farce comedy in three acts, in which
Nat c. Goodwin scored his biggest hit,

Stock company this week, commence
ing tomorrow evening. Next week will
be the last appearance of the capable
little company that has been holding
down the boards at the State street
theatre during the summer, as the
management announces that the COM
pany will close its engagement here
Monday evening, July 29, when fit
ting closing program will be given. The
play to be offered tomorrow evening
and all week is replete with amusing
complications and startling situations
that deal principally with Captain
Midway, who is supposed to have been
lost at sea; his son, George. who is in
love with Ada Baltic, the only daUCh-
ter of General Baltic, a fiery, aristO-
cratic old fellow in the foreign service
Who refuses to sanction the engage
ment between George and his daugh-
ter until he has had sufficient proofs
of the latter's social standing and
family pedigree. In his efforts to fur
nish the general all this. George I'M
earths a nest of complications that
fairly stagger him, all of which he
finally OvercOmes and continues to
plead for the generals consent. When
everything seems to be running along
smoothly, Georges father appears with
a startling story. He tells George that
he had been shipwrecked off the coast
of South America, that he had been
rescued by q native negro woman, who
had nursed him through a fever that
followed, and who afterward claimed
that she had married him during his
illness. He told how he had fled from
the country on the first ship. and how
the negro woman had followed him.
George is dUmbfounded by the narra-
tive, but realizes that if the general
consented to his marriage before he
found out the true state of affairs ev-
erything would be all right. The cap
tain is then hidden away in the con-
servatorv He is no sooner put there

she is referring to George, and in turn
accuses him of base deception. Com

In the death of John Alexander
Dowie, last Saturday, at the
zionist colony which he founded
at Chicago, the world has lost
another of those strange and
picturesque characters which
have sprung up from time to
time since history began to re-
cord the careers Of men. He has
had so many predecessors from
Mohamed to Joseph Smith-men
who conceived anidea which they
were able to impress upon por-
lions of mankind with such force
as to make them believers and
followers Of some peculiar doc
trine. Dowie was only thelatast
OF a long line Of men who could
get together a following Of hu-
manity which the world looked
upon as his dupes. May we not
all OF us befollowing some theory
or religious belief quite as far
from the truth as was Elijah IL.

The district court of Canyon
county is now in session at Cald-
well. What is to be done in the
matter of the most important
criminal case that ever came be-
fore an Idaho court remains a
surmise at this writing. One
guess can be made now, and that
is that Judge Bryan will declare
himself disqualified to conduct
the trial and will call some other
judge to preside. Then again a
change ofvenueis almost certain
to be demanded by the defense.
1t is more than likely that this
important case will remain on
the court dockets for a good
many years. There is too much
feeling and too much money be-
hind both sides for the people to
expect anything else.

The high license and the Sun
day rest laws are subjects Of
much discussion and many i'm
precautions by local politicians
toasting the heels OF their shoes
on saloon stoves, these stormy
March days. The all absorbing
question is, How many saloons
will be left in town when thepres-
ent licences run out? Some say,
only one, while Others say, all OF
them.

A term OF the federal court was

whether they are to beland fraud

only as yet surmised.

the increased sum, becauseit will

1t is "a common remark among
business men here that the mining
outlook for Owyhee for the coming
spring and summer looks unusual
ly bright. They base their conclu-
sions on what is now going on in
the way of developing properties in
the several portions of the county,
and proposed improvements to be
made as soon as the snow is off and
the roads open. Il is a CHEEKY state
Of mind our citizens now possess.

The Steve Adams trial termi-
mated in a hung jury, after hav-
ing cost Shoshone county a big
sum of money. The trial was
more an effort to find evidence
to beused in the Moyer-Heywood
Pettibone case than to try and
convict the worthless being who
professed confession of the par
ticular crime-the humping of Of
a timber claim jumper. Thepr
.secution was trying to discover
new facts to be used in the trial
of the latter case, and the defense
was trying to discover what evil
dence was counted upon to secure
a conviction. Neither side APP
pears to be much the wiser after
this misfit trial, and neither side
seems to care a rap for the fate
of Steve Adams. VIII his case
come up again at the next term
of court or will it be dropped?
Thea answer to this question seems
to depend upon what will be done
in the more important trial.

Congress has decided to increase
the salaries of rural and city de-
livery carriers. The matter has
been fought out during this entire
session, but finally those favoring
the raise in salary for this class Of
public servants won out and the in
crease will go into effect. One of
the most active in securing this in
crease Of salary was Congressman
French Of Idaho. Ordinarily Mr..
French is opposed to high salaries
in the government service, but the
present pay If those affected by this
increase is so manifestly unjust
that he, together with others, took
up the task and after several
months Of hard work succeeded in
having the increase made. In a
recent speech which he made in the
house on this question, Mr.. French
took the position that as the postal
service comes into closer relation
with the people than any other de-
partment Of the government inef1i
cheney in this department is i'm
mediately and keenly felt by the
people and therefore should be care
fully avoided He claimed that
the salaries paid to rural and city
carriers, clerks in post Offices and
on mail trains are lower than the
salaries paid to other workmen of
equal responsibility in private en-
terprises, and for this reason these
employees OF the government are
either compelled to work at a sacri-
flee to themselves or seek employ
ment elsewhere. This of course
cripples the service because of fire.
quent changes and breaking in new
men. The present pay Of rural free
delivery carriers is 1920 Out OF
this amount they not only have to
support themselves but must fur
nish wagon and team. The bill
increases this amount to 1900,
which is a substantial increas, and
can be further increased in future
congresses if it should be deemed
advisable.
