COL. TRUEsDELL INDoRsED.
Civic Center FavoIs His Retention
on Board of commissioners

The center council Of the Civic Center
met yesterday i'll the southwest parlor Of
the First Congregational Church, Rev.
DIR. Newman, president, in the chair.
the only matter of public interest con-
sidered was tile inCoI sement Of Col Trues-
dell for reappointment as Commissioner.
The resolution requesting the council to
recommend Col. Truesdell was introduced
by Mr.. w. +. Willoughby, who explained
that it has 10 political significance what
ever. The Civic Center was, he said,
an organization whose chief object was
to promote good government, and as Col
Truesdell has displayed great zeal in this
direction, doing all within his power for
the advancement of the public interest,
he did not think it going beyond the scope
of the organization to ask Tor his re-
tent,on. The City, he said, wanted PRO
gressive, IS well as coed, government,
and lie thought this step IN the nght
direction to attain that end.
The resolution was amended asking for
a committee of three TO call on the Presi-
dent and make known the wish OF the
council. The committee is Rev. Dr.. New
man, DR.. Eckleston, and Mr.. Wiiioughby.
Mr.. George A. Warren was chosen secre-
tary and Mr. w f. Wiiloughby chairman of
the committee on streets and alleys
Miss Katherine Hosmer read a letter from
the Commissioners asking If she had any
suggestion To make in reference To the
taking of the census of the school children
in the District The ages included in the
census table ranged from six to fifteen
wears, and Miss HoSmer recommended that
the range should be from six to fourteen
years. In this connection she suggested
that the Commissioners, in taking the cen
sus, be requested to note the name, age and
residence of all deaf and blind children be-
tween the ages of six and eighteen years,
The standing committees made no special
report further than stating that they were
progressing with their work.

It's sleeping quarters. The Union Leaguei is
one OF the strongest Republican organiza-
tons in New York. Many of its members
crowded the lobby of the hotel in the morn
ing after breakfast, laughing and talking
among their friends and acquaintances.
Col. Edward E. Britton aud wife of Brook
lyn, N. Y, were among the early arrivals
at the Cochran.
Gen. Grosvenor was very popular among
the politicians yesterday. Cards began
to go up to his room before O'Clock,
and he was busily engaged with callers
before many Of the other distinguished
guests OF the hotel had opened their eyes
No definite arrangements were made
for the entertainment Of Gov Black and
his staff during the day. He arose about
8 o'clock and took breakfast with
Mrs. Black and a few members of
his staff. Senator Platt called after break
fast and spent few moments in conver-
sation with the governor and his wife
After Mr.. Platt's call, the governor,
accompanied by his wife and private secre-
tary, Col. Griffith, was driven to the
Capitol, and spent some time greeting
old friends on the floor of the House. Last
night Governor and Mrs. Black, Col. and
Mrs. Griffith, Mr.. and Mrs. Francis and
Col. Treadwell attended the Natl onal
Theater.
Governor Black demeans himself in O
very democratic manner, and his easy
going way is in marked contrast to the
finely disciplined staff. The night after
his arrival in the city, he took advantage
OF the fine weather, and walked around the
city, accompanied only by his private
secretary. The governor was delighted to
mingle with the crowds upon the streets,
and look up old places he knew when in
Congress here. He spurned the offer OF
a private box for the play last night, and
selected the seats in the bald head
row as being more to his taste. II e re-
ceived callers in his apartments all the
afternoon.
LeutGov. Woodruff arose late and
spent the morning in making calls upon
his many friends in the city.
Speaker O'Grady, OF the New York legis
lature, spent the morning at the Capitol.
Mr. o'Grady is handsome and well-dressed
and has the appearance Of being very
young He is very popular with the staff,
and was the center OF many interesting
groups in the lobby of the hotel.
Many of the Congressman from New York
called upon Gov. Black at his hotel yes
tcrday and were received by him in his
apartments. The members of Gov. Black S
staff brought their own horses with them
for use in the parade.

FARMERS PICNIC.
A Large and Enthusiastic Crowd En-
Joy Day in the Grove.

The farmers picnic IN the grove
north of Lamar on Thursday was
participated in by big crowd. The
farmers here have enjoyed an exceed
ingly prosperous year, with the com
bination of big crops and good prices
for all kinds Of farm produce, and
they were all in a mood for grand
holiday.
The basket dinner was one of the
features Of the day making an i'm
mense spread where hundreds We're
fed. and the zest and rapidity with
which the crowd got outside of the
many good things set before them,
shows that the aPpetites of onr far
mers are as healthy as their crops.
A portion of the program had to
be dispensed with on account OF the
short notice not enabling some OF the
speakers to be present.
The committee selected J. d. Mar
tin as chairman for the occasion and
he made short address on taking
the chair explaining the objects OF
the meeting,
Some delightful music by the
Misses Wells and Messrs. Doughty
and Taylor added much to the pleas
ure of the occasion.
l.. NJ. Campbell, of Bent county,
was on hand and made very pleas
ing address on "The Arkansas Val
ley." He pictured its condition at
present IN glowing terms, and also
the great possibilities yet in store for
ii. Mr.. Campbell thinks the farmer
would get along all right il the other
fellows would just leave him alone.
Little Miss May Woodard gave a
defamation, "W ashing Dishes . that
was greatly enjoyed by all. She has
quite reputation us an elocntionist
and il is evidently well earned.
The next numbers on the program
were song, "Old Kentucky Home, y
bv I. j. and Miss Jennie Martin. and
a defamation. .'Old Farmer Grudge,"
hy Miss Edith Wells. Both were
well rendered and won liberal APP
planse from the crowd.
W. II. Taylor made pointed anu
interesting address on the "Reward of
Our Efforts" He described the prog
ress being made each year by our
farmers and showed how the adoption
OF scientific methods and intense enl-
tivation was bringing its reward in
more bountifnE crops. He gave many
illustration on this point. the most
prominent being that OF Ed Gordon,
who had "a twelve acre wheat field
this wear which average 53 bushels
to the acre machine measure, aud by
weight run little over SO bushels
Dan Kazee and W. o. Butler each
made short talk drawing vivid pic
tures of what the future had in store
for this valley.

ball was played between the May Val
ley and Lamar mines and was won by
the Lamar boys by score of 10 to :,

BURNED WITH MOLTEN LEAD.
An Oregon Short Line empIOye Has His Face
Plated With It.

Pocatello Tribune: George Crooks
ton was terribly burned about the hands
and face by an explosion of molten lead
at the Oregon Short Line shops here
yesterday. He was counterbalancing a
car wheel when the molten metal
which he was pouring suddenly flashed
out, striking him squarely in the face
and hands. His face was literally
plated with lead from his neck to his
forehead. His eyes and his mouth and
his nostrils We're absolutely sealed with
the hot metal, which burned deep into
the flesh and stuck there and cooled.
DR.. Steely was summoned and with
much care the awful metal was re-
moved. He bore the pain of this or
deal with wonderful fortitude. His
eyes could not be opened until the
lashes had been entirely cut away and
then could only be forced open little.
He could just distinguish daylight and

Work Of a Fiend.

Park Record: Last Saturday after
noon, while Willard Birkumshaw was
at work at Thompson e Jurgenson's
slaughter house, in Deer Valley, he
heard repeatedly the faint squeal OF q
pig and for some time was unable to
jlocate it. Finally he located the sound
in the direction of the carcass of a
horse that had died some distance
away. Going TO the spot he found a
little ten weeks old pig securely tied
by the leg to one of the ribs of the
horse which was partly decayed. The
little shote was found inside the horse
with its tail and ears frozen off and
the leg to which the rope was tied
frozen solid. Mr.. Blrkumshaw re-
leased the suffering animal and 1t
waddled of toward the slaughter
house. 1t had been so badly frozen
however, that 1t soon died. Who was
guilty of the inhuman act Is not
known, but is is supposed that someone
caught 1t and tied it there with the
hope of attracting the coyotes to the
spot in order to get "A shot at them. II
the fiend who tied the pig in that horse
could be found he ought to be made to
suffer the same experience.
