INTIMIDATION METHODS

The candidates ON the republican
ticket and the rest of the machine
openly assert that the republican
ticket In Kootenai county cannot be
defeated because Of the influx Of new
people In this county during the
last year or 30. They claim that at
least 20 per cent Of this contingent Is
republican. They practically admit
that without 1t the machine Is doom
ed TO defeat. without II the county
would be about 500 republican and
with It they claim the majority Is too
large TO disturb the results Of the
election. They are using this argu
ment TO intimIdate the old time re-
publicana into line. They have ar
rested Hon. J. T. Scott chairman Of
the county democratic central com.
mittee on a frivolous charge, to In
timidate those who have not been
here long enough TO become informed
Of local conditions. The question

New York, Nov. 3.-The United

LAW AND ORDER
nt He Ignores Great Mormon
Issue

''Mr. Roosevelt has watched with
the closest interest the controversies
between labor and capital in your
neighboring state of Colorado and |
has been utterly out of sympathy |
with both sides in that controversy,
because each side resorted to lawless-
ness to accomplish its purpose and he
feels, as a lover of law and order |
must feel, that state officers and
heads of corporations by their viola
tions of law have brought the fair
name of Colorado as a law abiding
state into disgrace. He is hoping
and praying that no such result will
be reached in Idaho.
sit is said that injustice was done
these men in their extradition, but
the evidence was submitted to the
governor of Colorado and he had the
right under the constitution and law
of the United States to determine
whether the evidence would justify
their extradition, as he did. All the
legal steps were taken for their extra
dition. / do not intend to discuss
question of law but l leave it to
the people of Idaho to say, and to
the people generally Of the United
States, whether an executive officer
may not properly assume, until it is
decided otherwise, that man who
plans on one side of the state line,
the murder of his fellow men on the
other side of the state line, by an
agent, may not escape punishment
as principal.
"Is the law to put premium on
murder across state lines and is it to
give refuge to dynamiters because
the state line happens to intervene
between the planning and the exc
cution, and allow those who are
chiefly responsible-who, it is
charged, planned the murder-to es-
cape, because they had a geographi-
cal line between them and the actual
explosion?
"May the principal not properly
be regarded as actually fugitive
from Justice of the state in which he
committed and completed the crime,
, though he was never physically pres.
ent in the state?

 While our friend was sitting down on the floor, removing his shoes, an ecru devilfish crawled out from under the bed and began to tickle him in the ribs with it's tentacles.

 A friend of ours with whom we are intimately acquainted recently dis covered some rare animals and thereby contributed valuable data to the sum total of geological knowledge. This is all the more remarkable when you are told that he is not himself an enthusiast over zoology.
 He is merely a good fellow-one of the boys-and after he had been work ing hard at that for week or two his tastes changed from dark brown to zoology.
 The first he noticed anything wrong was one morning about o'clock upon his arrival home in a cab. He backed upstairs on his hands and knees and after some delay reached his own room. Upon lighting the gas he was some what surprised to see a Royal Gyasti- cutus resting on the head of his bed. This animal had a prehensile tail ant was covered with purple feathers. Al

 Our friends had frequently been to the circus, but had never seen anything either in the menagerie, the big tent or in the side show to compare with these specimens. He continued to see them until daylight. The room was full of creatures of the existence of which zoologists have not the faintest sus- picion.
 In speaking to the family physician the next day our friend brought up the question of these curious things he had seen. The physician seemed in no way surprised. He asked his patient if he had seen any fashiOnably checked elephant or scarlet giraffe or hairless mauve monkeys, or any thing like thta. The patient said thta these descriptions sounded familiar to him, but he could not remember for sure.
 The doctor then prescribed a rest for the man at the geological sanitarium, where facilities would be afforded to indulge in the study of bugology.

ZOOLOGY AT HOME.
Varieties That Excel in Rainbow Hues
 The Famed Okapi.

"
 The Famed Okapi.
 Captain Boyd Alexander of the Alex ander-Gosling' Expedition reports from the Angu District on the River Welle, Congo Free State, that the expedition has captured an okapi one of the rarest creatures which ever walked on four legs.
 Heretofore no white man has ever seen an okapi alive and zoologists everywhere are keenly interested in the one taken by Capt Alexander.
 An okapi is a sort of compromise be- tween a zebra, a. giraffe and a deer. It is q siraffold ruminant, having com paratively short neck and forelegs; also horns. The color of an okapi is very striking, the trunk being velvety red dish; the launches and upper parts of the legs marked with whitish stripes; the forehead vivid red and the cheeks yeIlowish white. It is about as large as a good sized deer.
