OF the beautiful women I have known,
but few have attained superiority of any
kind, says Anna Katherine Green in The
Ladies Home Journal. So much is expect
ed by the woman accustomed TO admira-
ton that she plays and palters with her
fate ii the crooked stick is all that is left
her. This we SEE exemplifed sgain and
again. While the earnest, lofty, sweet
smiling woman OF the pale hair and doubt
fu. line OF nose, has. perhaps, one true
lover whase worth she has time to recog-
nize, an acknowledged beauty will find
herself surrounded by crowd OF SNOWY
cyclists whose admiration so dazes and be-
wilders her that she is sometimes tempted
to bestow herself upon the most importu-
nate one in order to end the unseemly
struggle.
Then the incentive to education, and 10
the cultivation OF ones especial powers is
lacking Forgetting that the t'iumphs
which have made a holiday OF youth must
lAssen with the years, many fair one
nevlects that training OF the mind which
gives TO her who is poor in all Else, an
endless storehouse OF wealth from which
she can hope 10 produce treasures for her
own delectation and that of those abort
her, long after the fitful bloom upon her
handsome sisters cheek has faded with
the roses of departed summer.

LONDON, March 5.-A long statement
has been issued and is now being circu-
lated among the electors of the Forest of
Dean division of worcestershire on be-
half Of Sir Charles Dixie. Feb. % il was
announced that the electors Of the Forest
of Dean division had asked Sir Charles
Dixie to be their candidate for parliament
at the coming general election. To this
proposition Sir Charles assented, provided
that he had fair assurance from majority
of the liberal electors that his candidacy
would receive their support. Finally, il
was stated that Sir Charles had supplied
the Fore,t of Dean liberal organization
with statement for private circulation
among its members vindicating himself
against the charges made against him in
connection with the famous Crawford
Dixie divorce case in which he was in
volved several years ago. The statement
is not signed, but bears evidence that Sir
Charles is the author.
The statement tries to show that the
leading assertion OF the responden;-Mrs.
Crawford-was untrue and that she is an
Rbandoned character and an habitual fire.
uuenter OF houses OF i'll fame. According
10 the statement Capt. Forster ought to
have been correspondent and not Sir
Charles Dixie. Referring to the notorious
Fanny" the pamphlet says that she is
now happily married and is known as
Mrs Stork. Continuing, the pamphlet
says that Mrs. Crawford, during the di-
vorce proceedings, made the assertion that
Fanny" had been Sir Charles bikes
mistress, and crowned her own infamy by
swearing that she Mrs. Crdwford) and
Fanny" had been in bed together with
Sir Charles Dixie. In this connection it
has BEEN widely asserted that Fanny"
avoided going into the witness box and
that, in so doing, she practically admitted
her guilt. Since the trial, however,
according to the statement, Fanny" has
made a statutory declaration, giving full
account Of herself, of where she was stay
ing at the period it was asserted that she
was sleeping with Sir Charles Dixie, and
has ma e sworn denial OF Mrs. Crawford's
story. so far as it related to her, before the
queens proctor "Fannv's" husband, the
pamphlet aids, believes his Wife's story,
and says that he has the best reasons to
know that che is n good woman. The
statement also compares the evidence
furnished at the trials in detail The most
striking novelty of the whole affair are
"Fanny's" dec arations
The general opinion seems 10 be that
the pamphlet will reopen the agitation ot
years gone by and will probably win over
to sir Charles side of the affair a number
of the public who have previously con-
demned him, but that it viii fail to COM
pietely vindicate Sir Charles Dixie.

A woMAN's POLITICAL FORESIGHT.
she Wins Two wagerr from Her Sweet
heart on nm Election.
milwaukee Evening Wisconsin,

milwaukee Evening Wisconsin,
The friends OF very bright West side
young lady tell with good deal OF enjoy
ment campaign story in which she fig
ures. Before the democratic convention
the young lady. whose cleverness enabled
her to scan the political horizon with the
glance of a statesman, made a wager with
young man of her acquaintance that q.
W. Peck would be the nominee for gov
ernor. Then, thinking that she was TAX
ing an unfair advantage of him, because
she considered it glaringly apparent that
che would win, she attempted 10 square
things by making another bet that he
would be elected.
TIE young man was a democrat but he
took the second bet for the purpose OF
"hedging." Their surprise was mutual
on the morning Of Nov. when the young
man found that instead OF "hedoing" he
had doubled up his own bet. He promptly
paid both wagers and the young lady,
still bent upon squaring things, presented
to him, as a souvenir of the occasion. a
copy of "Peck's Boss Book" On the fiy-
leaf she wrote the following witty inscrip-
ton: 1.-The Earl OF Beaconsfeld used lit
erature to rise in politics: let us pray-in
German only-tiat George w. Peck may
use politics to rise in literature"

ANOTHER EYRAuD CASE.

clan the Victim

clan the Victim.
Monaco, March 5.-A man and woman
we're arrested here yesterday charged
with the murder Of physician in Decein-
Der last. The arrest has caused sensa-
ton because the crime is direct counter
part or reproduction of the crime for
which Michael Eyraud recently suffered
the death penalty in the place De La
Roquette. From the meager details OBJ
tainab.e from the police. it appears that
in December last the body Of an English
physician, DIR. Lindemann of Manches-
ter, was found dead in ravine near San
Reno. The finding OF the body was fol-
lowed by an official investigation, which,
it was announced, resulted in the authori-
ties Of San Reno coming to the conclu-
sion that it was either a case OF suicide or
else that DIR. Lindemann met his death by
accident through ling down The ravine
some dark night while out walking.
II now appears that the police allowed
The suicide or accident theory TO get
abroad in order TO better enable the police
to 70 low out the real theory-that OF muir
der. II was thought likely that the MUIR
derer or murderer, upon hearing that the
authorities ut San Reno had arrived at the
conclusion that the English physicians
death was caused by accident or suicide,
would relax their vigilance. take fewer
precautions TO conceal their crime and
thus fall moro readily iRto the hands OF
justice. From the moment the doctors
body was found. the authorities OF San
Reno never ceased their investigation and
gradually wove a net of evidence around
the doctors murderers, which, yesterday,
resulted in the arrest herr of a man and
woman who are charged with having muir

PLOT FOR a PLAY.
An EnVii.hm7n Puts HIS wife IN n Mad
House and G bibles Her Property.


LONDON. March 5.-A curious and
startling case will shortly be tried in the
courts here. 1t appears that a Mrs.
Cathcart, wealthy lady of Straford, dis
appeared from her home, and for some
time all the efforts of her relatives and
friends failed to discover her whereabouts.
Quite recently, however, her friends traced
her to lunatic asylum, where she had
been confined at her husbands instiga-
ton. Mrs. Cathcart's relatives are now
trying 10 obtain the appointment of
lunacy commi-si to inquire into the
affair and to obtain her release, it being
ella med that she is perfectly sane. Mrs.
Cathcart is The oossessor OF an estate val
ued at over S5,OO0,0OO. which reverts to
her husband if he can prove her unsound
mentally. Mrs. Cathcart's relatives insist
that she is in iull possession of her senses,
and con, equently a long ant intere ting
trial is expe ted. Further Developments
show that in 1889 Mrs. Cathcart brought
suit against her husband in an effort to
obtain divorce and was not successful.

Eas.er.

Easter falls on March -, an unusually
early date. The earliest date on which
easter can fall is March %. and this only
in case the moon is full March n, when
this date happens to ia | on SATURDAY.. This
combination OF circumstances Is extremely
rare; IL occurred in 1902, 1891 and 1917
and will happen again in 1890, 2076 and
2l44, while during the three following
centuries it is not once ION the books at
this early date. On the other hand Easter
never falls later than April 25; this was
the case in 1895, 1884 and 1886 and will
only happen once in the next century,
namely, in 1913.

DEaIheur. Trade.

The money has been subscribed
and deposited in the bank for the
purpose of making good road lead
ing from the Weiser ferry towards the
the Malheur country. A great deal
of the trade OF this section will thus
be diverted to Weiser, and to the
larger portion it will be several miles
nearer to come here than to 30 else
where. Those coming here to trade
will be crossed on the ferry for one
half the regular rate, which itself is
very low. This is a move in the
right direction at,ast. When Weiser
begins to reach out her hands to grasp
the trade Of outside sections she is
certain Of prosperity.

Different in weiscr

1t surpasses knowledge how Nampa
can give her third paper over nine
big columns of advertising, when her
larger sister, Weiser, would not give
even one paper near that much We
presume it is the more energetic
spirit of the business men up there,
and we will warrant that they are
doing magnificent business in con
sequence Of their liberal support Of
their newspapers. When you look
in newspaper (the SIGNAL is h5 ex-
ception) always note who are the
largest advertisers as they invariably
carry the largest stock and do the
most business.

The Nampa Leader is on our table.
1t is an eight-column paper and a
welcome exchange. When the
SIGNAL began publication it had the
idea that there was q paper called
the Progress up there and conse-
quently for several weeks a copy went
to Nampa addressed to the ''Progress"
But no Progress did we see and the
SIGNAL ceased travelling in that
direction. Then it was reported that
another paper--the Chief-had started
but it never showed up Then we
began to doubt there being u paper
there. But now we can say that we
know that Nampa has ONE big live
paper-to wit, the Leader.

1t is sincerely hoped that the com

ton for the Seven Devils road large
enough to put the road in good shape
as it is the unanimous wish of the
people who elected them that the
road be built, All are willing to
help, and the Citizen says.
1.-TWO gentlemen who are thor
oughly competent will offer the
county their services as viewers,
free, and will agree to pay the third
viewer, providing they fail to make
a favorable report of the route, thus
saving the county any and all ex-
pense. Could anything be fairer2

THURSDAY, APRIL l6, 1901.
KNOCK 1t i'm the Head.

Tuesday forenoon there entered
our office man whom we could
not remember of ever having seen
before, and until he began talking TO
us we knew not that it was Hon T..
S Jewell with his beard shaved Off.
But that is not the point at all.
What we started to say was that Ed.
told us all about a petition that was
being circulated in the upper country
by Payette parties. The petition
pFays for the establishment of daily
mail route from Payette to the Seven
Devils, and will be sent on to the
postal authorities. Ed told us of one
man, who had signed it, whom he had
asked what the petition contained.
The man said that he did not know
exactly, but that ''it was printed and
had something in about the post
Office. Ii is to be hoped that all
who live in the upper valleys do not
sign a paper without knowing what
it contains. They wonld feel cheap
if they had to send their mail for
the county seat away around by Pay
cite The people of Weiser and
Salubria should get in and knock this
scheme in the head so bad that it won't
be revived again soon.

New Road.

Teller The latest railroad report
is to the effect that new corporation
under the title of the Lewiston and
Southeastern railroad, has been or
gained to extend the Northern Pa
cific branch from here direct into the
Seven Devils country. The work
will be begun at once and pushed
rapidly to head off the line from the
Union Pacific from their lines into
the same region. The object is to
draw the ores from that region to
Spokane. Spokane capital is back
of the movement and it is sure to
go.
The above corresponds with infor-
nation obtained by Mr.. f. S. Jenne
while in the east last month. Mr..
JENNIE was told that agents of the
Northern Pacific railway company
visited the country between Lewiston
and the Seven Devils last season and
will undoubtedly have corps of en-
gineers in the field this spring early.
There is no keeping the Devils back.

way than to cut down the bill of some
poor man, who only asks his just dues,
to little on nothing. 1t has been
illustrated by other counties that u
poor farm is an economy in the care
of county charges. 1t reduces the
number of charges, is self-sustaining,
or nearly so, and often contributes u
good big surplus to the county funds.

Eight mining men from Wood river
and other sections were here Monday
and have gone to the Seven Devils.
A private letter from Long valley
says the snow is still two feet deep in
that valley.
A fine quality of coal is found on
Crane. creek in this county, in paying
quantities.
A gentleman from Milwaukee was
in Salubria Saturday last and perfected
arrangements to put in a brewery at
the Seven DEVILS. He is now at
Portland purchasing his outfit which
he intends to have in running condition
at the Devils within three months.
Levi Allen returned from Boise
City Monday. Mr. Allen is tie
discoverer of the Seven Devils az
has patiently waited and watched
developments in that camp from the
time it was first discovered, and he
thinks the harvest is ripe, and that
within two months from now there
will be the greatest mining stampede
in the Devils ever placed on record.
A gentleman is now at Weiser ex-
aiming the gypsum, recently dis
covered near there, with the intention
of putting in a gypsum plant. There
is no doubt but the quantity and
quality of the gypsum found in this
county are such as will make the
working of it paying business.
Another real-estate deal in this
county comes TO the big ear OF the
everlistening Citizen man. The deal
is for two ranches in Indian valley
