It will com memorate the glorious records or poth our soldiers and our sailors, and 1t has been my greatest desire to see a Confed- crate monument erected in Capitol park. My whole heart has been in this work. and that the monument will be unveiled during my administration is matter of peculiar pride and happiness to me. The Daughters have worked so faithfully and each member of the chapter sees now the consummation of her work.
 "On my way to the meeting this after noon." continued Mrs Rountree, "I the monument will be erected, and l do not think a more beautiful location could have been selected. marble shaft for tv-two feet high will be an impressive monument"

Monument Committee.

The monument committee appointed some time ago by Pelham chapter in- cluded Mrs. Charles G. Brown, chairman; Mrs. E. T. Taliaferro, Mrs. James U. Hardeman, Mrs. J. A. Rountree and Gen. eral Rufus N. Rhodes. For several years the Daughters have been receiving funds for their Confederate monument. They solicited the public in this undertaking and several hundred dollars was raised by popular subscription. They gave a Confederate bazaar, Mrs. J. A. Rountree, the president of Pelham chapter being in charge of a successful bazaar held a winter or two ago. Every effort has been made to arouse patriotic interest in the erection of a Confederate monument, and all the time the Daughters, while working with this great end in view, have never turned aside an appeal from an old and indigent veteran. They have carried on their regular wcrk assisting in the care of disabled soldiers, and con tributing their part in every undertaking of the U. D. c. organization. The treasury of the chapter has been drawn upon to meet these various demands. The monument fund, therefore, represents the surplus fund of the chapter.

Relief For Settlers.

Senator Hepburn has been as
sured of the early consideration by
the general land office of his plans
for the relief of settlers on lands
embraced in proposed irrigation
projects, says Washington dis
patch, Many of these people are
at present incommoded and dis
comforted by the absence of water
from their lands, and find it ex-
ceedingly difficult to exc out an
existance under present existing
conditions. The senator proposes
that they be given leave of alb
sence from their land until the
lands are under water.
Commissioner Richards has ex-
pressed the belief that such relief
could be provided by q department..
al order and said he would give
the matter his immediate atten-
ton. If no relief can be obtained
from the department the senator
says he will seek to accomplish the
ends by legislation.

"a LIFE SNUFFED OUT


The Short Line yard was th'
scene Of another accident Saturda,
evening. Samuel James who
came in from Thunder Mountain
the middle Of last week was the
victim.
James had been celebrating his
return to town and was in an in
toxicated condition waen last seen
by his friends Saturday afternoon
About seven o'clock that evening
he was at the station near the main
track crossing. A freight train
was in the yard switching and as
the engine approached the crossing
James started to go ahead of it.
Mr.. and Mrs. A. /. Mcmahon had
Just passed James and were going
towards the Stockgrowers' corner
when Mr. Mcmahon happened to
look around and he saw the man
reach out as though to ward off the
approaching engine, which was
moving slowly, and then fall The
engine stopped almost as soon as
James went down, although the
engineer was apparently uncon-
scious of the accident.
Mr.. McMahon saw the brake
man signal for the train to move
and called to him not to start, that
a man had been hit. He then ran
around the engine and with the
help of. some of the train crew
found James, who was lying be-
tween the engine and Sc station
platform. The man was uncon-
scious, through breathing, but died !
almost Immediately. He had evil
dently been struck by the cylinder
and his back was crushed and nu-
nerous other bruises were found
lpon his body.
The remains were carried to 0.

A NARROW ESCAPE.
Surrounded by Fire and Nearly Suf-
located With Smoke c. W.
Wernicke Is Rescued.

{. w. Wernlcke had narroy
escape from burning Saturday eve
ming which he will not soon forget
He has been suffering with rheu
natism for the past month, ant
has been taking hot baths to re
licve the trouble. For this pur
pose he has a very convenient bath
room fitted up in his house, and ir
it is couch on which he rests after
taking the baths.
Saturday evening Mr.. Wernicke
went into the bath room to enjoy
his usual hot bath. He carried
with him some heavy blankets to
spread on the bed with a view to
taking a good sweat after the bath.
He was smoking when he spread
the blankets, and it is supposed
that some live Goals dropped from
his pipe into the bed.
After bathing, Mr.. Wernicke
bundled himself up on the couch
and went to sleep. About an hour
later Mrs. Wernicke heard a noise
in the bath room and told her little
son, Charlie, to run and see if his
father wanted anything. Not be-
ing satisfied, she followed the child
to the bath room and opened the
door. The room was full Of smoke
and Immediately the door was
opened the smoldering fire broke
into flames enyeloping Mr.. Wern-
icke, who laid on the couch in a !
semiunconscious condition strug-
Cling to escape. Mrs. Wernicke
get her husband off the couch and
seizing pail threw water onto the
blazing bedding Jim Fuller, who
was clerking in the store, went to
her assistance and put the burn
ing blankets into the tub of water
where the fire was extinguished.
The smoke which Mr.. Wernicke
made him quite sick for
short time, and his lungs were ex-
eeedingly sore for few days. The
most remarkable thing was that
although he was apparently enyel-
,ped in the smoldering fire, Mr..
WerniclSe was not burned at all,
ind he is apparently none the
worse for his experience.

A Remarkabse Exhibit.

Clarence B. HURT, executive
commissioner for idaho at tht
worlds fair, has returned from St
Louis, says the Statesnlan. He
had been absent from Boise fol-
three months and was glad to get
back home and. refresh his lungs
with Idaho ozone.
Mr.. HURT stated that every par

prepared for transportation to Port
land for the Lewis and Clark ex-
position. Even the furniture in

San Antonio, Texas, for $500. Mr..
Adams will utilize the frame and
woodwork of the structure in the
building OF his summer home in
San Antonio. He will call his
home idaho
Admirable space has been Sc
cured by Mr.. HURT for the Idaho
exhibit at the Lewis and Clark
exposition. From the known views
of Governor-elect Gooding on the
subject it is believed that the leg
islature will be asked to increase
the state appropriation for this fair.
Mr. HURT is we'll Satisfied with |
the recognition obtained by Idaho
at the worlds fair. He was disap-
pointed over the impossibilitv of
maintaining the horticultural ex-
hibit on higher plane. However,
he said, this exhibit came out with
high honors, securing a gold medal
IS collective display and 81 gold,
silver and bronze medals for vari-
.ties of fruits.
The agricultural exhibit was
lwarded the grand prize and Sc
,old silver and bronze medals.

WOOL GROWERS MET
At Pocateilo-New Officers Elected
And Much Important Busi-
ness Transacted.

The annual meeting of the Ida
no Wool Growers association was
held in Pocatello Monday and
| Tuesday. Fred w. Gooding was
elected president, and J. E. Clinton
of Boise. secretary of the associa-
ton for the ensuing year. Weiser
was selected as the place for hold
ing the next annual meeting.
One of the most important re-
suits of the meeting was the de-
cision that the association would
not go to the United States supreme
court on the two mile limit law,
but would accept the judgment of
the state supreme court holding it
valid. This was not unanimous by
and means, but was carried by a
majority.
The scab situation and the best
way OF handling it was the subject
of extended discussion, and it was
finally decided to ask that the fed
eral government assist the state
officials in the eradication of this
disease, the following resolutions
being adopted:
Whereas, The report of our pres
ident and general opinion of the
members of this association goes to
show that the execution OF the |
present scab law has proven effec-
tual in eradicating this pest, and
Whereas, The Cattle and Horse
Growers association of this state
have asked for amendment of the
present law SO as to create the Of
flee of state veterinary, who will I
have jurisdiction over diseases of
cattle and horses, therefore be it
Resolved: That this associa-
ton, through its secretary and
memorialize the govern
Dr. of the state to enact such legis-
alton as will give uniformity of
to the eradication of all
diseases among all domestic ami
nails, and for the better perform
lnce of such service we desire the
reation of the office of state veter-
nary; and be it further
Resolved: That the committee
n legislation at once prepare such
bill and memorialize as is herein
commended.
A notable incident of the meet {
1g was the statement of Livestock
gent Tuttle of the Short Line. =
will be remembered that last =
lmmer Secretary Monte B. Gwin |
'iegraphed General Manager Ban
oft of the Short Line, on behalf
the association, the situation re-
lifting from the shortage of cars
nd urging prompt relief. This y
essage was forwarded to head
larters at New York and Mr.. :
nttle appeared before the associa-
on to assure it that such situa-
IN would not be allowed to oc- 4
r again, that arrangements had
ready been made for redecking P
e old ears and orders placed for
