C. P A. Quarterly Meeting.

The regular quarterly meeting Of
Butler lodge, Central Protective As
| sociation, was held in the Grand Jury
rooms at the court house, on Satur-
day afternoon at 2:30 O'Clock. Be-
sides the regular order of business,
ten new members were initiated into
the order. The C. P. A. demonstrate
ed on two occasions in the past few
months its efficiency in running down
horSethieves. On the first occasion
the county was thoroughly picketed
in few hours after telephone mes
sage had announced that neighbor's
horse had been stolen, and members
were securing the county in search
of the animal and supposed thief.
This unfortunately proved a false
alarm, but il demonstrated the eff
cheney of the organization. The next
call came when a Cass county horse
was stolen, and the thieves were cap
tured in north Bates soon after they
crossed the county line. II would
have been impossible for them to
have passed through the county even
if they had evaded the vigilance of
the sheriff's force, for all the main
roads and by ways were picketed by
c. p. A. members.

sale of Thomas Stanton's blooded
herd of cattle at William Georges
Brooklin farm near Aurora yesterday.

PIGEON Whistles of Pekin.

The smallest musical instruments in
the world are the pigeon whistles OF
Pekin They are made Of thinnest
bamboo and tiny gourds scraped to pa
per-Iike delicacy and fastened beneath
the tail feathers of the carrier pi-
geons. AS the birds fly through the
air these instruments emit weird
aeolian melody like the harps Of fairy
land. Every morning and afternoon
the vault of Pekin's sky is swept by
these sweet. mournful notes as the
birds fly to and fro. carrying messages
to the bankers. the merchants, the law
yers. invitations, letters, stock quota
tons, a system older than the tele-
graph or telephone or the oldest letter
service. as old as time itself There
are some twenty different kinds of
pigeon whistles. some Of them simple
bamboo tubes with but one top and
some as deliberately constructed as
miniature organ pipes. They are all
of featherweight lightness and when
held in the hand and swept through
the air emit the same delicate whis-
Ting notes as when borne through the
upper atmosphere by the carrier pi-
geonS.

Prof. King to Leave Newport Schools

Prof. l.. K. King, principal of the
Newport schools, has been elected to the
superintendency of the Grangeville.
Idaho, schools anil will accept the poei-
ton.
The new position carries with it a
substantial increase of salary over what
Newport has paid in the past, and is a
promotion for Mr.. King, as Grangeville
is considerably larger than our town and
has a more advanced school system.
There were $50 applicants for the posi-
tion
During the four years that Mr.. King
has been at the head of the Newport
schools. he has organized the high school
and brought il to the point where it is
accredited by the State University, &C.
complishing in four years time what
many other towns have been unable to
do in longer period. His individual
efforts are largely responsible for the
high standing of our schools, and the
good work he has done will be more
appreciated in later years, as founda-
ton has been laid for a further advance
ment. There will be many to regret
that Mr. King is to sever his connection
with the Newport schools.

A Diplomatic Official.

During the reign Of Emperor Napo-
leon III. he and the empress visited
Normandy and had arranged to spend
couple of days at Evreux NJ. Jan
vier de la Monte, who was the project,
learned that the revolutionaries intend
ed to hiss the sovereigns as they pass
ed, and so he summoned the leaders of
the movement and told them that he
knew of their plot. IF you carry out
your plan," said he to them, you will
get six months In prison. II you do
not your friends will accuse you Of
cowardice and treason. Al 4 way out
Of the difficulty l propose to lock you
up at once until the emperor has
gone" The conspirators accepted the
terms offered them, and so the en-
peror was greeted only by cheers, as
the revolutionaries, frightened at the
arrest of their chiefs, had not dared to
utter a sound After the emperor and
empress had gone the project went in
person to release his prisoners, who
had had such a pleasant time that they
greeted him with cries of "Long live

new LIGHTING SYSTEM ON
Newport Best Lighted Town In
Northwest.
Installed at the Cost of $1,000.

After several months of delay caused
by the non-arriyal of parts OF the
equipment, Newport's street lighting
system was completed and turned on for
the first time Tuesday evening. The
system has been installed by the North
ern Idaho & Montana Power Co. at a
cost of over $1,000 The old street light
ing system, poles, wiring and all, has
been discarded.
The lights, as located by the town
council, provide for illumination OF all
parts of the town. Eight arc lights OF
1000 candle power each are used and 26
tungsten incandescents of 32-candle
power. The cost to the city is 1925 per
month for the arcs and $l.25 per month
for the ncandescents, making total
monthly cost to the town of $82 so. The
light system is on separate circuit from
the business and residence lines and is
not turned on until required. In Old
Town the street lights are still connected
with the. old system.
The arc lights are of the type known
as metallic series arcs. and are the latest
and best type of arcs produced for street
lighting purposes. There is nothing
better made and the Northern Idaho &
Montana Power Co. has again shown
enterprise in furnishing us with model
street lighting system, which is unsur-
passed in any town the size of Newport
in the Northwest.
In order to illuminate the arcs a spe-
cial equipment known as "tub" is
necessary to transform the electricity
from direct 20 alternating current. This
machine is located in the new sub-sta-
ton. In order to get this type of light
it was necessary for the town to take the
equivalent OF fifteen arcs, as they can
only be operated in series.
Night illumination, such as Newport
now has, cannot fail to make good
impression on visitors and passengers on
the transcontinental trains that pass
through here at night. 1t stamps the
community as up-to-date and progressive
and as police protection is worth mole
than its cost to the town. Viewpoints
public utilities are of high order and
the spending of so much money here is
an indication of faith in the future pros
peritv and growth of the town.

The Incident That Helped Verdi With
His "Miserere."

F1iS nj Serere.
Men of genius are confessedly crea-
lures Of mood. Grief and adversely
have often been a real help to them
rather than hindrance Poe, 1t is
said, produced THE Raven while sit
ting at the bedside OF his sleeping but
dying wife. Many similar instances
might be cited, but an anecdote Of
Verdi, told by Carlo Ceccarelli, will
suffice.
On one occasion when Verdi was en-
gagged on his well known opera. III
Trovatore,' he stopped short at the
passage Of the "Miserere." being at
loss to combine notes of sufficient sad
ness and pathos to express the grief
of the prisoner, Manrico
Sitting at his piano in the deep STILL
ness Of the winter night, his imagina-
ton wandered back to the stormy days
of his youth, endeavoring to extract
from the past plant, a groan, like
those which escaped from his breast
when he saw himself forsaken by the
world. All in vain!
One day at Milan be was unexpect-
edly called to the bedside Of a dying
friend, one of the few who had re-
NAMED faithful to him in adversely
and prosperity. Verdi at the sight Of
his dying friend felt lump rise in bis
throat. He wanted to weep, but so in
tense was his grief that not a tear
flowed to the relief Of his anguish.
In an adjoining room stood a piano.
Verdi, under one Of those sudden i'm
pulses to which men of genius are
sometimes subject. sat down at the in
strument and there and then impro-
vised the sublime "Miserere" Of the
''Trovatore." The musician had given
utterance to his grief.

Illustrated by this fashion note' from
West Africa taken from an italian

For some time the officials of the
German colony in Southwest Africa
noticed that the telegraph wires and
other accessories of the electrical plant
disappeared as by magic Immediately
after they had been put up. The most
diligent inquiries remained fruitless.
From other parts of the German DOS
sessions came reports Of strange pre-
objections for articles Of German COM
merce, as, for example, rubber heels.
carriers, buckles, and so forth, things
which the natives of those countries do
not generally use.
The governor Of the colony gave an
entertainment one year In honor OF
the emperors birthday and invited the
chiefs of the different tribes to It.
what was his surprise when he saw
these native gentlemen appear with
his stolen telegraph wires twisted
round their illustrious : necks. The
higher the dignity the more rings OF
the wire were round the neck.
Inquiries were soon started in the
outlying villages, and it came to light
that the white china insulators Of the
telegraph poles had become earrings.
