Ancient superstftion.

There is a curious old superstition
that nine holly-leaves tied in a handker-
chief with nine knots, and placed under
the pillow on Christmas night, will
cause the sleeper TO dream of his or her
future wife or husband.

Issues Statement Repeating His
Election Night Pledge Not to
Accept denomination.
POLITICIANS ARE SURPRISED.
II Have Not Changed and Shall Not
Change" Is His Irrevocable
Decision.

President Roosevelt has officially and
finally reiterated his refusal to accept
denomination and reelection, first
made on election night OF 1904.
He did this in statement formally
issued from the White House Wednes-
day evening, which came as an entire
surprise to everybody. Correspondents
who went over to the White House for
the statement, of which they had been
notified by telephone, were entirely I'M
prepared for its contents. 1t was writ
ten out by the President without con-
sultation with any of the party leaders.
Text OF the Statement.
He took into his confidence only his
secretary, Mr.. Loeb, and between them
they prepared the following statement:
On the night after election made the
following announcement
II am deeply sensible of the honor done
m" by the American people in thus ex-
pressing their confidence in what have
done and have tried to do. appreciate
20 the full the solemn responsibility this
confidence imposes upon me, and l shall
do all that in my power lies not to forfeit

1t somehow kept making me sad;
For the little lame boy was a good little
boy,
And l couldn't help wondering why,
If the ones that are best deserve more
than the rest,
Good Santa Claus passed him by.
l took him some turkey, and cookies, and
toys,
And it made him so glad that he cried,
And all day l kept thinking Of lame little
boys,
And felt kind Of choky inside;
But I dreamed the most beautiful dream

This three and half years constitute my

In the absence Of any information
further than that afforded by the state
ment itself, theories ran riot. Every
statesman and politician at once put

ings had forced the Presidents hand"
as most of them put ii. .m..
TO those who have enjoyed the Presi-
dents confidence in relation to the per-
picking political situation confronting
the Republican party, the statement
was as much of surprise as it was to
those not favored. The surprise, how
ever, ii must be borne in mind, was not
so rluch with regard to the contents Of
the announcement as that 1t had come
lust when it did. 1t is practically GER
tain that only few days before the
President had no intention of saying
anything formally with respect to the
third term question for at least sever
al months, beyond what he said in his
order commanding office-holders to
cease their activity In his behalf.

President Roosevelt would not be a cam

of election left no room for misunder-
standing, and have felt that his friends
were doing him an injustice in suggesting
that he would change his position on the
subject.--William ]. Bryan.
That has been his position all the while.

Pat Brice Dies In Montana.

Tom Eagen Gets Ten Years.

Tom Eagen, the Swede rail.
road contractor from this place,
who was found guilty last week
at Grangeville of attempting to
murder Miss Helga Erickson and
her little brother, Oscar Carlson,
at their home south of town last
June, was sentenced Monday by
Judge Steele to serve ten years
in the state penitentiary at hard
labor.
It will be remembered that
Eagen, when drunk and crazed
with jealousy, went to the Carl
son home south of this place and,
after being refused by Miss
Erickson, shot her and the little
boy, tried to shoot Mrs. Carlson
and then attempted to commit
suicide. While the wounds
he inflicted on the two victims
of his wrath did not prove, fatal,
the affair created considerable
excitement here at the time and
the general expression of the
public at this time is that the
given Eagen'i is no more
than he deserved.
1t is reported that when Eagen
was taken from the court room
back to Jail he said the sentence
might just as well have been
fourteen years instead of ten.

Ferdinand findings.

John Schueller returned last
week from a two months stay at
Spokane.
Crops are nearly all cut in this
section but much threshing
remains to be done. The aver
age yield is quite heavy.
School commenced last week
with Mrs. Edgar Fry as principel
and Mrs. Helen Nichol primary
teacher. A fair enrolment of
scholars is reported.
A. H. Nau & Co. contemplates
erecting a large two story store
building to accommodate their
growing trade. The lumber is
already on the ground.
Mr.. ]. Buscher returned last
week from Green River, Wash,
hot springs, where he went
some time ago to take treatment
for rheumatism. His health is
much improved.
In regard to that reported
moving of the business houses
of Ferdinand to Steunenberg, we
would like to make the following
statement of facts: Ben Gerding
made a deal with Vollmer to
move his saloon and hotel to
Steunenberg without consulting
anyone here. Later the Schuell-
er boys and G. A. Smith also sign
ed papers to move their business
to Steunenberg, lots being offer
ed them free of charge. All
these parties retain their dwell
ings in Ferdinand. Some other
businessmen of Ferdinand tried
to come to some agreement with
Vollmer but failed. The only
advantage gained was the re-plat-
ting of the Steunenberg townsite
to conform the streets and alleys
with those of Ferdinand.
Surveyors are now at work to
make the change and we have
good reason to believe that Mr..
Vollmer will soon open up the
strip between the two towns and
let them grow together. It is
hard to see how he could do
otherwise while all the people of
both towns and of the surround
ing country want it opened up.
At any rate we have left in
Ferdinand a lot of determined,
independent people, fully content
with their location, knowing we'll
that they have the best end of
the game.

lewiston fair Notes.

The Educational Department is
enlarged and is to be full of
interest, showing working models
of all teaching apparatus now in
use in modern schools. The
University of Idaho, the State
Normal School, and the State
Asylum will have appliances that
they use and samples of work
done by the students. Forty
five feet of space have been al
lotted to this department alone.
The buildings are being re-
modelled. some additional build
ings erected, and a new location
of the Live Stock Department is
being made this year. The
Agricultural and Horticultural
Hall is being white-washed and
more Accommodations are being
provided for seating spectators
of the races.
Every day this year will have a
name. This cannot be announc-
ed as yet, until final prepra-
tions are closed, but special pro-
grams of interest to the varied
interests Of this varied Inland
Empire are being brought to a
successful conclusion.
The management this year
have broadened the entire scope
of the features to be exhibited,
and no one can fail to find some
thing to fit his particular fancy.
Our country and people are
progressing by leaps and bounds,
hence the necessity of keeping
in the eye Of the public the new
accomplishments of our wide
awake citizens, and the many
newly developed resources of our
richly endowed commonwealth.
