CITIZENS MEETING HELD.
They Discuss County Division and a
New Railroad.

Last Monday evening a citizens meet
ing was held at the new Commercial
Hotel for the purpose of discussing the
proposed new county of Power, and the
new railroad to Gilmore.
The meeting was attended by about
thirty business men, and when they
we're comfortably seated IN the big Office
the meeting was called to order, and W.
d. Trego was nominated for chairman.
Some good natured tilts followed as to
whether he is now citizen Of Blackfoot
or of Alberta, Canada, but he was pressed
into service. A. T. Ryan of the Idaho
Title, Loan & Trust Co. was elected
secretary, and T. R. Jones of the same
firm stated that House Bill No. 81, now
before the Legislature, provides for the
creation of the new county of Power,
with county seat at American Falls;that
the territory comprising the proposed
new county is to be taken from Blng-
ham, Bannock, Oneida and Cassla
counties. That the south line of Blng-
ham is to be extended west from Snake
river to the east line of Blaine County,
taking about $1,000 acres of Carey Land
away from us just as it IS being settled
upon. The line cuts thru Tilden and
Otis, and most of the new settlers who
are now on their lands have been induced
to sign petitions favoring the new
county. A statement OF the friends OF
the bill, showing how the new county
would start off financially, showed that
it would work hardship on the settlers
in the new county as we'll as in the
others. Maps and financial statements
were passed around and freely discussed, !,
and the concensus of opinion seemed to
be that the advantages from the forma-
ton of Power county would accrue to
the town of American Falls and the i'm
mediate vicinity. "Some good boomers
have taken hold there" said Attorney
Ryan, "and while we admire the pluck
Of boomer, it does not follow that we
shall sacrifice our own interests and
those of lot of new settlers who are
unfamiliar with conditions here, to help

Some Changes at the Anderson Depot.

The Anderson Mail, of December
9th, says:
Capt. j. r. Anderson, superintend-
ent of the Blue Ridge Railroad, an
nounced to-day that T. E. Howard
will be made ticket agent at, the
union depot to succeed S. H. Pre-
vost, who has held the position for
some time, and who recently ter
dered his resignation to become
clerk to the Commandant at Glenn
son College.
Mr.. Howard has been baggage
agent at the depot for several months,
and before that was local manager of

pany. He is a popular gentleman
and will make an efficient ticket
agent.
III. j. Gignilliat will become bag..
gage agent. MFR. Gignilliat was in
the railroad service at Seneca for a
long time, but recently moved to
Anderson and engaged in the trans
fer business. He is an experienced
and capable man, and the baggage
service will be safe in his hands.

Cost Of Denatured Alcohol Plant.

Commissioner Yerkes, of the In
ternal Revenue Bureau, has come
forward with a statement that the
farmers can establish distilleries fol
denatured alcohol at an expense as
low as 5000. He explains that if a
farmer or other person desires to go
into the business of manufacturing
denatured alcohol, at a plant how
ever small, he will be required to
construct his plant in the manner
prescribed by the general laws and
regulations. He will be required to
give bond, the effect of which will
be to prevent him from defrauding
the government of the tax on any
distilled spirits produced by him.
He will be required to establish a
distillery warehouse to deposit the
spirits produced by him in this ware
house; to establish a denatured
bonded warehouse and to tax pay or
denature, just as he may wish, the
alcohol produced by him. All of
this will be done under government
supervision, but the government
Us for this supervision. The man
ufacturer of alcohol does not pay
one cent for it. There is no objec-
ton to farmer manufacturing his
alcohol in "his back yard" provided
he wants to establish a distillery
there. But mind you, this stuff, the
manufacture of which Yerkes is talk
ing about, is not good to drink. It
is alcohol in name, but is poison as
deadly as strychnine.---Ch Charlotte
Chronicle.

Patrick Given Life Term.

Albany, N. Y, Dec. 27.--Gover-
nor Higgins has commuted the sem
tence of Albert T. Patrick, who was
condemned to die for the murder of
William Marsh Rice, to life impris-
onment. The Governor in state
ment explaining his action COM
mented that Patrick was largely con-
victed on the evidence of "Valet"
Jones, who purchased immunity
from the prosecution, although con-
Tossing guilt, by testifying against
Patrick. The fact that three of the
judges of the Court of Appeals held
there were errors in Patrick's trial is
given as q reason for committing the
sentence.

Eighteen Injured In Wreck.

A dispatch from San Jose, CAL,
says: "Eighteen persons were in
iured, several of them seriously, and
a whole train load of three score
passengers severely shaken up on
Christmas eve when the two day
coaches and the baggage car of
Southern Pacific train, No. 500,
bound from Oakland to Wright's,
left the track on curve near Birm-
ingham siding and plunged rs feet
down an embankment. That many
were not killed outright is due to
the fact that the train had slowed
down before it struck the curve,
where it is supposed the spreading of
rails caused the accident.

ELEVEN KILLED IN RAGE RIOTS.
RENEWED OUTBREAK CAME ON CHRIST.
MAs--TOwN UNDER MARTIAL Law.

Jackson, Miss, Dec. 26.-As a re-
suit of the race war in the Northern
part OF Kemper county, nine negroes
and two white men are dead, and
one white man is badly wounded.
Governor Vardaman has hurried
troops to the scene and the entire
neighborhood will be promptly placed
under martial law.
Information direct from Scooba at
noon says that everything is quiet
there. Six persons have met their
death in the riots--four negroes and
two whites.
The four military companies are
still on duty, but no further serious
trouble is anticipated.
AS quiet apparently had been re.
stored yesterday the troops were
withdrawn, but three hours after
ward five negroes who, it is alleged
had taken no part in the former
troubles, were massacred, quickly
followed by an uprising among the
negroes of the population, and re-
sulting in the death of two men, the
serious wounding of another and the
killing of four more negroes.
News of the outbreak was wired to
the Governors office and the Chief
Executive Immediately ordered Col.
Samuel McCants, of the Second regi-
ment, to return to Wahalak with a
detachment of soldiers from the two
Meridian companies. The troops
left Meridian shortly before mid
night.
Governor Vardaman may 90 to
the scene in person.
The first news from Wahalak came
in the shape of the following official
telegram:
Gone company of infantry and q
battery of artillery are in charge.
Two more blacks have been killed by
citizens. Troops are now guarding
the town. A body of negroes, said
to be armed, are fortified about two
miles from the town."
A little later word came over the
long distance telephone that posses
were forming with view to storm
ing the negro stronghold in the
woods. The negroes had sent in
warning that they would burn the
town if another of their race was
killed.

INTERESTING BAPTIST SERVICES.
9. n. sPURGEON's SERMONS CHRIST.
MAS SERMONS BY PASTOR JUDD.

At the Walhalla Baptist church
prayer meeting on Thursday night
December Goth, Pastor G.. III. Judd
stated that over one hundred and
fifty millions of G. III. Spurgeon's
sermons had been sold by the pub
fishers. Every sermon is stereotyped
and the plates preserved 30 that any
number of copies oan be printed at
any time. They have been trans
lated into Arabic, Armenian, Bulga-
rian, Chinese, Dutch, French, Ger
man, Hindu, Italian, Japanese, Kaffir,
Norwegian, Polish, Russian, Spanish,
Swedish, Taniel, Urdu and other
languages. Many people had been
converted in different parts of the
world through reading the sermons.
He said that he never knew Mr..
Spurgeon to enter the pulpit min
ute late. He used to say that he did
not want 10 be known as "the late
Mr.. Spurgeon" before he was buried.
There was room for Improvement in
punotuality in some South Carolina
churches.
Christmas sermons were preached
at the Walhalla Baptist church on
Sunday morning and evening, De-
cember 28d, by Rev. g. H. Judd.
The morning subject was the ado.
ration of our Lord by the wise men
from the East, in which the difficult
ties of their journey were described
by him from personal experience.
He mentioned that he saw the re-
puted tomb of one Of these Magi in
the church Of Mart Marian at
Urmia, Persia, probably the oldest
Christian church in the world.
The evening sermon was about the
angels message and the alteration Of
our Lord by the shepherds, in which
he described his visit to Bethlehem.
Several practical lessons were en-
forced.

FOR SUMMER WEAR
SIMPLE COSTUMES FOR Chill.
DREN EASILY MADE.
All Over Elaboration and ShoWiness Is
Considered Out of Place on Gar
ments for the Little
Ones.

The making of children's frocks, and
especially those designed for summer
materials, present few difficulties to
the home dressmaker, as although
most of the costumes seen follow
rather closely the general lines of
those designed for grown-ups, the
trimmings are much more simple and
the fitting presents few difficulties.
1t is not considered good taste nova
days to have anything destinations or
elaborate about children's frocks, and
although some of the finer models
show exquisite handwork and fine
laces in their decoration, there is
never any effect of showiness. Youth
full simplicity is aimed at by all the
best designers, nevertheless, very orig
inal and smart effects are gained
The long shoulder line is noticea-
bic in all of the frocks for young girls,
and the little blouse which has a
sleeve or sleeve cap cut in one with
the body of the blouse and worn over
a gimp with undersleeves is very pop
ular. A great many of the frocks,
both for small girls and their older sis
ters, are made in one piece, the sepa-
rate blouse and skirt being joined by
inset lace stitched bands, OR some
such a device.
For party frocks the Empire
tendency is noticed, and a great many
of the fine lingerie materials, embroid-
cred and lace trimmed, have wide
sashes of satin or silk drawn around
the short waist line, and held in place
by little straps of lace edged with
narrow lace frills: These sashes are
tied in square bows and ends high in

Mrs. Taft's Fad.

Mrs. Tafts fad is walking. Few
Washingtonians do not know Mrs. Taft
by sight In all kinds Of weather she
may be encountered swinging at a
good gait, sometimes miles from her
home. Walking is her panacea for all
ills, and she takes tramp just as 9th
er women take a tonic. She is as high
a type of domestic woman as Mrs.
Roosevelt, and as her pleasures and
duties center around her home, she
is conspicuous in no other way. Mrs.
Taft loves to travel, and she has gath
cred many curios. She has pieces OF
teak wood, ancient and absolutely orig.
inal. She has silver which dates to
prehistoric days of the Chinese en-
pire. But one Of her treasures is a
pair Of lovely pearls, given by the IT.
repressible sultan Of Sulu and without
the usual accompanying offer of mar.
rage. When Mrs. Taft visited there
she was accompanied by the secretary,
then governor general, and his unmis-
taxable vigor might have been the
reason of the sultan's coyness.

DR.. WHEY INTERVIEWED.
Gave the Reporter Something But Not
Just What He Was Looking For.

DIR. Wiley of the department of
agriculture is hard man to deal with
in some ways. He has a habit of ex-
ploding in an anti~climax and handing
a visitor a citrus fruit of some sort
when he came around for something
less acid. When they passed the
whisky decision last week there was
an immediate descent of correspond
.ents on DR.. Wiley for his views on
the question. Now, he probably had
views to burn, but not for distribu-
tion. He told several inquirers
gravely that it was not for him to
pass comments of any sort on the de-
:cision of the attorney general, that it
would add nothing to it should he
agree. So he declined to be quoted.
But late in the evening one of the
out-of-town papers called him up and
fairly demanded something ything
so it could be used as a quotation
from DR.. Wiley in connection with the
general subject of pure food.
"All right" said the doctor, grave
fy, Il have refused to talk to anybody
about the decision, but if it is only
generalities ! can tell you something
if you promise to quote me accurately.
