not appearing last Saturday night.
AS the train bearing the company
was speeding on its way from
Twin Falls, Marie Del Vechio, who
so cleverly handled the important
role of the mother-in-law, fell
asleep in her seat, and when she
awoke was Mortified to learn that
Mountsin Home was six miles away
in the wrong direction-with no
prospect of getting a train at Nam
pa coming this way. Luckily, how
ever, she barely caught a way
freight and arrived here in plenty
of time to secure a much needed
rest after her exciting adventures.
Her absence had not been noted by
any member of the company,
which simply goes to show how
thoroughly theatrical people disre-
gard the element of chance in their
tn ;incss.

Brother Ethel nearly threw
fit, judging from his remarks in
this weeks Republican concerning
the Welborn matter. 1t seems Mr..
Ethel has taken the matter far
more seriously than Rev. Welborn.
He says the attack upon Rev. We'll
born was undoubtedly inspirde. "
So it was-not only inspired, but
written by Mr.. Garrett himself and
handed to us for publication. No
doubt Mr.. Garrett wrote the article
in a moment of anger, and if he
had thought twice before he said
what he did-he would not have
said it. In fact, in discussing the
matter with us after Rev. Wclborn
had been in, he said he was sorry
he had said anything at all. Mr.
Garrett did not mean to assail the
character of Rev. Welborn-he only
censured him for knocking the
country. This the gentleman did,
as he has repeatedly stated on the
streets this week that he has
knocked and proposes to continue
knocking, but now Reverend Ethel,
Manager, etc, of the Republican,
makes a great ado about it and
would leave the impression that we
have said Rev. Welborn was every
thing he should not be. Its no use
overdrawing facts, or making a
mountain out of mole hill.

TALK OF THE Town

Percy Patching went to his
home at Bottineau, N. D., to visit
awhile with relatives and friends.
c. E. Hayward of Garden City,
South Dakota, who has been max
ing tour of the irrigated districts
of Utah and Colorado, stopped off
here this week to look the situa-
tion over and incidentally visit his
friend w. H. Dudley. He says that
this country looks better to him
than anything that he has yet en-
countered in his travels.
c. j. Griffith, of the firm of
Dudley & Griffith, who has been
conducting party of prospective
land buyers from Michigan over
the Great Western Beet Sugar COM
pany's reservoir and canal system,
returned last night and reports
things in excellent condition at
Little Camas and Long Tom, the
former needing only ten more feet
of water to completely fill it, and
the latter only four feet, and the
snow in the mountains scarcely
commencing to melt as yet.

A Worthy Cause.

A couple of charitably disposed
ladies on Saturday learned that a
case of genuine distress existed in
this city, and upon investigation
found tht the family of M. A Isascs,
who were living in a shack located
on the lot between Helfrich's store
and the South Idaho Herald office,
was in critical circumstances.
The family consists of the father
and mother and three children,
two girls and boy. MIR. Isaacs is
suffering from a disease known as
tuberculosis of the flesh and bones,
and until six weeks ago was con-
tined in hospital at Spokane,
Wash, but the doctorslthere said he
was incurable and that the only
thing left for him was to spend all
the time possible in the open air
and sunlight, and patiently await
the end. He is entirely debarred
from working and can do nothing
to ward helping to support the
family. Mrs. Isaacs is a frail little
woman, not physically fitted for
the unequal struggle with poverty
and sickness. In her efforts to keep
the wolf from the door she goes out
doing washing and other work
which would test the endurance of a

Monday afternoon, as Walter
Hilborn, who had delivered load
of hay at the Kunnecke slaughter
house, was about to start on his re-
turn trip to town a flock of buzz
yards arose suddenly in front of the
four-horse team he was driving and
frightened them so that they ran
away MIR. Hilborn retained pos
session of the lines, but lost con-
4 troll of the team, and as they were
passing the James O'Neill home
unavoidably collided with buggy
containing Mrs. M. NJ. King and
cauhgter and niece. The niece saw
the danger and jumped, but Mrs.
+ ing and daug ter were thrown out
{ nd received severe shaking up,
luckily escaping more sci ious in
Jury. The buggy was considerably
damaged, but MIR. Hilborn and the
horses escaped unscathed.
The quickest, surest, neatest,
easiest and most effective way to
stop chimney fire is to take q
large wet cloth and wind it around
the stovepipe just above the stove.
The moisture from the cloth forms
a cloud in the pipe which rises,
snothers the fire in the chimney
almost at once. This method has
proven effective in the case of fire
so fierce that the stove pipe all the
ney vas red hot and was never
known to fail. The scheme was
worked out by the fire department
OF Appleton from a pointer received
in a casual observation and is now
in use in the Appleton, Minnesota,
fire department to the exclusion oil
other methods. The chief beauty
! of the plan is its simplicity anc
, ease with which it can be usec
, by anyone. Simply saturate {

: where it is hot, the hotter the bet
ter, and the steam generated by
this inside will do the rest.

1t is stated that, during the next
two years, palaces will be erected
in Millionaire row in New York
that will cost $40, 900, 600. One
of them will be built by Henry c.
Prick at a cost of five millions
That one house viii represent an
expenditure equal TO one-siNteenth
of the entire assessed valuation of
this state, while the entire group
of new palaces will cost one-fourth
as much as the amount of our
assessment. When people get to
talking and building in millions
they get beyond the comprehension
of ordinary persons, but when it is
proposed to build a half a dozen
private houses costing one-fourth
as much as the assessed valua-
tion of state as rich as this, one
can begin to grasp the lavishness OF
the expenditure. Just think of TAX

Congress seems to be moving in
the matter of arranging for leasing
of the public ranges. Such pro-
gram would have raised an outcry a
few years ago, but the public has
come to a realization of the neces-
sity for control of all the public
lands, and a sentiment has devel-
oped in favor of charging those
who use them and exercising
proper control over them SO they
shall not be destr Dyed by overstock-
ing. 1t is a rather knotty problem
that congress is called upon to solve,
but a way can be found TO carry
out the idea that will be just to
all interests and afford particular
protection to the settler who has a
small herd Statesman.

A Sunday rest law that will not
in some way interfere with personal
liberty cannot be conceived or en-
acted. Those who would abolish
all outdoor sports and healthful rec
reations on the Sabbath are just as
bigotcd and foolish as those who in
sist that the preacher labors on the
Sabbath day and ought to be made
to desist. To the man and woman
who is by necessity compelled to
labor strenuously six days a week,
a few hours in the open air, wheth-
er it be on foot tramping over the
hills and through the woods, or
breathing deep, health-giving
draughts of ozone at o baseball
game, is welcome change. Those
who claim that the devotces OF out
door sports are interfering with
their rights to spend the Sabbath
in peace and quiet should remem-
Der that they are themselves just
as unressonably interfering with
others rights to spend the only day
in the week at their dispoasl in
the manner best suited to their
needs.

A Family Row.

Peter Glassman, the eccentric
German character who has occupied
tent near the Kunnecke slaughter
house for some time past is seen
no more around his familiar
haunts. 1t seems that the flood of
last week invaded his domicile to
the depth of about foot and a half.
AS it did not recede fast enough
to suit him, he became possessed
of one of those uncomfortable fits
Mr.. Kunnecke had occasion to visit
the slaughter house a few days after
the deluge and discovered the old
gentleman in a towering rage.
With an ak he was cutting the tent
into shrcds, reducing his few house,
hold effects to splinters and belabor-
ing inoffcnsivc pans pots and kct-
ties with vim and vigor worthy
of a better cause. The running
stream of comment accompanying
these performances, Mr.. Kunnccke
says, was very picturesque but
hardly fit for publication. After
he had completed his task of de-
struction he surveyed his work
with apparent satisfaction and tri-
umphantly exclaimed: Deere! l
will show you who is boss of dis
tent alretty, yet!' Shortly after
the occurrence of this domestic
tradgedy MIR. Glassman left for
Nampa, where he is now located.

January Rainfall.

In the mountainous regions of the
state the precipitation for January
was generally ABOVE the normal,
and this excess extended in some
instances to the valley sections.
The excess was most marked in
the northern and extreme south
eastern parts of the state. A
feature of the precipitation of the
month was the occurrence of some
unusually heavy rains, following
heavy SHOWS. In nearly all parts
OF the state the supply of snow on
the ground at the close of the
month was reported to be average
or greater, and, most correspond
ents report the snow wet and COM
pact, and the soil well saturated
with water. The heavy rains in
some sections have filled the snow
so full of water that a Slight fall in
temperature would serve to trans
form it into solid ice. The pros
pect for an abundant supply of
water for irrigation and mining
operations during the coming season
is very bright. In some parts of
the drainage areas of the Clear
water river, and the numerous
streams of northern Idaho that are
tributary to the Columbia river the
snow has accumulated to such
depths that should sudden melting
occur, fears of floods are enter
tanned. Weather Bureau Report.

all that has transpired since 1898

And yet there are lot of sentiment
tai idiots who insist that the Gu
bans are capable of clf-government.
General Castillo's idea of freedom
is to be permitted to keep the island
in perpetual turmoil of revolution.
Give every patriot a chance at the
presidency, says he-not by way of
the slow and unromantic ballot box,
but by the vastly more uncertain
and exciting method of insurrection.
The government is increasing the
rural guard, and this makes the
business of the professional revo-
lutionist very unhealthy-hence the
rambunctious Castillo's bombastic
protest.

A crack-brained German profess
or has expressed the belief that the
time is not far away when Catho-
lies and Protestants will unite. Oil
and water will mix more readily
than these two great factions of the
Christian religion. However de-
sirable such a state of affairs might
be, it is safe to say that the men
and women now living will pass
into the great beyond without even
a glimmer of hope that it will ever
be made possible. When we re-
alize that the numerous denomina-
tions within the Protestant church
are unalterably split upon the most
trivial questions of creed and doc
trine exceedingly foolish and
trivial when compared with the
real aim of religion, which is the
moral uplifting of the lives and
eternal salvation of the souls of
men and women-it is useless to
speculate upon the union of two re-
ligious bodies whose ultimate aim
is the same, but whose methods
are so widely different.

Nc Alester, l. T., May 9.-A prom.
inent business man Of this city sent
out on Saturday a letter of inquiry
to 225 private and national banks in
Indian Territory asking active off
icers to state according to their best
information and belief the PERCENTAGE
Of voters who will support the consti-
tuition.
Uu until noon today about two hun
derd answers were received and in
the opinion of the bankers Indian Ter
ritory will give from eighty-five to
ninety per cent vote for the consti-
tuition. The remarks appended to
letters indicated in many cases that
this is because Of the desire for self
government and the end Of long-range
administration which outweighs ev-
cry other consideration.
There is decided opposition in only
few counties, Murray, Wagner,
Mcintosh and other counties, with
considerable dissatisfaction among
the negroes in Muskogee county. The
percentage south Of the Canadian riv-
er is naturally much larger than to
the north.
