MR. PAYNE
 IMPROVES He Saetains His NOurish-
 mcnt. CONDITION STILL GRAVE Sinking Spells Were Accom-
 panied by Rallies. Postmaster General is Entirely Con- scious and is Visited by Clergy- man.--President Roosevelt Is
 Frequent Caller.

Washington, Oct. 2.--After a day fll- ed with strong hopes, alternating with the gravest fears, of almost immediate dissolution Postmaster General Payne's condition late tonight was declared by his physicians to be decidedly more encouraging. but they are unwilling to hazard an opinion as to the future. (.
 In the early part of the day his heart action became decidedly weaker with resultant feebIeness of pulse and un- consciousness. At times he suffered intense pain and once or twice he cried out in his agony. These paroxysms were followed by periods of exhaustion with brief intervals of comparative freedom. of the pain, but the heart &C., ton continues to give the physicians the greatest concern.
 Several times during the day the pulse became so feeble that 1t seemed almost to cease altogether and at one time the physicians said the Postmaster General was as near death as few ever get and survive the day.
 At o'clock this afternoon the doc- tors fully believed that the end was at hand and the family who were at dinner. were summoned. By Mrs Payne's direction Rev. Dr. Smith, rec- tor of St. Johns Episcopal Church. where the family worship, was sent for and on his arrival those st the strick- on mans bedside joined in prayer. But again his marvellous recuperative pow CTS asserted themselves and won an- other victory.
 Slowly. but very perceptibly a change for the better took plnce and at f:30 o'clock a more hopeful bulletin was is- sued. This was followed at 6:4S by far the best news of the day. Biss JoTes, a niece of Mrs. Payne. came from the sick room and with beamlne face. told of wonderful change for the better. Some time before that hour she said the Postmaster General had regained complete consciousness. had recognized those. about him and seemed almost like himself again. He had even asked for food and milk. and Ywner the latter was brought he drank from 0 glass he himself held. One of the physicians said that improvement was almost miraculous.
 After a bad night in which hIs condi- ton continued extremely grave, Post Master General Payne had a sinking spell at five o'clock this morning,
 Dr. Grayson was at his bedside and rallied the patient, but a second spell occurred about seven o'clock which was so severe that Dr. Grayson summed Dr. Magruder. The two physicians employ ed heroic measures for an hour. For a while 1t was feared that the end was imminent, but the heart action finally responded gratifyingly.
 At about 10 o'clock. Dr. Osler arrived from Baltimore. He and pr. Rixey joined Drs. Magruder and Grayson in a general consultation and at 1o:45 the following bulletin was issued: During the night the action of the heart has been very weak. This morn ing there is some improvement, but the conditions are not so favorable as yes terday.

CAESAR WAS
FOUND GUILTY
Fined Ten Dollars But Filed Notice
of Appeal to Higher
Tribunal

The Caesar meat case was revived
in' Justice Coburn's this morning at 10
O'Clock when the decision of Judge CO.
burn was rendered.
In reviewing the evidence Judge CO.
burn confined himself strictly to the
limits of the law in relation to selling
meats in this city without license, and
from the evidence sumbitted, shows a
violation of the ordinance. 1t is alleged
which was passed by the city council
during November, 1899.
The ordinance states that a peddler
or hawker of meats from another city
or state cannot peddle meats in Lewis
ton without paying a license OF "a per
day. and no license can be issued for
less than thirty days.
The decision as rendered by Judge
Coburn is as follows:
We will first look at the object
sought in the passage of the ordinance
under which this action Is brought.
From a careful review of the or
dinance 1t seems to have been brought
for the purpose of protecting the mer-
chants and business men from the pro-
misCuous selling of goods in the open
market, by parties that contribute
nothing TO the revenue of the city.
Merchandise licenses were graded
according to the amount of business
transacted and confined the parties to
a licensed place of business. For the
same ordinance provides for a hawkers
or peddlers license upon distinct and
different terms. And it also provides
that the natural products of the coun-
try Except meats) may be sold in the
open market without any license 1t
would be too liberal construction Of
the ordinance that would permit a per-
son holding only a merchandise license

WHERE IS
YOUR BOY?
A Writer in the Weiser World
Says He is Roaming
the Streets

A correspondent in the Weiser World
says, If not about your boy, about your
neighbours boy or your friends boy.
that he is roaming the streets and
hunting along the river when he should
be in school, The article is reprinted,
not with a ault-finding intent but as
calling attention to a fact patent to all
that all boys are not being trained in
the way their parents would like them
to go. The article says:
I'VE note that there are a few young
boys in this city who are not in school.
A day or so ago. we saw a pair of
youngsters, not over thirteen or four
teen, pass the Main street school build
ing within school hours, carrying guns.
They were evidently returning from a
hunt. Many other instances could be
given where these youngsters are not in
school and not engaged in any useful
occupation. The school Is the place for
such, and there they should be. 1t is
demoraliZing to children who are in
school, to permit such a condition to
exist. We have a curfew ordinance,
let us have, an ordinance that will act
in the same manner from nine to four
on school days. If parents neglect their
own children let the city take the mat
ter up. and do what these parents
should do. When school opens, every
child. who has not passed into the
high school. should be in school. We
can see where perhaps in some cases
a very few-a child could not take up
and carry on the high school work
But, in no case except sickness. should
a child be permitted to remain out of
school until he has taken the work to
the end of the eight grade. He belongs
In school. II he does not know this
truth and If those in charge of the
child do not understand the import of
1t. let the city step in and assist in
the matter. This is logical. The state
and this city have a right demand
that these children be trained for a
better citizenship. II is these same
children who grow up and make or
police systems necessary. All this is
intended likewise to apply to truancy.
Illness and that alone is an excuse. We
have no patience with the keen Johnnie
home to work idea. 1t is dangerous
to the state in some cases. 1t is
cheaper to educate them to run courts
and police systems. Let us remember
the principle OF economics which as
serts that "A nation is great in pro-
portion as its citizens are educated"

an order and deliver his goods from the
wagon at the same time. From the
defendants own testimony he says he
sometimes delivered his goods direct
from his place Of business and some
times direct from the slaughter house
or direct from his wagon.
This seems to me on the part of the
defendant whether Intentionally or
noD to be an indirect violation of the
ordinance.

mating and unjust, have nothing to do

the law provides"

NOW FOR A BOX FACTORY
WHO WILL OPEN ONE HERE ?
W. |. La Toilette, Prominent Snake River Valley
Fruit Man, Says Lewiston Could Draw
the Trade if She Had One

here. | am reasonably certain that a
factory at this place could readily dis
pose of at least two million per year
and perhaps more. The only question
would be whether anyone could put up
as good a box as the Spokane factory.
If they can, there is no reason why
one should not be started here. In
the first phase plant should be in
stalled that will do clean work and be
equipped to do the stamping.
There is no doubt but what the
trade of the entire Palouse country, the
Lewiston valley and the Walla Walla
valley would come to Lewiston for
their boxes. for I am positive that the
rates are favorable.
Keep out of the trust, and meet trust
prices and a Lewiston factory can get
the business. l myself use about $4,000
boxes year and while have my own
plant at present l believe that l could
iston providing it had a mill, that it
now costs me to manufacture them.
The ruling prices on boxes, knocked
down, are about as follows: Peach,
5k cents; pear, IA to 8 cents; apple.
ga to 10 cents; grape crates, about 6
cents"
Mr.. La Toilette is very much encour-
aged over the present outlook for the
fruit industry and believes that this
coming season will prove to be a BAN
ner one for Snake river valley fruits.

Mr.. VIM L. LaFollette, prominent
fruit grower who operates one OF the
largest fruit farms in Snake river val
ley, was in the city yesterday.
Mr.. La Toilette left for Orofino where
he goes to arrange for the removing OF
timber from his claim near that place
and also to purchase logs, providing
ID is possible. He has on his farn'
which is on Snake river at Wawaiwai,
a complete sawmill and box factory.
He makes all his boxes on the ranch,
and is now preparing for the coming
season He states he will raft about
4oO, 900 feet of logs down the Snake
and will use about 225, 900 feet of lum-
Der for boxes during the coming sea-
son. The balance of the logs Will be
cut for lumber Mr.. La Toilette con-
templates some extensive Improvements
on his place this year, in the way Of
buildings, etc.
His farm consists Of $50 acres and is
planted to fruit trees and vines. Dur
ing last year Mr.. La Toilette states
that ne shipped about seventy-five car
loads of fruit. the majority being
peaches.
In speaking of the box industry Mr.
LaFollette expressed the opinion that
Lewiston should be equipped with a
factory that could turn out at least
100000 boxes per year. he said:

one has not already put in a factory
