SENATOR sHOUP WINS,
The First Governor of the State O
Idaho Returned to the Senate.


Idaho Returned to the Senate.
Senator George L. Shoup was reelected
United States Senator on the first ballot
at Boise, Idaho, yesterday, after long
deadlock, which nearly resulted in leaving
the seat vacant. The vote was: Shoup 81;
Sweet, u; Crook, IA; absent, 1; necessary
to a choice, %.
The election was brought by six of the
Sweet men voting for him, and securing
one populist absentee. If the populist had
been present Senator Shoup would not have
had majority of the votes cast. The
election was the result Of twenty-five re-
publican votes, two democratic, and one
populist absentee.
After the first change to Shoup Repre-
sentative Henry of Kootenai county made
speech explaining his own vote, in which
he directly charged that Doodle had been
used In the senatorial contest. This Gre
ated brief sensation, and the representa-
tive stated that changes had been effected,
as the result Of bribery and corruption.
There was great excitement over the re-
suit, crowds at the capitol shouting them
selves hoarse.
George l.. shoup was born in Armstrong
county, Pa, in 1886. All the education that
he received was that afforded at a village
school. He settled on a farm near Gales
burg Illinois, in 1852, but in 1856 went
to Pixies Peak in search of gold. He made
great mark in the Colorado Independent
Scouts during the civil war, in fighting the
Indians, and retired from the service a
colonel.
He then went to Idaho, engaged in trade,
served in the territorial legislature, was
delegate in Congress and was made a
territorial governor by President Harrison.
He was elected the first governor of the
state of Idaho. He was next chosen United
States Senator, and as governor signed his
own credentials fory his new office.

Had to DeJWatched.

Daniel F. colenan,gg.a timer, who is
victim of the morphine habit and who also
indulges in little strong drink, was ar
rested last night snd locked up at the po-
lice station becarse his conduct at home
had made life miserable for other members
of his family. He1takes the morphine, he
says, because he has the neuralgia Of the
stomach. and wheh he drinks liquor he gets
excited. His arrest last night was made on
a charge that he had struck two of his
children, and Officer Morgan, who made the
arrest, had considerable trouble with him.
Last night while locked up he caused the
officers considerable anxiety by pretending
that he wanted to commit suicide. His
first attempt was made in novel way.
He filled his hat with water from the closet
and put his face in 1t in pretended effort
to drown himself. This action on his part
did him no harm, and later he stuffed his
hat in the bowl and flooded the place. Fol-
lowing this he made a moose of his sus-
penders and when he heard an officer COM
ing suspended himself from the cross
beam and had to be cut down. This morn
ing the case was heard in the Police Court

SOMETHING NEW IN WHIST.
IL Bids Fair to Become Popular In
Social Circles.

~ DAus F01f To become Popular In
Social Circles.
A novel departure from the old-fashion-
ed game Of whist, and one which bids fair
TO become popular. is being tested by a
club Of sixteen members, says the Balti-
more American.
TIE game Is called compass whist. and
owes its origin to the inventive genius of
one or more members Of the club. The
main object is to eliminate the element of
memory which has become such a strong
factor in the game of duplicate whist. I'm
like duplicate whist, the same partners
never play a hand but once.
The players are divided into north, south,
east and west After a given number of
hands are played. say three or four they
are passed on and played by another set
of players. The north and south remain
at the same tables the entire play but the
east and west move in the opposite direc-
ton to the hands.
At the call of time, each north and south
couple will have played with each east and
west, and will also have played each north
and south hand once. The north and south
couples can score against each other the
object being to make the highest score on
the same hands. Twenty-Five hands are
played each evening, and the best total
average at the end Of the series will win
the tournament.

LATE SPORTING NEW S
REFORMS IN FOOT BALL.

SuggestiOns by EG-Captatn EmmOns
of Harvard.
'1f the game Of foot ball fs to continue.
writes ex-Capt. Emmons in the Harvard
graduates magazine, "the colleges must
begin It's reformation Immediately. The
needed reforms must be conducted along
these lines: Reduction Of the excessive
training, reduction of the notoriety. pub
licity and expenditure, and elimination Of
the Objectionable features of the game
itself.
1.-THE umpires and referee should be en-
powered to disqualify without appeal. while
the referee is to decide exclusively all
questions relating to the ball.
THE umpireS should decide questions re-
lating to the men, subject to the casting
vote of the referee. One umpire should
stand at the end Of the rush line to watch
of-side play, while the other stands be-
hind those who have the ball in their
pc session to watch holding by the ruShers
in line or Interference.
The results Of experience and the proofs
of statistics all go to show that injuries
result very seldom from interference. most
of them being caused by runners and
tacklers meeting In the field.
Regarding the fair catch" Mr.. Emmons
proposes this rule: "a player who tries
any catch on the fly attempts fair catch.
and must not be interfered with or tackled.
If the attempt is successful he Is entitled
to a free kick or down on the spot, or he
may pass the bali back Immediately to any
of his own side to rush or kick
To low tackling and pilipg on he attrib-
utes many Of the injuries, and suggests
that the rules against them be rfgidiy
epforced. For all tackling below the knees
twenty-five yards should be given, and In
case the tackling is deliberate the man
should be dismissed from the field
AS remedy for brutality the penalty
should be immediate disqualification for
the game.
This disqualification should last for a
year at least, unless revoked by the ath-
letic committees of two colleges =
VI course no amount of ruling will do away
with viciousness. That can onIy he done
by the spirit Of fair play instilled into the
men by the captains and coaches"
There should be no delay longer than q
minute for any cause whatsoever. Any
player not recovering in that time should
be ruled of the field and snot allowed to
return,

quarters for the horses yet to arrive will
have to be constructed. Fifteen stakes
will be run for during the meeting. the
principal Of which is the Virginia Handi-
cap. at a mile and a furlong. It will be
worth $1,000 to the winner. This event will
be one of the best races ever seen in this
vicinity, as 1t seems certain that among the
contestants will be such high-class per-
formers as Sir Walter, Song and Dance
LeonaweIl, Ed. Keerney. Roche Dutch
Skater, Lochinvar, Captain T., Leonardo

quality high.
Mr.. Belmont's horses will not leave Long
Island, where they are being trained until
Thursday. There will be sixteen in the
string.

rive from st. Louis on Tuesday.

head, is also expected on Tuesday.
Nearly thousand yards of sand from
cameron run nave Deen spread over the
st. Asaph track, and the horsemen now
pronounce it one of the best tracks in the
country. Last fall complaint was made
that 1t was too hard.
As there has been no winter racing In
the vicinity of New York or Philadelphia,
the turf delegations from those cities are
expected to be unusually large; and as
bookmaking is tabooed in New York state

THE INCOME TAX.
Arguments Against Its C0nstitutional-
ity in the Supreme Court.

Arguments Against Its COnstitutional-
ity In the Supreme Court.
Arguments we're commenced in the Unit
ed States Supreme Court late yesterday
afternoon upon the cases brought to test
the constitutionality of the income tax law.
Mr.. W. D. Guthrie. one Of the counsel
for the appellants,first addressed the court
in opposition to the tax. He devoted him.
self to a review of the grounds upon which
the appeal had been taken. and attempted
to show the unconstitutionality of the in
come tax law because of its discrimina-
tions in favor Of individuals and certain
corporations
Mr.. Guthrie outlined the argument pro-
posed to be made by the counsel for the
appellants, and had not concluded when
the court at o'clock, adjourned for the
principally upon showing that the present
income tax law Is unconstitutional be-
cause of Its want of uniformity, and quot
ed at length from the provisions of the
law to show that the tax Is not uniform,
contending that Congress had no right IN
der the Constitution to levy tax, duty,
excise or import which was variable or
lacking in uniformity as to individuals or
corporations because it was the funda-
mental rules that burdens in these respects
should be equally upon all alike.
Mr.. Guthrie asserted that the provisions
of the law exempting all Incomes under
&f,OVV "ouiu CdtSe II " idi upoii Aeoo 'iiaAI
per cent of the population of the United
States, and the law was. therefore. class
legislation. He also showed that the tax
was not uniform as regards corporations,
Of which a favored class were exempted,
as, for instance. mutual insurance compa-
nies and building associations. as well as
partnerships and religious and benevolent
institutions.
As illustrative of the effect of the opera
ton of the law, he pointed out that an in
dividual owning real estate bringing an in
come of 5000 would pay $50 tax. while
corporation would be required TO pay dou-
BILE that amount. He also instanced the
case Of q partnership of five persons doing
business amounting to $4,000 a year.
which would be required to pay no tax.
while a corporation composed Of the same
persons would be compelled to pay s4OO.
In word, he said, the application of the
law would vary according to ownership.
