KIRKMAN WAS ON A HOT
CREDIBLE.

The Boxer members of the republic
can county central committee who
went over to the Holy Rollers in the
Croker camp last Saturday and cast
their balance of power to elect Sandy
Cameron as chairman of the commit
tee have earned the name of Holy
Jumpers The chief evangel in this
new movement is Councilman William
H. Kirkman, who opened the way by
for the restoration of certain saloon
licenses in this city in order to save
himself and his cousin, State Senator
Potts of Seattle, from the threatened
wrath to come of the powerful state
liquor league in alliance with the
Croker Stevenson machine At a
meeting of indignant Boxers yesterday
afternoon Krkman was taken bare
footed over a bed of red hot Goals be-
cause of mis- alleged apostacy to the
faith. and his frantic efforts to squirm
out of his embarra ssing position and
square himself with his long-t time po-
litical confreres We're enough to make
heather gods and wooden Indians
weep. His explanation of why .he had
gone to the aid of the inveterate enemy
of the Boxers was hardly satisfactory
camp and they went away from the
meeting still chewing gall and worm

GAVE THEIR ANNUAL CONCERT
WHITMAN GlEE CLUBS ENTER
TANNED LARGE CROWD AT
HIGH SCHOOL.

ct was good concert" was the ver-
dict on the performance of the Whit
man Glee club lads in their annual
performance last night. A comfortably
large crowd filled the high school audi
forum and they enthusiastically ap-
plauded every number on the program
Every number was good from the won--
derful violin solo of Professor Fischer
to RYE Straw" by the "Butinsky Glee
Club"
The "Butinsky Club number was
the feature of the program. 1t was a.
total surprise on the audience and
to an encore to I'VE Are Very Poor
Musicians" a dozen college boys began
hopping up all over the audience TAX
ing off their coats as they mounted on
the stage, running UP, crawling up any
way to get there. Every 'mucker' was
logged in white vest and black trous-
ers to contrast with the glee club.
Every one sang a different discord-
The audience was immensely pleased
sponded most inharmoniously in THE
Bear Went Over the Mountain
Miss Edith Merrell charmed her
audience as usual with a selection
from Emmy Lou and responded to
determined encore with the pitiful tale
of the calico Dog and the Bingham
Cat"
Mrs. Fischer sang two selections and
an encore very sweetly and of Profess
sor nothing better can be said than
that he was up to mis- usual form.
The Girls Glee club made one of the,
decided hits of the evening. 1t was
hard to tell whether they looked sweet
er than they sang of "Visy Versey'
The second part of the program with
a students room at Billings as a set
ting was good very good. The club
boys seemed to feel at home and kept
the audience laughing all the time with
their songs, funny stories and local
nits. Many of the old, old favorites
were sung so we'll that they didn't
seem old at ALL The women's right
speech by Lester Livengood was simp-
ly killing" Romeo and Juliet
brought series of laughs as usual and
the scene was fittingly closed with
the Whitman song.

DIAMOND SMUGGLERS,
Few Caught Owing to Their Ingo-
nuity In Hiding Gems.

NeAushA o"AhS ~ 1HeSO.
nuity In Hiding Gems.
Diamond smugglerS are a constant
source Of worry to u.s." said the Gus
toms house inspector. Despite every
precaution taken here and abroad to
spot them, not more than 10 per cent
are caught with the goods. There seems
to be no limit to the devilish ingenuity
employed by these-I was going to say
gentry-but there are quite as many
women in the business as men.
1T is really wonderful, when you
come to think Of it, that we are ever
able to make a good haul when you
consider how easily diamonds can be
concealed. Hollow heels are favorite
receptacle for the precious stones, and
l understand that there are places in
Europe where you can buy shoes spe.
cfally constructed with spaces in the
heels
Il remember one wOman-she Is still
In the business-who displayed great in
genuity in smuggling diamonds. It
was only by chance that we caught her
at one Of her tricks. She arrived with
a very striking Paris bonnet, which
was ornamented with punches of
grapes. While we were examining her
baggage this dream of a hat blew off
and was smashed by passing truck.
1 rushed CALAMITY to recover the hat
and then saw that each Of the grapes
contained diamond or precious stone.
She got what was left of the hat but
nothing more
what can a man Of ordinary Der.
ception do with such people? They
Will best him every time unless he's
gifted with second sight. l never see
a chap with long hair but 1 think of
the day we picked $4,000 worth of
stones from a fellows head who wore
a pompadour like a brush heap.
mo, we can't keep up with all their
tricks and don't expect to. It's the be-
havior Of the smuggler that generally
gives him away. When we see a man
or woman acting uneasy, nervous, be-
traying his or her guilt by gestures, we
have him or her searched. One gets to
know the smuggler face after a time,
and 80 captures are made."-New York
Herald.

BLOODY FIGHT OCCURRED At
THE PRISON JUTE MILL YES.
TERDAY AFTERNOON.
Convict Winters SIashes Mccain Will
Knife, lnflictins Severe Wound
in Mans Throat.

In order to stop a fight in the peni-
Tertiary jute mill yesterday afternoon
between two convicts Guard w. H.
Hussey was compelled to shoot both
bullet in his knee while Convict Nc
CAMS arm was pierced with piece of
lead.
About Ais o'clock the convicts be-
came involved in fight in one end of
the mill. Winters had slashed Nc
Cam across the throat with a sharp
knife and Mccain was striking at the
other convict with a sledgehammer
when Guard Hussey noticed the dis
turbance. He commanded the men to
STOP but they were unable to hear him
on account of the noise made by the
machinery in the mill. Hussey then
brought his gun into play and shot
both men. None of the other convicts
took part in the fifht. Both convicts
were quickly removed to the prison
hospital, where their injuries were
dressed by Prison Physician Mack.
The wound in McCan1is neck was very
severe, the slash extending from ear to
ear and missing the jugular vein by a
narrow margin. What started the fight
is not known by the prison officials.
Winters is serving his third term in
prison. He served one term in the
California prison at San Quentin, one
| term before in the Walla Walla peni-
| tertiary and was recently returned
| here from North Yakima to remain
nine years for grand larceny.
Mccain is doing a two-year term for
| burglary.
At noon today it was reported from
the penitentiary that the wounded con-
victs were getting along well and it
was the opinion of Dr. Mack that they
| would recover.

A Simple Cure.

1t Is said that John Wesley was once
walking with a brother, who related
to him his troubles, saying he did not
know what he should do. They were
at that moment passing stone wall
to a meadow, over which a cow was
looking.

that COW looks over that wall?'
NO." replied the one in trouble.
