BOISE HARD HIT
BY LOCAL OPTION
Big Hotel Enterprise Abandon
ed on Account of Fears
or Its Adoption.

BOISE. Idaho. Sept 4.-One of the
bad effects of the declaration OF the
republican party at the recent con
yention at Boise in favor of local
option was felt here today
when eastern capitalists abandoned
their plans to construct a hotel that
would cost complete half a million
dollars. The capitalists some time
ago invested $500 in a site for the
hotel, and plans had been made for
the structure, but the announcement
was made this morning that the pro-
ject had been abandoned owing to
the fact that too much danger ex-
listed of the town adopting local OPP
ton In the event the pledge In the
republican platform should be made
a law. and that hotel without bar
would not be paying institution.

HARRY ORCHARD.

Orchard when made public, created
a sensation here, and much unfavor-
able comment is being made against
the warden. Though one of the
greatest and most dangerous crimi-
nails of the day it is shown by the
charges of the board that Orchard
has been enjoying all of the above
immunities from the warden ever
since his death sentence was com
mutted to one of life Imprisonment
by the board of pardons. The board
after reprimanding the warden,
ordered Orchard be given the same
treatment at the pennitentiary as
other prisoners of his class receive.

GOV. HANLEY'S
BIG SENSATION
Calls Special Session Of Indiana
Legislature to Pass Re-
form Measures.

INDIANAPOLIS, Sept. 4.-The
greatest political sensation that the
state has experienced for years came
today when Governor Hanley unex-
pectediy called an extra session Of
the legislature for September II.
Governor Hanley's term expires
the first of the year. Ever since
his inauguration into Office he has
had his heart set upon legislation
along certain lines OF reform, but so
far has been unable 10 have any
thing accomplished In this respect
during his term of Office This has
been a source OF disappointment to
him, and looking to the accomplish
ment OF these reforms under the
next administration he entered into
a political agreement with James
Watson, the republican candidate to
succeed him to the governorship.
Watson and his friends, some OF
them, promised Hanley that II he
N1uth stump NhG nAalG AuE WMAo0A
during the campaign that Watson
would carry out his reform propa-
ganda under his administration. The
governor had faith In the promise
made by Watson. but recently he
heard some of Watson's friends
laughing over the promise he had
made, learned that with them II was
regarded as huge jest. This
angered Hanley and he has now
called this session Of the legislature
for the purpose of demanding Of II
the reform legislation which Watson
had promised would be enacted un-
der his term. The action OF the gov
ernor is the subject of discussion IN
all political circles. and II is pre-
dicted that the session OF the legls-
lature will be one OF the most In
teresting ever held in Indiana as II
Is known that many OF the legIsla-
tors are not in sympathy with the
governors reform legislation, while

warm fight will be participated

Mrs. Cora Kennedy returned yes
terday from visit to Chicago where
she went TO purchase the fall line
of goods of the c. NJ. Robertson
store. Mrs. Kennedy purchased a
larger stock this year than she has
bought at any other season. The
stock is of the latest styles.
Speaking of the conditions as she
found them in the east Mrs Kennedy
said: 4 was surprised to find that
the east in as good a condition as
did. and ! heard that everything
there was in a state of depression,
but found the contrary. The Chi
cago merchants are having a good
trade, and are looking forward TO a
better trade this fall than they have
had for years. The east has expert
enced hard times, but business in
general has revived, and the effect
of the depression has gone, and bust
ness is in as good a condition now
almost in every line as it ever was.
The number of buyers this year in
Chicago is greater than ever before.
and all are very optimistic for the
fall trade. and / believe that we are
all going to experience a good sea

DEMOCRATS FILE
BOTH TICKETS
Dubois Ticket Turned Down by
LansdOn; Appeal to Court.

BOISE. Idaho. Sept. 4,--Both Of
the factions of the democratic party
today presented for filing before Sec
Rotary OF State Lansdon, the two
tickets nominated by them at the
convention held at Wallace. and the
secretary accepted that known as the
anti-Dubois ticket, and declined to
file that represented by Senator Fred
T. Dubois. and generally known as
the regular democratic ticket of the
state.
The attorneys for the supporters
OF the Dubois ticket announced, as
soon as made aware of the decision
OF the secretary. that they would at
once commence mandamus proceed
ings against Landson in the supreme
court for the purpose of having the
matter tested as to which of the two
tickets is entitled to be known as
the regular democratic ticket in the
state. Both OF the factions during
the convention at Wallace laid a
foundation for a battle OF this
character In the courts, and the
matter will be rushed forward with
all possible dispatch The further
agreement was also entered into be-
tween the factions at the time that
the loosing faction would abide by
the decision of the supreme court
and support the winning ticket in
the campaign.
