IDAHO GETS A BUILDING.
Also Receives the Weather Bureau
Service at Boise.

Washington, Sept Ex-senator Shoup's
stay in Washington during the last two
weeks has been productive of several
good results for individuals and enter
he came to Washington to learn the rea-
son for the delay in the construction OF
the public building at Boise. The sena-
tor was assured before he left here last
July that the work on the public building
would be commenced on an early date.
When he returned here he found that
practically no progress had been made.
In fact the supervising architects Office
had about decided to let the work go
over until next spring, claiming that the
that no material advantage could be
gained by beginning the work in this fall.
Senator Shoup appealed at once to the
secretary OF the treasury and had no diili-
Guilty in convincing him that the weather
in Boise in the winter would not in any
way interfere with the construction of
the building. The secretary at once di-
rected the plans for the building to be ex-
pedited in the architects office and also
ordered the preparation of advertisements
to be at once issued for the various de-
tails OF the construction.
Weather Bureau Service.
Senator Shoup has also been laboring
for several years to secure the establish
maj nf h.s Nd
general bureau for the state of Idaho. 1t
was not until this year that he was sue
cessful in having sufficient appropriation
made for that purpose. The secretary of
agriculture assured the senator last July
that the bureau would be promptly es-
tablished, but owing to the extension of
the bureau service in the West Indies, it
has been delayed. The senator had con.
ference with Chief Moore to learn when
the service for the state of Idaho could
be established and received assurances
that it would be done about the first OF
October.
The Office which will be opened in Idaho
will be state headquarters and of the first
grade, having a fine complement of instru-
ments which are now being prepared
therefor. 10 prevent great rush OF ap-
phcants for positions in the weather bu-
reau office at Boise, it may be stated here
that all the employees will be under the
classified civil service, and will therefore
be selected from those skilled in the
weather bureau work in other cities. But
one exception to this is the position OF
messenger in the office, which Senator
Shoup has already secured for Charles
G. Garrett of Boise.

FRENCH SHOOTING MATCH
A WOMAN WOUNDED A MAN.


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 an
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 Nj. 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 hospital.
Nine. Paulmier was taken into custody
and when questioned answered coolly: Il
wish to kill Nj. Millerand"
She explained that La IAnterne had
slandered herself and husband because
her husband had written the letter to
General Chanoine, the minister of war,
with reference to putting 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 or 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
lished 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.

Guarding Fer Nerves.

A little east end maiden of sum- mers, whose clever sayings are the de- light of her friends, recently dined with En aunt. At the beginning of the repast bhe gravely said to her relative:
 "In take just one cup of tea, Aunt Liza. l have to be so careful about my nerves. If don t take care. I'll have nerves like cat '
 She got her tea, and it is scarcely necessary to add that when she had fin isned it she forgot all about her poor nerves and clamored for more.-Cieye-
 Music and Health.
 Music, if we are to believe ancient historians, has produced some very ex- eraordinary effects The fierceness of Achilles was allayed by playing on the harp; Damon, with the same instru- ment, quieted wild and drunken youths and Asclepiades in similar manner brought back seditious multitudes to temper and reason. The cerybantes and effeninate priests of Cybele were melt ed by music to cut their own flesh. Pin dar addressed his harp thus "Thou quenehest the raging thunderp Music is also reported to have been efficaeioas in removing dangerous diseases. Miriam dola observes, in explanation of it's be- ing appropriated to such an end, that music moves the spirits to act upon the. soul as medicine does the soul by the body Theophrastus, in his essay on Enthusiasm, reports many cures up on this principle. The Thebans used the pipe for the cure of many disorders, and zenoerates is said to have cured several madmen. The bite of the taran- tula is said to have been cured by music. and the Phrygian pipe was recommend ed by many of the ancient fathers as an antidote to sciatiea. We could enumer- ate many other instances of the estima- tion, amounting, as it would seem, to palpable superstition, in which music was held among the aneients, but the above may be considered sufficient. = New York Ledger.

DooLITTLE's LITTLE JOKE
How He Conferred an Honor Upon His
 Friend, Senator Fessenden.

How He Conferred an Honor Upon His
 Friend, Senator Fessenden.
 The old senator was a great story teller and related many interesting and humorous accounts of what he had seen ln public life. One of his favorite sto. ries was at the expense of Senator Fes- senden, warm personal friend The judge and Senator Fessenden had been appointed on commission, witk several others, to treat with the various chiefs of the Sioux Nation on an important h. dian question of the day. It was long before railways had been introduced into the far west, and the members of the commission had to travel on horse back. Judge Doolittle was chairman of the commission, but at the conference shifted that duty to the shoulders of Senator Fessenden. The latter was high ly pleased at the honor conferred on him and much ''putfed up'' ill consequence. The judge had method in his madness however, for he had heard of the pc. culiar reception rendered by the Indians to the spokesman of any party of visit ing whites
 At the appointed tllne the two parties to the conference congregated. There were probably 200 Indian chiefs present, with their wives. Senator Fessenden advanced to do tho honors for the com. missioners, when, to his dismay, the whole body of Indians, sauaws and all, advanced and, after embracing the chairman, gave him, according to their custom, welcoming kiss. Judge Doo- little often said he thought that Fessen- den never forgave him for the trick. Boston Herald

The Sunday Excursion.

AS indicated in yesterdays police
court items. there was a negro exeur.
sion from Wynne to Helena, on Sun
day last. Three of the excursionisis
were caught at Helena. at the depot.
where they were drunk and dis0rderly
They were locked up in the cooler
where they slept off the effects of their
Sunday debsuch. 1t would have been
better had the whole crowd been locked
up. for after the train got under way
on its return trip there was pandemo-
MUM on board. There were few
white passengers on the train and "A
few of these were accommodated by
Baggage Master Harris, who let them
into the baggage car. In the REGULAR
train there were great crowds of
drunken. perspiring, cursiug negroes.
Deputy Sheriff Bob Lee went along
on the train expecting there would be
some sort of trouble-and there was.
But it didn't take place in this county.
Just after leaving the tank on the
Moore LaGrange place the negroes be-
gan lighting. Several shots were fired.
and as there was good deal of yelling.
and swearing. and cries of pain, no.
body cared to enter the car. Between
LaGrange and Howes somebody pulled
the bell cord and stoppe! the train.
Before it came to stop d negro with a
pistol in his hand, jumped off and ran
across little field. Whether he WIS a
shootee or a shoo.ist will probably
never be known, because nobody knew
or would tell his name. When Capt.
Jake Campbell got things quieted
down he took an inventory of the
damages. They were as follows:
Yves Allen, negro. of Wynne, was
dead, shot through the back.
Polk Thompson. negro, of Marianne
neighborhood, badly shot through thigh,
bleeding profusely.
Unknown negro, from Bonar, with
head tied up in a big handkerchief, and
bloody as stuck pig. Not known
whether he was shot or cut.
Unknown negro woman with face
badly mashed. Said to have been done
by another woman.
In addition to these casualties, Mack
Irwin. Mariana negro. was badly
hurt while trying to board the train at
the Helena depot. lie was very drunk
and was knocked off the rear of the
train as it pulled out from the depot.
Baggage master Harris says there
must have been forty or fifty pistols on
the train. judging from the number of
shots that were fired from the car win
dows. 1t was tough crowd. Helena
