Forecast for May.

From the 7th to the 9th you may look
for very much warmer weather followed
by storms of rain, hail and thunder, says
the Rev. Irl r. Hicks The change to
high pressure, with cooler weather, will
follow promptly behind these storms,
with one or two nights of probable frost
about the 9th and 10th. A reactionary
disturbance centers on the 18th and 18th
with more marked storm conditions.
We will name Wednesday, the Oath, to
Saturday, the 9th, as dates on and
about which violent storms are quite
probable. This announcement should
not cause unnecessary foreboding or
fear in a single soul. It is not made for
that purpose. Dangerous storms may
not come at this time. But we do
insist that the conditions point strongly
to such possibilities, and that calm and
prudent watch should be kept on APP
preaching storm clouds. Those who
have made reasonable preparations for
such visitations, know the peace of mind
that results from such forethought and
care. The end of May will bring some
of the warmest days for the entire
month.

The Declamitory Contest.


One of the largest audiences ever as
sembled in the Methodist church was
present at the declamatory contest last
Friday evening. Long before the com
mencing hour every seat was filed and
chairs were provided in the aisles to &C
commodate those present. From the
time Professor Rosa announced the first
number on the program until the end
was reached, the large audience seemed
deeply interested and gave evidence OF
abundant enjoyment. The speakers all
showed thoroughness of training and
preparation and their efforts were de-
cidedly creditable, both to themselves
and to the teachers of the Edgerton
High school,
Professor Rosa is taking very great
interest in this branch of work and is
striving to make wholesome advance
ments along all the lines of mental cul-
tivation which promises to afford assist
ance in the future life and career of his
pupils.
Interspersed with the speaking were
three vocal solos rendered by Mr.. Free
man Lyons, Mrs. M. Smith and Mrs.
Andrew Mcintosh which were delight
fully received.
The first speaker was Miss Mary Wat
son who gave Eugene Aram's Dream.
Her spirited rendering of this difficult
piece showed marked ability in grasp
ing and interpreting the thought of the
author. When the decision was an
nounced the audience felt that the
judges had made no mistake in award
ing her first place,
Miss Watson was followed by Miss
Mida Hubbell who rendered GA Ride
Through the Valley of Conemaugh."
Illness prevented her from appearing at
her best. She possesses rich pleasing
voice but was unable to control it per
fectly. Under less unfortunate circum-
stances she might have succeeded IN
securing one of the coveted places.
The third speaker was Miss Viola
Marsden. The youthfulness of the speak
er, the spirit and childlike simplicity
with which she delivered "How the Old
Horse Won the Bet" captivated the
audience. Judging from her first APP
pearance we feel warranted in saying
that she will ably uphold the reputation
of the Edgerton High school after the
older speakers have passed out of her
halls.
Miss Cassie Scofeld rendered Bobby
Shafter'' in a very animated and i'm
pressive manner. Her change in man
ner from representing the mischevious
school boy to representing an atmos
phere of horror and impending doom
was one of the thrilling things of the
evening. The fact that one of the judges
gave her first place bespeaks for her
effort high degree of excellence.
James McGiffin was the last speaker.
He delivered an extract from Webster's
Reply to Hayne in such creditable
manner that the judges awarded him
second place.
The judges selected were Father Har-.
Ian, L. E. Gettle and E. M. Ladd. Fol
lowing is tabulated table of the mark
ings of each:

interests or the City at n6drC; Cnoy are
citizens of Edgerton, owning homes and
engaging in business here for the benefit
of themselves and that the city may be
made prosperous. AS an organization
the members are united when unity is in
demand and without this no organiza-
ton can be counted as successful. In
times agone they have been faithful and
persevering at the critical time, and so
in the future we have the assurance of
the most possible help when help is
needed. And may we always enjoy the
blessing of having as good and perfect a
fire department in this community.
We were greatly surprised on last
Saturday morning to learn that one of
our most highly respected citizens was
compelled to remain in the cooler the
entire night previous. The fact of the
case is that Mr.. David E. Stevens went
thereof his own free will and was acct
dentaly locked in his egg cooler by his
son. This is not very desirable quarter
to be stationed in over night, with the
thermometer registering 80 degrees, but
shouting was of no avail and for once he
was deprived, much against his will, the
pleasure of pleasant fireside and family.
He says he hustled egg cases all night to
keep the blood from congealing, and we
dare say that daylight was never more
appreciated by man than it was by him
as it first made its appearance through
the door as it was opened in the early
morning. -Evansville Review.

AN ABRUPT END.
The Case Against Deputy Marshal Robin
son of Idaho Dropped.


Plains, Sept. 1.-THE trial of H. R.
Robinson, deputy United States mar
shall of IDAHO who was charged with
exhibiting deadly weapon in threat
ening manner at this place, began last
evening before Justice of the Peace
Meaney and came to an unexpected
termination this morning, when the
justice sustained the demurrer of the
defendants attorney to the complaint,
and exonerated the pondsmen who had
vouched for the appearance of Robin
son.
AS Robinson did not appear and is
now in Idaho. it is impossible to reach
him for another arrest and this will,
1t is thought end the proceedings. The
attorneys in the case arrived here last
night. J. NJ. Evans, attorney for the
defendant, cited the statute which pro-
vides that in justice of the peace
court defendant may plead through
his attorney and the case may be tried
without his presence. The trial then
proceeded. Mr.. Evans made two mo-
lions for the dismissal of the case on
the grounds of the insufficiency of the
complaint, but these were overruled
and the hearing was continued till
morning. This morning the court OPEN
ed with the filing of demurrer TO the
complaint by Mr.. Evans, which was
submitted without argument on Mr..
Evans part. The demurrer urged the
insufficiency of the complaint in that
it did not state the nature in which the
weapon was displayed County Attor-
ney Denny opposed the demurrer in an
eloquent argument, urging that the de-
murrer was practically the same matter
that had been offered in the motions
made last night by Mr.. Evans. The
court, however, took a different view of
the matter and sustained the demurrer.
much to the surprise of all who were
interested. This. of course, settled the
case and the court exonerated the
posed to be in Idaho and cannot be ar
rested on this charge.
The outcome of the case is a disap-
pointment to the officers who had
worked up the matter, and they think
that they did not receive fair treatment
at the hands of the Plains court. There
is another charge pending against Rob-
inson in this county, which will come
up at the November session of the dis
trict court, In which he is accused,
jointly with Deputy Sheriff Rose of
Shoshone, with performing the func-
tions of an officer without the neces-
sary legal authority.
The two men are under $1,000 bonds
for their appearance at the next term
of court these bonds having been fixed
by Justice of the Peace Adams of
Thompson. 1t is supposed that this
case will come to trial and an interest
ing contest is looked for
The questions involved are those
which relate to the authority of the
federal officers of one district in an
other district

JOE BRUNKER'S PEANUT ROAsTER.
When Business Is Good He Runs Her 60
Miles an Hour.

When Business Is Good He Runs Her 60
Miles an Hour.
Missoula, Sept. 12.-Joe Brunker has
gone into business. He has purchased
the old Diamond Palace stand and is
now engaged in selling peanuts and
soda water and driving Joe Grenier
away from the nickel in the-slot ma
chine. Joe gets along first rate for
man who has sat in the cab of an en-
CINE for so many years and he has not
made many breaks as yet. The other
morning Bishop" Marsh and Matt
Jahr came up and borrowed his delivery
rig to make short trip across the
river. The horse baked a little and
they had some trouble in getting him
started till Joe came to the door and
whistled ''off brakes for them Then
the horse started without trouble Joe
explained that he had trained the horse
in that way as it came natural to him to
get start with the whistle.
When Joe gets lonesome and home
sick for the road he wheels out his red
peanut rooster and gets up steam As
soon as the whistle begins to blow he
smiles and as he watches the wheels go
round he feels better. He has a set of
signal flags for the rooster and runs
1t as extra or first section or special as
he pleases. He never runs light, how
ever The nearest he has come to that
was the other day when Sammy Daw-
son and Jack Woodson hung around the
machine and ate free peanuts for a long
time, all the while making remarks
that were not calculated to amuse tx
proprietor. He endured it all without
complaint until Jack asked him If that
was running light" Then he stepped
out and informed the two that it was a
bounce" and proceeded to bounce
them. Since then the rooster engine has
had no light runs.
The rooster is a good indication of
how business in going. When things
are coming easy, Joe runs her so miles
an hour and doesn't recognize any flag
stations at all. When things get little
dull he slows up to 20 miles an hour and
stops at water tanks. 1t is pleasant to
be able to announce that the engine
has been running at high speed ever
since Joe took the throttle He has ap-
piled the emergency air only once and
that was when Joe Grenier had STAYED
too long. AS soon as Joe gets his sig
nal flags and lanterns the place will
look all right.

man would call to see him at o'clock,
and if he was asleep asked to be awak-

asleep. Noticing that he did not look
just right an attempt was made to
awaken him, when it was discovered
that he was dead. Coroner Hayes was
