LOYALTY.

Major Lewis Gntcr has been dead for
years, but his name Is frequently men
Toned IN Richmond, ana the memory OF
him is still fresh and dear. He was
greatly beloved, and whenever his name
is now mentioned in Richmond au-
dicnce there Is always a ripple of mp
plause. Why? Because lie gave SO much
10 the public There are men who seem
to think that the great aim OF life Is to
heap up riches for themselves; to take
all that they can and give away MS little
as possible, But 1t ought to be the am
ton of every patriotic citizen, to give rs
much as he can to the public. ! I he has
money. he should give money; II he has
talent, he should give talent He should
give both money and talent il lie has
both If he has money, but no talenr,
lie should give money; " he has talent,
but no money, he should give talent.
There are many men in this community
who have no money to give; but they
are giving that which is better. They are
giving an uffcctionatc service. and they
are helping TO build up the city.
The day Will come by and by when llfe's
work Is over, and when memory will b,
busy. In retrospection We shall have

The Idaho supreme court will de-
termine whether Rudolph Wetter will
die on the gallows or whether he will
be granted new trial.
Wetter, on July 10, 1904. shot and
killed l.. ID. Vain and Chris Long, and
wounded Longs 14-year-old boy. at
Secesh Meadows, in Idaho county. He
had approached unannounced the
cabin where Long and Vain were
stopping and opened fire with rifle
at close range. The boy escaped in
the bushes. Wetter was tried before
Judge Steele, found guilty of murder
in the first degree and sentenced to
death. The execution of the man was
suspended pending the result of the
appeal to the supreme court, which
was argued and submitted yesterday.
The attorney for the defendant seeks
a new trial on the instructions given
TO the jury by the lower court and
cites also that an offer of the plea OF
insanity was Improperly rejected He
| also contends that continuance OF
the case was improperly refused
which, II granted, would have entitled
the defendant to sustain the contention
that he was insane, he having a
brother confined in the asylum in
| California. The appeal Is from the
order denying new trial-Lcwistor

Because in past years they have
slaughtered great quantities of Brit
ish Columbia game, and in order to
prevent a recurrence OF sucn work, be-
tween so and 90 Nez Perce Indians
from the Colville reservation left the
Okanogan valley Sunday under Il pro-
vincial police escort.
They were taken to the boundary
line, where the guard left them to pro-
ceed to their homes on the Washing
ton reservation Is the report that
comes from Colville.
The Indians are a remnant of the
tribe of Nez Perces which was driven
out of Oregon after the NeZ Perce war,
and have been in the habit of riding
into the Okanogan valley to engage in
hoppicking at COldstream ranch,
which belongs to Lord Aberdeen and
is situated few miles out of Vernon.
The Indians work diligently during
the hoppicking season but on their way
southwark have usually swept the en-
tire valley for game in order that they
might lay in their winter supplies of
food.
This has been going ON for several
years, and the result is that after the
| Indians have swarmed through the
| valley not so much as a jackrabbit has
| been left to tell the story of the Okla
hogan game massacre.

Senator Scott says the people in this

many of the exporters whose business
is affected by the boycott are inclined
to ridicule the matter. seeming to be-
lieve that the affair Is one of tenn
porary duration, says Senator Scott.
while in the far east with Secre-
tary Taft. we learned many facts
about this boycott and know that it
is a serious matter. | will cite you an
instance of how American trade is af-
fected. At Hongkong there is busi-
ness house which assured me that the
business OF the company before the
boycott was established amounted TO
5000, 900. and so far II has only
amounted TO $4,000.

which will enable the acceptable class
of Chinese to enter this country for a
