Idaho Falls Register: The Pocatello
Tribune says the Academy of Idaho
closed for a two weeks vacation dur
ing the holidays and the majority OF
the pupils left for their homes. As SIS
per cent of the pupils reside in Poca-

remainder of 100 there to go very far
The Register has referred to this
institution in former issues as a use
less expenditure of the money of the
state. We have recently learned up
on what we believe to be good author
ity that the Pocatello high school has
had less than 70 pupils during the
past term There is not town
or city in the state with a population
of 1000 that has not as many; and
Pocatello with its 5000 population is get

state to the detriment of other schools.
We observe after the Capital News
informed us that pupils were not al

towns having high school, that it
has had nothing to say since we in
formed it that So per cent of the acad-

High school.
1t is a we'll known fact that the 10
cation of this institution was job; and
it has cost the state over 100000 al

ion, nor any other state in the west has
such an institution; they know there is
no necessity for it. Montana and other
states with more than twice the pop
uiation has university and one normal
school, Idaho has university and two
normal schools. On account of the long
distance from one end of the state to
the other there may be some excuse
for two normal schools, but for an
academy that does nothing more than
the high school does there is no call for
it. 1t is simply a waste of the state

whether he would say anything abou'
the battle that will probably be wagec

ing. Twenty-Five hundred prominen
state Democrats will be in Lafayette
on the night of the banquet TO heal
Bryan and Kuhn.
William Jennings Bryan probably
will make known his position as re
CARDS to the acceptance OF the demo
cratic nomination for president Al
though it is not known definitely, In
diana democrats generally think that
Bryan will awaken the country by q
declaration of his principles.
Kuhn's candidacy is gaining head
way over the state. Upton and Clay
counties are the latest to announce
themselves for Kuhn. Others are rap
idly heading toward the Kuhn camp.
Marion county is responsible for an in
teresting situation. Kuhn is widely
known there and has followers at al
most every turn. i being the baili-
wick OF Tom Taggart he, too, has a
strong force, and Just what position
the Marion county democrats will
take affords some speculation. The
battle for supremacy between the two,
it is generally conceded will be fought
and decided in the capital city county.

years. and who recently went to Mack.

husband. is in Richmond again and has

weeks ago for Mackinaw City conf

as to her husbands whereabouts. Her
ticket was purchased by Township
Trustee Potter.

Libel Suit at Berlin Growing
More Sensational as
Days Go BY.
INFAMOUS SECRET CRIMES.
1T is CLAIMED THEY WILL BE
SHOWN UP BY THE TESTIMONY
THAT is TO BE SUBMITTED
LATER ON.

Berlin, Oct 25.-The hearing OF the
case of Count Kuno Won Moltke, ex-
military governor of Berlin. against
Maximilien Harden, editor of Die Zur-
unfit, for defamation of character is
growing more and more sensational
every day. In the course of the pro-
ceedings DR.. Won Gordon. counsel for
the plaintiff, declared that he would
eventually ask for the testimony of
Emperor William to prove that Count
Won Moltke had never used his official
position to promote political ends.
Herr Bernstein. counsel for Harden.
agreed to this proposal.
Herr Bernstein then charged that
the court clique, of which Won Moltke
was a member, was guilty of infamous
secret crimes. If Won Moltke is inno-
cent, he said, no one else is. and this
would seem incredible.
Harden proposes to call the head OF
the police department dealing with
this aspect of the public morals to
testify as TO what he knows regarding
Prince Philip Zueulenberg, the ex-Ger-
man ambassador to Vienna, and Lieut..
Gen. Count William von Hohenau, one
of the Emperor's adjutants. who. to-
gether with Won Moltke. have been
mentioned by Harden as members OF
the so-called CamariIIa. or Round
Table"
Harden has said that he will call as
witness Paul Linen. the author OF
a life of Emperor William, who win
testify that the late Prince Won Bis
marck once expressed himself con-
cerning the immoral excesses OF
Prince Zueulenberg in the strongest
terms imaginable. Harden will also
call Prince Won Buelow, the imperial
chancellor and field marshal and
Count Won Hulson-Haeseler. chief OF
the Emperor's military cabinet.
The bench has decided to admit tes-
timony to prove the alleged unnatural
practices that prevailed among the
friends of Won Moltke. The public

Lamentable Accident Occurred Thursday
Night at Republican Club Rooms.
BOYS HAD BEEN OUT ON A HUNTING TRIP
Rifle Was Discharged While 1t Was Being
Examined And the Bullet Lodged In
Kaiser's Shoulder--Is Some Hope
For Recovery Entertained

Albert Kaiser, a nineteen-year old
boy of Fairview, was shot by his
close friend and chum, Emil Weist
about ten O'Clock Thursday night in
the old Republican club rooms. The
shooting was purely accidental. 1t
may result fatally, as young Kaiser
was shot about one half inch above
the heart. 1t is thought the bullet
plowed itself through the lungs and
lodged in the boys spinal column. 1t
could not be probed for at once but the
boy was taken to Reid hospital this
afternoon for an ex-ray examination.
He suffered intense agony Thursday
night. Heartbroken, young Weist wept
bitterly when he learned that his
chum's injuries were of a serious and
possibly fatal nature.
Weist, who is but little more than
seventeen years of age, in company
with number of other boys of Fair
view went coon" hunting Thursday
night. They returned to the old Repub.
lican headquarters, which has lately
been turned into club room for the
boys of Fairview and is a central
meeting place for them. Weist still
carried his 80 calibre Winchester rife
which contained several shells. The
gun had acted strangely while he was
out and young Weist stepped into a
circle of his friends who were sur.

condition. He did not remove the
shells from the gun. While tamper'
