BOARD OF PARDONS ACTS.
"DiamOnd Field Jack" Will be Set
at Liberty.

Boise, Idaho, Dec. 19.-By vote of
two to one, the state board of pardons
has granted pardon to "Diamond
Field Jack" Davis, who was convicted
and sentenced to death in April, 1897,
for the murder of two Cassia county
sheep herders.
The murders were the result of bit
ter war between the cattle and sheep
men of Southern Idaho, and the action
of the board ends one of the most ia
nous cases in the west. The Davis case
went through the state courts and the
United States supreme court, and has
been before the board OF pardons four
times. In July, 1901, Davis sentence
was committed to life imprisonment.

DIVIDE WHITMAN COUNTY.
Petitions Will he Presented to tho
Legislature.

Spokane. Dec. 20.-A scheme to di-
vide Whitman county into three coun-
ties is causing much comment at Colfax
and other towns of the Palouse country.
The scheme is to make Oakesdale the
county seat of one county and Pullman
the other new county seat, leaving Col
fax as at present the county seat of
Whitman county proper. Petitions to
the legislature are now in circulation
asking that the three northern tiers of
townships in Whitman county, with
the northern odd sections in township
II, be detached and Oakesdale made
the county seat.

Prohibition Loses.

Ottawa, Ont, Dec. 17.-Returns from
the referendum election upon the ques-
ton of putting the prohibition act into
effect in the province of Ontario, are
nearly all in and indicate that the vote
in favor of the act fell short OF the
number required, although the afiirma-
tive received a majority of 10000.
The referendum fails, however, because
it received less than the required per-
centage of the vote cast at the general
provincial election of 1898,

Washington, Dec. 20.-The house

Kansas affecting laRds within the linn

public lands, arid or semi-arid, not
mineral or timbered lands, and not re-
quired for public purposes, for private
lands in like area and character in the
alternate sections granted to railroad

CLERKS WILL PROTEST..
Wages Cut to Offset Advances Il
Mechanical Help.

Topeka, Kan, Dec. 2O.-The diff
Guilty which the Western roads are find
ing in keeping enough mechanical help
is affecting in a peculiar manner the
clerks they employ. Some of the roads,
the Snata Fe included, have begun re-
ducing the salaries of the office en-
ployes.
The high wages paid to mechanical
help makes it necessary, it is claimed,
to retrench in expenses, and the roads
are doing this among their office forces.
No organization exists among the
clerks, but it is understood that steps
will be taken to request the roads to
discontinue the reduction policy.

FEAR LIVES ARE LOST.
Blizzard in Wyoming One of the
Worst Ever Known.

Denver, Colo, Dec. 2O.-A special to
the Republican from Laramie, Wvo.,
says yesterdays blizzard was the worst
ever known. It is believed that consid-
cradle loss of life will result. All the
stages running from Laramie, except
that to Centennial, forty miles distant,
returned after vainly trying to brave
the storm. The Centennial stage has
not returned, and it is feared that the
driver and his passengers have per-
ished. A special from Cheyenne says
the coal shortage has already caused
hardship which has been accentuated
by the days storm, which has made it
impossible to deliver coal in the city.
Ali street traffic has been stopped. The
storm continues undated.

RIDING TO HOUNDS.
FAIR OEVoTEES OF THIS DANGER
GUS AND EXCITING SPORT.

Women Who Rival Men In SEiIIfuI
and Daring Horsemanship Jump
Five Foot Fences In Pursuit of
Rcynard-A PcriIous Pastimc.
This is the season when those lucky
folks who have the inclination as well
as time ana money mount their thor
oughbred hunters and pursue sly Sir
Rcynard over hill and dale to the mu-
sic of beating hoofs and baying
hounds.
Sometimes the pursuit of the fox Is
diversified by Il run after an aniseed
bag dragged over the ground as n
scent for the dogs TO follow. But it
amounts to pretty much the same thing
i'll the end. for the bag is dragged over
a course fully as difficult as the one
likely To be chosen by the huShy tailed
fox, and the glory of first in at the
death is us eagerly competed for.
From now until Christmas those who
dwell near the haunts of the Meadow
Brook hunt on Long Island and the
Radnor and Rose Tree hunts. near
Philadelphia. may hear the baying
hounds on any morning and if they
choose 10 90 alield may behold the gay
company of riders in all their fine ar
ray.
These three hunt clubs. organized cx-
clusvcly for the sport of fox chasing
on horseback, are the most famous of
the kind in America.
The Meadow Brook hunt bears the
distinction Of having President Roose-
welt as fellow member. The 3GO odd
milionaires who compose this club also
take pride in the knowledge that two
women among them are acknowledged
to be the leading horsewomen in Amer
lea They are Mrs james l.. Kcrno-
chan and Mrs Emily I.adenburg.
Mrs. Kernochan is perhaps the better
known III this country, where she does
all her hunting, mostly around New
York where she began making her rep
utation as fearless horSCwoman
about five or six years ago. As Miss
EloiSe Stevenson she cared not one lot
or little for fox hunting. but shortly
after her marriage she cultivated n
! fondneSs for it. and now she is one of
the regulars at every club hunt She
has not missed Il half dozen meets in

the years she has been following the
hounds. and the Meadow Brook aver
ages three Il week
Fellow huntsmen say Mrs. Kerno-
chan is absolutely without fear She
''rides straight" as they say. Fences
or walls have no tcrrors for her nor do
they cause her to draw rein. but many
men balk at such obstacles and prefer
TO go around rather than risk their pre-
cious necks in jump. Mrs. kernochan
has suffered several falls but has al
ways escaped serious injury.
Mrs. Ladenburg, like Mrs. Kerno-
chan, is young and fair. She is the wild
ow of Adolph Ladenburg and has
fortune of about $7.O00.000. She spends
a good bit of her income in hunting,
not only on Long Island. but in Europe.
at Newport and at Aiken, y. c. Unlike
her fair rival, she grew up in the sad
die. AS Il mere girl she hunted WI
the Rockaway hounds, of which D..
brother, Eben Stevens. was mt one time
master.
Among other accomplished and fear
less women hunters are Miss Ran
dolph. daughter of William c. Whit
ney's second wife, who was mortally
injured while following the hounds at
Aiken, S. c.. Mrs. Gushing. Mrs. H.
Van Il. Kennedy, Miss May Bird. Miss
Maud Livingston and Mrs Stanley
Mortimer, all constant attendants at
the meets.
Among the men the palm is generally
accorded TO 7. +. Collier. He is the
Oldest active huntsman by all odds
Most men stop following the hounds
when they reach middle age, but Mr.
Collier at seventy odd years attends
the meets with as clocklike regularity
as he did in his younger days. When
ever the bugle sounds the start he is
pretty sure to be on hand, and before
the hunt is over he usually manages TO
run away from nearly all the young
bloods who endeavor to keep up with
him.
The Vanderbilts and Goulds have not
until recently taken up this dangerous
and exciting sport. Reginald and Al
fred Vanderbilt. like George Gould. are
well known as polo players and from
this have graduated into huntsmen.
George Gould has planned to build a
house on the Hampstead plains and as
this is in the heart of the fox hunting
country on Long Island he may be ex-
pected to join his fellow millionaires in
the pursuit of the fox and risk his neck
for the sake of the coveted brush"

Previous to 1885 the honor of de-

she hailed In the first race for the

sailors in Great Britain gives ZeSt to

Besides the cost of a new yacht to be
constructed by the HerreShoifs there
will be the expense of reftting the
Columbia and the Constitution as trial
horses. The new boat will cost in the
neighhorhood of 100000. and the other
expenses will probably foot up 100000
more. Besides there is the item of pay
for officers and men of the three boats.
which will aggregate 100000. All this
and more will be gladly paid by the
mllionaires' syndicate for the sake of
the cphemeral glory of being cup de-
tenders.
The coming contest will be the thir-
teenth in which American boats have
sailed for the cup, including the race
in which the yacht America won he

Sir Thomas Upton has spent over

The outlay for defending the cup nat
urally is much smaller than that which
falls upon the challenger. and when,
as in the present case the expense is
divided among several the individual
cost is small when the wealth of the
men is considered. Still, ordinary folks
would think themselves well to do
