Hon. George L. Shoup was,
March z, on the fifty second bal
lot, elected to succeed himself in
the United States senate for a
period of six years.
The election of Senator Shcup
was brought about when six of
the southeastern members, who
had supported Sweet from the
first, went over to Shoup. This
gave him q votes, just enough
to elect with the absentee, Han
rahan, of Custer county.
The southeastern members
who went to Shoup were Clark,
Parkinson, Rounds, Smith, Wal
ker and Thomas.
The detailed vote was as fol-
lows:

When the joint assembly was
called to order, Mccarthy, of
Custer, demanded call of the
house for the purpose, presum-
ably, of securing the presence of
Hanrahan, who it is said was alb
sent on account of sickness. The
speaker ruled him out of order,
holding that the time had arriv-
ed when the members of the leg
islature were called upon to meet
in joint assembly and ballot for
United States senator. McCar-
thy appealed from the decision,
but the speaker refused to enter
tain the appeal.

They have a freak in Vienna,
Austria, which puzzles all the
medical men. She is 10 years of
age, we'll formed, and was born
of ordinary parents. She is
strong, and more athletic than a
monkey. Her skin has a fur
thicker than that of an ape. Her
arms are very long and reach to
the knees. Her parents lived in
the Wiener Valid" at her birth,
and in her younger years she
would climb trees and swing
from limb to limb like amonkey.
Correspondents seem to think
that she is the human marvel of
the age. She has been educated
sufficiently to talk some in sew
eral languages.

Representative McCarthy's bill
to locate the school of mines at
Challis, passed the House by a
large majority-22 to H.. but it
was not brought up in the Sen
ate, as "His Majesty" Governor
Mcconnell, gave notice that he
would veto the bill if it should
come up to him. He claimed
that the legislature had reached
the constitutional limit on APP
preparations. He vetoed the Re-
form School appropriation; the
two Normal School appropria-
tions, and would like to have
got side-blow at Agricultural
College, but this bill was not
voted on in the Senate, but on
the other hand, instead of estab-
fishing schools in Idaho, he APP
proves a $4,000 appropriation
bill for giving bounty on kill
ing muskrats, chipmunks, etc.
One thing is apparent to all, and
that is, Governor. Mcconnell is
for Moscow, first, last and all
the time, and anything or any
State institution to be located
elsewhere meets his disapproval.
He is not the peoples champion,
but Moscow's governor, and he
will be remembered as such by
people of Custer county. We
are pleased to see the State I'm
iversity at Moscow thrive, and
can point to it with pride, but as

:. On the last ballot the Populists

On the last ballot the Populists
cast fourteen votes for A. j..
Crook. One of their number,
Hanrahan, of Custer, was absent.
Had he been present there would
not have been an election on the
first ballot, and might not have
been today. The absent senator
claims to be sick. We will not
say anything about the circum-
stance at this time, through fear
that we might do the man injus-
tice, but just now he is resting
under a very dark cloud. We
hope he may be able to clear it
way.-Boise Sentinel, March7.
We regret very much that such
an article should have been pub
lished in the Sentinel We can
but think such suggestion saw
ors of a stab in the house of
his friends. Surely the Sentinel
should not intimate such thing
without it knew something defin-
tie. We would scorn to believe
such monstrous error as bribery
in one of our friends until the
proof was positive. We would
have none of it. We do not be-
lieve word of it. For we have
no friend SO near or so dear that
we would not spurn him as we
would a loathsome leper, if we
found he would tarnish his soul
with a bride as legislator. I'm
doubtedly Mr.. Hanrahan was
either too sick to attend the last
days balloting or too Indifferent
as to results to interest himself
further in this expressive and I'M
wise contest. That the election
has gone to please or displease
any one is naught, here or there.
The Sentinel, during his contest,
has always claimed that the
Populists should take no part in
behalf of any candidate in the
Republican party, and has been
equally denunciatory in it's re-
marks as to the useless, continu-
ed and expensive waste of legis-
lative hours. What, we ask,
would more speedily end this
farce than for the Populists to
step aside and let the Republi-
cans decide their own troubles.
And, although the Democrats
have not asked our advice, it
would have been: That for their
own responsibility they would
have been wise to have refrained
from taking Republican part.
1t was not their battle. But
corruption--if at all-has not fall
len on Populist grounds alone.
Men higher in rank than State
senators, areimplicated, if any, and
are equally guilty and dishonor-
ed. And others could more
reasonably be suspicioned.

TROUBLES OF JEZNOTS.

In the proceedings. which We're heard
yesterday before Judge Gunster.
The JeZnots lived near the North
west colliery, in Fell township, and
conducted boarding house. Mike
Kinsh was one of their boarders. He
bundled his baggage between two days
last October and bought a ticket for
New Philadelphia, Schuylkill county.
In the latter part OF the same month
Mrs. JeZnots left her husband and went
to New Philadelphia, too. She brought
with her $50 in cash, which her hus-
band alleges belonged to him. But she
denies that the money was his; that 1t
was her own and she claimed to have
earned 1t as part of the profits Of run
ming the boarding house. She gave as
her reason for going away that her nus
band illtreated her. He scoifed at this
allegation and furthermore said she
had no money of. her own, that no
dividends We're ever declared IN the
boarding house business.
She set up a lodging house In the
Schuylkill region and kinish came to
board with her. JeZnots hired Detec-
tive =. II. McKeever to bring her back.
She was brought back and Kinish was
brought along, also. She was charged
as above stated and Kinish with forni-
hpfnrn
tice of the Peace Glen, of Fell, who
committed them to Jail.
Judge Gunster ordered Mrs. Jeznots
to be released on the ground that the
indictment did not specify how much
money was stolen. She became her
own recognizance in the sum of 5000.
At the depot she met Je2nots and re-
turned home with him. Attorney Col

MISS MACuRDY'S FAREWELL.
She said Good bye to Fifteen Hundred of
Her Friends Last Night.


Over 1900 friends of Miss, Bertha
Macurdy were present at the rooms of
the Young Women's Christian associ-
alton, on Wyoming avenue, last even
ing, where a farewell reception was
rendered the popular retiring secretary,
under the auspices Of the board Of man
agement.
Early in the evening young ladies
from all portions of the city flocked
into the spacious rooms, and as many
as could be accommodated were ush-
cred into the large concert hall, where
q meeting was held under the presiden-
cy of Mrs. Ezra II. Ripple, who, in a
brief address, referred to the object of
the meeting. She warmly commended
the eminent services rendered by Miss
Macurdy to the association. Rev.
Richard Horns Offered a prayer in
fervent language, in which he besought
the blessings of the Almighty upon the
retiring secretary.
Mr.. Dickson's Remarks.
President \. w. Dickson, Of the
Young Mems Christian association, in
joining in the acknowledgment of Miss
Macurdy's services, referred to the
dual nature of the work of both asso-
Citations, and their righteous demand
for rort from business men. He
urged that there was no necessity TO
explain or apologize for the work or its
needs, as they were SO well known. He
emphasized the fact that the associa-
tions did not beg for money, but they
presented their needs and expected ap-
probation of their work. The Young
Women's association was greatly
blessed in it's presidents-Mrs. L. NJ.
Gates and Mrs. Ripple-and in the Sec
retary, and on behalf of the Young
Mems Christian association he extend
ed their best wishes for her future sue
cess and happiness in whatever field she
might labor.
Mrs. L. NJ. Gates, in an impressive
address, referred to the circumstances
under which Miss Macurdy had taken
charge Of the work, and how, under her
administration, they had organized in
the new rooms, opened the South Side
branch, new lunch room, gymnasium
and other. departments, and that the
membership had increased from 450 to
700 during the four years Miss Macurdy
was in charge. During the first of
these years 5000 visits wse made an
nually to the rooms, whereas now 10000
visits were paid each year, thus afford
ing an indication Of the growth of the
work during this period.
Addresses were also made by Miss
Dunn, state secretary; Colonel +. L.
Hitchcock, and Rev. w. G.. Partridge.
The Joseph Haydn orchestra gave Sc
lections during the evening. All the
guests were entertained in the refresh
ment rooms by the entertainment com

The All Star Speciality company
opened a three days engagement at
Davis theater yesterday afternoon.
They give one of the best vaudeville
entertainments ever seen at that house
and greatly pleased those who saw
them yesterday afternoon and evening.
The Baileys do some wonderful work
on roller skates and Minnie Ardell
proved herself more than ordinarily
good contortiOnist. One of the fea-
lures of the performance was the aero
batic work of Eddie O'Dell, attired as
a tramp. The Lovenburg sisters are
very clever in their songs and dances.
These are only few of the many per-
formers who appear.
Today the receipts of the house will go
to swell the treasury of the board of
Associated Charities.
