Miss May l.. Scott, state super
lntendent of public instruction, is
visiting the schools If this county.
She is accompanied by Miss Mar
garet Roberts, daughter Of ex At
torney General Roberts, and a
prominent and popular society lady
of Boise.
Miss Scott is serving her second
term as state superintendent, and
it is generally conceded that her
record is highly creditable, being
characterized by efficiency and a
faithful performance of duty. She
has no desire to succeed herself,
and she announces with serene
and satisfied air that she will re-
tire to private life at the end of
her term with every political am
bition gratltied. Ask Miss Scott
to account for the serene and salts
fed air, she would blush and say
it came from the knowledge Of
duty we'll performed, which would
bs only half the truth. The other
half would be expressed by the
blush, which, being interrupted,
means that soon after her retire.
nent from Office she will become
the bride of Judge Harry Worth
man, a prominent young attorney
of Boise ana veteran of the
spanlsh-American war.
Miss Scott talked very freely
regarding Miss Chanberlain's re-
moval from the superintendent's
Office. She had read the defense
of Miss Chamberlain published in
The Press few weeks ago, and
said that she realized that Miss
chamberlain had many friends in
s2his city. But it will be borne in
mind that with few exceptions
these friends had known Miss
Chamberlain only during the four
months she taught iii the schools
here and their knowledge of her
was limited to her work in the
school room and to her social at
tainments, in both of which Miss
Scott cheerfully y admitted that she
was a success. But her work in
the superintendent office, Miss
Scott said proved beyond question
that she was totally deficient in ex-
ecutive ability.
Miss Scott said that since an
nouncing her candidacy for state
superintendent Miss Chamber
lain's work has been more thar
ever unsatls 'actory. However
she had decided to put up 18th j

Tonight there will be an un
usually strong attraction at the
Armory.
The play is a masterpiece from
the pen of the we'll known author
Fitzgerald Murphy. 1t is beau
tiful story, depicting the trials Of
a young Chicago girl, who, after
passing through untold misery, is
restored at last to her husband.
The play is full of comedy and
pathos, with thrilling situations
filled with heart interest. This
play is a decided departure from
the usual run of melodramas, and
its very truth to nature is one of
it's most admirable qualities. The
story is worked out on the simple
lines of everyday life and is called
ga Deserted Bride.' The man.
agement has provided new and
special scenery, showing poverty
in a tenement basement in Chicago
and the magnificent apartments of
a wealthy young attorney. There
is also a prison scene with thrill
ling climax; the pardon of the IN
| fortunate heroine. The author
has succeeded in giving the the.
atre going public one of the most
successful melodramas without de.
parting from every day life. The
play has been making decided
success this season and the man.
agement promises Blackfoot';
theatre goers rare treat.

sued n course of cruel and inhuman
treatment. Among other things he
has struck and abused her and cru
ely neglected her and the Children,

home for the family, and has forced
them TO live on the reservation among
the Indians. Often the plaintiff and
children nave been forced to seek aid
of other parties in order to live. For
a time they lived entirely upon the
milk from a COW, and had no other
food.
During the past four days it Is al
legged the defendant has especially
mistreated the plaintiff and frequent
ly threatened to have her adiudged
insane.
An absolute decree of divorce is
asked by the plaintiff. also the GUS
tody of all the children. Besides this
the defendant is sued for 5000 for the
temporary care of the children and
the expense of the divorce suit, and

Bourne is not content with making
man of Burke's kidney his campaign
manager, btu one of hi schief lieuten-
ants is another man of even worse
stripe, a fellow named Kyle, a rene
gade whose wife divorced him because
he embeZzled her funds and deserted
her. The divorce is matter of rec
ord in the courts at Salem and the
story of embezzlement was never
brought home to Kyle because the
mother of his two children did not
wish to add disgrace to her two grow
ing children.
Kyle collected rents for his wife,
who was II Miss Gray, of Marion
county, and a daughter of one of the
best families of that county. In
stead of placing the moneys collect
ed from the rents of his wife's prop
erty in the banks, Kyle took home
fake bank deposit slips.
When he had collected enough
money, he cleared out and Mrs. Kyle
did not discover the perfidiousness of
her husband until he disappeared and
she needed some money. When she
went to the bank she found that not
deposit had been made there by her
husband.
