ACCUSE BROWN OF THEFT
Charged With Stealing $175 From
Mrs. Anna J. Marks of Tuxedo
Police Confident Have Man.

Clarence Brown, barber, was arrest
ed at 10 o'clock last night by Patrolmen
Taylor and Golding the charge of
stealing S175 from Mrs. j. Marks of the
Tuxedo rooming house on State street.
The money was stolen from a drawer in
a dresser in the room of Mrs. Marks. The
thief was evidently someone familiar with
the premises and one who was able TO
unlock the door of the room.
Suspicion first fell on Brown when it
was learned that he had paid his room
rent 10 Mrs. Marks a short time prior to
the theft and that at that time he had
seen where Mrs. Marks placed her money.
Brown rooms at the Tuxedo and the key
to his room fits the lock of the door to the
room Of Mrs. Marks. The theft occurred
about o'clock in the evening, while Mrs
Marks was in the kitchen. In addition
to the )S175 in currency stolen, there was
in the same drawer Sl5 in cashiers checks
which was not taken.
Brown denies that he took the money,
but the police say they are satisfied that
they have the right man.

KEPT OPEN SUNDAY
AND WERE ARRESTED
Especial to The Herald.)

Boise, Ida, Dec 22.-The arrest of two
salOOnmen for keeping open on Sunday
aroused much interest tolay. 1t was
thought a concerted movement might be
under way for some further attack on the
Sunday rest law But it could not be un-
derstood as Boise has a city ordinance I'M
der which saloons have been kept closed
for eighteen months.
1t does not appear, after investigation,
that the two men arrested today, William
Cornell and J. w. johnson. represent any
general movement. They were arrested
by the city authorities.

PRAISE FOR IDAHO.
Boston Educator Tells of the Rich
Gem State.

DIR. A. E. winship, who attended the
teachers meeting in Pendleton in No
vember, in an article in a recent num-
ber of the Journal of Education of
Boston, says of the state Of Idaho:
The superintendent of public in
struction. Miss Pelle Chamberlain. has
a salary of $2400, which puts to shame
many of the older states in the union,
and she is honored with many official
courtesies.
There are in Idaho 100000 acres
OF agricultural lands. 20,0oo,0o0 acres
OF grazing lands, 100000 acres Of
timber and 100000 OF mineral lands
The classification of grazing and agri-
cultural lands was made before the
provision of national aid to irriga-
tion.
The State University of Idaho at
Moscow has 2S6,0S0 acres of public
lands. The normal schools at Lewis
ton and Albion have $4,000 acres
each. The Academy of Idaho at Po-
catello has 10000 and the Industrial
school at st. Anthony 10000 acres.
These are special grants, and in addi-
ton the state has, for various school
purposes, two sections in every town.

The salaries are high from the
standpoint Of the east, but the living
Is high, and all travelling is expensive.
Rural teachers, as a rule, receive $65
a month. All towns of any consider
able size are Independent districts with
expert supervision. The county su-
perintendents are professional in
spirit and training, and are devoted to
their work. They are local educa-
tional leaders.
In the opening sentence Idaho was
styled the Iowa OF the intermountain
region. This was no mere rhetorical
phrase. Incidentally 1t may be said
that at the same association an eighth
of the teachers were from Iowa and
nearly one-half were from east of the
Mississippi. including Iowa and Mis-
souri,, which border on the Father of
Waters.

STEEL CARS FOR U. p.
Two Freight and Two Passengers Cars
Being Built.

The Union Pacific is building in its
shops at Omaha four steel cars, two
for freight, one for the passenger
service and one mail car. which are to
be used as an experiment to ascertain
the economy of these cars and their
feasibility in railroad operation, says
the Cheyenne Tribune.
1t is expected within short time
all trains on the Hartman system will
be built entirely of steel. Steel car
construction is attracting the atten-
ton of railroad managers all over the
country because of their great superb
ority over the old wooden type.
The difficulty has been that steel
cars were built along the same lines
as the old wooden cars, and this has
made them too heavy, although they
were considerable stronger. The
problem is now to develop car which
will get the additional strength from
the use of steel without piling on too
much additional weight
