surrounded by mountains 1t is
situated on the Snake River just
across from the city of Lewiston,
Idaho. It is connected with
Lewiston with a fine steel bridge.
Because it ls+surrounded by

fore, dry. It has a nice, even
climate. The tempature rarely
falling below zero. The winters
are very mild II spring we
have some rain and a little snow
in winter.

DENVER GETS
 THE DEMOCRATS Offer of Unconditional Gift of $100,000 to the National Committee Wins for Western City
THE BIG CONVENTION
Louisville Puts Up Game Scrap; Chi. cage Seems Not So Anxious; At- laDtic City Withdraws It's Imvi. tatiOn Until 1912.

Washington, Dec. 13.-Denver gets the next Democratic national conven- ton. This was settled by the nation al Democratic committee in executive session at the Arlington hotel here Thursday afternoon
 The convention will be held July :, 1908.
 Denver probably won during the recess declared before the committee went into executive session. Denver made an appreciable gain during this recess, and several mem bers of the committee were heard to predict. as they returned to the meet ing at f o'clock, that, if there should be a second ballot, Denver stood a very good chance of winning. The proposition to give $100000 was free ly canvassad during the recess, and it had a marked effect upon the in- clinations of the members of the con- mittee Louisville, however, was still very hopeful.
 The first ballot resulted: Denver 20; Louisville, IS; Chicago, ); St Paul, l.
 Another ballot was immediately taken.
 i When the second ballot reached H. linois, MT. Sullivan withdrew Chica- go as a candidate, and his action was immediately followed by Mir. Wood son in withdrawing Louisville. Den yer was then selected by acclama- tion.
 The Democratic national committee met at 12:05 D. III. States which failed to respond to the roll call were Arkansas, California, Kansas, Maine, Massachusetts, Montana, North Dako- ia Texas and Oklahoma and also the territory of Hawaii. The committee at once got down to business and the delegates proceeded to nominating cities for holding the convention Five cities made a bid for the convention, as follows: Denver, Louisville, Chicago, St. Paul, Atlantic City.
 Charles w. Franklin of Denver was the first speaker to be heard in ad- vocacy of the claims of any of the cities as a place for holding the con, ventiOn.
 The invitation, said Mr. Franklin, was first suggested by the Denver

The newspapers here have been kind to me, especially of the North and East, the Hearst pa pers, the Baltimore Sun and the New York Herald I have prepared skei- eton of my remarks and given it to the Associated Press, with the 'pizen left out. I shall inject that on the floor. I will make regular Arkan sas stump speech and give the old members a touch of high life. Most of the Senators say l will have a packed gallery.

STATE HAD NO
 LAWYER PRESENT
Printer Who Shot His Foreman Re.
 leased by Judge Galloway in Memphis.

A. D. Cheatham, the journeyman printer, formerly of this city, who shot E. B.s Naylor, foreman of the News Scimitar ad. room, in the com posing room of the Memphis News Scimitar about two months ago, was released Thursday by Judge Galloway Of the probate court, on writ Of habeas corpus sued out by Attorney Robert II. Prescott, representing Cheatham.
 Cheatham was tried in the criminal court few weeks ago on the charge of assault to commit murder, but was convicted only of assault and battery, and fined $75 and costs. He was ar rested the same day, however, on a warrant sworn out by Naylor, before Justice McNulty, on charge of car rEing a pistol, on which charge he had never been indicted
 Judge Galloway held that since it was shown that Cheatham had never been arraigned on the pistol carrying charge and had never had an cppor- tunity to plead his guilt or innocence; :; and further that six grand jury days bad elapsed since the serving of the warrant without an indictment being returned that he should be released.
 No attorney for the state was pres ent during the hearing of the habeas corpus case, and witnesses in the matter say they have never been sub- poenaed before the grand jury.

No Application Has Been Made For a Writ of Ha- beas Corpus in the Circuit Court, But Will Be Re- sisted When Filed
SHERIFF HOLDS THEM
More Developments as to Disappear- ance of Bush's BOdy-Att0rneys Could Not Agree as to Procedure =, Present State of Affairs.

Rison Ark, Dec. 13.-(Special. J. s. Bert Mccartney, J. J. Prince and ". C. Cotton, the three men who were indicted jointly yesterday by the Cleveland county grand jury on first degree murder charge, it being charg- ed that they shot w. R. McEwen to death at Clio, at the same time that Tom Godfrey was shot and killed and made way with, have not made bond and are still in the custody of Sheriff Ira Moore. They are also separately charged with the murder of Tom God frey in indictments, each indictment charging murder in the first degree.
 It was thought that the attorneys for the defense would make an appli- cation for a writ of habeas corpus Thursday afternoon before Judge Hen .1Yy w. Wells. now presiding over the : Cleveland circuit court, but the ap application for writ is looked for with view to securing bail for the accus- ed men. It was stated today that the attorneys would probably take some action today Or tomorrow to the end that their clients may get their re- lease on bond. The attorneys for the defense and State tried 10 agree last night and this morning as to some procedure, but were unable to do so, owing to the fact that Prosecuting Attorney Byron Herring of Warren, of Rison and Attorney T. Havis Nix on of Pine Bluff are strongly resist ing the release of the three defend- . ants. They will oppose the granting of bond in the event that an applica- lion is made for a writ of habeas corpus in the cases.
 There is a probability of the mur- der cases going over until the next term of the Cleveland circuit court, owing to the brevity of the present term, which is now nearing a close here. In the event this results, the defendants may have to remain in the custody of Sheriff Moore for many weeks On this account they said to be even more anxious than they would be ordinarily to get out on bond.
 In an interview given out this afternoon to Graphic representative, T. Havis Nixon, the Pine Bluff attor- ney, when asked why he was remain ing in RisOn at this time, sad: Il am staying here until& &the matter IS finally settled. The attorneys on both sides appear to be watching each other and as the defense has forty eight hours, under the law, in which to take some action for their clients l thought I would remain here until the time expired.
 It is stated authoritatively here to- day that the grand jury, which IS still in session, has taken up some other cases and has dropped the charges against the other two accus- ed persons, Mrs. Sue Mccartney and Ed Richards, for the present at least

James A. Garland died, it was feared the splendid collection of Chinese DOT celains which he had loaned to the Metropolitan museum might be dis persed in the settlement of the estate. One day General di Cesnola announced that friend had bought the entire col lection, worth about million dollars, and presented it to the institution. It was not until long afterwaru that it leaked out that the friend was this same J. r. Morgan.
 MT. M0rgan's new private library and museum in the rear of his residence in New York is a structure such as kings might have built for their treasures in days gone by, but which is without precedent, in this country at least, as the possession of private citizen. A passerby get into conversation with q man working upon the building last summer. You wouldn't think" said the workman, that it cost $2,OOO.O 900. Why, l would be satisfied if I could have the money that bronze fence cost pointing as he spoke to the fence that shut off the library plot from the sidewalk The building cost $3OO.O for construction, the land $750.OOO and furnishings about $1,OOO.OOo. It is en- tirely fireproof, and there is a steel vault in which to keep the most val uable of the old manuscripts and books There are four marble pillars in the li- brary that were brought from Europe by MT. Morgan and cost about $60.O00 apiece.
 One of the most beautiful things i'll the Garland collection, which MT. Mor gan gave to the Metropolitan museum of which he is now president, is the fa nous red hawthorn vase, a speci men of Chinese porcelain unrivaled even in the imperial palace al Peking and. so far as is known. unique.
