Story That John Wilkes Booth Was Tossed Into Potomac River. SALEM, O., Feb. 12-That the body of John Wilkes Booth, assassin of Abraham Lincoln, was tossed into the Potomac River, and not buried n the Booth family plot, is the be lief of R. B. Thompson, a newspapcr man of this city. Mr. Thompson bases his statement on the revelation of a secret made to him eight years ago by Captain E. W. Hilliard, 111. Capt. E. W. Hiliard, was then com mander of Tom Smith Post G. A. R., Metropolis, III- Captain Hilliard, who died a few years ago, told Mr. Thom son that he and four privates of Sher idan's army reported for duty at the old capitol prison in Washington one night a few weeks after the assass ination and in company of a surgeon and corporal, Booth's corpse, dis figured by burns, was removed from stone slab wrapped in a tarpaulin and carried to a gunboat in waiting, The vessel dropped down the river ten miles and the assassin's body, weighted, was placed on a plank and shoved into the river. All concerned were bound to profound sececy and Mr. Thompson says Captain Hilliard told him the tale most reluctantly, after having inadvertantly given a clue at the time of President McKin- ley's death.

COUNTY ASSESSOR IS GIVE!! THE RIGHT GRANTED AUTHORITY APPOINT HIS OWN DEPUTY TO The senate finally passed the bill permitting the assessor of Clatsoo county to appoint his own deputy without the intervention of th: county court. The announcement yesterday morning stating that the senate had refused to concur with the house in passing this bill over the governor's veto proved erroneous. The telegraph reports were not clear. It seems that the senate did actually kill the bill, as was reported in the papers, but afterwards recon sidered its action and passed it. Why Governor Chamberlain veto ed this bill, which was introduced by Representative Leinenwcbcr, is not at alt clear. In every way its provisions seem to be all right, and its only purpose was to permit the county assessor of this county to ap point his own deputy, instead, as heretofore, of having the county court make the appointment. The bill did not provide for any increase in salary and contained nothing new except the one matter of placing the appointment in the hands of the man who naturally ought to have it "I think the bill got into bad company," said one man yesterday, "and for that reason may, have been killed." He evidently meant that the governor looked upon it as One of the "more" bills, introduced to increase the salaries of some officials during their terms of office. The bills to increase the alary of the county superintendent of schools was also passed over the governer's veto, as announced yesterday morning. THE BRAHMA DIAMOND" ZXS&ESXXSSU3XSSB. Jewel Theatre Has a Film Causing Patrona to "Sit up and Take Notice." The program now at the pretty little Jewel theatre is one of unusual excellence, the feature film being the latest success in the motion pic tue world, entitled "The Brahma Diamond." The machine starts with a scene in Arabia, showing the in terior of one of the temples or places of worship with the many subjects of this strange creed praying to and worshipping an idol in the shape of a statute the image of a man. Upon the forhead of this idol sparkels a large and costly diamond which greatly attracts an American tourist whom is in this eastern land on a pleasure trip. The American who is a scoundrel at heart immediately plots to gain possession of this cost ly jewel and to this end succeeds in persuading one of the Arabs into the conspiracy. The idol with the diamond however in guarded night and day by one of the Sheik's trust ed men and for a while the Ameri can is foiled in his efforts to secure the stone. After considerable disap pointment however he learns that the night gmird in this temple is the sweetheart of a young Arab girl who on this particular evening 5s with her father alone. The American and his comrade creep into the house, bind the young girl's father, and tell the young lady that unless she helped them get the diamond her father would be murderer. They give the young girl a receptical con taining a poison and command her to proceed to the scene of the com ing crime. The two scoundrels croach in the shadow of the pillows of the temple, but in view of the girl, and bid her to approach her sweethea-t and give him the poison. This she does after being threatened that if she refused her father would be mur dered on the scene, she gives the young guard the poison and he im mediately collapses. The American springs upon the idol and secures the diamond after which he and his companion bind and gag the girl, her father and the guard, and make their escape. Later the victims are fonnd by other subjects of the Sheik and are, of course, accused of the theft. They are thrown into the dungeon, both maintaining their guilt to protect the other. Finally the Sheik allows the young man to go, but with the understanding that his sweetheart is to be executed un less he returned with the diamond in three days' time. He first goes to a mysterious medicine man and learns of the whereabouts of the American whom he has' already learned by the Hindus strange power as the man he is after. After con siderable difficulty he locates h's prey and incidentally the stone which I LINEN MADRAS FIRST SHOWING OXFORDS tod Tailored W&fete Advertised in all the leading magazines and worn wherever women wear fashionable clothing 1 note Watch For Our Suit Opening Over 150 Spring 1909 Models now ready imingf on . Dry Goods Co. the American has concealed in the handle of his traveling bag. He se cures the stone and arrives at hit native land just at the opportune moment, the guards already in the act of beheading his beloved. He gives op the precious jewel, they are both released and everything ends happily. The film is an exceedingly lengthy one and is without a doubt one of the most strangety fasclnatin? ever exhibited in this city. ThJ balance of the program is up to the standard, and a visit to the Jewel theatre this afternoon or evening will delight the most critical of in dividuals. A special attraction at this theatre is announced for tomorrow matinee and evening by Manager Newman, he having secured the services of the oClumbia orchestra and they will ren der a choice program at both the afternoon and evening performance 'FRISCO TO PANAMA.
