"BUFFALO BILL" CODY.
Plans a Four-Year Tour of His Wild
West Show in "Dear Old America"

OMAHA, Neb., April 30.-Age nor
sickness, family nor business troubles,
nor yet the attractions Of a ranchman's
life in the wilds of Wyoming can tear
Buffalo Bill, famous in youth as scout
and Indian hunter, from his later ca
reer as a Snowman. During it's pres
ent European tour his Wild West show
has met with success utterly beyond
all expectations. Friends have told
him that his health, if not his life,
demand a change in his living; but he
replies that he prefers to die, if die
he must, in the harness, and that his
plans are laid for a four-year Ameri-
can tour when his European tour is
ended
In spite of the killing of hundred
of his valuable horses in France as a
result of the discovery of CHAMBERS
among them, his show has met with
remarkable success in southern Europe.

ARMY0FF|CERs WANT B|GGERcADETs
Requirements Of Height at West Point
Be Changed to Keep Out
Small Persons.

WASHINGTON, D. c., April 30
The requirements of height at West
Point for new cadets will be changed
so as to keep out of military service
boys who are understood. The mini
mum height is slightly increased, so
that candidate for cadetship must be
not less than five feet four inches at
sixteen, and not less than five feet five
inches at eighteen and upward. OF
course, the usual restrictions against
deformities and infirmities will con-
tinue to prevail. The medical board
for the examination of candidates will
be composed of three army surgeons,
one of whom will be the senior medical
officer on duty at the military acad-
envy. The new minimum standard of
height for candidates which has been
prescribed will not go into effect until
after the admission of the incoming
class. Observations during the recent
war in Manchuria are said to be re-
sponsible for this change.

Enlisted Men May Wear Medals.
WASHINGTON. D. c., April 3d.
Circulars have been issued by the war
and navy departments. authorizing the
enlisted men of the army and navy to
wear the insignia issued to them for
skill as a marksman while serving
in some other branch 1t is found that
there are soldiers and sailors who have
gained distinction in competitions on
the target and who are anxious to
wear their emblems when they enlist
in the other service. 1t is considered
that craftsmanship in either the army
or the navy should be recognized on
some identical basis in both services,
mad that the wearing of insignia be
established by a mutual arrangement
between the army and the navy. Sec
rotary Bonaparte made this suggestion
the other day, and the general staff
of the army promptly agreed to the
proposition.

with him in the Wild West show for

he writes:

stick to the show as long as he lives.
He has under construction a COM

LITTLE WOE IN DIVORCE DECISION
Lawyers Call Supreme Courts Ruling
Reiteration and Expect Very
Little Trouble.

NEW YORK, April 30.-While the
decision of the United States supreme
court in the Haddock divorce case is
the leading topic of discussion with
lawyers and divorces, it is generally
conceded by the lawyers that the de-
cision simply reiterates previous rul-
ings of the same court in the cases of
Andrews VS.. Andrews, Atherton VS..
Ttherton, and indicated in the case of
Bell VS.. Bell.
Lawyers who have made divorces a
special study expressed the opinion
that there was nothing either radical
or new in the decision.
"Well," said a prominent divorce
lawyer, what difference does it make,
after all? For years we have known
that the supreme court of the United
States has been of the opinion that
there must be a matrimonial domicile
and that all the so-called Dakota di-
vorces are voidable because OF lack of
matrimonial domicile.
II venture, however, that there will
be but few applications to void these
voidable divorce DEGREES, because in
nearly every instance the divorced de-
PENDANT was a willing party to the de-
cree-and the defendant alone has a
right to attack the validity of such a
divorce and that most of these void
able divorces will remain just where
they are. voidable, but not void

PLOT OF STANDARD OIL.
Evidence of Alleged "Freeze Out" Tao
tics Given to Commission.

CHICAGO, April 30.-Valuable in
formation regarding discrimination on
the part of railroads in favor of the
Standard Oil company has been secur-
ed by the secret agents of the inter-
state commerce commission. Much OF
it is said to have been obtained at a
conference held Thursday in Cleveland
The Evening statesman. [volume] (Walla Walla, Wash.) 1903-1910, 1906-04-30

between Independent Oil dealers and
J. T. Marchand, special attorney for
the commission.
Mr.. Marchand was in Chicago today
for the purpose of arranging for con-
tinuation of the hearing by the COM
mission in this city, The investigation
is in pursuance of joint resolution of
congress calling for it and since the
first session the agents Of the COM
mission have been exceedingly busy
gathering additional data.
Has Collision Evidence.
1t is understood that Mr. Marcharnd
was furnished evidence tending to
show collision between the Standard
Oil company and the railroads in the
matter of freight rates.
A large portion of the alleged dis
elimination is said to occur in connec-
ton with the pipe lines of the Standard
Oil company Wherever these pipe
lines run the SCdIQdTQ I'll COIIlpdlly ID
said to be able to induce the railroads
to put in exorbitant less than corload
rates from oil fields to the distributing
centers. From the distributing centers
which the Standard Oil company
reaches by its pipe lines, favorable
car rates are put in by the rail-
roads.
"Freezes" Small Dealer.
The small Independent dealer, how
ever, is unable to pay the freight rate
to the distributing centers in compe
tition with the Standard Oil company's
pipe line Even if he could get it
there he would not be in a position to
take advantage of the favorable car
load rates put in for the benefit Of the
Standard Oil company.
Evidence is also said to have been
secured tending to show that wherever
it is inimical to Standard Oil inter-
ests the railroads refuse to put in joint
tariffs and insist upon their local rates
to points of distribution.

Things have evidently quieted down
since then. 1t is not now deemed nee
stantly in the day time, nor even sc
alertly at night as heretofore. The

Men Were Happy.

When first removed to this Jail and
placed in the big cell there was great
rejoicing. The prisoners were happy
because of the change and they said so,
not once but many times. Their at
torneys proclaimed the fact that the
prisoners were much pleased with their
new quarters as compared with the
state penitentiary or the Jail Of Can
yon county.
They were brought here for safe
keeping, because, according to the
judgment of Judge Frank Smith, of
Canyon county, the Jail in Caldwell
was deemed unsafe for their detention
1t was known at that time that there
was danger, if they remained in the
Jail at Caldwell, of an attempt to free
them from confinement 1t was even
at that time deemed wise to heavily
guard the Ada county Jail, both day
and night, for the purpose of discour-
aging any attempt to liberate the three
prisoners or to Illustrate any attempt
of that kind that might possibly be
made

many of them were expert

CHAPTER XIII.
How Thirty of Josselin Encountered Thirty ploerme
A LII night the Castle of Ploermel rang with
n warlike preparations, for the smiths were
hammering and filing and riveting preparing
the armor for the champions In the stable yard
hostlers were testing and grooming the great war
horses, whilst in the chapel knights and squires
were easing their souls at the knees of old Father
Benedict
Down in the courtyard meanwhile the men-at-
arms had been assembled and the volunteers
weeded out until the best men had been selected
Black Simon had obtained place, and great was
the JOY which shone upon his grim visage With
him were chosen young Nicholas Dagsworth, a
gentleman adventurer who was nephew to the
famous Sir Thomas; Walter the German; Hulbitle
huge peasant whose massive frame gave promise
which his sluggish spirit failed to fulfil; John
Alcock; Robin Adey; and Raoul Provost These
with three others made up the required thirty.
Great was the grumbling and evil the talk amongst
the archerS when it learned that none of them
to be included; but the bow had been forbidden
either side. 1t is true that
many of them expert
fighters both with and with
