BEDS AND HEALTH.
dence.

As we become more intelligent con-
corning the laws of health we are be-
ginning to realize that the single bed,
designed only for the occupancy of
one person, is as much necessity for
hygienic living as a toothbrush or
napkin is for the individual use of ev-
ery person. All the conditions that
make for health, for rest and for re-
freshing sleep urge its use as pre-
caution against contagious diseases,
impure air and disturbed slumber. If
one is setting up housekeeping and
has all her beds to buy, it will really
cost little more to buy two beds of en-
ameled iron, or of brass and iron, than
one of expensive wood, even includ-
ing the two mattresses and two sets OF
springs that will be necessary. If one
does not like these bedsteads, the sim
gle or ''twin BEDS" as they are called,
are to be had in great variety in woods.
They are designed to occupy little
more space than the old fashioned
double bed and are usually placed in
a room side by side and under one
wide canopy, when a canopy is used.
The canopy is rarely the old fash1on-
ed affair that shut out air and held
dust in the folds of it's heavy drapery.
1t usually projects only over the head
of the beds, and the curtains of wash
able material are draped far back, so
that they do little more than soften
the iron lines without interfering with
the healthfulness. Where two beds
are used instead of one it can not be
denied that more sheets and more
laundry work are necessary, but in
the end seeming extravagances often
prove ones real s.-E.cchGnge.
More than half of a housekeeping
woman's time is spent in worrying
and a good share of the other half in
preparing food, as though the stom-
ach was the immortal part of us. Take
one quarter of the time a woman de-
votes to making pies, preparing pud-
dings, putting up preserves, baking
cakes and frying, ETC., and let her de-
vote it to rest and recreation, and she
would not look like a shred of parch-
ment paper at 40. 1t is the nonessen7
tials that kill us. We must learn to
simplify before we can escape the
doom of premature age. Nature new
er intended us to live as we do. If she |
meant us to eat puff pastry, she would
have grown it on some of her trees.
She has provided simple food in the
shape of cereals, fruits and vegeta-
bles, and if we conformed ourselves
more closely to her established order
of diet we should be a happier and
harder race.

the town of Wallace, Idaho, standing
thereon; and that the sections are in
the midst of a well known mining coun-
try and embraces mineral locations
prior to the survey. and that 1t is not
valuable for agricultural purposes"
After hearing by the local officers
a decision was rendered against the pro-
testants. This decision was affirmed by
the commissioner of the general land Of

reason for disturbing the concurring de-

ONE DECISION HAS BEEN REVERSED

Case of Frank C. Davis Against George
Frazer in Lewiston Dis 'rict.
Washington, D. c., Oct. 20-Secretary
Smith has reversed the decision OF the
commissioner of the general land office
in the case of Frank c. Davis against
George Frazer from the Lewiston, Ida
no, district. Davis contest is dismissed
on the ground that he was not at any
time an actual bona fide settler. and
that he had no intention of making a
home on the land. Mrs Frazers entry
is to stand intact.
Other decisions in land cases are as
follows:
David Ledgerwood vs.. Northern Pa

another entry in lieu thereof.

TERMS WITH CUBAN INSURGENTS
Spanish Minister of Foreign Affairs

quoted as saying it is impossible that
Spain should come to terms with the
Cuban insurgents.

that General divers column defeated

sympathizers with the Cuban patriots

for the purpose of creating more inter-

have been offered the use of the city
hall for their mass meeting.
EX-Assemblyman j. p. Tumulty of
this city is one of the foremost sym
pathizers of the Cubans. He has large
financial interests on the island
To reporter the assemblyman said
"The natives of the island are more
oppressed than We're our forefathers
under the tyranny of Great Britain
Even in times of peace the collectors
who are sent from Spain to extort ad-
ditional taxes from the already over
burdened people may take possession
of Cuban's house and make it their
headquarters. Even the wives and
daughters of these so-called insurgents
are not safe from the presence OF the
Spanish mobiles and hidalgos. In Cuba
there is absolutely no punishment for
a Spaniard. He may do what he likes.
Here almost within a stones throw
of us, figuratively speaking, are weak
people, downtrodden under the heel of a
rotten, tottering monarchy"

PLEASED WITH sHERMAN's BOOK
Cinei matt Newspaper Believes 1t n
Valuable Historical Volume.

Valuable llistol ical Volume.
Cincinnati, Oct. 2O-The Enquirer cd
itorially says: The Enquirer presented
yesterday enough about the new book
by Senator John Sherman 10 indicate
that it is probably the most valuable
contribution to the political history of
this country published for a generation.
Sherman always has been a party man.
but history can not be written like a
campaign document and this historian
can not expect to escape harsh feelings
and perhaps severe criticism If he
writes of the times in which he acted
himself.
Sherman speaks in high terms of the
personality and eloquence of Garfield,
but says he was a man lacking in will
power and changed his opinions easily.
This is faithful picture, expressed in
terms of reserve. Sherman might have
gone farther and only reflected the
views of contemporaneous republican
politicians who had association with
the martyr president and said that
while Garfield was a good stumper and
qualified to act in executive bodies I'M
der direction and restraint he was un-
fit for leadership.
Sherman's book gives some inde-
pendent views touching ex-President
Harrison that may be Of immediate
application, and his criticism Of the
Grant administration will be of service
in teaching the people that under our
system of government all wisdom and
practical knowledge of affairs need not
necessarily be centered in the chief ex-
ecutive. The president of the United
States who undertakes to run every
thing in person is usually the most con-
spicuous failure.

Ous Proceedings.

OuS proceedings.
San Francisco Oct 20-The prosecu-
ton in the Durrant trial has found
witness who will testify that everything
was not right in Emanuel church prior
to the murder OF Blanche Lamont and
Minnie Williams. This witness is a col
ored bootblack by the name of Budd
Wilson. Tonight he was served with a
subpoena and told his story to De-
tective Seymour.
II knew King and Durrant so well
that they talked freely before me-" said
he. AT first l was surprised that such
religious young men should be carry
ing on in such fashion, but after a
while l concluded that they were about
the same as other young men. 1 learned
from these two boys themselves that
they were taking girls to the church
every night. 1 often heard them tell
of the fun they had there and of the
different girls who accompanied them.
l know myself of five girls who used
to go to the church at night with those
boys. The people in the Mission would
be very much surprised If they knew
who the girls were. They all belong to
respectable families and the worst of
it all is that their parents never dream
ed that such things were going on"
District Attorney Barnes has decided
not to introduce any experts on hand
writing in rebuttal. The defense did
not go into this matter as deeply as was
expected, so that there is no real need
Of following up the handwriting ex-
hibits on behalf of the people. Besides,
there is so little writing on the wrapper
and newspaper which enclosed Blanche
Lamont's ring that it would be very
difficult to prove by expert testimony
that it had been written by any par
ticular individual.

SENT AN ULrIM .ruM TO VENEZUELA

legged OutraRes at Uruan.
London, Oct. 19.-The st. James Gax-
cite this afternoon follows up the dis
closures of yesterday regarding the pol
icy of Right Hon. Joseph Chamberlain,
secretary of state for the colonies, to-
wards Venezuela and the apparent de-
termination of the British government
to uphold Its claims by force of arms ~
making the following important state
ment:
1--WE are in position to state that the
Marquis of Salisbury has sent an ulti-
matum to President Crespo which not
only sets out the demands of the Brit
ish government for reparation on ac-
count Of the arrest of the deputation
and inspectors of police at Uruan, but
1t aho states the terms on which Great
Britain will finally determine the boun-
dairy dispute with that republic. The
ultimatum is now en- route to President
Crespo, II not already delivered to
him."
This final action was decided upon
by the Marquis OF Salisbury and Mr..
Chamberlain before the formers recent
holiday in France. Both Salisbury and
Chamberlain are in perfect agreement.
as to the necessity of ending the from
tier dispute, even II Venezuela has TO
be brought to terms by means which
are most effective in reaching an under
standing with the South American re-
public.
The st. James Gazette also publishes
a letter signed Hugh Watt. deploring
the retrograde progression OF British
Guiana, due. 1t Is claimed, to IN at
tempt to bolster up the decaying sugar
cane Industry, but predicting that
Chamberlain's policy will revive its in
dustrial prospects.
NO REPLY AS YET.
The Press Association this evening
announced that the government had
not received a reply to the ultimatum
sent to Venezuela, and that the foreign
office had not even received an intima-
ton that it had been delivered to Presi-
dent Crespo. Probably this accounts
for the fact that the foreign Office will
only confirm the ST. James Gazette
story of the sending of the ultimatum 10
the extent of saying 1t is true that
the Marquis of Salisbury is taking steps
to inform Venezuela that reparatic-. is
required for the Uruan outrages.
POSITION OF THE GAZETTE.
The Westminster Gazette, comment
ing upon the dispatch to the Times
from New York declaring the Joint re-
fusal of European powers to accept the
Monroe doctrine is believed to be in the
Marquis of Salisburys mind, says:
There is no such thing. The Mon
roe doctrine is a matter entirely be-
tween the old country and the United
States, and IL the time ever comes for
Great Britain to take sides on the sub
ject we shall stand with the Americans,
not against them"

IT HAS LONG BEEN IN DISPUTE

Tract in Question Well Covered by BUS.
ness Houses and Dwellings.
This important decision affects that
part of the townsite of Wallace lying
north of the alley between Cedar and
Pine streets and embracing about
third of the town. The disputed land
is we'll covered with business houses
and residences and many of the lots
thereon have sold for from $1,000 to
$2O0O
This land was originally located by
Colonel w. r. Wallace under duplicate
Sioux script issued to a half-breed In
dian named Walter Bourke. The du-
plicate script entry was cancelled by
the land department in 1889 on account
OF the original script having already
been filed upon land in South Dakota.
As soon as this fact became known
all unoccupied lots were settled upon
by squatterS who hoped to get the title
from the government. That part of the
townsite lying south of the alley was
upon an even numbered section and
patent was issued to ]. l.. Dunn as trus-
tee, who decided those lots to settlers
occupying them. That north of the al
ley and upon the odd numbered section
was claimed by the Northern Pacific
Railroad Company and through its
representative at Tacoma, who was
sent to Wallace, it decided or quit-claim-
ed to settlers its interest in all improved
lots excepting a strip of land along the
south side of the river, and four lots
on Sixth street, which were reserved for
right of way and prospective depot
grounds.
Interested settlers on these lots and
strip, and also settlers on the odd num-
bered section who did not see fit to buy
quit claim from the railroad company
had meetings and decided to contest
the matter. The local land office at
Occur dAlene City decided in favor of
the Northern Pacific, as did also the
general land office at Washington, D.
c. The probability of the case being
carried to the supreme court will de-
pend great deal upon the report Of the
government mineral land commission
recently appointed.
