Broke Up the Show.

An actor tells of tragic experience he had recently while playing to an audience in a little town in southern Texas. In one of the scenes of the play, in which he acts the villain. he hides himself in barrel, that he may listen to a conversation between the hero and heroine, whose future we'll being he is trying to destroy. In the town hall there was little if any eproperty7 material. A barrel would do to conceal himself in, so a 'hired hand" was sent out to find one. He succeeded. He slipped In the barrel with ease. The man and the woman appeared, and while they were in the midst of an animated conversation there came howl from the barrel that fairly shook the rafters. This was fol- lowed by the eayesdropper crawling out with his hands to his face. and he in turn was followed by a swarm of wasps. The wasps got among the stage people and those in the audience. which created so much confusion thst the show was broken up.

Island is & Magnet.

In tie Baltic the Danishsisland Born- holm, which is situated about twenty four miles, east. by south. from the nearest point of Sweden, may be re- garded as huge magnet. Although the power of tllisg magnetic island is not so great that it can draw the nails out of ships as was told of the legend. ary magnetic hills, the magnetism of the rocks on tee island of Bornholm can and does cause a good deal of trou- ble to ships in quite another way, for. the island exerts such an influence on the magnetic needle that it causes a vessel to turn perceptible aside from it's course. The effect of the island magnetism Is felt at distance of about nine and half miles. On the island cf Cana lone of the ArgylIshire Heb- rsdes), situate about three miles north west of Rum, there is hill which has magnetic power sufficiently strong to affect the compasses of vessels passing near it. The island is mile in breadth by four and half miles in length.

More New Engines.

And now comes the news that
the Short Line has closed contract
with the Cooke Locomotive works
for eight new locomotives. They
will be known as the 800 class and
will be much larger than the mann
moth new 700 engines. The
Cooke representative left for the
east few days ago and it is pre-
sumed that these new engines will
be built as fast as possible.
There is some speculation as to
where they will be used, but the
general belief is that they will
come to the first district for the
coal trade.

hand now. Just what date the
boys will get home, however, is
not yet known. The regiment is
expected in Boise about Sept. 2sth

they will probably stop there for a

by way of Ogden they will be here
about the same date.

woolcyzIs Arrested.

Deputy Sheriff Lex Rossi of
Boise county arrived In the city
late Tuesday night and yesterday
morning he served a warrant of
arrest on II. s. Wooley, the well
known Paris man, who until re-
Gently has had charge of the Wash
ington mine near Idaho City for
the Harvest Mining company.
The warrant charges Mr.. Wooley
with misdemeanor. The COM
plant under which it was issued
was sworn to by George p. Wheel
er. 1t charges that Mr.. Wooley
violated an act of the last legisla-
turc requiring managers of mining
property to post notices showing
whether or not the property is
being worked by lease, giving the
name of the owner and other facts.
Because of the alleged violation of
that act the warrant was secured.
Mr.. Wooley, when seen yester-
day by Statesman reporter, said
he had complied fully with the law
referred to. The notices were
prepared by a Boise attorney and
posted as required. They were
still there when he left the mine
and he presumed they were there
still.
lie said the arrest was the result
of spite work. Some time ago he
saw fit to give up the Washington
mine, and he advised the others as
ISOLATED with him to do the same.
The company had been a little slow
about paying off one month, and
that had made some of the men
mad. The company, he said, still
owed the men sl40O. It was pos
sible he had been selected as a tar
get owing to the fact. Wheeler,
he said had q wood and timber con-
tract, but the company owed him
nothing.
Mr.. Wooley gave a bond for his
appearance and the case was set for
hearing on the 2lst of this month.

GEN. BRECKENRIDGE
Gives An Interesting Talk on the
Situation in Cuba and
Puerto Rico.
WRONG POLICIES IN VOGUE
Cuban Constitution Should Be Drafted
Annexation Fsvored Two to One
Special Legislation Needed for
Puerto Rico.

Washington, April 1O.-Inspector-
General Breckenridge has just returned
from an inspection trip through Cuba
and Puerto Rico. In an interview he
says: There has been no trouble from
the Cubans, as a people, during the mil
itary occupation; but l feel sure that
after our troops are brought home there
will be disturbances We are not going
about the matter of fitting Cubans for
government in the right way. 1t
seems to me that the first thing we
ought to do is to have an election by the
people of a convention to draft a con-
stitution. AS it is the island is govern
ed by American soldiers, enforcing
Spanish laws on which are ingrafted
American ideas, and the result is con-
fusion. / am confident that if a vote
were taken in Cuba today on the prop
osition of annexation to the United
States it would be adopted by a vote
of two to one. The people of Puerto
Rico are much better situated from a
climatic point of view than those in
Cuba, but it is evident that unless con-
gress takes some action under which
the products of the island may find a
market in this country, there is grave
danger of starvation
