BOOZE FIGHTER BILL" IS IN II
BUILT A ROARING FIRE THAT
CLEARED OUT THE
CAMP.

BOISE. Aug. 1O-Owing to the care
in and befriended, A. Jenkins, one OF
the best known men on the upper Boise
is today mourning the loss OF large
portion of all that he possesses. The
story of how he helped the man to
was brought down by couple of men
who came from the camp of Contract
or Charles Story, who is engaged in
completing the road, under the super
vision of Engineer Darlington, of the
road from Boise up the river to At
lanta and the Black Warrior
Some weeks ago, so the story runs.
Bill Wilson, better known as "Boose
Fighter Bill" reached that camp In
practically a penniless condition. He
had no bedding and no clothes but
those he had upon his back. But Jen-
kins had tent all to himself, and per-
est set of bedding in the entire party
engaged in the road work. And Jen-
kins took pity on the destitute strang-
er. and gave him accommodations that
were the envy of all the roadmakers.
All went we'll till the middle of last
week, when Wilson, care free and
happy. built a roaring fire just outside
the tent and left it at night to eat it's
of the tent When that caught fire
there was nothing to do but to let it
burn and with it were destroyed Jen-
kins' nearly new outfit of fine blankets
and bedding, all his extra clothing, and
also some valuable papers that he had
stored there All that was saved was
a nearly new $40 saddle.
But the flames were not content
when they licked up the remnants of
Jenkins tent and outfit, but swept
across the trail into the timber, where
they burned fiercely. For two days
and a night the entire roadmaking out
f1t-except the care free Wilson, who
refused to fight the fire-was obliged to
get out and combat the flames as best
they might.

It was shown that their relations were
purely platonic. Mrs. London obtained
divorce from her husband, and he
afterward married, not Miss Strunsky,
but another California girl. Miss Char
mion Kittredge. Miss Strunsky went
to Russia to study the revolutionary
movement, and there she met a young
physician, DR.. Willoughby Walling, q
grandson Of the late William II. Eng
lish, who ran for vice president on the
Democratic ticket in 1880. He has
been settlement worker and, though
q man of large fortune, has sOcialistic
views. He and Miss Strunsky fell In
love and will soon be married.

TREAT LEPROSY WITH X RAY
Army Officers Get Interesting Re-
port From Philippines.
TREATMENT PROVES SUCCESSFUL
TWO CASES REPORTED SHOW
DISEASE HAS ENTIRELY
DISAPPEARED.
TREATMENT PROVES SUCCESSFUL
WASHINGTON,

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1O.-The
army surgeons who are interested in
the treatment of leprosy have some
significant reports from the Philip
pines, where especial consideration is
being given the treatment of the dis
ease by the X-ray. Two cases of lep-
rosy, the diagnosis of which had been
confirmed microscopically by the ply
skcian i'm charge of the San Lazare hos
pitfalls and independently by the bureau
of government laboratories were treat
ed by the X-ray for several months,
at the end of which time they were
again examined by the same observers
but no leprosy bacilli could be found
The infiltrations into the tissues and
other symptoms have almost disap-
peared.
Sufficient time has not yet elapsed to
arrive at any definite conclusion with
regard to the permanency of the appar-
ent cures, and 1t IS not deemed adV1S-
able to discuss the subject further I'M
til the cases have been under observa-
ton for a longer time. However, if
this treatment should prove successful,
it's far-reaching consequences can
scarcely be appreciated as yet. A lep-
er colony has been established in the
island of Cullon. The place has been
purchased, and satisfactory title Sc
cured, all old houses have been repair
ed, many new ones built, roads con-
structed, double fences of barbed wire
placed between the village and the
mainland, and the church has been put
in habitable condition. Through the
charity of a woman in New York a
cross and bell were obtained for the
church. The buildings now completed
at Culion would accommodate 900 lep-
ers comfortably, and enough buildings
might be added practically to double
this number.

OF INTEREST TO LOVERS.

New York Globe.-Nothing is too
sacred nowadays to be hauled into the
limelight of the modern Forum-that
is, the newspapers. Everything from
the removal of superfuous hair to how
to win husband is discussed by high
ly paid experts in the daily press. Love
making of the most delicate and slop-
py nature is analysed in broad day
than those of Ovid placed within
reach of the humblest among us for
the Insignificant consideration of

How long love making has been as
ISOLATED with winlking, and why it
ever was thus associated, are ques-
lions unanswered in dictionary or any
other reference book we have been
able to locate. There is nothing in
herently amorous or even affectionate
about the wink. COW or cat can
wink till her eyelids are tired and no
one sees anything coy in the process,
But, let young man or maiden, or
any man-made thing, wink, and i'm.
agination runs riot with the hidden
depths of 1--we thus indicated. To the
student of human customs this is q
very curious phenomenon. Science
indeed, is quite at a loss when con
fronted with the fact, absurd, but none
the less uncontrovertible-th fir
tation without one or several winks
imbedded in it somewhere lacks the
true spice of adventure.
I Although science can not explain
the eloquence of the wink, she never
theless has good sense enough to ad
nit the fact and order her conduct

NO MENTION OF TARIFF.

In all of the columns of the message
Of President Roosevelt there is no
mention of the tariff except as it re-
lates to the Philippine islands. This
is something extraordinary, the rule
of presidents for years having been
to make observations Of conditions
and comment thereon inasmuch as
they related to the tariff law in effect.
President Roosevelt has heretofore
done this himself.
There was no little curiosity as to
what the message might say on this
subject, for while his letter to Con
gresham Watson upon the opening Of
the campaign was in no uncertain
terms and with no expression of favor
toward immediate revision, certain
Washington correspondents have for
months been telling the people that
Roosevelt would probably favor it in
lis message. They have been persist
ent in their claims upon Roosevelt
as revisionist for three or four years
and as often as he speaks he disap.
points them. They take a new lease
on life, however, in the fact that the
tariff was not mentioned at all, and
say that it is probable that he will
make it the subject of special mes
sage. There may be ground for this
belief, but in the matter Of the
Panama canal the President
refers to it in his message and informs
the congress that he will give further
attention to it in a special document
to be placed in their hands.
d At present there is no particular
reason to believe that the President
has changed his views, for as his last
message riscloses nothing. his last ut
terance on the question remains il
the letter to Congressman Watson.

some Of it's colonial possessions, strong
ly urging tariff concessions, if not free
trade with the Philippines. This he
based on the ground that the United
States cannot afford to discriminate
against it's own possessions, but can,
on tae other hand, afford to favor
them.
But of the general subject of tariff
revision there is no mention. The
Presidents omission may be taken as
another evidence of the fact that he
has no desire to have the subject of
general tariff revision undertaken dur
ing his present term as President The
President has frequently expressed
himself to that effect in semi-official
conversations. He has admitted that
there are inequalities in the tariff, but
after any revision that might be sug-
gested such inequalities would, in all
probabilities, still remain In the tariff.
| II those Inequalities could be removed
the President would be glad to see it
done. But the undertaking is of such
a precarious nature that he has not
been inclined to urge it upon congress
President Roosevelt's position on
this subject is one of great Importance
Whatever may be his own views he
has not been induced to regard it as
a wise thing to open up the subject al
the present time. 1t will be said that
he will later in the year send a specia
message to congress upon this subject
but that is mere conjecture. The
chances are he will not do So Every
other subject that he wants considered
by the present congress he has laid be
fore the members with much explicit
ness and at considerable length.
