TOWN FOR TEMPERANCE.
Mt. Pleasant May Have Law and Or.
der Ieadue

Mt. Pleasant Jan. 14-There is con-
siderable talk about organizing law
and order league. 1t would be no sur
prise if a public meeting was called
soon for that purpose. 1t seems to be
the intention of the promoters Of this
movement to use the organization to
assist in the suppression of intem-
dependent voters league. They seem
to fear that considerable liquor will
be shipped to Mt. Pleasant by express
and more or less bootlegging go on,
and the organization is to. head off the
traffic in wet goods entirely.

"Since the first of December de-
clares Prof. Smart, there has been a
great falling off in attendance and
work because the pupils have been too
much concerned with balls, parties,
dress, boy and girl, to be able to do
justice to their studies. We are prone
in this country to rush boys and
girls into society before they are well
away from the cradle. Our boys and
girls ought to be boys and girls much
longer than they are. They begin to
take on the airs of grown people all
too soon. But until the parents be-
come a little more sane in the matter

School for Farmers.

The Washington Agricultural
COLLEGE, and School of Science has
arranged for two popular courses of
instruction, designed especially for
the benefit of the farmers and dairy
men of the state. The first of these
is the School of Dairying. The
ninth session of this school opens
on January 2, and will continue
eight weeks. This school is plan
ned to give practical instruction in
the manufacture of butter and
cheese, and the management of
creameries. Prof. Ira p. Whitney,
who conducted the course of 1904
so successfully, has been employed,
and will bring to his duties the
fruits of further experience and
study. Aside from the technical
training given in the course, stu
dents are brought directly in con-
tact in the class room with many
of the other members of the faculty
and receive the best instruction
available bearing on the great in
dustry Of dairying.
The Winter School for Farmers
will open on January 10, and will
continue for eight weeks. Effort is
being made to bring this popular
short course within the reach of
every farmer in the state. 1t is
hoped that the most of those en-
rolling will be able to attend
throughout the entire session, from
January 10 to March 4, and obtain
the full benefit of the instruction
given. However, the arrangement
of the subjects will be such that
prominence will be given to partic-
ular lines of study at certain Pc
RODS, so that persons wishing to
pursue any of these especially will
be enabled to do so to the best ad-

vantage and with the least expen-
diture of time.
No requirements for admission
are made for those wishing to enter
the Winter School for Farmers.
There will be no fees charged or
examinations given.
Full particulars can be obtained
in the State College Bulletin for
November, which can be obtained
on application to the Registrar of
the College or to E. E. Llliott, dean
of the Department of Agriculture.

Superior Court Notes.

The superior court is still grinding
away on the criminal docket, says
the Commoner. Last Friday morn
ing the case of II. c. Clark, charged
with shooting A. J. Taylor, a freight
conductor on the Spokane & Palouse
r. R., was taken up. John Patti
son represented the defendant. The
story of the shooting as detailed by
the train crew made a strong case
against the prisoner but their story
was upset by the evidence of VIM.
Dawson, a farmer, who testified that
he was driving on the road along
the track and saw three men attack
ing another and endeavoring to
throw him off coal car. They all
bent down behind the side of the
car and then a shot was fired. This
evidence agreed with defendants
story and evidently had much weight
with the jury, for they brought in
verdict of acquittal.
The next case was that of VIM.
Mordon, charged with conducting
gambling game. S. D. O'Neal put
up vigorous defense, but the jury
brought in a verdict of guilty.
o. Matthias, charged with having
committed an unnatural crime at

British revene Of over G2,50O,O0O, were
issued, large meeting held in London
under the presidency Of a dignitary of

source of revenue. The meeting decided
that it would be advisable to tax cats
half a crown a head.
This, it was estimated, would produce
$500 900 yearly, and, while reducing the
number of cats in England, would ele-
vate their social standing by removing
the stigma Of cheapness.

VIENNA, Jan. 15.-The Allegemeine
Zeitung says that Duke Philip of Or
leans is seeking a divorce, and that he
has petitioned the curia for a dispen-
sation to enable him to marry the
daughter of great Austrian noble.
The Allegemeine Zeitung asserts that
the duke consulted the leading MEM
bers of the royalist party last sum-
mer and informed them of his inten-
tions, giving as a reason that his pres
ent union was childless and that he
desired to continue the royal line. The
royalists endeavored to dissuade the
duke from taking the action he pro-
posed, and pointed out to him that his
divorce and remarriage would scan
dalize Catholic circles In France, the
chief supporters of the royalist cause.
1t at first appeared that the duke
acquiesced In the wishes of his follow
ers, but he now renews his request to
the curia, urging the notification of
his marriage on the ground that he
was forced into the union.
The noblewoman whom the duke de-
sires to marry is not named in the AL

Dalton Peckham, on the evening OF
Jan. Is, 1901, at the family home, near

picion at the time, but was not in

On Monday last young Peckham was

the house, followed by shot, and then
he heard the elder Peckham cry outi

The shooting continued and witness
heard Floyd say:

The wife Of the dead man said her
husband had been drinking and drove
the whole family from the house, COM
pelling them to take refuge with a
neighbor. Guy explains his silence by
saying that Samuel Houghton, a
neighbor, had threatened violence to
anyone who would testify against
Floyd, and fear kept him quiet.
