FAMILIES RESCUED
IN ROW BOATS

COLFAX, March l0.-Colfax is expert
encing the highest water of ten years, and
the food question is serious one. North
Colfax, or that portion known as Little
Russia inhabited almost entirely by Rus
slams, was flooded and the families were
rescued in rowboats.
The South Palouse river is higher than
it has been in ten years, and is now about
a foot lower than it was yesterday. The
big new bridge over the South Palouse on
Main street was threatened with destrue'
ton. The approaches at the south end
were washed out and terrific current
struck the outside of the stone walls. Thir-
teen teams and wagons were employed in
hauling rocks, which were placed in sacks
and sunk in the stream.
Word comes from the country that roads
are in a frightful condition, and bridges
are washed out at points on Penawawa and
Union Flat creeks. Word comes from
points along the North Palouse river that
the stream rose steadily and rapidly all
day yesterday, receding little this morn
ing.

SOME WISE THOUGHTS
IN A FEW WORDS

Small talk often results in big scandals
The life that does no good is guilty of
much harm.
SANDER is the crime of saying what other
people think.
AS soon as a man is good enough, he lie
no longer any good.
People who borrow trouble are always
ready to lend advice.
There is just as much worry over money
as over the lack of it.
1t is sometimes better to stay where
you are than to jump at conclusions.
You cannot make clouds for others and
live in the clear light yourself.
The fear of being found out is often
mistaken for the prickings of conscience.
A man is never too old to learn, but
sometimes he is too young TO realize it..
All things come TO those who wait, bus
you might save time by going out to meet
them.
The man with tender heart does not
need to demonstrate it by the sOftness Of
his head.

INJURED SEAMAN
AWARDED DAMAGES

PORT TOWNSEND, March lO.-The
United States court of appeals has handed
down decision in the case of Albert Louie
VS.. the British ship Troop, sustaining the
decision rendered by Judge Hartford, in
which he gave the plaintiff Judgment for
damages in the sum of $4,000. The case
was most peculiar, and perhaps had no ex
act precedent. 1t was tried by an Ameri-
can court, the plaintiff was foreigner, the
accident took place in foreign port, and
the ship was foreign vessel.
The hbelant fell from the rigging of
the vessel in Fusan harbor, Korea, break
ing a leg and an arm and otherwise injur-

Fusan for medical treatment, but the cap

FINE FALL SHOOTING
Prospects Are 1t Will Be Best
i'm History of State.

If 1t is any satisfaction to know at
this time of the year, there is promise
of fine duck shooting in the fall
The ducks in flying to their summer
home in the north this spring took a
new course and, the prophets say they
Will come back the way they went up
Unless every sign fails we are to
have the best fall shooting in Mime
sofa in the history of the state" said
State Game Warden S. F. Fullerton
last night For the first time that
anybody knows the ducks this spring
took short cut to Canada from the
South. They usually follow the At
lantic7to the Gulf of st. Lawrence and
thence west to the Hudson bay coun-
try, where they, breed in millions. This
year the birds flew in millions straight
north up the Mississippi valley, and
the results were that the hunters of
the Southern and Middle states had fine
shooting this spring.
Minnesota is in unique position, in
that spring shooting is wholly prohib-
tied, but we are proud of the fact
There can be no more short lived poll
cy than the wanton killing of the birds
just at their mating season, for every
one killed means possibly a half dozen
fewer birds in the fall. 1t is a vicious
practice aid l am glad to say that Min
nesota has put a legal ban on it. There
has been very little violation of the law
this season in this respect. If there is
not the greatest fall shooting that
Minnesota ever saw when the birds
come back all the prophets are wrong"

WILL CURB SALOONS
Residents of White Bear Form
Citizens League.

A number Of citizens of White Bear
village have orgonized under the name
of the Citizens league, with the de-
clared object Of securing a stricter
enforcement of the state liquor laws in
White Bear and the immediate vicin-
ity.
At a recent meeting w. l. Baldwin
was chosen president; @. r. Croft, vice
president; Lorenzo J. Markoe. secre-
tary, and the general manag cement Of
the society placed in the hands of an
executive committee of which the pres
1dent and secretary are ex-off1cio mem
bers.
The declaration of principles of the
league are that While the saloon is rec
ognized as legal, it is opposed to the
selling of liquor to minors, to habitual
drunkards, to keeping open Sundays or
after IL o'clock at night, gambling, So
called slot machines, etc.
1t is declared that the saloons should
be allowed only in a restricted district
and reduced in numbers; that the VIII
lage expenses should not be met from
the money received for saloon licenses;
that the great number Of saloons
serves to impoverish the people, depre-
ciate the value Of property and in
crease the tax rate; that the members
of the village council should be selected
from different parts of the village.

THINKS END OF WORLD
is CLOSE AT HAND
So August Robe Wants His 13-Year-
Old Boy to Lead Exemplary Life.

Believing that the world Is soon to
come to an end August Robe, Alp Ex-
change street, yesterday had his SON.
James Robe, aged thirteen years
brought into police court on the charge
of incorrigibility.
An informal hearing occurred and
the probation officer will look further
into the case before it is tried, but the
court expressed the opinion that there
was not much foundation for the
charge.
What has your boy been doing?"
asked the court Of the father, who was
apparently much grieved.
Running to bad places and refusing
to obey me-" was the answer.
What places has he been frequent
ing?"
"Oh, he goes to Conrad's billiard hall
next to the drug store and PLAYS and
stands around there for hours at a
time"
After considerable questioning the
judge brought out the opinion from
Robe that the world will not last much
longer and that he had determined to
compel his son to lead a more exem-
plary life, thereby preparing himself
for the end when the time comes, The
youngster took the proceedings in good
humor and was apparently inclined to
the belief that he was being given q
holiday. The court informed him that
the hearing was no time for levity.

JURY ACQU|TS DR..
CHARLES P. ART
Returns Verdict of Not Guilty in
Case of Physician Charged
With MansIaughter.

Thank God! Thank God have my
boy safe!"
With these words, which in her ex-
citement she almost screamed out, the
aged mother of DIR. Charles p. ART in
terrupted the reading Of the verdict
yesterday afternoon which cleared her
son of the grave charge Of manslaugh-
ter in the first degree.
Sudden relaxation from the severe
mental strain under which she has Ia
bored throughout these dreary weeks
of doubt and apprehension since her
sons arrest proved too much for the
mothers feelings, and she lost control
of herself completely and became hys-
terical.
Mrs. Arzt's excited EXPLANATIONS
were quickly drowned in the general
demonstration that followed the an
nouncement of the verdict, and mem
bers of her family were then able to
Soothe and quiet her sufficiently to
conduct her from the room.
Friends Clap Their Hands.
The court room was filled with
friends of DR.. ART, who expressed their
qualification in a most demOnStrative
manner, creating a scene not usually
seen or permitted in a court. Men and
women vigorously clapped their hands,
and some of the men started a cheering
which was suddenly checked by an or
der from Judge Kelly for the sheriff to
clear the room,
Dr. ART had been on trial four days
under an indictment in which he was
charged with having, on Jan. 9 last,
performed an operation of a character
forbidden by law upon Esther Gill,
which resulted in the death Of the girl
Nhn
case was conducted by o. H. O'NeilI.
assistant county attorney, and DR..
ART was represented by c. d. and IT.
u. O,Br1en. From the very beginning
the case was. vigorously fought on
both sides, and very frequently the
court was called upon to rule upon the
admission of evidence.
The evidence in the case was COM
pleted on Thursday and yesterday was
devoted to the closing arguments. c..
II. y Brlen occupied the morning and a
portion of the afternoon in his address
to the jury, which was a comprehen-
| s1Ve review Of the testimony, and an
eloquent argument in defense of the
| prisoner.
County Attorney Kane summed I'm
for the state, but occupied COMPARE

"uUSS nelly, III AIS charge TO The jury
