CROOK
ALWAYS POPULAR

Every decade witnesses revival
of THE Black Crook" and 1T Will
be welcome news to many of the old
timers to know that this spectacle
is to be seen at the Temple theater
Wednesday, April s. In the neigh
borhood of 40 years ago, when the
graybeards of today were raising
their first mustaches, to witness a
performance of "The Black Crook
was considered to be an event that
should be spoken of only in wills
pers.
Today this Is entirely changed,
and a presentation of the spectacle
! that made our forefathers feel they
were being very naughty is not look
! ed upon in that light at all. The
present production is under the
management of Miller & Plohn, and
while it is said that the outlines OF
the original "Black Crook" have
Ibeen adhered to, SO much that is
new has been infused into 1t as to
make it scarcely recognizable.
The story is the same as that iirs'
| conceived by Charles Barras, it
author, but the version to be used is
the one which was afterwards got
ten up for the majestic revival d
! the spectacle, about 20 years ago
! The musical numbers are all new
many of the scenes, particularly the
transformations, are entirely differ
ent from anything of the kind ever
before sen in THE Black Crook,
and the whole idea of the presenta-
ton has been modernized.
The old style of ballet dancing
has been dispensed with, and the
popular idea of what constitute
stage dancing as exemplified in thu
latter day musical comedy and ex
travaganza has taken its place. II
the Miller & Plohn production TIL
play is divided into four acts and l.
scenes, the most important of which
are the submarine fairy grotto, tn
grand staircase in the castle o
Count Wolfenstein and the transfer
nation scene, called From tn
tropics to the Land of the Midnigh
Sum-"
The scenery is all new, from tn
New York studio of Frank Dodge
the costumes by Holland & Buch
and the electrical effects by Kliege
brothers.

SPRAYING IS RETARDED.
Cold Windy Weather Has Delayed
Orchard Work.

William Mohl, deputy state fruit
inspector for Nez Perez county, left
this morning for Culdesac, from
which point he will make an inspec-
ton of the orchards on Lapwai and
Sweetwater creeks. Mr.. Mohl re-
ports the orchards generally In
much better condition than last
year, but spraying is being carried
on in all parts of the country.
"The weather conditions have
been unfavorable for spraying up te
this time" said Mr.. Mohl, "and fol
that reason the growers are little
behind in this work, but the season
Is also later than usual, which will
permit all features Of the spraying
to be completed in due time"

SERPENT OF AEScULAPIU3.
Worship of Snakes Led to Adoption o.
the Mystical Symbol.

1t has been pointed out by DR.. Bou-
din that The worship of the serpent
was so universal in antiquity that all
temples came to be known as "dra-
coma" (serpent houses.
However that may be, serpents were
kept in many of the temples of an
>tiquity, notably in those of Apollo,
whose son, Aesculapius, is represented
In ancient statuary carrying a serpent
intwined round a staff or round his arm
The serpent, indeed, came in time to
be the special mystical emblem or sym
Dol of the Aesculapian art.
The serpents of the ancient Greek
! temples were in all probability relics
of that primitive serpent worship
which was at one time universal among
prehistoric peoples and has not died
out among many savage races at the
present day.
And "yoodoo," or "obi," serpent wor-
ship Is still said to linger in the West
Indies among the descendants of
slaves.
In Haiti especially, where negroes
were dumped down from Africa by the
old slave traders and were kept in re-
serve before being sold to masters In
the surrounding islands, voodoo has
defied Roman Catholic missionaries
and priests for ages. A French naval
officer who visited the court Of the
Haitian potentate Soulongue in 1S49
described a voodoo ceremony where
cannibalistic and other orgies were in
dulged in.
1t is noticeable that the cock and
black goat which were solemnly eaten
on this occasion were both OF them
sacred to Aesculapius Hence we may
infer that the Aesculapian cultus was
originally an innocent form Of voodoo
and at the same primordial religion.
The extreme antiquity of serpent
worship seems, indeed, to be limited
at In Genesis, where the devil appears
IN the guise of the snake god intent on
the ruin Of man. In the story of the
brazen serpent healing qualities are
attributed to the image.-Lancet.

What Hogan Success Means

The news that this paper publishes in
this issue in regard to the successful
treatment of the ore in the Hogan mine
near Orogrande ought to be very inter-
esting to all mining men everywhere
and most encouraging to prospectors
and property holders in all the districts
in central Idaho. The news will be
particularly interesting to the many
stockholders in the east who have stood
by the property in its varying seasons
Of prosperity and depression, for by the
new appliances and methods in use, and
consequent saving in cost of treating
the ore, all will know that there can be
no failure in the future. To VIM.
Hogan is due all credit for the success
full operation of the mine. To achieve
this end has been Mr.. Hogan's almost
constant thought for four years. He
has studied the ore and the process Of
treating it, until now he understands
both and can put his knowledge to
practical use. He has held on and spent
his time and money when others assoc
ciated with him and better fixed fnanc-
tally lost faith and quit. Mr.. Hogan
has had advice in his work from
a number Of the best chemists and
metaliurgists in the country, and their
reports proved TO Mr.. Hogan that the
value is la the ore, and the cause for
mine not paying was in the manage
ment and treatment,
The success of the Hogan at once
places the central Idaho mining districts
among the accredited gold camps Of Che

interests should snow the country has

A PECULIAR SPIDER.
He Catches Birds as Big as Larks In
His Mammoth Web.

His Mammoth Web.
Far up In the mountains of Ceylon
there is a spider that spins a web like
bright yellowish silk, the central net
Of which is five feet In diameter. while
the supporting lines, or guys, as they
are called, measure sometimes ten or
twelve feet and, riding quickly in the
early morning, you may dash right
into 1T, the stout threads twining round
your face like a lace veil, wlrile, as the
creature that has woven it takes I'D
his position in the middle, he generally
catches you right In the nose, and.
though he seldom bites OF stings, the
contact Of his large body and long legs
Is anything but pleasant. If you for
get yourself and try to catch him. bite
he will, and, though not venomous.
Ills jaws are as powerful as q birds
beak, and you are not likely to forget
the encounter.
The bodies Of these spiders are very
handsomely decorated, being bright
gold or scarlet underneath, while the
upper part is covered with the most
delicate slate cOlored fur. So strong
are the webs that birds the size OF
larks are frequently caught therein,
and even the small but powerful scaly
lizard falls a victim. A writer says
that he has often sat and watched the
yellow monster ~ measuring, when
waiting for his prey, with his legs
stretched out, fully six inches -striding
across the middle of the net and noted
the rapid manner IN which he winds
bis stout threads round the unfortu-
nate captive.
lie usually throws the coils about
the head until the Wretched victim 4
first blinded and then clicked. In
many unfrequentad dark hooks Of the
jungle you come across most perfect
skeletons Of small binds caught III
these terrible snares.

the sudden change having been brought
about by the high winds and the clear
sky the past two weeks. Travel into
the mining districts will be on the in

encouragement for mining here this
year than ever before, and it should
cause no surprise if travel this year be-
comes the greatest in the history of

Speaking of party harmony, it looks
like the kind in Idaho is poor grade
or else there could be more Of it. The
session the democrats had at Twin
Falls was more like worlds champion
ship football game, though the dead
and wounded, if there was any. was not
given in the published reports. The
cloud on the republican horizon appears
not larger than the proverbial mans
hand, but, coming from the source it
does, it is capable Of assuming mann
moth proportions in very brief period
Of time. But it is hardly possible that
either party will go into the campaign
with strife in its own ranks. There
can be no independence of thought or
action if success is to to be won at the
polls, so it may be expected that the
party leaders viii all be as loving as
kittens before the danger point is
reached IN the yote-getting season.

Political Aspifaat in Trouble.

A. w. Brey of Ontario, Monroe coun-
| ty, appeals to Secretary of State Frear
in most unusual predicament arising
out of the primary election law. Mr.. Rrey
is socialist and desires to ran for the
assembly. The law requires that an
assembly candidates petition must be
signed by voters in at least one-sixth
of the voting precincts of the district.
As there are thirty-six precints in
Mr., Brey's district, the minimum num-
ber of signers on his petition would be
six, but another provision of the law
forbids candidate from fling more
than 10 per cent of the party vote as
signatures to his petition. AS the So
cialiSts cast only thirty-five votes in that
assembly district last election, the
maximum limit to the number Of peti-
/ tion signatures under this provision of
the law would be three and half, and
he needs six under the first provisions
Of the law quoted
Therefore Mr.. Brey was up against
abandoning his ambition or facing a
penalty.
Secretary of State Frear answered
his appeal to the effect that the first
provision of the law, requiring one
sixth of the precincts to be represented
on the petition, was to be followed first,
and that in view of the peculiar situa-
ton he felt sure that no penaly could
be imposed if the second part, limiting
the number of signers. were technically
violated, as the law cannot constitutio-
nally bar a maissfrom becoming a can
didate for a nomination.
