PROSECUTING WITNESS
 UNABLE 10 APPEAR
Tine Trial Of James Black for Cutting William leFever Continued Until Tomorrow.

Yesterday was the time set for the preliminary examination of James Black. charged with performing an unauthorized and irregular anatomical experiment. on William LeFever last Saturday There was no possibility that LeFever would be able to appear in court nor was he. Accordingly d continuance was taken until ten o'clock tomorrow, but it is quite cer- tain that LeFever will still not be able to be present
 When Justice Johnstone announced that on account of the condition of LeFever the case would be continued, Black expressed surprise. saying that he had understood that LeFever was able to sit up. The court replied that that was true. but that so far he had been unable to lie down by reason of the stab wound over his heart.
 II was found necessary to remove LeFever to the Arizona sanitarium. where he was put under the care of pr. Bond. his family physician. He showed some improvements during the day and last night pr. Bond said that he believed he would recover unless unexpected complications set in. The exact character of the wound over the heart has not yet been determined but it is not believed to be gravely serious if blood poisoning can be averted.
 LeFever is still obliged to remain in a sitting posture, nor is he able to stand on his feet. His physician be- lieves that it is advisable for him to remain quiet as long as possible and he thinks that there would be dan ger in his early appearance at court.

DUAL VICTORY
 BOISE TRIAL
Both Sides Pleased With
 Frisco Deposition
State Secures Admission of Bradley That It Might Have Been . Bomb.

Boise, July S.-A part of the San Francisco dispositions dealing with the Bradley explosion was read today to the Haywood jury. The rest will be presented tomorrow. The reading be- gan directly after the court sat, with Darrow and Senator Borah alternating for the respective sides. Although they pressed ahead as fast as they could calculation was made at the adjournment this afternoon showing that much of tomorrow will be con- stunned by unread affidavits. The dep- ositions have an important bearing on the case but they contained no inter est for the crowd, and the attendance was the lightest since the trial began.
 Both sides seemed satisfied with the showing made by the dispositions and their contents will probably fur nish much material for directly op- posed contentious when the trial fin ally reaches the argument stage.
 The state counted as a victory that Fred Bradley had receded from his first and positive statement that 1t was a gas explosion and was prepar- ed to believe that a bomb might have been used. Bradley's first statement was made before he knew of Or chard's confession or other evidence locating orchard in the vicinity of his house. The prosecution was also pleased to have shown that while Bradley was still inside the door when the explosion occurred. portions of glass from the door, hairs from the rug outside the door and pieces of stone and cement from the mosiac floor of the vestibule were blown into his body. IL will be contended that this shows conclusively that the eX- plosion was from the outside and could not have been caused by the gas in- side
 The defense. on the other hand. is satisfied that the depositions show that it would have been impossible for orchard to have reached the vesti- bule and piled a bomb in the manner and time described by him. that the evidence and particularly the effect of the explosion shows that a gas leak was the cause. that there were not two explosions. and that Orchards testimony as to his movements in the rear of the building when he claims he poisoned the milk. is shown by physical conditions to be false.
 The delay caused by the length of the dispositions may possibly defer the appearance of Haywood as a witness until Thursday.

INVESTIGATION WAIVED
 OF TELEGRAPH COMBINE
An Action Against Postal and Western Union Began by New Works Attor- ney General. ~.

New York, July S.-Attorney Jack son today made application to Justice Platzek of the supreme court of New York county for the appointment of a referee to take the testimony on the attorney generals allegation that the Postal and the Western Union com- panies have formed a combination to increase rates for telegraph service in this and other states.
 He declared that he was about to begin action to restrain >the alleged combination and asked that George J. Gould, Jacob Schiff. Morris K. Jesup. E. H. Hartman, Clarence Mackay, Robert c. Clowry and many others of both companies be ordered to testify before a referee as to the existence of the alleged combination. The action of the attorney general will be under the state antitrust law of 1899.
 He alleges that the combination he seeks to break was made last Janu- ary and that as a result tolls on mes- sages between New York and points in the state have been raised five cents per message of ten words. and also that the effect of the alleged combina- ton has been to increase the rates on messages between this city and other cities throughout the country, in many instances per cent Cover the rates previously existing.
 The attorney general charges that the two companies hav agreed to es- tablish at various places in the state common offices. He declares thay when this was done in certain New York hotels the telegraph companies agreed to divide the gross proceeds of the business equally.
 Justice Platzek appointed R. Burn ham Moffett an attorney to take evil dence based on the attorney generals that the Postal and West ern Union have formed an illegal combination. Moffatt announced that his first hearing in the matter VIII be heard on July IS.

THE NATIONS TEACHERS

The First Days Session of the N. t. A. Supplementary to The Hague Conference.

Los Angeles. July S.-"WOrld Peace" was the rallying cry at the opening session of the fiftieth annual conVen- tion of the National Educational As- sociation, which convened in Los An eeles today. Four thousand delegates arc in attendance. President Nathan q Shaeffe- delivered an address upon "How can the schools aid in the peace movement
 President A. B. Storms of the Iowa State College. was the other speaker of the day. A strongly worded reso- lution favoring international arbltra- ton. disarmament and other interna- tional reforms was received by the convention and referred to the com mittee on resolutions. Two sections of the resolution were cabled to the American delegates at The Hague.
 The National council. comprising sixty of the leading members of the association, held its first meeting, pre- sided over by Elmer F. Brown, United States commissioner of education at Washington.
 The opening address was at once call to educational forces to rally to the support of universal peace. The board of directors elected two new trustees. one filling the vacancy ere ated by the resignation of x. C. Dough- erty of Peoria, Ills. now serving sen tence in Joliet for forgery. Nicholas Murray Butler, president of Columbia University, was unanimously re-elect- ed trustee.
 c Three of the most important matters to come before the convention. which will be voted on on Wednesday, were practically settled tonight. F.. G. Cooley, superintendent of schools of Chicago will be the next president, succeeding MT Shaeffer of Philadel- phia, who retires. The next national convention will go to Cleveland in 1908. That city will probably win unanimously. A new constitution and bylaws were adopted by a heavy ma jority. The sentiment in this regard was practically unanimous.

No Notice Will be Taken Until Thirty
 Ships Are in The Pacific.

Tokio, July S.-The Asahi today published an interview with an influ- ential Japanese naval expert. who says: Tt would be improper to infer a demonstration in the transfer of an American fleet to the Pacific This movement is part of a prearranged plan. and a result of the constant growth of the American navy and the increasing importance of its Pacific interests from a strategical point of view. No notice need be attached until at least thirty ships have been transferred to the Pacific"
 The Asahi also publishes an editorial setting forth the same views. It re- grets that the American fleet cannot visit Japan in order to enable Japan to re-assert her sincerity and recip- rocate the naval hospitality extended the visiting Japanese warships at Jamestown The paper also urges the

NEARLY tlECTROCUItD
 BY A TROLLEY WIRE
Al Morris Experience in Escaping
 From Danger Not the Most Pleasant.

Al Morris who is employed at the ing west aloDg Washington street yes- terday. had close escape from death, by electrocution. Two things perhaps were all that saved him from serious ar fatal injury, his presence of mind in jumping in the right direction. and an umbrella top on the delivery wa Eon, on which >he was driving. The occurrence happened opposite Class Bros Cafe. The messenger of death was one of the big trolley wires of the street car system, which about the time Morris came under it. parted and fell, rstiking first the umbrella top.
 MT. Morris, who in his life has had something to do with electrical work, immediately realized what had hap pened and the imminent danger. He wished no Connection whatever with that wire which might short circuit him into the beyond. So he took the shortest circuit to get out of the way. Had he jumped forward the wire as it fell, would have hit him, but instead, he leaped back over the seat off the wagon with amazing agility. The wire fell and struck the horse and then the ground. The shock given the animal was sufficient to knock it down. It was after a time able to rise and immediately ran for the Dor ris barns. The horse was not much injured except for a few burns, but it was bleeding at the nose Mir. Morris is now congratulating himself on his good luck in escaping without injury. except a slight sprain in one foot, which he received in jumping from the wagon.

Shellman's Egg Report

A. L. Shellman was up from Spring.
field Wednesday and gave us report on
his leghorn "henery" for the year. Read
ers of the Republican will remember
that we promised to publish this report
early IN January, and we are indebted
to Mr.. Shellman for carefully compil,
ed record, covering 365 days.
He commenced the year with Al hens,
and one of the flock died in October.
During the year these hens laid 6511
eggs, or about 1s eggs per day. During
the season "a hens took time to hatch a
brood Of chicks, and there are now 119
pullets added to the flock, and the fami-
ly have been cooking young roosters
eyer since they were large enough to
fry. They will save six or eight roosters
for breeding, tho they had only two
with the original stock.
The flock ate $1,000 worth Of wheat
during the year, and this was their only
feed except what they scratched for.
The young chicks we're fed on bread
crumbs, meal, cracked wheat ETC., for
ten days or SO after they were hatched.
A few chickens were killed by the
hawks, but none by other creatures, SO
far as known. The average price receiv
ed for the eggs was "a cents dozen.
Some were brot to town, some were sold
at the construction camps on the canal,
and some to the settlers for food and for

cubator this season, Matching 200 at a

Roasted the Bachelors

Temerarious is the word to apply to
the man who dare say that the Old
Maids convention at the King theater
was not glittering success. 1t served
the old bachelors right and they haven't
a word to say. But it is only fair to the
bachelors to admit that they turned out
in force and faced their fate like heroes.
The convention was splendidly conceived
and handsomely conducted The cos
tunes were a chromatic symphony, be-
wilderlng cyclone of color and the wear
ers well, perhaps it is better to say
nothing about them. They might talk
back. In the front rows sat score of
young men grotesquely garbed as hay
seeds, who stood up and bowed at appro-
pirate intervels and showered sagebrush
bouquets upon the stage. There was a
platform to the convention but it was
smothered beneath an avalanche of local
hills, everyone of which called out vocif-
erous applause. The ladies all acquitted
themselves nobly and they deserve the
highest praise for their entertainment.
Who we're they? 1t is unsafe, gentle
reader, to lndiyidualize. You should
have been there to see for yourself If
