How KEENAN, Left Russia.
At the same time the government does
not extend its hospitality to those they be-
lieve ready to SANDER and vilify it. This
Is the position that George KEENAN, holds in
the eyes of the officials. Every one knows
how he has attacked the Russians and
many here think very unjustly. Notwith-
standing this he came to Russia about two
years ago and took up his residence here.
He had just gotten settled when a police
man called upon him and informed him
that the government thought he could do
Russia most good by leaving it. The po-
liceman had an order to this effect, and at
his direction Mr.. KEENAN, went to his room
and remained there until arrangements
were made for his departure. His meals
were served in his rooms. He was allowed
to write letters and his friends were per-
mitted to call upon him. but further than
this he was a prisoner. He was sent away

"a political suspect" yellow may mean
"criminally dangerous and white "emi-

colors but there is no doubt that the gov

dangerous to it. and that such lists are
sent to the agents of Russia all over the
world.

exhibition in the Veerhoff gallery. In 1t an
extremely pretty child Of ten or twelve
years Is seen seated in the corner OF an
old-fashioned sofa. She wears white
Swiss and lace gown over a rose pink slip.
with stockings, shoes and ribbons to match,
while beside her or the couch is a pink
plumed hat and a white fringed shawl. The
sofa is upholstered in red, the cushions are.
respectively. blue and old rose. the back
ground Is green, and the carpet is many
colored, between all Of which there is nat
urally little harmony! Yet in spite of the
quarrelsome color scheme the painting has
some admirable qualities. Every part Of
the elaborate composition has been rem
dered with intending care; the child's head,
while expressed in thei terms of an enlarged
miniature, is finely painted; the drawing in
places is notably good; the background Is
atmospheric and the textures are admir-

Division Fight Now On.

The county division fight is now
on One at least of the proposed
bills for the division of Kootenai
county has been introduced into
the Legislature. while the people of
Rathdrum have sent a Lobby to
Boise to oppose division. The bill
is by Senator Yost, and Hon. Chas.
l.. Hoffman and Hon Edwin Nc
Bee have been sent down to oppose.
The Yost bill creates the county
of Roosevelt out of the northern
portion, and names Standpoint as
the temporary county seat, leaving
the permanent county seat to be
St ected by vote of the people two
years hence, and leaving the bal
ance Of the county unchanged.
Representative Reds bill, crea-
ting the county of Occur d. Alene,
with the town of that name for the
temporary county seat, and max
ing Standpoint the county seat of
Kootenai, has not yet been intro
duced.
Still Fn, ther proposition is said
to find advocates in the southern
part of the county-to divide the
county into three parts.
Opinions as to the merits or de-
merits of these propositions depend
largely upon the location of The
person Offering the opinions.
The keid bill seems to be the
principal target of those opposed to
division
The divisionists seem to be badly
divided themselves and unless they
can get together there is not much
likelihood of county division.

Push the Bridge Bill.

THE bridge bill was introduced
in the Senate last Tuesday, Ad-
vices from Boise are that it has a
good prospect, although bridge bills
generally are travelling a rather
rocky road at Boise. The Weiser
bill was only saved from defeat by
being recommitted. The objection
was that one end of the proposed
bridge rested ia Oregon, and that
Idaho should not act unless Oregon
stood half the expense. The Sal
mon River bridge bill went down
to defeat because Idaho county has
already had 100000 from the state
and bad agreed to ask for no more.
None of these reasons hold against
the Kootenai River bridge bill, how
ever, and there is no reasol. to fear
that its merits will not receive fav-
orably action if vigorously pushed.
