COMP PULSORY
SCHOOL LAW
STRICT OBSERVANCE OF IT'S PRO.
VISIONS WILL BE ENFORCED
IN LEWIST0N-TRUANT OFF,
GER Is APPOINTED,

The compulsory school law is to
be enforced in Lewiston, and chill
dren of school age that should be in
school and are not will be brought
before the proper authorities. This
is the decision reached by County
Superintendent Bernice Mccoy, and
her position in the matter is being
supported by Probate Judge Hanlon
and is receiving the cooperation of
Superintendent Wright of the city
schools.
The law makes the county super
intendent and probate Judge respon-
sible for the observance of it's pro-
visions, and with this end in view
thsy have appointed #. 9. Holbrook
as truant officer and he has been
quietly gathering up statistics in
cases where the law is being viola-
ted, and has already reported IL
children of school age that should
be in daily attendance, and the pa
rents and guardians will be brought
before the probate judge to answer
for their neglect.
Lewiston has too many children
out of school that should be in at
tendance, said Superintendent Nc
Coy today. "The provisions of the
law are very strict, and Judge Han
Ion and / have taken up the matter
with the idea of making parents and
guardians comply. Mr.. F. G. Hol-
brook has been appointed truant off,
Ger, and his first report shows that
IL children in as many different
families are being kept out Of schooi
in violation of the law. These are
not all the cases in the city, and
others are being Investigated. Super
intendent Wright is acting In hearty
cooperation in the matter. and we
hope to have all these children In
school this month. Both the train
ing school and the Normal and the
city public schools have room for
more pupils, and the provisions of
the law will be enforced. The delin-
quents will will be brought before
Judge Hanlon and strict inquiry
made with endeayor to fix the blame
and apply the remedy"

efforts of Organizer Kegiey of the

territory has been divided SO that
no union will have membership of
more than 100.
The purpose of the union is to in

Fight
FOR FREEDOM
RAISES TECHNICAL POINTS EVIL
IDENTIFY PREPARING TO MAKE
PROLONGED LITIGATION TO
SAVE HIS CONVICTION.

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 7.-Abra-
ham Ruef, through his attorneys,
has made the first move in what
promises to be long technical bat
tie to prevent his trial on the charge
OF bribery.
When brought before Superior
Judge Lawlor for the purpose of
having a day set for his trial on the
indictment charging him with hav-
ing bribed former Supervisor Jen-
nings Philips in the passage of an
overhead trolley franchise, Ruef set
up the claim that he had never been
lawfully arraigned. He claimed that
when he was arraigned with the
other defendants in the trolley cases
last May the copy of the indictment
handed to hin at that time omitted
to state that he had bribed the SUI
pervisors with intent to corrupt
them," as contained in the original
Indictment.
He had not been served with a
true copy as required by law. Upon
the request Of the prosecuting attor-
ney Judge Lawlor continued the
matter until tomorrow. Should the
court sustain the contention of Ruel
1t would not only nullify all assign,
ments and pleas against him, but
would similarly affect all the other
defendants.

Special to Evening Teller.
VOLLMER, Ida, Feb. 7.-The
Northern Pacific has today installed
the first telegraph service into the
prairie country, and opened offices
here with Ernest Johnson, formerly
of Kamiah, in charge, The railroad
company has recently installed an
extra train service between Vollmer
and Culdesac, and it is understood
the grain crop now on storage here
will be rushed to market.
The business between this point
and Culdesac will be handled
through the construction department
until such time as the road is turn
ed over to the operating department,
which is expected to be next spring.
In the meantime the company will
not handle passenger business be-
tween Vollmer and Culdesac, but all
features of a freight service with
telegraph communications will be
afforded from this time.
The movement of the grain crop
has been stimulated by a decline in
prices, the Eastern demand for bar
ley having dropped 10 cents on the
100 pounds, and as the greater per
cent of the crop has passed into the
hands of the grain companies 1t is
understood the present owners will
place the crop ON the market at the
earliest possible date.

Disastrous Fire.

At about five o'clock Thurs
day morning fire was discovered
in what is known as the Excel
sior Prune Dryer on the Will
helm farm, six miles south of
Bellefountain. The fire evident
ly caught from the stove and
was under such headway when
discovered that it was impossible
to extinguish the flames.
Seeing it was impossible to
save the dryer, attention was
at once directed by the men in
charge to the storage room which
was saved by hard work. Had
this building caught it would
have been impossible to save
any of the buildings about the
place as they are closely con-
nected. The storage room stood
so feet from the dryer.
The drying season had, just
commenced and about 800 bush
els of prunes were on the floor,
which were a total loss.
The building was owned by
|Mr. Wilhelm of Monroe, and he
reports his loss at about $4,000
with an insurance Of $500.
