MILES JOHNSON Is AT BOISE
Will Assist U. S. District Attorney
Ruick in Federal Court.

Miles S. Johnson ofLewiston, assis-
tant United States attorney for Idaho,
Arrived in the city last night on busi-
ness Connected with the sitting of the
federal court this week. He will re-
main as long as necessary to assist
District Attorney Ruick with the work
before the grand jury and the court
Mr. johnson has been one of the
most successful prosecuting attorneys
that ever held office in the state. He
served two terms and out of so crimi
nal cases sent rs men to the peniten-
tiary. 1t was such an exodus of bad
men that the country has been as
quiet as a midsummer nights dream
ever since. Mr.. Johnson never lost
but eight cases where the jury acquit-
ted.
J. M. Molloy, former clerk in the
United States land office at Lewiston,
accompanied Mr.. Johnson in his visit
to Boise.-Boise Statesman.

PIANO STOLEN THREE TIMES
Finally Lands in Custody Sheriff J..
J. keane at Moscow.

1t can at last be said that the coun-
ty sherif-s office is not behind the
times. Although in no way extrava-
CANT it has fallen heir to a piano, and
every courthouse official, including the
tanitor, is as happy as peacock.
To attempt to give the history of
the magnificent music box during its
hasty journey about the city the past
few weeks would be impossible as
well as uninteresting. Nevertheless
it has aged considerably with it's ex-
periences, and the fact that it has
been stolen and restolen furnishes a
tale of unusual interest.
1t appears that s. E. Smith has been
in the employ of the Haines piano
house for some time, and after Man
ager G. w. Kline departed for the
south, Smith was placed in charge OF
the Moscow branch. According to
Smiths story he was unable to secure
any pay from the company, so he did
the next best thing and took a plano
AS near as can be learned the instru-
ment was taken to Smiths boarding
house, the Inland house, where it re-
manned for some time. Upon the ar
rival of Mr.. Kline an investigation was
made, and the piano was again stolen
taken to the depot and billed flor
some point in Montana. Now Mr.
Smith comes forward and after secur-
ing replevin papers and giving a cash
bond of $500, the matter was placed in
the hands of Sheriff Keane, and the
piano is now of the many temporary
fixtures of the sheriffs office.
The trouble is far from being set
tied, and both parties strongly assert
their intentions to push the suit as far
as possible.-Moscow Journal.

DECORATIONS ON
CARDS mo co"
Under New Regulations the
Postmaster Holds Up
Several Hundred

I'VE are bothered necessarily by re-
ceiving postal cards decorated profuse-
ly with mica and tinsel, which are I'M
maila5le and must either be returned |
to the sender or destroyed" said |
Postmaster Chapman today.
In substantiation of his statement
Mr.. Chapman produced about $50 of
these cards, which have been held up
because of their decorations.
The immense amount of extra BUSH
ness in the thousands of postoffices
throughout the country brought about
by the souvenir postal card craze has
caused the department at Washington
to make certain regulations to keep the
fad within reasonable bounds. The
sending of these souvenirs from end to
end of the United States and from for
eign countries has become so general
and the variety of missives so pro-
miscuous that it has been found nee
essary to draw the line somewhere.
Size of Postal Cards.
Postmaster Chapman in regard to
the matter said today that in the last
daily bulletin from Washington he had
received special instructions with re-
gard to handling these popular forms
of communication. These instructions
given in the form of rules, are in effect
as follows:
A post card shall not exceed in size
and SIG by and 9-16 inches nor be
less than 2 "a by inches, and shall
in form, quality and weight correspond
substantially with the official postal
card.
1t may be of any color that will not
materially interfered with the legi-
| bflity of the address and postmark
when stamped thereon. It's face may
be divided vertically by a line to the
left on which written communications
may appear, but on the right nothing
but the address shall be placed.
TinseI Cards Held Up.
Postmaster Chapman produced sew
eral cards that were covered with
gaudy colors and decorated with tin
sci. Such cards, he said the govern
ment refused to carry unsealed, and
ne also stated that it was not generally
known that the leather cards now
require two cents in mailing instead
of one.
This fact has thrown lots of these
leather cards into the deadletter office
where more will doubtless collect un-
til the ruling becomes generally known
In case, however. the leather card con-
talns no writing. Or the matter on the
back is printed, 1t comes under the
head of second class matter and viii
go for one cent.
Decorations Cause ANNOYANCE
The numerous styles of material.
used in the manufacture of post cards
such as mica, birch bark, leather eel.
luloid, etc., and the diversity of TASTE
employed in their decoration ha.
caused no end OF annoyance to the
department, which has been forced, IL
self defense, as 1t were, to seek protec.
ton through the enforcement of spec.
ial rules to govern the handling O
them.
