One OF our leading business men

One Of our leading business men has
advanced the idea that inasmuch as
the condition OF the roads hereabouts
Is such as to give little encouragement
to lovers Of steeds possessing more
than ordinary speed, an effort should
he made with a view to building a
small race track. The space hereto
fore used for base ball ground would
be an excellent location for such a
track, and the same could be put into
tirst-class condition With only 4 nomi.
nal expenditure. A race track would
prove an Incentive for those who can
afford the luxury TO own faster steeds
than can now be found In this vicini-
". and thus a source OF fascinating,
healthful and harmless amusement
would be supplied. We trust that
this idea will find numerous responses,
and that the same may take tangible
form by next spring at least.

Trouble Because lie Got Thirsty"
Wednesday morning Marshal Baker
arrested William Wilson on suspicion
OF having robbed a companion OF about
$40 during the previous night. Will
son spent the greater portion OF the
day in the city Jail, but was released
after the authorities had made
thorough investigation of the matter.
This investigation showed that Will
son was probably not guilty OF any in-
territorial wrong-doing, and upon his
agreeing to settle with the man who
claimed to have been touched" it
was decided to drop the case against
him. 1t appears that on Tuesday
night Wilson and companion named
Bert Westlake started out to have a
''good time. Westlake, taking time
BY the forelock, got the better OF 1T, or
what would be more nearly correct,
something else got the better OF him.
TO make a long story short the two boon
companions wound up at the o. Is.
restaurant where a late superior an
early breakfast-waS ordered for the
two by Westlake. But before the
same could be served Westlake went
outside and COLLAPSED" Later he
was taken inside by his companion
who, being solicitouS for his welfare
took purse containing about so from
the helpless mans pocket for safe
Keeping" Wednesday morning Wilson
Showed up earlier than his cOmpan-
ion Of the previous night, and having
no funds Of his own and feeling lit
tie the worse ON account Of the nights
dissi patton. proceeded to supply his
wants with money from his cOmpan-
IONS purse, with the result that when
the purse was returned to it's owner it
was somewhat lighter than the lat
ter thought that it should be, and tie
complaint of robbery was made
against Wilson. Moral: Do not be
too solicitous over your tipsy compaL-
ions financial welfare.

General appearances would indicate
that a large number of workingmen
have come to Standpoint recently.
Still, carpenters and other contract
Ors experience considerable difficulty
in securing enough help to carry on
operations. This is especially true in
the building line and for that reason
much work is being delayed. We
know of prospective buildings, whose
owners are ready to occupy the same
now, that have not yet been COM
menced.
Kootenai County Republican. (Rathdrum, Idaho) 1899-1903, 1901-10-18

In a week or two we shall devote
space to an article descriptive OF what
has been doing in the building line in
standpoint during the past two months.
The record will surely eclipse any,
thing that can be said in that line by
our neighboring towns. And the end
is not yet. On the contrary, the indi-
cations are that the present record
will be outdone twice over within the
next few months. Standpoint is 'sget-
ting there" all right.

While the present conditions are
such as to occasion no alarm so far as
a smallpox epidemic is concerned, it
might be well for the people of Sand
point to remember that an ounce of
prevention Is worth ton of cure.
Standpoint has always been headquar-
ters during the winter months for a
large number OF workingmen, who
come from various localities and por-
ton OF whom are constantly Oh the
move from place To place. Such a
condition, while it can not very well
be remedied, Is always fraught with
some danger to the health of com
munity, because anything in the line
OF contagious diseases is nearly always
imported. In view Of this IL might
he well for our citizens to anticipate
an emergency and prepare for it.
Due attention should he given
to vaccination, particularly among the
school children, and adults whose dut
les bring them into contact with the
ever present floating population.

The wiseacre OF the Rathdrum
Blade, who would have the public be-
licyc that he Is engaged in the lauda-
bic work of elevating the standard OF
kootcnai county Journalism, has again
fallen by the wayside. Like great
majority Of theoretical reformers he
appears to lack the most essential
qualification for success In that line.
Ills ambition has evidently gotten the
hetterof his Judgment, for he has made
an attempt to begin work at the
wrong end of the ladder and the inev-
liable result has followed. He was to-
tally unprepared for the dizzy heights
70 which his imagination had scared,

Church News and Notes.

The ladies of the M. f. church have
organized an Aid Society, which is
meeting with much favor among the
ladies of the village. A carpet has
been purchased and made by them for
the parsonage: also heating stove
and other furniture have been pur-
chased. The society is having siding
put on the parsonage, which will add
greatly to the appearance and comfort
of the building. The lumber was fur
nished by young gentleman friend
OF the church.
The Ladies' Aid Society will meet
at Mrs. j. l.. Burkett's next Thurs
day afternoon from ? to 5. The la
dies of Standpoint are cordially Invited
to become members

They Were Scared.

DR.. .. L. Page was ia Rathdrum
Thursday morning, having gone there
in response to a message from the It'll
lea gun club of that place to the effect
that owing to the report of the pres
ence of smallpox here the citizens of
Rathdrum protested against their TAX
ing part in the clay pigeon shoot this
afternoon. DR.. Pages efforts to reas-
sure the Rathdrumites proved una
yailing. and the Rathdrum marksmen
are not here this afternoon, which is
no small disappointment to members
of the local club, who had spared no
Efforts to entertain the visitors right
royalty. In this connection we are
authorized to state that Standpoint is
today as free from smallpox, or any
other contagious disease, as Rathdrum
ever was. 1t is true% that during the
past two months two cases of small
pox-a very mild form-haye made
their appearance here, but IN each in
stance the case was promptly and care
fully dealt with, and no i'll results
have followed. And right here we de-
sire TO state that If the authorities at
Rathdrum had done their duty when
called upon, there would today be no
such thing as a sign of smallpox con-
tagion in the county. Both cases of
smallpox, which have made their ap-
pearance here were imported from the
vicinity OF Boomers Ferry where, ac-
cording to reliable reports, the contay-
ion has existed for months with the
full knowledge and consent of the au-
thoritieS at Rathdrum, who could not
be prevailed upon to take action until
this week.

FAKE HAIR PREPARATIONS
DO Hair No Good, But OFTEN Cause 1t to
Fall Out.

Fall Out.
Many hair preparations are "fake"
because they are merely scalp irri-
tants. They often cause dryness,
making the hair brittle, and finally,
lifeless. Dandruff is the cause Of all
trouble with hair 1t is germ dis
ease. The germ makes cuticle scales
as it digs to the root of the hair,
where it destroys the hairs vitality,
causing the hair to fall out. TO cure
dandruff the germ must be destroyed.
'Destroy the cause, you remove the
effect" Newbro's Herpicide is the
only hair preparation that kills the
dandruff germ, thereby leaving the
hair to grow lnXuriantly.

GETTING TOGETHER.
Kentucky Schools Which Divided
During the Civil War May Unite.

LOUISVILLE, Ky, April lat a cOn-
ference held here tonight tentative plans
were formed for uniting Center College
at Danville, Ky, and Central University
at Richmond, Ky, into one university at
Danville and for uniting the Presbyterian
Theological Seminary at Louisville and the
Presbyterian Theological Seminary at Dan
Vile into one seminary at Louisville. The
conference was attended by many promi-
nent men, including the Rev. DR.. l.. IL.
Blanton, chancellor OF Central University,
and the Rev. w. c. Roberts. president Of
Center College. The plans formed tonight,
which include establishing a collegiate in
stitute at Richmond, will now go for &C
ton to the two Presbyterian synods con-
trolling the institutions and the boards OF
trustees of the institutions.
Central University was formed by the
men who broke away from the directors
of Center College because of the position
the latter took during the civil war. Gen.
ter College is controlled by the Northern
Presbyterian Church of Kentucky, and
Central University by the Southern. The
endowment and income of both are con-
siderable. Together the colleges would
lave an endowment far larger than that
of any educational institution in the State
and surpassed by only one or two in she
entire South.

PROCTOR RETURNS FROM CUBA.
lie Says Some "Fire Eaters, Prefer the
Woods to Uncle Sans Protection.

WASHINGTON, April 1.-Senator Proc
tor, of Vermont, has just returned from
Cuba, where he has been making observa-
tions concerning conditions in the island.
The senator said he found a disposition
among many leading Cubans to accept the
terms of the Plat amendment as the most
satisfactory solution of the relations be-
tween the United States and Cuba. There
are some ire-eaters, the senator says, who
assert that rather than accept any inter-
ference by the United States they will
take to the woods" This is the Cuban's
plan of going to war. Senator Proctor
says, however, that a great many people
in the country districts. those who have
been at war for many years. declare that
they nave had enough of the woods"
There is a disposition on the part of some
OF the Cubans, he says, to place a strained
Interpretation upon the Platt legislation,
and they are trying to convince the Gu
bans that the United States intends to do
them great injustice. According to Sena-
tor Proctor these are not making very
great Roadway, especially, he says. as the
delegates to the convention are now hear
ing from their constituents, the larger pro-
portion of whom are anxious for a settle
ment of all political relations with the
United States and urge the delegates TO
accept the offer of this government.
Senator Proctor, speaking generally of
conditions in Cuba, says the business situa-
ton is much improved. American capital
is now being invested, and this has been
especially marked during the past three
months. Various enterprises are on foot,
there is employment for nearly everybody,
and the quiet and peace that has come to
the people is appreciated by them.

CUBANS STILL DIVIDED
HAVE NOT YET TAKEN ACTION on
THE PLATT AMENDMENT.
Matter Discusse at n Secret Meeting
Views of Senator Proctor, Who
Mas Returned from Cuba.

HAVANA, April IA secret session Of
the Cuban constitutional convention was
held to-day and attended by twenty-five
delegates. Among the absentees were
Senior Giberga, Senior Quilas and General
Sanguily. strong supporters of the Plat
amendment.
The first matter considered was a reso-
luton from the Planters Association
recommending the convention to accept
the amendment with a proviso that the
United States government should make 3
reduction of 30 per cent. in the duty on
Cuban products or at least make a prefer
ence in their favor over similar products
from other countries. The resolution was
tabled without discussion.
The majority report of the committee on
relations signed by Seniors Gomez, Silvela
and Villuendas was read, but after a
discussion which showed that a majority
OF the delegates were opposed to it, a
resolution to lay it on the table was car
ried. A similar disposition was made of
reports from Seniors De Quesada, Ia
mayo. Nunez and Giberga.
A motion by Senior MOnteaguedo to APP
point a commission to go TO Washington
was defeated by a vote of 10 to u. 1t was
finally decided to hold a public session Of
the convention tomorrow, when an at
tempt will probably be made TO recon-
slider the motion on the Monteaguedo mo-
ton.
Senior Alexandra Rodriguez, who was
elected mayor of Havana June 20, 1900. has
resigned the office and the Ayuntamiento
will elect his successor tomorrow. At
to-dayS session an attempt was made TO
elect Senior Zayas, but the action of the
Ayuntamiento was declared null and void
owing to the fact that the resignation of
Senior Rodriguez had not been formally
filed. Senior Zayas and DR.. Luis Estevez,
secretary of justice. are the rival candi-
dates.

FREE OF YELLOW FEVER.


HAVANA, April 1-For the first time in
the history of Havana the month of April
begins without a single case of yellow fever
in the city. Major w. c. Gorgas, chief
sanitary officer. is confident that, with the
sanitary measures now being enforced and
the valuable information gained during the
recent Investigations of the yellow fever
committed, there will be few cases during
the coming season. The Marine Hospital
Service il also taking precautions against
the bringing of infection into Havana from
Mexican and other ports. DR.. Gelennon,
chief surgeon, has issued orders for a quar-
antine against these ports beginning April
15.i 1t is thought that many cases in
Havana last year were brought In from
Vera Cruz, which is only two days sail
from Havana. Hereafter passengers from
Vera Cruz will be obliged to remain in
quarantine for three days. The immigrant
station is used only as temporary quarters
for immigrants who have no employment
on arriving here. Under the old arrange-
ment they remained in Havana, and not be-
ing immune, they contracted yellow fever
and frequently spread 1t through the coun-
try districts. Immigrants are now kept iso-
lated until employment is secured for them,
and then are shipped direct into the coun-
try. The number of yellow fever cases in
Havana has decreased wonderfully since
these precautions were taken.
A regular quarantine station was built
by the Spaniards at Mariel. 1t is consld-
cred one of the best in the Marine Hospital
Service, and will be retained by the United
States under the clause in the Platt amend
ment in relation to sanitation.
