The telegraph Instruments we're
clicking off their tidings Of life and
death necessarily, monotonously, in
sistently. Betty put her hand to
her head with a gesture of weari-
ness. An day she had been sending
off messages Of distress to wives,
mothers, sweethearts. Her heart
was sick within her. Now, as the
clock struck six, she was glad to
meet the managers CHEEKY smile of
dismissal and hurry out into the
fresh April air. She boarded
North Hill car and then sat with
pale, tired face, thinking of the aw-
full calamity. Only last year three
men had been killed in the harbor
of Pensacola by an explosion on one
of the ships. To-day SO had been
killed by the bursting of a big gun
on the great battleship Iowa. Thir-
ty-three souls-brothers, sons, hus-
bands, fathers-dashed into eternity
in a moment Of time.
On Decoration day Betty picked
her prettiest roses.
81 am going down to the services
at the National cemetery" she told
her mother, "and l shall put these
flowers on the new-made graves.
Perhaps some heart would be COM
forted a little if she knew that her
boy would not be quite forgotten"
AS she knelt that afternoon be-
side a grave, scattering roses on the
new sod, a man came and stood be-
side her, watching the white-robed
figure, wistfully, as the sweet face
bent above the loving task.
As Betty rose she saw him stand

DID YOU NOTICE
MooN'SECi|PSE?
First of Two for Year
Took Place This
Morning

The first of two eclipses of the moon
this year occurred at an early hour
this morning. 1t was only partially
visible in this country. 1t was not
visible in Lewiston because of the
overcast sky.
On the Pacific coast the entire
eclipse was visible, but this side of
the Rocky mountains the moon set
with the eclipse on it. 1t took the
moon three hours to pass through the
great shadow Of the earth, not a very
/ long time when it is borne in mind
that the shadow is $4,000 miles long
The second eclipse this year will
| take place on September 20. when the
shadow of Neptune will be thrown
upon the moon, only an edge Of which
wifi remain visible.

SALMON RIVER
CATTLE DYING
Intense Cold and Lack Of

Special to Evening Teller.

Special to Evening Teller.
GRANGEVILLE, Jan. 29.-Cattle on
the upper Salmon river, between the
Salmon and Snake rivers, are dying
in herds, froxen to death by the IN
tense cold weather.
The cattle collect in herds on the
upper hill sides on the south slopes
where 1t is warm. and the snow at
times becomes so slippery that they
slide down the hillside. When they
strike the bottom of the gulch, their
emaciated condition prevents them
from arising. Then 1t is that the cold
attacks them.
Stockmen in the Salmon river coun-
try fear that another such winter is
facing them AZ when cattle were be-
fore frozen to death in this county.

Letter of Resignation.
Judge Beatty's letter announcing
| that he will resign is as follows:
Boise, Idaho. Jan. IS, 1907.-To the
Lawyers Of Idaho and any interested
1t has been my intention for over a
year to tender my resignation of the
office of United States district Judge
to take effect March 1. 1907. Believing
that the office will not be made a polit-
ical football and that the influence OF
the members of the bar will be potent
in nominating my successor, you are
given this notice. that you may con-
suit together and agree upoa Some
one. who may be appointed and con-
firmed before the adjournment Of con-
gress on March 4.
II am very anxious to see a worthy
and able member of the bar selected
who will serve the people not only
with ability. but especially with un-
questionable Integrity. That the posi-
tion is for life amid one of much power
are reasons why YOU should be jealous
in indorsing the best of your body
without regard ia locality, but / sus
pect that l dare not add, or to politics
Treats Al Alike.
ITO any OF my friends who think
should have given them some prior
intfmation of my intentions, let me
say. that have at different times
said to members of the bar. that when
concluded to resign, would treat
all alike by giving them the same
notice.
I'm keeping my word, I have given
no other notice or intimation than this
to any one. May l add. that during
all these years l have not forgotten
my gratitude to the lawyers who were
here 16 years ago, and who, when rn-
expected opposition appeared, almost
unanimously supported me by signing
their approval Of my appointment. 1t
has been my constant aim to treat all
with courtesy and in official matters
nave no favorites.
Taking this leave OF you and a
profession to which the greater part
of my life has been given, is not un-
tinged with doubt and some sadness.
for it is the leap into the unknown
Duties None Too congeniaI.
"To those wl.p wonder why do SO.
for know from what my friends have
said to me that they think my position
one of both pleasure and honor, !
add, that when asked the place. 1t
was more on the request Of others
than from my own desire.
For reasons needless to recite the
duties have never been entirely con-
genial, but as best as could. have
performed them. While shall shortly
let. the burden slip from my shoulders
I am not unmindful that 1t may be re-
placed by some greater one. but what
lever comes l shall always bear you in
grateful and kindly remembrance"

The committees of Aiankato and

1t was decided that $4,000 would

Minneapolis, Nov. 6.-"F Alberts"
who has interested himself in behalf
of Mrs. Aimee Lloyd, held at Roches-
ter on charge of passing bogus
checks has been trying to dispose of
his valuable pet dogs in Minneapolis
in order to secure money for the de-
Tense of the woman. He was unsuc-
cessful in his endeavors and is report
ed to have left without securing the
funds desired although he was given
at least one good offer for tie dogs.
The man, who is believed by many
to be the husband of Mrs. Lloyd,
registered at the Rogers hotel and
stayed there for several days. He had
with him a jet black water spaniel
and shaggy Siberian hound For the
spaniel he asked $3.50 and for the
hound $3.50, making total of 81 900
He told acquaintance at the hotel
that he had been offered slightly
smaller sum for the dogs, but could
not bear to part with them at sacrl-
flee even under the necessity for inn
mediate funds.
Albert is said to be an unassum-
ing, quiet young man about thirty
years of age. He would not deny that
he was the husband of the woman
but said that it could make little
difference to the public whether he
was OF not, and that when the time
came he was sure Mr.. Lloyd would be
