Benefited BY Library.

Since the erection of the free public
library in Ensley, the public at large
has been greatly benefited.
Under the able direction of the librar-
ian. Miss Louise Thompson, 1t has furn-
ished Ensley with a most excellent class
of literature, and Miss Thompson has
made scores of friends by her very
affable manner to all the members and
visitors.
The Finance committee formed their
plans In accordance with the subscrip-
tions that were donated, and those who
have not been approached on the subject
lately and who can forward the amount
to this committee would do much to-
ward keeping the standard of the library
up to the high plane upon which it has
been started.

Scarcity of Cars.

The different plants have suffered great
ly during the holiday season for the car
shortage. Many of them have put on
extra forces of labor on incoming freight,
at quite an additional expense, In order
to get emptes for outgoing shipments,
and while the different railroads are doing
their utmost to meet their requirements,
immediate relief does not seem to be in
sight, and 1t is now as serious a ques-
ton as the scarcity of labor was a few
weeks ago, which has been somewhat
remedied by the Importation of foreign
labor.

Schools Too Crowded.

The board of education is trying to de-
wise some means to cope with the rapidly
increasing enrolment at the different
schools. Up to the present time the reve-
nue. has been sufficient to make the neces-
sary additions to take care of the
gradual increase, but of late the increase
has been so rapid that it seems evident
that a new school building is an absolute
necessity. for too many scholars to each
room Is not conducive to good health.
1T is probable that a meeting will be
held at an early date to discuss the idea
of issuing bonds to meet this necessity.

NO VERDICT
IN ADAMS CASE
STOOD EIGHT FOR ACQUITTAL
AND FOUR FOR CONVICTION
WILL BE TRIED AGAIN ON
THE SAME CHARGE.

RATHDRUM, Ida, Nov. 25.-The
iury in the Steve Adams murder
trial was discharged at 5:45 o'clock
Yesterday afternoon, being unable
to agree on a verdict after being out
since $3.50 O'Clock Saturday night
The jury stood eight for acquittal
and four for conviction. Jurymen
T F. House, Charles Dittemore, d.
w Garwood and S. A Varnum were
the foud men who believed Steve
Adams guilty of the murder of Fred
TYLER in the Marble Creek district
of Shoshone county, Idaho, in Au-
gust, 1904.
Five ballots were taken, all with
the same result. The jury was
ready to report at 3 O'Clock, but the
court conferred with the attorneys
for both sides and it was agreed to
keep the jury out little longer.
Clarence Darrow, chief counsel
for Adams, tried to obtain conces-
sions of bail for Adams and of i'm
munity from arrest by the Colorado
authorities until the Tyler case -
disposed of. No promise was given
him. Sheriff Bailey of Shoshone
county is here with a warrant for
the arrest of Adams on the charge
of numbering Ed Boule, near the
same place and at about the same
time the Tyler murder occurred.
1t is understood that Adams is not
to be taken to Colorado at present,
and that the state will not oppose
the efforts to get bail for Adams in
the Tyler case DarrOw will later
make an application for bail for his
client. but will now hurry to Boise
for the Pettibone case.
Hawley. chief counsel for the
state, declared the disagreement OF
the jury will have no effect on the
prosecution of the Tyler case again,
nor will it lessen the efforts of ths
state to prosecute in other cases
wherein the Western Federation OF
Miners officials and prominent
members are defendants. Mr. Haw-
ley is disappointed at the verdict
