dent in the land. AS If with a pre-
science almost incredible, young
Clark determined to abondon his col
| legiate career, and fit himself for a
democratic leader. He determined
TO enter the political field and became
proprietor and editor of Missouri
newspaper, which he conducted with
remarkable loyalty to the democratic
cause, and when he got ready to dis
pose of it, he sold it to the man from
whom he bought the newspaper-and
at profit. He branched out into
politics. in 1888, when he was elect
ed to the Missouri legislature. In
1892 he was first elected to congress.
Two years later he was defeated, but
Immediately went to work convincing
the 18th Missouri district that he was
the only logical candidate for con-
gresham for that district, so when
the next election came around he was
sent back to Washington; now the
18th Missouri has the habit.
Clark is blonde giant, whose hair
is real crown of glory-though it
must not be said by anyone within
the reach of his strong right arm
and whose eyes are of steely blue.
or course his hair is white now. His
face is big, broad and massive and his
manners charming. For fifteen years
he has been the big gun on the demo-
cratic side. He is the best give and
lake debater in the house.

Miss Grace Shepherd, state super
intendent of public instruction-elect,
has appointed Miss Bernice Mccoy
deputy state superintendent. Miss
Mccoy was formerly county super
| intendent for Nez Perez county and
is now member of the Lewiston
state normal school faculty. She is
known and recognized in every Sec
ton Of Idaho as an able educator
and as one thoroughly acquainted
with school conditions as they exist
in the public school system of the
state. She was graduated from Lew
iston Normal in the class of 1898.
For four years she taught in the pub
lie schools, part of the time in Lew
iston. In 1902 she was elected
county superintendent of schools in
Nez Perez county and made such a
success in that Office that the people
returned her three terms. After that
she became member of the Lewis
ton faculty as grammar grade critic
and supervisor. Last year she did
special work in the teachers college
at Columbia university.
Miss McCoy's II years experience
in the public schools of Idaho will
prove valuable to the state in her
new work. 1t is said that no one is |
in closer touch with the school situa-
ton than is Miss Mccoy. While she |
was county school superintendent she |
became recognized throughout the
state as one of the ablest public Of
ficers in the educational branches.
Her appointment by Miss Shepherd
has met hearty commentator in all
sections of Idaho.

FIRE AT REXBURG PUBLIC
SCHOOL
Pupils Saved by New Fire Escape
building Emptied in Three Min.
utes. Fire Drill Played I'M
pOrtant Part

On Monday morning at clever
o'clock the fine big public schoo
building at Rexburg took fire from
the furnace and was soon in ruins
There were 618 pupils in the building
and when the fire alarm sounded
they supposed it was one of the
frequent drills they had been having
to get accustomed to the new fire
escape that had been installed in
The face of much opposition. 1t was
not until some excited person ran
through the hall screaming "Fire!''
that it became generally known that
part of the building was in flames.
Some of the pupils became stamped
ed, while others maintained perfect
order. Nobody was injured, and
many did not know the house was
afire until they passed out the doors
and beheld the column of smoke
pouring from the windows.
The building had been used for
three years with only one stairway,
and had the 9th one not been in
at the time of this fire about 500 of
the children would have been cut off
from escape except by jumping from
the windows or filing through the
fire and smoke.
1t is likely that the insurance will
cover the loss, and school will be
carried on in the old building while
tho new one is being reDaired

Byron Hyatt Named by Secretary o
State-Elect as Chief Clerk.
AS aresult of continuous boiling il
the political pot, with various claim
ants urging their demands for recog
milton in the matter of state jobs
several appointments have been set
tied upon for democrats and repub.
licans, and public announcements
were made Thursday.
Secretary of state-elect, w. l.. Gift
ford, stated that he had determined
after much consideration of the dii
ferent applicants, to appoint Byron
Hyatt of Boise chief CLERK in his
Office, while G. l.. Swormstedt of Nez
Perez county will be recording dep
uty.. These appointments are Gales
lated to satisfy the north an6 the
south.
Governor-elect Hawley, in declar-
ing his policy of appointment on the
grounds of honesty, efficiency and
service, has adhered to that purpose
in retaining George f. Isaacs as sup
erintendant of the Hay Spur fish
hatchery in Blaine county. Mr..
Isaacs held that position under the
republican administration, but he has
proved to be of such value as fish
expert that Mr.. Hawley, ignoring
purely political claimants, has decid-
ed to keep the incumbent. 1t Is un-
derstood that Mr.. Isaacs is retained
on urgent request of sportsmen
throughout the state both republi-
cans and democrats joined in asking
such retention. Mr.. Isaacs is consid-
cred one of the ablest experts in fish
culture in this country. This talent
apparently runs in the family, as his
father is a government expert and
his uncle is in the service of the
Smithsonian Institute. Mr.. Isaacs has
established a record in his special
line of work, and his continuance in
that Office under a democratic admin
istration is taken as an earnest of
Mr.. Hawley's avowed non-partisan
policy.

that one of the parties was in
New York and another was
about to sail for Europe, the
third was in British Columbia.
