PETTIBONE CASE NEARS END
Defense Will Submit Case to Jury
Without Argument.

On December 26, Judge Wood,
trying the Pettibone case at Boise,
denied the motion of the defense
to instruct the jury to acquit the
defendant. The trial was then
resumed, Clarence Darrow making
the opening statement of the de-
fense to the jury. Too sick to
stand, Darrow made his statement
while seated in a chair. He said
the defense expected to prove the
innocense of Pettibone and to
prove that Orchard killed Steunen-
berg on account of the alleged loss
of his interest in the Hercules
mine during the Coeur d'Alene
riots.
Darrow has since become so i'll
that he was forced to retire from
the case as chief counsellor for the
defense and has gone to San Fran
cisco.
On Tuesday Judge Hilton, who
took Darrows place as leading at
torney for the defense, sprung a
surprise by announcing that the
defense would submit its case
without argument and without in
Producing any further testimony
declaring the state had failed te
connect the defendant with the
crime charged. Senator Borah To-
the state asked for recess to con
slider the proposition, and Judge
Wood adjourned court until Thurs
day morning.
Pettibone's illness has become
serious; his ultimate recovery il
doubtful, and it is feared that hi
condition will bring his trial tt
an abrupt close.

NATIONAL POLITICAL PUZZLE
Conundrums Without Answers at
Washington, D. c.

Washington, D. c., December 2s-.
Between the holiday season and ella
Grippe" the political world in Wash
ington has been so occupied as to
leave little time for aught else. There
are no new developments but the
problem is growing more puzzling, II
anything, and one hears many queries
on every side whicn even the most
astute seem unable to answer salts
factorily. The New York situation
commands the most interest and is
the subject of most speculation in
Washington, naturally. For instance,
why should the friends of Governor
Hughes of New York resist the efforts
of loyal Republicans to indorse the
administration of President Roose-
velt in the same resolution in which
they declare for Hughes for the
Presidency? If Hughes does not
stand for the Roosevelt policies, but
is the. representative of the anti
Roosevelt, pro-corporation faction Of
the party-as most of the friends of
the President believe-how can he
nope to be the Presidential nominee,
or hope to be elected If nominated?
Governor Hughes does not, by any
means, constitute the whole of the
Republican catechism. Senator For
aker has managed to contribute some
interesting chapters and the answers
are not as yet forthcoming. Why
| did not Senator Foraker make the
race merely for reelection to the
Senate and leave the Presidency
alone? He must know that he stands
absolutely no chance of securing the
Presidential nomination, say the
wseacres, and why should he seek u
prevent another of Ohio's favoritt
sons from being President? A dog
in-the- manger policy is the answe
suggested to this last query by man
of the most prominent Republican,
in Washington, and under such cir
cumstances will not the people o
Ohio repudiate Mr.. Foraker? the.
ask. And again, it Is not at all ap
parant to politicians in this city VIII
Mr.. Foraker persists in making wa
on the policies of President Roosevelt
These are few of the conundrum
heard everywhere in political circles
and correct answers would be mos
gratefully received.
According to statistics presented /
the official canal record. just receive
in Washington, no such work ha
ever been done before as Col Goethal
has been doing on the 1sthmus.
is shown, for instance, that ever

St. Maries Enthusiastic

A news dispatch says a meeting
of the Booster club and enthusias-
tic citizens of St. Maries, held

animous sentiment in favor OF St.

race in the coming election. A
motion to instruct the chair to APP
point a committee of three to con-
fer with the people of Rathdrum,
the present county seat, was car
ried. S. L. Mcfarland was the
chairman chosen and said he
would announce the committee the

the center east and west on north side,
and on the east bank of q little stream
that runs across the North West corner
of land. 1t Is never failing sesGam,
and comes from springs about half
mile from west side of farm. This
farm is practically all pillow land, but
there is only about 80 or so acres under

meadow and pasture. The buildings
consist of an L house with four rooms
below and two sleeping rooms upstairs,
and q good cellar, q hog house, l6x40
x6 feet divided into five seperate apart
ments and an alley on the back side SO
as to let the hogs into any pen de-
sired. This was built about FIVE years
ego and has cement floor, all in good
repair; also double corn crib 22x32xl0
with drive way In center. This was
built three years ago. The barn is 36x
7Ox16 feet. Sets on one of the finest

ment has room for 8head Of horses, and
in the balance Of the basement there are

with two or three places inclined to
sand. # this farm can be sold before
March lst, 1900, Seventy Five Dollars
an acre will buy it, after that the price
will be raised to 85 per acre. AS to
terms we will be very liberal, but would
require from one third to one half the
purchase price down, and balance could
be paid In yearly installments with the
current rate of interest.

Ii the republicans should nominate
safe" man for the interests, as
they are practically certain to do,
these interests would gladly spend
two or three millions Of dollars in
the democratic national convention
to prevent the two-thirds vote nee.
essary> to nominate Mr.. Bryan. They
could not make better investment
of their ,no6ey. 1t would be the
best investment they have made
since they raised five millions Of
dollars the last few days Of the 1896
campaign TO buy five states to beat
Bryan.
Iowa DEMOCRATS must do their du-
ty. A delegation must be sent to
Denver that is known to be incor-
ruptible; a delegation composed of
men of ability who are able to take
the floor and fight to finish any
attempt of the corporation element
to get control. They must be men
who have always been right; as past
record is the best guaranty of future
conduct. They must be pledged,
for that is the only way to guarantee
the rank and file that its interests
will be subservcd.

! A Time for Vigilance Instead of Over
Confidence.
From the Democrat, Chronicle

The over-confdence of Bryan dem
ocrats is something alarming. They
are cock sure that Bryan will be
nominated unanimously and that he
will be elected. Their confidence
arises from lack Of knowledge OF
politics. They done seem to know
that the corporation democrats are
and have been for the past year as
bnsy as bees. They are now bring
ing out favorite son candidates in
every state they can to divide the
Bryan vote in the convention.
In New York they have brought
out Chandler; in Delaware, Gray;
in Virginia, Daniels: in Ohio, Har-
mon; in Minnesota, johnson; and
wherever they can influence the local
situation they are going to do SO
The object is apparent to any man
who has made study of politics.
II they can make it appear on the
on the first ballot that Bryan is a
weak candidate they will begin on
delegations that are not instructed
to influence them for some other
candidate. What cannot be infu-

An anxious inquirer wants to
know why the democrats do not get
busy on one side or the other Of the
fight between the Allison and Cum.
minis forces. There are at least two
reasons why democrats should view
this struggle from seat in the
grand stand. The first and best
reason is became the fight is not
theirs, and because they desire tc
husband their resources for the fight
which will be theirs, when they en-.
ter the arena to contest for suprem.
acy with the successful republican
candidate. And another reason why
many democrats are silent specta.
tors, is because they are conditioned
somewhat similar to the sailor, who
refused to express al opinion about
either Heaven or Hades, on account
of his belief that he had friends in
both places.
