Some years ago Phillips Brooks was
recovering g from an illness and was deny
ing himself to all visitors, when Robert
Ingersoll called. The bishop received him
at once. II appreciate this very much"
said Mr. Ingersol, "but why do you see
me when you deny yourself to your
friends?"
"It is this way" said the bishop; II feel
confident of seeing my friends in the next
world, but this may be my last chance of
seeing you"

Millions of Crickets.

Millions Of crickets are doing havoc

northesn part of Fremont county are
threatened with destruction by an
army of crickets that have hatched
out in tie sand hills between Dubois,
Kilgore and Medicine Lodge and st.
Anthony and are travelling south
ward at the rate nearly half a mile a
day. Fields bordering on the north.
ern part Of st. Anthony have already
been entered by millions Of crickets
which devour the vegetation. Some

have been destroyed. Some have
plowed up wheat fields that have
been swept clean and planted oats in
the hope Of getting crop by second

To Kill the Dandelion.

A simple and inexpensive method
Of getting rid of dandellons in lawns
is suggested by correspondent in
the Colorado Springs Telegraph. 1t
consists merely of sprinkling a few
drops of gasoline on the plants. The
blossoms, which carry the seeds,
should be plucked off, but the plant
need not be pulled. The use of an
oil can will prevent the gasoline from
getting on the grass and destroying
it. The dandelions and the ground
should be dry when the gasoline Is
applied. Only few drops are nee
essary to kill the plant and TO cause
the root to rot. 1t is claimed for the
method that the dandclions do not
reappear after gasoline is used.
The method is said to have proved
its merits in Colorado and it might
be given trial in Rathdrum where
the dandelions are beginning TO be a
great nu isance to those who cndeayor
to maintain beautiful lawIis.

ductea from the receipts of the In
stitution from what is known as the
Foreign Exchanges TO which various
institutions of learning pay large
sums for the distribution OF theii
scientific publications abroad, 1t
appears that the Treasury refuses to
accept the checks of private concerns
and individuals and it fell to Karr to
cash such checks when accepted in
payment and then deposit the cash
In the Treasury. For period not

Leading Company of the Ida.
hO Militia.

According to new roster of the
commissioned officers of the Idaho
National Guard just received from
Boise by Capt. w. H. Edelblute
of Co. "E", the Rathdrum COM
pany is the senior company of the
first battalion of the regiment, and
Capt. Edelblute ranks third among
captains. F. A. Mccall is still
first major in the Idaho organiza-
ton. The seniority of a company
is based upon the time it was
organized; Company "E" is the
oldest company in the guard at
present and is therefore the lead
ing company of the regiment.
Commissioned officers rank ac-
cording to the time of their COM
mission.
Following are the companies
now constituting the and Infantry,
N. G.. /:
Company A., Nampa.
Company B., Juliaetta.
Company c., Standpoint.
Company D., St. Anthony.
Company E., Ratlldrum.
Company r, Blackfoot.
Company H., Genesee.
Company l., Payette.,
Company X, Idaho Falls.
Company L., Weiser.
Company M, Rexburg.
Companies B., H and M, are
new, having been organized during
the past six months. Last year
B. was at Pocatello, II. at Ward
ner and M. at Rigby. They were
disbanded since the encampment
last July and their places taken by
the new companies. Company G..
at Albion, fell to pieces last winter.
A new company being organized
at Grangeville will probably be
designated as G. 8
Last year the regiment was re-
presented at the encampment BY
ten companies; this year it will
have the full complement o1
twelve companies. A state en-.
campment is to be held at Boise,
July IS to 80. AS military day al
Portland comes on July 70, wher
it is said all the troops of the

in THE CIRCUIT COURT.
N. P. Ry. NCompany's Suit
Against Kootenai.
.SAYSSPECIAL LTAXESILLECAL
Does Not Want Tax Deeds to
Lines, Issued.

The Northern Pacific Railway
company has begun suit in the Unit.
ed States circuit court against Koote-
nal county and Warren Flint as its
assessor and George II. Ross as its
treasurer to restrain them from deed
ing the road for delinquent taxes or
otherwise interfering with the busl-
ness of the road as common carrier.
The company has refused to pay its
1908 taxes because of the alleged H.
legality of the assessment Of special
taxes in school districts, and the
county has refused to accept the
other taxes without these. In conse-
quence none of the 1903 taxes have
been paid, and last July the road was
put up for sale and bid In by the
county. LAX sale certificate being
issued.
1t is recited in the petition of the
railway company that its main line
was assessed in the year given for
$4,000 per mile and the branch line to
Occur d'Alehe City for $4,000 per mile,
making the total valuation for the
year $75G,54 and $1,000 respective.
ly.
1t is further set forth that the
resident freeholders of the different
school districts of the county through
which the railway line passes, with
out consulting~the company or giving
it an opportunity to be heard IN the
matter, met and levied special taxes
varying from three to Is mills. AS
there are l6 Of these special taxes in
as many districts, the total amounts
TO $2799.75 on the main line and $981
On the branch. The other taxes OF
the company in Kootenai county ag-
gregate S26, 407.5s on the main line
and $2I53.30 on the Occur d'Alene
branch.
1t is objected that the ''prctended'
special school taxes are Ia contrayen-
tion of the fourteenth amendment to
the federal constitution and also Of
the constitution of Idaho.. This
amendment provides among other
things, that no. person shall be de-
prlved Of life, liberty or property
without due process Of law.
1t is asserted, in explaining the al
legged nconstitutionaiity of the
special school taxes, that they were
not levied by the legislature nor by
officers Of a "munlcipality or quasi
municipality" nor as the result of
legislative enactment fixing the rate
of taxation for school purposes.
Special stress is laid upon the state
ment that the company was not CIV
en- an opportunity to be heard before
the taxes were levied.
The county officers, it is alleged,
are threatening, unless the taxes are
paid, to not only issue tax certifl-
Gates, but deeds to the entire line of
railway crossing Idaho, which would
seriously interfere with the coinpan ny
in transporting mails. troops, muni-
tions of war and with the perform
ance Of the duty which it owes to The
public IN the transportation Of freight
and passengers as a common carrier. y
John M. Bum of Spokane and
James f. Babb Of Lewiston appear
as attorneys for the railway company.

TIES APPEAL TO SWALLOW,
Wrongfully Convicted Man Sends
Statement by Using a Unique
Method.

Rome.-The prayers of a prisoner
on the island of Porto Lougour were
answered when a petition written by
him was placed in the hands of the
minister of justice.
A swallow was used by the prisoner
to convey his plea, and the remarkable
thing is that it has at last reached the
person for whom it was destined.
Signor Jachola, keeper of the Campo
lighthouse on the island of Elba, cap
tured the bird.
Noticing a scrap of paper which was
attached to one of it's feet, he removed
it and found it was letter written
by Bruno Cataldo, who stated that he
had been wrongfully convicted of muir
der and had been in prison since 1885.
1t added that, the swallow having
entered through the grating OF his
cell, Cataldo had attached his appeal
to it's foot, hoping that it might be
forwarded to the minister of justice or
to the king. Signor Jachola forwarded
the appeal.

AN INTERESTING GRADUATE
Story of TEX Kah Tsai, Educated at
Charles City, Ia., Colleg~Re-
markable Progress.

Charles City, Ia.-One of the gradu-
ates at the Charles City college this
year is TEX Kah Tsai He is native
of Kiu Kiang, China. He will gradu-
ate with the degree of bachelor OF arts
Four years ago he could not speak
a word Of English. In the four years
he has mastered the German and Eng
lish languages and speaks them fluent.
ly. Mr.. Tsai has a family in his ma
tive city of Kiu Kiang, wife and two
boys and a girl. While he has been
attending college here he has paid his
way by giving lectures in vacation time
and at other times and has sent $500
a year home for the support of his
family. Mr.. Tsai is 35 years old, and
was born in the town of Kwang Chi,
in the province of Hu-peh. He re-
turns we'll equipped to play part in
the unfolding drama of civilization OF
that far-away land.
He has adopted the costume of the
American while here and wears no
queue. In fact, he says, this was a
thing that was imposed upon the Chi
nese by the Tartars when they invaded
his country, and was to distinguish
them as slaves. The Japanese. who
lived upon the island, then part of
China, were so isolated that they did
not come under the ban of the Tartars,
and for that reason the custom never
had a start in that country, and he
says as the Chinese become civilized
they discard the queue.

INDIAN Is A STENOGRAPHER
Young Red Man, Shorthand Writer,
Has a Remarkable Accom-
plishment.

Muskogee, I. T.-There is in the en-
ploy of the Dawes commission young
-Choctaw who is one the few stenog-
raphers in the United States who can
take dictation in shorthand in three
LANGUAGES. This mans name is l.. J..
Collins. He speaks Choctaw and
Chickasaw with as much fuency as
he does English. He is about 30
years old. His father was full-blood
Choctaw Indian, and his mother a
Chickasaw. While his father lived he
learned to speak ChoetawI. When he
went to the Chickasaw country with
his mother, that language seemed as
easy for him as the Choctaw. When
his mother died, he was picked up by
white family, and allowed to study
with them under governess. He
worked his way through the Indian
schools and finally finished course in
stenography.
