Caught the Wrong Man.

A story comes from just over the
state line in Oregon which as near as
we can report, is something as follows:
A woman who suspected that her hus-
band was altogether too familiar with
the rosy-cheeked, buxom hired girl re-
solved to detect him in the act and one
evening seeing him pass quietly into
the kitchen, the jealous dame took a
few matches in her hand, threw shawl
over her head, as the servant often did,
went around the house and entered the
back door.
Immediately she was seized in the
darkness and violently embraced and
saluted with ardent kisses. She allowed
the thing to go on until she thought
the psychological moment for unmask-
ing the william had arrived, and tearing
herself from the encircling arms, struck
a match and was horrifed to find her
self face to face with the hired man. -

Fine Work.

What is perhaps the finest piece Of
hair work ever seen in this section is
now on exhibition at the Monroe hotel.
It is a hair bride made by man
named Ike Berner, now serving time
in the Deer Lodge, Mont, penitentiary
for robbery. In a letter to Mr.. Ber-
nardini the convict says that he was
drunk when the alleged crime was
committed and that he does not know
whether or not he ever committed the
offense alleged. But since he is there
he is making the best of it and says
that when released, which will be in a
few months, he will try and live life
more creditable to him. He says he
wants to get out and become a good
man once more. The bride is valued
at hundred or more dollars but Ber-
ner says in his letter that he wants a
little money and will accept whatever
Mr.. Bernardini gets for him. The
bride will be raffled off for SIS. Next
week we will print Berner's letter in

that she saved enough from the allow
ance made by relatives to pay her way
to this country. She was looking for
her children and would not believe they

Trov Ships Wood.

Since the first of the month there
have been shipped from Troy up to
Tuesday one hundred and twenty eight
cars of good wood. By tonight the
total shipments for the month Of No
vember will be in the neighborhood Of
$50 cars. This is about 1000 cords
for the month, and has brought the
magnificent sum of ten or twelve
thousand dollars. The wood business
gives employment to large number
Of men and teams during great por-
tion Of the year in and around Troy
and does much to help keep Troy
the best and busiest town in the coun-
ty. 1t will take more than twenty-five
years al the present rate to begin to
exhaust our wood business. And that
is about as long as any Of US will care
about this matter.

A Big SQUASH.

What do you tbizk Of a seventy-two
pound squash? Well, it is good one
for any country and a credit to the
Potlatch. But not impossible. The
News editor was presented with dandy
fine squash from the farm Of James
Bovencamp on the south end of Little

ports from the primary election held
Tuesday the regular Republican Or
ganization claims to have elected a
majority Of the delegates. The so

claim to have succeeded in nominating
enough state senators to handicap
Senator Hansbrough in his efforts at
reelection two years hence, and also
have named enough members Of the
legislature to secure passage this
winter Of more comprehensive pri-
mary election law, to include state Of
