An Old story Of Njauara,

A hundred yards above the brink
of the American fall rock ten feet
square projects for foot above the
water in midstrcam. One morning
the inhabitants awokc and saw a
man sitting on it. The noise of the
rapids prevented verbal communi-
cation. They did not, do not and
never will know how he got there.
He stayed there thirty-six hours.
The people teiegraphed to Buffalo,
and the railway company sent one
excursion train after another for
thirty-six hours to see the man on
the rock. They painted signs and
stuck them up for the man to read,
saying, 1--WE will save you." Two
hundred yards above there is a
bridge. From this by ropes they
loated RATS with provisions to him
At the end of his stay big one
came for him to get on. What they
were going to do with him if they
got him in this seething rapid is no,
known. He tried and failed ane
went over the fall, and that is all

No judicial Division.

WALLACE. Inaho, Jan. 26.-
District Judge w. w. Woods and
Attorney John r. Gray have returned
from Boise, where they had beet cd
behalf OF the ShoshOne County Baf
association to oppose any division OF
the First judicial district. Id speak-
ing OF the matter yesterday Aftern6on,
Judge Woods said:
"There seems to be no danger OF
the counties OF ShoshOne ahd Latah
being made into new judicial DIS
trlct, and the delegates IN the legis--
lature from these counties are dnani:
mously opposed to 1t. There Is no
opposition to the division OF K0otenai
county into two new counties, and tt
this is done Shoshone and these tw6
new counties will probably remain i'd
the First Judicial district.
1.-The Kootenai delegates are fiot ID
favor Of seperate judicial district Tor
the two proposed counties; but II
such should be made, then 6h0sh0ne
should become district by ITSELF.
1.-THE superior court system haS
many warm friends In the legislature
aud will be INTRODUCED as measure
but SO far 1t is hard to tell what its
fate will be. 1t would require Il con-
stitutional amendment to accomplish
1t. and the legislature would have I'd
pass joint resolution to submit the
matter to the people az to whethet
they wished to change the present.

which is already appropriated by con-
gress, for tile construction of the
Boise elevator. and Mr.. French has
been assured by the department. that
the work of Installing the elevator
will be commenced at once. This in
sures an elevator for the Public
Building at Boise, and is all that
could be desired. This arrangement
will obviate the necessity of securing
the passage of u bill through congress
for this purpose.
Some time ago Senator Hepburn
secured the passage Of bill in the
senate providing for the payment Of
s74s to Lieutenant George Pettengill
OF the United States Navy, and whose
home is IN Idaho. In 1900 when the
battleship Oregon went on the rocks
in the Sea OF Japan, he entrusted the
$748 to an orderly with which to pay
for sending a telegram. The orderly
had been entrusted with such missions
and up to that time had appeared
perfectly honest. but this time he
absconded, and Lieutenant Pettengill
had to bear the loss. Ever since
Senator Hepburn entered the senate
he has been try ing to have this money
paid back to Lieutenant Pettengill.
Congressman French has succeeded
in having a hill passed through the
house, the same as Senator Hepburn
has done IN the senate, and Mr..
Pettengill will be repaid for his loss.
Congressman French has secured
the passage of a bill through the
house that was passed through the
senate last year by Senator Hepburn

place, and but for the passage o: the
bill, which makes the cannon The

would have been removed within q
short time. and the students wOult
have been deprived Of their use.

A Gladstone Story.

OF Mr.. Gladstone it was said b.
his detractors that he had somes
thing of the schoolmaster in his
composition, and this trait was apt
ly illustrated when during the stra-
mer holidays on one OCCASION he
met the late Duchess Of Abercorn
in country house, accompanied by
her schoolboy son, Lord George
Hamilton. Not many mornings had
elapsed before Mr.. Gladstone said
to the boys mother: tsDuchesss
don't you think it a pity that your
son should spend his holidays ID en-
tire idleness? I should be hAppJ
to give him an hours Homer every
morning" The offer was accepted,
and the foundation Of Lord Georgeit
lifelong hostility to the Liberxa
leader was securely laid.

honor of the marriage. The customs OF
the race were observed in all details.
Dancing by the inspiring music from fid-
dies and accordions was enjoyed until
late. Spirits were high. and all entered
into the affair with much enthusiasm.
The young wife had no knowledge of the
habits. looks or disposition of her future
husband until she arrived in this town
three weeks ago. All arrangements had
been made for the marriage in spite of
this situation.
Harry Smith, interpreter for the Po-
1anders. who have been brought here by
the United Box Board and Paper Co.,
acted an important part in the uniting of
the two people. 1t seems that it is part
of his duty to aid the young men in get
ting married. This is his first attemept
since coming here. All parties seem we'll
satisfied. The couple will reside on Is

J. R. Libby Discusses Temper
ance Question at Opera House.

A mass meeting under the auspices
of the business men of the city was
held Sunday evening at the Opera
house and was largely attended AL
the churches Of the city united in
emitting their evening services. The
meeting was addressed by J. r. Libby,
OF Portland, one of the best known
business men Of the State, who spoke
Oil "Civic Perils of the State"
The meeting commenced with a Sc
lection by the Colby College Quartet,
after which selection from the Scrip
ture was read by the Rev. Paul N.
Gayer of the Second Baptist church.
Prayer was offered by Rev. Charles w.
Bradlee of the Methodist church.
Mr.. Libby was introduced by Rev.
E. C. Whittimore. He referred to the
fact that he was not a candidate for
any office in the State but was simply
a common citizen, who was interested
in the condition of affairs of his own
State. He has been in business for the
past So years and found it very profit
able to go away from his home and
visit other cities, to see what he could
see and hear what he could hear that
would be in any may profitable to his;
business. The speaker thought that
people ALWAYS remaining at home
would become narrow and conceited
and it was highly important for people
t. go away, and find out how other
people conducted their affairs. To see
what other peoples troubles were in
regard to certain conditions.
Two years ago Mr.. Libby went to st.
Louis to attend the national convention
of the Anti-saloon League. There he
met representatives from nearly every
state in the Union. He spoke Of the
impression he received by the deliber-
ations nf these men. The men at this
convention were those who fought for
the union and those who fought for
Confederacy; also those of different
church beliefs and again those without
creed. The sentiment of the entire
convention was the determination of
the saloon from the United States.
This last October Mr.. Libby received
and accepted an invitation to address
meetings to be held in Alabama on the
