Hasn't CHANGED Much.

When a jury in St. Louis lately
acquitted woman charged with
stealing 1904 from male visitor,
Prosecuting Attorney Bishop con-
graduated its members thus:
81 thank you for your verdict.
l thank you in the name OF all that
is lawless and shameless i'll crime
and criminals. thank you for the
discriminating state you have
shown-for the high order OF
citizenship which you have dis
played-in being influenced II
your verdict by pretty woman's
winks and a glimpse at bit OF
open work stocking. You are
credit to your class.
And Judge Taylor addressed the
jury thus:
1T is strange that jury cannot
trv a woman defendant as I'M
partially as it can man. 1t is
pitv that sickening filrtatlor
between jurors and the defendan
in a criminal case has the power II

Stage Horses Killed by Lightning.

Grantsville, Idaho, June 49,
The Whitebird stage was struck
by lightning yesterday afternoon
near Whitebird, and both stage
horses were killed instantly. Three
passengers and the driver, who
were in the stage at the time, all
received severe shock, from
which they have since suffered vio-
lent headaches. The stage left here
yesterday carrying Mrs. Lee l..
Fridenrich and child, J. Hanson
and the driver. A severe storm
was raging for the greater part OF
the journey, when bolt struck
one of the horses squarely between
the eyes, and both animals pitched
forward dead.

TIE PLATFORM ADOpTED---STAND PAT ON
THE Tariff.
Reports Of the Committee Received and Ad-
opted-Speaker Cannon Permanent Chairman.
Senator Fairbanks the Unanimous Choice

Chicago, June y. 2.-Senator Fair
banks will be nominated for vice
president unanimously. The
Illinois delegation met today and
de cided to Withdraw the name Of
Representative Hit. When Illinois
is reached OF the call Of the states
Senator Cullom will announce that
he has received a telegram from
Mr. Hit directing him to with
draw his (Hitt's name from the
convention and Illinois will support
Senator Fairbanks. The names of
the candidates will be withdrawn
also. Senator Dolliver will present
the name of Senator Fairbanks to
the convention.
After previously reviewing the
policies and deeds of the Republi-
can party for the past eight years,
the platform pledges to continue
these principles.
lhe tariff plank IS as 1OllOWS
Protection, which guards and
develops our interests, is cardinal
principle of the Republican party.
The measure Of protection should
always at least equal the difference
in the cost production at home and
abroad. We insist upon the
maintenance Of the principles O
The Teton peak. [volume] (St. Anthony, Idaho) 1899-1904, 1904-06-23

protection and therefore the rates of
duty should be readiusted only
when conditions have so changed
that the public interest demands
their alteration. :"
The ceiprocity plank says: 1--WE
have extended wide the door for
foreign markets and we believe in
the adoption Of all practicable
methods for further extension,
including commercial reciprocity
wherever reciprocal arrangements
can be Effected, consistent with the
principles of protection and without
injury to American industries. -
The gold standard is upheld.
On the trusts the platform says
Combinations of capital and labor
are the results of the economic
movement Of the age, but neither
must be permitted to infringe upon
the rights and interests of the peo-
pie. Such combinations when
lawfully formed for lawful pur-
poses are alike entitled to the pro-
lection of the law, but both are
subject to the laws and peither can
be permitted to break them.
The platform concludes with a
review and warm endorsement O
the administration Of President
Roosevelt.

Militia Costs Money.
Adiutant General Vickers ha

Adiutant General Vickers has
received telegram from General
Funston, commanding the Depart
ment of the Columbia, inquiring as
40 the number of militia companies
from this state which will attend
the national encampment at Amer
ican Lake, Wash, next month and
the probable strength of each COM
pany, says the Boise Statesman.
A pro rata reduction of the COM
NAMES will be necessary on account
Of the limited appropriation for the
encampment. TO transport and
provide forage for the Idaho reg1-
,nent alone will cost $32, 600 or
$33, 600.
General Vickers had planned to
send ten companies of the Idaho
regiment with ffty-hve men tc
The Teton peak. [volume] (St. Anthony, Idaho) 1899-1904, 1904-06-23

each company. 1t is possible
General Funston may be obliged to
reduce the company strength to
forty men. This could be ac-
complished without impairing the
showing of the regiment to any
great extent, although General
Vickers, as a matter of course,
would prefer that the full compile
ment should go.
The total cost of transporting the
Idaho guards to American Lake,
estimating ten companies Of fifty
five men each, would be $22, 500.
The railroad companies charge four
cents per mile for each man which
runs the expense pretty high The
pay of the men during their en-
gagement would amount to $4,000
and it would likely cost $4,000 for
forage. At this rate the govern
ment appropriation would soon be
depleted.
Under the circumstances Gen
eral Vickers regrets that he did not
ask for state encampment IN
Boise during the month of Septem-
Der. This would have given the
military men more time for prepar-
alton and they could better afford
to leave their work at that time.
In this respect July is an awkward
month. Another advantage of hav-
ing a state encampment at the
Boise barracks would be the pres
ence here in September of at least
two companies of the Ninth infan'
try under the command of Colonel
Noble. The Idaho guardsmer
could work with these companies
to great advantage. An even more
urgent reason for holding a state
encampment in this city would b'
the climatic advantage. Boise il
conceded to be the healthiest pos
in the country and there would b.
less danger of sickness among th
Idaho guardsmen here than else
where.
General Vickers expects to b
advised of General Funston
decision with regard to the possibl
trimming of the Idaho companie
very shortly and will then be pre-
pared to carry out his plans in cor
formity with the changed condi
tions if necessary.

Governor Morrison in Northern Ida.

A Moscow special dated June
18th, says: Governor John I.
Morrison arrived in Moscow last
night and left today for Lewiston.
While here he put in his time
passing among his friends, pre-
sumably not overlooking the ques-
ton of his denomination at the
Republican state convention, which
meets here August 10th.
Governor Morrison was closeted
last night at the Hotel Del Mort
for several hours with F. A. David,
! Warren Truitt, R. c. West and w.
D. Smith. When questioned as to
the object of his visit to north
Idaho at this time, the governor
said 81 am here just to meet and
confer with my friends. AS to
political matters l prefer to let the
people do the talking. The people
are generally good judges of such
matters, and l am willing to leave
nv case in their hands.
Governor Morrison has many
political friends here, mostly
among Congressman French 5 party
adherents. While this is true, i
is also true that some OF the
governor friends are favorable to
the cadidacy of c. W. Beal o
Wallace for congress. 1t is probabl'
, however, that Latah county woul(
be for Francis Jenkins If Ii wer
not for the belief among some tina
if would interfere with the candl
dacy of Congressman French 10
denomination.
