Francis Joseph, the aged emper-
or of Austria-H Hungary, is the only
living sovereign who can boast Of
having led an army in actual COM
bat with an enemy. 1t was few
months before the ascension of
Francis Joseph in 1s48 that he
turned the fortunes Of the day at
the bloody battle Of Santa Lucia
by a magnificent cavalry charge led
in person by the then nineteen
year-old archduke. His dragons
crashed through the squares of the
Sardinians and captured the guns
which all day long had poured a
murderous fire into the Austrian
ranks. He escaped without a
scratch, though men fell like flies
around him.-Providence Journal.

BILL INTRODUCED BY FRENCH
Would Permit Idaho to Select
Forest Lieu Lands.

Congressman French on Feb. IA
introduced Ia the House of Repre-
sentatives the folio wing bill of which
he has sent the TRIBUNE COPY:
A BILL Authorizing States and
Territories To select lands 10 lieu of
lands included within forest reserves.
BE 1t enacted by the Senate aud
House of Representatives of the
United States of America In Congress
assembled, That 10 lieu Of sections
sixteen and thirty-six of the public
domain, which have been granted to
States or Territories for educational
purposes, and which may be included
within forest reserves, whenever the
public lands available for lieu selec-
tions shall not represent cash value
equal to the minimum price at which
lands so granted shall be sold accord
ing to the provisions of the law
authorizing the grant. then and
thereupon the several States and
Territories shall be authorized To
make lieu selections from forest re-
serves OF such lands as may be agreed
upon by the Department of Forestry
and the State or Territory to which
the land grants may have been made:
Provided, however, that no State or
Territory shall select lands not l0cat-
ed within its own domain.
Mr.. French points out that Idaho
has about 1000, 900 acres of public
school land In forest reserves and
under the provisions OF his bill the
school lands could be so contiguous
that the state could sell them ulti-
mately and obtain for the public
schools the moneys which rightfuily
belong to them.

Spirit Lake Regulations are Very
Strict.

Strict.
There have been several persons
here seeking locations for gambling
resorts. Two or three Of the people
succeeded in getting started with
their games In small way. These
joints have now been ordered closed
by the trustees and to remain closed.
The trustees and townspeople general.
ly are demanding the strictest regu-
lations in regard to gambling and the
liquor traffic aud other businesses of
like nature. and will see that the
ordinances, which are very strict, are
fully enforced, aud In fact additional
regulations are demanded that will
make the requirements prohibitiye.
The proprietors Of the two hotels
now here, which are operating bars
in connection Herewith have disap
pointed the people generally, and
rather than have any more such in
stitutions enter the city the sale of
liquor may be entirely prohibited,
aud inasmuch as the ladies have the
right of suffrage, in this case there is
no doubt but that the issue would
carry overwhelmingly.
The people here are demanding the
most model town possible and the
trustees are heartily in accord with
the townspeople, and will use their
best efforts to enforce their demands.
Much interest is being displayed in
the proposed Panhandle ball league.

The Deafness Of Fish.

Much controversy has taken place
on the question of the sense Of hear

have been tried with a view of set
tlingit. Some of the latest of these
are those of which M. Marage has
given an account in the Paris
Complies Rendus. The fish expert
mented with were carp, tench, pike,
eel and others, and the author finds
no evidence of sense of hearing.
