r.5 Wives Wanted In idaho. ",.tat5
Young women are still scarce in Ida
no, and bachelors who desire to change
their conditions of single blessedness
are plenty. AS result Of this condi-
ton of affairs school boards in that
state have difficulty in securing teach
ers to conduct their schools. Few men
are engaged in the occupation of teach
ing the young, as they can usually find
more lucrative employment. So young
women are imported from the east, and
as soon as they begin their work the
bachelors begin paying court to them.
With dozen men fluttering around
her, small wonder that the schoolma' M
resigns and marries one Of her suitors.
There are about ten unmarried men to
one unmarried woman in Idaho.

young lady, Miss Busch, came from
Iowa to teach in the public schools of

was there three months she was en-
gagged to prominent man of the
town, and at the close Of the school
term they were married. Her sister
came to teach the next school year.
When the term was half over this sis.

another unmarried sister to take hel

Tho "Holy Laurhers."

In south Georgia, in the rural dis
triets around Brunswick, strange re-
Ngious sect, the Holy Laughers;. 9, are
creating tremendous excitement, and
for miles around the farmers are CIV
ing up their work and devoting their
time to furthering the cause of the new
creed. The holy laugh" is a peculiar
feature of the service. This Is a series
Of weird declamations, after which the
worshipers frequently fall on the
ground and remain apparently in a
trance for several hours. Rev. Mr..
Lee, a travelling evangelist, has erect
ed great tent near Brunswick, and
continuous services are held. Thou.

the health Of the troops, and minutely
pointed out what to avoid and how camps

Of view. together with suggestions ss 10

the opinion OF the Surgeon-Generd that
these conditions have not been carried

EVIL.

WASHINGTON, August S.-The reply OF
the Spanish Government to the peace con-
ditions laid down by the United States
was received by the French Ambassador,
NJ. Cambon shortly before o'clock this
afternoon. The reply came in sections,
the dispatch first received giving only the
opening passages of the Spanish reply.
few minutes later another dispatch
brought a second section, and these kept
coming uninterruptedly by a procession
IF messengers until seven sections of the
Spanish reply had been received at ten
minutes TO 4, when the last part was still
10 arrive.
CIPHER EXPERTS BUSY.
In the mean time the cipher experts
were at work and az 4:30 o'clock they
were abreast of all that portion Of the
reply received up 10 that time, and there
was a lun of some time pending the ar
rival OF the concluding portions. 1t was
thought a terrific rain-storm which swept
over Washington about o'clock might
have occasioned the delay OF the re-
mainder. Pending the receipt of the com
plete reply. no steps were taken 10 fix
time for conference with the President
as the time for that depended largely
upon some OF the features Of the reply
and also upon the explicit instructions
concerning the delivery OF the answer
which usually accompanies & document of
this solemn character.
NO OFFICIAL KNOWLEDGE.
Neither at the White House nor at the |
State Department was there any official |
knowledge that the reply had reached |
Washington, and the usual office hours
closed with no appointment made for
conference. There was felt 10 be little
likelihood, even though the Ambassador
received the complete reply and instruc-
tions, that there would be a night con-
ference at the White House for the pur-
pose OF presenting the document. Pend
ing the Official delivery OF the answer,
speculation was rife as 10 its contents.
NOT A SIMPLE AFFIRMATIVE.
There was little or no further doubt
that the length Of the reply left. meant
that Spain had not given simple
and direct affirmative to the American
conditions. II was evident that II the
reply was an acceptance il was accom-
panied by extended discussion, and, pro-
badly, conditions. This caused consider

came was hard at work.
HOW THE STROKE CAME.
Mr.. Vaughan. who had led a very active
life, was fond OF taking a hand in the
