AT the request of some twenty ladies
in Lewiston, Mr.. Woods opened a Uni
versity class in English Literature at
his residence last evening. The subject
selected for reading is Longfellow's
Evangeline, and two hours We're profit
ably spent in reviewing the circum-
stances giving rise to the poem, the in
PRODUCTION to it, and the first few lines
of the poem. The attention of the class
is so directed that the reading of this
poem will serve as general introduce
tion to the study of the English Ian
guage, to its origin and growth; and
the class promises to be not only pleas
ant but very entertaining. Ladies only
are admitted, and the limit to the
number is the ability to accommodate.
The case of the United States VS. Mr..
and Mrs. John Madden, for selling liq.
uor to Indians, was dismissed at Boise
City upon a technica!ity, as the in
dictments failed to state to what reser.
vation the Indians belonged and tc
whom the liquor was sold. The Boise
Statesman says: "John Madden, his
wife and clild have been liberated from
the county Jail, where they had been
held for several days under several in
dictments for having sold liquor to In
dians. Judge Beatty sustained dcmur
rers which had been interposed to tn.
indictment, and the prisoners were dis
charged. United States Attorney Woot
Immediately gave notice Of his excep
ton to the ruling Of the court. He vii
take at least one of the cases to the ap
pel!ate court at San Francisco"

the correct line is supposed to rul
twelve miles west of Spokane. 1t i
twelve miles east of Spokane. My sol
is surveyor of Whitman county, and
think we have pretty good idea Q
the line. When the line was laid il
1878 the surveyors were instructed t
start at given point near the junction
of the Clearwater and Snake rivers
but the point they were to start at ha'
been washed away. What is suppose
to be the correct survey will not, a
Senator Mcconnell states, take in Spc
kane, but it will take in Pullman an
