RebekahS Had Pleasant Time.

-
On Monday evening, the Rebekahs !
of Montpelier, received an official
visit from the President of the Re-
bekah State Assembly, Mrs. Minnie
Priest Dunton.
Sister Dunton is known all over
Idaho as one of, if not the most en-
thusiastic Rebekah IN the state. She
helped to institute the State Assem-
bly,, and has never missed a meeting
for Is years, serving Z years as
grand secretary. Last fall she was
elected from the floor, by acclama-
ton, to be president.
Her instructions to the members
of the lodge, were along different
line from any of her predecessors,
and she expounded the law in regard
to many points, in her incompatible
way, making all SO clear, and show
ing how beautiful the work is when
carried on in an orderly, systematic
way, and each one required to do
their parts as nearlyeperfect as pos
sible.
Her address was listened to with
the closest attention, and the men,
bers expressed themselves, as having
received more practical good from
her visit, than any yet received
The President Of the Assembly
has an allowance for travelling ex
penses and is expected to visit al
Rebekah lodges in the state, some
70 in number, with a membership
OF nearly 1000. This will require
her absence from her home fully
three months, and many days O
hard and exhausting travel by raj
and stage. But there is also mucl
pleasure to be found in going
through the state and meeting will
various lodges.
The next annual assembly meets
in Lewiston in October and will b
a large and pleasant meeting as it i
popular town with all Odd Fellow
and Rebekahs.

WOMAN SNOONS
IN WEARY LINE

After waiting an hour or more in
line at the postofiice window yester-
day a lady found herself at the win
dow. She had scarcely given her name
when she threw up her arms and
swooned to the floor, says the Tono-
pah Sun.
The long wait had completely ex-
hausted her and before she could re-
ceive the letters she was stretched full
length on the postoflice floor in a dead
faint.
But for the quickness of the gentle
man next in line she would have re-
ceived a severe shock in striking the
floor. In few minutes the lady re-
vived and was shown every courtesy by
the postofiiee employees. She was con-
Quoted to seat in the rear of the post
Office where she soon recovered COM
pletely.
The episode called forth lot of COM
ment from the crowded Office and the
men scanned the long lines half ex-
pecting to see others of the tired
women drop from WEAKNESS.

TO SAVE HIS
AGED FATHER

One of the most peculiar and most
TO be regretted cases on record has de-
veloped in the United States Court
During the trial of p. A. McCarran.
on the charge Of stealing telephone
poles from the government, he was
ably defended by his son, Young
man who has represented Washoe
county in the legislature, a graduate
of the State University and a young
man of promise.
The young man made an eloquent
plea for his father and the Jury ac-
quilted him.
But what did more than Ibis sons
pleading was the fact that the latter
confessed on the stand that he himself
chopped down the governments prop
erty and hauled it away.
While it is the theory of the gov
ernment's side to the case that the
witness perjured himself to save his
father, warrant has been prepared
which will be sworn TO in a few days
The service will not be made until Mr..
MeCarran can take flying trip to
Plumas county to look after his bust
ness interests. The government feels
that in view of the testimony of Hon.
P. A. McGarran, Jr., it had no other
recourse but to charge him with the
crime.

The congressional committee author
lied to investigate railroad practices SO
as to give the Senate more information
when the Esch-Townsend bill, passed by
the House, comes up at the next session,
probably in October, began their inquiry
on April II. We believe the Esch-
Townsend bill will have to be very much
modified before it can pass the Senate;
but every subdivision of the Il. of l., T..
in the States should take an interest in
this subject, which they ought to feel is
very near to them, for the interest of
the railroads in large sense, is their in
terest: not that it would result n the
reduction of wages. but would, "A all
probability. deter any advance and
would likely make it more difficult to
sustain what we have, and it would be n
good move either to see or write each
congressman or senator, and express
disapproval of any measure which would
take from the railroad management the
rate-making power. Let the law be
amended, if necessary, to give the COM
mission power to cure such evils as are
complained of, and give it unqualified
authority to enforce the interstate COM
merce law.
