The Gambler,

Chicago, April 7.-Daniel A. Doherty,
an English ticket of leave man, who is
well known in gambling resorts of New
York and London, has caused the arrest
here of his former wife, Mary Doherty.
whom he charges with obtaining money
from him under false pretenses. Fifteen
years ago in London Doherty shot and
killed Colonel George Graham of New
York, following a dispute over a poker
game that began on a transatlantic
liner and was continued at the Churchill
club in Piccadilly. Doherty was SEN
fenced to life imprisonment and was con
fined until 1898, when he was released
on ticket of leave. Doherty bases his
charge against bis former wife upon allie
cations that she secured a divorce from
him while he was a prisoner, but with
held the fact from him and continued to
take money from him for her mainte-
nance. He alleges that since she OBJ
tanned a divorce from him in Phila-
delphia in 1896, she has had from him
about $1,000. He also states that when
ne went to prison he gave her over
$4,000.

SECOND CASE OF SMALLPOX
GEORGE Young, a Well Known Pioneer,
Stricken With the Disease.
NO ldea Where He Contracted 1t,
AS So Far As Known, He
Had Not Been Near.

George Young, well known pioneer,
former deputy sheriff and a secret society
man, was found Saturday morning to
De smallpox victim at his Main street
lodgings. For week or ten DAYS he
had been Ill, but this was generally
ascrlbed to his hard work as a nurse for
Andrew Donnelly, who died last week at
the hospital
Saturday morning VIM. Curry, former
county iailer, visited him on a detail
from the Odd Fellows lodge. Mr.. Young
was very sick, and in an attempt to
give him sponge bath Mr.. Curry was
more or less taken aback to find that
his patient was thoroughly broken ont
with smallpox, the second case at Col
fax during all the epidemic of months
from the Pacific to the Atlantic.
Mr.. Young is rather an aged man Int
Is in no serious danger at last accounts.
lie was promptly removed by the city
authorities as soon as the disease de-
veloped and isolated at the pest house
built by the city on the pest house
grounds a mile up the South PalOuse
from the business district of town.
The disease is not in dangerous form.
Mr.. Young was taken charge of by the
county commissioners, and everything
necessary to his own safety and that of
the community is being done. Farmers.
though, who were IN town, objected
vigorously to his transportation
through the streets while they we're in
town in the afternoon. The physicians
say there wassno danger of infection,
under their precautions.
Mr.. Young is under the care of George
Mckinney, in the employ of the county
at $3.50 a day. The commissioners
now have under consideration Mr.. Nc
kinney's proposal to serve as smallpox
nurse at $3.50 q wear.

TO SCHOOL PATRONS.
An Address From County Superin-
tendent Roberts.

Officially, County School Superintend-
ent Roberts has issued the following ad-
dress to school patrons throughout the
county:
while we are all proud of the rapidly
increasing efficiency of our common
schools, let us be reminded that there is
still much to be desired in making our
school premises more attractive.
Besides the general satisfaction all
enjoy in the neat appearance of public
property, the young people of our
schools insensibly weave into their
habits and character much of the gen
eral influence of their surroundings.
1.-The annual election of school officers
this year occurs May 18th, a month
earlier than heretofore. These occasions
are all too commonly neglected, for here
are chosen the men and women who d.
rect school affairs often by a very
meager attendance of those interested.
Every voter having any interest what
ever in our schools, should attend the
school election.
"ArbOr Day having come so early this
year that it was impossible to observe
1t IN Whitman county, let US combine
the usual observance of Arbor Day with
the performance of the duties of election
day. Plant a few hardy trees and
shrubs. Clean up and smooth the
grounds. Plan for neat, substantial
fence and turn-stile. Arrange for a wide
porch and fill up the holes near the
steps where water stands to be tracked
into the house. Maybe the house needs
painting. Are there window shades and
are they we'll hung? Is the floor worn
out in places? Is the foundation open
causing cold feet? Are the seats poorly
put together aud i'll arranged? Are
there plenty of coat and hat hooks and
are there shelves for lunch boxes? Is
there at least one comfortable chair?
"TO be sure, there are many progress
sive schools in Whitman, for whom
these things are not written, for a num-
Der, even in the country, leave little to
be done along the lines suggested, yet
even some very prosperous towns, have
school premises susceptible to improve
ment.
Let every voter, man or woman,
Think on these things and on Satur-
day, May II, not only vote, but help to
set at work such influences and forces as
shall result IN more wholesome en-
virOnment for our schools.
No, it will not do to plead for want
OF funds. Almost all districts are quite
comfortable in this particular and the
last legislature has provided for an in
crease OF One-fourth more in the state
school fund, than has been provided
heretofore. Only the manifestation of
proper interest on the part of our peo-
pie is needed.
Let us improve the appearance, ex-
ternally and internally of our schools"

MAN FROM NORTH DAKOTA.
He Witnessed a PalOuse Winter
and Liked 1t.

]. n. Troup of North Dakota arrived
at Coltax Saturday in time to see the
fits and starts of the weather. Wet
snOwtiakes fell without winds that day.
Mr., Troup was admiring the farm ma
chinery at an implement store. A ma
tive came in with his overcoat buttoned
tight around his neck and gave vent to
his feelings to Joe Canutt:
"How do you like this for winter?" he
asked.
The man from North Dakota was
quick in replying:
''DO you consider this a winter day?
If so, | would be pleased to see a sum-
mer day, and am well satisfied that

BIG STRIKE ON SANTA
Coarse Gold Under But Three to
Five Feet of Dirt.
With Imperfect Cleanup S3OS Was
Taken From Pit Forty by
Fifteen Feet.

A promising placer gold strike has
been made three miles above the mouth
OF dry gulch leading from the south
side into Santa creek, a tributary of the
st. Maries river, Idaho. The discoveries
were three Tyson brothers of Farming
ton. They packed in lumber for two
lengths of sluice boxes and remained
thirty days. The weather was bad a
great deal of the time and full time was
not put in. A pit about forty feet long
and 3 feet wide was ground sluiced off.
with bedrock from three to FIVE feet deem,
Absolutely reliable authority is that
S30S came from this, though the clean
up was made with two inches of water
running over the bedrock, making any,
thing like thOroughness impossible. The
gold IL coarse, the largest nugget weigh
ing 1925. The discovery is but one
days ride from either Pennington or
Tekoa, .and is almost directly east:from
Pennington. 1t is directly in the belt
between the Occur d'Alenes and the Hoo
doc placers on the North Palouse. 1t is
believed by those familiar with the dis
trict that other gulches in the vicinity
are good ground. The only drawback
is that they can only be worked while
is too much water.
Stampede Is On.
A strong attempt to suppress the
news has been made. The latest direct
information from the camp was about
March 81, when eight locations had
been made along the gulch.
A party of eleven left Tekoa Sunday
night for an ali-night ride to the dig
gings to head off supposed Farming
ton party. There was great excitement
as soon as the report leaked out at these
towns.
This strike is quite distance from the
claims of Councilman Mastin of Colfax,
which are above the forks of the St.
Maries.
Those able to Judge are positive that
with five skilled men $1,000 can easily be
taken from claim inside of thirty days.

INVESTIGATING CARPET TRADE,
Industrial Commissions Committee
InterXieM GeOrge McNeir


NEW YORK, May 24.-The subcommittee
of the United States industrial commission
continued its hearing in this city today.
George McNeir, secretary of the W. & j..
Sloane Company, was the first witness
called. Mr.. McNeir presented a statement
embodying the present standing of the car
pet trade and its growth during the past
fifty years. In 1870, Mr. McNeir said, 80
per cent of all carpets used in the United
States were imported, while now 90 per
cent is manufactured at home. The annual
manufacture In the United States, he said,
exceeds s15,OOO,00O in value. A compare
lively small export business is done the
American manufacturers being unable to
compete successfully with the European
maker. who can obtain his raw material
duty free
Mr.. McNer suggested that the duty on
wool for carpet manufacture be made ad
Valorem II IT cannot be abolished alto
gether. He declared the trade to be in a
fiourishing condition and returning a fair
interest on the capital invested.
MIR. McNeir said the duty on straw mat
ting should be increased to at least GO per
cent as under present conditions the mar
ket is flooded with goods from Japan and
China. where the laborer is paid to 10
cents day against the 50 day demanded
by the American worker on ingram carpet
Despite that handicap the witness said the
cheap grade of American carpets are max
ing their way. He said that last wear
3s,Wo.ooo yards of straw mating were i'm
ported at the cost of American trade Of at
least half that quantity of ingram or tap
estry carpets.
Asked as to the profits of the retail
trade the witness said nothing but a rea-
sonable profit was made.
The commission will go this afternoon to
South Manchester, Conn, where the silk
works of Cheney Brothers will be visited.
