had trouble. He ran some thirty yards

RESERVATION LANDS
Efforts Being Made to Facilitate Early
Opening of Rich Tract.

Congressman French has intro
duced a bill providing for the open
ing Of the Occur d'Alene Indian
Reservation. During the last Con-
gress Senator Hepburn and Mr..
French secured an appropriation
of $25, 900 for the purpose of hay-
ing complete survey made Of the
reservation. This survey has
not yet been finished, but it is
expected that it will be in the near
future, and the purpose OF Mr..
French in introducing the bill at
this time is to facilitate the opening
of the reservation when the sur
vey is accepted, even though Con-
gress may not bein session at the
time. 1t is likely that the survey will
not be accepted before the adjourn.
ment of the present session of Con-
gress; and, as it is Mr.. French's de-
sire that the reservation be thrown
open just as soon as possible, his
present bill is for the purpose Of
providing against the emergency
of having to wait until the next
session of Congress.

Orr-coLOR ECONOMY
indication OF Intention 10 Restrict Rurai
Free Delivery.

From statements made few
days ago by Mr.. Hitchcock, the
First Assistant Postmaster Gener-
al, it is evident that the Postoffice
Department, in the spirit Of econ.
omy, intends to restrict and to a
certain extent cut down the Rural
Free Delivery service. The salary
OF the carriers is to be cut from an
average Of $707.12 year to $500
per year. The Department is also
in some places changing a daily
service to tri-weekly. This is re-
garded by the Senators and Con-
gressmen freai Southern and West.
ern States as a poor piece OF econ
omy. They look upon the Rural
Free Delivery as the greatest boon
ever extended TO the country peo-
pie, and just when the system is get
ting firmly established and in good
working order, it seems as if it
should be extended instead Of re-
stricted. By this move the Govern
ment will save about a million
dollars. This, however, would be
very. good il like economy were
practiced in all departments, but
the Postoffice Department intends
to pay to all the railroads over three
million dollars more than last
year for carrying the mails. A
strong effort will be made, espe-
cislly by Senators and Represent
atives from Western States, to pre-
vent the Rural Free Delivery SER
vice from being restricted.

Moscow Public Building.

Last week Senator Hepburn re-
ported from the Committee on Pub.
lie Buildings and Grounds, of which
he is member, bill introduced
by Senator Dubois, providing for
the erection Of a public building
at Moscow, Idaho. Senator Hey
burn secured the passage OF the
bill, which carries with it an ap.
preparation of $4,000 for a build
ing and site. 1t will be remem-
bered that Congressman French
secured favorable report on q
similar measure last year from the
Committee; but, as no Public
Buildings bill passed the House at
that time, he was not successful.
MIR. French now has similar bill
in the House and it is likely that
he will receive favorable report
on it, and that it will be passed.

SANE OLD BOOMERANG

Mr.. Aldrich's scheme, however,
has already proved boomerang,
and in his effort to discredit the
rate bill by having Senator Till

country the greatest service he
ever performed during his long
term Of service. The Democrats
extremely we'll pleased, and will

when the Republicans are so bad

Senator Tillman, although radical
at times, is regarded as a wonder
fully brilliant man. He is not a
lawyer, but farmer, and farmer
with great deal Of good common
horse sense. He has improved in
every way since he gained the
"pitchfork' reputation; and, above
all, Senator Tillman is considered
absolutely honest.

.RAHROADRATEBHL|
Champions Lining Up for BatteTo be Fought Out Floor Of
Senae-Ferce Spectacular Struggle Stage Of Publicity
with People Audience Economy that Leaves Bad Taste
Special Warrington

The country is now face TO face
with the railroad rate fight. In
stead Of the squabbles that have
been taking place behind the closed
doors Of the Senate Committee on
Interstate Commerce, the great bat
tie is now to be fought out openly on
the floor Of the Senate. and the
voters will have an oppor.
tunity to see whether their repre-.
sentatives are with the President
and the people, or with the rail-
roads.
Senator Aldrich, the pet Of the
Standard Oil Company, has been
trying to place the railroad fight
in the light Ct a huge Joke. Unable
to amend the Hepburn bill in the
Committee, he seems to have taken
almost malicious delight in sug-
costing Senator Tillman as the
proper person to have charge Of it
on the floor OF the Senate. The
honor belonged to Senator Dolli-
yer, who has stood staunchly for
the bill, but the Aldrich strength,
composed OF Aldrich, Foraker,
Keen, Crane, and Elkins, was suf-
ficient to name Tillman.
Mr.. Aldrich did this for two rea-
sons. First, Mr.. Tillman, Demo-
crat, has been the most bitter enemy
the President has had in Congress.
Therefore his selection was un.
questionably intended as an
insult to the President. Second,
Mr.. Aldrich wishes TO give the i'm
preston that the bill is practically
a Democratic measure, because il
was supported in committee by a
full Democratic membership;
whereas, the majority OF the Re-
publicans opposed it.
All this, OF course, may be strict
" in accordance with Aldrich's
idea of joke, but he is already
beginning to find that the question
of Governmental supervision over
railways is not joking matter.
He cannot draw partisan lines.
The Hepburn bill has had the sup
port of the President. II was re-
ported to the House unanimously,
Republicans and Democrats alike
voting for it. 1t was passed blythe
House as a strictly non.partisan
measure, and stands before the Sem
ate absolutely non-partisan. No
Senator, even though he may be-
long to the class known as "rail.
road Senator's" can skulk behind a
partisan wall, and every one will
have to answer to his State.

THE CALL FOR HELP
Associated Charities in Need of
of Clothing and Provisions

The Associated Charities, under the
stewardship of John Pendray, is now
getting ready for the cold winter and
the consequent suffering of the poor
of the city. The association has a
few clothes on hand, such as shoes,
etc, but not enough to carry them
through the winter.
The weather SO far this year has
been very mild and is giving the as
ISOLATION a chance to get ready for
the cold weather that is sure to fol-
low. The association is badly in need
of articles for the winter and If those
who have some cast off articles
would telephone the Charities Office
they would send a man for the goods.
The ladies who have been soliciting
the money for the poor this winter
are not receiving as good responses
as they should. The ladies will have
meeting tomorrow afternoon to lay
plans for the coming winter.
A large NUMBER or farmers no
doubt have old cast off articles that
they have no use for and provisions,
such as apples, potatoes, pumpkins,
etc., that would help the Charities out
considerably this winter. The only
trouble it seems, is that they do not
know the location of the Associated
Charities. Several times farmers
have come to the city with articles,
not knowing where to leave them for
the Charities. The Office of the as
sociation is 300 South First street,
the first door south of Parker's Vet
Urinary hospital, and one and one-half
blocks from Neagle's grocery.
The Office hours of the association
are from 1880 a. m. until 500 p. m.
but Steward Pendray is there mos
of the day.

MURDERER OF WIFE AND Who'll E
FAMILY TAKEN FROM PRIs-
ON TO ASYLUM.

Anamosa, Ia, Nov. 27.-Wm. S. Nc
Williams, who brutaly murdered his
wife and six children near Independ-
ence early in the year, was found in
sane today by the Jones county in
sane commission. His condition was
ordered investigated by the prison
officials. McWilliams has been in the
insane ward of the prison since April
"a The testimony of the ward dep
uty, warden of the prison, physician
and guaru revealed practically the
same things,
McWilliams at times became so
violent that he was tied to the bed
in his cell. Again he was melancho-
ly and talked incoherently to himself,
gesturing with his hands and head in
the hallucination that he was driving
stock and farming. He does not
speak of his terrible crime unless
asked, and says his wife was not a
Christian, that the future was not
bright for his children and that some
thing told him to kill them.
The story OF McWilliams' crime was
one of the most revealing in the
criminal history of the state. His
wife and six children, some barely old
enough to walk, were found terribly
mutilated in the cabin Of his home.
Their heads in some cases has been
severed from the body, and all had
been attacked with an ak or big
butcher knife and hacked into an I'M
recognizable shape. Nothing very
conclusive had ever been found
against McWilliams, but he was con-
yicted and sentenced to death, but the
declartion of his insanity will proba-
bly, causefa revocation of the punish
ment temporarily at least.
