sidered at a meeting of the fire COM
mittee of the general council next
Tuesday night, when City Solicitor
JAMES Campbell, Jr., is expected to
have communications from other
cities showing the treatment the COM
pany has received at their hands.
Before the committee would follow
Fire Chief Woods recommendation
to order the tanks moved TO the out
skirts OF the city. they determined to
ascertain whether other cities allowed
tanks to remain in the heart OF the
residential district. Fire Chief Wood
Is still strongly opposed to allowing
the tanks TO remain at their present
location on the railroad, where flying
sparks might ind their way into the

THIEF DROPS BOOTY

Chicken thieves had hard luck last
night when they tried to rob the
roost OF the frying size chickens OF
Mr.. III. M. Dalton, 1902 Madison
street. After the thief had placed
several of the largest chickens under
his arms the noise awakened Mr. Dali
ton and he was out in his yard in a
minute. The thief was greedy one
and tried to put all of the chickens
under his arm. but he delayed too
long. and had TO drop all in order TO
climb high fence before being
caught. Just as the thief dropped
from the fence Mr.. Dalton shot, but
the man never stopped running until
well out of reach. None OF the
chickens are missing.

At Gracey, in this county, there
were probably twenty or more night
riders. They came into town on the
Cadiz road. Two were on horses. one
rode a mule and the others were in
eight buggies.
The gang proceeded to the Illinois
Central depot. Kindling and coal oil
were taken from one of the buggies
and a fire was soon started under the
building. While a few Of the incen-
diaries were thus engaged, the main
body rolled to a place of safety a
box car containing tobacco. This car
was saved, but two fiat cars were
burned.
This car was brought to Hopkins
vile this morning. No bills were re-
ceived with 1t, as they were burned
In the station. IL is understood that
part Of the tobacco is consigned to
the American Snuff company and a
part TO Cooper & Co.
United States Mail.
The depot building. together with
all Of its contents, was consumed by
the flames. One thing of importance
destroyed was a sack OF mail for the
Cadiz postoffice. The burning OF this
property will mean an investigation
OF the raid by federal authorities.

WASHINGTON, March 3.--The
State University OF Idaho, located At
Moscow, has just entered into a CO.
operative agreement with the United
States Forest Service to carry on a
series Of tests to determine the rela-
tive value Of the commercial timbers
Of the State, All the tests will be
made at the University in accordance
with the methods used by the govern
ment. and at least once year a test
ing engineer Of the Forest Service
will make careful inspection and re-
port upon the progress Of the work
These tests will be Of considerable
value in asctaining for what purpose
and use the timbers Of Idaho are best
adopted. Bridge stringers will be
tested to determine the fitness OF dill
ferent species for the construction OF
trestles and bridges; the spike-hold-
ing power will also be Investigated TO
determine just what species can be
advantageously used for railroad ties
and tests will be made to determine
the relative hardness, which property
is very important in material used Tor
paving blocks. The Forest Service
at other laboratories in various parts
Of the country IL making tests on i'm
portant, timbers from other sections
and by cooperating with the Service
the University will secure results
which will furnish an accurate basis
for comparing Idaho timber with
timber from. other states.
Al this period when the supply o.

THE WIFE IN THE SHADOW

One OF the most pathetic spectacies
in American life is that OF the faded,
outgrown wife standing helpless in
the shadow OF her husbands pros
perity and power, having sacrificed
her youth, beauty, and ambition
nearly everything that the feminine
mind holds dear--to enable an indif
ierent, selfish, british husband 70 get
start in the world.
1t does not matter that she burned
up much Of her attractiveness over
the cooking stove; that she lost more
OF it at the washtub, and in scrubbing
and cleaning, and in rearing and car
ing for their children during the slav-
cry Of her early married life, in her
unselfish effort to help him get on in
the world. II does not matter how
much she suffered during those ter
rible years of proverty and privation;
Just as soon as the selfish husband
begins to get prosperous, finds that
he is getting on in the world, feels
his power, he often begins to be
ashamed OF the woman who has sac
rificed everything to make his sue
cess possible.
1t does not matter that the wife
sacrificed her own opportunity for a
career, that she gave up her most
cherished ambitions in order &c
make a ladder for her husband to
ascend by. When he has gotten tc
the top, like willy, diplomatic politi-
clan, he often kicks the ladder down
He wants to make show in the
world; he thinks only Of himself
His poor, faded, worn-out wife, stand
ing in his shadow, is not attractive
enough for him now that he has got
ten up in the world.
Many American wives look with
horror upon the increasing fortunes
Of their husbands. which their sacri.
fees have helped to accumulate, sim
ply because they fear that their stoop-
de forms, gray hairs, calloused hands
and the loss OF the comeliness, which
slipped from them while they were
helping their husbands to get start
are likely to deprive them Of the very
paradise OF home and comforts which
they dreamed OF from their wedding
day. They know that their hard wcrl
and sacrifices and long hours and
sufferings in bringing up family are
likely to ruin their prospects and tha
they may even drive them out Of tht
Eden Of their dreams. Success Mag

A TIMELY ORDER.

A sharp order has gone forth from
the office of Secretary Straus, of the
Department of Commerce and Labor,
to the immigration officials of the
country to confer with the police
authorities everywhere and exchange
information that will be valuable in
rounding out the anarchistic hordes
that have gradually crept into the
United States, with view of deport-
ing them and otherwise getting a
cinch on them that will circumscribe
their murderous propaganda and
keep them within sight and power oi
the law.
This is as it should be; and the
country will feel safer for it.
It is high time this menace was
downed and its agents tied in coils o.
espionage and restraint that NEAR

for their vain mouthings. No detec
tive nor policeman in this nation neet
hesitate an instant in going to th'
limit Of his orders in the case o

crete as to make his harshest tasl
acceptable everywhere. Even justic
