The Blue Mouse

"The first night-cat that
watched the Blue Mouse at the
Lyric Theatre, wore a grin that
stretched from orchestra to gal
lery,' is the way Chas. Darnton
in the New York Evening World
wrote of Clyde Fitch latest
farce, which, under the manage
ment of the Shuberts, comes to
the Geyer's Theatre on Wednes-
day night September %.
The farce came into popular
favor over night and New York,
as Germany and France are still
doing, is laughing yet.
A Salome dancer with temper
ement, whose sobriquet is "'The
Blue Mouse, is engaged by Rol-
lett, secretary to the president of
a railroad, to impersonate his
real wife and flirt with the pres
ident with the hopes of getting
from i'm a promotion. Her same
temperament of course gets
her INTO all kinds of serapes, and
before the first act is well begun
the real Mrs. Rollett, her father
from Cohoes, the real wife of the
president and the "Mouse's''
sweetheart from Frisco, turn up.
There are three acts to the ex-
cruciatingly funny farce and the

opinion the term will open the lat

ior of the south half of the Ward

mantled. The three windows in
the east and three in the west will
be taken out, as we'll as the brick
wall between. and the entire space
filled with glass. This is found
necessary in order to provide sufi-
cient light. Steel will replace the
brick as supports. The plumbing
for the heating plant will also be
put in the old building before
school begins. So. the opening OF
school depends upon the arrival of
the material and the completion
of the work.

TINKER RUSSELL DEAD.
Passes Away at Phoebe, New,
on Wednesday.

Thomas Russell. better known to
the old settlers of this section by
the nickname of Thinker, died at
the mining camp of Phoebe, New,
yesterday. His remains will be
brought to this city for burial, but
the time of its arrival cannot lie
given at this time. owing to poor
railroad connections.

bedside before his fathers death
Another son, John. was also there.
The rest of his family except
Frank. who is employed in a sur
yeyors camp in Utah, are in EN-

The deceased was native of Ire

parents immigrateu to New Jer-
sey when he was small boy. In
1875 he went to New York and

of the regular army and was sent
to Salt Lake the following year to
take part in the Indian campaign.
One of his comrades was Micky
Morton. His regiment was under
the command of General Crook and
participated in the campaign in
which General Custer and his COM
mand were massacred on the
Little Big Horn. Both he and
Micky Morton were among the
squad that buried Custer and his
company after the battle. He al
SO particiated in the Battle of Slim
Buttes, at which time his regiment

MUSTVOTE BONDsAGAIN
Issue Found to Exceed the
Legal Limit.

Through an error in determining
the amount of bonds which the
Emmett independent School dis
trict may legally issue, it will be
necessary to hold another bond
election.
Last April the board of trustees
were authorized by the voters to
issue bonds in the sum of $33, 600
for the purpose of paying off war;
ant Indebtedness of approximately
$4,000, building an addition to
the High School building and
other improvements. The bonds
were sold to Trowbidge & Niver of
Chicago. When the legality of
the bonds we submitted to the COM
pany's attonev for investigation. it
was found that the. amount of in
debtedness which the district may
legally incur had been exceeded.
That is. the statutes provide that
8 per cent of the valuation Of the
Emmett distict is the limit of in
debtedness that may be voted.
The trutees. through misun-
derstanding. figured the limit at l5
per cent.
In the meantime the contract for
the building for the High school
addition was let and over thou
sand dollars worth of work has
been done. The school board thus
found themselves in rather SER
ious dilemma. To annul the con-
tract and stop work on the build
ing meant not only a monetary loss
bur also a delay of several months
in the completion of the building.
A meeting of the board was held
Yesterday and a decision reached toI
submit the bond proposition to the]
voters, reducing the amount to
$25, 100. Iu order to satisfy Con-
tractor Williams the members of
the board personally guaranteed
the payment of $1,000 which was
then due him and also bound them
selves tor whatever amount might
be due until the bond question was
settled. In taking this course the
board estimates the district will
be saved at, least 5000 through
continuing tthe present contract in
stead of annulling it, and we be-
1ieve the district will approve their
action by voting the bonds, thus
reimbursing the trustees for the
money advanced and insuring the
erection and completion of badly
needed schoolrooms.
The date of the election is Mon
day, August l6, from l to Y o'clock
p. m. and the polling place is city
hall.

John Dewey Says Emmetfs
Crops are Better Than
Expected.

]. C. Dewey of Emmett is in the
city today on business, says the
Capital News. Mr.. Dewey was ap-
pointed by the Commercial club OF
Emmett to select an exhibit from
that section for the Idaho building
at Seattle. So much complaint had
been made of the lack of exhibit at
the Idaho building that the board OF
county commissioners Of Canyon
county appropriated $500 to pay for
selecting an exhibit for that county
to help out and save the name of the
state at the big fair. OF this amount
SIPS was appropriated to each city,
Caldwell, Payette, Nampa and En-
NETT.
In the work of gathering En-
mett's portion of the exhibit, Mr..
Dewey visited all the farms of the
valley and he reports that he found
crops of all kinds, including fruits
very much better than he had any
idea or hope of finding.
Although the fruit was injured
somewhat by the late frosts last
spring, we will have lots of fruit
around Emmett" stated Mr.. Dewey.
Il have collected an excellent dis
play of peaches, apricots and plums,
lin addition to grains and grasses of
|all kinds"
$50 we'll pleased are the people
with conditions that several thousand
acres of new fruit trees were put
|out this spring." continued Mr..
Dewey, who also stated that the
and watermelon crops
would be immense this season. Alf-
alfa, while not so heavy as in former
years, still will make good crop.
Harvest, he states, is well along and
has already begun.
Mr.. Dewey hos some prize corn
which he is raising this year. The
stalks stand 13 feet inches high and
have not yet tassled out. When the
Chicago bankers were here recently,
they come from the prize
corn section of the country, they
acknowledged that they had never
seen anything like it before in all
their lives. His regular corn crop
has cared out, many of the stalks
bearing two large ears 80 heavy that
they have bent over. This corn will
mature in good season and makes
profitable crop.
C.P Hartley, according to Mr..
Dewey, has performed miracles on
his new place and has brought about
a state of development within the
last two years that is almost unbe-
lieveable without seeing it with ones
own eyes after knowing that the
land was taken in raw sagebrush.
State Horticultural Inspector Fields
mas also done a wonderful work on
MS place not far from the Hartley
place. He has a fine barn and a |
cement block house erected and
several hundred trees planted and
within few years will have one of |
he richest fruit orchards in the
country.
