WOMEN IN BANKING FIELD.
Feminine Financiers q Promise Of the

When women began, few decades

The Publishers of Webster'S international
Dictionary allege that it is. in fact, the popu
lar Unabridged thoroughly re-edited in every
detail. and vastly enriched in every part, with
the purpose of adapting it to meet the larger
and severer requirements OF another genera
tion.'
We are of the opinion that this allegation
most clearly and accurately describes the
work that has been accomplished and the
result that has been reached. The Dictionary,
as it now stands, has been thoroughly re-
edited in every detail, has been corrected in
every part, and is admirably adapted to meet
the larger and severer requirements of a
generation which demands more of popular
pathological knowledge than any generation
that the world haSever contained.
1t is perhaps needless to add that we refer
to the dictionary in our judicial work as of
the highest authority in accuracy of detini-
ton; and that in the future as in the past it
VIII be the source Of constant reference.

The Luray, Russell county, Herald
has this to say of our recent article,
which is surely good logic:
1.-The Hays Free Press remarks that
every time this district has new
Judge he has law passed setting the
terms of Court.
GAS a matter of fact, the bar of Rus
sell county have for nearly two years
been almost unanimous in the opinion
that May and November were too far
apart and November and January too
close together for terms of court. So
they requested that the three terms be
each four months apart, and this has
been done. In Ellis county there has
been but two regular terms and one
claw term altho there is much 1itiga-
ton. There too most of the attorneys
requested that they have three terms
a year, four months apart. The other
four counties desire two terms a year,
six months apart. In Cove and Logan
counties, as the county seats are about
II miles from the railroad, in hopes of
having good weather for staging from
the railroad, along which most inhabi-
tants as well as attorneys, stenogra-
pher and judge live, late spring and
early fall were preferred. In four or
five of the 6 counties of the sdistrict a
jury can often be entirely dispensed
with at term of court, so the bill
contains a section allowing the Judge
to postpone summoning a jury. This
has sometimes been Done in the past

SECOND TRIAL OF MRS. WARNER
Charged With Forgery of Will In
$4,000 Estate.

Mrs. Mabel Young Warner is once
more upon trial charged with having
forged will whereby she is alleged to
have made herself the principal bene-
ficiary of the $40, 900 estate left by her
uncle and stepfather, the late j. w.
Young of Weston.
The trial of Mrs. Warner was taken
up Monday forenoon soon after the Nc
Manus verdict had been brought in
says the East Oregonian. In addition
to Judge James A. Fee, Judge S. A.
Lowell is also appearing for the state
this time and Colonel ]. Fl. Raley il
serving with Messrs. Winter 81 Collier
in the defense.
The selection Of jury was taken up
soon after the case had been called and
during the forenoon six men were So
cured as follows: q. w. Gross, Fred
McCrea, William Duff, j. s. Vinson,
/. A. Christopher and Il. J. Conrad.
By the time the above were secured
the list Of jurors had been exhausted
and it was necessary to summon a new
lot. Accordingly recess was taken
until 9 O'Clock Tuesday morning.
In view Of the amount involved in
the Warner case and the array of legal
talent, now engaged, il is probable
that the second trial will be even
harder than the first and that it will
require some time to complete the case.

MOUNTA|NFARMER DISAPPEARS
John stranberg, Finlander, Missing
For Two Weeks.

John anberg. a Finlander. was
seen alone at bis farm near Briggson.
April 16, but during the two weeks
and more that have intervened since
that time, no one has seen nor heard
anything of him. That he has met
with foul play is the general belief,
though he had very little if any money
on his person and he is not thought to
have kept any considerable amount at
the farm. Stranberg is about 40 years
of age and married, but his wife and
daughter remained in Finland when
he came to this country. He has been
living alone during the number of
years that he has been here.
When last seen he was very anxious
to get his spring seeding completed,
as the season was getting late, but
none of this work has been done since
that date. This is one of the strongest
reasons for the belief that he has
either met with foul play or been ac-
cidentally killed.
His cabin was left in a condition
which would indicate that he only ex-
pected to be away for few hours and
before when he was away any length
of time he left his farm stock in the
care of one of his neighbors. None of
these, however, were given any notice
of his going this time.

To Preserve Surface of Street
It Must Be Sprinkled.
STREET COMMITTEE RAISES SAG
Amount Contributed By subscriptions
and Balance May Come
From City.

1t will cost $50 per month to
sprinkle Main street this year. That
is the price named by the Athena
Truck Company, the firm that has
done the work in the past.
OF this amount, $46.25 has been
subscribed by property owners and
business men on the street. The bal
ance will probably be paid by the
city. The amount on the subscription
list was solicited by Councilmen f. S.
LIE Grow and VIM. Tompkins, of the
street committee, who interviewed
the property owners and business men
Tuesday.
The condition of the macadam on
the surface of the street at the present
time makes it apparent that if the
stability of the thoroughfare is to be
maintained and preserved, it is neces-
sary to have water on it Regularly
during the dry seasons OF the year.
Without water the surface becomes
ground up and excessively worn Ey
traffic. the result being many worn
and uneven places along the street,
which in time will necessarily have to
be refilled at considerable expense.
In addition to preserving the sur
face of the street. judicious supply
OF water keeps the dust down, greatly
to the relief of shop-owners and store
owners.

Attorneys for Miners Will Not Ask
for Another Change Of Venue.

Clarence s. Darrow of Chicago, and
q. +. Richardson of Denver. attorneys
for Chas. p Meyer, William d. Hay
wood, and George A. Pettibone, the
men accused of the murder of former
Governor Frank Steunenberg, have
arrived at Boise City and announce
they are ready for the opening trial on
May 8. They make the statement that
no motion for another change Of venue
will be entered, and that the actual
trial will proceed without delay 80 far
as they are concerned.
Mrs. Haywood has, arrived with her
two daughters, aged II and IL. She
is an invalid and moves about ia an in
valid's chair. There was very in
teresting reunion between the mem bers
of the family in the court house,
mother and daughters passing most of
the morning with the father there.
The men accused with Haywood
also go out in the grounds. They
both have their wives with them, but
Mrs. Meyer is i'll at the hospital. Mr..
Meyer visits her regularly each day,
while Mrs. Pettibohe has an oppor-
tunity to promenade in the grounds
with her husband daily. The court
house stands in large square sur
rounded by beautiful lawn. The
three prisoners sleep behind bars in a
Jail addition built at the back. but
during the day they occupy a room in
the older portion Of the building con-
Meeting with the sheriff's office. Each
day they are permitted to go out in
the grounds. where they may pitch
quoits, toss ball or indulge in such
other exercise as they desire.
During the outdoor period the wives
visit their husbands and other friends
come in and hold conference with
them. There are guards at hand but
these render themselves as inconspic-
uous as possible.

WHEAT AROUND ATHENA IS 0. K.
Frost Nipped the Plant Slightly in
Spots or Low Ground.

The frost, from reports that come
to town, has not damaged growing
wheat to any material extent in this
vicinity. A few spots in fields of low
laying ground, are said to be turning
brown, as the result of being nipped
by the frost, hut aside from these few
instances the wheat crop prospects of
the Athena neighborhood are o. K. in
all respects.
Spring wheat in this vicinity is de-
cidedly backward this season on ac-
count of the cold weather, but the
plant shows good color, aud with
warmer weather and a few showers,
every indication points to a good yield.
The fall sown grain is large IN acre
age and prospects were never better
at this season of the year.
