The German emperor I ministry
of war have decided to introduce tie
aeroplane in some form into the reSu-
lar army equipment. with the intention
of attaching a flying corps to every
regiment.
1t is learned on excellent authority
that the emperor of Germany intends
to so for a cruise in the Mediterran-
| can as soon as the season is over, but
it is not likely that Greece will be Wis.,
tied this year. The empress may go
again to bbaZia with her daughter
and one of her SON for a week or two.
At Des Moines. Iowa, the court room
at the police station was recently
turned into d church, and a service was
conducted by the Rev. J. Calfee. an
evangelist, who took the judges usual
place and preached a sermon to the
| entire night shift of the Des Moines
| police force. One convert was made.
Serious ARRAYS between the police
and thousands of Socialists occurred
in Berlin and other cities of
| when the Socialists held meetings and
marched in the streets to protest
| against the proposed franchise bill Of
| the government. The police used their
sabers in dispensing the marchers, who
| in some places made a show of resist
| ance by throwing stones and other mis-
siles. Many We're wounded on both
sides before the police. with the aid
of soldiery, were able to repress tnc
demonstrations.
The new premier OF Spain is Jose
Canalejas Mcndes, who was called by
King Alfonso to head the liberal gov

most radical of monarcHists. In MS
first public sentiment he says he be-
lieves in acts rather than words, and
will submit definite reforms shortly.

HUNDREDS LOSE LIVES
IN IDAHO AVALANCHE
Burke and Mace Are Overwhelmed
by Huge Masses That Slide
Down Mountain.
FAMILIES TRAPPED IN SLEEP
Snowslides That Destroy Property
and People Started by Chinook
Winds and Warm Rains.

Sixty lives have been lost, it is fear.
ed, in two great suowslides which
brought dismay to the mining towns OF
the rich Occur d'Alene district in
Northern Idaho. Al 1875 o'clock the
other night q snowslide swept down
the mountain, striking the little town
OF Mace and burying twenty-five houses
and their sleeping occupants in a mass
of snow and ice at the bottom of the
canyon. At $50 a. m. the next day,
another slide rushed down on the town
of Burke, crushing a score Of houses
under thousands of ton of earth and
snow. There is fear that the number
of dead at Burke may be even lar 'fr
than that at Mace. Because OF the
larger population of Burke, about 800,
the houses were closer together.
Mothers hauled their children to the
side hills; brothers dragged little sis
tiers to places of safety, and when the
slide struck many of the homes were
deserted by fear-stricken women and
children, while the bread providers
were rescuing injured at the stricken
sister town.
Old-timers in the Occur d'Alene dis
trict had been sounding daily warnings
to Mace, Burke and Black Bear that
because of the record depth Of the
snow, slides were imminent. For six
teen winters these towns have cs-
capped devastating slides and so strong
had the confidence of the miner resi-
dents been that their homes and fami-
lies were safe that no precautions had
been taken.
The little mining town of Mace lies
between precipitous mountain sides, a
struggling line Of cottages in the creek
bottoms, bisected by the lines of the
Northern Pacific and Oregon Railroad
and Navigation Company. Its n L
dustry is mining and it's big mine IS
the Standard. With scarce a dividing
line p~erceptible the towns of Black
Bear, Gem, Mace and Burke form a
long string of houses for six miles.
Mace is divided into two parts,
known as Upper and Lower Mace, re-
spectively. The catastrophe occurred
in Lower Mace, where dwelt about 300
miners employed in the Standard

Though first reports Of the disaster
were that the town of Gem, Idaho, a
mile above Mace on the same side OF
the canyon, had been overwhelmed,
later news indicates that the town es-
capped. The slide was half a mile long
n thirty feet deep.

ON ICE FLoES FOR HOUPs.

Mother Saves Offspring and Herself
After Accident in Miami River.
Huddled, drenched and shivering, on
cakes Of ice, Mrs. William Evans and
her two little children floated for two
hours in the Miami river near Spring
field, O., the other night before they
could be rescued. The woman attempt
ed to ford the swollen river in a
buggy. A cake of ice struck the horse,
which reared and overturned the
vehicle. Mrs. Evans, keeping herself
afloat by holding to an ice cake, assist
ed her children aboard the ice and
then mounted another herself. All
were near collapse when rescued.

married to Frank Wurdell soon 1t is
alleged that Radtke once vowed before
Miss Luthens that she would never
marry any man but him. A part Of
the candy, when it was received by
Miss Luthens, was fed to a dog, which
Immediately died, it is alleged. DR..

Boys Open Switch with Idea OF
RobbinS Victims Bodies.
The arrest of George Lenko, aged 10
years; Stephen Yoski, IA years; Ed
ward Gydooski, -; Andrew Milken,
-. and Arthur Gydooski, 10, revealed
the attempt Of these youngsters to
wreck the early New Haven Railroad
train leaving New York shortly after
noon, for the purpose. as they confess
ed, of looting the bodies of the dead
and injured. They got so far as to
open the switch neal the east Port
Chester Comm freight yard. A
switchman happened to see them and
closed it in time to avert an accident.
The boys admitted that they were reg
ular attendants at moving picture
shows in Port Chester and had ac-
quired some of their ideas of outlawry
from the melo-dramatic scenes of the
canned drama"

ReIInquished Farm for Wife.

Clarence Bruning, a brother of County
Coroner Bruning, thought he was lucky
when he secured a homestead in the
Occur d'Alene reservation drawing, and
his friends agreed with him, The second
chapter Of the story comes in the follow
ing from the Tekoa Blade OF December
Is: "Clarence Bruning relnquished the
right to his homestead and married Miss
Mary Reddingshafer, who had fled on
claim near his. They went to the home
OF her sister, Mrs. 0 Anderson, at Cres
cent, Montana, to have their wedding
soemnized, and returned to their home
about two miles southeast of the Mission

The proposed wall will be built out of
large bridge timbers and second hand
poles. After having been rip-rapped in
front and filed in behind it will probably
last as lorg as a stone wall"
In reply to the above letter Mayor
Lippitt in part says:
"The proposition you make to the city
OF COltax is different from the personal
talk we had. In my opinion
the city would be ready to make you the
following proposition: If your company
will build this entire wooden wall, includ-
ing rip rap and all the filing south of
Island street, all complete, as shown on
your map and according to your letter,
for this the city will vacate to your
company that portion of the street

the above proposition as soOn as pos
sible."

Two Legal Holidays Proclaimed

Governor Hay having proclaimed Mon
day, December 26, and Monday, January
2 of the new year legal holidays the
banks will close on those dates. Christ,
mas and New Years fall on Sunday and
there was some question at one time
whether the governor would proclaim
the following Mondays legal holidays or
let the matter rest without action. State
ments both ways went the rounds of the
papers, but the governor finally set the
matter at rest by issuing his proclama-
ton. Presumably the county Offices will
also be closed to business on the dates
above named. The business houses in
Colfax will be closed on both days.
