being called on to perform the mar
riage ceremony joining VIM. Wag-
ner, now held in the county jail to
await trial on a charge Of burglary,

The ceremong is the last chapter of
an interesting story. Wagner was
formerly resident of western Ore
gon. where he met his wife, young
girl. They loved and decided to
wed, that part of heir program
meeting with decided opposition
from the young woman's parents.
The couple concluded to get along
without the parental blessing and
content, each signed an agreement
of marriage, supposing that this
was all that was necessary. They
moved to Whitman county, where
a baby was born. The girls father
hearing of Wagner's arrest, came
here and learning that the marriage
contract had never beer recorded,
explained the matter to Wagner
and a marriage ceremony was de
cided on. Mrs. Wagner contends

she will wait for his release.

THE RED MANS BANK.

In the process of adjusting resi-
dences on the reservation to the
allotments of the respective owners,
it became necessary for one old In
dian couple to move from the old
log hut that had been landmark
since The days of mines and miners,
saws the Lewiston Teller. Those
old Nez Perez patriarchs would not
consent to live in a modern house
and leave the abode of decaying
logs. 1t became necessary remove
the structure to the new site to con-
sole the old folks, SO it was decided
to make play of the work. All the
neighbors, including two white men,
repaired to the scene one day last
week and proceeded to tear down
the cabin and remove it across the
line, only few yards distant. The
old couple watched the work very
closely and directed the movements
of some friends who were assisting
in the matters of particular personal
interest. 1t developed that the old
hut was a veritable treasure box.
There was money in every crevice
and niche of the old logs. Before
the last log was removed over $4,000
had been gathered into an old flour
sack. There were deposits of gold
dust in old auger holes, greenbacks
in the season cracks and coins
stuffed into hollow ends and knot
holes of the logs. This old hut had
been the repository Of the two In
dams in the long past when they
had sold cattle, horses and farm

BEANS AS A CROP.

G. E. Whistler expects to have
one hundred bushels of beans this
season. He is thinking of planting
his whole ranch to this crop next
season, which he figures will bene-
fit the land just as much as sum-
mer following and at the same time
will be as profitable as a wheat
crop.
He and his brothers made a bean
planter last winter that works to
perfection, and he is thinking of
making thresher and a machine
to pull them next winter. He had
his crop pulled by contract this
season, paying $40 an acre, and
the men who pulled them made
good wages at that. His yield will
be ten or eleven bushels pc" acre,
which even at that present low
price of beans, $50 per bushel, is
better than wheat.-Garfcld En-

GOFF LOSES HIS HOMESTEAD

the Spokane land office in the case
of Edward E. Siegel against II. w.
Golf Of this city regarding a much
disputed homestead near Pine City,
in the northern part of the county,
says the Commoner. The decision
is in favor of Edward E. Siegel and
declares that the homestead entry
of H. w. Golf, made November 10,
1890, is cancelled, and that the
preference right Of entry is given to
Siegel.
The land in question is the south
east quarter of section thirty four,
township twenty-One north, range
forty-two east and has become no
torious in the historw Of the land
cases in this part Of the county.
Golf shot and killed Whitney Hart
in self defense some seven or eight
years ago. He has since never
dared to live in the neighborhood of
Pine City because of the intense
feeling against him, and immedi-
ately after the trouble he left his
homestead and removed to this city.
Over two years ago John W. Har-
man filed a contest against GoH's
homestead, but Golf won the con
test on the ground that he had been
prevented from living there Dy the
danger to his life. some time ago
Edward E. Siegel, son of Alexander
Siegel who now serves term IN the
penitentiary at Walla Walla as the
result of being an active leader in
the strife and bloodshed that was
rife at the time of Harris shooting,
filed on the same claim and this
time Golf loses his title by the de-
clsion above referred to. In rem
dering this decision the register and
receiver say that while it might
have been unsafe two years ago no
evidence had been offered to show
that it is now unsafe for Golf to live
on the homestead.
Nv e are of the opinion" said the
officers that at the time Mr.. Golf
abandoned the land it was not safe
for him to live upon 1t, but we can
not see how we can decide that the
land has not been since abandoned.
Mr.. Golf states that he is still afraid
to live upon the land, but there is
no testimony whatever to show that
the contestee ever attempted to re-
side upon the land or comply with
the government laws since he left
it. and the testimony of Mr.. Golf
and his witnesses is to the effect
that no attempt has been made by
the entryman to reside upon the
land, cultivate or improve it or in
any way to comply with the home
stead laws during the past two
years. The persons whom Mr.. Golf
alleges he is afraid would do him
codily injury are Lewis, Hunter,
Hart, Siegel and Mrs. Lewis. Of
these Hart is dead, Hunter has
served term in the penitentiary
and does not now live in this sec
ton Of the country, and Siegel and
Lewis are in the penitentiary, leav-
ing only Mrs. Lewis to prevent Mr..
Golf from residing upon and cult
waiting his homestead at the pres
ent time.
"For this reason the entry of Golf
is cancelled and Edward E. Siegel
is allowed the preference right of
entry"

An American lady travelling in Hol
land writes that Melchcrs, the Detroit
artist who won the Paris exposition
prize in 1889 and has since enjoyed ex-
traordnary vogue on the continent, is
quite unspoiled by the honors heaped
upon him. Though he has dined with
the German emperor he still wears a
peasant blouse and wooden shoes on
the plea that he is too poor for any
thing better. When he went to dine
with the wife Of the burgomaster Of a
Holland town he appeared in this CO.'S

rain. He apologized, not for the
clothes, but for the fact that they were
wet. and maintained that it was the
only suit he had. His hostess there
upon provided him with dry suit OF
her husbands.

Eleven years ago George Newnes was
a young brass-finisher in a factory at
Manchester, England. He possessed
some literary ability and remarkable
business tact. He conceived the idea OF
a small penny paper for the masses, to
be called It'd Bits. He borrowed a
hundred pounds from friend and is
sued the first number Of It'd Bits. a
weekly paper. Its success in Manches
ter was SO apparent from the first that
Newnes removed to London. There
It'd Bits became popular and prosper
GUS in few months. From a poor
brass fnisher Newnes soon became the
proprietor OF an immense publishing
house. Two years ago he started the
Strand Magazine, which, like It'd Bits,
was an instantaneous success. In eleven
years George Newnes has made re-
markable record. Today he Is a mil
lionaire and a member of parliament.

'The Kahn" is the signature ap-
pended by an erratic Canadian jour-
nalist to poems and sketches that have
given him a wide reputation through
out the Dominion. He is poet of the
people as distinguished from the poets
of the magazines, and before taking to
journalism he was for many years en-
gagged in farming. Many of his verses
have the directness and simplicity that
characterize the work of Riley, and at
his best The Khan writes true poet
ry. Like every poet engaged in jour-
nalistic work. however, he writes too
much, and the badness of his worst
productions is something lamentable;
but at his best he has a command of
humor, pathos. and homely sentiment
that entities him to the high esteem
in which his work is held by many.

"Evangeline." His father was a mer-
chant Of Baltimore. and in that city, on
Jan. /, 1899, the poet was born. One of
his earliest teachers, Professor Clark,
had formerly been a tutor of Edgar AL
Ian Poe, and up to 1885 was still living
in Baltimore at the age OF 80. In 1919
young Randall entered the old Jesuit
college in Georgetown. Before his
graduation, however, circumstances
obliged him to abandon his studies, and
after a brief experience in Baltimore
book store, and a term of service as a
teacher in the wilds OF Florida, he
drifted to New Orleans, where he filled
position as clerk in a merchants ship
ping office.

verses are There's Life in the Old
Land Yet "Stonewall Jackson" and
