Another reason for patronizing
this department. is that these
houses have gone to enormous ex-
pense to send their samples and in
every case have done it cheerfully
and without a cents expense to
anyone but themselves. Show
them that their effort is appreciated
and that Idaho County is a worthy
recipient of such favors and it will
aid us in this department in all
our future conventions and not
only in Idaho County, but Sunday

Do not be so unkind as to think
this is being done to boost any

Letters were sent all over the

supplies so as to bring out the
strong points of everything sent.
AN EXCEPTIONAL OPPORTUNITY
DO not underestimate this de-
partment. Those who have ever
attended Sunday School con-
vention and have seen such a
display of literature and helps will
say that its influence as an edu-
Gator to every Sunday School
and every Sunday School worker
cannot be estimated.
COME PREPARED TO TAKE ADvANT-
AGE OF THIS, OPPORTUNITY.
A limited number of some of the
very best helps have been sent.
with instructions to sell them at
this Convention. Those, of course
who come prepared to take adj
vantage of these sales will be the
lucky ones, for, as the agents of
these firms, we have no right or
authority to sell them for anything
but cash and for the prices stipu-
lated. And right here l wish to
say that | have been actively en-

Tom Reeds Plain Talk

Ez.Spaaker Thouas B. Reed has .
mind and tongue Of his oWn-a very
bright and vell-stored mind and one Of
the sharpest Of all the tongues that are
now wsgging. Mr.. Reed does not like
the present national administration
and does not mind saying so. He was
in Baltimore few days ago and The
News Of that city has this to say Of the
manner in which he unbosomed him
self while there: ''Oa the great ques.
tions now before the people Mr.. Reed
has decided opinions, and does not
hesitate TO express them. He reafirm-
ed most emphstically his opposition to
the imperialistic policy Of the admins
tratfon. In his opinion, DsWey have
sailed away from Monteio's feet, lesv-
ing the government Of the Islands to
the Bilipinos. Cubs ard Porto Rico,
too, should be left to their own dsvices.
The present policy towards Cuba he
regards as piece Of hypocrisy. Mr.. Reed
like the late ez-President Harrison, is
an ardent friend Of the Beers. I sym
pathize with any people on earth, said
he, who are strugglisg for freedom.
Asked whether he thought the Filipinos
capable Of self government, he said: l
think every people is capable Of self
government. It may not be the kind
We have or want, but it is the kind that
is satisfactory and sufficient for them"
Mr.. Reed is treading dangerously near
the verge Of treason" according to
the imperialist definition Of that crime.

a. Noble Act.

A dispatch from jackson, Miss, to
the Atlanta Journsl says John Carey,
white conv:cs, sent up from Lauder
dale county for burglary, and who is
now serving term Of twelve years in
the Mississippi penitentiary, will in ell
probability be pardoned by the governor
in few days, because Of his heroic sc
tien in giving warning to pssse niger
train and lhereby saving it from Wrt OK
and perhaps number Of lives. Carey
was upon Okley plantation, in Kinds
county, and being sick he was allowed
to take short walk down the railroad
track. BE saw that one Of the steel
rails vas broken, and knowing it was
about time fer the passenger train to
pass, he ran up the track as far as he
had time and Hsgged the train. The
passengers on board the train, whose
lives be probably saved, have gotten up
petieion asking tba5 he te pardoned,
and after the pardon is rece m mended
By the beard Of control it will be pre-
sezted to the governor, anditi is thought
he will grant it.

BETTER WITHOUT.
What An Ohio Judge Has to Say About
Divorces.

Evidence continually multip!ies that
South Csrolina's lack CT a law works
better than divorce laws in other states,
even though thoy be not very liberal.
One day last week, Judge Frank E.
Del!eobauah granted seven divorces in
the divorce division Of the common
pleas court in Cleveland, O. In grant.
ing the seventh, be said: ''The number
Of divorce cases coming before this
court is appalling" Hunting for an ex
plsntieD, be said:
''Two-thirds Of the divorce cases
that come before me are due to early
marriages.. / believe that the same
would hold true in sll divorce courts.
Young people marry before they are old
enough to form sensible views on matri-
mony or on the character of those they
marry. There have been young wives
here weeping for divorces who uust
have been SO Toung at the time they
were married that spanking would have
been more appropriate. Young men
are IS great fools as young women.
There is another class Of foolish mar.
riages in which mstrimony is contract
ed before the parties have been scquaint-
ed long enough to know each other
thoroughly. These hasty and unfertu
nate marriages are usually contrsced by
very young persons, go that it comes
back to the same prop rosit!ou of too
early marriage. When the injudicious
marrisee has besn made there is moth
ing left but life Of misery for each Of
the parties to itor the divorce court,
and as the divoEse record show keeps
growing. It shameful, and the lessons
Of the divorc ecourt ought to teach
young people who are in hurry to get
married to 60 SLOW
1t seems to The Record that the
Ohio Judge beat around the bush for
the ZEAL and palpable reason for the
condition for which he was seeking
a cause If in Ohio, as in S,uth Caro-
lima, divorces were prohibited, there
would not only be no divorces, but the
marriage Contract would have greater
ssnctity. Knowing it to be bindiag,
people would not 50 lightly enter into
it as they do where they know that
should the marriage fetters prove gall
ing, it is a very easy matter to get
judge to remove them. Worse, if
perron after marriage meets some one
whom he or she fsncies more that the
first partner, the divorce court offers
ready way Of defying the divine com.
maud, "Whom God hath Joined to.
gether, let not man rut asunder," and
so making it possible to crafty the
fancy. From all such evils South Caro-
lima is free, and may she ever be free
from them.-Oolumbis Record.

A Tempest at Sea.

Bstter:d by 6e ce seas aud tossed

and run before the Jury Of the blast.
Great seas broke over the starboard side
with enormous forc', the lifeboats on
the upper deck were wrenched from the
dsvits aud smashed, the davits being
bent almost double. Two of the life

New Trials Granted.

The Kentucky court ofappeals Thurs
day granted new trials to Caleb Powers
and James Howard, sentenced in the
lower court to life inprisoDmen, and
death, respectively, in connection Eith
the shooting in February, 1900, Of Gov.
VIM. Goebel. In the Howard case the
entire court concurred, but in the Pow
ers decision Judges Hobson, Psynter
and White dissented. The decision IN
the Powers case holds the Taylor par
don invalid, but orders new trial on
the ground Of erroneous instructions to
the jury and admission of incompetent
testimony. The Howard case is reversed
because Of erroneous instructions, in
competent evidence admitted in the trial
and other minor points. The trial Of
Povsrs probably will take place at
GEORGETOWN, in May. Towards case
probably will be passed until the fall
term.

A nURDEg MYSTERY SOLVED.
a Cruel Man Chained His Wife in
a Dungeon.

Workmen removing cellar wall un-
der delspidated building Just north
Of the bridge that crosses Fair Haven
river, q quarter Of q mile above
Carver's Falls, Vermont, have apparent
ly unearthed evidence which solves the
mystery Of a murder which occurred 20
years ago. The discovery was made by
accident, the laborers having fallen into
pit while trying to lift some heavy
stones. The pit was about eight feet
deep, with solid stone wall about 20
inches thick surrounding 1t. In the
center Of the pit vas set a solid iron
post attached to which was heavy
iron chain and an old fashioned pair Of
handouts. Nearby Was . heap Of hu-
man bones.
Inquiry disclosed the fact that in
1881 Perry Borden, . young French.
man, brought lis young wife to Poult-
ney to live in the house which the
Workmen are tearing down. She was
witty and vivacious and attracted con-
siderable attention. In short time
Borden became jealous Of her and for
bsde her visiting scsrtain tavern near
by. The wife would not submit to be
dictated to. Ore night in February,
1881, she vas at the place when at about
10 o'clock Borden called for her. She
left the place with him. She never was
seen By her friends after that. Nj. Bor-
den said his wife had deserted him and
fed to Canada
After year Borden vent away and
was not heard Of again until 1882, when
be suddenly reappeared in town. He
ssid he had been at sea for the 50yesrs
he had been away. His mind seemed
shattered, He went to the little house
and remained two years, neighbors sup
ply ing him with provisions. BE finally
took sick and the town took charge Of
him. Ee died in 1887 and was buried
in Potter's field.

SEVEN BOLD BANDITS
Raid en- Ohio Town and Blow up a
Bank Building.

Seven bandits partially wrecked the
State bank Of Somerset, Ohio, early
Wednesday by exploding 8 heavy charge
Of nitro glycerine in the vault doors,
secured $4,000, appropriated two livery
rigs, held a posse Of citizens at bay,
and escaped in the face Of a heavy fire.
Bonds and securities to the amount Of
$50, 900 and S., 900 in gold coin were
overlooked by the bandits. The bank
was fully insured and its business will
not be interrupted.
A heavy explosion in the bank build.
ing shortly before 2 . m. aroused cit
izens living in the vicinity Of the Bank
Of Son erset. John Hayes, whose home
is opposite the bank building, raised a
window and quietly observed four men
stationed in front Of the bank. He saw
that the whole front Of the two story
brick building in which the institution
was located had been shattered, and
believing he could frighten away the
men who, it was evident, vera much
alarmed by the strength Of the ezplo-
sion, hastily donned his clothes and sal
lied forth. When be reached the side.
walk he was challenged and, under the
influence Of four rifles pointed at his
head, again mounted the stairs and &C.
cured arms. Meanvhile manv other
psrsons began to appear in the darkened
streets Of the village, VIM. Lovett
opened FIRE on the bandits with o rife,
but his aim vas not Of the best and his
shots only served to draw the FIRE Of the
robbers. The shooting soon became
general as the citizens crept toward the
oaDk from all directions, and the rob.
bers evidently began to think Of es.
cape.
At sign from the four on guard,
three others emerged from the bank,
bearing several sacks in which they had
hurriely placed their loot. The rob
bers we're under good discipline and their
leader gave his orders like 3 military
leader: ALI Re ady, forward, march"
Sinsle file they marched under the
shadows Of the trees which lined the
sidewalks, turned corner, climbed into
two rigs and dro7ein a norshWesterly
direction. Citizens took up the chase
and at 4 a. m. found the rigs, deserted
along the roadside. The sheriff Of
Perry county had been notified By tele.
phone and arrived at daylight with .
pack Of bloodhounds, which we're used
in the chase, The robbers were sue
cessfully traced around town by the
hounds. It was found they had broken
open blacksmith shop to secure tools,
and then had taken the rigs in which
they escaped from livery stable near
the bank.

Daring KidnaDpers.

A daring attempt was made to kid
nap Edward MoAvoy, II years Of age,
Of WelkesDane, Pc, Wednesday. Two
men picked bim up in the yard Of his
fathers house, carried him to a surrey,
placed handkerchief, saturated with
chloroform over his moose and drove
away. The child became unconscious
from the drug and when he survived
found himself on the back seat Of the
7ehic 9 which was then jarring over a
country road. Young McAvoy jumped
from the carriage. One Of the men
ran after him hut the youngter's cries
attracted the attention of the occupants
Of another carriage which was passing
st the time and the kidnsppers beoom-
ing scared, whipped up their horses and
disappeared.
