Is Disease a Crime =?

Not very long ago, a popular magazine
published an editorial article in which
the writer asserted, in substance, that all
disease should be regarded as criminal.
Certain IL Is, that much of the sickness
and suffering of mankind is due to the
violation of certain of Natures laws,
But to say that all sickness should be
regarded as criminal, must appeal to
every reasonable individual as radically
wrong.
10 would be harsh, unSympathetic,
cruel. yes criminal, to condemn the poor,
weak, over-worked housewife who sinks
under the heavy load of household cares
and burdens, and suffers from weak

Pierre, the maker OF that world-famed rem
edy for woman'S peculiar weaknesses and
ills-Dr. Plerce's Favorite Prescription-says
that one OF the greatest obstacles TO the cure

other went through the sleeper.
The Pullman conductor while at
tempting to arrest the man rob-
bling his passengers, was shot by
the robber through the arm. The
man then pulled the emergency

with his confederate escaped to
the woods. F. K. Bull, a million
aire, of Racine. Wis, was among
the passengers who were robbed.
The two men who held up the
train are known to the local
authorities. They had been shad-
owed here for four days, but gave
the police the slip. A Peters
burg special says they were
heavily armed and had the pas
sengers at their mercy. The
Pullman conductor, C. A. Eb-

was shot by one of the robbers,
was not dangerously hurt.

The supreme court of North

The world were better rid of
him. He himself, no matter
what the torture, would be better

ghastly and horrible deed. 1t will
be recalled that he went to his

had earned reward-and that
the reward was the gallows.
His attorneys took the case to
the Supreme Court on a technical
point. a point that was purely
technical and In no way denied
the fact that he was guilty Of a:
black crime as hell could pic

Of the higher court was pending

JOHN HODGE TO HANG FEBRUARY 8

AS matters now stand Dur
ham will begin with what rail-
road men would call a double
header" by having two hangings
at once and on the same day.
There is some objection by some
people to hanging a white man
and negro on the same day and
on the same ScatfOld, but so far
as We can see if we were the
man that had to be hanged we
do not know as we would be
choice about how they treated
the other fellow that was to
share a like fate.

accidents to mar the happiness
of some, but they were fewer

1T is not hard to find many
men that say without much per-
suasion that Durham should
have a hanging. but when it
comes to finding the material to
work on, it is another matter.

dant was resentenced to die.
Hodges day of execution ha:
been named, the same as that or
which Freeman Jones, the negro
is to die. As the matter now
appears both men will probably
hang from the same scaffold,
That is not official from Sheriff
Markham or any of his men but
it is a fact that both Hodges and
the negro have been sentenced
to be executed on the same day
in this county.
THE HODGES CRIME.
The Hodges crime was one OF
the blacklist that was ever COM
mitted in this state-at least so
far as the records of which the
writer are familiar show. He
had trouble with his wife and
| then left her; in the meantime
the wife started proceedings for
a divorce. For sometime Hodges
and his wife had been living
apart, she living in West Dur
ham and he in Edgemont.
On Saturday night, February
"a, Hodges went to the home of
his wife in West Durham. She
was dragged from her bed near
the midnight hour and was shot
to death. How he entered the
roomhas never been made known.
He was in the room when he was
first discovered.
Speaking to his wife he said
that he had been treated like a
dog and she demonstrated with
him. He jerked her from the
bed, according to all evidence,
and then shot her to death,
throwing her body to the hearth
of the Fireplace.
His arrest followed and three
times he confessed to the crime.
Then came the trial, the convic-
ton, the appeal to the supreme
court and the long wait until that
court convened and reached the
case. The court affirmed the de-
cision Of the lower court and now
the,governor has renamed the
day on which Hodges shall be
executed.
The attorneys for the con-
demned man have been waiting
to get money from the relatives
and other interested parties to
take the case to the supreme
court of the United States on a
writ of error. If anything has
been done in regard to this mat
ter there is nothing showing
about it. Itlooks as if Hodges
and the negro will die on the
same day.
THE FREEMAN JONES CASE.
1t was in June last year that
Freeman Jones wasarrested. He
was arrested soon after the home
of Mrs. Jack Barker, of East Dur
ham. had been entered, this being
late one night. The evidence
against Jones was very strong
so strong, in fact, that he did no
90 on the stand to rebut anything
that was said. Twice he ha.
been given a stay of execution
The second date on which he ha
been sentenced to hang is Oh
February s.
The respites were given By tn
governor in order that he nigh
get all the facts in the case
There is no doubt but that tn
evidence is dead against tn
negro and he has not a shadot

point.

LITTLE DAMAGE BY STORM.
Was Beneficial from waIIa WaIla
NOrthwartl,


Probably the largest rainstorm that
has visited the northwest in several
months came Saturday night and Sun
day morning, and although it fright
ened people at the time, later devel-
opments show little damage in this
county, says the Walla walla Bulle-
tin.
AS far as could be learned this
morning the damage to crops was
very light, as only the grain which
Is still standing was harmed, and that
very little. In walla Walla county
It is claimed that practically all Of the
wheat is harvested, but a large
amount of it is still in the fields,
sacked, This is not harmed In the
least, and the only effect 1t will have
upon 1t is to incite the owners to get
it into the warehouses sooner than
they would have done under ordi-
nary circumstances.
The rain came at Just the right
time for the farmers In this section
of the country and most of them had
their grain out of harms way. In
the Palouse country the damake was
the Palouse country the damage was
aged grain and fruit.
The only real damage caused by the
rain that could be discovered today
was to the main line of the Northern
Pacific railroad between Connell and
Hatton. At this place there are sew
eral small washOuts hut II is c1aimed
that there are no bridges damaged.

Through the unexpected refusal of
Prof. A. l. Briggs to accept the prin-
cipalship of She high school the
school board has once more been
thrown without a head for that insti-
tuition. A letter stating that he could
not accept the position rendered him
here was received from Prof. Briggs

But week or more ago Mr.. Briggs
he has been rendered positions in the

and also in the one at Ashland. He
will accept one Of these.
But a week or more ago Prof. Biggs
applied for the princinslship of the
high school, and in telegraphic
message stated he would accept II
chosen to the position. However, he
had never signed a formal contract
with the board.
Thus TAR no one has been chosen
to fill the principalship, but 1t is un-
derstood that selection will be made
shortly. Aside from Prof. Briggs there
were several other candidates for the
position when II was rendered him,
and 1t Is probable that the place will
be filled by one OF that number.

SALOON LICENSE DENIED.
Lumber Company and School Patrons
Objected.

The Coeur d'Alene Press saws:
The Belgrove saloon license was de-
MED today by Judge w. w. Woods.
This was made test case under the
new law which permits the county
commissioners to act at their discre-
ton in the granting of saloon IL
censes.
The evidence showed that there
was a school house across the road
from the saloon which caused the
patrons of the school to object to the
saloon and that the B. R. Lewis Lum-
per company had their lumber camp
NO. In that locality, the company
claiming that the saloon was a mem
ace to the well being of the company's
property.
Judge Woods affirmed the COM
missioners and stated in addition that
saloon license to anyone in the
woods or to individuals in outlying
districts away from the police pro-
lection. The latter is far reaching
the lawyers claim, inasmuch as It
practically means IL the commission
ers so desire no licenses can be OBJ
tanned in the unincorporated towns
and settlements throughout the en-
tire county. In other words liquor
traffic in Idaho must be confined to
towns and cities with police protec-
ton.
The character Of the applicant for
the saloon license was not attacked
or considered. The saloon man is
considering the advisability of an ap-
peal to the state supreme court.

Bladder troubles almost always result
from arrangement of the kidneys and
cure is obtained quickest by proper
treatment of the kidneys. If you are feel

1t stands the highest for its wonderful
cures of the most distressing cases.
Swamp-Root is pleasant to take and Is
