PRISONERS
BOUND over
DEPENDENTS in Alleged Cattle
Stealing Case Have Waived
Examination

Sam Rich and Chas. Broncheau, the
two young men arrested yesterday for
alleged completely in the cattle steal
ing case being prosecuted by A. ].
Showalter Of Lapwai were brought be-
fore Police Judge Coburn this MORN
ing for arraignment and waived ex-
animation. Rich was placed under
$3.50 bonds and Broncheau $500 for
their appearance In the district court
at the next term. Both are still in
the custody of the sheriff but it is
probable that Broncheau will furnish
bonds before evening. VIM. McGrath
who is alleged to have received the
stolen steer after it was butchered by
the other two defendants was arraigneo
last evening and waived examination
and bound over in the sum of $1,000 for
his appearance in the district court
this fall The bond was furnished and
the prisoner released. McGrath left
for his home in Culdesac this after
noon.
A. J. Showalter who is the prosecut-
| ing witness in the case stated today
! that he had sufhcient confessions and
evidence thus far to justify him In
prosecuting the case and that no stone
| would be left unturned to bring tho
guilty parties to justice. Mr.. Sho-
walter also states that there has been
evidence that much stock has been pur-
Joined and disposed of during the past
year In his section and that 1t has been
a mystery where the stock was going.
i While he does not accuse anyone par
ticular person with being responsible
for the disappearance Of this stock he
says that an organized movement will
be undertaken to detect who is respon-
sible for the depredations.
The crime of cattle stealing in this
country Is now considered one Of the
evils that will not be dealt lightly with.
Judge Steele at the last term Of court
/ stated that this manner Of theft was
being carried to far the greater portion
of the criminal cases Of the past few
years in this county arising directly
through this line Of depreciation. He
stated from the bench that In his court
I, those who were guilty Of these offenses
would be severely dealt with. These
statements should be q warning to
those who are inclined to be drawn
!. into this nefarious line Of business.

PEST OF
FLYING ANTS
Residents in the Hill District are
Troubled by their Numer-
Gus Raids

Many residents Of the city, especially
those living in the McAllister. Yantis
and Thompson additions on Normal
Hin, have been visited by singularly
unique plague in the shape Of ants.
Now there are black ants. blue ants,
maiden aunts and married aunts in
that portion of Lewiston but this par
ticular kind Of ant. that persists in
ruffling the otherwise placid temper of
the good housewives Is the red ant.

pest Mayor Kress and his solemn

other obscure village would not be

Al we said before these ants are diff

crawling from clod to clod for their
daily bread but their origin seems to be
the same. When the houses were first
built in the above named portion of

every fourth sage brush and many
lawns have been spoiled by an ant
borough made by this Industrious nuis-

if you will. At "Raise!'' bring the
clubs to perpendicular once more
without moving the elbows from the
sides.
In the sixth exercise the clubs begin
in the usual perpendicular The mo-
ton is this: Raise the right elbow
in line with the right shoulder, carry
the hand behind the right ear, swing
the club close to the back, and when
the circle is completed from left to
right in the rear, form similar circle
in front of the body by carrying the
right hand and club across the chest
as far as the left shoulder and just in
front Of the left hand; allow the club
to drop parallel with the. body, and
bring it down with the arm straight
in front of the feet; complete the cir
Gle by bending the elbow as the hand
and club pass the right leg"
In the seventh exercise you are to
slope the clubs as in the fourth; then,
at "Swing!" form a circle with the
left club in rear, and at the same time
form circle with the right club in
front of the body" Form the circles
alternately, with the cluhs in front and
rear as you progress with the counts.
The eighth exercise involves some
steps and is sometimes performed on
the move. Each step is taken as the
clubs swing to the rear, and the adj
vanced knee is bent as the clubs drop
behind the shoulders. It is also per-
formed with half-facings instead of
forward steps.

WHAT JAPAN GAINS FROM THE WAR

nations have looked over the Asiatic
country with some touch of hatred
and deep scorn. But we made the
alliance on equal terms. We mingled
with their soldiers at the time of the
Boxer trouble, and proved ourselves
even superior to them. Then slowly
and surely they began to lose their
prejudice against us, and we began
to assimilate to them. We are hold
T ing a strangely remarkable position
as country of Asia.
I'VE owe much to Germany for SCI
ence and philosophy. But she lost
Our respect and love when she joined
Russia to make us give up the Lao
tung peninsula. France, known for
her romantic spirit and chivalry,
didn't help our new, ambitious coun-
try at that time. There is no ques-
ton we owe more to America and
England than to any other countries.
Our civilization was directly import
ed from both those countries.
Especially since Our alliance with
England the English influence has
been phenomenal We learned the
true freedom solidly built on the
ground of conservatism, the open
breasted spirit, from England.
But to what country do we owe
our material advance? Isn't it Rus
sia? We must be thankful to Rus
STA, my friend.
The Russian menace in Asia was
the sole reason why we could make
such wonderful material advance.
We were obliged to stand firm
against Russia, lest we be threatened
We increased Our army and our navy.
We tried to bring up our children to
understand our situation and the mo-
mentous national problem. We taught
the people to be economical and in
dustrious for the crisis. Yes, crisis.
We are having it now. And Our part
looks bright.

calculation that we should win. How

could Russia send her army to Man

helpful for that purpose. And where
has she a naval station for her Grip
pied ships? Where can she get coal?
She made a dead mistake in going to
war with us If once we could mas
ter the sea-thank God. we have
done so--it would mean that we had
already won half the battle.
Russia is not only fighting at a
material disadvantage; she is fighting
against the morality of the world
Russia is supposed to be a Christian
country and one of the civilized ma
tons of the world Look at her CON
duct toward the Jewish people. | dare
say Russia is the second China. Her
diplomacy, which is quite effective,
was playing with our country. Her
bluff was magnificent. A war without
any moral support can only finish as
failure. What country in the world
is in sincere sympathy with Russia?

What will Japan gain if we con-
quer?" | asked

tory will be the turning point in their
conception. Right is right whoever
says it, brown people or white. The

The world will cease to make a low
estimate on account of our brown
skin We shall be admitted as a first
class nation hereafter, and we shall
be a power to be taken seriously in

iudice which the European powers
have cherished for ages, that alone
would be a great gain

Donohue, War Correspondent.

One of the ab1est men now in the
Far East is M. ]. Donohue, an Irish
Australian. Once he was on the
Sydney Telegraph" where he gained
a reputation by clever detective work.
1t was he who found the Deenling
murderer who killed so many persons
in Australia, and who afterwards con-
fessed to other murders perpetrated in
England. Donohue also discovered
and published to the world who DE
Rougemont" really was.
After this he went to England with
the New South Wales Lancers. of
which he was member. Two squad
1ens of lancers went to Aldershot for
instructions and then out to South At
RIGA, where they were attached to the
Ninth Lancers under Methuen. Dono-
hue was at Modder River and then
joined Lord Roberts at Bloomfontein,
where he fell in with Maxwell. These
two wished to go to johannesburg to
meet General French. and so rode off
at night. passing close to a company
of some FIVE hundred Beers, who cap
tured Donohue and made it lively for
Maxwell Maxwell, seeing the i'm
possibility of doing anything for Don
ohue, took the desperate chance OF
running his horse te. the limit and SO
got away.
The Beers took Donohue to Pre-
toria and put him in prison, whence
he escaped disguised as a. Boer and
found refuge in the house of Douglas
Story, who was in the extraordinary
position of English war correspondent
for a London paper with the enemy S
forces. When Maxwell came into
Pretoria with Lord Roberts he was
delighted to find his friend safe and
sound.
