Judse McEwen on Divorce.

CHICAGO, Jan. 19.--Judge Willard McEwen, who is hearing divorce cases at the rate of 100 month, delivered himself of these conclusions: That ba- bies are home savers; that every we'll regulated family should have from three to six babies; that the divorce age is from thirty to forty; that lack of babies induces drunkenness, deser- ton and laziness; that '.incompatibill- ty of temper" really means there's an other man or woman in the case.

THE CANTEEN AGAIN.
Medical Association Is Taking an In-
 terest in the Matter.

tereSt In the Matter.
 Washington, D. C., Jan 19.-The board of trustees and other officials of the American Medical association which has, on number of occasions, adopted resolutions favoring the res torati0n of the canteen to the Ameri- can army, have come forward in hearty fashion to assist in the efforts now being made by the Spanish war veterans, Civil war veterans, and oth- CTS, to have congress again take up this question.
 Among the numerous letters that have beeH received by Captain J. Walter Mitchell, secretary of the na- Spanish war veterans, is tho follow ing from Dr w. w. Grant, of Denver, Co. member of the board of trust ees of the American Medical associa- tion:
 Il have no hesitation in expressing approval of the effort to restore this privilege to the soldiers. When I was surgeon general of Colorado, from 1899 to 1903. and member of the as- sociation of military surgeons of the United States, supported a rcsolu- this object in view. My association with the national guard and the mili- tary surgeons of our army convinced me that 1t was bad policy to enact the law. That it would be good policy and wise legislation to repeal 1t is my firm conviction. My knowledge of man and alcoholic liquors. and the customs of the people. convinccs me that 1t Is just as unwise and futile to attempt to deprive the soldier of the moderate use of liquors as it is to deprive the civilian of it. The mod crate use of mild alcoholic beverages on his own camping ground is not only harmless. but certainly condu- cive to morality. sobriety, discipline and orderly behavior, while 1t strengthens the spirit of personal liberty and manly bearing. Whatever does this makes him better man, and a more self-respecting soldier. "There is another matter worthy of serious consideration in this con- nection. And military men know how prevalent loathsome diseases arc in the army, and how seriously they disqualify men for active duty. 1 be-
 lieve no one will question the fact that when soldiers are compelled to go outside of the camp for liquors they drink more heavily, and 1t is at such times and under such conditions that they contract these diseases. The daily sick call tells the story. q know the essential importance
 of sobriety, and while I have great
 respect for the motives of the good temperance women of the country, who induce the abolition of the can- teen. I have but little faith in their | judgment of man and of the meas ures necessary to the best welfare of the soldier and the interest and dis cipllne of the army"
 Similar letters have also been re- ceived from many other physicians, and 1t is the almost unanimous con- clusion of these practitioners that the
 American soldier will be hundred
 times better on if he can secure beer in cleanly and healthy condi- | tions. within the army posts, than by going outside to the low grogger. les that surround them. The opin- | ion Is expressed that intoxicatlon un-
 der the canteen system, from the use
 of so light a drink as beer, is practi-
 cally impossible.

 Elks rooms in the early part of the
 evening. William arrived in Brook
 lyn about ten minutes to 12, and
 while passing the block in which
 Blandsfeld & Garvey's plumbing shop is located was surprised to see
 water coming out of the hall way. "BiIr opened the door and saw that
 a water pipe on one of the upper floors had burst and as the family lresiding there was not aware of the aqua flowing down the stairs and through the railways in a little lrivulet. Although "Bill' had his finest on, looking rather Chesterfield Han. nevertheless he knew that the water had to be stopped and there was only one way of doing 1t, and that was to get into the cellar under the plumbing shop But all doors leading to that place were locked land 1t would take too much time to look up anyone who had a key. IL Twas up to William to get through the Icellar window and reach the shut lon in the cellar. if he did not want his property damaged. So "Bin" who always has been a member of the society for the suppression of Lizzie boys never gave his clothes a thought but raised the window. and | let his long, lean but graceful an- atomy slide through the opening
 Once in the cellar it was not difficult to find the water pipe. but as it vas dark and he had no matches his shins were barked a few times before he accomplished his purpose. After he had shut oR the water he va lDuIled out of the cellar by sous oi ths Ds1bGs e ths Druoklyn Das1st.

Mrs. Sylvester Scott, the aged
lady who proved the principal

children. Her daughter, Miss
Prudie Scott, who was also an
important witness in the above
mentioned case, died at Grange

yond. Miss Scott was % years

Case Was Only A Farce.

Barth, charged with passing a
worthless check, was tried here
yesterday in Justice Farnsworth's
court and after considerable ar
gument pro and con was thrown
out of court. The case originat-
ed, it is reported, over a gambl-
ing debt for which Barth is said
to have given a check for $3.50 in
favor of E. ]. Nichols and later
stopped the payment of the check
at a local bank. He left town
and a warrent was sworn out for
his arrest, the officer finding him
at Kamiah. When the case came

Barth was represented by Attys.

Adam Brust's Boy Dies.

Irwin Brust, the I6-year old son
of Mr.. and Mrs. Adam Brust, of
Grangeville, formerly of near this
place, died at his home in that city
early Saturday morning from heart
failure attending an attack of diph-
iberia. The boy had been i'll with
the latter disease for some time but
was we'll on the way to recovery.
On Saturday morning he stepped
out into the yard for few moments
and became unconscious on return
ing to the house, expiring a few
minutes later. The funeral was
held Sunday afternoon, large num-
Der of people attending the sad rites.
The floral offerings were numerous
and beautiful and bore silent evi'
dence to the esteem in which the
young man was held.
The deceased was a nephew o.
our merchant and townsman, w
G. Brust, and until about thre,
years ago resided with his parent
on their farm northeast of town.
The family has many friends il
this vicinity who will sincerel
sympathize with them in their loss

The village election held here
tuesday passed off very smooth
", everything being quiet and
orderly and no factional strife
being apparent. The vote cast
was not so heavy as that of two
years ago although the popula-
zion of the village has increased
materially since that time. The
total vote cast was 189, the diff
ferent candidates nominated re-
ceiving the following votes:
Stuart Severns, IT'S; A. ]. Payne,
SO; Geo. J. Terhaar, 90; ]. T.
Hale, SO; M. F. Fuchs, 159; Joe
F. Howell, 83; Geo. F. McKin-
ney, 113; Geo. M. Robertson,
100. Of these the five receiving
the highest vote, namely Sew
erns, Fuchs, Mckinney, Robert
son and Payne, were declared
elected and will have the man
agement of the village affairs for
the coming two years. AS all of
the gentlemen are representative
citizens with the continued
growth, welfare and prosperity
of Cottonwood at heart we be-
lieve they will prove worthy of
the trust imposed in them and
are certain they are satisfactory
to the greatest majority of our
citizens. While they will have
some serious problems to solve
during their term of Office we be-
leive they will be able to handle
them impartially and on broad
business basis and hope they will
see their way clear to provide oul
city with what it needs most-s
water system-before handing
the reins of office over to then
successors. We are aware that
there are many matters needing
the early attention of the new
board but most of them can be
handled successfully without any
great effort and the only problem
which will require considerable
time and attention is the secure
ing of a system of city water fol
our town.
The election allowed mentioned
was held in the Funke building
on King street. The officers
were: w. L. Farnsworth, Rev
Henderson and Mrs. Severns
clerks; John Funke, w. L. Brown
and N. G. Bartlett, judges.

He Really Is Not Wanted.

A number of our citizens who
believe in having a peaceable
town and do not favor disturbing
influences waited upon Geo. w.
Goode last evening and escorted
him to the east edge of town
where they started him at a rapid
gait for other and healthier
climes, after admonishing him
that his room here was more well
come than his presence. While
such measures are not strictly in
accordance with Blackstone they
are usually very effective and we
believe few will bewail the loss of
our quondam legal light.
Since the above was put in type
we are informed Mr.. Goode has
returned, but it may not prove a
wise move on his part, as many
of our citizens are highly incens-
ed and are seriously considering
adopting more effective measures
unless the nuisance is abated.
