MR.. GRAVES WILL WAIVE SPECIFIED CONTRACT UNTIL MONEY
HAS BEEN SECURED TO BUILD ROAD, BUT UNDERSTANDING
IS FOR HIM TO TAKE OVER ALL RIGHTS, PLATs SURVEYS
AND ACQUIRED PROPERTY AT ACTUAL COST.

The people of Lewiston, Nezperce,
GrangeyiIle and all OF the rich
prairie country and timber district
to be served by the Lewiston and
Southeastern Electric Railway COM
pany will join hands with ]. p.
Graves, the Spokane fnancier,, and
assist him in every possible way in
the building of the road from Mos
COW to Grangeville and Nezperce.
This was the way the proposition
submitted by Mr.. Graves has been
| received by the people in the country
affected. 1t developed yesterday
that arrangements had been COM
pleted by the Lewiston Commercial
club to start a campaign from
Moscow to Lewiston for the purpose
of arousing interest in the extens on
of the road to this city and to Sc
cure for the Spokane and Inland the
necessary rights of way and termi-
nal grounds.
The plan now before the people is
to work in harmony with Mr.. Graves

visit Lewiston and make definite
statements relative to his plans for
this territory.
The Graves proposition was made
known to the directors yesterday by
President G. w. Thompson, he ex-
planning that Mr.. Graves was COM
PEELED to go to California to seek rest
for short time. The understand

such surveys, rights and construc-
tion.
The matter has been taken up
only in a general way, Mr.. Graves
expressing his desire to acquire the
Lewiston and Southeastern field and
being willing to waive any specified
contract until the money had been
secured with which to build the line.

HI REAKFAST the next morning
~ did not pass pleasantly for
D Richard, who began to detest
the role he was assuming
with all his honest American heart
honest until this mad idea of substitu-
ton obsessed him, that is. First of
all, ne wanted to get away by himself
and think the, thing out undisturbed by
troublesome surroundings. He deter
mined to go for long ride-alone, if
possible-and with good horse under
him perhaps his brain would work and
devise some loophole Of escape. Fatu-
GUS dream: There was no loophole
he would palter with the truth no
longer. No! He would speak at once
and get the worst part of it over.
Then he would be free-free from his
own conscience-and she would be
hopelessly and forever lost to him.
Well, he couldn't help it; his heart
would break, but it had to be done.
whatever the consequences to himself
and the heart aforesaid.
Fully determined-so he thought-on
this desperate course. he volunteered
to drive Mr.. Renwyck to the station in
the trap. They would start early and
drive slowly. There would be time.
He would tell the old shark all and
defy him to wreck Bill Williams with
any underhand scheme. He would
claim to have come to 1rvington for
the very purpose of unearthing the con-
spirators. He would join forces with
his dad. and fight Jacob Renwyck in
the open, flinging aside discretion, love.
1t was hard to think all this, and it
would be harder still to say it. AS he
considered it the pendulum of his
thoughts swung to the other extreme.
Could he lay love aside? How sweet

men the committee on railroads in the
legislature agrees with me-"
(Which MEANS suggested Richard
"that the legislature is doing business
at the same old stand.'
Mr.. Renwyck laughed.
'That sounds very American for 8

tie more delicately. The legislature
through this committee can be per
suaded."
"And the other company does not
know this?'
"Not whisper of it,

1T won't. I am certain of those
Texas statesmen. They have been

"But l thought began Richard,
then stopped suddenly, remembering
that he was not supposed to be up in
American railroading affairs.
"Well?"
THAT such matters required much
t1me-red tape-and all that sort of
thing, you know

gentleman, rubbing his hands in antic-
ipated pleasure. "Now, listen. have
devised this opposition scheme myself
and know what I'm talking about. In
just two weeks from now the Hous-

Of course you will respect my conf
dence?"
Certainly"
''Well, this bill will be referred and
forgotten by everybody until the last
minute, when the original bill will be
amended, and the large appropriation
will go to Longmatt, too near the end
Of the session for any change. The
stockholders Of the opposite company
are so certain Of success that their
first mortgage bonds have been issued,
quietly taken up among themselves
and are rising in value every day. Bit

assured the bonds Of the company

PARIS, Dec. Enlarged with
the murder of her husband six
months ago; with the murder OF
Felix Faure, president of France
several years ago-such is the
terrible double accusation against
Nine. Cecile Sorel Steinheil.
The case, full of sensation, is
bound to attract worldwide atten-
ton.
Before President Faure's death,
his intimacy with Nine. Stein.
he'll, wife of Adolphe Steinhcil, a
noted artist, was common talk in
Paris. The president died sudden
ly and after his death it was said
that he had died in Nine. Stein

presidents palace by an under
ground passage, and had been car
ried back secretly to the palace.
1t was further reported that
Faure's sudden end followed a vic.
lent quarrel between himself and
the woman over her proposed at
tendance at a state ball. The pres
ident's wife and daughter, 1t was
said had declared they would not
attend the ball unless he told Nine.
Steinheil to stay away. He went
to her rooms and asked her to do
so, and in an alteration that fol-
lowed he dropped dead of heart
disease.
So ran the story that was told
after Faure's demise. Now it is
charged that she killed him.
Six months ago Adolphe Stein
he'll and his mother in law, Nine.
Japy, were found strangled to
death in their home. Nine. Stein
he'll was bound and gagged, but
not seriously injured. Until very
lately no attempt was made, ap-
parently, to discover the murder
ers. Nine. Steinheil told conflict
ing stories concerning the maraud-
ers who, she said, had attacked
the household, killing her husband
and mother.
A few days ago she was arrest

Jimmy Durkin has been conduct

public for about 10 years and has
come to the conclusion that 1t does
not pay. On some Saturdays and
paydays he has cashed as high as
$4,000 in checks. requiring the
constant attention of one man,
usually Durkin himself. Yet in
spite Of the care exercised bad
checks will be accepted and Jimmy
estimates that his losses in this

hoaored bad check for $65.
