H. ]. NELSON
DIES IN FRANCE

Authentic word was received here
yesterday of the death of Henry j..
Nelson, on August 10, at a hospital in
France. Nelson died of influenza.
The deceased is wellknown Bon
ners Ferry boy and was a member of
one of the first draft contingents. He
has no relatives in this district.
Nelson was better known here as
"Curley" and was prominent in ath-
letics and was a principal in several
local wrestling matches. Prior to
being called in the draft he was en-
ployed as drayman by r. Mcpherson.
"Curley" numbered his friends by the
score in this county. The first gold
star to be placed on the Boundary
county service flag will be in honor
of "Curley" Nelson, who while he did
not die of wounds received on the bat
tie field, sacrificed his life for the
great cause as surely as those who
die at the front.

MAKES OCTOBER DRAFT CALL
Boundary County Quota VIII Probably
II Six or Seven Men

The October draft call was made in
Idaho on Friday and Provost Marshal
General Crowder has asked for Asst
men who will entrain for Camp Lewis
curing the five day period commence
ing October 18th.
The local board has not yet re-
ceived the call for the Boundary coun-
ty quota but is is expected that the
call will not be for more than six or
seven men.
In the Office of the adjutant general
of Idaho it is estimated that the Octo-
Der call will clean up practically all
of the available AL men of the class of
1917 in the state and will invade the
1918 classes, including those who reg
istered in August.
Adjutant General Moody, of Idaho
believes that Idaho will exceed the
estimated figures of 55,502 set by the
provost marshal general in the regis
tration of it's man power between the
ages of IS and AS not heretofore reg
istered. This is indicated by the re-
ports now in the hands of the adju-
tant generals office.

REMARKABLE PROPHECY MADE
BY GERMAN MONK IN 1900
TOLD OF WORLD CONFLICT NOW In PROGRESS AND PREDICTED VIC
TORY FOR THE ENEMIES OF THE ANTCHRISr DIRECTOR HAS
KINS REPORTS UPON AUTHENTICITY OF THE PROPHECY CON-
TAINS BUT FEW DISCREPANCIES

Notifications, armies or ships of war.
THE white eagle, by order of Mich
ael, will drive the Crescent out OF Eu-
rope, where there will be no longer
any but Christians. He will install
himsel at Constantinople."
The above prophecy by the monk.
Fratre Johannes. who lived about the
year 1900 is remarkable in it's appli-
cation TO the present world crisis. The
authenticity of this prophecy was at
first doubted beause of few discrep-
ancies in the text but the matter was
referred to the newspaper bureau at
Washington, ID. c., and Director F. j.
Haskins gave out the following:
'In reply TO your letter asking
whether the prophecy by the monk,
Fratre Johannes, is real, would say
that this prophecy was discovered in
an old parchment in convent of the
Holy Ghost. at Wismar, in Germany
and is kept under glass in the town
hall of that CITY. There have been
numerous translations in which the
text varies somewhat. The discrep-
ancies which we notice are probably
due to variations in the translation of
the text. On the whole it is a re-
markable prophecy"

The republican precinct committee
men of Boundary county met Friday
in accordance with the Idaho state
laws and organized. c. w. King was
reelected county chairman; w. T..

The candidates on the republican
ticket also met Friday and talked over
plans for the coming campaign. 1t

year would be conducted on very
conservative basis owing to the fact
that we are in war and our country
has great need of the money and time
usually spent in campaigns.
The republican ticket of Boundary
county is one that will no doubt meet
favor at the hands of the voters in
November. All the men OH the re-
publican ticket stand we'll in their
respective communities. are men who
have lived here and paid taxes in this
county for several years, who have
and always expect to make this county
their home and who are everywhere

1917 registration there were ten who
registered after the day set, the fail
ure to register on the day set having
been due to illness or because the reg
istrant was out of this country
OF the 66S men who registered on
Thursday of last week 467 are native
born; 81 are naturalized citizens, 25
are citizens whose parents took out
naturalization papers; 80 are aliens
who have taken out their first papers
and SO are aliens who have made no
attempt to become citizens: 652 are
white men; one is negro; IL are
Orientals and four are Indians. 95
of the registrants in this county are
under % years of age The proper
ton of young men to register was
very small owing to the fact that so
many had previously enlisted.
In this city registration day was
fittingly observed An impromptu
celebration was carried out on the
