NEAR A BLOWUP
Mrs. BrittOn Almost Disrupted
st. Louis Cardinals.
Only Sale of Team to Fans
Saved the Club.
BY JACK VEIOCK.

New York, May 24.-The timely
purchase of the st. Louis Cardinals by
a stock company of Mound City fans
sidetracked a deal which would have
completely wrecked the team.
The low down on the proposed
deal leaked out after Mrs. Schuyler
Britton agreed to the sale of the club
and st. Louis bugs may ell thank
their lucky stars that the deal did not
go thru.
Turnout the winter Mrs. Britton was
bombarded with offers for Rogers
Hornsby and Frank Snyder by three
National league club owners. Big cash
offers for these two players were dan
gled before the eyes of the magnates
by Charles Weeghman, Charley Eb-
bets and Barney Dreyfus, and as COM
petition grew keen and one after the
other raised the ante Mrs. Britton e
gan to weaken. She was told by
Manager Higgins and other advisers
that to dispose of Hornsby and Snyder
would wreck the team. But the pros
poets were none too bright for st.

Will Keep Out of Politics.
Dallas, May 24.-By adoption of the
report of the permanent judicial COM
mission, the 129th general assembly of
the Presbyterian church in the United
States of America today went on rec
ord as against presbyteries of the
church taking official action for or
against the candidates of any political
party. The specific case was that of
the Des Moines, Iowa, presbytery,
which urged opposition to candidate
for governor of Iowa because he OPP
posed prohibition and favored the
candidacy of another man because he
favored prohibition
Such action was without jurisdiction
of the church, the report said No
mention was made of the name of
either political candidate nor the year
in which the question arose.

Stock Shipments

Fourteen cars Of mixed stock went
out over the prairie line and 20 cars
over the Clearwater road Tuesday for
Spokane, Seattle and Tacoma, at the
same prices as were paid last week.
More than 100 cars of cattle are
being held at various points on the two
lines for shipment, but it is impossible
to get cars at present. The reason
given is that nearly all available cars
on this coast have been in use for
several weeks in shipping army
horses and mules to Atlantic coast
points. 1t is expected these cars will
commence c6ming back within few
days, when the congested situation
here will be relieved.
Prize-winning stock from every
point on the prairie has been shipped
out nearly every day this week to the
big stock show at Lewiston.

CHATAUQUA
COMING HERE
To be Held Last Week in June
Next Year.

The people of this portion of
Idaho will be pleased to learn
that arrangements have been
made for a weeks session of the
Ellis White Chatauqua Associa-
tion of Portland, to be held in
Cottonwood the last week of next
June.
This will be the biggest attrac-
ton ever brought to the town
and will prove of inestimable val
ue to this portion of the country
in various ways-to say nothing
of the splendid advertising the
town and vicinity will receive by
the meeting here of many of the
most prominent orators and lee
turers in the nation.
William Jennings Bryan-per-
rhaps Americas greatest orator
makes a speciality of delivering
lectures at Chatauqua meetings
and an effort will be made to
have him here during the session.
A number of the most noted
speakers of the nation will be
here to take part in the session,
also many of the greatest singers
of the country.
These attractions are a little
expensive, and very few country
towns feel able to tackle such a
big proposition, but Cottonwood
does not "play second fiddle" to
anybody or anything, and what
ever she undertakes to do, is
done right.
The cost of holding the weeks
session will be about $1100 and
40 of our citizens have signed a
contract guaranteeing the sale OF
45O season tickets at $3.50 each.
The Chatauqua will be held in
a large tent with seating capacity
for several thousand people and
there will be double program
every afternoon and evening.
Ample provision will be made
by our citizens to accommodate
the hundreds of outside people
who will spend the week here.

Visitors From Wisconsin.

E. L. Petersen, wife and two
young sons are here from Hart
ford, Wis, visiting their old
friends and former neighbors-
the Matthiesen, Schrader and
Oesau families. All of these peo-
pie were children together at
New Holstein, Wisconsin. Mr..
Petersen is an experienced jew
eler and expects to locate some
where in this state perhaps in
some town north of here,
and they expect to leave in their
auto within a few days for the
north end of the state.
/ They made the entire trip from
Wisconsin in their car, coming
via Weiser and Boise. When
they were four miles south of
White Bird they met with a
frightful accident on Oct. 23d, by
the car going over an embank-
ment. The parents and one of
the sons were badly injured, the
father and mother having sever
al bones broken, and they were
obliged to spend a couple of
weeks under treatment at White
Bird before being able to proceed
on their way to Cottonwood.
Mr.. Petersen and family left
this morning for Coeur d'Alene.
