Ten thousand dollars worth of bonds
issued by the city of Baldwin, Douglas
county were registered today in the
state auditors office. The money de-
rived from their sale will be devoted TO
the construction Of a city electric light
plant. In connection with the registra-
ton of these bonds an interesting fact
developed and that was that this is the
only bonded Indebtedness charged up
against this city. There are few cities
in the state with this record.
The city council last night decided
not to assess a levy of ten dollars per
day upon the Parker Washington
company for every day overtime since
October 18th as was specified in the
original contract The work was in a
large measure delayed by circum-
stances entirely beyond the control of
the paving company and such action
on the part of the council was only
fair.

Mrs. Perry suggests that the name of
the school be changed to the Kansas

This report is profusely illustrated

ion of the Idaho supreme court lhdI the men indicted for the murder oI eN.Governor Steunenberg must stand trial. Persistent efforts have been trade by friends of the prisoners 10 secure their release and a delay of eyasperatins length has resulted from notions of defendants counsel at- tackine the validity of the arrests and extradition proceedings. These motions having all been disposed ot by the courts refusal to recognize force or merit in them, the accused will have to plead directly to the ln- dictment.
 The circumstances attending the killing of ex-Covernor Steunenbers were of the most atrocious character. and the prosecuting authorities or Itaho have a duty of first importance to perform in fixing the awful crime upon the guilty persons and impos- ing such penalties as shall vindicate the law, and they need not apologize tc any one for their action or suppose. that they will not be sustained by the American people.

"Nor GUILTY."

Just wait long enough and justice is done. Here is old King Alcohol, long accused of promoting early de- generation of the arteries and the Kidneys, and also of leading to Erights disease. Now, his majesty is cleared by Dr. William Osler who says that these things are mostly due to "too much food" Give ear, all ye gluttons! More people are killed by over-eating and drinking than by the sword" declares the wise doctor.
 Another eminent man of medicine comes to the defence of tobacco. It is quite harmless, he says. In the thousands of autopsies he has wit messed never single case of any internal organ being harmed by smoking! Chewing is unpleasant, but does no injury. The cigarette as kindly to the human system as olive oil! Dr. Hirshberg of Baltimore asserts that it is all fable, that old story of a cigar containing enough nicotine to kill two men, if taken in a pure state. Nor is tobacco a mar cotic. One drop of nicotine will not positively kill a dog, nor will the quantity of it present in a cigar kill two flies.
 To return to Dr. Osler who says something bearing on the conduct of life, subject interesting from Mon- taigne down to the much-abused phy- sician. "One of the first essentials" he says, "in securing a good-natured eQuanimity is not to expect too much of the people among whom you dwell. Tolerance keeps off nerve strain"
 Dr. Osler may rightly hope to live down the notoriety that compels him to travel incognito. He is a wise and cheerful gentleman, and the world is beginning to think better of him.

 In England the parliamentary de- lowed by the resignation of the cab. fret, the sovereign appoints pre- mier from the opposition party who forms a new ministry
 In France the process is very simi- lar, only the president acts in place of the sovereign.
 Theoretically the plan is good as ensuring harmony between the ad- nlinistrative and legislative branches Of the government. But this gain is more than lost by the weakness con- sequent upon the lack of assurance the ministry feels in regard to it's tenure of office, which feeling of per manency is necessary to carry cut well defined policy.
 In England as in France at the present time, there are not simply two parties, but four or five, so it is easy by combining to form coali- tion, to defeat a party stronger num- erically than any one or two of the others. It was this condition which overthrow the Rouier ministry at a most critical time and thus embar- 1assed the French government in it's contest with the German government fo! supremacy in Morocco.
