THE ANNUAL PICNIC.

On last Friday the Methodist Sun
day School held its annual picnic in
Bower & Hunters grove, about three
and one-half miles north Of town.
Superintendent carp was the NOV.
ing spirit, and to his management,
is largely due the splendid success
OF the affair, and the especially
good time enjoyed by all.
About 10 O'Clock, the people were
taken from the church in Autos,
hay-i acks and buggies. On the
grounds in the shade of the large
trees and III the sunny places were
games and sports for all. The pic
mic dinner was spIead On the
srass anG when 81! were seated It
was found that there were almost
$50 present There never was a
better dinner than the one which
the ladies' had prepared for this oc-
casion.
One of the delightful things about
the picnic was the splendide and
harmonious cooperation of all the
committees and helpers in making
IL a success. Surely they have the
thanks Of all, and If all should
speak they would undoubtedly say,
make the picnic semi-annual or
quarterly.

CHILD DROWNED
IN PAYETTE DITCH
DEAD BODY OF LITTLE THEO-
DORE OSTER FOUND IN IRRi-
CATION DITCH AFTER ALL
NIGHT SEARCH.

The dead body of little Theodore
Oster, the siI-year old son OF BIZ.
and Mrs. Wilhelm Oster, was found
in the Lower Payette Ditch, about
nine O'Clock Monday morning, at
point near the Crystal school house,
after the parents and neighbors had
put in the entire night hunting for
the child.
The little boy was first missed by
the Oster family, who reside about
four miles north of Payette, little
after six O'Clock Sunady evening.
Search was Immediately instituted
by the parents, who were shortly
after joined by number of their
neighbors. every effort being put
forth to find the lost child. Soon
after the alarm had been given the
water was turned out OF the canal
and while one party was making
careful search along its banks others
were bunting through the neighbor
hood orchards and the sagebrush
along the nearby foothills. hoping
to find OF get some trace OF the
missing child.
1t was not until nine O'Clock Mon
day morning that the dead body of
the little boy was found, in the bed
of the canal, about three miles be-
low the Oster home, where It had
evidently lodged when the water
was turned out Of the canal From
certain marks on the body it is
probable that the little fellow fell
into the canal some distance away
from where the body was found and
that it was swept along by the
swift current, coming in contact
with more than one of the big irri-
eating wheels along the stream.
The funeral took place from the
German Lutheran Church IN this
city at IL O'Clock Tuesday forenoon,
being largely attended by the sym
neighbors and friends of
the bereaved family.

Mr.. Ralph Fascilla, formerly solo
cornetist with the celebrated Feru-

member of the Payette Band and will
make this city his permanent resi-
dence. 1t is gratifying to know that
under the leadership of Mr.. J. H.

the stage of an amateur organization
and has come to be recognized as an
organization of professional musi-

receive too much encouragement at
the hands of our citizens.

CHAUTAUQUA
ARRANGEMENTS
PRACTICALLY COMPLETED ALL
PLEDGES BEING PROMPTLY
FuLFILLEp-EvERYeoDY WILL
BE MADE WELCOME.

With tomorrow ~ enter upon
Chautauqua wee fhe first time in
the history of this cixH surround
ing4.communities thai such thing
has been nhdertaken. For this rea'
son it behooves every citizen 10
be up and doing, to lend every en-
couragement and put forth every
effort to make the occasion a sue
cess in every particular. It is not
enough to have been ready and will
ing to back up the movement WIN
pledges of time and money, which
promises are happily being fulflll-
ed in a manner at once highly salts
factory to all concerned. 1t is not
enough to have made excursions 10
neighboring towns and communities
with invitations TO them to attend
and enjoy with our people the
feast of good things to be served
for our social enjoyment and ment-
al Improvement. We must see that
when they come they are made TO
feel that they are welcome, that
they are not only patrons but a
part of the great Chautauqua move
ment now being initiated here, and
that is very probably going to be-
come a thing of annual recurrence.
The Chautauqua spirit is essential
to Chautauqua success. The splen-
did work that has been thcs far
done by the various committees en-
listed in the work certainly shows
no lack Of that spirit. Hence the
outlook for most successful and
satisfactory meeting could not teI
more promising than it is on this
eve OF the opening day.
The Chautauqua is probably OF
greater value to the young people
than to their parents. The parents
enjoy it fully but the young people
retain the educating and uplifting
influence to greater degree than
we who have become more fixed in
our intellectual habits. For this
reason the people of high school
and grammar school age should
make special efforts to absorb the
pleasures and benefits of the assem-
bly,. Think Of the possibility OF
hearing Ciricillo's great band for
the price of a picture show. With a
season ticket these splendid enter
tainments cost only dime each on
the average.
Where is the high school student
who would not do without an ice
cream soda in order to hear such
a lecturer as Col. Geo. w. Balm,
Roland A. Nichols, or Newell Dwight
Hillis7
Do not miss a number OF the splen !
did program. The beautiful shady |
high school park has been secured
for Chautauqua grounds. 1t is just

State of Idaho, with it's comfortable |
restrooms, reading rooms, gymnas-
ium and other conveniences, and |
only a BLK from the business GEN.
ter of thereity. It is an ideal spot in
which to hold the assembly sessions. |
Such pleasant surroundings will GER
tainly have tendency to add to
the enjoyment of all who may attend |

ASKS POLICE TO SEARCH FOR HER
 MISSING CHILD
Daughter of Mrs. Walther Disappears From Resi-
 dence on John St.
MYSTERIOUS TRUNK
 CAUSES MUCH TALK
Property of Woman Fugi- tive From Kidnappers Ob-
 ject of Speculation.

The strange episode among a still stranger seapuence of tales that have recently been related to the police is on record today with Captain of de- tectives George Arnold, who has been asked to use the entire police force in a quick search for Miss Irma Wal ther. daughter of Mrs. M. s. Hubbell Walther, resident at 4O5 John street, believed to have been spirited from this city.
 That this case may have direct bearing upon tie attempted forcible abduction of Mrs. Harry c. Cornwall from the residence of Dr. J. w. Wright, 810 Myrtle avenue is the statement of Mrs. Wa1ther to various officials to whom she has appealed for aid during. the last week.
 Much mystery involves the case to- day which includes mysterious trunk left by Mr2. Cornwall at the Wa1ther home, the contents of which is un- known but which while under at tachment has been the object of sev- eral attempts to forcibly get posses sion of by unknown persons.
 According to Mrs. Wa1ther she met Mrs. Cornwall sometime, ago, when Mrs. Cornwall was disposing of her household furniture at 1855 Howard avenue. Some weeks ago, following the attempt to kidnap Mrs. Cornwall , " sought refuge in Mrs. Wa1ther's house. She brought a trunk, and divuIged that it's contents contained some sec- ret which several other persons de- sired to have in their possession. The
 following night was one of terror in the house for Mrs. Cornwall refused to sleep, stating that she feared some one might shoot her, through the win dows. She left at five o'clock in the morning and walked the streets of Bridgeport in fright.
 The following day an attachment was placed on the trRnk by the local
 dry goods company for goods deliver
 ed to Mrs. Cornwall On several oc-
 casions men demanded the trunk and
 Mrs. Walther was in mortal fear for her life. She appealed to the author ities to take the trunk from under
 her roof, but this could not quickly be done.
 Intimations later reached Mrs. Wal ther that her. daughter might be talk en to New York city and placed in a burIesque show. Every effort upon the part Of Mrs. WaIther to ascertain what influence was being yielded up- on her daughters to leave their home land Mrs. Isaac Burgess, probation of ficer was appealed to at one time. On | another occasion it was found that IrTna Wa1ther was in danger of Ieav- ing the city and Alexander Howell a special officer, trai1edl the girl and brought her home from unsaVOry sur had been inveigled.
 Today Captain Arnold received re- tport that the girl had been missing from her home since Sunday night
 and it was feared that harm has be- fallen her.
