BoRAHs SPEECH.

Senator Borah's speech was a son

ed ON counsel for the defense, fierce
denunciation pouring feom bis lips,
aud at times brought protests from
Richardson and barrow, but with
blazing eyes aud hot words he sill
enced every effort to break the rush
Of words, The climax was reached
when, in behalf OF the state Of Idaho,

he dlsclaimed all intention or desire

ing with emotion, the senator raised
his arm and said:
4'If should ever Join Ia or give
approval to immunity to this man, |
hope the great God may wither my
right arm till II falls from its sock

Senator Rorah declared the state
did not want Haywood convicted Of

statement that the jurors minds had

could fairer trial been held than III
Boise. No defendant ever sat To

and just trial.

BARROW FINISHES
BORAH ARGUES
Haywood Case is Drawing to a
Close

Boise, July 90. Clarence DaFrov
continued his fnal argument last
evening. He took MP the alleged
attemps to assassinate Peabody,
Goddard and Gabbert Ia Denver, and
annoucned that he would devote most
of the afternoon to the assassination
of Steunenherg.
Before passing from the Colorado
troubles In which the federation was
involved, Attorney Darrow accused
Governor Peabody of trying to muir
der Meyer. Sherman Bell having
tried to assassInAte hsm and the
Mineowners' association OF having
had him arrested on false charges, Az
opportunity offered Darrow inveighed
against the newspapers and ''the
capitalistic class. - Leaving Denver
with Orchard, barrow followed him
through Idaho, up to Portland and
hack to the Occur d'Alenes in 1905.
Here at Wallace, Darrow again al
gued the inspiration Of the motive
for the killing Of Steunenberg In
the finding of all his old partners
In the Hercules mine rich while
Orchard himself was poor. Ignoring
entirely the argument OF Richardson
that Orchard was IN the employ o.
the Pinksrtons at the time he killet
Steunen herg, Darrow asserted that
the position Of the defess was tina
Orchards sole motive for the murder
Of Steunenberg was to pay off the OLD
Rrudge and revenge for having beef
run out nf the Occur d'Alenes an'
the loss of opportunity TO get rio

written by Pettibone to Orchard AM
received by Orchard after his arrest
in which Pettibone said that $40
had been sent to Simpkins by Hay

The brewery is an assured fact for
Occur d'Alene. For some time Earl
Sanders has. In company with Mr..
Bernard, been pushing the matter
very enthusiastically and with much
success. While the location has not
been determined, yet may places are
offered. Local people are buying
stock and the reports from Wallace
indicate that much stock lie being
placed In the Occur d'Aienes. This
will bring much money TO our city
and furnish employment for many
men.

THE DEED
IS DISCOVERED
Views of Citizens on Proposed
City Building

Now that the deed to the city lot
has been unnearthed ON account of the
agitation of the Press and will be
properly recorded there is fair pros
pect that other technical objections
may be speedily removed and the way
cleared for a vote on the bonding
question with a view to erecting a
city building, the Press is endeavor-
ing to ascertain public opinion on the
question. Our business men and cit
liens are showing much interest in
the matter and many express them
selves in the following interviews:
William Dollar. am strongly
in favor of bonding the city for $40,-
900 for a city hall for the reason it
is absolutely necessary to have a
proper and respectable place for the
council to meet and for the reason
we have no Jail to confine certain
element which must be looked after
and also for the purpose of taking
care of the fire apparatus.
A. V. Chamberlin. am in fav-
or of bonding"
James Roche.-"I think it good
idea to bond for the city hall, al
though | have not given the matter
much thought. AS a business prop
sosition think it is all right.
Alex Main.-''I am in favor OF
bonding for at present we have no
proper place to incarcerate violst-
or of the law. Also we have to pay
s37 per month rent for the present
council chambers and the proposed
building to be erected will provide q
proper Jail, a fire department, clerk
and treasurers room and a police
court room. Perhaps the Com
mercial club will want the upper
floor for $1,000 per year, which
would meet the interest on tn,
bonds.
We expect an effort will be mad,
to transfer the federal court from
Moscow to Occur d'Alene, in which
case bn9 pO11c0 COuEI rum oOuAd "
rented at advantage. This will als'
be an initiatory step towards acquir
ing the county seat by providing tenn
porary quarters for the county ottic
ers. The Press has done good worl
in looking up the title of the lot. +"
John B. Taylor.-"I am in favo
of bonding for the reason we nav
now reached town of 5000 peopl
and are without place to keep OF
file the city's records. At presen
they are moved from place to plae
without anyone knowing where the
are as was seen in the case of tn
deed and abstract of the city lot
Should the city's records be destroy
ed by fire, it would be great loss
We need a place for fire depart
ment and numerous other things. "
NJ. M. Taylor. -"I am for bond
because we need the building and tn
future generation may as we'll hel
pay for it because they will also rea
the benefit. We cannot build with

of Bessemer.

Bessemer, February 3-(Speeal)-The
city council met Tuesday night and
nulihed the contract let to Bigler & Co.
for paving 1900 yards of the streets OF
this city, on the ground that the council
was misinformed as to the speeiflca-
tons.
Something over $1,000 worth of the WORK
has been completed or is under way by
Bigler & Co.
The council agreed to relieve Mr.. Big
Ter of the contract made for 1000 barrels
of cement, and twenty-five carloads of
sand, and also to pay him for the work
which he has finished and for the time
spent on the contract. He will finish the
work already under way rather than
leave the sidewalks in their present bad
shape.
New bids will be advertised for and
opened on March 10. The next regular
meeting Of the council will be held in
March. Mr. Bigler says it will depend
entirely on the circumstances as to
whether he will bid again.
Attorney Perry read the ordinance and
stated that in view of the specifications
the letting of the contract was not legal.
1t was on this that the council based
their action.
Mayor Sullivan and others spoke on the
matter, advocating the step taken.

cording to a statement issued by the
board of directors of the institution late

of the collateral in the bank by State
Bank Commissioners Kendall and Noble,
There Is left a surplus of about $4,000
over and above the amount due to de-
positors, the actual shortage being $685., 900.
The directors believe the greater part
of the securities will be recovered.
As the bank commissioners were pre-
pairing a statement to give to the direc-
tors. Mayor George NJ. Landers sent a
letter to Governor Woodruff asking that
Commissioner Kendall be removed from
office on the ground of neglect Of duty

letter that when Mr.. Kendall began an
examination of the affairs of the bank
last Thursday, Treasurer Walker, on

"Last year, after having my little

and was so well pleased with the almost
instantaneous relief afforded that we
discarded the physicians prescription
and relied entirely on the Cuticura Soap,
Cuticura Ointment, and Cuticura Pills.
When we commenced with the Cuti-
cura Remedies her feet and limbs were
covered with running sores. In about
six weeks we had her completely well,
and there has been no recurrence OF
the trouble.
"In July Of this year little boy in
our family poisoned his hands and arms

Cuticura Remedies, washing his hands
and arms with the Cuticura Soap, and
amounting them with the Cuticura Oint-
