some of the accomplishments whose
value is felt only in the domestic circle
arc entirely neglected. 1t is more than
likely that not one of the young women
thus instructed could take a prize in
a county fair for patch viewlessly
set in, or for darning so fine as to no
an ornament instead of the repair of q
blemish, as their great-aunts use to do;
yet most of them can do the most won

gold and silver threads for tnble-scarfs
and tray-cloths and the like.
These charming accomplishments Of
theirs are all very we'll and greatly to
be desired, but they are as mere dust

added skill and practice in sewing q

telling and hem-stitch. In reality, the
art of plain sewing-for even with
tucking and inserting and edging
the stitches are all those of
plain sewing-is an absolutely nee
essary one at the present day
for those who desire very nice under
clothes without paying an immoderate
price for them. The sewing Machine
has not been an invention of unmixed
good, and much of the work it turns
out is fragile, easily ripped. strung
with loose ends, and without always
nicely turned corners. When its work
is entirely satisfactory it is expensive;
and those who have fancy for pretty
underwear must either buy the expen

The hens are very fond of scratching
in the manure heap, in order to secure
the swollen grain that may have passed
through the animals, and if a certain
quantity of manure is placed where
they can work it over every day, they
can be made serviceable, and the work
will benefit them, to say nothing of
the waste material they will utilize.
AS the hens will render the manure
very fine, the handling and spreading
of it will be easier, and in all cases
where they can be put to such service
the opportunity should not be lost.

San Francisco, Oct. 12.-Mrs. Leland
Stanford has won another victory from
the government, this time in the court Of
appeals The decision handed down today
was signed by United States Circuit
Judge Gilbert and by United States Dis
trict Judges Morrow and HaWley. 1t is
given on the appeal taken from the pre-
vious order Of Judge Ross sustaining the
demurrer of Mrs. Stanford to the suit
brought against her to recover $l5, 337, 900
alleged to be due the government from
her husbands estate on account of Cen

Held U p an Indian Trader al d
Secured $500.
THEY FLED IN THE DARKNESS
The Trader pursues Them in an All
Night Ride OF Sixty Miles by
Moonlight.

Juliaetta, Idaho, Oct. 12.-Indian
Trader H. M. Jorgens arrived here this
forenoon, after an all night ride from
Kamiah on the Nez Perez reservation,
bringing news of a daring and sue
cessful robbery which occurred at his
store there at 7:30 last evening.
At that hour three masked men came
into the store. Two entered from the
front door, and one came in through
the back rooms, which are occupied by
Mr.. Jorgens and his family as living
apartments. The latter drove Mrs.
Jorgens and a sick woman into the
store, thus rounding up all the Occu-
pants of the house.
At the time Mr.. JOTgens and his
clerk were in the store He Identified
one of the robbers as a man who mad
been stopping with him for two days,
and his first thought was that it was
a coarse joke. But he was soon I'M
deceived. This man had gone out and
brought in his two companions who had
been concealed in the brush, his appear
ance at the store having been for the
purpose of learning the surroundings,
locating the valuables, and selecting
the most OppOrtune time for the hold
up.
The robbers were armed with a
double-barreled shotgun and two re-
vOlvers, and as they came into the room
they ordered all present to throw up
their hands. They then took $500 in
money, $1,000 of which had been de-
posted by Indians with Mr.. Jorgens
for safe keeDirg, six golG watches,
tray of gold rings, a shotgun and
rifle.
They then backed out of the room,
mounted horses and rode away in the
darkness.
Mr.. Jorgens Immediately organized
for the pursuit, and in a little while
10 Indians were securing the country.
It is believed that the thieves headed
for the Palouse country, and Mr.. Jor-
gems followed them all night, arriving
here at II o'clock this morning. On
reaching this place he Immediately tel
egraphed to the sheriffs at Moscow and
Lewiston. 1t is believed that the alarm
has been 20 thoroughly sounded that
the robbers will be unable to escape.

THE xAMlA4 ROBBERS INTERCEPTED
An Exchange Of Shots Results in the
Retreat Of the Officers.

An Exchange Of Shoes Results in the
Retreat Of the Officers.
Lewiston, Idaho, Oct 13,-The report
has Just reached here that the robbers
who held up the Kamiah sub-agency
were intercepted by a small pursuing
Darty in the Red Bird canyon 10 miles
from Snake river, and that an @X-
change of shots resulted in the retreat
of the officers.
Great excitement prevails and re-
newed efforts are being made to close
every avenue of escape. The pOstofiice
was also robbed of money and stamps
and the United States authorities are in
pursuit of the depredatOrs.
Mr.. Jorgenson followed the trail Of
the highwaymen some 20 miles in the
direction of Sweetwater and it is judg-
ed that they have headed for the breaks
of Snake river near the mouth of
Grande ROnde. This is an uninhabited
rugged mountain district and has been
the resort of desperate men on other Oc-
casions. In fact it is reported that
horse thieves and desperadOes rendeZ-
vous there nearly all the time. Some
cold bloOded crimes have been commit
ted in that region and the stock that
has been stolen by these gangs would
amount to a kings ransom. The whole
sale murder Of Chinese miners in that
section some years ago, crime that
went unpublished furnishes one page of
the black history Of the supposed resort
of the perpetrators of this last des-
perate crime.

DzBATE ON VENEZUELAN MATTER

4 Report Expected From Congressional
Committee Before Holiday Recess.
Washington, Oct. 13.-The manner in
which the Venezuelan matter is to be
brought before congress has been out
lined in a general way by those who
have been most interested in the sub
ject. This will be by means of a resOlu-
ton to be introduced, it is probable on
the first day of the session. 1t will
provide for the appointment of COM
luittee of six, three from the senate
and three from the house, to consider
the entire question and to report as
to the rights and obligations of the
United States, and the course desirable
for this government to take.
This resolution, it is said, will not
delay the speedy determination of the
attitude of the United States. The pur~
pose is to have all necessary material
in the way of historical data ready
for the committee as soon as it is APP
pointed, and it is expected a report
will be made to both branches OF con-
gress before the holiday recess.

WaIIa WaIIa Murderer Brough
Before Judge Upton.
MOTION FOR A LONG STAY
His Attorneys Hold That lie Cannot
BE Tried Until His Present
Sentence Expires.

Walla Walla. Wash, Oct. 14-The
case of the state VS.. d. x Benson, alias
William Harrison, on the charge Of
murder in the first degree, came up in
the superior court this afternoon Ben
son stabbed William Ellis. a convict,
while working in the jute mill last
July, intlicting wounds from which the
latter died about an hour afterward.
At the time but meager particulars
could be obtained for publication and
at the preliminary hearing just enough
testimony was brought out to hold
Benson over to the superior court. At
that time it was believed that Benson
and other prisoners had formed a COM
pact to do away with Ellis, and tkat it
fell to Benson's lot to do the job. Al
though Ellis received three fatal knife
wounds diligent search at the time of
the murder failed to disclose the Weap-
on. 1t is now thought the prosecuting
attorney has the weapon with which
ELLIS was killed and some startling evil
dence is expected
Shortly after O'Clock this afternoon
Benson was brought from the peniten-
tiary heavily ironed by the prison Off
ciaIs, and walked into the court room
followed by his attorneys Moffett and
Dawson; then came Mrs. Benson
mother of the accused. Benson appear
ed in the usual bra2en manner, very in
different and did not seem to realize
he was soon to be placed on a trial
which would determine the length Of
his life. Immediately after arriving
in the court room BensOn's attorneys
moved for a continuance until the cX-
piration of the present term Benson is
serving in the penitentiary for grand
larceny, which would terminate July 25,
1900, for the reason that the court had
no Jurisdiction. Attorneys MOffett and
Dawson contended that other states
had laws providing for the punish
ment of crimes committed by cOnyicts
serving sentence but the state of
Washington had none, hence the court
had no jurisdiction until Benson had
served his present sentence.
Prosecuting Attorney Ormsbee and
associate, w. T. DOvell claimed that
while this state had no statute touch
ing upon such cases as on trial the law
expressly provides that no person shall
have any immunity from the law, and
there is no reason why q person in the
penitentiaTy charged with crime should
not be granted the same privileges for
a speedy trial as any other person.
Judge Upton took the matter under ad-
Visement and will render a decision to-
morrow.
OTHER CASES.

tiary, was pardoned today by Governor

conduct and sufficient punishment were
the grounds for the pardon
