MISS CHAMBERLAIN Is
LOOKING AFTER FENCES

Miss Chamberlain, a charming
lady, candidate for the republican
nomination for state superintendent
of schools, was in town yesterday
looking after her political fences
not exactly ''just like little
man," but in some respects whole
lot more adroitly than the best male
campaigners could do the act.
While here she interviewed dele
gates to the county convention,
with the view to having them see
to it that the delegates to the state
convention are right. - She was
apparently we'll satisfied with the
result of these heart to heart talks.
"They all talked mighty nice
about it,, she said, and it was
deemed unnecessary to make them
give surety bonds to deliver THE
goods-as if any man could talk
otherwise to lady of pleasing ap-
pearance and gracious manners.
Mrs. Lille Wertz, the democratic
county superintendent, showed the
visiting candidate around, remark
ing, 81 could scarcely do less

though when the democratic aspir-
ant for this place arrives, Pll have
to undo it all and do it over again. -
Miss Chamberlain left on the even
ing train for Albion, Cassia county,
which she calls her home, having
been one of the first to file on
homestead in the Twin Falls tract.
She has taught in northern Idaho,
also in Ada county and is we'll
known all over the state
Until some weeks since she was
assistant state superintendent, when
some differences arose between her
and her chief, she resigned and
piece was published in the hor-
rid papers about the incident. Mrs.
A. V. Scott, of Idaho Falls, is Miss
Chamberlain's opponent for the re-
publican nomination, and is under
stood to have the ardent support of
the present incumbent, Miss Scott,
but no relation of the lady from
Idaho Falls. "A mere man fl ON
somewhere also wants the job, but
he is being given no consideration
whatever and might just as well
consider himself and his candidacy
eliminated.

according to law.
County Attorney Green was in
structcd to collect all fees from
county officials, which, according
to the recent supreme court dccis-
ion, belong to the counties instead
of to the officials. The supreme
court has since granted rehcaring
in the case. The attorney was fur
ther instructed to institute proceed
ings against the bondsmen OF
William Davis, supervisor of road
district No. a, Glenn's Ferry, for
non fulfillment of his contract,
damages due the county for his ne
glect of duty and for S71s which the
county paid another for doing his
work.
A resolution was adopted author
izing each member of the board as
health officer, the county now hav.
ing none, empowering them tC
contract debts and look after the
duties of that office. Commission
er Elliott was especially requested
to look after the one or two small
pox patients at Atlanta.
The last order recorded just befor,
sdjournmen, was perhaps the mos
important. 1t was that the auditoi
notify all road contractors that the,
must forthwith proceed to compl,
with their contracts, or else tn
county will have the necessary worl
performed and hold their bondsmeI
liable for the cost.

The Public be Damned"

On the window of the express
office, through which patrons do
business, is posted a warning,
which reads: This office closes
promptly at o'clock. Don't ask
any favors will be refused. -
This edict can be seen only when
the window is closed, and it can
be seen frequently during business
hours. Some one who recognized
that the 'favors'' mentioned
mean the precious privilege of
paying exorbitant charges TO the
express company, $40. so for a
trunk from Boise for instance, and
detecting in this the publio-be-
damned spirit that prompted the
posting of this gratutious slap in
the face, has penciled on the paper
the pertinent query: Does the
company require this ?''

Child Swallows CdrbOIiC Acid.

Monday Mrs. Tyler was using a
bottle of carbolic acid which she
keeps in cupboard. She placed
it on a table at which she was sit
ting, and while her attention was
diverted for a moment, her little
four year old son grabbed the bot
tie and swallowed a dose. The
poison had an instant effect; he
fell over, the whites of his eyes
rolled up and it looked as if death
were inevitable. Mrs. Tyler tele-
phoned at once to her husband at
his tailor shop, who summoned DR.
Nieulxirk. He arrived at the home
in fifteen minutes after the poison
was swallowed, administered an
antidote and saved the child's life.

The county commissioners ad-
journed Saturday until July 23.
After Maverick went to press last
week, several matters of Importance
were acted on by the board.
Sheriff Ross put in an application
for a leave of absence, which was
denied, on what ground the min
utes do not state. He was also
ordered to dispense with the SER
vices of Lon Lspe as deputy at At
lanta. The reason for this action is
said to be not only because he allow
ed a prisoner to escape last week,
but on account of the way in which
he has handled a small pox patient
in that camp.
II was decided that the commits
sioner districts remain unchanged,
and also all voting precincts, excep
in so far as they are affected by the
abandonment of Neal and the ere
alton of Fall Creek precinct. Reg
istrars, judges and clerks of election
were appointed.

tracts were rejected except in Dis

John Doe Proceedings

"John Doe" proceedings were abol-
ished by law in Great Britain in 1852
Previous to that time John Doe had
figured in the old fashioned ejectment
action for the recovery of the posses
sion of land, together with damages
for tie wrongful withholding thereof.
For various reasons of convenience
and history dating from the reign of
Edward III. A did not proceed against
B directly in such n case. Instead \
delivered to B an entirely false state
ment from the fictitious John Doe"
that A had devised the land to John
for term of years. and John had
been ousted from it by the equally
fictitious Richard Roe" Then Rich
ard informed B that he was not going
10 defend the action himself, but 3
must do It, and so on. Occasionally,
by way of variety, John Doe" gave
place to one "Goodtitle."

GUESTS HAVE A
NARROW ESCAPE
Flee from Peabody Hotel at
Memphis Before Walls
Cave in On Them.
DAMAGE is ABOUT $4,000
HOTEL WAS ONE OF FINEST IN
THE SOUTH-WiLL BE CLOSED
FOR TIME BEING, so REPAIRS
CAN BE MADE.
Publishers Press1

Memphis, Tenn, July 15.-Only the
fact that they were warned in time,
prevented a number of guests from
losing their lives when a side wall of
the Peabody Hotel, one of the largest
and most celebrated hostelries in the
South, fell with crash this morning
carrying twenty rooms down with it.
The building is six stories in height
and the wall fell to the kitchen and
cafe, on the ground floor, causing
damage amounting to $4,000.
Although about midnight, a few
cracklings were heard, no attention
was paid to them until later when the
floors began to settle. Then the bell
boys were summoned to arouse the
guests, and all escaped injury in a
miraculous manner.
When the walls fell panic ensued
among the guests and a number of
women tainted, but they were quickly
revived.
The Peabody is a we'll known hotel
and owned by r. B. Snowden, who
leased to lsde Brothers. 1t is said
that the authorities will now close the
hotel until repairs have been made.
Besides running the cafe. which was
one of the most exclusive in Memphis,
much baggage was buried under the
debris, and the loss to the guests can
not be estimated.
