The Lion and the Mouse.

The Lion and the Mouse, which
Henry B Harris will offer here with
special cast, is play that pleases
all classes of theatTegoers. Although
the chief interest in its story deals
with the upper class of Americans,
Charles Klein has handled the sub
ject in such an unusually clever man
ner the social and financial episodes
In the lives of the moneyed element
is made vitality interesting to the
common people. The play is very
simple in construction, but it is In
tensely human, thoroughly Ameri-
can and has appealed to the popular
taste as the very best example of the
long looked for great American
drama" Mr.. Harris company is rap
idly nearing this city and the en-
gagement here already gives assur-
ance of record breaking attendance.
The date assigned The Lion and
the Mouse" is Monday, March 23.

notify the assessor and if

the duty of such officer to furnish
such rendition, together with his

such person, firm or corporation, if
any such oath has been made, to the
in which said rendition is made,
which court shall hear evidence and
determine the true value of such

Map Peddlers Are Fakers.

Another way Of buncoing the peo-
Pile developed last week. Some time
ago a man came through Caldwell
taking orders for maps of the state
of Idaho
Quite number Of people in that
city agreed to take a map which was
to be delivered later. According to
agreement and in a short time a man
came around delivering maps and all
the people who agreed to buy one
took one and paid for it, but in a
short time another man came along
delivering the same map, claiming
that the first man was a usurper and
that he was the real man to deliver
the map and had the original sigma
ture Of the applicant and insisted up
on the person taking his map, which
a large number did, thinking the first
man was a swindler, when in fact
from all that can be gathered the two
men were in together to skin the
public.
As a consequence a large number
of people are well supplied with
News.

Estimate OF Primary Law.

The Yakima Republic says Of the
Washington primary law;
The primary election Of September
s is nothing more or less than two gi-
gantic conventions. one republican
and the other democratic; held for
the purpose of nominating congress
sional, state and county officers and
expressing the choice Of the parties
for United States senator. In each
OF these conventions every voter is
a delegate. Every vote is cast Sc
cretly. The county provides the bal
lots Of which there are two. Every
republican calls for a ballot contain
ing only the names Of his own party
men who are aspirants for nomina-
tions, and every democrat is supposed
to call for ballot containing names
OF democras only. That is about all
there is to the new system of nomi-
mating public officers, except that
where there are four or more candi-
dates for a state office, every voter
must express his second choice as
well as his first
