the question was brought up in another form and at 3 o'clock Lafollette's pur- rsoe had been accomplished a dozen times over by the fact that he has had half an hours rest, waiting for a quorum, whereas the regular proceeding would have given him but a few minutes, the time to take one roll call.
 Worse than this. the democrats are angered over Aldrichs tactics and the day of adjournment is apparently further off than ever, the republicans at this hour being unable to get a quorum.

At l i, o'clock this morning after nearly 12 hours on his feet Senator La Toilette sent word to Senator Stone that he would in all pre- e- bility be able to hold the foo several hours longer, and quested that Senator Stone his strength in order e would be able to take tf...snoor

 While the democratic members
 of the Senate are not in sympathy
 with the filibuster movement in- augurated by Senator LaFollette at the same time they are resent ing the tactics of the republicans
 in seeking to make revolutionary changes in the rules.
 This policy, if continued by the

This is the second death sentence
ever pronounced in Latah county, the
other being that of Frank Smith for
the murder of Fred Fox in Genesee

committed to life Imprisonment.
Judge Warren Truitt, counsel for
Seward, filed a motion in arrest OF

out jurisdiction to try the case, being
based on the fact of the constitutions

What Are ShaIlots?

The "shallOt" has many names
and superfluous they are, too, since
one would suffice for our slight &C
uuaintance "Scallion" and "eschallOt'
are other names for this plant, which
belongs to the onion family, and is
close kin to the garlic. The plant was
originally a native of Askalon, In Pal
estine and was brought by the Cru.
saders into Europe, where it is much
esteemed.
In appearance it is much like the
small, green onion, usually coupled at
the root and very skinny. In flavor,
it is a cross between the rank garlic
and the mild onion-adjectives, how
eve which vary with locality and
taste, from the French chef who, him
self, eats an onion, and then breathes
upon the soup, to the Spanish innkeep-
er whose every dish is smothered in
garlic.
Shallots can not be bought the year
round; grocers keep them only in the
spring and fall, when the fresh, green
onions are not in market. During the
winter, when only the dry, strong
onions can be obtained, fancy cookery
demands the shallot, and for this trade
they are imported.

Quoted on a mule to his mouse. Before she goes
to his house she drives all about town. In some
parts when the bride enters her new home the
bridegroom walks backwards holding a dagger in
his hand and she follows him, touching the piont
of the blade with the tip of her finger.

Whispers: Take courage; you need not fear. He
cannot help but love you; you are sweet, good,
and kind"
Among primitive peoples marriage usually
is more insistent and girls are courted in even
a less romantic manner. Among the Australians
every girl must marry, whether she will or not.
1t is considered wonderfully strange If a girl Is
IL years old and is still unmarried. This is not
because the girls or parents are romantic. but
the parents feel that a girl is only worth the toll
she gives.
THE man" says the Rev. H. c. Meyer, regards
them more as slaves than in any other light.
They are a necessary commodity. valuable only as
long as useful, to be thrown aside after they serve
their purpose"
Worse still, their masters can throw them out
and divorce them at will. The Kafirs buy their
wives with cows and do not pay more than they
can help. A woman no sooner enters her new
home than she is given some task to perform so
her lord can see if he has made a good bargain.
He values her less than his COWS. This is seen
by the fact that he permits her to do all the work
except tend to his cattle and enter the kraal
where they are kept.
