GREAT PARTISAN
DIVORCE CASE.
The Trial Of the De CaStellaine Di.
VOfCe Suit Not Public.
The Count WAS A SPENDER.

Paris. France, Nov. S.-There
will be no open trial of the
divorce suit filed by Count de
Castellaine. The evidence will
be all documentary. This was
announced today. The secret
hearing prevents the names of
Count Boni's women companion S
from being made public.
The cases of the creditors who
are trying to collect claims against
Boni will be begnn at the con-
clusipn of the divorce case hear
ing. Boni's debts reach eight
hundred thousand dollars.
=, 1t developes that the count
spent eight hundred thousand
francs Which he anticipated re-
ceiving from. his. father. 1t is
declared the count will be a
pauper unless allowed allimony in
the divorce decree. His appeals
for reconciliation continued up
to the closing of the hearing.
Boni's attorney intimated in his
opening speech that they would
hold Countess Anna jointly liable
for the enormous debts of her
husband. He declared that a
million francs annually had been
given the Castellaines by the
Gould family was insufficient to
meet the household expenses,
hence Boli borrowed, with his
Wifels consent.

Double Tracking the Santa fe.

The work of double tracking
the Santa Fe main line through
Kansas is progressing as rapidly
as the supply of steel will permit.
Up to the first of September one
hundred and eighty six miles of
double track had been completed,
reaching from Kansas City to
Newton. This is all laid with the
standard eighty-fye pound rail,
and ballasted with crushed rock.
Between Chicago and Kansas City
the double track practically ex-
tends from Chicago to Coal City,
Illinois, with isolated sections the
rest of the way, at convenient in
tervals where traffic is liable to be
congested. The main line, as in.
deed are most of the branches, is
practically ballaSted from end &c
end, or where rot ballasted, as in
California and Arizona and in
southern Texas, it is sprinkled
with oil. which answers the same
purpose. Grades have beer
greatly reduced, as on the new
Belen cutoff, which has taker
l,116 feet off the height of the
continental divide. New stee
bridges, with solid masonry piers
have been built, and care has beer
taken to make the construction of
the roadway frst.class in every
particular.

Miss Bell Spencer Tells How ShO Does
II In Kansas.

Miss Bell Spencer OF Pleasan-
ton, Kans., who for six years has
successfully managed a large
stock farm near that place,
brought in today three carloads
of cattle. Miss Spencer is a
graduate of the Kansas Univer-
sity at Lawrence, has spent some

ness career. She is the daughter
of H. X. Spencer. 80 years old.
who located in Kansas AZ years

years ago and went to Lawrence,
where he still lives. Today be
accompanied his daughter to these
yards with the cattle. On the big
stock farm down in Kansas Miss
Spencer emjploys as many as Is
men at times, raises crops of
grain, and carries on a general
farming business. All this work
she gives her personal attention.
Il do not believe in doing
things by proxy" said Miss Spen.
Ger this moning. as she stocd out
at the pens looking a her cattle
after they had been yarded. Il
go out over the ranch and see thai
things are done as directed. Thai
is the only way. Ihave fount
that a woman need not lose hel
identity, or sacrifice any of th,
qualities of a lady by mingIins
with the people who work in th,
fields. A lady is always respected
when she respects herself. Will,
like my work, / would prefer t,

Santa Fe Magazine.

1t is rumored that beginning
with the first of December the
employees of the Santa Fe are to
have magazine published exclu-
Sively for the Santa Fe employees
of all departments of the COM
pany. The proposition is being
promoted by a Santa Fe employee
and the rumor is confirmed by
reliable parties at the Santa Fe
offices.
The road itself, or the officials,
have nothing to do with the pub
lication of the magazine. The
prospective publishers, although
now employed by the road, if the
plan is carried out, will resign
their positions and give their
whole time to the publication of
the magazine. 1t will be known as
the Santa Fe Employees Maga-
zine" and will be delivered gratis
to every employe. The object
being to make the advertising
cover the expense of publication.
The magazine will contain gos-
sip and things of interest among
the employees all over the system,
current railroad news and articles
on topics of interest among the
different departments of the road.
The employees of a number OF
eastern roads have similar publ.
cations which are being made 9
success. There are $4,000 en-
ployes in the various departments
of the Santa Fe system and oper.
atiug as it does 10000 miles Of
road in fourteen states and terri
tories, there is every reason to
believe that the empolyes car
have a magazine that will be moi
only interesting to themselves bu
to outsiders as we'll.

Relatives of an old miser in
Paris who died last week and was
buried Sunday. discovered after
the funeral that he had burned
$4,000 in bank notes before his
death, because he did not want the
relatives to divide the sum among
themselves. A note stated these
facts and the reason assigned for
destroying his money was that
the relatives ignored him during
his life time. 1t will, Of course,
always be a mooted question as
whether the burned money went
to the same place he did.

STILLINGER DID IT.

Six weeks ago the republicans took
from the county records an abstract
showing exactly what had been done
by the republicans during the eight
years of republican rule in Latah
county. That statement, sent broad
cast over the county, was prepared by
whom2 By County Attorney Stillin-
ger, the very man whom the reformers
have endorsed for reelection. But
Mr.. Stillinger owes no apology for that
statement. For nearly two months it
has been IN the hands OF the people
and 10 this time the opposition have
failed to disprove the facts contained
therein. Yet the county records have
been open and such men as VIM. Nor
gan, A. B. Towne, w. D. Smith, Col.
Shaver, ct al, have not discovered a
discrepancy nor pointed out a single
mistake in that statement. Now, Mr..
Voter, if the republican record is crook
ed, why have these watch dogs of your
public treasury not produced the facts?
Why have these reformers failed to
show wherein the statement issued
by the very man they have endorsed
for prosecuting attorney is not true?
If they could, think you such fine gen.
tlemen as these reform leaders are
would not have done so7 Then what
conclusion must the honest voter draw?
The News warns you now that these
reformed Office seekers are playing
dirty politics and are not worth OF con-
fidence and support.

EXHIBIT CA"

w. R. Trull, of Kendrick, is going
over the county exhibiting himself as
an evidence Of Boss Rule" in Latah
county. Mr.. Trull wants the voters
to believe him when he says he was
one of the republican delegates who
was bossed. And by his own words
implies that he did not, or rather was
prevented from voting just as he
pleased. If this is true we brand Mr..
Trull as man unworthy OF confidence,
for he virtually says he, a free
form American citizen, sent as a dele
gate to represent Kendrick in the re-
publican county convention, failed
to do his duty, and at the dictation of
some so-called boss prostituted his
manhood, debased his citizenship, and
failed to do his duty. If not, then let
Mr.. Trull name the delegate to the
Moscow convention who was bossed.
If he cannot then he stands today a
hypocrit and unworthy of serious con-
sideration. Let US mark Mr.. Trull as
Exhibit A." and demand that he
either produce just one delegate who
was bossed or stand convicted of hy-
pocracy, deceit, and untruthfulness.

A LIARS LIE.

The Independents have circulated a
comparative statement in which they
make it appear that the auditors Office
of Nez Perez county is being run a
great deal cheaper than is the same
Office under Axel P. Ramstedt. This
statement is misleading. In Latah
county a special road tax is levied and
this work is done by Auditor Ramstedt
at cost Of 100000 per year. If this
expense, which is forced upon Auditor
Ramstedt is deducted, the statement
will show balance in favor of Latah
county of about 5000 a year. But
since w. d. Smith, secretary of the
Independent movement, is the author
of the unfair, unjust, untruthful and
misleading comparison, the only
wonder is that he came even this near
the facts. Mr.. Smith has not liked
Auditor Ramstedt since that official
discovered that Smith had stolen
$4,000 from the tax payers on print
ing bill, and has sworn vengence be-
cause Auditor Ramstedt stood by the
taxpayers and refused to cover up Mr..
Smiths crookedness. Smith had per-
jured himself and today stands upon
county records purjurer and thief
Now, Mr.. Taxpayer, who are you 60
ing to believe? Who will you stand
by? Auditor Ramstedt, who refused
to cover up Smiths perjury or will
you, by your ballots, endorse
Mr.. Smith, If Smith purjered him
self for $1,000 is he entitled to your
confidence now2 False in one thing
false in all, )" is good logic in law, why
not politics? And it ought to take
something more substantial than liar S
lies to stampede Latah county voters.
