Many After Reward.

The question of a division of the
reward offered for the arrest of the
guilty parties is becoming of inter
est. The Davenport officers who dug
the sack of jewels out of a car of
corn under directions from the Rock
Island police want half the $500 and
the Peoria officers intimate that they
will not refuse anything that may be
offered them. Then Conductor Har-
ry Lee, who seems to have been the
first to suspect the pair arrested and
who put the officers of the law on
their trail expects also to be remcm-
bered. Between them all there is
considerable doubt where the Rock
Island officers are to come in.

adopted.
The first order was the selection
of county central committee, each
precinct reporting a member, and
then followed the election of a
chairman of the committee by the
convention. d. f. Mason of Occur
d'Alene nominated Chas. l.. Heit-
man, which nomination received
numerous seconds, and Mr.. Heit-

sponded in a speech that plainly
told that he appreciated the re-
newed evidence of appreciation and
confidence by the Republicans of
the county.
DR.. Frank Wenz was elected
treasurer, and r. c. Egbers, sec
rotary, of the committee.
The chairman of the committee,
MIR Heitman, asked that the con-
vention select an executive COM
mittee ofseven, of which the chair
man should be ex-oflicio a member,
and suggested the following names:
A. a. Crane, S. d. Taylor, A. V.
Chamberlain, Joseph Fisher, d. w.
Garwood and John f. Yost, and
upon motion they were elected an
executive committee to assist in
conducting the compaign.

STRONG TICKET.
Republicans of Kootenai Hold Their
Convention.

The Republicans of Xootenai
met at Standpoint last Tuesday and
named their ticket. 1t was the
largest convention in the history
of the party and there were few
proxies considering the long dis
lance many of the delegates had to
travel.
The nominations were all made
by reclamation, the contests having
been settled in a general caucus be-
fore the convention met, the gener-
al caucus having been attended by
over so of the 6S delegates. The
two most serious problems before
the delegates were the selection of
candidates for Senator aud Sheriff.
For the former place former Con-
gresham Willis Sweet and Editor
John F. Yost were aspirants. The
fact that Mr.. Sweets friends
were beaten at the primaries
in Occur d. Alene, his home pre-
cinct, and that he was opposed by
his home delegation, gave him little
strength in the convention. His
nomination was STRONGLY urged by
Harrison delegates led by A.A Crane
but poll of delegates showed A.
for Yost, which number was later
swelled to So by later arrivals.
Mr.. Sweets name was not present.
ed to the convention and Mr.. Yost
was nominated by acclamation.
For the nomination for sheriff
the situation was quite different.
Sheffield, of Rathdrum. and Whit
ney, of Boomers Ferry, both came
to the convention backed by their
home delegations, and other friends
in the convention. Rathdrum
made a gallant fight for their favor
lite, but an informal ballot taken in
in the caucus showed that Whitney
had the more votes, and MIR. Shelf
fields supporters made his selection
unanimous.
Hon. Chas. l.. Heitman. chair
man 0! the county central COM
mittee, called the convention to
order at few minutes past two
p. m. In a spirited address the
chairman extolled the merits OF
Republicanism and congratulated
the delegates on the bright prospects
for victory in the coming campaign
referring to the rapid increase OF
the Republican vote. At the con-
clusiOn of an able address, which
was punctuated with much APP.

I, J. Jones and elected by acclama-

thanking the convention, tenn

 The once famous and petted Taglioni,

 Normandy, in 1924 Her parents came to
 this country while she was q child and
 settled in New Orleans, where she made
 her debut on the American stage. While
 still a child she travelled through Europe.
 and had the honor of being invited to Queen Virtoria's palace to perform her wonderful Ieats before the royal family. It was Taglioni's great boast In her old age that she sat several times on the
 knees of the then youthful Queen of Great Britain. She also won the applause and admiration of the Emperor of Ger many, who pronounced her the most graceful creature he had ever seen. Mile. Beranger later travelled with a manager, and before completing her teens had acquired a large fortune. At the age | of 20 she again visited America. and here | fell in love with and married Colonel Andrew Parker, wealthy merchant of | Savannah. During the Civil War she accomplished the most wonderful feats to | aid the Confederate Army, and at one | time rescued her husband from prison by | disguising herself as a peasant boy At the age of 40 Taglioni. after losing her | husband her four children and her for tune, again appeared on the stage, but soon afterward met with an accident while walking a tigEtrope which com pelled her finally to abandon her pro- fession.
 She later married M. Wise, a well-to-
 do French nobleman, and lived perma-
 nently in New York and Philadelphia.

Hungarian Wives Wigs.

Here in Essex, Ludlow. Suffolk, Brome and Delaney Streets, says The New York Press, we meet a great many women of all ages who wear wigs of perfectly straight hair plastered to their shaven heads. They are Hungarian wives. The wig Is put on immediately after the marriage ceremony to tell their world that they are welded and faithful to their husbands. The most beautiful hair is shaved off and the head covered with the cheapest of wigs. in order to render these women plain and unattractive to other men. It is a religion to appear as ugly as possible as a defense against design ing males.

NOT AS A PRECEDENT
OSCARS DECISION NOT BINDING
 IN FUTURE.
If So Regarded Development of Com merce of United States in Foreign Lands Would
 Be Retarded.

Washington, Oct. 23.-An intimation has been, received here that King Oscar of Sweden, who is acting as the arbitrator of the: issues between the United States, Germany and Great Britain, growing out of the Samoan rebellion of 1899, will decide adversely to the United States.
 By the terms of the treaty. under which the three powers agreed to submit these claims to arbitration the arbitrator was first to declare whether or not the Ameri- cans and British were at all liable for damages and if So, then he was to decide the amount of that liability, though 1t is stated here that no official notice to that effect has yet been conveyed to our gov ernment
 The next step is to fix the amount of the damages and this must be done by King Oscar upon the basis of the facts now to be presented by the representa- tves of the governments concerned. The German claims are far larger than the others, amounting to $03,9l8 while, the American claims are $7o,605 and the Brit ish only $6,2sA
 1t Is not the amount of money involved In this approaching decision of the arbi- lrator that concerns the government of he United States, but rather the enuncia- lion of principle, which, if accepted as ! precedent, would be unpalatable and would so seriously restrict American lights in foreign countries in case of revolution or riot, jeopardizing the lives and property of our friends, that it would amount to the total withdrawal of pro- lection. This can never be admitted, and 30 it may be positively stated, that while the United States Government will ac- cept the arbitration Loyalty and pay any damages assessed against it, it will utter ly refuse to be bound by such a principle or to recognize 1t as establishing prece' dent. ..T -3
 These considerations will lead to- the declination to recognize the decision as a precedent and incidentally to the sub mission of the next similar case to The Hague tribunal in the hope of another and different decision.
