COBUR D'ALENES WAR
A Bad Man Killed Trying To
Shoot Deputy Sheriffs.
Trouble Opened BY the Agitators
As Soon AS Martial Law
Was Withdrawn,

Wallace, Idaho, April 1.-Two deputy
sherlffs we're shot at from ambush in
Mullan last night. One officer was
wounded three times. One of the assas-
sins was killed by the officers.
The shooting occurred about IL
O'Clock. Deputy Sheriffs Jim Rose and
ii Williams were walking down the
street together when party Of men
fired from ambush, two balls striking
Rose IN the right arm and one in the
right thigh. The two former were mere
Iy flesh wounds and of small conse-
quence, but the latter may prove serious.
The bullets entered from behind.
Williams instantly drew his revolver.
whirled and began shooting in the direc-
ton from which the shots came. 1t was
too dark to see anything, but from the
shots fired it was thought there were
three men in the assailing party. Will
Iams emptied his revolver as the men
were heard running, and then turned his
attention to his wounded cOmrade.
Sheriff Sutherland was Immediately
notified by telephone and with Deputy
Frank Rose brother of the wounded
officer, left for the scene of the shooting
as soon as team could be hitched up.
Two blOOdhOunds were taken up, but
they could not follow the trail.
1hls morning as soon as it became
llght further search was made. About
100 yards from where Williams supposed
the men to be when the shooting began
the body OF Jack Powell was found.
Further back the officers found re-
vOlver, together with hat and a cane
onithe trail.
Rose, the wounded officer, is in the
Mullan hospital resting easy.
Powell was an old timer in MuIlan. an
ex-prize fighter and an all round tough.
About a month ago he was arrested
here and put up revolver and $45 as
bail, which he forfeited, having heard
that there was still another warrant in
the hands of the sheriff. He fled to
Montana and was not known to have
returned until his dead body was found
this morning
Mullan has been a particularly hard
town for some time, and two deputy
sheriffs have been kept there all the time,
and occasionally three. Threats have
been freely made that when marshal law
was abolished those who acted as part
OF it's machinery would be made to
suffer. As a precautionary measure the
officers have not Travelled about nights
except IN pairs, and to that precautiOn
Deputy Rose doubtless owes his life.
A Second Tragedy.
Wallace, Idaho, April 15.-Saturday
nights tragedy al Mullan was followed
last night by one at Gem. The assassin
was successful in his aims. He is now
at liberty with little prospect OF ever be-
ing apprehepded.
George Fisher was last nights victim.
He was shot down at 10 O'Clock in the
heart of town on Main street between
two populous saloons, without attract
ing attention. Fisher had been at Gem
about year and half, doing no work.

Cubans Have COMPROMISED.

Havana, April 13-At the opening
OF today's secret session of the constitu-
tional convention SenOr Nunez asked
that the convention either reject or ac-
cept the Platt amendment as the resolu
tlon adopted yesterday was not form
al declaration and was misleading. This
was opposed by the radicals, who have
always avoided taking a decided stand
The conservatives were pleased at the
point and as split was threatened
among the radicals a compromise was
offered and agreed to, by the terms of
which resolution was adopted by
which the convention would not express
itself either for or against the amend
ment and that a committee be sent to
Washington to secure the best possible
agreement with the president. The COM
mittee will not be authorized to settle
definitely the question of the relations
between the United States and Cuba, but
will report back to the convention.

The Holland submarine Boat

All OF our readers are familiar with
the Holland submarine boat, with which
it is possible to 60 about completely
under water. If the enemy have a big
warship lying in a strongly fortified
harbor the boat can be submerged and
make it's way to the ship, place a power
ful explosive under it, and blow it tC
pieces without appearing above water
While this boat secretly destroys ships
of the enemy, Hostetter's Stomach Bit
ters likewise attacks and overcomes dan
gerous diseases. A few doses will give
relief in any stomach, liver or blood dis
order. The bitters not only cure thu
sick, but prevent the we'll from becoming
sick. 1t should be taken by all who
need strengthening tonic.

There is an etiquette governing the
giving and receiving OF presents, as
there is about most things, because
there is always a best way to do every.
thing. If we penetrate below the sur.
face of the little courteous conventions
we shall find that consider alton FOR the
feelings of others underliea all. do not
try to make your Gift look as though it
cost morv than you paid fos it. Aside
from tha paltry spirit of such giving it
is delusIon and snare, for next year
your offering must seem to be as line as
the ono of this season, or you may
appear to have been less ANXIOUS to
p ease your friend. The lest gifts are
those which put no tax upon mater ial
resources, but trifIss of which the
recipients may make frequent use, and
SO keep the giver in mind. Take the
time to write few words of loving or
cordial greeting on the cards that ao-
company youc gifts. Without that
evidence of individual, personal thought
the offering of even the finest present
appears somewhat graceless and per!
functory. A message on card is better
than note, because more informal, and
one should not seem to make much of a
gift. Having your presents daintily
wrapped is not less matter of courtesy.
Let their outward appearance commend
them. Leave them or send thom to
their destination the day before Christ
mas-unless you can insure their re-
ception early in the day. A tardy gift
appears like an afterthought. Ladies'

HALO OF HEvELIUS.
Remarkable Meteorological observation

Remarkable Meteorological Observation
at cleveland.
Cleveland, o., Dec. IA remarKa-
BILE meteorological observation that will
undoubtedly become historical In astron-
omy was made here yesterday by the
Rev. Frederick Odenbach, S. j., pro.
fessor Of physics in st. Ignatius College.
The observation was that of the great
sun circle, or halo of Hevelius, which
has only been observed three times
before and probably never 30 perfect.
Preceding period OF low barometric
pressure. ha.os are often noticed about
the sun. The oommonest of these halos
is one that appears at a distance of %
degrees from the sun. An outer halo,
at distance of 46 degrees, is also oc-
oasIonally noted, but the great halo of
Hevelius, at distance of 80 degrees, as
observed by Prof. Odenbaoh, is great
rarity, and hundreds Of years may pass
before it is observed again. The inner
circle of % degrees was complete, por.
tions OF the 46 degree circle were dis
tinot. and the great circle of Hevelius
was distinct for half Its circumference.
