Lost To Reubens.

Cottonwood bumped the bumps
again at Reubens Tuesday when
it lost to the team at that place
by the close score of 3 to l in a
hotly contested game. Cotton
wood annexed it's lone score in
the first inning when Hayes hit
the ball over the fence for home
run. Reubens then tightened
up and shut the visitors out for
the rest of the game. Reubens
was shut out until the sixth in
ming when they got one man
home and tied the score. In the
seventh they got in two more
runs on some exceptionally lucky
hitting and won the game.
The battery for Cottonwood
was Rustemeyer and Hayes and
for Reubens White and Cleve-
land. R. B. Shelter, of Win
chester, umpired the game.
AS a result of last Sundays
games Nezperce and Cottonwood
were tied for first position but
the game Tuesday puts Nezperce
in the lead. However that team
has played one game less than
Cottonwood and if it should hap
pen to lose today to Grangevllle
the tie will still exist.
The local team will go to Nez-
perce Sunday to play and hopes
to take that team into camp.
Quite a large crowd of "rooters -
will accompany the team to Nez-
perce to help it bring home
victory.

NeZpercc Won Game.

Nezperce won from the TO-
Vollmer team Sunday afternoon
by score of IA to 7. The visit
ors were particularly strong at
the bat, scoring in every inning
except the first. Ilo-Vollmer
opened the batting party by
bringing a man over the home
plate in the first inning, and the
visitors caught the fever and
played merry-go-round during
the remaining eight innings.
The feature of the game was a
home run by Dorset, of the Ilo-
Vollmer team.
The Nezperce tean1- came to
Ilo-Vollmer in a special train and
accompanied by about 100 fans.
The fans were we'll drilled in

A Bad Idaho Outlaw.

William r. Kidd, railroad con-
ductor, is dead. Samuel Mellon,
deputy sheriff, seriously wound
ed. Edgar McGill, ranchman,
wounded. Reitben Scott, watch
man, three fingers shot away.
Robert Oley, constable, wound
ed. These are the known vic
tins Of an outlaw as pitiless, as
desperate as ever defied the
forces of law in the northwest
says a Pocatello dispatch. Added
to the identified sufferers there
may be others, whose fate has
yet to be learned. 1t is rumored
that the bandit has killed his
former partner in crime and
there is an unconfrmed report
from Blackfoot, Idaho, that with
in few hours the man had a boy
secure possession of the fresh
horse the outlaw was riding.
Hugh Whitney is the name un-
der which the desperate is known
to the officers. Bloodhounds
have taken up his trail at times,
only to be eluded by the super
human cunning of the fugitive
who doubled on his tracks, took
to running water and otherwise
baffied the animals. New crimes
are expected hourly as long as
the desperate man is at large.

INSPECTOR HERE
visited at GrangeviIle This Week
and Stated He Found Much Ap-
pie Scab in Prairie Orchards
other Pests are Scarce.

State Horticultural Inspector
}. U. Mcpherson, in company
with Henry Murry, deputy in
spector for Idaho, Lewis and
Clearwater counties, was in
Grangeville and Idaho county
early this week going over the
territory with the local deputy.
Mr.. Mcpherson states that he
hnds the fruit trees fairly free
from disease with the exception
of the apple trees on the Prairie
which are badly infected with
scab. But one orchard was
found with scale. The codling
moth has also taken up its abode
in Idaho county orchards and
considerable of the shrubbery is
infected with aphos.
The inspector states that while
it is not the desire of the depart
ment to work any hardships up
on the people, the laws in regard
to spraying and the destruction
of diseases and pests must be ad-
hered to. Some have been a
little negligent in the matter and
paid no heed to the orders of the
local inspector. The head of the
department states that if they
continue to ignore these orders
some arrests will follow. Fifteen
arrests have been made of parties
in various parts of the state and
conviction secured in every in
stance. Mr.. Mcpherson states
that while we may not be raising
fruit in a commercial way in Ida
no county at the present time the
day is not far distant when such
will be the case and it is propos-
ed to keep Idaho county free
from tree diseases.
Heretofore the laws in this re,
gard have been flagrantly ignor-
ed and Idaho has been the dump
ing ground of all kinds of dis,
eased trees. This spring saw 6
change and every shipment OF
trees and shrubbery had to pass
inspection or be destroyed. Over
500, 900 trees were inspected and
about five per cent condemned

man, is ripe in experience IL

THE FATE OF EMPIRES

The meaning of life has in all ages been the
goal OF human thought and the great extension
OF our knowledge of the past, by the researches
or recent years, enables now to view the
course OF human changes with more complete
ness than has been the before. In place of
looking on the fall of the Roman empire as a
mcnstrous and inexplicab1e fact, we now see that
civilization is not only intermittent, but reg
ularly recurrent phenomenon"
This was the theory propounded by Prof Film
ders Petrfe In lecture delivered at the ROYAL
institution on The Revolutions of Civilization"
In Egypt, said the lecturer, can trace eight
Civilizations; the first prehistoric; the second
prehistoric, the early dynastic, the pyramid build
ers. the middle kingdom (XIIth dynasty), the EN-
pire 4(AvIIIth Dynasty. the Greek and the Arab
The rise and fall of art In each of these periods
be well illustrated Similar periods are
found in Europe, the early, middle and late Gre
tan, the classical and the medieval These pc

civilization seems distinct unit, rising

assigned LOO years as the period of race. after
which it must be succeeded by another.
The various activities of man, according to
Professor Petrie, related In the order
In each successive period This be best
traced in the medieval and classical periods,
where the stages of sculpture, painting, ltera-
ture. music, mechanics, science and wealth
spread over some seven centuries These stages
were nearer together in earlier ages, but the
der was always the far be traced
The starting point of each cfvilization-as of
each generations mixture of blood With
out fusion of fresh start be made
About six or eight centuries needed for the
rise to the sculpture stage The growth of civil
lzation largely consists in lengthening out Of
the subsequent stages of activity, and diminu-
ton of the stagnant period before new mix
ture is started The period seems to belong to
the people and not to the country, and Is kept
by the people when they go to land of diff
ferent phase.
Though, doubt, climatic periods have q
precipitati1g effect in throwing people to
another, yet the general regularity OF interval
of the stages of growth of civilization point to
q racial determinant- This may be the time re-
quired to promote the maximum mixture of diff
