Sad Home Coming.

The body Of the young man of
the Northern Pacific bridge crew,
who was killed last week by a fall
ing timber, was taken home by his
father Monday of this week. The
father, P. j. Murphy Of Denny
Brook, North Dakota, was burden
ed with grief and stated the deceas-
ed was an exemplary young man
and the family was grief stricken
when the message conveying the
sad news Of his death was received.
He was the Oldest of a family of
twelve and had left home and
come west to assist in the care OF
his younger brothers and sisters.
Except what was peccessary for
his living, he sent his money home
every week. Several weeks ago
his parents wrote him asking him
to return for the winter and share
the happiness Of the home he was
helping maintain. He had decided
to remain until the bridge, upon
which he was working, was COM
pleted and then gladden. the hearts
of fond parents by his home COM
ing. But death claimed him first
and now a father is sadly journey
ing east with the body of his son
and heavy gloom hangs 'ore a mod
est North Dakota home where an
ticipated pleasure has given away
to deepest sorrow.

CDN 7 RACT VOID
City'S Contract With Water
Company not Legal.
HAD ENOUGH OF THE LAW
Council PAYS Claim-HaS Had
Enough Law.

The city council met in regular
monthly session Monday evening
and allowed the customary bills.
The event Of the session was the
presentation by Mr.. Jack of a bill
for $1916. 66 for water rent for the
term of one year and eleven months
from the time the negotiations for
municipal ownership of the water
system began, at the monthly con-
tract price of 1888 1-3 per month
The decision of the supreme court
fn invalidation the bond issue vot-
ed had thus left the city precisely
where it was when the first con.
tract with the water company look
ing to its purchase by the city was
made In making the last annual
appropriations for the city govern
ment provision was made for the
creation of water fund, the reven-
ues for which were to be derived
from the rents Of the water system,
but rs the plant was never in con-
troll of the city, there is no water
fund and no other source Of reven-
ue available for the payment of
the water bill.
1t has been urged in legal Offices
that the decision of the supreme
court in declaring the water bonds
invalid because the mayor had no
authority to enter into contract
for any sum exceeding $1,000, ap-
plies also to the contract executed
by Mayor Wax with the granting
of the original franchise to Orchard
& Jack. and that under the court
decision the city does not owe the
water company anything. The
council however, regards the bill a
just one, and it is unlikely that
they will sanction any litigation to
contest the payment of the bill
As was remarked by one of the
counciImen: 1.-The city has been in.
volved in litigation enough to
nearly pay for half the purchase
price of the water system il the
cost had been applied to that pur
pose."

At the close of the regular SER

Sunday morning the pastor refer
red in feeling manner to the re.
cent death of Burt l.. Crosby and
introduced the following brief men,
orial service as a tribute to his
memory. The always beautiful
song, ''Face to Face" was render
ed by the choir in trembling voices.
J. II. Robinson offered the fol-
lowing expression of sorrow for the
one gone from us and Of sympathy
for the bereaved wife and family.
"Having received the sad news
of the death of our dear brother,
Burt L. Crosby, we the mem bers of
the Methodist Episcopal church OF
Grangeville, Idaho, unite in our
expression of deep sorrow that we
shall see him no more in this life.
"God moves in a mysterious
way" and while we, looking
through glass darkly, cannot un-
derstand why one so beloved, so
useful and so faithful is taken away
we can only remember while "pass-
ing under the rod" that it is the
work of Him who doeth all things
WE'LL" That the sorrowing wife
may be sustained and comforted
by the Holy Spirit and that finally
we may all meet where sorrow is
unknown, is the prayer of this
church." This tribute of respect
to the memory of our departed
brother, and of sympathy with the

the clutches of the law he is work
Ing overtime to get the clutches OF
the law upon some Of his fellow
beings. In fact the genitl Doctor
is living two days in one and in
his desire to preserve his property
has to reeort to the exemption law
which provides that among the ex-
emptions . surgeon is entitled to is

troubled career since his advent in
Idaho county and although the
past few month the clouded sky
began to clear and caused him to
wear q cheerful smile, misfortune
has again overtaken him and smote
him down.
Last November the doctor swap
ped horses with one Otto Aichl-

the horses to the Doctors barn
and mounting his own rode home.
In few days Gallogly had him
arrested for grand larceny. The
case came up for hearing and the

The loss of the horse was a great
disappointment and no doubt when
the Doctor was making his profes.

thought often fached through his
mind of how it would add to the

entirely. Many women dip into it and
may do it many times without acquir-
ing the drink habit, but many get
their start there 1t does give them
the taste of liquor and then, with
many of them, the taste for liquor.
Now, the tendency of the Ameri-
can woman is to go to extremes, and
in drinking she over-drinks. 1t is
dangerous for her to touch liquor at
all This is particularly true of the
New York woman, because of the

women do drink. or rather too large
a percentage of them drink, and drink
to excess. II one doubts it let him
go to any of our large hotels and
restaurants any night and look about
him. On every hand you find them
and their sister visitors to New York
drinking. No one thinks anything
about it, and the women think they
are simply doing the proper thing.
Many of them drink just because they
do think that way and many of them
drink because they like the liquor.
Do Not Want to Be Cured
81 have treated in the last eight
years 700 cases of alcoholism, with a
large percentage of women, and 1
found in many cases where the pa
tient was woman that she did not,
deep down in her heart, want to be
cured of the habit. This fact is true
especially in the case of the rich So
ciety woman. She usually comes to
me either at the urgent solicitation
of relatives or friends, or with only
a surface desire to be rid of the
habit. Very few of them honestly
and truly, and with their whole heart,
want to be cured.
For instance, certain woman
came to me for treatment for the
drink habit and seemed sincere indeed.
/ treated her by auto-suggestion, Civ
ing her the suggestion that she could
not lift a wineglass to her lips. She
went away and the very next night

A Silhouette Party.

OF late the prospective bride has

but of all the deluge perhaps the most
practical is a shower of kitchen linen.
A hostess who gave such an affair
recently requested the guests to bring

had assembled she produced all sorts
Of toweling for glassware, pans and
pots. cheese cloth for busters and
small squares of cloth to be hemmed
for dish cloths.
By the time refreshments were
served all the sewing was finished and
there was a goodly pile ready to go in
the bride-elect's chest" Then came a
most novel entertainment-the sill
houette party-which was declared by
all present to be one of the most de-
lightful affairs they had ever attended.
Each person was given small
square of black paper (procured at a
stationer's or picture framer's) and a
pair of scissors, with the instruction to
cut Silhouette of the bride-elect per-

THE New Workers are becoming
hysterical people. They show an
increasing excitability, a dimin-
ishment of self control. This demon
strates itself in all forms of excuses.
Less and less restraint is exercised.
The extreme tension of life here is
showing on the people. One sees
plenty of examples of this in individ-
ual life. A vast demonstration of it
among a mass of the people is OBJ
served in the increasing hysteria of
such celebrations as those of the
night before the New Year. What is
true of the city men is true of the
city women. The increase of drunk
enness is 4 distressing fact 1t is
q natural outcome of the restlessness
the overstriving. the unrestraint of
present day life in New York
This subject is of tremendous i'm
portance. We should know just what
we are confronting, what the future
has in store for us, just where and
how we are threatened. One may
form an opinion as to an increasing
inebriety among women from such ex-
hibitions as those of New Years eve
but beyond that it is not easy to go.
There are no official statistics bearing
on the question. The subject has had
no investigation of scientific value
One cannot speak exactly as to condi-
