Marrow Escape.

Harold, the little son of Henry Kind,
had a narrow escape from what might have
been a serious accident on Thursday after
noon. While attempting to climb on a
loaded ore wagon his foot was caught in
one of the wheels and quite badly
wrenched. A bad sprain is the result, but
had the heavily loaded wagon passed over
him the consequence might have proved
fatal.

that the bills had been paid by warrants,
but he would not say whether they were
warrants of the state or county, or
whether those warrants were paid by the

"Shaksper, Not Shakespeare."

The Robert Clarke Company, of Gin
cinnati, will publish March IL "Shaks-
per not Shakespeare" by William H.
Edwards, in denial of the claims set up
for William Shaksper, of Stratford, as
the writer Of the Shakespeare plays, or
any one of them. 1t is the outcome of
many years of careful study. It is
denied that this man Shaksper was ever
in his life time as engaged in any lit
erary work whatever. He was simply
one of the clowns at a variety show
theater, at which, interludes, farces,
burlesques and pantomimes, as we'll as
'jigs" were given for the amusement of
the lower classes of London. No
Shakespeare play as written was ever
performed at any theater. Mr.. Edwards
holds that the Shakespeare plays we're
the work of a band or coterie of play
wrights under comman sobriQuet,
whether assumed by themselves or
given them by others. The plays en-
braced many besides those published in
the Folio of 1923. That collection was
gotten up by the publishers, on their
own responsibility and as a speculation,
and they selected what old plays they
pleased, and attributed the authorship
was to William Shaksper, under the
name of Shakespeare. This man had
accumulated fortune, vast for those
days, in connection with the public
theaters, and by all sorts of trading and
speculation, and years before had left
London, unknown to any literary man
or man Of cultivation. It suited the
publishers to adopt him as their figure
head, and Ben JonsOn was employed to
write prefactory address to the Folio,
introducing the player, now transformed
into an author. The preface is written
in the bitterest ridicule of the claim,
but nevertheless it started the Shaksper
myth that until the middle of the last
century everybody believed in. The ex-
posure ,of the imposture, the most stu
pendous in all literature, is the object of
the book mentioned It is shown by the
testimony of the plays themselves that
it was utterly out of the question that
they could have originated in any such
environments as Stratford-on-Avon, or
from a man SO circumstanced as was
William Shaksper. The book contains
$40 pages, and presents many fac
SMILES and illustrations.

"Will you answer the question"
Mr.. Parker objected, but the witness
at length said that no formal declara-

| "Then the martial law that did exist

Objection was made and Mr.. Lent2
said that if the witness we're not COM
PEELED to answer that question, yes or

farce.
Mr.. CLANCY argued that the question
ought not to be answered. He contended
that the very act of calling out the
troops was a declaration Of martial
law.
Mr. Lentz took issue on this point,
and said that there was no martial
law at Chicago, at Pittsburg or at Halle
ton when the federal troops we're sent
there. He said "this witness is equivo-
eating and equivocating." Mr.. Parker
interjected that is not fair state

Mr.. Robertson showed that more than

d'Alene district, and that though the
courts are in operation that martial
law prevails there yet. The witness
could not tell how much longer he would
seek to keep the troops there. He saiu
the insurrection was not suppressed, but
he could point to no instance of law
lessness that has occurred in the dis
trict since April 20, 1899. He said the

lutely unreasonable and illogical. Mr.,
Lentz demonstrated that for every dol
lar of postage paid for second-class mat
ter resulted through its advertisement
In bringing back into the postofice ten
dollars additional postage paid a first
class, third-class and fourth-class pos
tage to consummate the business adver-
tised for in the second-class matter.
In other words, Mr.. Letz' figures demon
strates that the $3,500,0OO of postage
paid for carrying second-class matter
resulted eventually in bringing in round
figures into the national treasury ten
times that sum, or $35 200, 900. AS he
put it the second-class matter carried
by the government operates substantial
ly for the government the same as an
advertising agency does to induce peo-
pie to use stamps in corresponding with
the advertisers concerning the goods
which they announce in the second
class mail. Or, again, as he puts it, the
secOnd-class postage is the thread that
draws the twine that draws the rope
that draws the cable of the postal reve-
nues.
At the close of Mr.. Letz' speech the
members who up to that time were on
the fence and undecided what their final
position regarding the measure would
be were all opposed to the bill, and it
was freely admitted at the end of the
debate on the bill that Lentz speech
had not been answered and that no one
had dared to undertake to answer it.
All newspaper publishers and readers,
as well as the people of the country
generally who receive benefits through
second-class postage rates owe a debt
of gratitude to Mr.. Lent for the valiant
services he performed in opposition to
this bill. While the bill might have
been defeated without this great speech
of Mr.. Lentz, one thing is certain that
this speech went long way toward
making it difficult for Mr.. Loud and
his friends to put his bill on reason
able footing very soon again, and for
tunately for the people throughout the
country we have the pleasure of re-
porting to them that the bill was this
time defeated by a vote of 148 to &c.,
majority of 50, which is ten more than
the majority by which it was defeated
in the last congress. In other words.
it was carried in the Fifty-fourth con-

Mr.. Sulzer-But you have put your
selves in this position. =
Mr.. Hull-We have not, sir. We have
done nothing Of the kind.
Mr.. Lentz said that the chairman had
said that he, Mr.. Lentz, was in charge
of the prosecution. In the matter Of
the charge that the majority of the
committee was on the side of the de-
tense, he was willing to stand by the
record. He thought that every vote
Of the majority of the committee and
every ruling of the chairman showed
that the charge made by Mr.. Sulzer was
we'll founded For himself he was free
to say that he believed that the state
and federal laws in Idaho had beeh
grossly violated by the state and fed
eral authorities.
Gov. Steunenberg was not sure wheth-
er prisoners taken in Idaho and Mon
tana were state or federal prisoners.
At first he maintained that he had not
heard that men were taken prisoners in
Montana, but he finally said that his
deputies had been arresetd in Montana
on the charge of violating the laws Of
Montana. In the matter of the permit
system, the governor of Idaho admit
tel that he had not written the procla-
nation putting into force that system.
He had not even consulted about it,
but when the permit system was put
into execution he did not disapprove
of it.
THE PERMIT SYSTEM.
1t was brought out that the proclama-
tion concerning the permit system had
been applied to some and relaxed as
to others. Mr.. Robertson asked:
Then this proclamation of yours was
binding upon others and not binding up
on yourself?" The governor of the state

working above ground-that is to men
employed by the mine companies other
than miners. He was asked whether
there was such an additional procla-
nation. Gov. Steunenberg appeared
not to recall that such an extension of
the permit system had been authorized,
though after some delay and repeated
questioning he came to the conclusion
that such an extension had been made.
"You assumed the authority to close
a mine should the operators not obey
the proclamation"
II assumed that authority"
What would you have done with a
workingman who did not obey the per-
NIT proclamation?'
II would have dealt with him as the
case demanded"
Gov. Steunenberg admitted that he had
issued orders of commitment in blank
that DR.. France and Sinclair might fill
in the names of the men whom they
might desire to commit without the for
mality of warrant.
The governor said he knew nothing
of the commitment of Tilford. He an
swered, II do not know" to many ques-
tions and refused to make direct re-
plies to many more.
In the matter of habeas corpus, the
witness was finally compelled to an
swer that the writ did not issue. He
would not say that it had been sus-
pended Then he was asked by Mr..
Robertson:
REFUSED TO ANSWER.
"You did not want it to issue, did
you?"
The attorney, Mr.. CLANCY, objected
and the governor said: Il do not think
that is proper question to ask me- u
Mr.. Cox said: Here is the governor
of a state who refuses to say whether
he was or was not opposed to the is
suance of the most sacred of law writs
Why will he not say yes or no?"
The roll was called and by vote OF
6 to the witness was excused from
answering, the Republican members vot-
ing to relieve him of that embarrass-
ment.
The attorney general of Idaho, in
the courts of that state, represented that
the governor had suspended the writ
of habeas corpus. The witness denied
that he had suspended the writ. He was
asked: do you approve or disapprove
the act of your attorney general in that
Particular"
The witness would not answer and a
long discussion between the members
of the committee ensued.
Mr.. Hay contended that the witness
should answer. He strongly criticised
the governor, by inference, for evadine
| the question.

proclamation, used the expression, 'sus.
