Came Near Leaving.

Sheriff Breshears came near losing
all his boarders, some fifteen in num-
Der, had it not been for Herschel
Clore, the 14-year-old son of w. s..
CloTe, of this city. The boy had been
sent with some of the convention Wis
itors to show them where they were
to find lodgings. Fortunately the
residences were in the vicinity of the
county Jail. The hour was about ii
p. m. and as he was passing near the
Jail he heard an unusual noise COM
ing from the building. He immediate
ly hurried down to the Saratoga no
tel, where he found Deputy Paynter,
and informed him of what he had
heard. The deputy made tracks for
the prison and was just in time to pre-
vent the escape of the entire outfit.
They had by the assistance of saws,
made from the blade of knit, mans
aged to sever the bolts which secured
patch of steel which had been put
on the interior lining of the jail, and
had commenced removing the brick
from the wall. After the steel plate
had been removed, it would be an easy
matter to complete their work, and
make their escape. The crowd now
in the Jail is rather tough one, and
as there are but four cells and fifteen
prisoners to be secured, it is evident
that some had to be permitted to re-
main in the corridor, and these were
the fellows who did the work. Had
they planned to escape at little later
hour there would have been a busy
time in the sheriff's Office. The Jail
has been repaired and guard placed
on duty until such time as Judge
Bryan orders them turned over to the
state authorities, or they serve their
jail sentences.

"Wednesday Morning.

The second day Of the State Sunday
School convention was held in the
Christian church, at 3 a. m. Owing to
the early hour, there was but few Of
the delegates present, but at the time
the convention adjourned for the poon
hour the large audience room of the
church was filled to It's capacity, many
being unable to obtain seats. Rev.
Peters of Boise led the devotional SER
Vices.
The first business was the reports
form the county presidents. The re-
ports showed that much work had
been done during the past year.
Many new schools had been organized.
The pledges made at the last state
convention had nearly all been paid.
All things considered, the reports
were very satisfactory, notwithstand-
ing that there were several counties
that failed to report.
1.-The Junior Boy" was the subject
which Rev. w. g. Merritt responded to
in his happiest vein. The junior boy,
said the speaker, is the boy Of the
age OF 8, 10, II and ~ years, and we
don't know him. 1t Is at this age that
his mind receives the lasting impress
slons, and the Sunday school and the
home is the place where he should
receive them. Boys should be taught
positive things and not negative, his
habits are easily formed at this age.
Rev Merritt Is very entertaining
speaker on any topic. His talk at this
time made a deep impression on his
audience.
Rev. ]. G. Cowden, state superin-
tendent Of the home department, made
very complete report of his work for
the past year, and then followed with
a paper by Mrs, M. w. johnson on the

SOCIETY

Friday evening at the home of Mr..
and Mrs. H. B. Aven, was held the
most unique entertainment of the sea-
son, when they invited the teachers to
be present at Girls Party" The
invitations bore the following appro-
pirate quotation: Backward, oh,
backward turn time in your flight
let me be a child again just for to-
night" The young ladies came dress
ed as little girls and they all looked
very cute. Had there been a contest
as to the best representation, Gene
Rowland, Frances Harris and Grace
Porter would have been close contest
ants. A peanut hunt was the first
game played by the Juveniles, after
which all-day suckers were passed to
keep them quiet until a donkey was
pinned on the house wall and the
little girls trooped out to see how
close they could come to pinning a
tail'in the proper place on that animal.
Lucy Lee came the nearest to the ex-
act spot and was given huge stick OF
candy for her shrewdness and Frances
Harris to console her for placing hers
the farthest away, was given bright
silver 81 cup with Darling" upon 1t
in shining letters. Blind mans BUN
and other childish games were played
until luncheon was served. The house
was filled with every kind of toy to de-
light child's heart. Mr.. Aven very
much surprised the girls by imper~
sonating little boy and they at once
named him Benny. The tables for
luncheon were decorated with a doll
bearing a name and places were found
by passing slips with dolls names on
corresponding to those on the doll
centerpieces The tables were also
decorated with candy patties and choc-
olate mice in place of napkins blbs
were furnished each guest, pinned on
with gold safety pins which were TAX
en- home as souvenirs. The little girls
left at late hour thanking their host
and hostess for very delightful even
ing A fiash-light Of the guests was
taken by Mr.. Hildreth during the even
ing, so that the event might not be
forgotten.
Friday afternoon Miss Boulware and
Miss Cupp entertained at 500, also on
Saturday. The place cards for both
afternoons were pretty water color
sketches, the work of Miss Cupp. Mrs.
Bryan won the favor on Friday, hand
embroidered centerpiece; that for Sat
urday was won by Mrs. I. Andrews, a
jeweled hatpin. The guests were

THE SUNDAY SCHOOL
CONVENTION A SUCCESS

all the counties of the state had been
organized, Owyhee having been the
last and all but six has superintend-
ents. The speaker urged deeper con-
secration to the work, and also urged
that the various classes should be
separated.
The convention adjourned to 7.3O.
Tuesday Evening.
The services Tuesday evening
were presided over by the state pres
ident, Rev. w. H. Bowler The audi
ence was entertained by singing by
local talent, under the leadership of
Professor Angus Martin. When the
convention was called to order the
hall, which has seating capacity, of
500, was packed to the doors. Rev.
Gourley, of Twin Falls, read a chap
ter and Rev. Springer, of Caldwell, in
voked divine blessing. Mayor Gowen
was on the program for the speech of
welcome, but from some cause he fail
ed to put in an appearance. How
ever, ]. C. Rice was called on and Of
fered greetings from the Sun
day schools of the city. Mr..
Rice in few happy remarks
assured the convention that
they were all welcome to the city.
Rev. W. G. Merritt, of Chicago, who is
the international field worker of the
association, responded to the speech
of welcome. Rev. Merritt is a fluent
speaker. He expressed his surprise
at the type of man and womanhood he
has come in contact with in his travels
through the Northwest and predicted
that new type of men, both morally
and physically, would be produced
Mrs. Jennie Byers was called upon
and responded on behalf of the ladies
The next number on the program
was song by Miss Hansen. with ac-
paniment by Mrs. Olmstead on the
piano and Miss Walker on the violin
The president persisted in calling for
hAdyOl GOWOh1 VIM WesS O40oAAy as
persistent in being absent.
Rev. Rerfern, general secretary o.
the association, was introduced ant
made a statement Of his work in Ida
no, his talk being intersperced with
many interesting anecdotes which
had come under his observation during
his travels in the state. Following the
talk by Rev. Redfern, the various com.
mittees were named, after which thC
convention adjourned to meet in thu
Christian church at a. IN. Wednes
day morning. Owing to the crowds
attending this session it was found
necessary to secure the Armory hal
for the remaining meetings of the
convention.
The local committees are to be con
graduated on the efficiency of their la
bors, especially is this true in thu
case of the entertainment committee
of which Mrs. H. e. Wallace is chair
man. This committee has securet
homes for all out of town visitors ant
have sacrificed the pleasure of attend
ing the sessions in order that all visl
tors might be cared for.
