! More Wealth in Idaho

The worlds greatest-known phosphate
beds lie in southeastern Idaho, near
Montpelier, and extend into Wyoming.
Recent Investigations show something
like $50 square miles Of phosphate fields,
richer than those Of Florida or Tennessee.
They have commenced shipping it to
California to use for a fertilizer, and a
great industry is likely to be built up in
Idaho by it.

.sThe Holy city, at the Grand

At the Grand this week there is a re.
markable production, wholly out Of the
ordinary run Of theatrical entertain
ments, solemn, impressive, beautiful.
"The Holy City" is, in brief. : story ot
Jerusalem 1t the time Of the crncifxion,
with the important features of that
tragic era reproduced by actors and
scenery. All Of the important characters
Of the Bible story are presented by per-
sons, with the exception Of the Master,
whose presence is repeatedly indicated,
but whose representation by living
person would seem sacrilege. The actors
arc wholly out Of the ordinary. It'll
not easy TO speak In the calm phrase Of
the play as . whole. These people are
actors Of the very best quality. For The
most part their names are not recognized
as artists Of former prominence; and yet
any one who secs them will instantly
concede their very high aank. Mr.. Mar
telle, Mr. Edgar Jones, MI. Piper. MI.
Gessell among the men, and Miss Alex
ander. Miss Roberts and Miss Haydsn -
they are surprisingly strong and true.
AT no place is one offended with trivial
speech or movement. There is solemn
ity that bushes the great audience and
it packed the house last night and an
- u I. ~ Alt e tx
evident workmanship on the part Of the
people engaged, 4 skill in handling
scenery and lights, which take this ef-
fort quite out d the category Or ordinary
theatricals. We can imagine no better
reward for those seeking merit ON the
stage than is afforded BY an evening atI
the Grand while aThe Holy City" is be-
ing presented.
4 It win continue until Thursday night,
With Wednesday matinee. Inter
Mountain Republican.
For the convenience Of both the pub
lie and management and in order to give
time to properly stage this great pro-
ducticn the curtain will rise promptly
at $50 and no persons win be seated
thereafter except between acts.

PROPOSE MERGER
OF WOMEN'S ASS Ms.
(Scripps News Association

(Scripps News Association)
CHICAGO, Jan. 3.-An important
proposition will be considered at
the annual meeting of the Young
Woman's Christian association,
which opened here today. 1t is
nothing less than the proposition
of forming a merger with the Wom-
ans Christian association. The
Young Woman's Christian associa-
ton was organized in 1894 as the
result of split in the mother or
ganization, the Woman's Christian
association. Since then the young
association has met with remark
able success, while the mother Or
ganization remained practically at
a standstill. 1t Is expected that
the merger of the two organiza-
tons will be of great benefit to
both associations and will enable
them to carry on their work with
greater success than heretofore.

Mob Formed Twice.
The people here say Mrs. Rig
gins Is naturally hardened, that
she is degenerate. When the
story of her alleged crime became
known, a crowd of men and boys
gathered under cover of night and
started toward the Jail. Sheriff
Roodhouse made a hasty exit from
| the jail with his prisoners and
drove to Girard, 80 miles away. In
a few weeks he returned them to
the Jail, but another mob formed.
and again his prisoners had wild
night ride across the prairies. But
the mob spirit has abated. The
states attorney says he has evi.
dence that in Vermont would send
the woman to the scaffold, but
which in Kansas means imprison-
| ment for life-if not pardoned by
the governor The girl can be
tried only in the juvenile court and
her severest punishment can be
Imprisonment until she is 81. Rig
| gins is under arrest charged with
cruelty, for which he may be sent
to prison for one year.

TWENTIETH CENTURY

No more fights will be pulled off
by the Twentieth Century Athletic
club. The club has disbanded. The
recent matches held by the club
have not been success financially,
barely expenses have been met.
Manager Jack Kerns stated yes
terday that the club Is a back num-
Der. The hall Is too small in which
to make money even If 1t were to
be crowded every night. A larger
hall than the Washington can not
be secured in Spokane, the theater
managers will not allow fights to
be pulled off In their houses, Elks
Temple cannot be rented for fights,
SO that the precen place, Washing
ton hall, Is the only one which can
be secured.
With the disbanding Of the club
the fight game Is left to the Spo-
kane Athletic club. The 8. A. A. c..
will not pull off any fights until
after the meeting this month. It
Is supposed the proposition will be
placed before the members at the
meeting and voted on.

also was no SLOUGH.
The fight took place on a barge
on the Mississippi. Killen, as the
time for the battle drew near. be-
gan to show the white feather, and
finally when the time for entering
the ring came Killen was about
sick.
Davies had bet a lot of money on
him and had a pretty good bunch
that he could win. Finally after
the fight had been delayed until
spectators wanted to fight them
selves Davies grew desperate.
Drawing a gun from his pocket, he
threatened to shoot unless Killen
would go on and do his best.
Wehn Killen saw the sight of
the gun he got cold feet in another
way and went to it. Well, that was
as great a battle between second
raters as was ever seen.
After desperate fighting, in which
both were badly used up, Killen
won with a blind swing that would
have killed a mule. Davies put his
gun back in his pocket and Killen
was hailed as the gamest man in
the northwestern country where he
belonged.
