ORIENTAL LUXURY AT HOME

The wonders of the Orient lay re-
vealed before the eyes of all who care
to see them, and that, too, without it
being necessary to journey to lands
across the seas.
The Oriental never does any more
work than is necessary, and when not
working, his eDgros. ing care is to
make himself comfortable. In many
respects the art of living appears bet
ter understood in the East than in
our bustling Western world.
There is now hardly fashionable
home that has not its Oriental room
or rooms, or at least its coy corner;
sometimes the latter is Japanesque in
effect, sometimes Turkish; but what
ever it is, be sure it Is the result of an
inner craving for the beautiful things
of life.

WINDPIPE SEVERED
Desperate Attempt at Suicide by
A. ChateIie.
IDAHO TEACHERS INSTITUTE


Wallace, Idaho, Dec. 2S.--An attempt
at suicide was made this morning by
Arthur Chatelle, a young man of French
descent, who was rooming in the Ar
ment building on Sixth street. About
10 o'clock yesterday forenoon he was
seen by Mrs. Arment to come from his
room, bloody and haggard looking, and
to fall headlong at the head of the
stairs. Assistance was summoned, and
he was carried to his bed, where it was
found that he had cut his throat some
time previously. Clots and pools Of
blood were on the bed and the floor.
AS soon as a conveyance could be Sc
cured he was taken to Providence hos
pital. DrS. Sims and France found
that the windpipe was completely sew
cred, and that the man had lost about
two-thrds Of his normal quantity of
blood. A hard rubber tube was inserted
in his wlndpipe and stimulants have
been administered at intervals by hy-
podermic injections. His vitality is so
reduced by loss of blood that he is not
expected to recover.
Chatelle is only % years DID, healthy
and vigorous with no bad habits, and
the cause of the suicidal act is entirely
unknown. His parents live in Butte,
Montana. He has been working on a
.aire-near Saltese, Montana, and has
been in Wallace but a short time

Later Reports May BE Even More Fear
ful Than Those at Hand.
Portland, Or, Dec. PA dispatch re-
ceived this morning from klamath
Falls. in reference TO the holocaust at
Silver Lake, says: There were proba-
bly, 1875 people in the hall The panic
stricken ones rushed to the door into
volumes of flame in an endeavor to
escape while others were trampled up
on and forced to their doom by a frantic
rush of people seeking to effect their
escape from the horrible death that
awaited them. Many leaped for life
from the windows, receiving serious, If
not fatal injuries. Others were dragged
out more dead than alive. Later re-
ports may be even more fearful than
those at hand, which state that Al per-
sons were burned to death and five oth-
ers MORALLY injured.
Physicians from Lake View and Pals
ley have gone to minister to the suffer-
ers. The settlers of the surrounding
country are also sending contributions
of money and provisions.
The latest report from the Lakeview
disaster says the hall had only one exit
in the rear of the building, the distance
to the ground being IS feet There was
1876 people in the building and only one
narrow passage between the seats
which was blocked by burning oil or
the floor. The lamp which caused tho
fire held two gallons OF oil. The dead
are mostly women and children. 1t is
said that number of the men were
under the influence of liquor.

$3.50 a week. The executive committee
of the National Boot and Shoe Opera

to the members stating that they do
not intend to accept himlliating condi-

entail a serious struggle, and closes
with the statement that the men might

PANAMA AND COLON WANT FUNDS
May Cease TO Be Free Ports and Impose
"a Duty.

New York, Dec 30.--In reference to
Colon dispatch received Friday night
stating that after the 1st of January
Panama and Colon would cease TO be
free ports and that duty would be col
lected of 10 per cent. ad valorem on all
imports, the officials of Panama say
that while as yet they have received no
notification of The proposed action by
the Colombian government, they have
been advised unofficially that such q tax
was proposed. OF course they said they
would protest against such a tax which.
owing to local conditions, would be very
heavy. on the principle that it would
tend to restrict trade. The opinion was
expressed that If work were actively re-
sumed on the Panama canal as pro
posed it would be absolutely necessary
to import supplies at any cost. But I'M
less this work were resumed it was
likely the trade of the country would
be killed.
The impression in the office of the
Panama Railroad Company was that
the Colombian government was using
every means in it's power to increase it's
revenue in anticipation of resumption
of work on the canal, the development
of internal resources such as mines, etc.
and to have increased resources as pre-
cautionary measures in the event of
possible change in the government.
The published statements that $50, 900
had been appropriated for the transmits
sion of troops was regarded as very sig
nificant of the governments efforts to-
ward preventing any possible trouble.
One proposition made not long ago was
to impose an export tax on bananas, but
this plan was wisely given UP, as 1t
would have killed the industry, which
is the principle one of the country 1t
goes to show that efforts have been
made to increase the country's revenue.
At the Office of the Panama Canal
Company, Mr.. Boyard, who is the rep
resentative of the canal company here,
knew nothing of the proposed tax or
protest of this country. He said, how
ever, that it was possible. in the event
of such tax being imposed, that pro-
test would be issued from the Office of
| the canal company in Paris.

DON'T TRY TO INITIATE STAMPS
It Means Term of Years and a Heav,
Fine.

Washington, Dec. 30.-The opinion of
the solicitor of the treasury to the eff
feet that it is unlawful to have in ones
possession or to use plates for the print
ing of postage stamps in similitude OF
those issued by foreign governments
will be acted upon at once. No more
so called stamp albums, containing
stamps of these kinds will be allowed
to be printed. The cuts from which
these are printed win be seized.
1t is an astonishing fact that the
penalty imposed by law for the coun-
terfeiting OF foreign stamps is much
more severe than for counterfeiting
United States stamps. In the case of
foreign stamps, the penalty is not less
than two or more than 10 years i'm
prisonment while for the counterfeit
ing of United States stamps, the pen
atty is fine of not more than $500 or
more than five years Imprisonment or
both. The United States court might
impose fine of 81 or one days impris-
onment for the violation of our law and
come within the law. while the mini
mum penalty as to foreign stamps is
two years imprisonment.
