CORPSE MADE ROUGH HOUSE
WHEN WIFE DANCED FOR JOY

PARIS, Sept. 21.-A graybeard
married a girl in her teens, and
kept wondering whether she loved
him. Would she weep when he
died, or would she rejoice, and
marry again? He devised grew
some stratagem to find out. He
locked himself In his room, and
waited. After some time his
wife, wondering at his unaccount-
able disappearance, had the door
broken open.
On the bed lay her husband, his
hands crossed, his face white. his
body motionless, apparently dead.
His wife looked at him, concluded
that he was dead, and then danced
a breakdown"
The corpse leaped to his feet
and roared: 80 that Is how you
would grieve for me? Then take
this!" He threw clocks and can
dlesticks at her. She fled. He
smashed all the furniture.

Old sky letons are dragged up in
THE ClaRsman," which showed at
the Spokane last night and will
be repeated tonight and tomorrow
night. A large and enthusiastic
audience ready to applaud every
thing crested the players. There
appears nothing particularly good
about the acting alone. The story
reveals condition of the late SOS
when South Carolina was ruled by
the negro race. Niger" is the
word which finds it's way into al
most every line and it is always
spoken with all the venom engen-
dered by racial hatred. The dia-
logue is cumbersome; the cast is
too large for any actor to be con-
spicuous. There is enough comedy
to break what would prove mo-
notony, and several spectacular
features. The story is a nightmare
of the past. Some few colOred peO-
pie were seated in the balcony and
gallery. They were but a hand
full. The play kindles the old
fame of hatred and were it in as
good hands as some productions
seen here, and the smoldering
antipathy of the races famed. as it
could be, the play might do much
to undo what great students of the
racial problem have done in estab-
fishing the present day relations.

great rivers-she may go to Seattle
or to Portland instead of New Or
leans. She has history bound up
in river navigation, and she must
believe in 1t.
Idaho has not only the possibility
but the prospect of water naviga-
ton to the Pacific through the
Snake, which crosses the entire
southern half of the state from east
to west, forms it's western border
for 800 miles and opens the way
from Idaho Falls to the sea;
through the Salmon, which cuts
across the state about midway
north and south, and flows out
through the Snake, and the Spo-
kane, Pend Oreille and Kootenai,
which drain the panhandle. Thus
we discover that there is no noun
tain state which may not hope for
direct waterways to the ocean. No
doubt this hope will be held by
many as visionary and purely i'm
NATIVE. But those who think SO do
not know of the tremendously valu-
able waterpower that will be gener-
ated by the dams necessary for
the control of these mountain
streams for navigation, and which
will constitute a by product the
sale of which in many cases can be
made to more than pay for the I'M
provement. AS population increases
and fuel becomes dearer, the time
will come when it will pay pri-
vate corporation, if we were foolish
enough to sell our streams, to buy
these rivers of us for the power
they will yield and pay us for them
by making them navigable.
But the interest of the mountain
states in navigation does not rest
in this, perhaps remote, prospect Of
direct lines to the sea by river or
canal. They have nearer and
