Robb Case
Resumed.

examination of Mr.. Hawley, but she
never lost her self possession for a
moment, and when cornered up on
some misstatement where she had
answered inadvertently and wanted
to make corrections, she simply
smiled and admitted that she had
given something that was not cor
rect. She is puzzle to people in
court. Some say she is pretty but
illbred. Some say she Is pretty but
lacking in character Some say she
Is verdant country lassie whose
parents have not given her that train
ing and care that girl needs, while
others scout the idea of her being
verdant, and say she is as smart as
a whip and very discerning.
However, that may be she seems
to have enjoyed great deal of lib
erty and has come and gone about
as she pleased without rendering ac-
counts to parents. She shows no in
dignation at being required to testi-
fy on delicate matters, and the more
embarrassing the moment, the more
apt she is to make light answer
and case it up in smile. If she has
any of woman's hauteur, she has
the power to subdue it and keep it
under cover on the witness stand.
With Miss Robb it is different.
She takes things more seriously and
while she tries to testify mechanical
ly, memories overcome her and one
sees evidence of strong spirit be-
ing crushed under emotion.
An amusing incident occurred this
morning when Miss Matte Bankhead
was called and sworn. She came in
to court dressed in white, carrying a
closed parasol in her hand and wear
ing a merry widow" hat Attor-
ney Holden began by saying: "State
your name, age, residence and occu-
patton" She smiled quickly and re-
sponded frankly. The further testi-
mony was to the effect that Mary
Robb was strong and well on the
morning of June 9th, and was in
great distress when she saw her just
before IL o'clock. She never saw
her again.
i Miss Elizabeth Robb took the
stand this afternoon and related the
conversation between herself and
Mary at the death scene. This testi-
mony fastened the responsibility for
her condition on Nettie and Jack
Sayer, but nothing definite was CIV
en- as to DR.. Mitchell. He did work
for her but just which operation he
performed cannot be proven by Miss
Robb's dying statements

that other similar ones had been
committed and that conditions in To-

of the case, naming some OF his

responsible.
Threats were Immediately made
against his life, and while he was

Guinness Victims Poisoned.

La Porte, Ind, July 30.--Coroner
Mack announced today that DR.. Wal
ter Haines of Rush Medical college
of Chicago, who annalyzed the stom-
ach of Andrew Helgelein of Aber-
deem, s. d., the last victim of Mrs.
Belle Guinness, finding strychnine and
arsenic in fatal doses, has also found
in the stomachs of Mrs. Guinness and
two of the children arsenic and
strychnine in quantities sufficient to
cause death.
AS the result of the finding, the
lawyer this afternoon announced he
would at once prepare to go before
the circuit court and ask for the re-
lease of Lamphere upon a writ of
habeas corpus and reduction Of bail.
Attorney Worden, who represents
Lamphere, charged with the Guinness
murders, and with being an accom-
plice of Mrs. Guinness in the Helge-
lein death, declares that his client
could have had nothing to do with
the death of the woman and chill

FUNCTION OF PRESS.


Journalists Ideal.
There is hardly a newspaper read
er in any community who, In his
own estimation, could not conduct 2
paper better than the local editors
do. And each one Of these literary
geniuses differ as to what a news
paper should be. Some demand that
all the sporting news shall be pub
lished down to the most minute de-
tails; others hold that the full de-
tails of the market report, both local
and foreign, should be printed; 9TH
ers still wonder why some obscure
quarrel which happened late at night
In the lower end of the city was not
reported to the police, while q few
would everlastingly criticise every
public official In the city every day.
These different classes could be
properly educated into the newspaper
business In few years, but the
chances are that they never will be.
for the reason that they are SO sure
they are right that nobody could by
any chance set them right.
Inc IuuCllUu u uCWbRUPSA - ~
print the news--all the news. It Is
impossible in daily paper to cover
every item Of sports or markets be-
cause this would exclude other very
important news in other depart
ments. A newspaper must print the
most important happenings Ia all
departments OF news, and this makes
1t impossible to go into minute de-
tails in any particular department.
But, above al things. a newspap-
er must not be personal In criticism.
1t is necessary sometimes to criti-
else the conduct of individuals and
men In Office, but when this is done
1t is not because the newspaper or
some employe of the news paper has
a personal grudge at the person thus
criticised 1t is because this criti-
cism is in the best interests OF the
community, and any newspaper
which thus criticises merely to salts
fy personal grudge will soon go out
of business. The function of the pub.
lie press is as sacred as the function
of the courts, and IN most cases the
managers and editors of newspapers
keep this fact In view all the time.
Fairness, justice and the truth are
the three things which the journal
list strives after He may miss them
sometimes, but his intentions are

FAILED IN BUSINESS.

Some people wonder why he failed.
He lost all he had and his family were
penniless. People were sorry TOT
them and they were sorry for them
selves, but yet it did no good. lie
went into business without the pro-
per preparation. His education was
not practical, neither did he under
stand modern business methods. The
other fellow got his money, and ne
came down face to face with disaster.
1t is better to be prepared. Ii you
need practical business education
you could do no better than to attend
the Northwestern Business College OF
Spokane for few months, because
here you can learn the modern ways
of doing business and thus save both
time and money. n2Ztl

CONFLICTING accounts are be-
ing published about the proba-
BILE time that the Ceur d. Alene
Indian reservation will be
opened for settlement, and the
prospective settler is kept con
stantly on the qui vive. One
government official, in summing
up the work yet to be done, ar
rives at the discouraging conclu-
sion that the opening will not
take place until 1911. In a con-
temporaneous prediction, based
upon the fact that an agent has
been appointed to begin work at
once allotting tracts to the In
dams who dwell on the reserva-
ton, it is said the reservation
should be ready for settlement
within six months.
The surveys have just been
completed, it is said; the allot-
ments must now be made to the
Indians, then approved, and the
balance OF the land finally
made ready for entry. The peo-
pie, not knowing the length OF
time probably required to open
a reservation, are naturally
growing impatient at the SEEM
ing delay. There should be some
expeditions method OF proce-
dure. Whether there is or not
remains to be seen.

Sunday Law Being Observed.

Prosecuting Attorney {. H. Potts
reports that the Sunday closing law
is being very satisfactorily observed
throughout the county. He believes
the law good one, but thinks it
should be given liberal, rather than
strict construction. He points out
that the law does not prohibit work,
but only applies to certain amuse-
ments and the keeping open of GER
tain places of business for the pur-
poses Of trade. The efforts in some
quarters to enforce the statute in
question against the telegraph and
telephone offices, Mr.. Potts charac-
terizes as extremes resorted to evil
IDENTIFY by its enemies with the object
Of laying the foundation for its re-
peal. Mr.. Potts holds that because
of their interstate character tele-
phones and telegraphs cannot be
made subject to the law, whichis also
the contention of the prosecuting
attorney Of Nez Perez county.
Sheriff Mcdonald is also of the
opinion that the law is good one
if enforced, not extremely, but only
to the extent that the law itself plain
ly provides.
