placed safety before speed.

still greater delay, for Thatcher would reach
Merton just too late to gain the right of way

recall, were about ten miles apart, the old
home of Jarvis Brinton standing between the
two.
1t turned out just as Thatcher anticipated.

A GALE ON THE LAKE

Last evening the waters of lake
Occur d'Alene were ehurned into
foam by heavy gale which swept the
lake from one end TO the other and
the numerous water craft experienced
no little difficulty to make landings
at the docks. The smaller boats were
in danger Of being swamped and sew

time were we'll filled with water.
In making a landing at the electric
dock. the Steamer Idaho, Of the Red
Collr line, was In danger Of being
blown ashore and the captain gave
the backup bell. In backing out,

public division of the Spokane &
British Columbia railway, was struck
by the north bound train, near the
Mountain Lion mine, about O'Clock
yester lay afternoon. Physicians say

subject to punishment just the same
as a violation of provision of the
statutes.
When court adjourned last evening
Judge Beatty issued an order to the
effect that members of the trial jury
venire were to be kept together under
an attache of the court. AS a rule
veniremen are permitted to go
where they please except during a
session of court. When the o-der
was issued, assistant United States
District Attorney NJ. S. Johnson was
examining veniremen as to their
qualifications to try the land fraud
cases. Up to the hour of adjournment
the prosecution had examined but
FIVE of the "a men in the panel.
When the government has examined
the men the defense will have its in
ming At the present rate it will be
Wednesday before all the veniremen
will be examined. 1t is thought a
special venire will have ito be issued,
as both sides are expected to excuse
or challange a majority of the men in
the present venire. Up to o'clock
last evening the government had ex-
cused but one man for cause, j. L.
Eckert of Lewiston.
When court met yesterday after
noon Judge Beatty impaneled the
grand jury, appointing S. b Onthink

The jury was in session only few

BILLS
FOR LEGISLATURE
Some of the Measures That Will
Be introduced

include provision for state board
Of health, to have jurisdiction over
all county and city health officers.
This question has been before the
state for number Of years.
The republican platform declares
emphatically for an employers liza
bility law, and Il Is supposed that
such n law will be enacted. A bin
with provisions slmilar TO the law
enacted by the federal congress will
be introduced Its chief feature
will be q provision which will render
corporations and employers response
bic for the acts OF employees, so far as
Injury to other employees Is concern
ed, and the abandonment OF the So
called "fellow.servant law.
A law providing for an eight-hour
day for employees in underground
mines will also be enacted, II the re-
publicans are true 20 their platform.
One of the important and difficult
questions with which tho Legislature
will have to deal will be the equali-
cation Of assessments. IL Is recog-
nized that the present assessment laws
are very faulty, and an effort will be
made to secure the passage Of such d
law as will be impartial In lis effect
and will require all interests 10 COM
tribute according TO their. wealth 10
the maintenance Of the states ex-
penses.
1t IL believed that there will be mo-
opposition TO the bills providing for
new counties. Cassia county will be
divided by a line running north and
south Just east Of the Twin Falls
taact. Albion will remain the conn
ty seat Of the old county and Twin
Falls will be made the seat OF the new
county. Kootenai county will be
didvided by line running east and
west at a point almost directly east
of Spokane. Rathdrum will be the
seat Of the old county aud Standpoint
Of the new. II Is understood
that after the division an effort will
be made to remove the scat Of the
old county from Rathdrum TO Occur

GOMPERS SCORES THEM

Minneapolis, Nov. 13.-President
Samuel Gompers of the American
Federation of Labor, which opened
its 26th annual convention here yes
terday, numerically grilled the oth-
GERS of Colorado and Idaho for the
manner in which the Meyer, Hay
wood and Pettibone cases have thus
been conducted. The reading of the
annual report of the president was
listened to with keen interest, but
when that part relating to the labor
officials was read the convention
showed strong approval.
Following an address by President
Gompers, the credentials committee
presented its report. This led to a
reopening of the old controversy be-
tween the plumbers and steamhtters.
The plumbers entered a protest
against the seating of the steamfters'
delegation and will take the matter
before the executive committee.
