can be no question but what the.
amateur derives infinitely more plea
sure from such study that the pro-
fessional, since to the latter music
means bread and butter. How many
times in my life have seen men
of the age of forty to fifty come to
me begging me to teach them to
play the simplest kind of music. The
frivilous pleasures of life, at that
time, had lost their charm for them
and they did long for some pleasure
by the use of which they might spend
a few happy hours.
My musical observations have ex-
tended over many years, have been
made in no less than seven countries
in Europe, in forty-two States of the
Union and all over Canada, and
have come to but one conclusion and
1t is this: II | had a family of child
rem of my own, not one of them
would grow up without profound
knowledge of the musical art, no
matter what other calling they would
wish to follow in their future lives.
| would start them at the age of
seven, since no great artist was ever
made who commenced the study of
music after he had quit school
You say, MY children do not
want to practice" Surely, they do
not, since laziness and talent are
only too often combined Ii they
do not practice, make them do so. /

musician the world has ever known

I. C. King Suicides.

Thaddus C. King, of Otis, Idaho,
committed suicide at the CONNER
cial Hotel Thursday by taking NOR
phine. He came to the hotel at $3.50
in the morning and took room,
leaving orders to be called at eight
o'clock. At 7:10 in the evening,
the proprietor went to his room to
wake him in time for supper, but
he did not respond to his knock, so
Mr.. Munson went in and found him
in bed, breathing but bearing a
strange look. A physician was called,
but he was too far gone to be re-
vived, and died in a.short time.
Coroner MORLEY came down from
Idaho Falls on the midnight train to
hold an inquest over the remains.
Mr.. King came here from Ameri-
can Fork, Utah, and recently took up
some Carey land about two miles
west of Otis. 1t is our understand
ing that he was widower, and had
two daughters who attended school
at Salt Lake or Logan last year, and
visited him at his claim last summer,
but as to this we are not certain.
Mr.. King was in town Tuesday and
said he had just come back from
American Falls and that he had sold
his team there.

JA|LB|RD CAUGHT
William Smith, Who Broke Jail Here
Last August, Captured in
Cleveland.

Following close on the capturing and
conviction of Skinny Ellsworth comes
the news that William Smith, alias
Schmickey, one of his accomplices who
escaped from the county Jail here last
August with Ellsworth and five others,
has been arrested in Cleveland. A
telegram to that effect was received
here yesterday afternoon from Chief
Kohler, stating that Smith is being
held pending the arrival of Sheriff Will
son. He will be brought back here to-
day and needless to say, he will hardly
get an opportunity to duplicate his
sudden leave taking on his former
visit.
The man under arrest was awaiting
trial on the charge of grand larceny
he having been implicated with Ellis
worth in the bold robbery of the
Shear saloon, corner of Walnut and
Eighth streets last summer, when the
pair escaped with sum OF money and
yaluables after hard chase across
the city. He Is credited with being
one of the ring leaders In the jail de-
livery and is desperate character.
Ellsworth, whose real name is Mike
Randall, was found guilty and is now
serving Ave year sentence and 1t is
expected that Smith will get as much.
No details were given in the telegram
and the circumstances of the arrest
have not been learned, but the arrest
ing officer is due for reward of $50
offered by the sheriff Immediately aft
er the jail delivery. A reward was
also ofrered for the others, but so ia
none OF them have been heard from.

INTERESTS BANKERS
Tax Case Decided In Holmes County
Court Saturday Night-Bank
Officers Must Testify.

Special to Morning News.
Millersburg, March 10.-A case of
unusual interest, and especially to the
banks of the state was concluded be-
fore Judge Nicholas and jury on Sat
urday night late.
The tax inquisitor had ferretted out
nearly $4,000 against Emil A. Peter
as back taxes, and when he was noti-
fed of same he refused to pay and suit
was brought by County Treasurer
Charles d. Parkinson against Mr..
Peter. The case was on nearly al OF
last week and late Saturday night the
jury brought in verdict Of $4713.29
in favor of plaintiff.
In the trial of the case the plaintiff
put on the stand the cashier of the
bank where Mr.. Peter did business
and was asked concerning the amount
of deposits of Mr.. Peter at certain
date or dates. This was objected to
by the attorneys for defendant as be
ing in the nature of business matter
that would excuse bank officials from
divulging same as communications be
tween attorney and client. A long
legal battle took place over this when
Judge Nicholas, on O decision of a
higher court as his guide, decided that
the relations of banks and their Gus
toners were not OF the same charac
ter as communications and transac
tions between attorneys and clients
and therefore bank officials were moi
immune from divulging such transac
tions and held that witness must an
swer.
The defendant put no witnesses on
the stand, neither did he testify. The
case will probably go to the circuit
court and may reach the supreme
court.
