BIG MINERAL DISPLAY
Largest Collection Of Ores Ever Shown
In Inland Empire at Fair.

Largest Collection Of Ores Ever Shown
In Inland Empire at Fair.
Because of the increased activity in
mining throughout the Northwest an
imposing exhibit of minerals, mining
machinery and mineral products will
be made at the Interstate Fair and
Annual Live Stock Show, September
4 to 9. The Spokane Mining Mems
club and the Spokane Mining Ex-
change are gathering the largest and
most representative exhibits ever as
sembled at one place in the Inland
Empire. Exhibits will be composed
of ore of all grades from the great
Occur d'Alene lead and zinc district,
copper ores from Stevens and Ferry
counties, lead and silver from Montana
and British Columbia and other min
erals from all the mining districts
tributary to Spokane. The mineral
department will be under the direct
supervision of F. s. Bailey, secretary
of the Mining Mems club.
"The owners of producing mines and
prospects will cooperate heartily with
splendid samples of ore for exhibition
purposes" says Mr.. Bailey. Never in
the history of the Inland Empire has
the mining industry been so important
as it is today, and l believe the WISH
tors to the fair this year will be able,
from the class of exhibits that will be
made. to realize the Importance of
this great industry
The space formerly devoted to the
mining division has been enlarged and
redecorated, and with the assistance
Of the Northwest mining interests this
department will be one of the main
attractions at the fair. AS in former
years freight will be paid on all ex-
hibits left in the permanent mineral
exhibit.

EASEMENT, IRISH
PATRIOT, HANGED
Il Die for My Country" His
Last Utterance After
a Prayer
BODY REFUSED TO FAMILY
Leader Of Irish Rebels, Executed fof
High Treason, Walks Calmly to
Death-Laree Crowd Outside
Mixes Cheers With Groans.

London.-Roger Casemnt, former
British Knight and Consul, was hang
ed in Pentonville Jail for high trea-
son. He was convicted of conspiring
to cause an armed revolt in Ireland,
and with having sought German aid
~ that end.
The Irish leaders last words spok-
en- while he waited for the drop to
be sprung, were:
II die for my country"
Solicitor Gavan Duffy, who was
Easements counsel, was indignant at
the refusal of the prison authorities
to turn over the body OF the Irish
rebel after the law had been satisfied
Representing the deceased's rela'
tiyes at the inquest" he said, Il an
rlied to the Home Office for posses
sion of the body. Their refus"I to
turn It over to me was monstrous
act Of indecency."
Two hours before the execution a
crowd of men, women, and children
gathered before the prison gates.
Twenty minutes before Easement
mounted the scaffold the great prison
bell began to toll. The sound was
greeted with cheers from the crowd,
mingled with some groans. At nine
o'clock the crowd had swollen to such
proportions that it extended for two
blocks from the prison front. At one
minute after nine a single stroke on
the big bell announced that the trap
had been sprung. 1t was the signal
for a hooking, jeering yell from the
crowd, which suddenly died away into
dead silence, made wierd by groans.
Easement met his death with calm
courage, according to eye-Witnesses
He rose at about half-past five o'clock
From then until seven o'clock, when
Father McCarrell arrived he spent the
time reading the instructions of the
church for assisting at Mass, and the
taking of the first Communion. After
Mass he ate a little bread and butter
and drank a glass of water He had
very little to say to the priest. only
making a few remarks about the i'm
mortality of the soul He appeared
said Father McCarrell, like man
who had slept soundly-his nerves
were completely calm"
After Father McCarrelI and another
priest had administered the rites OF
the Roman Catholic Church, the
clergymen, with Easement following, q
warder on either side, proceeded to
ward the execution shed only five
yards away The priests recited the
litany of the dying, Easement respond

IN after YEARS
BY GEORGE ELMER COBB.

Il will yet trample on his grave

nett, mad with hate and fury.
my son! my son!" demonstrated
his mother, amazed and appalled,,
have you taken leave of your senses!
Do you realize all that Mr. Werner has
done for your dead father, for my
self, for the entire family, in fact?'
He's done nothing for me-" snarled
Floyd, "eXcept to refuse me a paltry
thousand dollars to start me in busi-
ness. AT 2r gobbling up fathers busi-
ness, too. All he has done for us!
The scoundrel, the thief! He ought
to be in jail"
"Oh, my boy!" cried Mrs. Burnett
in a tone of the deepest anguish,
the tears streaming from her eyes.
Must you force me to tell you that
John Werner saved"
But her wiliful son, headstrong and
furious, swung out of the house, NUT
tering volcano of spite and hatred.
To his point of view, John Werner was
all that he had pictured him. Had
Floyd fingered a few moments long
er, however, he would have learned
some facts that might have changed
his opinion of the man who had just
refused to loan him money-for his
own good, too, had he but known it.
To outward seeming, when William
Burnett, the father of Floyd, died he
had left fairly profitable business.
Town gossips were puzzled, when
month after his demise the business
was purchased by his oldest friend,
Werner. 1t was known that he had
given Mrs. Burnett something in the
way of a purchase price. Floyd knew
that this was a small amount, and had
tried to learn all the details of the
transaction, but his mother had been

to say, it's various drawers and recep-

in which will be thrown bali OF
string and a nutmeg or two and box
of toothpicks and any number of other
odds and ends; it is seldom cleaned,

cabinet should be given thorough and
frequent cleansing.

strangely uncommunicative. She had
called him home from college and told
him that he would have to go into the
business world, as the income would
be very limited from that time for
ward.
Baffied, in uncertainty as to just
what had been done in the sale of the
business, Floyd began to entertain
dark suspicious regarding his pur-
chase of the same. To his way of
thinking Werner had swindled his
mother, had imposed upon her ig-
norance and had got the business for
next to nothing. He had fumed and
fretted to no avail however. Then, in
a resentful mood-for he expected the
favor as a right-F1oyd visited Mr..
Werner. He told him he had chance
to purchase a half interest in prom
ising business in the city for thou
sand dollars, and asked loan OF that
amount
"You would only lose it, with your
lack of business experience" Mr.. Yer
ner had declared. BE advised by NE;
go to the city, if you think there is
your field, get position, no matter
how humble, and learn real business
ways Come back in year with your
mettle proved-then / will talk with
you"
"Humph! Just a put off to get rid
of me! The old skinf1int!" raved
Floyd. "I'll get even! Yes, l will!
I'll be on earth when he lies in his
grave, the scheming old miser, and
I'll dance on his gravel"
Why this particular fancied venge
ance so obsessed Floyd it would
have been difficult to surmise. He
was not used to setbacks, however,
and a mean suspiciousness, false es-
innate of the true merits of his ia
theirs old friend had urged Floyd to
point of uncomfortable deadly
hatred. To his mother he said moth
ing more of the subject, only two
days after his violent outburst he an
nounced quietly to her:
81 am going to the city next week
for good"
"Oh, my son." demonstrated Mrs.
Burnett; could you not find some
work near to us ALL"
Hardly suited to my ambitions,
observed Floyd, grandly. "The chief
one is to be able to some day come
back mere a rich man, with enough
money to buy and sell that old plot
! ter
Il won't listen to you, Floyd" de-
clared his mother sorrowfully. Some
day you will know how sadly you have
misjudged a truly good and honest
man.
''Bosh!" uttered Floyd contemptu-
! ously, and left the house.
Fortune favored Floyd Burnett. 1t
was strange that with his uniformed
ideas OF business, lmpetuousness and
self-set ways, he should make his way
rapidly up the ladder of fortune, but
so it was. He prospered. Within two
