Donovan to Face Serious CHARGE

John Donovan, who was shot by Mrs.
Q. F. Allen, who, it is alleged, he was
attempting to assault at the time he
was shot, has sufficiently recovered from
the effects of his wounds to be removed
from the hospital to the county Jail.
His trial will propably come at this
term of court.
Donovan claims to be innocent of the
charge against him. He admits that he
was in an intoxicated condition, but has
no recollection as to how be came to be
in the home of Mrs. Allen, whom he
claims to have known for several years
and had always thought of with the
highest respect. Donovan alleges that
he has never before figured in any Grim
inal offense and that his reputation in
various towns where he has lived will
bear him out in this particular. He
expressed a desire that he might see
Mrs. Allen and secure her forgiveness,
adding that as liquor had been the cause
of his disgrace, he intended to swear off
entirely Northern Idaho News.

Men Should Brush Their Hair Nor

Men Should Brush Their Hair More.
Very few men brush their hair
enough" said downtown barber.
"Fact. Most ills of the scalp can be
traced to that fault. You see it's this
way: man is generally in a hurry
when he dresses, and he never takes
time to brush his hair-simply smooths
it down. generally only with a comb
and as a result dandruff is allowed to
accumulate and trouble begins Now,
with Il woman it's different. A woman
has to carefully brush her hair at least
once day. If she didn't it would be
d pretty mess. It's very length saves
her, for in brushing it each day she
gets out all sorts of impurities; dan
druff and the like, all of which is for
her own good. Now, that is the chief
reason why fewer women suffer from
dandruff than the unfortunate men,
bers of the opposite sex. and it is also
the reason why the hair is woman's
browning glory even if she is fair,
fat and forty. So brush your hair
every morning thoroughly if you want
to keep in the swim '-Philadelphia

Postal Savings Banks

By Wills j. Abpott
| note with interest the Postofflce
Department is sending throughout
the United States certain Of It's off,
cials, addressing meetings of postmas-
ters in favor of a postal savings bank
system. For example, only three or
four days ago, Inspector @. B. Keane,
OF Washington, d. G., addressed a
meeting Of 200 postmasters gathered
at indianapolis on this subject.
Now the postal savings bank has be-
come distinctly political issue. 1t
is recommended In the Republican
national platform and incidently was
put there to head off the declaration
In favor of the guaranty Of bank de-
posits which everyone knew would be
made In the Democratic platform.
But until the people have spoken on
this issne, what right has the Post
oiIice Department. to send out Its en-
ployes, urging upon lesser employees
political activity in behalf Of a parti-
san proposition?
DEMOCRATS OFFER GUARANTEE
The Democratic party is offering
the guaranty system proceeds ON the
theory 1t is better to encourage people
to put their money into the local
banks by making deposits In those
local banks absolutely safe. The Re-
publican program woald destroy the
smaller banks by gathering the saw
Ings Of the people into the Postofflce
Department, thence to be poured into
the Golfers Of the big and the favored
banks.
Under the postal bank system un-
counted millions would be at the SER
vice Of the Government and would be
sought by such banks as the National
City or Standard Oil Bank Of New
York or the First National Bank Of
Chicago.
The value of that line which the big
banks put on their stationery, UNIT
ed Stated Depositary,n would become
enormously more valuable, and the
little banks, which are close to the
people and therefore serve the people
best, would be driven out OF exis-
tence.
The great bankers oppose the guar
anty because they know 1t would be
an encouragement and the very
breath Of life to the small banks.
They applaud postal savings banks
because they see clearly the money
deposited with the Postmaster would
ultimately end up in their Golfers.
