DUMAS AUDAclTY.
A Unique Literary Scheme Of the
Great French Writer.


American readers are accustomed
to surprises in their newspapers,
but imagine their establishment
should some favorite journal pub
fish in good faith, in daily install
ments and adapted according to the
notions of some staff writer,
classic such as, for example,
Dante's "Inferno!" Yet the aston
ishment SO excited would not be
without a parallel in the annals of
newspaper management, inasmuch
as Homer once figured as feuille-
toniste for Partisan newspaper.
When Dumas the elder was edit
ing his journal, LIE Mousquetaire,
Urban FACES, one of his assistants,
who was an exceptionally fine Greek
scholar, was one day enthusiastic
ally expatiating upon the beauties
of the "Iliad" and the Odyssey"
Dumas grew most interested.
eff only you could read them in
the original" sighed FACES.
"Why not ?" asked Dumas.
"But," exclaimed FACES, "my
dear fellow, you don't know alpha
from omegaY'
"Will you translate for me?''
asked Dumas eagerly.
Accordingly FACES undertook the
task. Beginning with the first
book of the "Iliad," he would read a
line Of the Greek and then give a
literal translation. Dumas quickly
caught the spirit Of the epic. As
FACES read he wrote a translation
and signed it.
GIN the name of all the ancients,
NJ. Dumas" exclaimed FACES, ''but
you are signing your name to the
Iliadp"
Certainly" responded Dumas
"that is, to my version of it. II
will appear as a feuilleton in LIE
Mousquetaire."
| FACES was filled with dismay, as
he afterward related, but before
such audacity and naivete he felt
helpless. How was he to convince
a writer accustomed to every tri
umph that he was too bold?
And SO the next day an install
ment of the "Iliad,' as rendered il
half an hour or so by man wht
could not read the Greek alphabet
appeared at the bottom of the page
Of LIE Mousquetaire, with the note
"Continued in our next
This enterprising bit of journal
ism raised such storm of criticism
that Dumas was persuaded to dis
continue it after the third install
. ment, though it was doubted tina
he quite understood what was tn
, trouble.-St. Paul Pioneer Press.

COMMISSIONERS SUSTAINED
Judge Dunn Decides Case Brought
by DR.. brennan.

by DR.. brennan.
Judge R. N. Dunn Of the district
court at Occur d'Alene on Wednes-
day decided the case of DR.. D. D.
brennan against the county COM
missioners, in favor of the defend
ants, unfolding the commissioners
in the contract recently awarded
to the Occur d'Alene Hospital
company to care for the county
infirm and paupers for $4,000 a
year.
The case was brought on grounds
that the county cannot legally let
contracts amounting to over $1,000
without consent Of the voters, and
because the hospital bid was not
regularly submitted.

Deadly Danger in
Diseased Kidneys.
Few People Really Know What
Kidney and Bladder Dis
eases Lead TO.

They frequently become incurable, If
neglected. And they often terminate
fatally, where the neglect is continued.
Serious and dangerous disorders, of the
gravest character these diseases of the
bladder and kidneys, cannot receive
attention too quickly, once they have
attacked the human system.
All arrangements of the kidneys and
bladder, are the result of that deadly
poison-uric acid-in the system. Some
of the consequences following closely
upon neglected uric acid condition,
are these:
Chronic Inflammation of the kidneys,
bladder and passages, inflammatory
rheumatism, dropsy, gravel and gall
stones, chronic nerve disorders, dia-
betes Brights disease, etc.
DeWitt's Kidney and Bladder Pills,
very quickly eliminate from the system
every trace of the deadly uric acid poi

Even More New Residences Going Up
This Year Than Last.
Special to Times Republican.
Grinnell, May 20.-The present con-
dition of building activity in this city
leads to the inevitable conclusion that
this year will see as many residences
of the better, modern kind put up as
were built here last year, with a pos
sibility of still more. A few of those
now in progress or planned for the
near future as soon as mechanics can
be secured to do the work, are as fol-
lows:
e. j. Hadley has three under con-
Bonsall has the foundation for one in
the same quarter; f. L. Rivers has
one nearly completed, just within the
city limits; Professor Conard, of the
college, has the cellar dug for a resi-
dence on East street; Professor Rusk
plans to build on North Park street;
G. w. Slater has a building we'll un-
der way on West Sixth avenue; Har-
ry Lanphere is building on North Main
street; H. L. Dyer has recently moved
into his new home on North Broad:
George Sampson has house almost
completed on North Elm street; Mr..
Booknau has one nearly completed on
East Fourth avenue; w. H. Shahan is
building on South West street; the
Methodist parsonage is to be made
practically new, with an expenditure
of $4,000; E. b. Brande has planned
an apartment house for six families,
and number of others are only wait
ing their turn to get the necessary Ia
Dor performed. Mechanics of all kinds
are at big premium, and even COM
mon labor is too scarce to be readily
found And this is not in any sense a
boom" condition for Grinnell, but
rather, the continuance of conditions
that have been prevailing here for the
past years. The residences range in
cost from $500 to $4,000.
