INSANE MAN
IN THE CITY
Is Placed in the County Jail
for Safe Keeping Until
Examined.

Sheriff Bailey has in his charge al
the county jail in this city a person
by the name of l.. l.. Wright, who
was brought here from Rathdrum
yesterday, charged with being dan
gerous person to be at large, for the
reason that he is of unsound mind
and incapable of knowing right from
wrong. He is about 35 years of age,
and while it Is believed that he will
do no bodily harm to any one, still
to allow him at large Is dangerous
He will be examined soon to deter
mine his sanity by order Of the Judge
of probate, and in all probability win
be placed in the state asylum. 1t is
Wright's wish that he go there, for
he admits that he is not right in his
mind, and says that when he is alone
he cannot refrain from seeing objects
and hearing voices and noises. When
leaving Garwood, Idaho, where he
had been working for some time, he
was given letter from Mr.. F. !.
Burcham, of the firm of Adams &
Burcham, to the justice of the peace
at Rathdrum, in which he stated that
the bearer thereof. Mr.. Wright, had
been in that vicinity, for some time
cutting wood for the firm, but tina:
they had dismissed him from their
employ that morning on account Of
his strange actions while at work.
1t became quite common for Wright
to hear voices around him, and when
he would be discovered by some one,
he would show great signs of excite
ment, as If frightened almost beyond
control.
Wright stated that he was dis
charged from the asylum at Salem,
Ore, only two months ago and from
Medical Lake hospital about two years
ago. He seems to talk nationally al
times when speaking to those about
him, but the moment that he is left
alone he seems to go to pieces and
loses control of himself.

already for the conservation move
ment, he declared that the resources
of the islands are too limited now
and the tax burden too heavy for the
full development of her agricultural
lands without help from the federal
government. He urged the extension
OF the reclamation act to Hawaii.

1t on the grass, II there Is grass. II

hanger which has been thoroughly

drying wooden sweaters is the
stretching of the sleeves from the adj

stretching out of shape Of different
parts that are clipped to the line by
clothespins. One woman who washes
her own sweater threads the sleeves

BERLINERs AERIAL TORPEDO.

Emile Berliner. the Washington in
ventor. is believed to have perfected
his plans for the perfection OF a new
weapon OF destruction which will
Guido the submarine torpedo and the
heaviest gun in destructive effect.
The Berliner device is an evolution
of the fish torpedo into a winged en-
CINE of warfare. Small aeroplanes
and the use of engine-driven propel-
lers accomplish the transformation
The machine will have horizontal mo-
tors or horoscopes to preserve its
equilibrium. Carrying a charge OF
from $50 to $50 pounds Of the pow
erful explosive known as cordite, the
torpedo would go at a speed which
would enable II to overhaul the fast
est ship. and 1t Is thought that rapid
FIRE guns could not do much damage
to the terrible visitor. A speed OF
100 miles an hour Is anticipated for
the aerial torpedo.

Mr.. NJ. l. Tony, who was injured
by being cut with an ak, and which
was ehronicled in yesterdays Press
was caller at this ONCE this morn
ing and gave us a brief account OF
the accident. Mr.. Tony says that he
was cutting a tree down with the az,
and that the blade being loose from
the handle caused him several times
to turn the blade in an upward posi-
ton and strike the handle hard on Q
rock to fasten 1t sOlidly. In doing
this the blade jumped OF and struck
the left arm in the same place and
across the same scar made two years
ago In the same way, and It was the
same Ak that did the cutting. The
cut was so made as to form a letter
V with the previous one and will be
a lasting reminder to Mr.. Tony OF
the two occasions which have caused
him so much suffering and loss OF
time. He says that he is now going
TO try new ak. and win see to it in
the future that the handle is fas-
tened securely before he starts to

No Relief-NOt Yet.

Milwaukee News: In submitting his
amendment to provide for an income
tax, Senator Cummins took occasion to
say that the question that confronts
congress is to equalize the burden OF
taxation as well as to provide ample
revenue.
Senator Aldrich, and it is Understood
that President Taft holds to the same
view, insists that there is no need foi
an income tax or tax upon wealth in
i, any form, for the reason that the Gus
tom duties and internal revenue taxes
may be made to produce sufficient rev
enue to meet the needs of the govern
ment. The camers back has not yet
been loaded to the breaking point
There is no need to tax wealth as long
as the masses may be made to sus
tain the burden that the federal gov
eminent imposes
The Aldrich view meets with the
support of the financial interests. Tax
the peoples necessaries, but lay nc
impious hand upon the swollen for
tune. The tariff beneficiary who is
merged in the financial interests looks
with violent disapproval upon the tax
ing of wealth. 1t would hit his peck
ct book directly and indirectly. Taxes
upon wealth would permit reduction OF
taxes upon the necessaries of life, and
lower taxes upon consumption would
work reduction in the profits of the
infant industry.
If we are to believe the Washington
dispatches, Aldrich and his plutocratic
associates are filled with rage at Cum
MINIS and his kind. They are to be
punished as faithless republicans
democrats i'll disguise. For Cummips
proposes that there shall be a tax of
Z per cent on incomes between $4,000
and $4,000; 215 per cent on incomes
reaching $4,000, per cent on $40. 900
.31a per cent on $S0,0C0, per cent on
100000, and per cent on all in.
comes exceeding that sum. He does
not propose to tax corporations. hold
ing they are mere Observation-Disclosures for
individual profit, the result of taxing
a corporation as whole being fire..
quently to tax the small holder of
stock, whereas the purpose of his
amendment is to exempt all incomes
below $4,000.
There is not, we are told, any imme-
date prospect that the Cummins pro,
posal will receive sanction by repub.
ilcan congress. We should say not,

Cotton is still king down south, and
there is no reason to suppose that it
will be dethroned in our time. The
cotton that is exported represents a
sum large enough to pay our generous
balances in Europe, for the expenses
and purchases OF tourists, Tor goods
imported, for transportation by sea,
vested in the United States. But down
south King Cotton has occupied the
field too exclusively 1t has been too
much the policy to devote the entire
energies of the> planters to that one
crop and then have to use the money
received for cotton to buy things that
ought to have been raised at home.
The south is getting away from this
unwise policy and paying more atten-
ton to raising corn and other food.
According to a census bulletin, in the
10 years ending with 1906 the produc-
ton of corn in the south was nearly
700,C00,00O bushels greater than in the
previous decade The corn crop of
South Carolina alone increased by over
million Bushels year. In order to
still further increase the crop of that
state the legislature has offered a SER
les of prizes to be awarded to those
who can raise the largest number of
bushels on one or five acres. There
are separate prizes for boys. This is
practical way to interest farmers in
corn growing and to secure the use OF

the best seed and the best methods of
|fertilizing and cultivating.
The contests held in former years,
the state commissioner of agriculture
says, have been of immense value to
the state in dollars and cents, as has
been demonstrated by their influence
upon the remarkable advance made IN
the value of the corn crop in South
Carolina in the last two years." The
production of corn naturally suggests
the production of bacon, and when
that is done the people will have bread
and meat, even if the poll weevil eats
up the cotton crop.

By the time she was ready to dress
to go out TO dinner Mary Bowen was
so tired that she felt she would have
preferred TO stay at home and go to
bed early. And yet she had looked
forward eagerly for two days to this
dinner at the Valentines new house.
That she should feel out of sorts
when the time actually had arrived
added to the sense of grievance against
things in general that had been grow
ing very strong within her of late.
Mary Bowen had been married four
years, and she was beginning to think
of herself as disappointed woman.
Her husband was always good and
kind, devoted to her and the two
babies. but he had failed to surround
her with the comforts she felt she de-
, served.
She felt annoyed ut times at his very
goodness. 1t was positively irritating
to have any one always so sweet tenn
pered. 1t was almost q weakness. If
| he We're more of a fighter he would
| probably get on faster in his business
and she would not have to take all the
| care of the babies with only a gen
| cral girl'' to help in the house.
When she spoke sharply to VIII he
would look vaguely distressed. or. pat
| ting her shoulder, would remark gen.
fly. Poor Mary, you're tired out"
| Well, she felt tonight she was tired
out. She and her husband were going
to dine with her Oldest friend. whc
had married year before. The Val
entines had gone abroad for honey
moon that had lasted whole year
| Now they had come back into house
| that had been built and furnished dur
ing their absence and stood completely
| ready to receive them.
/ As Mary laid out the blue crepe d,
4 chine that had been one of her trous
| seau gowns she felt bitterly tina
i things were not very evenly divided il
| this world. Her husband came in. anC
she treated him coldly, feeling resent
/ fully that be was responsible for hel
hard lot in life.
! When they were ready they left til.
little house and boarded street car
Mary felt this was an added grievance
