11th, in his office. DR.. 0. T. Stratton.

Immediately before Mr. Melvin expired
was unable to state the cause of his
death.
It is said Mr.. Melvin was harassed
and attacked by mob on Main street
near the Pioneer block, for not con-
tributing a dollar to the Red Cross;
Melvin claiming he did not have the
dollar and had already contributed
SO worth of advertising space, and
eventually succeeded in gaining the
refuge of his office, where he immed-
lately collapsed following his entry.
These circumstances caused W. c.
Doebler, coroner, to call an inquest,
the jury of which, after having heard
the testimony, returned the verdict
that Mr.. Melvin had come to his death
by means of excitement and overex-
srtion.
Mr. Melvin came to Salmon Janu-
ary Is. 1916, and engaged in publica-
ton of The Recorder, which activity
had occupied him since. He was born
February 16, 1861, in Melville, Caro-
line County, Nd, and after his gradu-
alton from Williams college he, with
his brother, George, published the
Denton Journal. Thenceforward ? his
paper business. He moved from Den
ton to Cambridge, Md, in this profess
sion, and thereafter to Ellicott City,
Md. where he owned and published
successfully the Ellicott City Demo-
crat and the Ellicott City Times.
In 1905 he removed to California
and was connected in that state with
the Humboldt (Eureka) Times, the
Searchlight and later on ac-
quired the Red Bluff Sentinel, which
he operated until shortly before COM
ing to Idaho in 1911.
In this state he located at Gooding
and conducted the Leader published
there. He purchased the Shoshone
Journal and several years later estab-
Iished the Twin Falls Daily Press;
after disposing OF this property he was
connected with the Idaho Daily States
man az Boise some months, and there
after purchased the Idaho Recorder az

ANENT A LOCAL SITUATION

When you see a man or woman who
has left the narrow way,
Who has danced at rout or revel- till
the fiddler asks for pay;
When you see one clad in scarlet,
while another weeps in black
For the day of love and glory that will
nevermore come back,
Then, of course, your condemnation is
a thing that you proclaim,
(Must we not, to show our virtue,
darkly scowl on sin and shame?)
And I also frown, my brother. yet one
question makes its plea:
Had I known his black temptation
what were now the case with me
There is blood, someone has told me,
that is turbulent and wild,
All the passion of dead fathers run
ming riot in the child.
In your veins, my worthy madam or
my highly honored sir.
Is the DIOOu dll CdliIl anu pidCAu, ludl
no storms of passion stir;
Therefore wrap your cloak of virtue
closely to you in disdain
For the ones who pluck red blossoms
hedged about with thorns of pain.
You are good and unco' holy; throw
a rock, the sinners due
Had you known his black temptation,
what were now the case with you?
oh, 1 know the lying tempter that has
lured me oft to stray.
And 1 know the good, white angel
urging me to duty's way.
In my bosom wages battle evermore
'twixt Wrong and Right,
And 1 walk, by Gods own mercy, Ger
the chasm of the night;
If 1 fall, as I have fallen, you who
miss the tempter's lure.
Should you look in loathing on me,
thanking God your way is sure?
Nay, look deeper. till His pity whis-
pers you from heights of blue:
Had you known his black temptation,
what were now the case with you?"
Oft l cry my mea culpa to the One
above the stars,
And / deem his answer floateth down
the heavens misty bars:
AS you know your strength is ever
by your weakness held at bay
50 It's yours TO give your pity TO my
little ones who stray
~ though they be mire-bespattered
and in filthy tatters stand,
You are but their errant brotheri .

Berlin Letter
A. P. Correspondence

BERLIN, June 27-CCable letter.
Americans in Berlin no longer need to
be afraid. in case Of sudden illness, OF
being unable to obtain the highest class
Of medical attention because Of lack Of
knowledge of the German language. The
American chamber Of commerce here has
completed the mobilization of all English
speaking doctors in the city who win be
available IN such emergencies.
Diagnose Cases.
The chamber has a full list Of such
physicians and surgeons at hand, and in
case Of requests for assistance from
Americans it has board of five leading
doctors in Berlin to whom all calls are
referred. When a member Of the board
answers a call and diagnoses the case
he is ready to act himself IL the circum-
stances are urgent, otherwise after dag
nosis and consultation with the patient,
he win refer the case to some specialist.
A member of the board win act as in
terpreter. The chambers service op-
crates day and night and is gratuitous.
N. Y. Gunmen at 5remerhaVen.
New York gunner migrating from the
Eastside, are believed by the Bremen
a port of entry into Germany and to be
largely responsible for the recent orgy Of
lawlessness that has been gripping some
German seaports.
Dead In Water.
Each week, when some Of the larger
ships sailing for New oYrk are ehurn-
ing the waters Of the canal, the propel-
lers seldom fail to bring one Of more
bodies Of seamen to the surface. In
many cases it is believed the men have
fallen into the canal while intoxicated, as
there were no signs Of violence.
Killed Bar Maid.
The American seamen themselves are
considerably involved in law-breaking.
An outstanding instance recently was
that in early May when Hugh Reilly OF
Chicago, from the steamship America,
committed suicide after shooting and
killing a bar maid.

Paris Letter
A. P. Correspondence

PARIS, June 27.-(Cable Letter)-With
the purpose of interpreting American life
and thought to the people of France, the
newspaper La Figaro OF Paris, win
henceforth devote weekly a measurable
proportion of its space to American af-
fairs.
French newspapers differ largely from
those in this country. AS a rule they
give relatively little space to foreign
news, using only short dispatches. Heavy
demands are made upon them by poll
tics, and as a result political editorial
articles crowd out news of what the rest
of the world is doing. Furthermore the
theatre and matters literary eceive more
space in their columns.
Exhibit at MarseIIles.
Frances colonial exposition Is proving
a great attraction to visitors, especially
to Americans. The party of prominent
American bankers which recently came
to Marseines was particularly interested
in the great exhibit from French Indo-
China, the near neighbor of the Philip
pines and territory so rich and extern
sive that 1t plays a great part in Pacific
problems.
In Secluded Spot
me temple STANDS IN q SecLuueQ spot,
with much open space about it. 1t is
reproduced in concrete and plaster made
in excellent imitation of marble. Pa
godas in the same style Of architecture
flank the main entrance and are sur
rounded by lagoons. No detail of a Bud
dhist temple has been omitted in devel-
oping the exterior.
Fantastic Temple.
The chief building of the French Indo-
China exhibit IS a reproduction of the
fantastic Temple Of Angkor. in Com
bodia. This mammoth temple with its
fine fretted towers and magnificent ap-
proaches, protected by animals, is the
most striking feature of the exposition.
In fact, it is doubtful whether any ex-
position ever offered a more impressive
and unique building.
From Cochin China.
Within are exhibits OF Indo- Chinese
products. Cotton. rice, rubber, coal,
hemp, tomber, wool and various other
raw materials yielded by Tonking. Cam
bodia, Coachin-China and AMMAN are
shown, together with paintings, photo
graphs and cinema pictures illustrating
the scenery and varied INDUSTRIES.

Another Slam at the Tariff.

Senator Frelinghuysen has a light. He is a
