Prosecuting Attorney Hanson and

WALLACE, Idaho, July "a
Charges of loose administration of
justice, of conducting farcical trials
and of attempting to enter into con-
spiracy with those back of the law
enforcing government to defeat the
ends of justice were made last night
by the Rev. j. D. Neilan and the Rev.
Charles MacCaughey at the union
service of the Congregational, Meth
odist and Baptist congregations.
The two ministers, who have been
at the head of the movement to stop
constant law violations in Wallace
and the county. denounced in scath-
ing terms the action of County At
torney Walter H. Hanson and Sheriff
Bailey in hindering the progress of
Crime" was the subject of the ad-
dresses. Concentrating in sub
verting moral interests of the city for
financial and material interests was
heavily scored.
The ministers cases have been
pending in the courts for six weeks,
involving gambling and violations of
the Sunday closing law, and the pros
ecuting attorney had absolutely re-
fused to take action.
THE accused men are self-confess-
ed criminals" said Mr.. McCaughey,
for their attorneys have endeavored
to enter into conspiracy with us to
allow c. L. Popp and J. K. Jacobs to
plead guilty to the Sunday rest law
violation and not to ask for the IL
censes of the two men, this being the
second offense. Further, they have
asked us to drop the cases against
other saloon men"

SPECIAL COUNCIL MEETING.
WIN Be Held Wednesday Evening to
Pass Appropriation Bill.


special meeting of the council
mas been called by Mayor Scallon for
wednesday evening.
The purpose Of the meeting as set
out In written notice signed by the
mayor and clerk calling the meeting
Ior that evening is to pass the annual
appropriation bill for the city. The
appropriation required to be made as
designated in the notice is as fol-
lows; Salaries of city officials, s1O.-
oOO; hre, light and water, $25O0;
public improvement, $25OO; current
expenses, $4,000; redemption of war
rants, $4,000; interest on bonded
debt of $4,000, for the year 1908
and 1909, $4,000, making a total of
$2S,S00. This estimate is based on
valuation of 100000 for the
city, and with this valuation as
basis the levy for the above appro-
priation will be 14.4 mills on the dol
lar Besides the above appropria-
ton it is estimated that the city will
derive $4,000 from miscellaneous
sources by way of revenue, making
the total amount of revenue neces-
sary for the conduct of the admins
tration $41,S00. Since the matter
has been agitated and so strong
public sentiment developed against
such high taxes it is said that an
effort is to be made to reduce the
amount to $2S,SOO or less. including
the estimated $4,000 from other
sources.

CONSCIENCE HAD SLEPT LONG.
PurIoiner of Cake of Soap Makes
Restitution After Twenty Years.

Imagine a conscience that would
span 20 years and drive a man to re-
member a theft of a cake of soap.
That there is such a conscience, how
ever, is proved by the receipt few
weeks ago of two cakes of soap by
storekeeper in a little town in Mime
sofa. Twenty years ago this man,
Edward Hamilton, had a small store
in ST. Paul. In front of his establish
ment he had a showcase in which he
displayed several large cakes of soap
of special make. One morning he
found the glass broken open and one
of the cakes of soap missing. The
theft was so small that the matter was
never reported, and Hamilton had for
gotten it, till he received a letter from
the thief, which read:
"Dear Sir: l send you two cakes
of soap in payment for one took from
your showcase in st. Paul many years
ago. ! recently saw your advertise
ment in a country paper and learned
of the change of your place Of busi-
ness. | regret deeply having taken the
soap, and trust that this which send
will satisfactorily take it's place.

HOTEL LELAND IN FLAMES.
Famous HosteIry in Springfield, Ill.,,
Partly Burned.

Springfield. Ill.-The Leland ho-
known hotels in the country, and
which has been the center Of political
gatherings for the last 30 years, was
severely damaged by fire Thursday,
entailing a loss on the proprietors, the
Virgins estate, of about $4,000.
The fire broke out while the Repub-
lican state convention was in session,
three squares away, and when the del
cgatps received word that the hotel
was burning they leapcd from their
chairs. tore wildly for the doors and
hastencd to save their effects. No
lives We're lost, nor was any person in
iurcd.
The fire for time threatened the
building Of the Springfield Journal
which is separated from the hotel by
a narrow alley.
As soon as it was evident that the
hotel was doomed the management
sent all the available employees to the
rooms Of the guests in the effort to
save as much as possible of their bag
gage. Some Of it was lost, but, con-
sidering that the hotel was filled to It's
capacity and that the capacity was
somewhat stretched by the number Of
delegates to the convention. it was
surprising that so much property was
saved. Some guests lost everything.
But the greater part of the baggage
was saved.
The delegates from the convention,
when they came rushing up to the ho-
tel. bent upon saving their belongings,
were 100 much for the Springfield po-
lice department. They outnumbered it
about twenty to one, and while an Of
ficcr was trying to restrain one man
from rushing into the hotel to save
his property dozen others would so
tearing by and rush into the smoke
filled halls. Men repeatedly risked
their lives to save their hand baggage
and Overcoats.

CHILAPA, MEXICO, is RUINED

Loss of Life UnknoWn-Communic

Mexico City, MeX.-Chilapa, town
of 10000 inhabitants in the state of

earthquake and burned.
The shocks, two in number, oc-

were followed by fires which, originat-

facts of the disaster are known here
and what has been learned has drib-
bled in from a half dozen sources

The loss of life, if any, as we'll as
the monetary extent of the property
damage, is probIematical, and contin-
ucd efforts to guage the catastrophe
have been futile. Telegraph communi-

the shocks and the town is two days

WORKS FOR CIVIC PRIDE.
Excellent Scheme Devised by Mer.
chants of Western City.

A new scheme for arousing local
pride is being worked in an enterpris-
ing western city. The plan in brief
is, instead of attempting to vitalize
the civic spirit of the whole cOmmu
nifty, to organize clubs in different To-
Calities and to clean up and light up
certain sections, without regard to
what may be done elsewhere. For in
stance, club is organized in a
single block, and merchants on each
side of the street are persuaded to
join. If it is desired to make the
block brilliant with light at night an
investigation is had to see how it can
be done, how much it will cost and
what it is worth. The plan has worked
so successfully that organizations are
springing up all over the same city to
devote their attention to cleaning or
lighting certain restricted territory.
1t is much easier to secure co-opera-
tion between 20 merchants than be-
tween 200 and the influence of the
few spreads in a widening CIRCLE

REAL TRAGEDY BY ACTOR
When He Killed His Female Com.
panion and Then Sucided.

St. Paul, Mimi, March 30.-Wm. w.
Trainer vaudeville actor, shot and
killed Mrs. VIM. Pryor, an actress with
whom he was travelling, in their apart
ments at the Clarendon hotel, and then
killed himself. Mrs! Pryor was about
G5 years old The clerk in the hotel
heard two shots and rushing upstairs
found the woman dead. Trainer lived
for two hours.
An open letter was found in the room
after the murder indicated that Mrs.
Pryor had threatened to leave Train
or. The letter was one which had been
sent by Trainor TO Mrs. Pryor before
she left her husband, and it is be-
lieved that the actress was reminding
Trainor that he had not lived up TO
promises he had made her.
Trainor and Mrs. Pryor, who ap-
peared on the stage and who register
ed at the hotel as "Trainor and Train
Or" had an engagement at a theater

TRAIN MESSENGER IS SLAIN
THEN RoBBER LOOTED SAFES OF
CASH AND JEWELRY.
Victim Believed to Have Admitted :
"Friend" Who Slew Him as
He Slept.

Newton, Kas., March go. A. Bail
ell, of Kansas City, an express messen'
ger of the Wells-FargO Express Co.,
was murdered by robber on the San
ia Fe train No. lis, between Florence
and Newton, early Sunday morning
Both safes, the local" and Through" "
were ransacked and at least 81 900 in
cash and some jewelry taken. Wheth'
er this is the full amount the robbeI
secured is not known.
The dead body of Messenger Bailey
was found at o'clock Sunday morn
ing when the train reached Newton. 1t
was stretched on the floor of the car,
the head beaten to pulp and lying in
was crushed and the end of the car in
which the body was lying was spatter-
ed with blood. The blood Spatters
reached to the ceiling. There was no
evidence of any struggle, the indica.
tions pointing to the committing of the
murder when the messenger was
asleep.
Bailey was last seen alive at Strong
City. At Peabody some one opened
the car door just enough to throw out
a package of waybills and then closed
1t quickly. The custom of the messen
ger has been to go to sleep soon after
leaving Florence, and it is probable
that he did this Saturday night. After
he was struck and rendered uncon
scious, his body rolled to the floor and
the robber, after beating his victims
head, covered it with the dead mans
coat.
One blow was struck at the mans
face with some sharp instrument, evi.
IDENTIFY hatchet, which broke the jaw
bone From the dead mans pockets
keys were removed and the safes
ransacked. Then the keys were put
back into Bailey's overcoat, the coat
folded and put into his grip, where 1t
was found later.
Two theories are held by the author
tiles. One is that the robber entered
the car unobserved at Emporia, Strong
City or some other point along the line
and concealed himself until A favor.
able opportunity to commit the rob
berry came, and the other is that Bailey
admitted somebody he knew and con-
sidered a friend
A reward of $1,000 has been offered
by the express company for the apprc-
