Former Governor
OF Idaho Murdered


An associated press dispatch,
dated Boise, Idaho. December
81, 1906, says.
One of the most brutal muir
ders in the history Of crime was
committed when Ex-Governor
Frank Stunenberg of Idaho was
foully murdered last night at his
home in the suburbs of Caldwell.
The victim was literally torn
apart by a dynamite bomb. The
explosion rocked the town and
broke every window IN one side
of the victims home. When
help reached his side he only
said: "Who shot me? Please
lay me on my side" Then he
lapsed into unconsciousness and
Don death put an end to the
awful agony of his torn body.
While the reason for the muir
der is not known, it is believed
that his relentless prosecution OF
the criminals of the inner cir
Gle of the Couer D'Alene dyna-
miters, ," way back in 1899, some
of whom have served terms III

A reward IF IS, 900 is already
offered for the apprehension anC
conviction of the tiends who die

reward will be raised if the
criminals are not captured i'm

at the outrage and officers are
out after the guilty men.

Heavy Shows Play
Havoc With the
Sheep Men

John Hickman, the we'll known
passed through Ely
Friday with $4,000 head of sheep
belonging to the Marys Rive
Land and Cattle company en-
route to lower White River,
where the sheep will be herded
on the white sage plains during
the winter.
Very slow progress has been
made in moving the sheep from
Elko county, owing to the depth
of the snow and the extremely
cold weather, Mr.. Hickman
stated that he would feel well
pleased il he succeeded in saving
eighty per cent of the sheep in
his charge, as upwards of 1000
of the band are lambs and the
balance are in Door condition.
Some Of the sheep were left on
Eager, Randall and Buntin S
ranch, two miles east of Ely, to
be fed during the winter, as they
we're too weak to be driven
farther.

established. At present there
are twenty six miners on the pay

College Students as Thinkers.

TO promote the pursuit on the part

rheving, in North American Review.
Mathematics is a subject which de-
mands thinking. II is thinking; it is
nothing else. History may be pre-.
sented as a matter of acquisition; it
also may be presented as a matter Of
weighing evidence, as a study OF
cause and effect. Economics is a sub.

age in creating and nourishing the

MICHIGAN

The danger of an ice famine In
Washington emphasizes the fact that
great city is pitifully destitute OF
resources and is the weakest of hui
man organizations in the ability TO
look out for itself, says the Washing
ton Post 1t is dependent upon the
outside world to an extent little
dreamed of until mishap in the
complicated machinery discloses the
relationship. The food II eats and
the water it drinks must come from
in the steady process of supply causes
untold inconvenience and threatens
dangers and disease. The helpless
ness of a great city was never better
illustrated than when the earth trem-
bled few seconds under San Fran
cisco on April is last. This tremor
did comparatively small damage to
buildings. but it worked havoc by
swapping water and gas mains, cleo
trio wires and railroad tracks. In an
instant the city was deprived OF water,
food, light, transportation facilities
and means of communication. The
tremor that shut off the water set
the city on fire and burned the small
stores of food. Street railways were
paralyzed, the telephones and tele-
graphs were useless, and human be-
ings were reduced to aboriginal meth
DDS of living and locomotion. by
mere accident a single railroad track
was left so little damaged as to be
easily repaired, and by superhuman
work sufficient food was brought in
to prevent starvation. If the outside
world had not rushed to their assist
ance, the people of San Francisco
would have persisted in the midst OF
a land of running waters and flowing
with milk and honey. Such complete
wreckage OF urban facilities is rare in
history, and could only occur through
commissions of nature or warlike as
sault and siege. 1t is comparatively
easy, however for the delicate mech
anism of any city to be thrown out
of gear temporarily by reason of &C
cident or lack of foresight. This fact
should be borne in mind by those who
act as purveyors OF food, ice, water
and other necessities Of life. In pro-
viding for city they are dealing with
a monstrous, hungry, witless creature,
of enormous capacity for consumption
and absolutely without thought OF the
morrow.

A New Decision.

Attorney General Bird has decided
that person enrolled as an indie
pendent" may circulate petitions for
nomination to Office on the Republican
ticket, holding that the law cannot de-
prive any elector of the right to be-
come a candidate for Office in any
party.
A name appearing on two petitions
for the same Office should not be
counted for either party, as county
clerks should not be required to solve
the proposition of the intent of any
petitioner.
The Twenty sixth and Twenty
enth senatorial districts declared for
primary nominations, but since the
primary BenZie county, by a decision
of the supreme court, on the 1905 APP
portionment, has been transferred
from the former to the latter district
Mr.. Bird decides that this does not
affect the primary vote.
BY the same decision Arenac county
is now with Bay and Midland coun-
ties in a senatorial district. Arenac
had not declared itself for primaries,
but Bay and Midland had. That the
senator in that district should be elect
ed by the primary method, is the rul-
ing of the attorney general, inasmuch
as all the enrolled voters OF Arenac
could not overcome the majority for
the proposition in the other two cOun-
tics

Fate of Heidelberg Castle.

All Germany is now excited over
the condition of the Heidelberg castle.
For two years the question whether
the otto Heinrichs" portion of it
the handsomest section-shall or shall
not be taken down and rebuilt has
aroused all Baden to the point where
fraternal warfare seemed close at
hand. Now the matter has lost it's
local significance and become an i'm
perial issue, says the New York Post.
The newspapers everywhere have
taken sides for or against. Expert
after expert has been consulted, and
one commission of architects after the
other has had its say only TO be over
ruled or controverted. So serious has
the situation become that there is no
little danger Of the structures tum-
bling down before decision can be
reached. This is precisely what one
party wants; but even the elements
and time must not do their work with.
out official sanction. Hence there has
been an appeal to the highest tri'

kaiser is a great architect; is he not
a world-renowned poet, musician, ora

AN OLD PAINTERS IDEAS.

The autumn season is coming more
and more to be recognized as most
suitable time for housepainting. There
is no frost deep in the wood to make
trouble for even the best job of paint
ing, and the general seasoning of the
summer has put the wood into good
condition in every way. The weather.
moreover, is more likely to be settled
for the necessary length OF time To
allow all the coats to thoroughly dry,
very important precaution. An old
and successful painter said to the
writer the other day: House owners
would get more for their money II they
would allow their painters TO take
more time, especially between coats
Instead OF allowing barely time for the
surface TO get dry enough not to be
'tacky, several days weeks would
not be too much) should be allowed
so that the coat might set through
and through. 1t is inconvenient OF
course, but, If one would suffer this
slight inconvenience, 1t would add two
or three years to the life of the paint.
All this is assuming, of course, that
the paint used is the very best 70

the purest OF linseed oil unmixed with

therefore, make painting bills too fire.

should have his painter bring the in

BILE brand and linseed oil of equal quail
