POWERS CASE WATTS
Main Trial Sidetracked for
Contempt Proceedings.
is ANOTHER BITTER FIGHT
Brought About by a Recent News
paper Publication.
WERE PARTIAL TO YOUTSEY
Caleb Powers Is Expected to Take
the Stand in His Own Defense
Monday.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
LOUISVILLE. Ky. December IA
Caleb Powers was not put on the stand
this morning in his own defense at
Georgetown, as the time of court was
taken up with hearing Of contempt
charges against Capt. c. w. Longmire
and G. G. Clark, guards at the Frankfort
penitentiary, instituted by Special Nor
ris because of an article that appeared
in a Lexington newspaper charging that
Longmire and Clark. who are at George
town in charge of Henry E. Youtsey,
allowed Youtsey the freedom of the Wilt
inton Hotel, where he is stopping, and
that Youtsey was practically without re-
straint. This charge Longmire and Clark
deny, and a personal encounter between
Longmire and r. Lee Davis. the CORE
spondent who sent the story. was narrow
ly averted.
Proceedings Exciting.
Davis, on Longmire's demand, finally
signed a retraction. declaring he had
been misinformed, as Longmire claimed
he would be discharged as penitentiary
guard if the story were not corrected.
The proceedings of this contempt trial
were second in interest only to the murder
trial itself, and the courtroom was crowd
ed with people. AS soon as the story
was published Judge Morris issued a
rule for contempt against Longmire and
Clark, and the matter is being threshed
out today.
In this story the difference in the treat
ment of James Howard and Henry Yout-
sey was also contrasted. it being shown
that Howard. who claims his innocence,
is dressed In convicts stripes, while
Youtsey, who has made an alleged con-
fession, is CARRIED in neat gray suit.
Longmire claims this is difference
caused by the men being in different de-
partments' of the prison.
This has caused much criticism, how
ever, as Howard and Youtsey are charged
with the same crime.

British Ambassador on Geography.
In presenting to the guests the British
ambassador. Mr.. James Bryce, who spoke
10 the toast. Geography" Prof. Moore
facetiously referred to the Englishmen
who come to this country on one trip of
a steamship and depart from it on the
next and write book on America upon
their return to England
But" he said. ambassador Bryce's
book on The American Commonwealth
has become a standard work here, and is
bearing splendid fruition among the
millions of young Americans. who have
received inspiration from it,
Ambassador Bryce caused laughter by de-
claring that no Englishman in the United
States considers himself a foreigner. He
congratulated the Geographic Society on
having passed the $4,000 membership mark,
and said that it has more than the member
ship Of all the geographic societies in
Europe. Ambassador Bryce common ded
the work of Capt. Amundsen. and said it
was an Icelander who first discovered
America, but he did not at the time know
he had discovered 1t. Mr.. Bryce paid high
tribute TO geography and geographers, de-
claring that geography now leads all the
sciencea
Geography" he added "has Influenced
the march of men; IL has given him an
infinite charm in the study Of human ma
ture. The map OF Africa sixty years ago
was practically blank"
The speaker told of the appearance of
ancient maps and geography but said
now everything is covered and very little
is left for imagination or for the explorer.
He made several witty remarks at the
expense of the old-time geographer and
his methods. and said that the National
Geographic Society may look forward to
many years of usefulness. and will doubt

To Advertise Idaho

We want to interest the readers Of
The Republican in our plan to advertise
and boost Idaho. The first thing needed
is to have the natural resources, and we
have them. The next thing needed is a
good strong wideawake newspaper to
write them up and publish correct ac-
counts OF them. The way to develop
such newspaper is to cooperate with
1t ON safe business basis, and all pull
together. Many people know Of good
things that ought to be written up, and
il they would send items to the editer
to direct his attention to them, they
would receive the publicity they deserve
and the author Of the idea would receive
credit for originating it.
Many people move away without pay.

Old Residents Leave

w. e. Barnhart and wife who are a.
bout to take up their residence in Spo-
kane, came to Idaho in 1888 and have
been residents Of Blackfoot since 1889.
They were married just when they came
west, and in leaving Blackfoot they are
severing ties that date back to the honey
moon.
They have been identified with much
that is of public interest here, and Mr..
Barnhart has been one of the hard work
ers for the Blackfoot Fair, the better
ment of municipal government,the build
ing of schools etc. He has worked for
other men in business for many years,
and always had the name of being
straight and loyal to the house ne
worked for. In business for himself he
has been very successful, and is one Of
the men who can get along with
partners.
The public is indebted to Mr.. and Mr..
Barnhart for much they can never repay.
They have furnished sweet music for the
wedding and the Christening, and at the
sad event when loved ones have been
laid away in The Silent City. Few en-.
tertainments have been gwen by the
home people that one or both Of them
were not asked to help with, and they,
more than most others, have responded
for one thankless task after another for
years, because it would be q treat to
others.

Last week the teachers and pupils OF
our city schools sent out invitations to
the patrons of the school and members
of the Board OF Education, asking for
their presence at the school Friday,
that they might see and judge OF the
work being done and that more sym
pathetic relation might be broug h t
about between teachers and patrons.
Notwithstanding the bad weather a
gratifying number responded In the
morning they visited the class work in
the different rooms. For two hours in
the afternoon they passed from roopl 70
room inspecting the mat weaving, pa
per folding and cutting, written lessons,
map drawing and other work done, by
the pupils. This work had not been
corrected and copied, and recorrected
and recopied again and again until alb
solutely perfect as is often true in these
displays but showed mistakes here and
there such as all children are apt to
make, proving that it was the regular
class work.
AT three the bell called all to the
High School room to listen to discuss
ions on the broad question of Our
Schools. from three view points, that Of
a member of the board, that Of a moth
er, and that of city superintendent.
Mr.. Gagon spoke for the board, defin-
ing its duties and powers. Among other
things he said the Board was always
glad to hear from the patrons about the
school and that any suggestion COM
municated to member of the Board
would receive consideration.
Mrs. Dobell in her talk in behalf OF
the mothers advocated better under
standing of the needs Of the child on
the part of the mothers and plead for a
more sympathetic hearing OF the child's
side of the trouble, believing that in
many cases the child can be lead to take
just view of the teachers course.
Mr.. Gould placed before the people
in masterly and scholarly manner a
few of the difficulties encountered by a
Superintendent in all schools and told
Of some Of the particular defects of the
Blackfoot schools.
The day was decided success for the
school. The children certainly feel
now that father and mother have an in
terest in what they are doing; the sup.
erintendent and teachers are encourag
ed and the patrons by helping the
schools have renewed their own interest
in the welfare of all educational work.

Tuesdays Election

In today's paper we give the form OF
the official ballot to be used next Tues
day. 1t contains the names of four men
nominated at the citizens meeting on
the 18th, and blank In which to write
the 5th name, Mr.. Chas. Hart having
withdrawn after'it was too late to nom
mate anyone else.
On looking up the minutes of the
meeting that made the nominations we
find the next highest candidate in the
list of those balloted on was B. w.
Holbrook, and The Republican suggests
that his name be written IN the blank as
the 9th member.
So many good men were balloted on
at the meeting it was impossible to have
them all for candidates and Mr.. Hol-
brook heads the list of all those named
who failed to receive place on the tick
ct. This leaves him the choice OF the
citizens meeting as nearly as that
can be determined by the expression
given then, and we believe Mr.. Holbrook
will be acceptable to citizens generly.
There will be but comparatively few
votes cast, and unless people are care
full to unite on the name to be placed in
the blank, almost anyone with a small
following might slip in. Don't scatter
your votes.

Sell the Fair Grounds

At the annual election of officers oi
the South Eastern Idaho Fair held last
Thursday the following named direct
ors we're elected: D. H. Biethan, Jno. G
Brown, Alex Younie, Geo. H. Holbrook
Geo F. Gagon, L. M. Capps, Geo. A
Robethan, q. E. Kinney, A. G. Robert.
There was some discussion as to wheth.
er to continue the annual race meet and
exhibit OF products or sell out the prop
erty, pay off the debts and quit.
Several held the opinion that the fair
if properly conducted was primarily for
the benefit Of the farmers, and that in
directly it would benefit all classes. 1t
was pointed out that farmers had been
Indifferent about the fair after the first
year, and some had even worked against
it as If it we're in opposition to the best
interests of the country. The business
men of Blackfoot subscribed most Of the
stock, expecting the farmers would fur
nish the produce for exhibit but it has
not worked out satisfactorily.
The association is still $2750 in debt,
and the stock subscribed was $4,000.
The suppositlon is that if the property
were sold it would pay the indebtedness
and repay the stockholders something
like half of their investment in stock,
not counting any interest on the money.
A meeting will be held on April 18th
to discuss the matter farther. at which
time steps may be taken to sell the
property and dissolve the association.

An Apology or So

In our school edition we intended to
say Geo. w. Gould, master OF arts lab
breviated butt read manuscript (abbre-
viated) in the final make up. Wenearly
fell over when we discovered the error,
bnt it was too late to correct it.
In our canal edition somebody placed
a cipher too many on the cost Of one
of the headgates, but we did not detect
it until the paper was printed and mail
ed. These things are bound to happen
and the editor gets the reputation Of
being stupid or stupendous liar or
both and he has to stand for IT..
