this Week,

A couple of accidents occurred
this week at Boise which resulted
in the sad death of three Young
people. On Wednesday while the
wife Of James Stephenson of Boise
was driving across the old wagon
bridge south of Boise, the horse
took fright at some lumber and
backed the cart against tie railing
OF the bridge. Mrs. Stephenson
jumped ont 10 take hold of the bri-
die and quiet the horse, when tie
animal again backed breaking the
railing and horse and vehicle went
over the bridge into the water be-
low, carrying James, the little a.
year-old son of Mrs. Stephenson,
and Tommy Watkins 14.year- old
boy with them. Young Watkins
made an heroic effort to save The
little fellow and himself, but the
water being 100 swift, both perish.

recovered.
The next day, the little 3-year-

As Usual Caldwell Wins the Base
Rail- Events.
THE PENANT GOOD AS WON
Alter Seasons Games, the Caldwell
Team Wilt Tour Idaho
and Utah ....

That was tame game of ball
played here on Memorial day. The
fault was not with the Caldwell
boys, however, for they played ball.
The fault was not with the Boise
boys exactly; they tried to play
but couldn't. But. taken altogeth-
er, it was fairly a representative
game. The score was 10 to 3 in
CaltWell's favor.
Sunday was league game. The
competitors were Nampa and Cald-
well, and, as has been her custom,
Caldwell won it. This places Cald-
we'll two holes short of the pen
nant, with almost sure victory.
We understand that the Caldwell
boys after the seasons games will
take a short tour through south
eastern Idaho and northern Utah.

D,0o,;oent Local Men Engaged in the
Work of Spreading the Bless

Some of our enterprlslng local
men are engaged in promoting the
establishment Of a beet sugar fac
torv in this vicinity, 1t is hoped
that success may crown their ef-
forts, but we do not think success
is going to rush the business. 1t
will be little time yet before any
more sugar factories are built in
Idaho. Our Democratic friends
will rise up in patriotic opposition;
their fine humanity cannot tolerate
All institution that affords employ

orientals? Perish the thought!
Did not Caldwell rise in her majesty

her noble precincts the radish
raising Chinaman? Was not the
spinach cultivating coolie erased
from the corporate limits? Now
talk to US about beet sugar factory
which would pour in upon us
swarms of chop sticks and almond
eyes. We wont have it. Look at
the situation at Idaho Falls. There
the ground is literally black with
Japs. We are astonished beyond
power of expression to find Ex-Gov-

John c. Rice and other prominent
disciples Of the Democracy of JEFF
terson and Jackson engaged in the
netarlous business OF encouraging
Chinese cheap labor. 1t is dread

President Guest of Nampa and Boise
Last Week.
ROOSEVELT AND THE WEST
Has Captured the Entire Aggrega'
tiOn, Including the Expiring
. -. POpulist.

Presidents Roosevelt's trip west
will unquestionably be productive
of great good. In effect it brought
the government nearer to the people
and the people nearer to the govern
ment. The President was enabled
to see and therefore appreciate the
wonderful development which is
going on west of the Rocky Noun
tains, and he returns to Washing
ton with more vivid impressions OF
the needs Of the west than he ever
would had he not actually seen
with his own eyes. The people of
the west found that the President
is in hearty accord with their spirit
and temper. He appealed to them
as one from among themselves.
He has the manner and thought of
western man, and at heart is one.
Whether politics influences the
President to make his great tour is
of no consequence. But this is GER
tain: If there were any doubtful
States in the West before there are
none now. Roosevelt has captured
the entire Wild and Woody even
unto the expiring Pops.

Not So ssBum" After All.

The Caldwell News has seen fit
to deny through its editorial col
umns a rumor which is current to
the effect that A. K. Steunenberg
had "butted in" the newspaper
business again. We are not sure
as to the correctness of its sta;c-
ments, we were not sure as to our
statement last week, but there has
been "somethings doin'" that
leads the uninformed to believe
that the rumor has more of truth
than poetry in it. Perhaps Jake
Horn could, if he would, tell a diff
ferent story than that so glibly ut
tered by the News. Then, again,
the records of Canyon County tells
story decidedly different from the
school girl gushings" of the News.
But then, we don't care a fig. II
the News is ashamed of its partners
and hackers, we can't help it. 1t
isn't our fault. Perhaps, with the
News, it was any port in a storm.

INFLUENCE OF FRANCE
is Being Thrown to Prevent Clash Be.
tween Japan and Russia.

Paris, Dec. 22.-Confirmation was OBJ
tanned from official sources, Tuesday,
Of the reports that Foreign Secretary
Lamsdorf and Foreign Minister Del
case have within the last few days
made strong representations at Toxic,
with the view Of averting a crisis be-
tween Russia and Japan. There is rea-
son to belive that these representations
coming at the critical moment when
Japan's reply was being handed to the
Russian minister, Baron De Rosen, ex-
ercised a powerful restraining infiu-
ence. This Is especially true of Lord
Lamsdorf's representation owing to
Great Britain being the ally of Japan.
The terms of the japanese answer
are not yet known here but owing to
the action taken by Great Britain and
France, the officials here are confident
that her answer permits of continu-
ance of the negotiations for an agree
ment.
The officials of the Japanese legation
| insist that they do not believe there is
any immediate danger of war between
Russia and Japan and express the
opinion that the dispute will be settled
amicably. They add, however, that
Japan will not abandon any of her
rights in Manchuria and say that if a
conflict occurs they believe the Japan
csc will obtain the first victory on the
sea.

A DANGEROUS EXPERIMENT.
Better Not Let Public Know the Result
Of the Trial.

who was arrested, some time ago, and
held for the federal grand jury on the
charge of manufacturing counterfeit
niclkels. Summers trial will come be-
fore the federal grand jury which will
meet in this city in January. The fed
eral authorities claim that Summer
made nickels into Eastwood moulds.
Aulls claims that this is impossible.
He secured from the court an order to
allow him the right to experiment
with the moulds, which were taken
from the prisoner. Attorney Aulls will
endeavor to manufacture counterfeit
nickels in court. He will have black
smith do the actual work of making
the nickels and he will superintend it.

company which purchased the Kali

OF That Wonderful Gift of 100000
to Pope Plus.

Rome, Dec. 22.-According to the

Gently handed to the Pope $9,000,00O
said to have been confided to the cardi-
nal by the late Pope Leo XIII, with
instructions to turn the money over
to his successor four months after his
death. originated in the fact that in the
financial investigation following Pope
Leo's death deficit of over 100000
was found. After diligent research and
although no positive proof was obtain
able 1t appeared evident that the only
person who could know where the
money had gone was certain mon
signor living in the Vatican. He at
first asserted that he knew nothing of
the matter, but being more closely
pressed and the evidence against him
gathering he one day said to the Pope:
BE patient. God will provide for
the needs Of the Holy See
Soon afterwards the monsignor ap-

ATEcHNICAL VIOLATION
OF Distilling Law Causes Arrest Of
School Instructors at Chicago.

Chicago, Dec. 22.-Charged with OPP
Grating a distillery in the center of the
fashionable shopping district of Chi
cago, contrary to government regula-
tions, five officers and instructors of the
Columbus laborator were, today, ar
rested by United States deputy mar
shals. One of the five prisoners was
United States Commissioner Solomon.
The laboratories are located in a sky
scraper building of State street, on the
corner of Washington. The arrests
were made on complaint of a United
States revenue agent, the technical
charge being "displaying the sign of a
distiller and making mash fit for dis
tillation in a place other than a duly
uthorized distillery."
Those rrested were Charles Norton,
practical distiller and rectifier, j. Wes-
ner, Phi. c., NJ. D., chemist; A. Gehr-
mann, M. D., bacteriologist: w. A.
Evans, NJ. D., A. d. Solomon, United
States commissioner northern district,
lecturer in the laboratories.
Today's arrests are doubtless the out
growth of a bill for an injunction filed re-
Gently in the United States district court
against Dr.. Evans, DR.. Gehrmann former
city chemist, United States Commissioner
Solomon and others, charging them with
conducting a school wherein the pupils
were taught to manufacture limitations of
various liquors and cOrdials. A suit for
Slo,WW damages. it was said, would follow
the injunction proceedings.
Charles Norton. who is at the head of
the academy and one of those arrested
said.
Our processes are perfectly legitimate
don't think we have violated the distill-
ing law"
Commissioner Solomon is named in the
catalogue of the school instructor in
government laws and regulations, pure
food laws, and the keeping of government
books.
United States Commissioner Foote gave
an immediate hearing to the five persons
arrested, today. At the request of the de-
PENDANTS he continued the matter to Dec.
80. All the defendants were released on
bonds.
Later Prof. Norton said:
Todays developments were no surprise
to us. We had contemplated that such
action would be taken and were perfectly
willing. AS a matter of fact, we have
technically violated the law. We do make
mash in our academy. That is against
the law. But we are told by the authori
ties in Washington that We might make
mash under the circumstances, but not
to use it, We do not use the mash.
IF the revenue agents should happen to
drop in at almost any college or even at
the city laboratonry they would find the
same KIND of violation of the mash law
as they did here. Our desire is that a rul
ing be given in the matter, and in the
meantime we will take the proper stems
to secure legislation allowing an acade-
my or this kind to make a mash When
the law regarding the mash was enacted
there We're no such institutions as ours
and consequently there was no provision
made for such work"
