DEPUTY MARSHAL
GOT In ALL RIGHT
Major Saunders Was Held up by
Quarantine Officers.
He Showed Them Health Certificafe
Badge and Commission, But Il
Took His ~ to Get In.
CAIRo's TROUBLES MANIFOLD

Deputy United States Marshal g.
W. Saunders had an amusing exper-
fence In Cairo the other day. He
went there in the discharge of his
duty, and was stopped outside the
city by two guileless looking young
quarantine inspectors.
One stood on one side of the ma
jor and the other on the other, and
the major good naturedly halted and
humored them, although the men did
not look half as large as they evident
ly felt.
The major first showed them his
health certificate. 1t wouldn't do,
they said.
He looked at them right hard Land

they were concerned. they said. 1t

Cairo.
The major was patient. He. then
drew from his pocket his commits
sion as a United States officer. and
they read it through, handed it
back. and said II that was all he had
he might as well hike back to Padu-
cab.
But it was not all the major had.
The major is of necessity equal to
all emergencies. He played his trump
card by pulling his "A Colts land

gan to bulge. for they weren't used

memory of that "A, had the desired
effect, and the major got in Cairo,
and he got in on a Paducah health

Allentown. Pa, Aug. 31.-When
Mr.. and Mrs. Allen c. Deppe. of Hick-

was fulfilled an extraordinary curse.
A little more than twenty years

parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Timothy Scar

gagged to the son of a neighboring
farmer when Allen Deppe appeared,

sheriff the Bulletin says:
Yesterday afternoon DR.. James

of health. served upon Sheriff James
A. Roche an official demand that the
sheriff assist in the enforcement OF
quarantine regulations as provided
in the statutes II Is understood that
the sheriff on receipt of this formal
order. communicated to assistant
Secretary Palmer his acquiescence

Among the many interesting SCENES
and situations in "A Thoroughbred
Tramp" the new third act, that of
the hospital ward is probably the
most effective. where in three dis
tinct scenes is shown the reception
room, together with the male and fe-
male wards with its patients strewn
about. and where a poison plot Is
concocted and exposed to the full
satisfaction of the audience. In the
first and second acts comedy pre-
dominates though the dramatic sit
uations are strong and in the last
act much originality is displayed By
the author in righting the wrongs OF
the innocent. "a Thoroughbred
Tramp" which has been contin-
ued success since its birth, will be
seen at The Kentucky Labor day,
matinee and night.

Down in Cairo, however, they are

pie from the Egyptian city say. it
is the first time Cairo was ever good.
It's dead. The sheriff and quaran-

I'm open defiance of the quaran-

and the state of Illinois, which IS
being enforced by the officers Of
both the city and the state boards
of health, Capt. n. b. Thistlewood,

that the quarantine was all farce.

NOT SATISFIED WITH LAND
State Land Board Wants to Relinquist
Some Of its Holdings

BOISE, Jan. 16.-The state land
board is in session today arranging the
proof and evidence to submit to the in
terror department at Washington to
show that the state should be permit
ted to relinquish back to the national
government something like $4,000 acres
of land n Idaho county, which was filed
upon by Governor Morrison over a year
ago.
At the time of the filing it was given
out that the administration had made
a grand strike by fling on the land on
the recommendation of Norman Jack
son, chief clerk OF the land department.
Later it developed that the land laid
along a deep gulch and was abso-
lutely worthless for any purpose what
ever AS the state is limited in the
number of acres 1t can file OMIT is
the desire of the present board to re-
linuuish the land so as to make more
advantageous filings. The matter was
taken up by Governor Morrison before
he went out of Office and Attorney
General Bagley made a trip to Wash
ington to try to have the government
accept the land back but so far the
government has given the state au-
| thorities but little encouragement.

WyckIiffe R. Smith is Author of
Bill That Will be Pre-.
sented to House

BOISE Jan. 1.-THE school book
question is to be threshed over again
during this session of the legislature.
The contracts with the book concerns
will expire next fall and they are anx-
ious to furnish a lot Of new text books.
A fight will be made in favor OF re-
tention Of the books already in use.
REPRESENTATIVE Smith OF NeZ Perce
county has prepared a bill having this
idea in mind. His argument is that
while a few of the books named in the
existing contract are not wholly satis-
factory, they might better be used
than to leave matters in such shape
that it will be possible for the book
concerns to flood the schools with an
entire new set Of books. The following

sented in 4 few days:

Much. Amusement Was Provoked in the House by
=
Announcement that After Adjournment
Democrats Would Caucus

just prior to adjournment, some wag
sent up by one of the pages an an
nouncement that. Immediately after
adjournment, a caucus of the demo-
cratic members would be held in the
main hail. The reading OF the notice
was drowned in the laughter that en-
sued. while Gorby and Kirkpatrick. the
sole representatives OF the party Of
Jeffersonian simplicity in the lower
house, blushed like school girls in their
adjoining seats.
The Northern Idaho members held a
meeting Saturday afternoon and dis
cussed at some length the sadvisability
OF introducing a measure providing
for the issuance of district bonds for
macadamizing roads. upon vote OF the
people interested. Nothing definite
was determined uAon. but it seems
probable that some such bill will be
Introduced little later in the session.
But little has SO far been accom-
plished beyond the Introduction of
bills. These bills are many OF them
quite important, but none has yet
passed both houses except the appro-
priation measure. The house has
passed the bill creating the seventh
judicial district out of Canyon. Owy-
hee and Washington counties. leaving
Boise and Ada counties to be presided
over by Judge Stewart of the Third
district. There is already some gossip
as to who may be appointed by Gov
ernor Gooding to the new judgeship

tion.
Something of row was kicked up ir
the house during the past week ovel
the printing of the house bills. After

house, in which a large proportion o.
the members aired their forensic abil-
| tiles, the house voted by vote of 3;
! to 16 to give the printing to a repub

(, per page for 800 copies of bills. Twt
years ago the price was 80 cents pc

under democratic house. it was $1.5'

over the offer of the same democratic
