father who has taken his step
sister to the Sacred Heart hospital.
If he is the same, then this is his
history:
"Smith was Benedictine father
of the Benedictine monastery at
Conception, Mo. You can find
his name in the'directory Of former
years. He is approximately 40
years old. He was pastor of a
parish in st. Joseph, Nc. His
name then was Dominick Wagner,
and as pastor at st. Joseph, he
made grave mistakes, and finally.
to avoid the penitentiary, he mar
ried the girl. He was then from
five to seven years around the
states. Two years ago he came to
the abbot who was then with the
Franciscans in St. Louis He
pleaded for pardon and wished to
return to the ministry. The
abbot sent him to the Trappists
at Gethsemane, KY, and after
three months he came back to the
abbot with testimonials from the
Trappists.
"He then employed different
means to secure position in the
sanctuary of the church, but his
efforts were of no avail. Since he
was too well known in the western
states the abbot could not assist
him, but finally Bishop Glorieux
of Boise, upon my recommends
ton, assigned him to Cottonwood.
"On February IA, 1902, he en-
tered upon his ministerial duties.
A short time after his arrival the
girl came from the east whom h.
employed as housekeeper When
/ learned of this I informed him
that l doubted if this girl really
was his sister. He denied my
charge Finally upon the recon
mendation of both myself ant
Father Keyzer of Genesee, Idaho
he was dismissed from the minis
try on June 80, 1902 He then
came to Spokane and since then
have known nothing of his actions.
After leaving here the girl en-
tered the Sacred Heart hospita
as nurse, but since the investiga
ton begun has disappeared ant
her whereabouts are unknown.
Whatever the outcome of tn
investigation may be it is quit
probable that both will leave thi
part of the country.

Here From Idaho.

j. NJ. Mcdonald, who went to
Grangevillc, Idaho, some months
ago, is here visiting among friends
while ON his way to Washington
city on business and professional
trip. Mr.. Mcdonald brings back
with him glowing accounts of the
fertility of Idaho which he backs
up with various samples of wheat,
oats and apples. He has a sample
OF white Russian oats which raised
so bushels to the acre, red Russian
wheat which yielded 65 bushels TO
the acre, and these yields are
backed mp by aflidavits from the
officials of the Grangeville bank.
But the best of all are the luscious
looking apples, Of which he had a
few. They are perfect and large,
and grow in profusion on the
Grangeville prairie.
Mr.. Mcdonald says, however
that farming is the secondary bust.
ness of the people of Grangevillt
and vicinity. The business O
mining is of chief Importance, the
surrounding territory being rich ii
mineral deposits. Mr.. Mcdonald
home friends will rejoice to know
that he is prosperous in this lane
of "milk and honey. "-Seymoul

During the late campaign certain
radical democratic newspapers OBJ
jected to the candidacy Of the Hon.
Burton Leroy French because he
was educated at Rockefeller's
Northwestern university, where it
is supposed only trust ideas are
inculcated into the youthful mind.
How absured. Now that the election
is over and the unvarnished truth
is published to the world, we find
that much-abused Chicago educa-
tional institution ia a strictly re-
ligious school where they sing songs
ofpraise and chant anthems of glory
every day-the members Of the
college football teams closings
their practice games with the
"doxology." According to the
press dispatches the following was
sung at the "gridiron feast" Of the
Chicago Press club in conjunction
with the members Of the university
football team, the University OF
Chicago, Of course, included:
"Praise John, from whom oil bless
ings flow;
Praise also Bill, who spends the
dough;
Praise John, praise Bill, praise all
their host
Praise Bill q little-John d. the

says the press report, sang this re

Looking for Boys.

An exchange strikes the nail on
the head in the following:
"When we see the boys on the
street and inpublic places we often
wonder if they know that the bust
ness men are watching them. In
every bank, store, or Office there
will soon be a place for a boy to
fill. Those who have the manage
ment of the affairs of the business
will select a boy in whom they
have confidence. When they Sc
lect one of the boys they will not
select him for his ability to
swear, use slang, smoke cigarettes,
or tap beer kegs. These men have
a few of these habits themselves,
but they are looking for boys who
are as near gentlemen in every
sense of the word as they can find,
and they are able to give the char
acter of every boy in the city.
They are not looking for rowdies,
and when boy applies for one OF
these places and is refused they
may not tell the reason why
they do not want him, but the boy
can depend upon it he has been
rated according to his behavior.
Boys cannot afford to adopt the
habits and conversation of loafers
and rowdies if they ever want &c
be called to responsible positions. u

SHOULD NOT HOARD CASH
Idaho Supreme Court Scores
County Officers.

The supreme court, in two i'm
portant cases decided last week,
takes occasion to excoriate county
treasurers and commissioners who
allow the public funds to be
''hoarded in banking institutions
to be used for private purposes"
In the first case, entitled j. j.
Chambers, appellant, versus Custer
county, the supreme court reyerses
the judgment of the district court
in rather vigorous opinion by
Chief Justice Quarles, which says
in part: The board Of county
commissioners have supervision
and control over the office Of
county treasurer and should see,
as it is their duty to do, that the
public moneys of the county APP
plicable to the payment of its debts
should be paid thereon and not
boarded in banking institutions
to be used for private purposes"
In the other case the court says:
"The action Of the county treas
urer in depositing moneys in said
bank, unless he did so upon spe-
ial deposit, was contrary to the
criminal statutes Of this state.
The county treasurer acts under
the general supervision Of the
board OF county commissioners
It is the duty Of the county COM
missioners to see that the public
moneys of the county are not de,
posted in banks or used for private
purposes otherwise than upon
special deposit for safe keeping

Nav Cut Timber.

In the United States district
court last week, in a suit brought
by the government to recover the
value of timber cut off a mineral
location in the Lewis and CLARK
forest reserve, Judge Knowles de-
cided that the .locators OF mineral
claims in the forest reserves ha q
the right to cut timber OIL their
locations.
This is the first decision OF the
sort. and will have a far reaching
effect.

THE NEW COUNTY.

The question Of creating new
county from portions Of Idaho,
Nez Perez and Shoshone is again
being agitated, and while there is
little probability Of its success peo-
pie should study the situation care
fully before giving it their indorse-
ment. Those in this county who
would be included in the new one
should be especially interested and
make a vigorous fight against it.
Idaho county has the smallest per
capita Indebtedness Of any county
in the state while Shoshone has
the largest. A new county would
have to assume it's proportion Of
the indie btedness of the counties
from which it was created, and cit
liens Of this county would find
themselves burdened with q debt
that would require the taxes Of
a generation to pay. Besides
there could be no possible advan-
tage for any one on the prairie to
be placed in a new county. They
would be just as far from the seat
Of government as they are at pres
emit and, with Lawyers canyon to
cross would have q great deal
worse roads to travel.
The whole movement is the
work of politicians who are frantic
for office and our people who pay the
taxes should be careful that they
are not deceived into lending
them assistance.
