Meyer, Haywood and Pettibone passed
a very quiet Sunday in the Ada county

F. Nugent, who was with them for an

were not. Where they were to be re-

suspected that they were again to be

night: "Our clients will never consent
to be incorcerated again in the state

was interchangeable in his inquiries and
search for any information of the Nc
Council family, formerly residents here,
but now all dead. He finally went to
the house of one of the police at night,
his strange questions that he was in
sane, placed him under arrest.

WASHINGTON, OREGON AND IDAHO
Another Milwaukee Deal.

LEWISTON, Mont, March 2S.-On
authority that is said to be of the best
it is announced that the Milwaukee
railway has secured control of the
Montana railway. and will use a por-
ton Of this road to form a link in
the transcontinental line it is building.
through Montana is said authoritative
ly to have been decided upon. The
road will first strike Miles City and
then, running in a northwesterly di-
rection to Musselshell, will there cross
the river and take up the grade select
ed by the Montana railway survey
party and continue to about Harlow
ton. From that point the Montana
railway will be used to Lombard, the
balance of the line from Harlowton
to Lewiston being used as a branch
line. The grade from Harlowton west
will be greatly reduced, and new steel
will probably be laid. From Lom-
bard, the Milwaukee will be built on
to Butte and thence westward
Public announcement of the pur-
chase Of the Montana railway may not
be made by the railway officials for
some time, but the fact is apparently
well authenticated. The Montana rail-
way extends from Lombard to Lewis
ton, a distance Of approximately $50
miles. running through Fergus, and

VARYING Points of View.

Senator Knox has one point of view
and Senator Spooner another. Joe
Bailey, on the democratic side, who
also poses as a constitutional lawyer,
has totally different proposition
which cannot carry the united
strength of his own side of the cham
Der.
The only coherent, compact railroad
bill yet presented to the senate is that
passed by the house. 1t surely will be
amended in the senate, but it is too
early to tell just how far the changes
will go. There is no prospect of an
agreement in the immediate future,
and it is doubtful if the senate will
get down to business on this subject
until some time after May 1.
Historic Debate.
In spite Of the long delay which Is
inevitable. the discussion on the bill is
proceeding along lines which approach
a real anu pOSSlUiy q AiiSNOiAO
The lawyers of the senate have taken
up most of the time, as matter or
course. and while they have differed
from each other on material points the
debate has been extremely important
thus far in the light it has shed upon
the constitutional powers Of the gen.
eral government to regulate transport
tation companies and more particularly
on the relation between the 1eglsla-
! tive. executive and judicial branches
of the government.
Out of this debate there ought to
come a pretty good general idea as to
how far congress may go in legislation
on this subject without fear of an ad-
verse constitutional decision by the
supreme court.
Fear of Unconstitutionality.
| It is this fact of unconstitutionallty
which has led the president and other
friends of the bill to agree tentatively

to moderate court review proposition.
IL they could be assured that the bill
as 1t came from the house was strong
enough to pass through the courts
they would stand for that measure and
would fight every proposition for a
specific court review.
There is a strong suspicion abroad
here that Senator Bailey. of Texas, is
not sincere in his position. These
rumors have been circulated every
where and the story goes he has con-
trived his amendment for the express
purpose Of confusing the situation and
either beating the railroad bill entirely
or else furnishing the necessary loop
hole to enable the supreme court to de-
clare the law. when 1t finally is passed,
unconstitutional
Chock on Bailey.
So settled in this conviction are the
real friends Of the bill that Senator
Bailey is not entirely sincere that they
have insisted upon his amendment be-
ing passed in such shape that it will be
an entirely separate section. In case
it should be passed as a separate Sec
ton or an Independent paragraph not
connected directly with the matter
which preceded or followed it, it could
be upset by the supreme court with
out invalidating the whole bill.

MEANING OF SUMS ECLIPSE
Homely Illustration Serves to De-
scribe Cause and Peculiarities
of the Phenomenon.

In these days of popular astronomy
for the million, it seems scarcely nec-
esary to describe at length what a
solar eclipse means. Suffice it to say
that it is temporary blanketing of
the sun by the moon coming between
it and the earth. Both the sun and
the moon are of the same apparent
size, but at times the moon, in her
orbit. seems to be decidedly the larger,
and If then the moon passes exactly
between the earth and the sun total
solar eclipse ensues and Is visible as
such at those portions of the earth
within the shadow-track, and as par
tial eclipse along broad strip on
either side of this.
The shadow thrown on a blank
wall by any globular body held be.
tween a lighted lamp and the wall is
a simple and homely illustration Of an
eclipse. The shadow will be seen to
be much darker in the middle than at
the edges, and the former is known sci
entificalIy as the umbra, while the
lesser haze is termed the penumbra.
II the observer now so stations him.
self that his eye views the globular
body from the center Of the umbra,
the lamp is seen to be entirely hidden,
but when viewed from the penumbra
part of the lamp is visible. Such Is
precisely what happened in a solar
eclipse. For two or three minutes the
moon completely hides the sun. and
the light of the latter Is shut of from
the observers of the earth, but because
of the distance the three planets are
from one another the shadow Of the
moon is cast on only small portion
of the earth's surface. Where the
eclipse is total, or almost so, the light
enjoyed at the greatest phase, or mid
die of the eclipse, will be similar to
that of bright moonlit night.

THEIR WONDERFUL BARGAIN
It Was a Handsome Auto, But the
Cost Was Augmented by
Sundry Mishaps.

Mrs. Gunbusta came rushing into the
room breathlessly, relates the New York
Herald
Throwing her fur auto coat carelessly
on a divan and laying her grim goggles
on the Aeslian, she gasped:

chine this morning for only $685."
Bully for you'll" shouted Gunbusta,
joyously, laying down the Motor Mag
azine he had been busily engaged in
reading when his wife entered.

FRENCH WATERS THEORY.
Always Eating the Same Kind of
Bread Cause of Internal
Derangements.

81 have a theory about dyspepsia and
indigestion" said the head waiter in a
French restaurant, that think ought to
be considered by sufferers from stomach
complaints. believe that much of this
class of trouble is due to peoples per-
sistency in eating the same kind of bread
for weeks, months and sometimes
years, without a change.
Now, nobody does that with any
other kind of food; meat, for instance,
or vegetables, or fruit or other dessert
Yet the average man will eat the same
kind Of bread twice or even three times
a day and think himself wise. The stom-
ach, unuess 1t is of extraordinary consti-
tuition, will naturally get tired Of this
monotony and refuse properly to digest
this eternal bread. Then the bread eater
knows he has dyspepsia and starts on a
course of generally sticking re-
ligiously to the same old bread-that
most often leaves him in a worst plight
than ever.
There are many varieties Of bread
corn. rye, whole wheat, graham, Bos-
ton brown, aerated, barley, Vienna and
French bread. All of these differ in the
making and the material, and if the av-
erage man would only take a turn at
some of them for change from hts reg
,ular loaf he would find himself health
der and happier"

Korean Curiosity.

Oriental gardeners are adopts at
plant tricks, but one of the unique
productions of the Korean gardener is
a natural armchair, in which the re-
quired shape was attained during the
growth of the vine Almost from the
time the first tiny shoot appeared the
vine had been carefully treated in an
ticipation of the use to which 1t was
to be put. BY the time it attained it's
growth it was formed into a perfect
rustic arm chair, studded with the
seeds of the ginko tree, which had
grown into the flbres Of the wood, as
ornaments. All Of the joints were made
by grating, so that the chair is prac-
tically in one solid piece, and after 1t
had attained a growth of some three
feet it was cut and dried. When thor
oughly seasoned 1t was polished, the
wood taking finish like mahogany,
and it forms the only complete chair
grown upon the plant.
