WORLDS SCIENCE
CONGRESS SESSION

ST. Louise Sept. 10. - Great
Britain. Germany, France, Austria,
Italy, Switzerland and Holland are
among the foreign countries repre-
scented at the Congress of Arts and
Sciences, which began weeks ses-
sion at the exposition today. In re-
gard to it's personnel the assembly is
by far the most notable of it's kind
ever held in this co try. The lead
ing universities ana colleges of the
United States and Canada are we'll
represented.
The idea of the present congress
grows out of the thought that the
subdivision and multiplication Of spe-
cialties in science has reached a
stage at which, investigators and
scholars may derive both inspiration
and profit from a general survey of
the various fields of learning, planned
with a view of bringing the scattered
sciences into closer mutual relations.
Leading representatives of theoretical
and applied sciences are expected to
set forth these general principles and
fundamental conceptions which con-
meet groups of sciences, review the
historical development of special sci
ences, show their mutual relations.
| and discuss their present problems.

MlckflS PROTECTS

A few days ago The Press printed
a news story from Cheney telling
how Herbert Finley had broken up
the home of Henry Mickeis, editor of
the Cheney Free Press In the ar
ticle Il was stated that Mr.. Mickels
may sell out and leave the town.
This, however, is denied.
The high character and sensible
stand of Mr., Mickels is shown in an
editorial which appeared In his paper
of Friday. September 16. In which he
only blames the coward Finley. but
has not one word OF reproach for the
woman he loved and promised to pro-
tect. The editorial follows:

WIFE AND CHILDREN
FIND PAPA IN JAIL

But the police remained obdurate
and the prisoner was not allowed to
even send word to his wife that he
had been arrested and thrust In jail.
Not until yesterday, through a neigh
bor, did the sorrowful wife know of
her husbands misfortune. AS soon
as she could get ready she came to
Spokane to see him.
At the sight of her husband in jail
the frail little woman burst into
tears and. overcome with grief, her
sobs rang out through the corridors.
Their bright little son cried because
his papa couldn't get out and go home
with him. The little girl, overjoyed
to see her father, wept until she sue
cumbed and fell back in his arms In
a stupor. The child had two spasms
and is in a precarious condition.
The father is anxious to get home
to take care Of his family and his
brave wife, who is this afternoon
trying to raise money for his bond,
$500, from her uncle, George Etu, a
ranchman living FIVE miles east Of
Spokane.

view, are defendants in suit
brought by ]. b. Roche and his wife
to recover $4,000 for injuries receiv-
ed by Mrs. Roche while a guest at
the hotel.
The trouble arose over a defective
folding bed. The complaint states
that upon the night of February 1,
1904. the plaintiffs were about to re-
tire and upon getting into bed the
same closed without signifying its
intention and Mr.. and Mrs. Roche
were imprisoned. The piece of furni-
ture weighed 400 pounds, the full
weight OF which fell upon them, in

been unable to walk since the acct
dent.

ment features are big and numerous.
They include fine vaudeville turns in
front of the grandstand, a midway of
all kinds of sights and fun, and the
biggest carnival that ever came to
the coast, the latter for the downtown
entertainment.
In addition to these special attrac-
tions for this day, there are all man
ner of midway features of fun booked

evening down town by the Nat Reiss

The family Of William Brown, con-
sisting of a wife, a 5-year-old son and
a 2-year-old daughter. were gathered
about him in the corridor of the
county Jail this morning. Brown was
arrested and thrown in jail Friday,
charged with bringing whisky on the
Coeur dAlene Indian reservation. The
man tells tale which has every indi-
cation of being a conspiracy.
Mr.. Brown and his wife have been
working with a threshing outfit. He
has been operating the separator
while she did the cooking for the
crew. He had gone to Fruitland and
when within about three miles Of his
return home he was overtaken by an
Indian and a team. He was asked
to ride the remainder Of the distance.
They had not gone one-half a mile
when Mr.. Brown was arrested by two
Indian police from the reservation,
who searched him but found nothing.
In the bottom of the wagon was
found a bottle Of whisky. How 1t
came there no one seemed to know.
He was at once taken to Spokane, out
of the jurisdiction of the Idaho court.
Mr.. Brown begged the agent Of the
reservation and the police to allow
him to see his wife and babies before
leaving. They refused him that privi-
lege though passing within half a
mile Of where they were. With tears
siren ming down hiH face he implorad
them to stop. He had sick baby
whom he wanted to see. perhaps for
the last time.
