The fruit growers of the Potlatch have
caught the dryer fever, and several be-
sides those already built will be con-
structed before the fall is over. w. c..
Pierman of Vollmer will begin work on
one, similar to the one in Moscow, and
of equal capacity. Two cars of prunes
were shipped last week, and more will be
loaded this week, as the price still holds
up enough to make it pay.
An outfit of eight wagons, IS head of
horses, and babies enough to start a couple
of new school districts, passed through
Gnngeville last Sunday, bound for the
'Nez Perez reservation. The party came
over the state road from Weiser by way

The work on Trinity Episcopal church

AT a meeting of the school board OF
BOISE, Idaho, the question OF the tax levy
was discussed at some length. An esti-
mate from ex-Secretary Himroad was pre-
sented, giving the years expenses at $780,
44O. To this the board added $1,000
and on that basis the levy was fixed at
81 on the 500 of assessed valuation. Last
year the levy was so cents. The increase
is made necessary by numerous addition
al expenses in the way of improvements
at the school buildings, and by reason Of
the fact that the district assessment is
100000 below what it was last year
The total assessed valuation of the district
is $l,934,000. The levy will raise $40 $40
and the money received from the appor
tionment will bring the total up to $50,
440.

FRENCH Shooting MATCH
A WOMAN WOUNDED A MAN
Another Chapter Is Added TO the
Disgrace of the French Nation,
the Drcyfus Cause.-The Editor of
La Lanterne Shot for SANDER.

Paris, Sept. 26.-Mme. Paulmier, wife
of NJ. Charles Ernest Paulmier, member
of the chamber of deputies from the de-
partment of Calvades, has added am
other tragedy to the bewildering intri-
cacies of the Dreyfus plot. Nine. Paul
mier Friday entered the offices OF La Ian
terne and asked to see NJ. Millerand. NJ
Millerand was absent and M. Olivier,
who was present, stepped forward to re-
ceive the lady, who, without any eXPla-
nation, whipped out revolver and fired
twice. NJ. Olivier fell to the floor wound
ed. He was taken TO a hospital
Mime. Paulmier was taken into custody
and when questioned answered coolly: Il
wish to kill NJ. Milerand"
She explained that La Lanterne had
slandered herself and husband because
her husband had written the letter to
General Chanoine, the minister OF war,
with reference to putting a stop to the
attacks upon the army provoked by the
Dreyfus affair.
The alleged SANDER published in La
Lanterne was contained in an article writ
ten by journalist named Turol, and not
by NJ. Millerand on NJ. Olivier, in which
mention was made as to the conjugal re-
lations of Nine. Paulmier and her hus-
band.
The article, it is presumed, was pub
lshed without NJ Millerand's knowledge.
One of the bullets fired by Nine. Paul
mier entered Ollivier's chest and the
other struck him in the armpit.
Picquart Is Stihed.
The military authorities have accom-
plished their plan of sitting Colonel Pic
quart by placing him au secret. Colonel
Picquart's friends have been denied ad-
mission to the prisoner. His counsel, Maitre
Laborie, has twice appeared at the Office
of the clerk of the court martial and APP
piled to see his client. On both occasions
he was informed that Picquart had been
placed au secret and could be seen only
on an order from the authorities which
order Nj. Laborie has been unable to Sc
cure.
La Liberte predicts important action by
the council tomorrow which may result in
the convoking of the chambers.

In the Soldiers Homes.

Milwaukee, Sept. 27.-Soldiers of the
Spanish American war, when so disabled
that they cannot care for themselves, will
be admitted to the national soldiers

the law provides the national homes are

some discretion is given the boards of
managers of the homes in clause which
permits such other soldiers to be cared
for as in the judgment of the managers
is deemed right.

GEN. KITCHENER AT FASHODA
The Egyptians Capture Gednrif and
Defeat the Last Army

Cairo, Sept. 26.-General Kitchener,
commanding the Anglo Egyptian expe-
dition, has returned TO OmduIman, hav-
ing established posts at Fashoda and on
the Sobat river The troops had no fight
ing except with dervish steamer ON the
way south, which was captured.
Found the French ut Fnshoda.
London, Sept. 26.-The Daily Tele-
graphs Cairo correspondent, telegraph
ing today (Monday) says:
General Kitchener found the French at
Fashoda. He notified Marchand that he
had express injunctions that the terri
tory was British, and that the French
must retire, and offered them passage TO
Cairo. Major Marchand absolutely de-
clined to retire unless ordered to do so
by his government. No fighting occurred.
Major Marchand was given clearly 20
understand that the British insisted upon
their claims and the rest would be set
tied by diplomacy between their respect
i've governments.
General Kitchener sent a long official
dispatch to London, hoisted the union
jack and the Egyptian ensign, and left as
garrison the Eleventh and Thirteenth
Soudanese battalions and the Cameron
highlanders to protect the British flag.
Colonel Jackson commands the garrison.
KhaIifn's Men Again Routed.
Sual1im, Sept. 2o-The only organized
remnant of the khalih's army was de-
feated and its last stronghold, Gedarif,
captured on September % after a three
hours hard fight, when an Egyptian force
numbering 1900, under command Of
Colonel Parsons, routed 5000 dervishes,
of whom 500 We're killed. Three Egyp-
tan officers were wounded and 81 Egyp-
tan soldiers killed and 90 wounded.
This final victory of Kitchener's leaves
him the controlling power of the region
that comprises the basin of the Niger,
Lake Tchad and the branch OF the Nile
that is called Bahr-el- Ghazal. 1t is a
hard matter to draw a border line in this
rough country to show just where the
sphere of influence will begin and end
but it covers an area of 100000 square
miles, with a population of over 10000
900. Egypt controlled it once, but the
Mahdis revolt took it from them. Since
then the region has been constant
source of anxiety to Egypt and England
The khalifa took possession of the ter
ritory that the British abandoned after
the humiliation of Hicks Pashas forces
and the killing of General Gorden, and il
looked as though the khalifa would bC
able to keep it.
General Kitchener undertook at the be
ginning of 1896 to suppress the trouble
some dervish leader. With $4,000 mel
and four gun boats Kitchener took pos
session of the finest part of the Soudan
and in 1897 pushed further forward
Since then he has gone forward continu
ally with Omdurman as the objective
point The force he had with him, and witt
which he captured Omdurman, consisted
of one British and one Egyptian infanti!
division, one regiment of British and II
squadrons OF Egyptian cavalry, one tiel'
and one howitzer battery, an Egyptian
horse battery and four field batteries
camel corps and half dozen gun boats
There were $4,000 Egyptians and 7,5O(

conclusion of the rendition OF the pro-
gram President George q. Cannon de-
livered n brief address In which ne
called attention to the marked similar
lily between the language OF the

striking. The speaker understood the

comprehended much that Elder
Whaanga said in Maori. President
Cannon also referred to the influential
position held by Elder Whaanga
among his people and the great OPP
portunity now afforded HIM for doing
good In the dissemination of Gospel
truth among the Maori people.
Appropriate remarks were made by
