new INSTRUCTOR
AT UNIVERSITY
IS PREPARING FOR
GYMNASIUM AND TRACK ATH-
LETICs - THE TRIANGULAR
MEET BEING THE INCENTIVE

MOSCOW, Jan. 6.-The instruct
orship in gymnasium and track ath-
letics in the University of Idaho has
just been filled by the appointment
of Mr.. Charles E. Dvorak to that po-
sition. Mr.. Dvorak is at present
employed in Spokane and a member
of the S. A. A. C. and doing some
work as instructor there. In his col
lege days as captain of the Michigan
university track team he held
high place in intercollegiate ath-
letics, and later he has had years of
experience as coach for the Turner
clubs in the middle states, and was
coach in the Armour Institute for
one year For several years he held
the intercollegiate pole-vault record.
Idaho varsity has at present an I'M
usual amount of fine material for a
winning track team, and with Mr..
Dvorak's coming practice work will
be taken up at once, and when the
spring field days are pulled off early
in May we have excellent chances of
victory. The triangular meet be-
tween w. S. c., Whitman and Idaho
this year takes place at Pullman,
and will be the scene of hard
struggle for the first count. Last
year Idaho made rather poor show
ing in this event.
Mr.. H. G. Bowen, a gentleman
who has had some years of expert
ence as leader of military bands and
in orchestra work comes to the uni
versity as director of the university
band and orchestra. At present Mr..
Bowen is connected with Kirsch-
ner's Spokane band as cornet SOLO
list. He is proficient on other in
struments as well and will at once
begin the task of getting his organ
izations in the university into
shape.
The Borah debating prize of $50
annually has just been established
at the university The prize Is to
be used for the purchase of debating
reference books which will accumu-
late wear by year and will bear the
names of the winning team. This
university debating l'brary supplied
in our neighboring states by public
arnroDriation is thus furnished
Idaho through the generosity oil
Senator Borah.

Beauty Not an Essential

Said a large employer OF girls the
other day: Experience has taught
me that it is very unw,se to hire a
very misunderstanding stenogra-
pher. I find that she soon becomes
the center of admiration for the
men clerks, and the greater part OF
her time is spent in "jollying" with
them. For that reason l choose
bright but unattractive-looking
girls and find that they accomplish
nearly twice as much work. In
sist. also that the girl shall live at
home, with her parents"
The outcome of the second trial
of Harry K. Thaw for the murder
of Stanford White is causing a
great deal of speculation. Thaw.
however. expresses confidence OF his
acquittal. and on Christmas day,
which was his second N Jail. gave
presents to all his fellow inmates,
and The men who guard him. and
expressed the thought that the next
holiday season would find him free
man. Thaw presented to each of his
keepers box of cigars, and Irish
Lewiston evening teller. [volume] (Lewiston, Idaho) 1903-1911, 1908-01-06

lace handkerchiefs to the matrons.
To every inmate he gave two cigars
and a box of cocoa and half dozen
Jumps of sugar. Thaw is very fond
of cocoa, and thinks it has done him
lot of good since he has been In
Jail. Thaw did not have the usual
prison fare for his Christmas dinner,
but had a specially-prepared feast
sent down from Delmonico's, the
fashionable Fifth avenue restaurant.
Pace is Too Swift
The Simple life" for busy New
Workers. is the edict that has just
gone forth from the board of health,
and they have figures TO prove their
demand. The great increase in the
number of deaths due to organic
heart disease is the immediate cause
for alarm. New Workers are going
at too swift a pace, declares Com
missioner Darlington, and it will be
well for them to put on the brakes
and slow down. Worry, intemper-
ance and lack of exercise are the
causes assigned, among others, for
the remarkable increase that the
statistics show over other years. In
1907 there were 1900 more victims
of heart disease than in 1906. 1t
has also be found that as a rule 1T
was the out-and-out American that
succumbed to this Action; the we'll
to-do business or social man and
woman that went down under the
strain of weakened heart.
Where Custom Proved Amusing
In one of the weekly papecs that
is published on Staten Island the
following card of thanks appeared
the other day at full advertising
rates:

A new directory just published,
giving the names of the members of
the leading clubs of New York, re-
veals the fact that there are 10000
men who are connected with one
club or another. The clubs. as a
rule. are confined to certain quar-
tiers of the city, one of the best
known of these sections being
Tortv-fourth street, between Fifth
and Sixth avenues. Crowded within
this small block are some of the

COUNT AOKI
SAILS FOR HOME
JAPANESE AMBASSADOR WILL
SAIL FOR HOME BEING RE-
CALLED TO DISCUSS AMERI-
CAN CONDITIONS

SAN FRANCISCO. Jan. g.
Among the names on the passenger
list OF the steamer Manchuria,
which will sail tomorrow for Japan,
is that of Viscount Aoki, the Jap
anese ambassador to the United
States. He will be accompanied by
Viscountess Aoki. The ambassa-
doris original intention was to take
the Seattle route, but in Difference
to the wishes of his wife and be-
cause of the latter's health the plans
were changed. Viscount Aokf has
not been formally recalled, but
goes home in response to a summons
from his government for a discus
sion of conditions in America affect
ing the interests of the Japanese.
It is unlikely that he will return
to the United States. His successor
will be Kogoro Takahira. former
minister to the United States and
present ambassador to Italy.
Takahira was one OF the japanese
delegates to the Portsmouth peace
conference, held in this country in
the summer of 1905, when the
treaty of peace which settled the
Russo-Japanese war was negotiated.
Mr. Twakoshi. the chancellor of the
embassy. will accompany Ambassa-
dor Aoki on the Manchuria.

NATIONAL BANKS
ARE BARRED
AVAIL THEMSELVES OF
NEW LAW IN OKLAHOMA,
WHICH CANNOT BE EXTEND
ED TO NATIONAL BANKS

WASHINGTON, Jan. 6.-The ma
tional bankers of Oklahoma can ex-
pect no aid from the controller of
the currency in the effort to compete
with state banks which insure their
depositors.
Attorney General Bonaparte has
declined to pass on the question as
to whether under the law the ma
tional bankers of Oklahoma may
avail themselves of the invitation in
the state law, and in the absence
of an opinion from that authority
that they may, Controller Ridgely
will not assume the responsibility of
conceding them that privilege.
Controller Ridgely, it may be said.
while disposed to give the Oklahoma
national bankers all the assistance
compatible with the law, is himself
opposed to the principle of guaran-
teeing bank deposits, and therefore,
even though Oklahoma national
tiers, as many of them have threat
ened to do. Controller Ridgely will
not recommend the passage of law
which would authorize them to par
ticipate in the benefits of any state
law.
Controller Ridgely is of the opin-
ion that the principle of insuring
bank deposits. whether in national
or state banks, is wrong. He believes
it would lead to wildcat banking
and deprive the honest and conserv-
alive banker of an advantage right
w due him. In this position Mr..
RidgeTy does not agree with his pre-
decessor, Charles G. Dawes, who,
while not advocating the govern
ment guarantee of bank deposits,
believed that the national banks
ought to be REQUIRED to set aside a
/ fund to insure their depositors.

WESTERN LIFE IS PORTRAYED
"ToId in the Hills" Powerful Mel
odrama at Temple January 10.

LAS Told in the Hills" a power
full meIodrama of Western life, will
be the attraction at the Temple
theater January 10.
The overworked expression,
Three hours of thrills and laugh
ter" applies to this new play truth
fully; but It fails to do justice to
the true merit of the production in
that 1t gives no idea of the clever
originality of the plot or the skill
of the dramatfst, Mr.. C. Sim, in it's
development.
In the prologue of the play. the
trials of party of emigrants beset
by hostile Indians are shown in a
graphic manner, during the fight
which takes place there. Red Wolf,
the chief of friendly tribe. who is
with the party, is morta1Iy wound
ed. and James Howard and his wife
adopt the infant daughter OF the
chief. taking her to their home in
Arkansas, where they rear her as
their own child with their own
daughter, Texas Howard Just be-
fore Red Wolf DIES he turns over

trust for Pamnena. the Indian girl

immediate division of the fortune,
which Howard refuses. and follow

tries to kill Howard, his partner. he
is sentenced to prison. Little Fox,
the Indian boy, who has been a
friend of the Towards, returns with
them and with Towards daughter
and Pamnena he has the best of ed
ucational advantages. In the next
scene, IS years later, Jim Dexter has
escaped from prison and returned
to the Arkansas farm adjoining

partner In revenge for his long Inn

Howard is taken by mistake. She is
recovered, however. mainly through
the efforts of Little Fox, and justice
is meted out to the conspirators.
Although interesting and ex-
tremely thrilling at all times. the
play is not one of the kind that de-
ponds on cheap sensationalism for
its effects, and in its strong cli-
makes there are no absurd situa-
lions that in real life would be inn
possible. Clean and refreshing COM
edy is a prominent feature in the
plav. and generous number of
good specialties are introduced with
effect.

She Married Osborne to Avoid Being
 Welded to Noblsman.
 New York, Sept 1s-Papers made public after Justice Gerard had made final the decree annulling the marriage of Helen Maloney, daughter of Martin Maloney. Philadelphia millionaire and papal marquis, to Arthur Her bert Osborne show that one of her reasons for consenting to ceremony with Osborne before a justice of the peace was that she feared her parents would take her to Europe and induce her to wed one of two men of title who were suitors for her hand Miss Maloney later eloped to England with Samuel Clarkson.
 In the papers filed in the case 1t was plainly stated that Osborne's and Miss Maloneys meetings were always in the presence of a chaperon and that they did not regard each other or act toward each other as man and wife.
 Miss Maloney is now free to wed Clarkson should she choose to do so. One of the reasons why the application for her final decree was postponed was because the question has not yet been decided by the papal court in Rome as to whether an annulment of marriage granted by the civil courts will place Miss Maloney in the posi- ton of an unmarried woman and ena- ble her to again marry without violat. ing the tenets of the Roman Catholic church,

Railroad traffic statements are showing the effects of most severe economics, which must necessarily be reflected in reductions in the net returns of the large railroad sys- tens, and 1t is to be hoped that the economies will not be carried to the point of actual injury to the prop critics, says Banker Clewes. Trade conditions are slowly improving and will probably continue 10 improve; but business affairs are still far from normal. Imports are making a better showing, on Wednesday the largest single days customs revenues since January having been collected at the port of New York, while the average receipts so far in Septem- Der show distinct improvement over August. Exports are also looking up somewhat, the value of domestic products exported in August being $46,314,796, comparing with $44,- 967.045 in August. 1907. and s4S,- Ss5,9s2 in August, 1906, while so far for the calendar year the value is s676,455.500, as against $555.- 0S0,711 one year ago and $b04,- lSS,263 two years ago. There IS, however, a large trade international balance due this country, and with the foreign banks we'll stocked with gold any substantial advance i'll money rates here will attract the precious metal, especially as the sea- son of active exports of our grain and cotton is so closely at hand The market of the immediate future promises active fluctuations and will probably be successfully taken ad- vantage of by the nimble trader. The fact should be kept actively in mind. however, that the price range Is high and caution cannot De too strongly urged.
