ELECTRIC WIRES CUT.
Moving of Old Congregational Church
Causes Much Trouble.

Ordinarily the simple task of NOV
ing a church would not affect the pub
fishing of a newspaper but such came
very near being the case today when
the electric light and power wires of
the Northwestern Gas & Electric COM
pany We're cut to admit of the passing
of the old Congregational church which
is being moved to Green's Park addi-
tion east of the city. The tall spire
Of the church towers many feet above
the electric wires and it was neces-
sary to cut the cables at the corner Of
East Main and Idaho streets today
in order to give the edifce a clear
track on it's way to the new site. The
cutting of the cables resulted in the
electric current being shut off which in
turn shut down the linotype machines
of the Statesman for two hours during
the busiest part of the day. =

RAILROAD STILL OBSTINATE
NO DECISION REACHED FOR RE.
MOvAL OF TRACKS IN WASH
lNGTON COULEE.
Arbitrary Action of Railway May Re
suit in PaIouse Irrigation Project
Being Abandoned.

1t is just possible that the action
of the o. R. & N in attempting tC
force the government to buy or pay
heavy damages for the removal Of its
tracks from the Washtucna coulee
may result in the Palouse irrigation
project, fostered by the reclamation
bureau, being abandoned. Julius
Kruttschnitt, assistant to the presi-
dent of the Southern Pacific ana I'm
ion Pacific systems had a conference
with Director Wolcott of the geo1og
ical survey Saturday in regard to the
Palouse irrigation project, but no con-
clusion was reached.
The government has for some time
been negotiating with the railway to
remove it's tracks from the coulee,
the site of the proposed reservoir for
the Palouse project, but as yet no sat-
isfactory conclusions have been reach
ed owing to the arbitrary stand taken
by the Southern Pacific officials. 1t
is believed that rather than be forced
to pay an exorbitant figure for the re-
moval of the tracks the government
will abandon the project.

Chicago Doctor Says Ideal Old Age De-

SHICAGO, March 29.-By following
.4recepts laid down to the National
Promotion of Health club by DR.. j. B.
S. King, here today, you will live to
be 100 years old. At any rate, the doc
tor says so. And he says:
Many people who get stout at their
fortieth year, think they are in fine
shape. Mistaken idea. @Stoutness at
40 is a sign of old age as much is gray
hair. When it is noticed the diet
should be cut down one-third. The
active. Old age, however, loves fat,
While youth detests it.
Oats for children and milan corn
Tor adults is almost perfect food. Meat
ideal old age is to be lean, spare and
the only food for a severe effort.
TOO much meat, however, causes a bad
temper. The nearest approach to a
perfect brain stimulant is coffee"

BALLARD, March 29-Mrs. Carrie
S. Steele died this morning of blood
poisoning, puerperal fever and other
affections incident to child birth. On
March II she gave birth to a girl baby
that weighed 17A pounds. Ever since
then her condition has been very crit
ical, but high hopes of her recovery
were entertained until noon yesterday,
when she began TO sink rapidly, dying
at $50 o'clock this morning.
Though she weighed less than 125
pounds, Mrs. Steele was a woman Of
unusual vitality. For this reason the
physicians thought that she might re-
cover, though the conditions of her H.
ness were very much against her and
such as a woman of ordinary strength
could not withstand. The baby Is
thriving.

ALLEGED PlOSONER WILL FACE
TWO SERIOUS CHARGES TO
BE FILED.
Charge of Robbery Will Be Preferred
Charge May Follow.

One if not two serious charges Will
be filed against George Buchanan, the
ranch hand arrested by Sheriff Paint
er Monday, suspected of being impli-
Gated in the poisoning and robbing of
Lou Matthews, the Snake river ranch
er. last week One charge of robbery
will be filed against Buchanan tomor-
row and if certain evidence can be ac-
cumulated by the officers second
charge of attempted murder will also
be lodged against him.
Sheriff Painter is at the Matthews
ranch on Snake river today ferreting
out evidence that it is believed will
prove that Buchanan administered
poison to Matthews in order to clear
himself of an Indebtedness that Mat
thews held against him and also to
obtain possession of $500 which Bu-
chanan knew Matthews had cached
away.
Buchanan attracted suspicion to
himself by appearing in Walla Walla
a day or so after Matthews was pois-
oned with several hundred dollars
whihc he proceeded to spend literally
in certain Main street saloons. A
quiet investigation conducted by Sher-
iff Painter and Deputy Haviland also
revealed the fact that Buchanan had
attempted to borrow some squirrel
poison from a neighbor day or so
before Matthews was poisoned, but his
request was refused. Later he ap-
preached the neignbor's wife and Sc
cured a small quantity on the plea
that he wanted to kill some coyotes
Buchanan is man about SO years of
age but he appears much older owing
to his dissipated habits. He is hard
drinker and most of his earnings are
spent for booze" Buchanan is pre-
paring a hard defense and has en-
ployed Oscar Cain as counsel.
