
BY Bolt.

Plymouth Mass.-The national me-
mortal to the forefathers on Monu-
ment Hill was struck by lightning
and badly damaged. Several large
stones at the waist of the heroic fig
ure of Faith, which is the central one
of the group, are displaced.
A granite tablet inscribed with the
names of the Pilgrims who came
over on the Mayfower was blackened
by the lightning. 1t is thought that
the giant figure of Faith will have to
be taken down and repaired at great
expense.

Survivor Of Arctic Tragedy Of 1902
Returns to Tell the Story
Of Wreck.

Tacoma, ) Wash.-Nine years ago
heXt October the steamship Discovery,
bound from Nome, Alaska, for Puget
Sound, was lost off the Southern Alas
ka coast. About seventy persons, in
Guiding a dozen residents of Port
Townsend, Wash, persisted.
Until yesterday the manner of the
Discovery's loss remained a mystery.
1t was supposed she foundered in a
storm off Yakuta. The only clew was
the one life preserver on the shore of
'Kokdiak island. Now comes Capt. e.
G. Weaver, rs years old, and proves
that he is the sole survivor of the
Discovery.
Weaver says the Discovery wealth
cred q storm off Yakuta and reached
the icy strait near Juneau, where. du-
ring a heavy snow storm, she struck
an iceberg and sank in five minutes.
Weaver's escape resulted from his
previous misfortune of losing one
hand. With a steel hook permanently
fastened to his wrist, he drew him
self upon the floating iceberg. The
next day Indians picked him up and
took him to their camp. While on
the iceberg he quenched his thirst by
breaking off pieces of ice with same
steel hook. The exposure caused par
tial paralysis. For ten months the
natives cared for him. He then went
into the mountains prospecting. Eigh-
teen months later he came back to
Puget Sound and Eastern Washing
ton.
His silence regarding the Discov-
ery's loss was broken only after the
British steamship Ikelis last week
struck and wrecked his fishing boat

Sixteen Delegates Meeting
Mention Hearty

Saturday was big day with Idaho
county democrats, that being the date
of the meeting of the central COM
mittee of that party. Through the neg
ligence of some of those who were to
look after the sending out of notifi-
cations to the members the call had not
been given the publicity it should have
had; nevertheless there was an excel
lent attendance, members from Koos
kia, Winona, Clearwater and the re-
mote sections of the county making
the trip. 1t was a real, old-fashioncd
democratic meeting, where the greatest
of harmony and enthusiasm prevailed,
the members Of the party being salts
fled with allowing the republicans to
put on the fight this year.
The meeting was called to order at
two by Vice Chairman Brown and l..
A. Wisener was elected secretary. The
minutes of the preceding meeting were
read and ordered approved and roll

Committee responded to.
The matter Of holding a county con-
vention at later date was discussed
and it seemed to be the opinion of all
members present that the proper meth
cd was to select the delegates at this
meeting and not call a convention be-
cause of the bad weather and lateness
of the spring would make it all bat
impossible for a man to lay aside his
belated spring work and make another
trip to convention, especially when
the party was so thoroughly agreed
upon the choice of the presidential nom-
inee.
j. B. Leeper, of the Clearwater
country, offered resolution providing
for the naming of the delegates to
Couer d'Alene by the committee, with
the assistance of the other members
of the party present at the meeting
which went through without a dissent
ing vote.
| 1t was decided for the mass meeting
to elect twelve delegates and the re-
mainder be named by the chairman
who was also instructed to fill any va
cancies, it being the consensus of opin
ion of those at the meeting that Idaho
county should be represented by full
delegation at the state convention.

Was a Fine Production

1t has been a long, long time since
a Grangeville audience has had the
pleasure of witnessing as worthy and
high class production as the one II
on Saturday night at the opera house.
The piece, "The Squaw Man, was
well acted from the first scene to the
ringing down of the curtain at the con
clusion of the last act and so far above
the ordinary play this city is in the
habit of securing that the praise given
the company upon its acting, as well
as congratulations being rendered Man
ager Amber, should bring returns in
the way of fewer shows and high class
ones. The people should understand
that it takes money to bring good com
panies here and that the manager of
the opera house is willing to do his
part at all times. A first-class com
panv, such as the one here Saturday
night, is entitled to the best support,
and it is worth one g while to attend
such performance, and on the other
hand these go-by-night transformers
should not receive sufficient patronage
to take their baggage out of hook. We
can truthfully say Saturday night will
be a date long remembered by those OF
Grangeville who enjoy something high
class and real acting.

ter the temporary organization is af-
fected, when an adjournment will be
taken till the next morning. On the
morning Of the second day the del
egates will be taken on lake ex.
cnrsion on the steamer Idaho. 1t is
more than probable that the business
of the convention will be transacted
on the boat Bring the excursion. At
ter returning the delegates will be Civ
en- tiektfto the races at Alan. The
baAquet, the lake excursion and the
thkets to the races will be free to all
