Must Pay ax.

The government committee of the stock exchange has officially decided that buy CTS of stocks must pay the transfer tax of s2 per 100 shares, this to be in addi- tion to the regular commission or Sl2.5e each way. It is too early yet to form judgment as to the effect or the stamp tax on speculative business. Opinions differ radically on that point. The pub lic would like very much to see the tax paid by members. of the exchange, but inc latter will not stand for 1t, holding that they are poorly paid as it is.

 For almost three-score years Joseph Jefferson was active upon the stage. A long time that to have moved every year the hearts of thousands to tears and laughter. Many now of mature years first learned through Jefferson the power of the actors art. To these. and to all who have felt his gentle sway, his name and memory will be held in grateful rec olleetion. He was the best instance in our time of the strongly personal hold the actor, as distinguished from the ex- ponents of otter arts. Las upon his pub lie II is flesh and blood living human being, who makes the appeal to our own humanity, and we never disassociate wholly the man who does it from the thing he does. And when he departs from us there goes with him the thing he did, not to endure except In memory and not to be reproduced by another With the death of Joseph Jefferson there comes to us a feeling of the distinct loss of a dear possession which cannot be re- pla sed. The Rip Van Winkle' that we wept over and laughed al and loved has gone from us forever except as he lives beloved in our memories.

f,e..s Was a Surprise.

The announcement that Paul Morton is to be made president of the Inter- borough (the subway and elevated sys- tenn came as a surprise. His name has been mentioned in connection with about half the railroad companies of the country, but nobody appears to have thought of him the head of the Man haitian tubes and "stilts." MT Mor- tons retirement from the cabinet has been a foregone conclusion and he has been feeling around for a soft job for several weeks. He has landed one which will net him $50 900 a year and which will make him a permanent resident of New York, where he has spent most of his time since 1898. Before leaving political life, MT. Morton succeeded in getting his brother-in-law, Shonts, into the pres idency of the Panama canal commission at S3OO0O year. This deal leaves him with considerable influence in the trans continental railroad situation.

No Line Of Connection.

Last winter the legislature passed
a bill authorizing the creation of
commission to investigate the con-
dition of affairs in the State land
office. The commission met at
Boise this week for the purpose of
proceeding with its duties, but has
been obliged to return to its several
places Of abode without hitting a
lick. Attorney General Guheen
has discovered to his satisfaction,
that the bill passed by the Iegisla-
ture does not convey authority to
the committee. nor does there seem
to be line of connection between
the commission and a $4,000 appro-
priation which the legislature voted
to carry on the investigation. DR..
France, a member of the commits,
sion, declares that he has discover
ed enough to warrant the convlC-
ton tina: there was fraud in the
land department during some pre-
vious administration. But the
good doctor fails to tell US which,
and probably will remain silent on
that point until line of connection
can be established that will enable
the commission to proceed with the
investigation.

For Pure Food,

An important item in the exten-
sion of the work of the Bureau of
Chemistry has been the establish
ment of inspection for imported
food products. As a result, food
products imported to this country
have been greatly improved. In
former years the United States was
regarded as the dumping ground
for the refuse teas of the commerce
of the world. Many years ago, in
order to overcome this evil, a sys-
tenn of inspection of imported teas
was established, and has since been
maintained. Under the bene6cent
working of this system Americans
are now certain of being able to
purchase pure and wholesome tea,
since it is almost impossible for
spurious and unadulterated teas to
find their way into this country.

Mrs. William Kesler was burned
to death last Tuesday. Waile pre-
pairing salve of lard and turpen-

and the flames were communicated
to her clothes. She ran into the
yard and tried to smother the fire
by rolling on the grass. Failing in
this she wrapped bedding about her
but by this time was severely burn
ed all over the body. Before the
FIRE was extinguished she was fatal
ly injured. Upon the return of her
husband, who is a drayman, she
was found in bed suffering the most
terrible agonies. A physician was
promptly summoned, but nothing
could be done to save the unfortun-
ate woman. She expired about

aole' however, that the governors
stan and such state officials as can
get away for the trip will be there.
The battleship is 40 per cent
completed. and the Cramps COM
pany has notified the bureau of
navigation and construction at
Washington that the launching
should not be delayed later than
december 9th, The bureau there
lore decided on that day for the
event, and SO notified Senator Hey
burn, who in turn wired Governor
Gooding.
The Idaho will be one of the
most powerful battleships of the
first class in the American navv.
The governor therefore believes
that 1t would be particularly fitting
to make the event of the launching
one OF considerable note. He
Will urge upon the members of his
staff to accompany him, and will
also invite prominent citizens of the
state to join the party. All the
members of the Idaho congression-
al delegation will be present to
lend the occasion additional dig
nifty.
Miss Gooding, who will christen
the Idaho, is one of Idaho's beau-
tiful native daughters.
No definite plan for the presen-
tation by the people of Idaho of a
suitable gift to the battleship has
been outlined, but the proposal has
been frequently discussed among
citizens. 1t has been suggested
that by public subscription a fund
might be raised for the purchase of
some sort of gift, either in the
way of dinner service, memorial
tablet, set of flags, or something of
similar character.
The governor and his party will
leave Boise about December rst,
and will return in time for the

Farming Operations.

The climate and crop service of
the Government Weather Bureau,
Idaho station, reports on farming
operations as follows:
Harvest of late fruits progressed
throughout the month; the yield of
high grade apples in some CONNER
cial orchards was considerably bet
ter than expected, but in elevated
districts some fruit was frozen on
the tree. Large quantities of sugar
heets were gathered and shipped
to the factories, and though the
yield of beets was somewhat dis
appointing in some sections, the
seasons output of sugar will be
large. Experimental plots of beets
grown in various localities where
factories are not yet in operation
gave very promising returns. Do
mestic stock came through the
month in excellent condition.
Range stock in most instances
found ample subsistence, but in
some localities feed was short, and
absence of rain over the greater
part of the winter range is causing
some apprehension, particularly
among wool growers. In northern
wheat growing districts there was
sufficient moisture to enable prep
aration of the soil for winter
wheat, but elsewhere the ground
was very dry throughout most of
the month"

occurring in the most peculiar
manner. He was driving a con-

Montana, going via the Goldstone
trail Just on the Montana side
part of the cattle ran ahead of the
drivers, presumably looking for
water. Coming to a lake, on
which pretty firm shore ice had
been formed, the brutes started to-
wards the middle. When over
deep water, the ice gave way, and
about fttv head were drowned

Hazing at Moscow.

A Moscow special to the Lewis
ton Tribune, date Nov. IS, says:
In class fight between freshmen
and sophomores at the University
of Idaho Thursday evening, Jay
Jellick, prominent member of the
under class, was taken from his
room, and his forehead, cheeks and
hands were painted with the fig
ures 'o8, with a solution of nitrate
of silver. The young man sought
the services Of a physician as soon
as he was released, and had the
painted portions of his body treat
ed. The action OF the solution
leaves a black scar, and also PEN
etrates the skin. The physician
states that it is doubtful if there
will be a permanent scar, and that
there is no real danger unless blood
poisoning sets in.
The treatment of Freshman Jel-
lick is the outcome of a bitter ri
valry between the classes, starting
in fight last week, when the
freshmen had the better of the ar
gument. The sophomcres swore
revenge, and have been making
life miserable for the under class
men ever since. The leader of the
freshman class, Roy Barto, was
also captured the same night, hand
cuffed and taken out on the cam
pus, and left until rescued by class
mates. 1t is not known what eff
feet the painting of JelIick's face
will have on student affairs at the
university.
