INTEREST IN CASES.
Lewiston People Indicted Are Very
Prominent.


The indictment of a number of
prominent citizens of Lewiston for
completely in land frauds is being
watched with interest by many people
acquainted with some of the indicted
persons, says the Walla Walla Union.
Naturally the one question that is
perhaps asked more than any other is
relative to the penalty for the various
offenses named i'm the Indictments.
The federal statutes show that punish
ment for perjury are the same, being
fine of not more than $4,000 or not
more than five years Imprisonment.
The statute also provides that any
person convicted of perjury can not
after that testify In any court of the
United states until the judgment is
reversed.
Relative to indictments for conspir-
ing to defraud the United States gov
ernment out of timber land. section
544O, as amended in 1879, of the
United states statutes provides a pen
atty as follows:
IF two or more persons conspire
either TO commit any offense against
the United States or to defraud the
United States in any manner or for
any purpose, and one or more of such
parties effect the object of conspiracy
all parties to such conspiracy shall be
liable to a penalty of not more than
$4,000, or to Imprisonment for not
more than two years. or to both fine
and Imprisonment, In the discretion of

DUBOIS IN THE ORIENT.
senator From Idaho Describes Trip
With Taft.

In his lecture last night at Trinity
hall Senator Dubois, who was one Of
the party of United States senator's
and representatives headed by Secre-
tary Taft and accompanied by Miss
Alice Roosevelt, which recently re-
turned from an extended visit in the
orient very vividly and Interestingly
carried his audience through oriental
cities, picturing scenes and conditions
in a very clear cut manner. He de-
voted the greater portion OF his ad-
dress to the japanese and Japan, says
the Boise Statesman.
Senator Dubois was introduced by
Bishop Funsten IN a short but pithy
talk.
The Taft party left San Francisco
on July and made their first stop at
the Hawaiian islands. There was not
much to see here, said the senator.
Agriculture is about the only indus
try in the islands and yet there is not
as much agricultural land there as in
the smallest county in Idaho. All the
land is devoted to sugar plantations,
which are cultivated solely by the col
ored race.
The Hawaiian people are something
like the American negro, only more
mild and according to the views of the
senator, the doom of the race Is sealed
as It will be only a matter of time un-
til they become exterminated. One
thing all in the party had agreed upon
before leaving Hawaii. said Senator
Dubois was that they wanted the ex-
clusion law changed so that $4,000
Chinese could supplant the $4,000 Jap
anese that were in the islands, as they
had become disgusted with the Japs
there.
Next the party went to Japan. said
| the senator, where they were met by a
/ delegation of citizens and others who
took them to Toxic. The people of
Japan were very warm in their well
come of the Americans and demon
strated their feelings in no uncertain
way. The party was entertained by
| individuals and nowhere were they
sent to hotels. carriage and driver
| from the royal palace was placed at
the disposal of each member of the
party and everything done for their
convenience. The first function to
which the party was invited in Japan
was given by the emperor and minis
ters.
Senator Dubois created a laugh
when he described how the members
of the party were coached for the oc-
casion and the manner in which they
entered the presence of the mikado

He had fought the weakness. stub

The first time he had approached a

the terror was still upon him But it

shaft casting, and workman, after
hurried search among the molds near
the furnace, went to the room where
they were made. Finding this all
clamped and apparently ready, and
supposing that Bud had overlooked it,
he threw it upon hand truck and
hurried it to a very front place among
the molds. for immediate use.
When Bud returned. the travelling
crane had JUS. swung great kettle Of
kissing metal directly above this mold,
and a workman was in the act OF
dipping the kettle to run in the iron.
At first Bud did not notice, and it was
only when the fiery stream shot down
and his gaze followed it that he I'M
derstood.
AS he realized the catastrophe that
was coming, his limbs trembled SO he
had to grasp an upright for support.
and his gaze swept Involuntary
toward the entrance, but only for an
instant. Then the impending danger
of the workmen around the shaft
mold seemed to drive everything else
from his mind, and with wild cry
and a tremendous bound that carried
him half the intervening distance, he
threw himself forward and upon the
mold, grasping it with extended arms
and tense muscles.
Already the metal was kissing down
into the mold, and few drops of it
touched his forehead and scared down
across his cheek, making a livid scar
that would remain with him for life.
But he did not know, did not even feel
it. His face was set, his teeth
clinched
He was strong boy, but ordinarily
he could not have lifted the weight in
that shape, with the addition of the
metal already in and with the hot,
scorching glare blistering his face.
But now he raised it swiftly to his
knees. to his shoulders. above his
head, and then with one fierce, ire
mendous. cxertion of his strength he
hurled it through window few feet
away, breaking glass and sash as it
shot out and down into the yard be-
yond.

earth floor. gas ping and trembling,
faint from the horror and weak from
the exertion. Several of the workmen
lifted him and carried him out into
the open air. He tried to raise his
hand in expostulation. but was too
weak.
AS he lay there. however, sudden
comprehending, joyous light flashed
into his eyes. and he smiled happily.

The prize was won by Mrs. Fanny r.

story in a western Kansas settlement.
A large family lived in very small

above it was swinging bed attached
to the rafters that was occupied by the
boys. Mrs. Bevard completes the
story as follows:
On this particular evening a neigh

the girls, and she stayed all night
with them. With games and songs
and lots of laughing and talking the
evening passed and bedtime came.
Miss Jessie being their company.
the girls gave her the front of the bed,
and there was one small girl who slept
with the older girls and Jessie.
The boys went to bed above, and.

this was very wet, through some
carelessness of the molder, and Bud
