H. J. Sutton, who for eleven
years has been resident of Pa
louise, committed suicide last Fri
day morning at the Grand hotel in
Spokane. Charges of intimacy on
the part of Sutton with widow by
the name of Stewart, in the employ
of the Lyons general merchandise
store, have been the talk of Palouse
for several months past aud this
scandal finally caused an estrange-
nient between him and his wife.
The inference is that as a result of
this trouble Sutton left home and
killed himself in fit OF despondon-
cy or rcmorse. He leaves a wife
and a daughter 16 years old, and
had over $4,000 insurance on his
life.

During the sale of draft horses
at the Palace stables last Saturday,
Bay Clark had a narrow escape
FROM serious, if not fatal, injury.
He was sitting on his saddle-horse
in the corral holding a bunch of
colts that were being bid on, they
commenced kicking and bucking,
causing him to lose his balance and
fall beneath their feet. TO the out
siders it looked as though he was
repeatedly kicked and trampled on,
but he had the presence of mind to
lie still and hug the ground till the
horses quieted sufficiently for him
to roll cut of the way. The only
kick he got was a glancing one
across the left eye and side of his
face, from the fetlock of one the
horses, which skinned his head in a
way that showed something of what
the effect would have been if the
hoof had struck him.
j. G. Haskell, the machine
man, of Moscow, is registered at the
Palace. Joe is an ardent sports
man, has a fine gun and a well
broken pointer, and keeps we'll post
ed rs to the roosting places of the
chickens over in Latah county.
He has several coveys staked out
over there and is just waiting for
the season to open to do business
with them. He says that there any
number of bob hite to be- seen out
beyond Moscow and prophecies that
if they keep on increasing for the
next two yeafs at the rate they have
since they we're first liberated, the
whole country will be stocked with
them, and with proper protection
viii always furnish capital sport for
the field hunter in this section.
-Messrs Percy Chapman, WIZ
Lyon and Prof Webster returned
last Sunday evening from their five
w~eks hunting trip on the head wa
ters of the Locksaw. They had
considerable trouble In establishing
their identity but were finally rec
ognized, and since tehn they have
been busy recounting the many
pleas ant incidents of their outing.
They found a great deal of snow in
the mountains on their way in, and
consequently saw any amount of
deer and elk when they got down TO
the low lands along the river, but
Of course did not try to kill any as
the season had not yet opened.
Garfield was visited by fierce
and destructive fire last Sunday
morning, when six buildings in the
centre of the town were reduced to
a pile of debris and their contents
almost totally DESTROYED. Only by
miraculous shifting Of the wind
at critical moment, coupled with
the heroic work of the citizens, was
the remainder Of the business por-
ton Of the town saved The fire,
which is believed to be of incendia-
ry origin, caused loss of $23. $50
on which only an insurance OF
$1,000 was carried.
Monday night tho gentle rain
began to fall and kept on coming
during Tuesday and the greater part
of Wednesday. If such a wetting
had come two or three weeks earli-
er, it would have been much better
appreciated than just now when
the farmers are busy haying.

OF abusing or numbering his WIFE, Ihe

that a man has been wrongly convicted

No man. however wise or experienced
can lay down infiexible regulations for
the guidance Of his conduct in circum-
stances such as may often surround the

First. as to Mr.. McKinley's inconsistent
e. and the light in which his deliverance
is calculated to put the United States be-
fore the nations OF the earth: In dis
cussing the Cuban question In his message
of April IL, 1925. the President said: Il
speak not Of forcible annexation for that
cannot be thought OF. That, by our code
of morality, would be criminal agrees
sion" In the Cuban resolutions the
United States solemnly pledged them
selves against a war of conquest, and no
man can honestly claim that the pledge
applied only to Cuba. Moreover, no man
ran honestly contend that the language
pf President Mckinley we have just
puoted does not apply as well to the
philippines as to the Queen Of the An
files. Yet If the Presidents proclama-
tion means anything it is an order for the
forcible annexation of the Philippine
group. 1t is an order that the Islands be
conauered-that, If necessary, the Fflipi'
nos be subjugated. 1t is clear repudia'
ton OF the Cuban resolutions and radi
cal reversal of his position as to ouI
obligations under our code of morals
But this is not the worst of It, Presi
dent Mckinley ignores the fact that th'
treaty is not yet treaty. He ignores tn
tact that the people have not as yet de
clared through their representatives Wh'
alone are competent to give the treaty

King Humbert, of Italy, appears to be
about the only man on the European
Continent charged with running the af-
fairs Of a great Power, who would be able
to make any Roadway as a candidate in
this country. The Emperor of Austria
never shakes hands with any one below
the rank Of archduke. Kaiser Wilhelm
is also averse TO indiscriminate hand
shaking, as is the Russian Car in less
degree. President Faure, of the French
republic, is inclined to be effusive in greet
ing royalties. but thinks 1t beneath his
dignity TO shake the hand Of any one as
low In the social scale as a secretary Of
legation. Humbert. however, shakes
hands with everybody that comes along,
and seems to enjoy heartily the operation.
on his excursions into the rural districts
he is as cordial and "handshaky" with
the peasants as is an American candidate
with the soyereigns on the court green.
