pal Conditions.

Meeting at the request OF Mayor Dahlman
to see II the s., ,0O0, 900 tax levy for city pur-
poses for 1907 could be cut down, the coun-
ell Saturday morning found itself without
information or knowledge upon which to
act. The situation revealed the fact that
the new democratic council had spent little
time in studying the financial affairs OF
the municipality and had made a rough
guess that as much money would be re-
quired next year as this year and let It go
at that.
Some questions by the mayor brought out
this condition of affairs distinctly and
Councilman Zimman urged that the certih-
cate be held up for few days In order that
estimates might be obtained from depart
ments ana an effort made for the council
to know what II was about. County Com
missioners Ure, Bruning and Solomon were
asked TO step over to the city hall and the
situation was explained to them. They inn
mediately agreed 10 postpone making the
levy from Saturday to Wednesday morning.
A regular council meeting will intervene
and give the mayor and council a chance
to get affairs Strengthened out.
Dunn Sees the Light.
Assistant City Attorney Dunn backed up
on his opinion that the council should
refuse to obey the school boards demand
for a 16-mill levy, and advised in direct
opposition to his previous counsel. Mr..
Dunn saw the light expounded by Presi-
dent McCague of the board and as set
forth in The Bee.
Under the arrangements the mayor will
veto the levy certificate resolution
adopted Tuesday night and a new one
will be put through the mill at the next
meeting In. the meantime the mayor is

Deiaware's Hundreds.

In the days when the Saxons domi-
mated England prior to the coming Of
William Of Normandy the people were
formed into divisions Of hundreds.
This was done mainly for military pur-
poses and the convenience Of assembly
upon the summons of the powerful
earls and barons to whom the people
owed allegiance. These hundreds usu-
ally consisted OF ten families, each
family being computed at minimum
Of ten persons. In time the families In
creased in membership, but did not
lose their individual identity or change
the designation Of organization. In
the natural order of events these hun
dreds expanded into communities and
ultimately into geographical divisions
and took on geographical designa-
tions. Some Of the American colo
nists adopted this form Of geographical
division, and thus we still have hun
dreds in Delaware and Virginia, al
though in the latter state that form OF
designation is but seldom used. But In
Delaware hundred is universally used
to describe the divisions of county
and is equivalent to the township in
other states.

HUNTING FOR CLEWs.
Detectives I'm Steunenberg Case Exert
ing Every Effort.

The Boise Statesman of this morn
ing, says in regard to the Steunenberg
murder case:
AS it was very late last night when
news was received that the Robert
son law firm of Spokane had sent
word to Harry Orchard alias Thomas
Hogan, that they would dispatch one
of their number to Caldwell to defend
! him, the great majority of the people
We're not advised of it until they rose
! this morning. That has been the
great feature of the day in the pub
| lie mind, since 1t proved so conclu-
sively that Orchard had an arrange
ment with somebody to send attorneys
to his aid II he should get into trouble
The fact that the firm is the one
which has for many years represented
the dynamite element of the Coeur
d'Alenes was accepted as conclusive
proof that persons who bore part in
bringing on the troubles of 1899 in
the Coeur d'Alenes have been con-
.nected with the plot.

standing here among the officers that
is unfortunate, there being less har-
monious cooperation than is desir-
able. Captain Swain is endeavoring

may be able to throw the least bit of
light upon the situation.
There is a piece of metal for in
stance, that fell from the governors
side. This has not been brought into
headquarters. There is another piece
upon which there is q curious design
that might be of very great value as
a means of tracing the material of
which the bomb was made. This is
also in the hands of outside parties.
1t is very necessary to get the pic
lures of Orchard into the newspa-
pers. but it has been impossible to
get them. The pictures were taken
but have not been given out.
An interesting incident of the day
was a visit paid by Detective Stewart
to Mrs. Mono, the Austrian woman
She had made some statements to
neighbor which were thought suspic-
ious and the detective went out to see
her. This is the woman who, with
her husband, was interviewed the
other day by the chief of police OF
Pocatello in connection with some let
ters coming in the envelopes of a
manufacturer of high explosives. De-
tective Stewart would make no state
ment about the results of his visit,
but Sheriff Sutherland, who accom-
panied him, informed the Statesman
representative that the neighbor had

The Last Long Sleep

Familiarity with death is apt to alter
ones earliest conceptions Of 1t. Two
ideas are very generally accepted which
experience shows to be false. One Is
that the dying usually fear death and
the other that the act of dying Is ac-
companied by pain 1t is well known
to all physicians that when death Is
near Its terrors do not seem to be felt
by the patient. Unless the Imagination
is stimulated by the frightful portrayal
Of the supposed ''pangs Of death" or Of
the sufferings which some believe the
soul must endure after dissolution It Is
rare indeed that the last days or hours
Of life are passed in dread.
Most sick persons are very, very tired.
Sleep-long, quiet sleep-is what they
want. have seen many people die. l
have never seen one who seemed to
fear death, except when 1t was or seem
ed to be rather far away. Even those
who are constantly haunted while
strong and well with a dread of the
end Of life forget their fear when that
end Is at hand.-Scrihners Magazine, -

"Gn,L FROM SWEDEN"
Quaint Comedy TO BE Seen at the Fra.
Zer on January ~.

The Tacoma Daily News says of the
Girl From Sweden" which will ap-
pear at the Frazer on January 12:
1.-The Girl From Sweden" with its
quaint comedy and thrilling scenes,
won many admirers at the Savoy
theater las might. The house was
crowded and all seemed to enjoy the
melodrama that was presented by
Fred w. Falkner and his company
Made De Long, as Hulda, the girl
from Sweden, won the hearts of all.
The part is that of an awkward but
shrewd country girl. OF the whole
company, however, Little Jim, a boy
of about IL years, won the most ap-
plause. Chung Wing. the Chinese
COOK, was responsible for much of the
comedy.
ole Anderson, also a Swede, made a
hit and proved himself not so green
as one might at first think. The plot
was similar to many others that have
been seen here. The scheming villain
nearly ruins the happiness of all the
others but is thwarted time and again
by Hulda and ole. A number of very
startling scenic effects are produced
during the presentation of the piece.
In the second scene of the second act
the villain throws Little Jim into the
sea from the window of the lighthouse
but the child is rescued by Hulda in
a rowboat. In the next act there is
shown a struggle in the woods in the
midst of a binding snowstorm which
is very realistic. In the final act
Hulda gets her ole and all ends hap

North Carolina Coal.

The subject Of North Carolina
local production has recently received
considerable attention from the Unit
ed States Geological Survey and is
treated as follows in a summary Of
the industry or 1905 made public by
the survey:
There are two areas in North Caro-
lima in which coal occurs. Both of
these are found in the trassic forma-
tion and are of the same age as the
Richmond coal basin, in Virginia. The
two areas are known as the Deep Dan
River fields, being named from two
rivers which drain them. The only
productive beds at present are those
in the Deep river district. in Chat
ham and Moore counties. For several
years practically all of the production
has been from one mine, the Cumnock
near Egypt. III Chatham county. The
output has been very irregular and
during the last three years has nota-
bly, declined. The largest production
IN recent years was in 1899, when 26.-
S96 short tons were mined.
