SHORT OF WHISKY
 AND OTHER THINGS

Outside of small stocks in the saloons, there is no whisky in town. The N C. Co. will get some down from Eagle on the very first boat, and it is hoped there will be no suffering.
 Feed is exhausted The \. C. Co. has neither hay nor grain.
 Tomatoes are out, and good many other articles in the provisions line are running pretty low.
 All this only goes to show that busi- ness has been fully up to expectations. In fact, it is doubtful if the stocks as a whole were ever sold down SO low before.
 Another thing noticeable is that the freighters have been pretty busy during the season now drawing to a close, not withstanding the feeling at the begin ming of winter that the business was overdone.

SIIAKEUP FOR BOISE.
Counter Charges of Misconduct In
Haywood Case.

Judge Femont Wood, who Is presid-
ing at the Haywood trial at Boise, Ida
no, Friday directed the prosecuting at
torney Of Ada county to make an in
vestigation of the circumstances under
which Harry Orchard was interviewed
for publication and take any legal
steps that his inquiry showed to be
warranted. Judge Wood drew atten-
ton to the publication of the inter-
views when he assembled the bench
Friday morning, and his request of
counsel for advice as to the manner
in which the court should deal with
the incident brought from the defense
the charge that Gov. Gooding and GER
tain newspapers, moved by the dis
closures that there exists prejudice
against Harry Orchard, had sought to
influence the jury by an attempt to
bolster up the credence that may be
given to Orchards story and the sug-
gestion that Gov. Gooding be cited for
contempt.
Counsel for the prosecution defend
ed Gov. Gooding and the newspapers
included within the charges and show
ed that the applications for the inter-
view with Orchard had been made
weeks before the examination Of tales
men disclosed the prejudice against
him. They in turn charged that while
some Of the talesmen were entering
court Friday morning men indirectly
connected with the defense had made
remarks within their hearing that
were calculated to influence them, and
this affair is also to be made the sub
ject of inquiry by the county prosecut-
ing attorney.
In calling attention to the Orchard
interviews Judge Wood said that per-
haps their publication was not an at
tempt to influence the jury, but as it
was calculated to influence turies he
felt that something must be done to
prevent a recurrence of such thing
in order to secure a jury.

PRESBYTERIAN ASSEMBLY AP-
PROVES CHANGES.
Fear "CathoIic ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
nents of Plan to Transfer Authority
1t as Tending to Ccntralize Power.

After a spirited discussion, during
which it was charged that an attempt
was being made to build up Catho-
lie hierarchy, the Presbyterian general
assembly at Columbus, o., Monday
adopted the report Of the special COM
mittee on administrative agencies re-.
ferring to the presbyteries four over
lures referring to changes in the form
OF government of the church which
provide for the establishment of ex-
ecutive commissions by the presbyter-
les, synods and general assembly, of
which the moderators of the respective
organizations shall be the head. If
majority Of the presbyteries approve
these overtures the committee will re-
port to the next general assembly a
plan for the executive commission of
the general assembly.
The report of the committee was
presented at the morning session, but
action was not taken on It until the
closing hour Of the afternoon. The
recommendation for the executive
commissions met with vigorous opposi-
ton, Rev Mr.. Doremus, Of Michigan,
declaring 1t was an attempt to set up
a Catholic hierarchy, and Rev. DR.. AL
exander T. Kerr of Pennsylvania, de-
nouncing 1t as born of the spirit of
oligarchy and blow at the basic prin-
ciples of the church.
The proposition found warm sup
porters, however, and strong defense
was made Of it by the chairman of the
committee, Rev. DIR. James d. Moffat,
president of the Washington and JEFF
ferson university. He declared the
proposed change in the form of gov
eminent was in perfect harmony with
the principles of the church; that II
did not mean a concentration Of pow

NO TRACE OF CARPENTER.
Missing Dakotan Not Located i'm Utah

Although 1t was reported that Rex
Carpenter, whose disappearance from
Mitchell on March % last created
great sensation. had been located a
few days ago at the home of his cous-
in, Oscar Willard, of Lund, Utah, it de-
velops that the whereabouts of the
missing man is yet a mystery.
Carpenter was supposedto have been
at the home of his cousin, but the
facts are that instead of appearing in
Lund, Utah, as reported, he wrote a
postal card from Cheyenne, Wyo., to
his Utah cousin, and then dropped
completely out Of sight. Since then
not the slightest trace of him has been
found The missing man disappeared
from Mitchell after having shipped his
household goods to Hawarden. Ia,
where he led his wife to believe he in
tended to locate.
He saw her aboard a train at Mitch
ELL stating he would follow her the
next day, but nothing has since been
seen OF him in South Dakota. So firm
ly were some Of his relatives and the
authorities of the opinion that he had
been murdered that a pond at Mitch
ell into which 1t was thought his body
might have been thrown by his al
legged murderers in the effort to con-
ceal the alleged crime, was carefully
searched.
Carpenters brother at Hudson spent
several weeks of his time and several
hundred dollars in the effort to locate
his brother The wife of the missing
man. who was left in very poor finan-
cial circumstances, has since been
with relatives and friends and
put to much unnecessary wor-
ry and expense, there is

place some of those who are the most
angry promise they will tie him to a
post and give him a good beating

HUNTERS "GETTING EVEN"
Boosting a Referendum for the New
Quail Law


There has been more or less specu-
lation through the central part of the
state as to the motive which prompts
the application of the provision Of
the referendum to the quail protection
law, requiring that law to be submit
ted to the voters. A little inVeStiga-
ton into the matter shows that it is a
move on the part of the hunters of the
state to attempt to play even with the
farmers. The hunters prepared their
own game bill and presented it to the
farmers legislature last winter, and it
was promptly turned down, as the
farmers never apparently look upon
the hunting question in the same light
as can the man who wants to kill
something. Then the same legislature
enacted a bill to protect quail for a
period of five years. Now the hunters
are carrying referendum petitions to-
get even with the farmers. They think
the quail bill is a farmer bill, and they
are against it on that account, and
think they see an opportunity to get
even" with the farmers on the game
question from a double standpoint, and
are after it.
