BANK SHY OF FUNDS.

When a bank has slathers of money

but that is just the condition in

this city has found itself for the past

Charles Parker Successful in
Frightening His wife
lAueH|NeLY PUTS GUN TO HIS HEAD
PULLS TRIGGER JUST IN FUN
FEET.

BELIOT, Wis, Sept. 24.-Apparent-
ly in a spirit of mischief, and with a
design to brighten his wife and a
friend, Charles Parker. 25 years old
placed revolver to his head and blew
his brains out. 1t is said that he had
been drinking. He came home late
in the evening and, going to a bu-
reau, picked up a revolver which he
handled so carelessly that friend in
the room demonstrated with him.
"Why, are you afraid?" said Parker.
81 have not intention of pointing the
gun at you, so I will point it at my
SELF and, suiting the action to the
words. he placed the muzzle of the gun
beneath his ear and before his wife or
friend could interfere, the pistol was
discharged and Parker fell dead in his
wifes arms.
Parker and his wife recently came
here from Canada. His domestic re-
lations are said to have been pleasant
and no reason is known why he should
commit suicide.

Starving to Death.

Idaho Owns Some Worthless Land.

At the request of the capitol build
ing committee E. l.. Marvin, special
agent for the state land board, has
thoroughly investigated the conditions
of the lands selected in the $4,000
acre grant some years ago for the
public building purposes and he re-
ports that about 5000 acres of the land
selected shows upon examination to
be practically worthless-or nearly
fourth of the land selected The
worthless land lies in the vicinity
of Occur d'Alene river.
The report was asked for by the
commission with an idea of ascer-
tanning if there was any timber on the
land that might be sold. Mr.. Marvin
reported that there was no timber
on the land that could be sold-no
timber that was salable at any price.

Two Grim Love Letters.

WARSAW, September 24.-It has
just become known that General Ska
ceived a letter warning him that he
has been condemned to death by the
revolutionists. The circumstances of
the warning are quite interesting and
romantic. The general is on terms of
close intimacy with his chief of-staff.
Councillor Jatscheffsky. Both men are
ardent admirers of the fair sex. A few
days ago the general received a scent

Ever since the primary election An
keny leaders have been wondering
what happened over in Coppei pre-
cinct on Jasper mountain, which went
strong for the boxers while for years
past it has been considered an Ankeny
| stronghold. The reason for the sudden
| switch has just come to light &C
cording to the Waitsburg Times, which
tells the following story on Warden
KEGS and Guard Will Segraves, who
worked a shabby trick on the simple
minded mountaineers:
"a good story on Will Segraves
came to light Tuesday morning when
resident of Jasper mountain came
to Waitsburg on a semi-occasional
trip.
Twill is a guard at the state peni-
Tertiary under Warden KEGS, but he
knows all the boys on the mountain
Wnere ne formerly spent part OF MS
time. So a few days before the re-
cent republican primary election Will
was sent up there to do a little mis-
sionary work for the warden.
"This particular precinct went to
suit Warden KEGS and therefore Will
Segraves, but how it was accom-
plished only came to light the first
of the week.

fore referred to, upon reaching town
stated that he had not been down

Building Operations at GrangevilIe.
The report is again current here
that the burned district is to be re-
built. 1t has been talked Of for some
time, and the arrival yesterday OF
JOSEPH Basler of Pendleton, who has
already made substantial invest
ments il Grangcville, and who has for
some time talked of erecting a sub
stantial brick on the ground where the
fire destroyed the buildings about a
year ago, has revived the belief that
Grangeville will soon see many new
buildings. Mr.. Basler would not
make a definite statement, but it is
learned from his friends that he in
tends to consider the matter serious
ly and it is probable definite steps will
be taken before he leaves the city

ter to his chief Of staff. The writer
explained that she feared the note, If
sent direct, might fall into the hands
of some lady of addresses household.
The general, suspecting a love in
trigue, was much amused, and i'm
mediately sent for Jatscheffsky, who,
strange to say, reported having re-
ceived an exactly similar letter with
an enclosure for Gen. Skalon. The two
enclosures were then compared. They
were identical, and announced that
sentence of death had been pro-
nounced upon them both by the revo-
lutionary committee.
