The year is peculiar in LAYING three

one. two or three the sets separated by
an interval of nearly six months. If one

they come two weeks apart: If three, the
first and third are solar, one month apart
and the second is lunar at the full moon

Musical Recital of Merit.

An attractive concert will be
given Wednesday, May 20. by
three prominent musicians of Boise
Miss Howard, pianist; Miss Val
lery, vocalist, and Miss Brakel,
violinist. These young artists
have met with great success in
their musical efforts and show in
thahighest degree the value Of the
instructions given by their eminent
teachers. They have large and
attractive repertoire and their con-
cert will be of more than usual in
terest to lovers of music. Miss
Howard has been for several years
a student of Walton Perkins, di-
rector of the Chicago conservatory,
and her playing has been received
with much appreciation before
critical and discriminating audi
ences. She is a pianist of fine tech
nical requirement and player
whose temperamental force is that
of a thoroughly artistic nature.
rAIiss Vallery IS pupil OF the cele-
brated artist, Herman Devries of
Paris, pupil of Gounoud. Her voice
is a dramatic soprano of large range
and sympathetic quality, and her
ease of manner and intelligent in
depreciation always give pleasure
to her hearers. Miss Brakel is we'll
known as concert violinist
through the central states, being a
pupil of Leopold Kramer, concert
master of Thomas orchestra of
Chicago. Her playing is brilliant
and combined with a charming
stage presence, makes her one of
the best in her art.

Mr. Darrn is ready to combat the claim of the
defence that T. Jenkins Hains did not draw his
revolver until after the shooting by the
production OF dozen witnesses who will testify
that the contrary is true. He said that Captain
Hains had already begun to feel the consequences
OF his act and feeling his situation SO
keeniy that. irrespective of whatever course the
law might take. the captain already being
punished for his act. Associate counsel TO push
the case against the brothers may be sought by
Mr Darrin but he said that he would conduct the
case himself without assistance unless he got an
additional appropriation
He would not say whether he would try to per-
suade Mrs Hams TO come here to testify AS there
are reports that she is willing to forget her differ
ences with her husband and testify in his behalf
the prosecution probably will be afraid OF her
testimony as the defence appears to be. A friend
OF Mrs Hains said yesterday that by the time the
trial came she would feel fl her duty to him and
her children 10 come the aid of her husband
