PLATFORM ADOPTED BY
 DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION

The Democratic party is needed. No party can serve Connecticut effec- lively in which a nomination is the equivalent of an election. The vel fare of the State is assured only when the party in power knows it may lose its influence through intelligent. crit icism and opposition. Connecticut has needed that kind of criticism for many years and the Democratic party is in a position to offer it.

Finding Mark Twain by Faith.

. One evening a few years ago BrandeI Matthews and Francis Wilson were dining together at the Players club O. New York, when the former made the suggestion that they write a letter tc Mark Twain. 'But," objected MT. Will son. i've don't know where he is,'' foI it was at a time when MT. Clemens was away travelling somewhere. "Oh,' said Professor Matthews, "that does not make any difference. It is sure tC find him. I think he is some place ir Europe, so we had better put on 8 five cent stamp" So the two sat dow1 and composed a letter, which they ad dressed to Mark Twain, God Know. Where"
 Within three weeks they received 8 reply from MT. Clemens which said briefly, "He did" The letter had beer sent by the New York postoff1ce tt Harper & Bros, thence to Chatto & Windus of London, thence to a bank in Vienna and from the bank to the small town in Austria in which Mark Twain happened to be staying.-Book man.

KENCH PURSUED
 BY ANGRY WIFE
 HELD FOR BIGAMY

Held in bail of $2,500 on the charge of bigamy, Charles Kench, a decade ago familiar figure about the vfcin- ity of State and Water streets, where the woman alleged to be one of sev- eraI wives used to reside, declared to- day that woman's jealousy was re- sponsible for his plight.
 He denies the charge of bigamy and says he has been married but once.
 Kench was arrested at the railroad station Saturday night by Detective Fox. Lillian Grantham Kench of 832 Dewey street, caused the arrest, com Laney that sKench had abandoned her in 1904, to take up with another wo- man, after he had entered into a bigamous marriage with Miss Gran tham.
 According to the tale of the former Miss. Grantham, Kench married her July 4, 1902, and not until a year later secured a divorce from May marriage, she continued, that Kench, after becoming the father of two children, abandoned her while they were living with his parents in East
 Kench denied the first and third alleged marriages. Miss Grantham cared naught for marriage No. 1, but the supposed marriage No. 8 grated that she determined to punish her recreant spouse and brought up the old bigany charge to secure revenge.
 Kench has no hope of securing the $2, 500 bail, but he expects, he says, to clear himself when he is brought into the city court tomorrow. He says he is a shop hand. His parents were once well known residents of Derby where they conducted a hotel known as the Pink House. Kench says he is a shop hand now.

A Riro-.. carbed wire Fencea.


 There may be seen along the road sides in Central America brown wren about the size of a canary which builds a nest out of all proportion to it's ap parent needs. It selects a small tree with horizontal branches growing close together. Across two of the branches it lays sticks fastened together witt tough fiber until platform about six feet long by two feet wide has beer constructed. On the end of this plat form nearest the tree trunk it theL builds huge, dome shaped nest a fool or so high with thick sides of inteT woven thorns. A covered passageway is then made from the rest to the end of the platform in as crooked man ner as possible. Across the outer enc as well as at short intervals along the inside of this tunnel are placed cum ming little fences of thorES with jus1 space enough for the owners to pass through. On going out this opening is closed by the owner by placing thorns across the gateway, and thus the safe ty of the eggs or young is assured Harper's Weekly.

PAIL OF SUDS SAVES LIFE OF
 LITTLE MARY

By the merest chance a pail of water filled with suds for the Monday morning wash stood in the yard at 546 HarraI avenue, this morning, when Mary Gilbert, aged 4, set her clothes afire playing with matches.
 Mary's clothing was blazing mer- rily and the child was screaming at the top of her voice when a grocer S clerk entered the yard snatched up the pail of studs and nearly drowned the child and at the same time ex- tinguished the blaze.
 When Dr. Krause arrived in the ambulance the girl had been taken into her home and stripped of the burned clothing. She was burned about the body, but not dangerously. Dr. Krause applied dressing and left the child for the family doctor.

Cook, the Arctic explorer. is in Lon don, as recent cables to the United States declare him to be, he is doing an admirable job of e1f-effacement All London has been on the lookout since the announcement of his hiding in this city, but his retreat has not been penetrated.
 Every man with a Vandyke beard, flowing noustache and well brushed hair, characteristic of Cook. is being stopped by amateur and professional Sherlock Holmes and asked whether he is the man who said he found the North Pole. But all to no avail.
 No attic has been too squalid not cellar or sub-ce1lar too dark for the investigators, but the mystery is still undisclosed. A report that Cook had slipped away to Copenhagen to spend a few days with his old friend, the King of Denmark, is unconfrmed.

TAKEN FOR GRANTED.

When the county division ques-
ton was sprung it was taken for
granted that the people of Goodlng
and Rupert would support the
movement to a man, because their
interests pointed that way. By the
same token the people of the other
towns i'll the county were counted
on to support the other side of the
proposition. With few exceptions
this method of alignment was the
one adopted. There should be no
hard feelings on either side over
the result. The world admires
good fighter as we'll as a good lover.
but the rules Of the game require
that the winner shall be magnanlm
Gus and that the loser shall acqul-
esce when the battle has gone
against him.

NJ. w. Smith, candidate for the
legislature was on board the specia
from Gooding to Wendell.
F. C. Bush, general passenger
agent of the Idaho Southern. is to
be congratulated on the faultless
manner in which he handled the
party, being present at all times
and looking after the comfort of
the passengers.
Ed Merrifield, secretary of the
Commercial club, is due a vote of
thanks for the success of the trip
as it is owing to his untiring ef-
forts that the trip was arranged
and getting the boosters of Sho-
shone Interested.
Some of the old residents of Lin
coin county could scarcely believe
their own eyes when they saw the
rapid development that has taken
place on the tract i'll the past few
years.
Every man, woman and child OF
the party had good time and if
they did not it surely was their
own fault. All the unpleasant fea-
lures which usually attend such
excursions were eliminated.
The happy and jolly lot Of boost
crs had their pictures took" at
Wendell as they started from the
depot for up town.
Rev. Mr.. Roots was one of the
IiNliest boosters of the bunch, and
seemed to be at home when the
acknowledged chicken was passed
his way.

house, speaking alphabetically,

banquet at Wendell.
w. f. Albers and his brother of

were present to enjoy the sights OF
the North Side.
1t is to be hoped that this will not
be the last of the get together"
trips as there is nothing so help
ful to a new country as for each
and every neighboring town to pull
the same way for the good of the
whole county and the only way to
do this is to get acquainted.

The time viewing the sights of the
rapidly growing city, calling on the
business men aud getting better ac-
quainted Jerome will soon have a
$4,000 school house completed,
which speaks for itself as to the
class Of citizens they have there.
The next thing in order was a
banquet at the famous North Side
Inn, and to say that the Shoshone-
lies did full justice to the splendid
feast of good things is putting it
mildly indeed. Everything that wa;
good was placed before the guests
III that faultiess manner that only
Manager Eagen is the past master
Of. After the banquet was cOnclud-
ed the crowd was called together in
the rotunGa Of the inn and three
hearty cheers and a tiger were Civ
en- for the Ladies Of Jerome, the
Commercial club and the wide-a-
wake citizens in general.
Dancing was then resumed at the
hall which kept the guest engaged
until about l0:30 O'Clock when ii wa
announced that the train was in
waiting. The crowd then bid good
bye to their Jerome hosts, only too
sorry that they were compelled to
leave so soon, each and every one
loud in their praise for the good
time they had been shown by the
citizens of that coming metropolis.
The return trip was made in very
good time and a tired but happy
bunch arrived home about 1 o'clock
Friday morning, singing nothing
but praise for our neighbOrs to the
south and vowing that when the
visit is returned to get even with
the North Siders by showing them
the best time of their lives. II isl
to be hoped that it will only be
short time until they will make us
a visit and they are assured of a
hearty welcome to the county cap
