SPLINTERS.

Experimenting with some home-

made explosive may cost the sight of

Clyde Dillabaugh, aged 15, who with

Robert Haskell and Frank Jones, boys

about 19 years old, was injured Fri-

day evening when an unexpected ex-

plosion splintered a log, restroying the

sight of young Jones also. ,Haskellescaped without injury.

The explosion occurred near the

Baker City engineering works, near

which the boys live. Rockwell andDillabaugh had made some powder ac-

cording to a receipt they had secured

from Dillabaugh's grandfather. To

test iis strength Haskell had bored a

hole in a log and plugged it up. He

was gently tampering the explosive

when the tiling went off. .

The slab was badly splintered and

tlie bits of wood were driven in every

direction. Haskell, who was standing

directly over the charge, escaped al-

most without injury, but Jones re-

ceived some slight injuries in the eye,

and Dillabaugh's right eye was vir-

tually torn out by a splinter of the

powder. The face of the boy was cut,

scratched and almost raw, and is full

CHICAGO, July 9.?After a daring

rescue from a lonely farmhouse nearCentralia, Miss Grace Monroe, daugh-

? volvers. and two friends are holding

1 the fort with him. Miss Monroe, who

lacks but four days of being IS yearsof age. stands steadfast by her im-petuous suitor, and declares thatnothing but death can take her fromhim.

Leiferman and his sweetheart, upontheir arrival in Chicago, attempted tobe married, but owing to the close pur-

I suit of the irate father and the re-,

jected suitor, they were unable to se--3 cure a license and visit a clergyman.

. The rescue from the isolated farm-

e house, five miles from Centralia, was) as sensational as the kidnaping of the- young girl by her father from their.. home in Chicago Lawn.

REVOLUTION DUE IN FRANCE.

French Prelate Declares That CountryIs Ruled by Absolute Despotism.

NOTRE DAME, Ind., July 9?"The

French republic persecutes the Catho-

lic religion wfch the fixed determina-

tion of destroying it," said the Very

Rev. Gilbert Francais, who has arriv-

ed here to establish the permanent

headquarters of the congregation of

the Holy Cross. Father Francais wasobliged to leave France because of the

altitude of the French government to-

ward religious communities.

In speaking of the religious question

in France, the superior gener&t said:

?'Americans who enjoy the happiness

nf having a genuine republic and who

know how to understand and practice

true liberty, not only for themselves,

but for those that have different opin-

ions, can hardly get a correct idea of

the present situation in France.

"The republic of France is a mereword, not a reality; in practice it is

the most absolute government France

ever had. In spite of the result of the

last elections, which really represent

only appearance and corruption, theFrench republic governs against themajority of the nation.

"It persecutes the Catholic religion

with the fixed determination of de-stroying it. It hopes to succeed infollowing a plan mapped out long ago.

Although the greater part of France Is

not Catholic, as it ought to be. yet

France has never favored religious

persecution. Most of the municipal

councils consulted by the government

itself declared themselves in favor ofreligious co-operation, yet the gov-

ernment paid no attention to this de-

cision. Several millions of Frenchmenpresented a petition to the Frenchparliament asking separation, all in

vain. Imagine a strong man who hasbeen surprised during his sleep by an

enemy that bound him hands and

feet. He wakes up and finds himselfa prisoner. Such is the situation ofFrance, and it will require a terrible

revolution to bring the country back

to its ancient tradition."

The annual religious retreat of thepriests and brothers of Holy Cross in

I the United States began here lastj week, nearly 250 attending.

Battle for Management of Big Insur-ance Companies About to Begin.

NEW YORK, July 9.?Prom now on

until next December one of the most

extraordinary campaigns in the his-

tory of the country will be waged be-

tween the 1.100.000 policy holders ofthe .Mutual and New York Life Insur-

ance companies on the one side and

the strongest possible group of Wall

street interests on the other. For sev-eral weeks both sides have been pr-

paring a campaign. The stake is of

monumental importance, as it involves

control of both the Mutual and New-York Life companies, whose corn-mined assets amount to the huge sumof $900,000,000.

The policy holders of the two com-panies in the LTnited States, Canada

and the principal European countrieshave been quietly organizing during

the past six weeks by representatives

of the international policy holders'committee, and it is expected a ma-jority of the policy holders of eachcompany will vote at the annual elec-

tion on December 18 to turn out theJ. P. Morgan management, which nowcontrols the New York Life, and theStandard Oil management, which Is incontrol of the Mutual Life.

One of the most notable membersof the committee is Cardinal Gibbons,primate of the Roman Catholic churchin America. The fact that CardinalGibbons joined the committee Is re-garded in itself as the strongest pos-sible evidence of the importance heattaches to the matter at issue?thesafety of the savings of the 1,100,000policy holders.

An equally notable member is Rev.Dr. Russell H. Conwell. who is proba-bly the leading Baptist clergyman ofthe United States. He is founder ofthe Baptist Temple and Temple col-lege of Philadelphia.

Slayer of Chris Long May YetBe Hanged

CASE IS OP TO BOARD OF PARSONS

WILL COME UP FOR FINAL CON-

SIDERATION AUGUST 6

AT BOISE.

BOISE, July 9.?The pardon board

met Friday and decided to continue

the time of Louis Wetter's repdieve

until the next meeting of the board

on August 6, at which time the peti-

tion for a commutation of sentence

for the man will be considered. Wet-ter was sentenced to death for the

murder of L. D. Long and Christ Wainon July 19, 1904. The crime was saidto have been committed in Sesesh

Meadows. Wetter was arrested, tried

and convicted, and an appeal was

taken to the supreme court, where thejudgment of the trial court was sus-tained. The second date set for himto hand was April 20, but a petition

having been circulated for a commu-

tation nf his sentence to life impris-

onment he was given a reprieve. Xow

the warden of the penitentiary has

been ordered not to execute the sen-

tence until notice from the pardon

board.

The petition for commutation ofsentence is based on the grounds that

the prisoner was temporarily insane

at the time he committed the murders.

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED

By local applications, as they cannotreach the diseased portion of the ear.There is only one way to cure deaf-ness, and that is by constitutional rem-edies. Deafness is caused by an in-flamed condition of the mucuous lin-ing of the Eustachian Tube. When

tlits tube is inflamed you have a

rumbling sound or imperfect hearing,

and when it is entirely closed, deaf-ness is the result, and unless the in-

flammation can be taken out and this

tube restored to its normal condition,

hearing will be destroyed forever; ninecases out of ten are caused by Catarrh,

which is nothing but an inflamed con-

dition of the mucuous surfaces.

We will give One Hundred Dollarsfor any case of deafness (caused by

catarrh) that cannot be cured by

Why George Kellough Should Not beElected Mayor.

While all right in his way he is not

in any sens* qualified for the office.

Because just now city affairs are ata critical stage. A new and inexpe-

rienced man at this time in the may-or's office can only throw the city back

?interfere greatly with its progress.

Because a better man than Kel-lough is available for the office at this

time. As mayors go Gilbert Hunt has

few equals.

Because Kellough is not running for

tlie office on his individual merits but

is backed and urged on by a "nasty

crowd" who have many other things

in their noodle than the city's best

interests. What have the Boxers everdone to help the city?

Because the office of mayor should

be filled by one of the city's first citi-zens. And is Kellough one of the

most capable men in connection withpublic and municipal affairs In thecity? His strongest supporters will not

claim this much.

become a ruinous break, devastating

Paris vs. Evansville.

"Undo Joe" Cannon has a good

story of an Indiana man whose birth-place, Evansville, will ever keep a lov-ing memory in his heart.

Some years ago this faithful son of

Indiana was enabled, by reason of aninheritance, to make a trip abroad.Upon his return the Evansville people

were anxious to have his imprssions

of "furrin' parts," a wish with which

the traveler obligingly complied. "Tellus all about Paris," someone finally

suggested.

"Paris," observed the Evansvilleman, gravely, "is certainly a wonder-

ful place, gents?all things considered,

a wonderful place. But," he added,

thoughtfully, "Evansville for pleas-

WASHINGTON, D. C, July 9.?Gen.Funston has administered a severe re-

martial for undue leniency shown a

prisoner. The court was trying ArthurArmstrong of the Twenty-sixth bat-tery of field artillery, on the charge*

of breaking out of the prison on Alca-

traz island, and forcing the cells ofthree other prisoners and liberating

them. The prisoner pleaded guilty. Thecourt decided that there was no crimecommitted in escaping and sentencedArmstrong to three months of close

confinement for releasing the otherprisoners. General Funston says:

"Armstrong was in prison fifteen years

for an offense against a woman. He

is probably the most desperate and

certainly the most despicable prisoner

on the island. It is evident that the

officers composing the court are in-competent and the court is hereby dis-

solved." The members were: Major
