DEATH OF JESSE JONES.

Jesse Jones, the young man who was
brought in from the WinOha country
the last of the week suffering from a
strange malady which the doctors were
at first at loss to diagnose, died Mon
day. The ailment first attacked the
young man about the head; he lost the
power of speech and seemed unable to
recognize persons who waited upon him.
Later the case proved to be one of
paralysis, the trouble asserting itself
in his left hand and arm. He was
about "a years of age and had no re-
latives in this country. Through the
assistance of Oscar Hamlin, of Cot
tonwood, who was acquainted with the
young man in Missouri, Jones' relatives
were located at the town of California,
Missouri, and an aunt of the deceased
at that place requested that the re-
mains be shipped to her at once. Sheriff
Eimers, with other county authorities,
has been looking after the case.

HE SIGNED A CHECK.

There's story going the rounds this
week to the effect that well known
resident Of the prairie fell victim to
q couple of bunko artists in the city
recently and might have lost several
hundred dollars had the scheme been
carried through. The unsuspecting resi-
dent met up with the pair of affable
mixers who at the proper moment sug-
gested that he write his name upon a
slip of paper SO that they would know
him the next time they met. The re-
quest was complied with and later the
signature was found to be attached to a
check for a good sized amount. How
ever, payment on the check was avoid
ed, through the activities Of other pre-
sons who became aware of the deal be-
fore its final consummation.

Last week the Rawson- Works Lumber
Company started up their mills across
the river on the initial run. The ma
chinery measured up to the require
ments. The mills have been under con-
struction since early in the year. The
plant is equipped with the latest ma
chinery. At present the capacity is
about 100000 every ten hours, but this
will be increased when live rollers are
installed which will facilitate the handl-
ing of lumber. About 100000 feet of
pine and fir lumber is now in the yards
ready for the planers. The dry shed
is substantially constructed and will
hold about 100000 feet of lumber.
The trackage is also conveniently laid
and the loading into cars will not be
hampered by bad weather conditions

reflection upon the public spirit and

The manufacturer of large quantities of

great boon to the city and the sur

substantial profit to the owners.
M. Stuckey says that the flour mills

WILL PRESENT PLAY.
The Friars Announce Virginia Rose
for Thanksgiving Week.

The Friars, the dramatic and musical
club recently organized in the city, an
nounce a stellar production of "Virgi.
mia Rose delightful play of the
South, at the |. 0. O. F. hall during
Thanksgiving week as the club s initial
offering.
According to the members of the
club who have read the manuscript of
the play Virginia Rose'' is the best
piece ever attempted by strictly local
talent organization. 1t is said to be
far and away above anything ever stag
ed by the home thespians; a play that
will tax the talent of the members of
the east to the last notch and play
that is certain to please the local thea
tergoers who have come to be connois-
seurs with most fastidious tastes. The
parts in the piece have been assigned
and rehearsals are to begin immediately.
Walter Bunnell will direct the produe-
ton, and the construction and arrange.
ment of the special scenery required for
the play>will be handled by Ivor Higgs.
The piece will be given thoroughly
metropolitan production and The Friars
expect to make reputation by this
presentation that will endure as long as
the club itself. Mr.. Bunnell will be
seen in the role of an American bust
ness man who mixes in politics and
business through INSCRIPTIONS methods
in a manner that. makes the part one of
the leading characters Of the play. The
role is not a william particularly,
but it gives Mr.. Bunnell an opportunity
to appear in that sort of dramatic work
best suited to his talents and his admir-
ers will see him at his best. Miss Ruth
Branscombe has the title role of 'eVir.
ginia Rose" very pretty and import
ant part and Miss LaMona Richmond,
whose fine work in past productions is
a pleasant memory, also has a splendid
role.
What adds interest to the forthcOm.
ing production is the fact that Mrs.
Adah Losh Rose, who has decided to
reside in Grangeville permanently, has
joined The Friars and will appear in
an impressive role in Virginia Rose. +"
The principal comedy part in the piece
has been given to Ivor Higgs, while ore
OF the heaviest and most prominent
parts will be carried by c. A. Parsons.
Here are two local players too well
known in Grangeviiie to need further
introduction. Other characters in the
play will be carried by Eli Ingram,
Harold Harris and z. b. Parsons. The
exact date of the production will be
announced soon.

More democratic victories and more

states-New Jersey, Massachusetts and
Virginia--where gubernatorial elections
were held the democrats were successful
10y large pluralities; and in MARYLAND
the democrats elected United States
senator and congressman, and late re-
turns indicate democratic gain with a
probability Of two-thirds majority in
both houses In the state legislature.
The four-cornered fight in Massa-
chusetts resulted in the election of
David l. Walsh, democrat and present
lieutenant governor by plurality of
$4,000 votes over Chas. s. Bird, pro-
gressive; A. P. Gardner, republican and
r. N. Foss, independent, who was three
times. elected to the office as a demo-
crat.
John Purroy Mitchell, Wilson ap-
pointee as collector of the port who
=
gave up that position to campaign for
the mayorship of New York City, was
elected on Fusion ticket. Tammany
went down to defeat by one of the larg-
est pluralities ever recorded against its
candidates.
William Sulzer, impeached governor
of New York, came back as a candidate
for the state assembly and won handily
on the progressive ticket.
Throughout the elections the voters
expressed by their ballots a general ap.
proval of President Wilson and the
policies followed by the Democratic
party since assuming the task of run
ming the government.

koosx1A GETS BOAT SERVICE.

The boat which is going to ply the
waters of the middle fork of the Clear.
water arrived the first of the week
from Occur d'Alene and was launched
Thursday afternoon in the south fork
near the bridge. Owing to the shallow
ness Of the water in this stream some
difficulty was encountered in getting

reached deep water it worked like a
charm! The people of Kooskia are
deeply: interested in this latest enter

watched the progress Of affairs from
the time the boat arrived here until it
reached deep water. So far everything
looks favorable for the successful navi.

Forks, Ed. Ehrler, who has charge of
the boat, is sanguine that he can make

work in a stream of this kind, and has
worked successfully for some time on
