Mr.. Mitchell and his clever company
made a decided hit last night with
The Plvnger.' Mr.. Mitchell stated
that It was produced to make the
audience laugh and 1t certainly did
\ an this and more. .Ehe big audience
was convulsed with laughter to such
a degree that many times. the scenes
were interrupted by the merriment.
Mr., Mitchell who was the Plunger
was never more happily cast than in
this great part. There was never an
incident In the entire play that thil
master OF the art did not hold his
audience to the easy emotions Of his
acting. Those who have seen Mr.
Mitchell in heavier roles were most
agreeably surprised to see him equally
~ strong in comedy and with the In
terpretation OF The Plunger this pop
ular actor has but added to his pop
ularity.
Miss Anna Marvin was exceeding
~ funny in the part Of the widow. az
also were Ed Rogers, the tramp, and

The remainder Of the company. Miss
Maxine Miles, Walter Ayres, Dwight

ment, makes up one OF the best shows

Legislation Of far-reaching import
will be enacted by the Idaho legisla-
Iture, which will convene in January.
according to a leading Boise republican
who is in a position to know party
plans. states an exchange. It Is prob
able that the session will be memor-
able one because Of the enactment Of
several very important laws.
One Of the most important questions
with which the legislature will have
to deal will be the consideration Of !
primary election law. It Is certain
that . bill providing for . primary
election law Of some kind win b IN

Of opinion as to what extent the pri-
mary idea should be carried into ef-
feet.

Eight Hour Day.

A law providing for an eight hour
day for employees In underground mines
will also be enacted. II the republicans
are true to their platform.
One Of the important and dihicult
questions with which the legislature
win have to deal win be the equaliza-
ton Of assessments. 1t 10 recognised
that the present assessment laws are
very faulty. and an effort will be made
to secure the massage of such q law as
win be impartial in its effect and will
require all interests to contribute ac-
cording to their wealth to the mainten-
ance OF the states expenses.
1t Is believed that there win be no
opposition to the bills providing for
new counties. Cassia county win be
divided ny line ~~-,ing north and
south just east of the Twin Falls tract.
Albion viii remain the county seat OF
the old county ana Twin Falls will be
made the seat Of the new county.
Kootenai county will be divided by a
line running east and west at a, point
almost directly east of Spokane. Rath-
drum will be the seat of the old county
and Standpoint of the new. II Is under
stood that after the division an effort
VIII be made TO remove the seat Of the
old county from Rathdrum to Occur

The Oregon law Il favored BY. the
more radical. but many are Of the
opinion that 1t carries the primary
idea too far. The hitch will come on
the manner Of electing United States
senators. ON other points It II thought
that there win be little DISAGREEMENT.
The biz win undoubtedly provide FOR
the nomination Of all state ana county
ofl,cea by party primaries. held In the
spring Of the year OF election.
The Oregon law provides that the
candidate for United States senator re-
ceiving the greatest vote at the pri-
maries, regardless OF party. shall be
elected by the Legislature. The I1li-
nois law. which il generally regarded
as q model. provides that the members
Of the legislature from each party shall
be pledged IS the candidate Of their
party receiving the greatest number

hands of receivers, was sold Tuesday at
auction. Wesley M. Oler. the heaviest
stakeholder and creditor of the paper,
purchased the property for $32,o He
later announced that the publication Of
the Herald, both daily and Sunday,
would be continued.
The Herald is to continue for the pres
ent under the management of Mr.. Lynn
R. Meekins. who became president and
publisher of the company on January 20
last. In the prospectus of the sale it was
stated that when Mr.. Meekins took
charge of the paper the indebtedness was
too large and much of it had been too
long overdue to make it possible TO go on
without more capital. This the stock
holders found themselves unable to agree
among themselves to supply, hence
receivership was necessary.

How well the appellation, Millionaires'
Club, applies to the United States Senate
as at present constituted is learned from
the fact that twenty.six members of that
body, less than one-half the total men,
bership of the Senate, are worth in the
aggregate $40, 700, 600. In addition to
these Senators whose wealth classes them
Enthusiastically as millionaires, there are
half dozen others whose possessions
reach nearly the 81 900. 900 mark each.
The Crnsus of the Senate. is William A.
Clarke, of Montana, who owes his cleo
ton solely to his money bags. as his
craftsmanship is of very mediocre
calibre.
How we'll the trusts and other money
interests are fortified in the Upper House
of Congress is apparent, and with these
corporate interests so strongly entrenched
in our National law.making body the
struggle to get legislation to curb the
trusts must continue to be bitter one on
the part of the people, and one which
can never be successful until majority
of the members of Congress are men Of
the masses and not of the classes as al
present.
