development shall proceed and condi-

ANOTHER CASE REVERSED.
Supreme Court Orders a Change of
Venue in the Day Case.

Last Saturday the supreme court
in session at Buise reversed the order
of Judge Morgan of the district court
of Shoshone county, refusing to grant
a change Of venue in the famous
divorce case of Agnes Day against
Eugene Day, millionaire, and part
owner of the Hercules mine. The
supreme court lnstructs Judge Nor
gan either to call in another judge or
send the case into another district.
The Day case came up before Judge
Morgan at Wallace some months ago
and MIS-. Day demanded change of
venue on the ground that Judge Nor
gan was prejudced against her by
reason of his alleged strong political
friendship for G. w. Beale, attorney
for Mr.. Day, the defendant.
The supreme court further orders
the defendant to pay into court $500
to meet the costs of his wife in prose-
cutting the suit.

Lord PIunket's Bad Cook.

In a chapter on verbal infelicities
the author of collections and Rec
objections" relates an anecdote con-
cerning Archbishop Trench, man
of singularly vague and dreamy hab-
its, who resigned the see of Dublin
on account of advancing years and
settled in London.
He went some time after to pay
a visit to his successor, Lord Plum
ket. Finding himself back again in
his old palace, sitting at his old din
ner table and gazing across it at his
old wife, he lapsed in memory to
the days when he was master of the
house and gently remarked to Mrs.
Trench:
81 am afraid, my love, that we
must put this cook down among our
failures"
What the feelings of Lord and
Lady Plunket were on hearing this
comment history does not relate.

DUNN WINS in KOOTENAI|
Carries the County Two to One for Nomina-

JUDGE MORGAN LOSES in REPUBLICAN PRIMARIES.
Factional Fight Results in Another Victory for chas.
Hetman.

From all reports it is apparent
that the republican primary cleo
tions held throughout Kootenai
county last Monday afternoon,
give r. N. Dunn a safe majority
over Judge R. T. Morgan for the
nomination for district judge. The
supporters of Mr.. Dunn claim 10
out OF the 100 delegates elected to
the county convention, thus leav-
ing but 80 for Judge Morgan. On
Tuesday afternoon the returns in
dicated that Judge Morgan had 2o
delegates with ten delegates from
the smaller precincts in doubt.
In some of the larger precincts
the fight was hotly contested. At
C9ur d'Alene over 1900 votes
were cast, the Dunn ticket win
ming by majority of 81. 1t is said
the saloon element worked hard
for Judge Morgan, which caused
many women to vote against him.
The popularity of Mr.. Dunn also
counted heavily. Standpoint went
for Judge Morgan by large ma
jority. The county division pro-
position entered largely into the
fights both at Standpoint and Ceur
d'Alene, the delegates who were
believed to be best able to secure

division, getting the heavier sup
port.
Harrison was as one sided for
Morgan as Rathdrum was for
Dunn, only one ticket being in the
field at each Of those places. Bon.
ners Ferry went for Morgan by the
scant majority of votes and it is
believed the election in that pre-
cinct will be contested on the
ground that band Of alien Italian
laborers were illegally voted.
There is possibility that the seat
of the delegate elected for Morgan
from Valley will be contested on
the ground that the delegate is a
democrat. Athol and Post Falls
also went for Dunn. In the latter
precinct two tickets were in the
field, one man, Mr.. German being
on both tickets.
The result Of the primaries prac-
tically gives r. N. Dunn a clear
field for the nomination for dis
trict Judge. He will have a ma
jority in the county convention at

STORY OF AN OCTOPUS.
Adventure With One Of the Terrifying
Marine Monsters.

Here is true story of an octo-
pus; Two fishermen were plying
their vocation off Great Belle island,
Conception bay, off the Newfound-
land coast. Suddenly they discov-
cred at a short distance from them
a dark, shapeless mass floating on
the surface of the water. Conclud-
ing that it was probably part Of the
cargo of some wrecked vessel, they
approached it, anticipating valu-
able prize, and one Of them struck
the object with his boathook. Upon
receiving the shock the dark heap
became suddenly animated, and,
spreading out, disclosed head with
pair of large, prominent, staring
eyes, which seemed to CLEAN with
intense ferocity, the creature at the
same time exposing to view and
opening it's parrotlike beak with an
apparently hostile and malignant
purpose. The men were petrifed
with terror and for moment so
fascinated by the horrible sight that
they were powerless to make move
to defend themselves.
Before they had time to recover
their presence of mind the monster,
now but few feet from the boat,
suddenly shot out from around its
head several long, fleshy arms, Crap
pling with them for the boat and
seeking to envelop it in their folds.
Only the two longest of these arms
reached the craft and owing to their
length went completely over and be-
yond it. Selling his hatchet, with
desperate effort one of the men sue
ceeded in severing these limbs with
a single well delivered blow, and the
creature, finding itself worsted, i'm
mediately disappeared beneath the
waters, leaving in the boat its am
putated members as trophy Of the
encounter.
One of the arms was unfortu-
nately destroyed before its value
was known, but the other when
brought to st. Johns and examined
by the Rev. M. Harvey was found
to measure no less than nineteen
feet. The fisherman who acted as
surgeon declares there must have
been at least six feet more left at
tached to the monsters body. The
story is preserved in the proceedings
of the British Geological society.

CHINESE PoLlTENEss.
) 10 . Large FsF1 Of the Very Life es
the People.

If there be one thing more than
mother upon which the Chinese
pride themselves it is upon their po-
liteness. In spite of the three or
four inches which he lacks to mako
his height equal to that of the aver
age American, Chinese official in
full costume carries himself with
great dignity and self possession
and makes an imposing figure. In
this respect he owes much to his
long dress, but more to the patient
study of correct carriage. There
is not single awkward movement
as the Chinese gentleman bows his
visitor into the house or supplies
him from his own hand with a cup
Of tea, which is indispensable to an
interview. Not until his guest is
seated will the Chinese host venture
to take up his position on the right
hand Of the former, and if in the
course Of an excited conversation he
should raise himself, however slight
", from his position it is the duty
Of the other to do the same. No
Chinese gentleman will sit while his
equal stands. Occasionally, where
it is not intended TO be over respect
full to visitor, a servant will bring
in cup of tea--a cup in each hand.
Then, standing before his master
and the guest, he will cross his
arms, serving the guest, who is to
the right, with his left hand, his
master with the right. The object
of this is to expose the palm-in
Chinese the heart--of either hand
to each recipient Of the tea. 1t is
a token of fidelity and respect.
This tea is not intended for
drinking and is called guest tea, !"
1t has higher mission than to allay
thirst. Unfortunate is the man who
tosses his off before ten words have
been exchanged. The oriental will
stamp him as barbarian. The
mission of the tea is to be used by
either party as signal that the in
terview is at an end. A guest no
sooner raises the cup to his lips than
the voices of a dozen shout to his
coolies to bring his chair. So, too,
when the master Of the house is
prevented longer acting as host he
raises the cup to his lips as if to
drink the tea, and Immediately the
guests chair is called for.
Strangers meeting in China may
freely ask one another their names,
provinces and their business pros
poets. It is always considered a
compliment to an old Chinaman to
ask him his age, but the middle
aged do not as a rule care for the
question, and their answers can rare
ly be depended upon. 1t is also good
form in China to ask the number
and sex of mans children; also if
his father and mother are still alive.
His wife, however, must not be men
toned, even in the most indirect
manner. Friends meeting, either or
both in sedan chairs, stop their
bearers at once and get out with all
possible expedition. The same rule
applies to acquaintances meeting on
horseback.-New York Herald.
