POcatelIo Goes Democratic.

PocATELLo, Ida, April Especial tele-
gram TO THE HERALD. The result Of to-
days balloting has commenced to make
itself known. A complete walk over for
the Democrats is the result. During the
day the town was quiet and few were
noticed under the influence of liquor. The
polls closed at p. n. and the counting was
carried on as rapidly as possible since
The total vote polled is GA tn l42
straight Democratic and fifty strai bit Re
publican votes. Tickets were badly
scratched. The Independent party vote
cut but little figure in the result j. M
Bennett for trustee, Tom +. Terrell for
city attorney, and E. G.. Gallet for clerk,
ran considerably ahead of their ticket
The Australian ballot system was a success
here; all are loud in its praise. The result
OF the election is significant from the fact
that the nominees of both parties are
popular and well qualified for their various
offices, and the strong Democratic majority
indicates the ballot was on party issues
and Pocatello is the banner Democratic
town.

Mrs. Montague Gets a Year.

DUBLIN, April Mrs. Montague,
charged with cruelty treating her children
and causing the death of one of them by
tieinC her up by the hands in such way
she strangled to death, was found guilty of
manslaughuer and sentenced to lmprison-
ment for one year at hard labor.
Counsel for defense asked the jury to
avoid the influence of the savage outcry
against the prisoner. She might have made
a mistake in correcting her children under
the stern idea of duty, but that was with
out criminality. The prisoner wept copi-
ously as her counsel proceeded to make
sympathetic appeal to the jury. He
said she was the greatest sufferer
by the death of her children and she was
about TO become a mother of an eighth
child. The verdict was accompanied by a
recommendation for mercy on the ground
that the prisoner believed she could infiu-
ence the children and had acted under a
mistaken sense of duty.

Broadway car pass. As soon as the car
passed him he walked ahead, evidently
falling to see hanson bound down town,
which the car had hidden from view. The
horse attached to the hanson knocked him
down. He said afterwards that he couldn't
explain why he did it, or how, but one of
his feet stuck between the spokes of the
wheel, and feeling that he was caught he
seized another spoke with his hands, and
in an instant, bowling at the top of his
voice, he was going up Broadway like
Ixion, on the wheel while his basket was
scattering flowers at every revolution. A
dozen men who stood in front of the Hoff-
man house started after the hanson, but
the bowls of the captive had already caused
the driver to stop, and the unfortunate man
was released. Beyond a wreuched ankle
and good scare no damage was DONE

The Missouri Arrives ar LIbau.

Especial TO THE HERALD-Examiner Dispatch
LIBAU, Russia, April 4.--The Missouri
arrived here at 2 o'clock yesterday after
noon with her cargo of flour and corn meal
Tor the starving Russians in splendid con-
oltlon after voyage of twenty two days.
The reception of the Missouri was all that
could be desired, showing keen apprecia-
ton of American succor to the stricken
Russians. 1t was evident from the moment
the Missouri arrived in the Baltic port
That the Russian government intended to
cooperate TO the fullest extent in eXpedit-
Ing the welcome food supply to tne suffer
ers. The plan originally conceived for dis
trloutlon OF the flour was found impracti-
cable. The result of the consultation on
part OF Messrs. Edgar, Rive and Phelps,
win Minister Smith was adopted.
VI the plan proposed by Smith for
distributing the cargo, it was seen that his
Suggestions combined most of the advan-
tages possible under the existing condi-
tons. The flour will be distributed en-
urely 10 the satisfaction of the American
committee. The rivers are still unnavig-
able, so they cannot be used for the trans
portation of the flour. The Volga, which
flows through some of the distressed dis
tricts, is sheeted with ice. The Russian
government at once placed all its railroad
vehicles at the disposal of the American
commission for transportation of the cargo.
A railroad runs from Libau to st. Peters
burg, from there to Moscow, from which
central point of the Russian empire lines
go north, east, west and far south to the
Sea of Azov Work was Immediately
begun to unload to the cargo. 1t is ex-
pected that the first relief train of Ameri-
can -four will start for the interior this

heartiest good will been shown by the
authorities, but they are assisting the
American commission in every way to
carry out the plan for the distribution of
the flour which the commission has itself
formed.

point is the City of Mexico, and he set out
with the determination to make every foot
of the route on his bicycle. The

will take him through the stricken regions
of the states of Coahuila and Durango. He
will at all times keep as far distant from
railroads as the country thoroughfares and
Indian trails will permit, and will cross the
Sierra Madre range of mountains at Santa
Teresa. These mountains are very high
and almost inaccessible, and inhabited by
Delera Humeres Indians. Mr. Praeger
will spend some time among the savages
From that region he will travel west to

from the latter place will be along the
coast through the state of JaIisco 10 Col

name in state of eruption. and thence
straight to the City of Mexico through the
rich coffee districts of Michocau. 1t will
