.COSGROvE TO
LEAVE STATE
UNLESS GOVERNOR-ELECT IS
ABLE TO RETURN FOR IN
AUGURAl, MEAD WILL CON-
TINUE IN OFFICE.

A dispatch from Pomeroy. Wash,
today announces that s. G. Co.'S
grove, governor-elect, will leave
Friday for California in an attempt
to recover his health. He will be
accompanied by his wife and a
doctor.
Every effort has been made to
conceal the fact that Cosgrove is
seriously i'll with organic disease,
but the truth is now no longer dis
puted. and this probably means
that Governor Mead will continue
in Office possibly until the next
state election.
During the campaign 1t was
quietly predicted that Cosgrove
would not likely survive to be
elected in the event of his election.
BY heroic effort he managed to
make personal campaign before
the primaries, but he never was
well In that time, and for period
was in actual danger. He was un-
able to make a campaign after the
primary.
Under the state constitution, the
governor In Office holds over until
his successor Is qualified. 1t Is
also provided that the governor
elect can take the oath of office
anywhere in the state, but not out
side the state. In order to be able
to qualify, Cosgrove must return to
this state before January l. His
friends are not hopeful that he will
be able to return.
Governor Mead has held an ex-
tended conference with Cosgrove
at Pomeroy, at the conclusion of
which he announced. that he would
be guided by Cosgrove's wishes in
the conduct of the Office from now
on. This Is accepted as an indica-
ton of Cosgrove's surrender of
hope of filling the office, that he
has made an arrangement with
Mead for the latter to avoid any
thing that might embarrass Cos.
grove In the event that he is able
to take the office, but which will
leave Mead free II Cosgrove is
compelled to give up his hope of
actually occupying the executive
chair.

SERVIA ON EVE
OF CIVIL WAR

VIENNA, Nov. 11.--Reports from
Belgrade today say that Servia is
on the verge of civil war as the re-
suit of insistent demands that
King Peter abdicate In favor OF
Prince George.
This will be in the nature Of a
step toward the punishment of the
present regime for what the people
consider serious errors in the pres
ent crisis.
Servia's army Is divided In SEN
timent between the two factions.
Servia is trying to act as peace
maker, but advocates the abdica-
tion of the king, offering him an
income for the loss of his throne.

speate4 Corrsspoadsncs to me rrsss
DENVER, Nov. 1.-THE sheer
grit of Olive Kern, society girl,
saved her own life and two other
lives IN one of the fiercest storms
that ever swept the Rocky noun
tains.
It was bright, sunny afternoon
when Miss Kern and her mother
left Denver recently for North
Cheyenne canyon, above Colorado
Springs, to attend bungalow
house party. They were lightly
clad, for the temperature was that
of spring day.
At Bruin Inn they were met by a
male escort, and the three started
on up the mountain, mounted on
burrds. Late in the afternoon the
storm swooped down on them--a
white. roaring blizzard, with peit-
Ing hall and driving snow. Utterly
unable to see their way, the three
gave rein to the burros. These
managed to keep to the mountain

NASTY CHURCH
SCANDAL

ALAMEDA, Cal, Nov. 1.-The
failure of every clew to lead to the
whereabouts of Edna Clark, the
missing art student, today caused
her mother to abandon all hope Of
ever seeing her alive. ~
Official probing Of the alleged
scandal in the Church of st. Mary
the Virgin began late today. The
bishops court will investigate the
charges that Rev. Payson had
Rugged and kissed Edna in the Sc
clusion of his study, and that the
rector similarly consoled other
women of his congregation.
The rector will probably appear
in his own behalf.

SIX KILLED. IN
WRECK

DENVER. Nov. 11.-Reports
from Borie. near Cheyenne, today
say that six persons were killed
and three injured In q freight
wreck.
The wreck was caused by the
extra freight train crashing Into
the caboose OF another train.
Engineer Schoe, Conductor MUIR
ply and Fireman Christensen are
among the dead. 1t is thought
there are four more people in tina
wreckage. i
The collision occurred on the
Union Pacific IL miles west OF
here.

paths, and their riders were spared
a fall of a thousand feet down some
beetling cliff, but they found no
shelter.
At last Miss Kern realized that
to keep on meant exhaustion and
death, and she halted her compan-
ions beside a big boulder. Behind
this they crouched, sheltered in a
measure from the fury of the
storm. Their clothing had been
drenched and frozen and soon the
sleep of death threatened the little
party.
But Miss Kern forced the slum-
Der from her eyes, and kept her
companions from succumbing to it.
She compelled them to keep NOV
ing their half frozen limbs in order
to keep their blood circulating. and
when dawn came, bringing with it
a rescue party, all were still alive.
1t was close call, and that they
live to tell the story is due to the
heroism OF the girl.

him down upon the floor, where he
fumed and cursed, when the Of
ficer arrived.
The knife had been taken away
from him in the struggle by
Nichols, who gave it up to the Of
ficer. Albino, pending further In
vestigation, was booked for drunk
enness and will be tried on that
charge. 80
In the meantime the police will
try to learn further facts In con-
nection with his attempt to get
money from Nichols by threats.
Theh fact that Albino demanded
money, yet having SIG when
searched at headquarters, would
indicate that that Is the way he
got his money.
Little is known of the man. He
is dressed in the rough clothing Of
a railroad laborer, but his hands
are soft and unsoiled by hard work.
This fact, added to other theories
the police have, leads to the belief
he may know something about the
BLACK Hand" society or rs q
member, and furnish clew to tha
murderers Of Santaro.

ed, and they wanted it very much.
The girl looked rather young, but the
gentleman made affidavit that she
was over eighteen and received the
license. Then they sought out Judge
Stevens and were made one. Then
they departed, and in an hour or so
lady came in looking for her fifteen
year old daughter who had run away

Affidavit of Circulation.

Byrd Trego, Editor of The Idaho
Republican, first being duly sworn,
deposes and says that the average
circulation of the Republican for the
year 1907 was 1881 copies weekly.
That the actual subscribers who take
the paper and pay for it, or agree to
pay for it during the year, is about
seven per cent less than the number
of papers actually printed and used
or circulated, a number being sold,
sent to other newspapers in free ex-
change for their publications, fur
nished to schools and other public or
semi-public institutions free, and
some printed extra to supply papers
claimed to have been lost in the
mails and for other incidental de-
mands. Therefore the actual de-
livered circulation for the year, ex-
elusive of all papers lost, wasted, do
mated or destroyed was 1905 copies
weekly.
