WHY DIG IT UP?
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

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

dividuals. A special attraction at this theatre
