the regiment but was indefatigable in
his labors TO organize the regimental
association.

president of the association; DR.. Will

for the reunion.

AINSWORTH SHONE.

1t had been intended to send Nc
Innes against Bloomsbury on Satur-
day, and he actually did Omen the
game in the box, although he knew
himself that he was not in condition.
His shoulder was somwhat stiff from
Thursdays II innings gruolliug ard
lie could not, on Saturday, get warm
ed up properly and had no control. So
with one down in the second innings
Ainsworth took mp the battle.
OF the 30 men who faced him Aims
worth struck ont l,three times whitf-
ing the side. Seven times Bloomsbury
was enabled to connect safely with the
scarlet singers delivery, but only two
of these, occurring in the eighth aided
Bloomsbury scoring aspirations.
With beautiful control he combined
fine head work i'll placing his shoots
Just where the foreign batters didn't
want them, and kept them guessing
and hammeriug the air Intellectually
all the time.
Back of Ainsworth the team, barr
ing two rather excusable errors, field
ed steady game, Brennan taking
things prettily at second. and Buck
having at least one fine, quick piece
of headwork when his throw caught
Karl at third. The steady playing Of
Captain Nipple and McCarty was
again to the fore. The outfielders had
but one chance and that went to Mack
in right.
With the willow Mackert and Nc
Carty, with their two beautiful home
runs, were the bright luminaries that
outshone all others and incidentally
won the game.
Bloomsbury had scored one run in
the second innings, when Shawkey,
after Crossin's strike out, whacked to
the left field fence for two bags and
Mitchell followed it with a hard hit
bouncer over the third bag. Here Aims
worth took McInnes place and allow
ed Evans to hit to right, but the rally
was terminated when Mitchell was
caught asleep at the second post and
Hine took the count of three.
Danville was listening closely for a
noise like tally when the locals came
in for their second bat With one
down, Veith took one of Karl's passes
to himself and trotted to first Mack
ert then stepped up to the plate and,
selecting a lovely one from the deliv-
cry of Karl, surprised everybody
(if the sterling Mackert will pardon
the impertinence) by lamming the
leather viciously in the direction of
the center field fence. High, high up
the ball went, so high that it seemed
impossible to the spectators that il
could clear the fence. But on it went
over the worried head of Hine and
sunk itself in the unhallowed ground
outside the paid admission area. II
was sure a grand wallop and, as the
high brows say, it came at the pscho.
logical moment.
OF course everybody knew the game
was won right there, but still the ner.
vous ones felt easier after the third
when McCarty duplicated the feat of
Mackert in the End. In this session
Wagner, with two down, placed a neat
single into the left section, and Nc.

A RIGID RULE

J. II. Cole called attention to the
fact that the school buildings have
never been in better condition and he
stated that it now should devolve up
ON the teachers to see to it that the
buildings and school furniture are TAX
en- care Of He was in favor of hold
ing the pupils strictly accountable for
the cutting of desks, and the defacing
of school property in other ways.
When the guilty pupils have not been
detected he said he is in favor of hold
ing the teachers responsible, as it is
their duty to know what is going on
in their school rooms.
BY referring to the minutes it was
shown that there is a rule already in
force covering the ground, which will
be enforced.

BECKMAN'S CASE.

Joseph Beckman was charged with
committing assault and battery on
Henry Peyton at the Reading Iron
works. He also laid the blame to
strong drink, but declared he had led
a sober life for long time before the
fight, which landed him in Jail. He
was determined to do better, he said,
and had made up his mind never to
touch taste nor handle liquor again.
He was so emphatic IN this that Judge
Evans said he would take him at his
word and give him a chance.
Sentence on Becllman was accord.

He was warned by the court, however,

suspended, will be passed.

Haven, appeared before court in the
interest of Miss Harriet Brandon of

hospital for the insane, whose condi-
tion the Commission in Lunacy re-
Gently passed upon, recommending for
her parole of 30 to GO days, during
which time she should be in the hands
of her friends who would be expected
to look after her.
Dr. Meredith and DR.. Robbins, sup
erintendent and assistant respectively,
were present at court. They described
the patients condition and explained
that the recommendation of the com
mission on lunacy had not been carri.
ed out for the reason that it had been
found impossible to comply with the
terms. The patient although very
anxious to leave thesHospital objected
to taking up her residence with any of
her relatives or friends in this local

A WORKING CAPITAL

a matter which came in for great
deal of earnest discussion was the pro-
posed bill providing for an allowance
to each of the State hospitals for the
insane that will enable them to pay
for supplies within reasonable time
after they are delivered. AS it is per-
sons who sell beef and merchandise of
any sort to the hospitals have no de-
finite idea when they will be paid and
are often obliged to wait many months.
a general movement is on foot tU
bring about the enactment of law
providing working capital.
MUST PAY DEBTS
The matter of delinquent employees
at the hospital who offend by neglect
ing to pay their debts was also discuss
ed al length. 1t appears tina. our mer-
chants and others are considerable an
noyed by this class of employees The
trustees strongly condemned practices
such as complained of whether they
be caused by dishonesty or mere neg
ligence and went on record as dvising
that employees who fail to pay honest
debts should be held strictly account
able.

BLAMED DRINK.

Hartman S case was taken up first.
S. w. Morgan, the prosecutor, on be-
ing called to the stand told the story
of the assault, which took place at the
Structural Tubing works on June 30
last. Hartman acknowledged that he
was guilty of the assault on Morgan
but declared that there were extenuat-
ing circumstances. He had not been
getting his just dues at the works, he
said on that particular occasion he
was taunted by the employees and be-
ing slightly under the influence of
drink he was easily goaded on till he
took things into his own hands. He
described the punishment he had re-
ceived at the hands of the employees,
who turned upon him, and reminded
the court that he in turn had received
pretty good licking" He declared
that drink primarily was the cause of
his trouble and expressed determina-
tion in the future to abstain from over
Indulgence.
Hartman had been in Jail since June
30th, a circumstance which had the
effect of reducing his sentence some
what. He was given sixty days in Jail,
in addition to which he was sentenced
to pay the costs of prosecution, some
Sl2, and fine of six cents.
In passing sentence Judge Evans
warned Hartman against future in
diligence in drink and of what he
might expect if he appeared before
him again.

ONLY ONE PLAN
WAS RECEIVED

The trustees of the hospital for the
insane held meeting at the institu-
tion yesterday. The date of the regular
meeting was Thursday of last week,
but quorum failed to appear and it

The following members were pres

ONE PLAN RECEIVED
Pursuant to action taken at the pre-
vious meeting plans for tuberculosis
building had been advertised for. This
does not imply that the trustees are
prepared to proceed with the erection
of such building. The object rather
was to decide upon plans SO as to ar
rive at an estimate of the cost of tu-
berculosis building to the end that no
mistake might be made when the bill
is shaped for the next appropriation.
1t transpired, however, that only
one plan had been received up to yes
terday, although it was reported that
other plans are nearly ready to be SUBJ
mitted Under the circumstances it
was decided yesterday not to accept
plan at that time but to postpone all
action relative to the matter until the

ENTRYMEN MAYERE-
LINOUISH LAND

The following correspondence pass

Stone Of Caldwell is seif-explanat0ry
and relates to q matter of supre Ilt
Importance to settlers in the Payette-
Boise project.
Washington, D. C. Nov. 30.-Dear Mr.
Stone: have yours of the 26th rela-
tive to the action OF the Secretary OF
the Interior in refusing to allow any
further homestead filings within r~cla-
nation projects until there has been
established a unit of acreage and fixed
water charges, etc.
appreciate fully the Importance OF
securing some relief against this hold
ing and | have had the matter Up with
the Secretary of the Interior ard {
have hopes we will secure a modlfi-
cation of the regulation so as to ex-
empt the lands upon which original
entry has been made from this ruling.
In my opinion the law was never in
tended to apply nor does it apply to
projects begun and where the lands
had been entered, The object and pur-
pose OF the law was to prevent early
settlement before the projects had been
commenced and before anything defin-
te was determined as to when the
water would be supplied 1t was never
intended and do not think the law in
fact applies to such cases as the Boise
Payette project where the lands have
all been entered.
1t Is possible we may secure a modi-
ication of the rule to that extent. L
vent over thi smatter this morning
before receiving your letter very
thoroughly with the law officer of the
department. and while am not assur-
I'd OF that result l have hopes from
my conversation with him that that
may result. I think they are entirely
friendly to it If they feel they have
he power to do 1t. II not l presume
he next thing to do would be to try to
put through a law at once providing
his exception and which will permit
:ntrymen to relinquish a portion of

slant attention and will continue to do
