Samples of the product of Whitman
county clay are now on exhibition in
various business houses on Main street.
The first kiln of ware at the new pottery
is off. The amount is in excess of two
thousand gallons. The burn was very
successful and far exceeds the expecta-
tlons of the owners and proprietors, in
the result. Absolutely no cracking has
yet been discovered, and it is believed
there will be no waste in the first kiln
burned. This puts the industry beyond
the experimental stage and makes it
certain that the best of ware can here be
manufactured. The output to date is
chiefly from beds of clay at and near
Elberton. The quality of the clay there
is found to be unexcelIed. Samples of
the product of the new home manufac-
ture were viewed by MANY citizens when
first brought up town, and only words
of compliment and commentator we're
heard. The result is hattering. The
proprietors are enthusiastic and conf
dent. A new kiln will be burned at
once and Palouse pottery will go upon
the market.-Commoner.

miles northeast of Rosalia, committed
suicide last week bv taking morphine,

towards morning Mr.. Know was awak-
ened by hearing aim fall on the floor
and getting up discovered him lying
there unconscious. Medical aid was
promptly summoned and DR.. James. of
Latah, worked with the unconscious
form all that day, but was unable to
arouse him from his deep sleep. DR..
Morton was then called and the two
physicians continued their efforts until
Friday evening at $40 when he died.
Deceased was 70 years of age and had
made his home with Mr.. Know for about
year He spent his time in cooking
for Mr.. Know, who is a bachelor, max
ing garden and doing chores, and always
seemed IN good spirits. No cause is
assigned for the rash act and it is sup
posed he tired of waiting for death He
has no relations in this country and
whether he has any at all is not known.
One hundred dollars were found on his
person but beyond that it is not thought
that he had any property.

Jesse X. Miller will have TO attend the
trial of Train Robber Newberry. at Fargo.
N. d., after all. Judge Knowles ruled yes-
terday that the United States marshal for
Montana had no right to serve a process
from another district. At the same time he
held that the marshal to whom the process
was issued could serve it wherever he could
find the person for whom it was gotten out.
The habeas corpus proceedings by which
Miller sought to evads the trip to Fargo to
testify against Newberry came up in the
United States circuit court yesterday morn
ing. Ex-Gov. Carpenter appeared for
Miller, and United States District Attorney
Weed and Assistant District Attorney Nc
Donald represented Marshal Furay.
The proceedings were not very
long. It was commended for the
government that the United States marshal
of a district, having a process to serve,
could deputize the marshal Of another dis
trict to do the work. For Miller the reverse
was claimed. Judge Knowles sustained the
technical point made by Miller's counsel
and ordered his discharge from the custody
of the marshal of Montana, The decision
was also to the effect that the marshal of
the district whore the process was issued,
or his deputy from the same district, must
serve the papers. Deputy Marshal Hodg-
son, of Fargo, was in waiting, and Marshal
Furay turned Miller over to him. Miller
and HodRson left for Fargo last night.
The testimony of Miller ia needed to
complete q chain Of circumstantial evil
dence that will fasten the crime of holding
up the Northern Pacific express and rob-
bling the mail, on Newberry. Miller had
mailed some samples of mineral in a regis
tered package. This package, with others,
fell into Newberry's hands as part of the
proceeds of the robbery. The mineral
samples were found among his effects later.
AS part of Newberry's defense will be an
alibi, the Identification of the stolen prop
erty will materially hid the cause Of the
prosecution.

1t is nothing strange that sometimes
a hunted wild animal, running near a
town or village. should enter house,
in it's efforts To cscape-though it is apt
to DO rather exciting-especially If the
animal Is large. Such an act may be
prompted by the creatures hope Of con-
cealment or protection, but oftener it is
probably dnnc in the blind craze of ter
TOR, like the frenzy of runaway horse.
Tho San Francisco Chronicle relates
that In Bodiga, Cal, not long since, a man
iaseoed . wild COW, he being on horse
back. and was trying to drive her before
him, when tho animal broke the lariat
and made dash for liberty. Not far of
there was large house, with the front
door wide open. She rushed through
the door. up the front stairs. through a
narrow hallway into bedroom. out of
the window, on to the roof Of the

THE POLKA.
It Was Invented In 1880 by an Austrian
Female Cook.


Female Cook.
The origin of the polka is being dis
cussed in some of the Partisan journals,
says Galignani. The universally popu-
lar dance is said to have been invented
in 1880 by an Austrian kitchen cook,
who, finding herself dull in the kitchen,
sang and danced to the now we'll
known measure. The cooks mistress
having surprised her during the perfor-
nance she was requested to dance and
sing in the presence of the composer
Joseph Neruda, who took notes of the
performance. The polka passed into
Prague, then to Vienna, and was
danced for the first time before the
Partisan public by Hungarian artist
at the Odeon theater in 1910. Plenty of
animated polka music was written sue
cessively by Lanner. Strauss and Fran
els Hunai. But the real polka mania
did not break out in Paris till 1874,
when it was danced with great success
by a select few at the Sale Valentino,
in the Rue Saint-Honore, the premises
now occupied by the Nouveau cirque.
Crowds used TO assemble round the
dancers to admire the different pretty
figures which composed the true polka,
which was then acquired with great
difficulty. and was not the simple close
of the rushing dance at present known
by that name. So popular was the pol
ka in Paris nearly half century ago
that the dancing masters had for clients
ladies and gentlemen of all classes, and
even judges, lawyers and doctors did
not disdatn TO take lessons in what was
then considered as one of the greatest
requirements for q ballroom dancer.
