CHICAGO. June 11.-Dr. Jennie A.

t~ectives were hiding in the house to
guard the woman against just such an
attack, but 1t was a steel-ribbed corset
that saved her life. The would-be as
sassin escaped in the darkness.
DR.. Beardsley, who is a practising
physician of middle age, received a let
ter several days ago threatening her
life If she did not place $500 in a des-
ignated spot. The letter. which she
turned over to the police, was signed
with a blackhand and a skull and
c~rossbones.

THE PERLPATETTC NLI-
.SANCE.
SAMCE.

A nuisance which is apparently the
outgrowth of the freakish fads of our
modern development is the peripa-
tetic beggar who is walking on
wager. either around or through some
country or sometimes even around
the world. These freaks generally
claim to be walking on wager of
some large sum. which is to be
theirs in the event of their fulfilling
the terms of the bet Whether these
claims are true or not, it is noticeable
that one never hears of the wag-
er being won or paid. The peripatetic
nuisance walks into the towns on his
route. dirty, dusty and ragged He
usually pays his respects to the news
paper office, as notoriety is part OF
his game. AS often as not, he claims
to be the king of Tramps.' He eX-
meets A column or SO of news story
about his achievements, and doesn t
even have free tickets to a perform
ance to give the paper in exchange
for the space Having worked the
nress for such announcement of his
arrival. he then works his way
through the community, by means OF
tho curiosity which the write-up' will
arouse in the mind of the populace
regarding the man who performs
such wonders as walking all the way
from Maine to California, or from
Minnesota to Texas, taking toll OF
their generosity to pay his expenses
at tho restaurants and saloons. The
barbershops and baths usually do
mt make any more out of him than
The newspaper does, but the perlpa-
tetic rarely ever leaves a town hungry
-or without the price of a meal or
drink in his pockets. One of the rules
governing the peripatetic nuisance
game is never by any chance to SOIL
his hands by toll To violate TINS
ruIe would remove him forever from
the roll of honor of his profession
BAH The peripatetic nuisance is
not worth the notice of any active
bealthy-minded, industrious man or
voman. in this busy cd world. The
next one that comes along should be
taken to one of the public hydrants
and given a bath with the fire hose
and then put to work on the streets
He is worthy of no more considera-
tion than is the commonest vag that
ever adorned the mOurners' bench be-
fore iiizzoner. the mayor, on Monday
morning.

Statistics show that in the U. S.
seventy lynchings have occurred this
year, the highest number recorded
since 1904, and all but two of these
were in the territory south of Mason
and Dixon's line, Illinois furnishing
the only instances of mob violence
in any of the northern or western
states. In the wild and woody west
where the men are supposed to take
their lives in their hands, there is
not a single case and along the
southwest border there We're only
two and these in the territory of New

The. Caldwell News speaks straight
and strong upon a subject of interest
to all manly and womanly Americans
in the following article:
On the cover page of the Saturday
Evening Post appears the represent
alton of painting by Harrison Fish
er. The question arises, What in
fluence has such painting upon the
social life of today?" This and sim
liar illustrations represent true con-
ditfons that exist in the so-called
elite society of our large cities
These portray the social life of the
wealthy class. The class of leisure.
The millions of dollars spent on dog
'banquets and collie art is astounding
when once investigated. That ladies
of fashion spend more money for
dainty food and gorgeous dress of a
collie pup than can poor laborer for
the food, dress and education of his
children can not be denied. The ex-
ample set by the leaders of the So
cial world Is aped by the would-be
followers of fashion in the smaller
cities. The halo, that is made to
shine around the heads of the lead
ers of such fads and fancies-the poo
die dog contingency-permeates or at
least penetrates the social whirl of
the cities of the West as well as
the East, though not in such lavish
form.
The lady of fashion who spends all
her time, money and energy upon the
latest style in gowns and the cores
ponding appearance of a richly be-
decked poodle, abs lowered the excel
lencky of womanhood. Noble mother
hood has long since been banished
from her thought The love of child
seething multitude of her honorable
but unfortunate sisters can not be
seen from the pinnacle of her forty
story social edifice she has erected
for her selfish self. From this ex
allied position in her social city she
sees not the poorly clad, unfortunate
child In the street, she sees only the
rich ribbon and pink bow of her col
lie pup. The plump jaws of the dos
is much preferred to the cheek Of tn
child.

NORTH AND SOUTH IDAHO AND
THE RAILWAYS.

Says the Tribune: The abstract
of the report of State Auditor Tay-
lor gives the detailed statement of
the railways of the state as to their
assessment for taxation. The total
assessment of all railways is $21,-
552, 261.3O, of telegraph and telephone
81, 051, 701. 5S, of all other property
whatsoever $9s,211, 471.25. The rail-
ways constitute about 20 per cent
of the assessable wealth of the state.
OF the individual railways the Ore
gon Short Line is assessed for $12,-
1858, 800, or more than all the other
roads in the state combined. The
Northern Pacific is assessed for 49,
sos. 200, o. r. & N. $1,155, 900, Great
Northern $1,403,510 and Milwaukee
1886, 400. Total for the four north
Idaho roads $6,739, 900, or but a trifle
more than half what the one great
system in south Idaho furnishes. The
one company in south Idaho furnish
ed that section more transportation
and hence more development than
the four companies combined have
furnished north Idaho.
OF actual mileage the Oregon Short
Line has 1O06.31. the Northern Pa
cific 1855, the o. r. & N. 109.90
Great Northern 105.45 and Milwau
kee 97.2S, or 6477S total for the -four
north Idaho systems.
But the north Idaho systems will
doubtless, maintain that south Idaho
Is greater. more populous and more
wealthy than north Idaho and thar
they have done at least as well In
proportion as the one south Idaht
road has. Not SO, north Idaho hal
full 40 per cent of the developed
wealth of the state and only 26 pc
cent of the railway mileage, elimi
mating the smaller lines in both sec
tions. North Idaho Is certainly tn

ture, of all varieties. from stapl
wheat to the most delicate orchar
products. It's timbered wealth, on

try the north certainly is as resourc'
full as the south. In comparativ

no deficient. and in that respect tn
people are not to blame. They hav
been friendly, liberal and hopeful.
