Boys.

The trial Of Henry @. Smith for
completely in the burning Of the
warehouse Of the Idaho Mercantile
company across the alley from the
store on Thursday evening, January
Ia, 1904, was called in the district
court at Rathdrum Tuesday. A jury
was secured and two witnesses eK-
amined before court adjourned for
the evening. Six witnesses we're ex
amined for the state and two for the
defense.
The ownership and value Of the
building ard It's contents we're proven
BY the testimony Of V. W. Sander
and James Roche, each Of them plac
ing the loss ct about 81, 200.
4. H. Wilson read the affidavit
which be had taken from Smith, the
defendant, at the time of the arrests,
and identified it as the same doCu-
ment.
Carl searls testified to about the
same evidence, which he had pre-
viousiy given, to the effect that
Smith was present with himself and
Oscar Schneider at the time the ware
house was fred and went into the
details Of the matter. His evidence
was very convincing and 10 the point.
Arthur Golden testified that Smith
took part with himself and Schneider
In the burning Of the big warehouse
Of the mercantile company on Sun
day evening. March Is. 1908. This
testimony was used to show that
smith would commit such crimes.
w. T. BeIlus and Mrs. Howard
Lambert we're put on the stand a
witnesses for the defense, but theil
testimony was Of little value and
neither witness could testify to any
thing definitely. Mrs. Lambert said
that she had been informed by Lsro,
Weston or had beard some one ssl
that be removed giant powder frou
the warehouse the day before the fire
The case Was argued Thursday ana

Noteworthy Meeting in Washington.

Washington, December 26.-A note
ton the other day, when the President
received five of the great labor organiza-
tions connected with the operation of
railroads-those of the engineers, fire.
men, conductors, switchmen and train
men. The delegation, headed by George
Huntley, of the conductors S organization,
presented n statement showing that the
would involve the lowering of rates and
that this in turn would mean lessening
of the earning power of railroads and
eventual reduction of the wages of rail
road employees.
Mr.. Huntley assured the President
chat the delegation represented no parti-
san or political influence, but that it did
represent a class of employees earning
50O,000,0O0 annually, numbering not
less than quarter of a million organized
workers and at least million other rail
road servants who would be affected by
any reduction in the earning capacity of
the corporation employing them. The
national organizations of the conductors,
engineers, switchmen, trainmen and fire
men have officially protested against re-
ductions in railroad rates.
"What impresses us with more force
than any other side of the ISSUE" says
the statement els this: Why have the
railroad interests in particular been se-
lected for this attack? Why is the Inter.
state Commerce Commission or some
similar commission not to be clothed with
the same absolute authority to fix the
maximum prices on beef, pork, oil. cloth
ing, butter and eggs, etc., iu fact every
ching which one has to buy every day?
1t seems to us that such q step would be
infinitely more reasonable than this pro-
posed move on railroad rates, because all
of these and other commodities have ad.
vanced by leaps and bounds and by
methods which we all agree would bear
investigation, while the general average
of railroad freight rates has steadily de-
creased from two cents ton mile, in
1870, down to three-fourths of one cent
ton mile to-day, and during the last
ten years the railroad companies have
granted substantial wage concessions to
their employees and also ameliorated la
Dor conditions"
In answering the spokesman of the
delegation President Roosevelt said that
his aim was to abolish unjust dscrimi-
nation rather than to effect u general
lowering of rates. "In two recent cases."
he said, "the complaints that have been
made to me have been that they are too
low as regards certain big shippers; the
complaint in both these cases is about
tho differential, the difference of treat
ment of two sets of users of the rail
ways. the difference in favor of one set
of shippers as against another set of
shippers. Whether this is just or not I
am not prepared to say"

Josselyn, was at one time private
secretary to Jefferson Davis.)
She is u,odest, but not bashful,
Free and easy, but not bold,
Like an apple, ripe and mellow,
Not too young and not too old,
Half inviting, half repulsing,
Now advancing, and now shy;
There is mischief in her dimple-
There is danger in her eye.
She has studied human nature,
She is schooled in all her arts,
She has taken her diploma
AS tho Mistress of all Hearts,
She can tell the very moment
When to sigh and when to smile
o, a maid is often charming,
But widow all the while.
Are you sad? How very serious
Will her smiling face become;
Are you angryp She is wretched,
Dropping, signing, fearful, dumb.
Are you mirthfulp How her laughter,
Understanding, will ring out
She can lure, and catch, and play you,
AS the angler does the trout.
Ye old bachelors of forty,
Who have grown so bald and wise
Young Americans of twenty,
With the love locks in your eyes
You may practice all the lessons
Taught by Cupid since the fall,
But know little widow
Who can win and fool you all.

TaIiuiah Falls RaIIroad.

The first dirt was broken in Macon
county soil by the Tallulah Falls railroad
on Monday, November 18th, 1905. at
Fosters store, ten miles south of Frank
lin, and the work has been going on at
that point for over two weeks. The
camp of the force working at this point
is at Smiths Bridge. Another camp,
located near M. II. Norton's, two miles
further up the river, has been engaged
for week or ten days clearing off right
of way, was to have commenced grading
last Monday, but we have not learned
definitely whether it was commenced or
not. The camp located at Mr.. Fosters,
just this side of the Georgia line, is at
work on the grade between billiard and
the State line, about two miles, and the
grading is perhaps two-thirds done on
that section.
The first passenger train was run to
billiard last Sunday, sixteen miles dis
tant from Franklin. A regular schedule
will be put on to billiard, December 1st,
1905. BY that time telegraph office
will have been installed, and as early as
practicable thereafter an express office
will be opened.
We have been informed by tho man.
agement of the road that the contract
has been let from the Georgia line to
Franklin to Wright & Company and that
they will grade the first five miles from
the line this way, and the balance is sub
let We also learn that Wright & Com
pany is under heavy bond to have the
work completed to within one mile of
Franklin by August lst, next year, The
general manager informs us that trains
will be run to Franklin by September 1st,
