Frankfort, Germany.
The following tells of the mosquito
and the alleged preference of that san
culinary insect for colors and persons:
It is stated that the mosquitoes are
strongly Influenced in choosing their
victims by the color of their clothes.
In 1S4l Spence found that a loose
ia oric of white threads kept mosgui-
toes away much more effectively than
ore of black threads. Jolly observed
in Madagascar that mosquitoes prefer
to alight ON black soil rather than on
white sandy soil, and rather on black
shoes and clothes than on white. TIE
natives o. Madagascar even suspend
pieces OF black fabric from the cell
ings of their huts in order to attract
tho mosquitoes to 1t. Jolly also found
tk&t light dogs were tormented less
by mosquitoes than black ones, ne.
groe $ more than Europeans. Similar
observations we're made in India The
Enylishmn1.. Mutual and Shipley found
tnnt Anopheles maculipennis preferred
&C lors IN this order: Dark blue, dark
rcd, brown red, black, gray. olive gray,
Violet green, light gray, pearl gray,
,ale gray, azure blue. ochre color,
White, yellow. The malaria expert,
aalli.Valerio, director Of the institute
for experimental hygiene and parasit-
ology at the University OF Lausanne,
Switzerland, confirms these facts in
his Manuel pour la lutte contre les

SHERIFF PAYS A VISIT.
Destroys Gambling Devices and
Scares the Sports.

Those who love to linger o'e1
the green cloth and court Dame
Fortune with the cards were
given a pretty bad scare Tues
day night when Sheriff Greene
appeared in the city from
Grangeville. Much to their re-
lief, however, he only proceeded
to round mp a slot machine at
Wilson's and a card table at
Gordon & Dixon's s and one at the
Elite. These were confscated
and the next morning were des-
troyed in the street in front of
Judge Holman's office and later
conveyed to the city dump.
1t was at first reported that
warrants had been issued for the
arrest of some forty persons who
had been seen trying to lure
fortune in an unlawful manner
but this report was mistake.
1t is stated, however, that the
sheriff has a large list of suspects
and may swoop down at any min
ute and pick up the unsuspecting.
1t has been positively stated that
certain persons here stand ready
to file complaints agains all
gamblers the minute sufficient
evidence can be secured on which
to convict those arrested and
this fact, together with the
scare just given, will doubtless
put an end to all games of
chance here for some time to
come.

A Close Call.

George Finney, who has been
hauling railroad ties down from
Cottonwood Butte all summer,
got mixed up in an accident on
Thursday evening of last week
that came near to proving dis
asterous. While coming down
to his camp with a load of ties he
stopped and got off to tighten
the chain which bound his load.
While on the ground his team
started and was soon running
furiously down the steep grade.
When they started he jumped
on the wagon but could not re-
cover the lines and about that
time the wagon turned over off
the grade. Finney jumped and
slipped, landing with his leg
against a stump, and the wagon
and ties, still bound together,
turned over in such a manner as
to pin his leg against the stump
in such a way that he could not
release himself. Luckily Mr..
Green heard the noise of the run
away at camp and went up to
see what was wrong. He re-
moved Finney's shoe and after
working awhile succeeded in
releasing him. Had he not been
at camp the imprisoned man
would have had to lay there all
night and perhaps much longer
before being discovered and re-
leased. AS it was he escaped
uninjured but had the wagon
come a foot or so further he
would have been crushed into a
pulp.

Not "Frenzied Finance. 4"

Thomas w. Lawson appears to
be extreme in all things. He
lost his wife a month ago and
has been inconsolable. She was
his chum and her death was a
terriable blow. After the funer-
al he had the remains removed
to a house on his estate where
he has since watched over them.
Every morning he piles flowers
high upon the casket, and he sits
there by the body during the en-
tire day. It shows another side
of Lawson's character and has
served out the story of his in
tense devotion to his wife in a
manner that will cause a great

judged him harshly. Boise

Attorney Quick
Scores Mormons
Y. s. Attorney Hands the Nor
mon Leaders a Bunch" at
Boise that Causes Consterna-
ton in Republican Ranks.

A Boise dispatch says: "a
sensation was caused in political
circles here tonight by the utter
ance of United States District
Attorney N. M. Ruick to the
Mormon leaders. He charged
the Mormon church with double
dealing and warned them that
their church must play fair, live
up fully to their agreements and
forever abandon the idea of
political control Of this state or
not a greese spot would be left
of them.
Ruick's remarks were address,
ed to Geo. G. Parkinson, Presi-
dent Jack and Apostle John
Henry Smith. He announced
that a deal with Borah must be
carried out to the letter and
charged that the Mormon church
expected to defeat Dubois at
the polls and Borah in the legis-
lature.
He said to Apostle J. H.
Smith: "You and your people
must talk fair; we will not stand
your double dealing any longer.
You know you admire Dubois,
your open enemy, more than you
admire Borah, your secret enc
my; you know Borah was defeat
ed two years ago because he was
your secret enemy and you know
he has no reason to change his
mind"
He charged that Apostle
Smith came to Boise ostensibly
as a delegate to the Irrigation
Congress, but in reality to lay
plans for political control of the
state by the Mormon church,
and announced that church con-
troll will not be tolerated any
longer.
Ruick's remarks caused great
owing to his being re-
garded by many here as being
very close to Senator Hepburn.
His bitter denunciation of the
Mormon hierarchy was a bomb
shell in the ranks of the senator's
friends. Ruick's utterances, be-
cause of his official position,
have aroused considerable feel
ing and it is rumored on the
street that further sensational
developments are likely in a day

Democratic County
Convention Net
Convened in This City Saturday
and Nominated a Strong Ticket
--Offices Well Distributed and
Give General Satisfaction.

city last Saturday was one of tn
most harmonious ever held il
the county and the ticket nomi
mated is the strongest put in tn
field for a long time. Contrar!
to the usual mode of procedur,
all parts Of the county were Civ
en- nearly equal representation
on the ticket so that no one car
say that one certain town "hog.
ged" the convention.
The convention was opened by
A. F. Parker, of Grangeville, anc
A. L. Creelman, of this place,
was nominated for temporary
chairman, with ]. A. Bradbury
as secretary. After the ap-
pointing Of the various commit
ees the convention adjourned
until one o'clock, at which time
the committees were ready to
report.
When nominations were de-
clared open George Simon, of
this place, was nominated for
state senator and unanimously
elected. James Surridge, of
Harpster, w. S. M. Williams, of
Mt. Idaho, John U. Cassell, of
Roosevelt, and P. L. O'Bannon,
of Clearwater, were placed in
nomination for state representa-
tives and a ballot was taken, re-
sulting in the election of the
three first named.

cumbent, was then nominated
by acclamation for auditor and
recorder and was greeted with
cheers by the convention.
The nomination by acclamation
of E. M. Griffith, of Grangeville,
for prosecuting attorney, ]. V.
Baker, of this place, for sheriff,
and ], V. Nash, of White Bird,
assessor, then followed in the
order named. The nomination
of a treasurer was passed and
Charles Greenough and R. F.
Fulton, both of Grangeville, were
unanimously chosen for the re-
pective offices of school superin-
tendent and probate Judge.
The chairman here declared a
recess to allow the different dis
tricts to caucus and decide on
their candidates for commission
er, which resulted in the selec-
tion of T. E. Quinlan from the
first district, George Stuber from
the second district and James
Lemon from the third district.
The nomination of E. S. Han
cock for coroner and w. C. Nc
Mutt for surveyor then followed
and after the selection of the
justices of the peace and con-
stable for each precinct and the
appointing of the precinct COM
mitteemen the convention ad-
journed, it's work being complet-
ed.
The ticket above named is a
decidedly strong one and is
satisfactory to the entire party
in this county. That it will
make a good run and turn the
landslide of two years ago into a
victory this fall is confidently
believed and looked forward to
by most of the democrats of
1QanO comfy.
Following are the resolutions
adopted by the convention:
1--WE, the Democracy of Idaho

votion to the great principles of
