PATIENT
ESCAPES
Waiter French, Spotted
Fever Victim, Leaves
Hospital at Boise.

Walter French. spotted fever victim
who was confined in Boise hospital,
took his leave from that institution Fii-
day night while in a deIlrium. His
nurse had gone into another room to
get i'm some mix when he made bis
escape. No trace Of him has been found
and SO far as is known, 10 person has
seen him since his escape. The police
have no theory on the case, except that
he has wandered into the mountains
The doctors at the hospital bold out
no hopes that the man is now living.
French was in a very weak condition
when he left the hospital, and it is said
that the time has elapsed during which
a man in that condition might live with
out medical assistance. 1t is thought
that he crawIed for shelter into some
prospect tunnel or obscure gulch and
there breatned his last.

the Press.

limited Press Leased Wire Service
NEW YORK, Sept 14.-Preaching
sermon on newspapers, and news
papermen, the Rev. Christian Reis-
ner, D. d., pastor of Grace Methodist
Episcopal church, tomorrow will say:
mo man can adequately picture
the power of the press of today. 1t
gives the history of the world up to
the minute. Every one reads the
newspapers. If they cannot decipher
the words, they may draw fairly ac-
curate conclusions from the pictures.
The old day of political party rule
under the bosses lash has been ban
ished by the newspaperc, published
light. Facts could not be any longer
hidden from the people. The indepen
dent newspaper watches everyone for
crookedness and makes 1t public. The
political sheet keeps a strict watch
on it's opponents deeds and it will be
very hard for any crookedness to es
cape such surveillance.
THE merchant Is whipped into
modern business methods and goods
by the newspapers. In New York the
loan sharks were put out of business
by a newspaper, and out In Missouri
there was poor stable boy, defraud
4 ed out of damages by wealthy rail
road whose officers had influence will
the judges as high as the supreme
court. The newspapers unearthed th'
boy and his trouble and published
the story. Then things happened" !"
