He is about to start a weekly newspaper in Downey. California. He was recently re- leased from the New Mexican penitentiary, an aged and brok- en down man.
 Reavis is considered one of the most remarkable men of the age. He claimed the immense terri tory by reason of an old Spanish grant, He produced numerous documents which looked good, but his forgery was finally dis covered. His boldness was as- founding.

An aged man was run down, by No. 7 this morning about half mile east of town. He was riding on the speeder with the track walker and just came out of the curve when No. 7 came upon them. He first saw the train and gave the alarm, the track walker fell off the speeder and escaped with a few bruises, it all happened so quickly he was unable to tell whether the de- ceased attempted to get off or not. The coroner's jury em- paneled to sit on the remains could find no papers to identify the deceased, and as there was scarsely any evidence in the matter they rendered vedict that deceased came to his death by accident and exhonorated the Railway Company and engineer Reed from all blame.

What Poetry is Coming To.

At the Authors club in New York
Richard LIE Gallienne, the English poet
said one day of poetry:
'"The poet was once the mouthpiece
of the nation. Honors and wealth were
showered on him. To be poet was to
be a king.
But now the poet is nothing. He
cannot earn a living. I doubt if an in
dustrious poet, working eight hours a
day, could make one-half as much as
an Industrious brick-layer. Were it not
for advertisement poetry"
Mr. LIE Gallienne smiled.
''The other day." he said, meeting
a poet, 1 asked in low voice:
Well how is poetry now?'
Dull very dull the poet answered
gloomily. Breakfast food verse is only
bringing a quarter a line. Patent
medicine lads" have fallen to 20 cents
Fall clothing poetry has been wabbly
for a week, and canned meat verse
dropped seven points yesterday in as

He Knew Him Well.

1t was the habit of the late Richard
Henry Stoddard, the poet, always to
speak we'll of every one. No matter
how bad the character of a person, the
poet invariably found some trait to
praise. One day in his Office on Park
row, some friend entered and asked
him whether he knew SO and So, and If
so, what was the mans reputation.
It happened that the man had shady
reputation, and was well known as a
"gold-brick" operator. The aged poet
lighted his pipe and answered:
Eyes, 1 know him. He is the mos'
energetic, progressive, irrepress1ble
good -natured, artistic kind of an un-
mitigated rascal that 1 ever met

The great caves of the lower Pend
d'Oreille in Stevens county, Wash, are
attracting more and more visitors, and
the first women ever to reach the
spot and descend through the 1900 feet
of underground passages have been
added to the visitors list. These were
Mrs Franske and Mrs. Carmichael,
wives of new ranchers who have set
tied in the region, and Mrs. .Woodson
of Newport, wife of Manager Woodson
of the Pend d'Oreille River & Naviga-
ton company. 1t is a trip Of consid-
cradle hardship, chiefly owing to the
fact that no trail has been cut out
for the last half mile or so, and the
cave entrance is hidden in a mass of
fallen timber. 1t is a climb over and
through this, almost the entire way
on logs and crossed windfall. These

Three times welded, three times
deserted, the last time last Thursday
when the 1905 train pulled out from
the depot at this city, and twice di-
vorced is part of the record of Mrs.
w. L. Spayde, as told between sobs
and bushes to a Republic reporter,
Thursday noon, says the Palouse Re-
public.
The last matrimonial venture took
place in the Moscow hotel at Moscow
Wednesday evening and the honey
moon lasted little more than twelve
hours.
The groom on whom the charms of
welded life so quickly palled, is w. L.
Spayde, known here only as an en-
ploye Of Ed. Howell on his farm east
of town for six months past.
The couple, according to the story
of the deserted, but blushing bride
had known each other for about two
years and had for some time, evidently
ever since the divorce was obtained
from hubby No. 2, last May, been pre-
pairing to embark together on life's
journey.
Tuesday Spayde went to Spokane,
! where his affianced lived, and it seems
had difficulty in securing marriage
license. It was then decided to go to
Moscow, and there the marriage took
place Wednesday evening.
The 8 o'clock train Thursday morn
ing brought the pair to Palouse, where
they stopped at the st. Elmo hotel
Arrangements had been made to occu-
py house On the Ed Howell farm and
at an early hour the groom left his
bride, stating that he would walk out
and get team to haul their belong
ings out from town.

bill into the peace officers hand and
told MIN to give it to his wife and
to state that he was gone and he'd
be- id if he'd ever come back.
The chief, in company with Re-
public reporter, called on the lady at
the hotel and delivered the money and
the message. She didn't make any
startling Unconstitutional fact didn't
seem So very much surprised, it be-
ing the third time. She, however, took

LANDED ON HIS HEAD,
NOT BADLY HURT
Little Carroll Ellis of PARK Street
Fell Two Stories to the Basement
and Then CrawIed Home.

Carroll, the II years old son of En-
gene Ellis had narrow escape from
serious injury while playing with some
other boys in new house of Summer
street Saturday. The boys were play
ing on the second floor Of q. Il. Bugbees
new house when the little Ellis boy
made misstep and fell through the
chimney hole. He caught on something
in his fall which broke the shock of it
little but did not stop him from go
ing clear TO the basement, where he
struck on his head. Although badly
hurt the little fellow struggled out OF
the basement and dragged himself to
his home on Park street. When his
parents saw him dragging himself to
the house they were Of course much
frightened and became more SO when a
moment afterward he showed signs of
not knowing what lie was doing
Dr. M. f. Chandler was called and ex-
pressed fears that the boys skull was
broken. An older brother Of the injured
boy went to the place where his brother
had been playing and found out from
his playmates what had happened to
him. All day Saturday the little fell
lows mind was wandering, but at night
the doctor gave him something to quiet
him and he dropped 10 sleep. When he
awokp his mind was clear and the doc
tor was able 10 make an examination,
when ii was found that his skull was
not injured.
