CAPTAIN OF CO. |

d. B. Bailey is now captain Of Co.
L, the local organization OF the Ore
gon National guard. The election to
fill the vacancy caused by the resig-
nation of Dan P. Smythe, was held
last evening and Bailey was unani-
mously chosen to head the company.
The election Of Bailey comes in the
nature of a reward of merit for he has
been an active and enthusiastic men,
Der of the company since 1t was first
formed. nearly three years ago. He
entered the ranks at that time and
has steadily advanced from fifth SER
geant to his present position, which
is the highest one within the gift OF
the company.
The positions of first and second
lieutenants are also vacant and these
will be filled Immediately by Captain
Bailey. He said this morning, how
ever, that he was not yet ready to
announce the names of the men who
would be appointed to these positions.

EVANGELIST USES DAVID'S
LIFE AS AN EXAMPLE

Evangelist Ledford at the Baptist
church last night preached an exposi-
tory sermon from the 51st Psalm. The
whole psalm was his text From it he
showed the power of a godly life. Da-
vid's life was a wholesome life and
had on it only one blot. His example
of confession and repentance was for
that one lapse. Gods command is to
make straight paths for our feet. Only
so can ones influence count for God
among the goddess.
The evangelist's wonderful familiar
ity with Gods word and his clear cut
messages from the Bible to the people
hold the attention and interest of ev-
cry hearer present. In spite of the
bad weather the crowd was good and
the interest of the meeting is grow
ing. Many bear testimony of the help
full words of the preacher He will
preach and sing tonight at 1880. All
are invited to come.

play that one would really enjoy II II
were presented by the very best OF
actors under the very best of circum-
stances and last night the patter OF
the rain on the roof with the wind
whistling around the corners OF the
old play house did not tend to relieve
in any measure the natural gloom that
prevailed throughout the play.
The author was evidently suffering
from a bad attack of indigestion when
he composed the piece and he almost
forgot to look for the silver lining to
the clouds which obscured his sky.
With the single exception Of Polly
Jordan" every member of the troupe
was veritable GLOOMY Gus"
THE Great Divide" is a strong dra-
ma, but the monologues and moral
izing dialogues were too long, numer-
Gus and tedious to please a critical
audience. The actors also frequently
got beyond their depth and altogeth-
er it was not a very satisfactory pro-
duction, though there were occasional
bursts of really good acting.

Roosevelt are worried today over the
statement of Captain Fritz Duques-
ne, the noted African hunter that
Roosevelt is likely to stricken with
either sleeping sickness or the Afri-

the edge of the seat, the woman
screamed. The flames flashed around
her neck.
The victim Of the accident declar-

still struggling with ice and snow
endeavoring to release the imprjson-

cries for help have been heard COM

rise to hope that many Of those i'm

THE DAY in
THE MARKETS

The entire local mining market has
shown an activity during the last
few days that has surprised the
spectators. The strength has been
largely due TO improved showings in
the Reindeer, Missoula Copper and
Alameda, and these stocks have re-
sponded to the better conditions in
good shape. Renders rise during
the last few days from to IA cents
as well as Alameda's advance to IA
cents, has given a better undertone
to the market. The past two years
of steady development work that has
been going on in a large number of
properties is commencing to show
material results.
The Alice and Star are both ship
ping and viii likely be put on the
dividend list some time this year.
Mineral Farm is more than meeting
the expectations of it's hackers. East
ern brokerage houses of more or less
prominence are taking very kindly
to the better class of Occur dAlene
