NEED OF MARKET

the mercy of various associations
of retail grocers, wholesale commits
sion men, wholesale produce men,
wholesalers of meat and milk and
other organizations or like charac-
ter that are largely responsible for
the high cost of living in this city.
Prices at Seattles city market
are from 10 to 20 per cent lower on
great many articles than such
things are quoted in the retail
stores in Spokane. Here in this city
the farmers bring in stuff every day
and sell it at a less figure than the
retail stores. With first class
market in the city the farmers
would make provision for the stor-
age of food supplies for the winter
trade in order to have something to
sell the year around. Now the only
chance to sell stuff in the city is by
peddling, which is very unsatisfac-
tory in freezing weather.
TWO CLUBS ENDORSE.
The South Mantle Improvement
club went or record in favor of a
city market last night. The matter
was brought up by A. A. Kelly, the
we'll known gardener of the east
end of the city, who spoke Of the
privately owned market building at
the corner Of Second and Stevens
that is now in progress of building.
Mr.. Kelly said that the city should
dedicate the streets on both sides Of
this building for market purposes,
to he conducted as il has been In
the past.
Mr.. Kelly says, however, that the
correct solution of the matter is for
the city to get into the market mat
ter on a permanent footing by the
erection of a building that will suf-
flee for the needs Of the city for a
numer of years to come.
The First Ward Improvement
club has also endorsed the idea of
city market. The Fourth Ward
Commercial club has endorsed the
plan of the city investing $3.50, 900
in a market site and building and
appointed committee some time
ago to further inquire into 1t.

There was no ring on the newly
found portion of the skeleton, and no
bracelet or other jewelry. Near the
arm was found a faceted head of a

NO BAR TO CASE

John Bergovitch, charged with
robbing Peter Toryansky in room
in the Balkan hotel on the night of
November 90, was placed on trial
this morning before Judge H. l..
KEENAN,.
Following the Introduction of tes-
timony. in which the complaining
witness identified a note book found
upon Bergovitch as his property,

time of the alleged robbery and his
testimony was worthless.

book and a watch found upon Berg

sufficient ground for an investiga-

the month was ordered continued.

fled the book found upon Bergo-
witch, but failed to identify the

DAVID WAKEFIELD
IS GREAT

The large audience which greeted
the appearance of David Warfield in
The Music Master" last night at
the Auditorium had the pleasure of
hearing and seeing one of the great
est productions of modern drama
that has visited Spokane this sea-
son.
The success of THE Music Mas
ter" undoubtedly lies in the part of
Mr. Warfield as Herr Won Barwig.
The old-fashioned German phrase
ology is characterized in his voice,
and Mr.. Warfield has keen con-
ception of character. which makes
his voice and manner most sympa-
thetic and appealing.
From the heartrending scene
where the father denounced the
man who wronged him and de-
stroyed his happiness for so many
years, Mr.. Warfield would lapse
into a calm, peaceful mood, which
was so truly realistic of human life
as to bring forth mingling OF
tears and laughter.
The splendid acting of the three
musicians of foreign nationalities is
feature of the play, and adds
much to it's strength and character
study.
The cast calls for a number of
minor parts, and every one was
handled in an exceptionally pleas
ing manner. Miss Janet Dunbar,
playing the part of Helen, the
daughter of Herr Won Barwig, had
winsome, charming, irresistible
manner and was sympathetic and
appealing in her scenes with MIR.
Warwick. Antoinette Walker as
Jennie was sweet and attractive IN
her simplicity. and added much to
the cheerfulness Of the production.

THE LINOTYPE EDITION

A leading feature of this edition
of the Idaho Republican is the Limo
type, and We consider it fitting that
the people of the new and growing
state of Idaho should know that
while they are giving much credit
to the press for exploiting the re-
sources of the country and making
its rapid development possible, the
Linotype has lifted much of the
heavy burden of publicity, has re-
leased the type-slave who toiled at
nerve-racking tasks, and has enab-
led one man to take up the burden
or six or eight of his fellow toilers
and carry it to quick and joyous
completion, while the reading pubic
receives its Information always in,
type that is new and perfect.
The Linotype, the sewing machine.
the steam pillow, the combined thresh-
er, the airship, are all comrades in
taking the burdens from humanity
and shortening the bridge between
desire and possession.

THOSE WHISKY CASES

The seven or eight men charged
with selling whiskey in Idaho Falls
are asking for change of venue to
Custer or Lemhi County.
The reasons assigned are that the
public mind is SO wrought up against
anyone charged with or suspected
of selling liquor, that it would be
impossible to secure a fair trial in
this county where the vote was so
strongly dry"
On this line of reasoning they ask
that the affairs of this county be
passed up to county where no
vote has been taken or where the
vote was about evenly divided as
in Lemhi.
Affidavits by the wholesale amount
ing to 1900 or more, some say sew
eral thousand; taken from all over
the county, are stacked in the clerks
ONCE asserting the impossibility of
securing jury that would give a
fair trial.
