WHEELER'S CONTEMPT CASE.

Editor w. e. Wheeler, of The Ida
no Register, was cited by the court
to appear and answer for publishing
an article In which he left the i'm
preston that Judge Stevens had
made improper remarks in the pres
'ence of jury empanneled to try a
case, and such remarks as would
have tendency to influence the YER
dict of the jury; that the remarks
were made in discussing political
matters and were damaging to Mr..
Brady who was defendant in the
case.
Mr.. Wheeler asked for a week s
time in which to answer the charge,
and on Monday of this week he ap-
peared before the court at St. An
thony, and through his attorney, O..
10. McCutcheon, stated that he had
not intended to make any reflection
on the court, and that If the court
SO construed it he was sorry, and was
willing to make such reparation as
he could.
Mr.. McCutcheOn stated further
that his client was natural fighter,
and that the article in which the OBJ
jectionable paragraph appeared was
quite lengthy and was written In

anese welcome and the warmth of
their hospitality, there would have
been instant agreement that the sub
jects on which we are in accord far
outnumber and outweigh those on
which we may have slightly different
opinions.
At dinner rendered by the city of
Toxic to the American guests three
hundred leaders of Japanese thought
including many high officials, were
present. Large numbers seemed to
fully understand the English lang
uage and the responses to sentiments
of good feeling between the two ma
lions were instantaneous and enthu-
siastic.
The lake near which the palace is
situated, is a famous fishing water,
containing large numbers of a fine
little Japanese perch. Here, in this
beautiful garden, the empress is ac-
customed to spend much of her time,
and occasionally she enjoys fishing
for the little inhabitants of the rocky
pools. No American small boy could
Withstand the opportunity which this
nearby pond afforded for bit of
sport. 1t was remarked that Charlie
seemed to be catching surprising
number of the fishes and on investi-
CATION it developed that there had
been judicious tip quietly furnish
ed by the employee charged with the
duty of feeding the fishes, by which
he was encouraged to forget to feed
them. The sport thereupon greatly
improved.
There is fascination about Japan
which is felt by every traveller with
in her borders. Here may be seen
strange oriental customs adapted to
the modern life of this busy age. Her
prompt adoption of the best in the
civilization of the younger west is
brilliant indication of versatility
which the Yankee cannot fail to re-
spect and admire. While over and
about all is a mellow sunshine of at
mosphere, artistic, stimulating and
soothing, which is potent to every
sympathetic visitor. 1t is not hard to
understand the loyalty of the Japa-
nese for their own and theirbmfgWy
nese for their own wonderful land,
their pride in it's historical past and
their hope for it's large future.

WILL THEY SPLIT.

People in both political parties in
Idaho are asking whether the other
fellows are going to have a split in
their party that will rebound to the
benefit Of their opponents, and no
body knows the answer yet. The
Democrats are having a great house
cleaning with strong element in
favor of eliminating the Mormon
fight and Dubois. Then there is an
other element that claims they have
just commenced to succeed in the
Mormon fight and are now in a
position to be heard.
The Republicans are fighting
among themselves and will continue
to do so until the last candidate Is
nominated. and then they will con-
centrate all their energies to down
ing all the opposition to the party.
Republicans keep in good trim to
meet the enemy by fighting each
other for a few months to determine
who Is the fittest.
IN national politics, Taft has CON
troll of more than two hundred of the
votes to be cast in our state conven-
ton, out of the total of 303. In the
national convention he will prob
ably be lected on the first ballot, but
If not, the struggle will pass on to
Hughes, Cannon, La Toilette, Fair
banks and others ad infinitum.

Capital News, containing the charge
brought by Mr.. Dubois paper, the
Scimitar, against Nugent and others,
and the counter charges of che News
against Mr.. DUBOIS, covered in one
form or the other everything that
has been going on among the Demo-
Gratis with the exception that the
News forgot to mention that it too
gave the Western Federation officials
clean bill of character when the
Pettibone verdict was rendered. 1t is
strange that it overlooked this, for it
cannot have forgotten the exuber-
ance with which 1t announced that
Meyer, Haywood and Pettibone had
been indicated, that the attorneys
for both sides had been vindicated,
that the state of Idaho had been vim
Dictated, and that in fact everything
was lovely for everybody as a result
of the outcome of the trial.
With this one point added to the
sum of the charges made by the
Scimitar and the News, The States
man believes the people of Idaho
would have the whole story of Dem
ocratic connection with the Western
Federation. Moreover, this paper
hopes, in the interests of truth, that
both sides will attempt to prove their
charges, and believes that in such an
event it should be called upon to fur
nisb some of the evidence from the
mass Of information it has gathered
on the subject.

date because President Roosevelt ex
pected to be In Pine Knot, Va, Thurs
day night. These callers recalled
happy toast which the president pro.
posed when they drank to the health
Of the Admiral. It was as follows:
ITO the man who has done more for
and reflected greater glory on Amer
lea than any other man now living"
The toast met with happy response
from those surrounding the Admlral's
table.
At the meeting Of the Naval Relief
association the Admiral was pre-.
scented with two silver ink wells. The
health Of the Admiral was drunk from
decanter containing Madeira wine
Of the vintage Of 1S47. The decanter
was formerly the property Of George
and Surgeon General Van
Reypen, who made the presentation
said 1t was eminently fitting that the
health "of the other George, whom we
all love" should be drunk from the
same decanter.

STRUCK WRONG COMPANY.


| full Business Institution.
A bassless and libelous attack mad,
In the Capital Of yesterday on thu
National Fence Machine company o.
this city has aroused much indigna-
tion in this city. The article stated
that farmers In Western Kansas had
been swindled by Mr.. Knbach, when
as matter Of fact the whole story
emanated from worthless schemer
in Southern Kansas who failed to
pay for some cement post molds and
fence machines for which he had
contracted. The company sued him
and got judgment but his property is
in his wife's name and cannot be col
lected.
The National Fence Machine Com
pany is one Of the substantial BUSH
ness institutions Of this city with
some Of our best businessmen asso-
ciAted with Mr.. Kubach in its man
agement. It owns valuable patents
and processes for making fences which
have been used for years by Kansas
and other Western farmers with sue
cess. Hundreds Of farms are fenced
under these processes and no better
fence was ever made.
Those who fail to make good with
this fence are simply the ne'er-do-
wells who never make good anywhere.
Mr.. Kubach has lived In Abilene many
years and his high standing cannot be
hurt by the underhanded attacks Of
those who envy his success. The ex-
cellent business management Of the
company and Of its general manager,
Mr.. Kubach, speaks for itself and has
won the confidence Of all in this COM
munity where the members of the
company are we'll known.
