WALLACE. Idaho. Sept. 21.-The re-

Wednesday was without friction. A
few fights were expected on the floor,

laid the principles which had made the
government what it is, "and they were
republicans" he said.
For Law and Order.
Nominate men that will stand for
law and order, for r.,lich the republican
party stands. It's principles do not
countenance illegal evasion Of laws.
Its officials stand ready to punish any
violation Of the laws and apprehend
those who violate them. Many a man
has worked and strfven who has now
been utterly forgotten" This was used
to illustrate that not men, but the
principles they installed, were what
had made the government strong the
republican party.
Polysamy Not an Issue.
Il am billed for about 80 speeches

back until after the election, so don't
let your minds be diverted by a So
called democratic party, for if there
Is one 1t cannot be found. PolySamy

After once more counselling har-

The women were promptly arrested
again, and a second trial was held
Wednesday. !. At this trial no direct
evidence could be brought, and it was
held that they could not be convicted
on circumstantial or hearsay evidence.
They we're allowed to go and it was
supposed that the matter was over.
Yesterday Marshal Eaton called as
usual to collect the SECULAR monthly
fine and he was informed that they did
not have to pay fine
I'VE have been tried twice for vio-
lating the law and have been acquit-
ted" they told him. why should we
pay fine? You may arrest us and
try us again if you Wish, but we will
not pay a fine"
This condition of affairs Looked bad,
as the city did not like the notion of
losing this source of revenue. The
matter was called to the attention of
the city council, and after a long dis
cussion it was decided to allow the
matter to drop. and permit the houses
to run without fines or other molesta-
ton. 1t was at this stage that the
petition was sprung. People here do
not regard the petition as serious even
on the part of the people who are cir
culating it.
More Arrests Today.
Later today three arrests were made
in the restricted district and three girls
hauleds into court, one of them

That there should he a strong vein of
superstition in these people seems most
natural. for nowhere else. not even along
the Rhine, is there a richer growth of myths
and legends. The very naTpe of Black
Forest seems to Suggest mystery and iso-
lation. robber barons. water sprites and
mixes. Here some writers have placed
the story of Faust and his black art, while
the story of Undine hss for its locale one
of the dark upland lakes.
The spirits of good and evil still con-
tend for the possession Of mems souls and
charms and pOtions continue 10 WELD their

the peasant youth through love to his death
in the lake still hovers over the surface
of the water on moonlight nights. Satan
has always been responsible for the evil

n aggressive.
The Black Forest devil is always a maR
with thin visage, pointed beard. evil eye
and cloven hOOfs concealed by a long black
cloak. For many years this~ sinister person
plotted the dest ructio OF the country
surrounding F~reiburg. He seems to have
been especially angry against this town
on account OF the Christ ian character Of it's
people and the fine cathedral that they
built. He knew that the Handel, one OF
/, the high mountains, contained a reservoir
which if he could but turn il loose would
sweep the town and surrounding country
into the Rhine In order to accomplish
his design it was necessary to secure the
aid of an innocent child.
One day he met a little shepherd boy
who had lost one of his goats and was in
great trepidation on hat count Appear
ing as a venerable old man he offered TO
assist in finding the lost goat If the boy
would help him to roll way a certain stone
from the m~Ountainside. The hoy put his
shoulder against the rock. and it being
hard to move he exclaimed after the usual
German manner. God help mel" In
stantly a frightful storm burst over the
m~ountainside. accompanied by thunder
and lightning. The hoy dropped, stunned.
! but a. he recovered he saw a pair Of cloven
hoofs disappearing in a cloud Of sulphur.
From where he had slightly moved the
rock gushed a clear. purling spring. The
story is true. for any peasant will still show
you both rock and spring.

But the special glory of the Black Forest
girl is her -schappel, " which she wears only
on occasions of marriage, christening or
some high feast day. In effect it is a
towering bush covered with gold and silver
ornaments. scraps of pearl. coral beads,
bits Of glass, mixed here and there with
artificial flowers. Many Of these are two
and three hundred years old. and their
value varies according to the wealth Of
the possessor.
The glass which seem TO form
the basis Of these remarkable creations
were brought from Venice and Florence
by early travellers. Girls OF succeeding
generations. on their bridal days or other
festival occasions. rave added the bits of
coral and precious stones. The unwieldy
decoration is tied on the head by broad
ribbons, and together with a wide Eliza
bethan ruff, a black dress, a string Of orna-
ments around the neck and a silver girdle

There are usually not more than one
of these headdresses in a family. yet at the
weddings Of the weather. peasants in the
neighborhood Of st. Georges twenty or
thirty such may be seen at the
ceremony and at the dance that invariably

The brida dress of the Black Forest
maiden is henceforth her festival garment.

eyes the most attractive garments that

The homes of the Black Forest are az
distinctive as the people. They are some
what of the fashion of the Swiss chalet
and lie sometimes far up On the hillsides,
sometimes on ISOLATED farms, or still more
often in groups in the valleys, forming
towns which with their wide streets, over
hanging lamps and their carved wooden
balconies, brilliant with flowers, appear

hills like the painted scenery of the stage.

factories, but a greater number are carved
out at the homes of the peasants during
the long winter evenings, and the finished
products are brought down weekly TO
Furtwangen to be disposed Of at a neigh

The religious element is strong in their
lives. Every crossroad has its rudely
carved wooden Calvary, while in front Of
NAM of the houses and overlooking the
farms are great crosses with the carved
figure of the Christ, and carved representa-
tons Of all the instruments of the cruel

casting lots for the sacred garments.
Before all the large farmhouses are small
chapels. within which are quaint little affairs
and seats for congregations Of ten or twelve.
They are the meeting places of the family
and their friends on Sundays, when the
snow lies too deep to reach the churches.

Under the great matched roofs with far
projecting caves are sheltered not only
the peasants family but all his domestic
m and harvested crops. The en-
francs TO the barn is through a door in
the middle of the lower story, while the
entrance TO the dwelling is by a little bal
cony leading from the side.
The houses are built without chimneys
and the smoke from the big oven finds
its ways out through the cracks and
crevices. The timbers Of the living rooms
are coated thick from the SCOT of years
and the old beams when struck give out a
metallic ring. The cattle and horses munch
their hay and grain just outside the kitchen
door, while the fodder and straw are stored
IN The caves above the bedrooms.
The people themselves live a simple, UNI
sophisticated life. In their earlier history
they were chiefly foresters and herders,
but the land has become almost too valuable
for grazing purposes. and the fertile spots
in the valleys are carefully cultivated, while
the few sheep and cattle are confined to
the higher pastures. The German foresters
have made such a thorough study Of the
section that now the Black Forest j. one
Of their most interesting exhibits. These
great tracts of woodland, owned in many
cases by the municipalities, are carefully
guarded. Each tree receives attention and
none is cut down until another is ready TO
take its place, so that the Black Forest
promises to be a forest for many years to
come.
