LAND OPEN FOR ENTRY.
(Shoshone Journal.

U. S. Commissioner Disney has
received word from the Haley Land
Office that on December goth, all
the land lying south of Shoshone,
and both east and west of town for
several miles will be thrown open
for homestead and desert land en-
try. An official notice is published
elsewhere in this issue. This land
includes about three and one-hali
townships, or one hundred and
tyenty-six square miles, which
makes S0,640 acres. 1t is hard to
realize that such a vast body Of
land adjoining our town should be
open for settlement. This is a larg.
er tract than is embraced in many
counties of the older states, and to
a person who is not used to the di-
mansions of our western states, il
does look large indeed. While d
considerable portion of this land is
rocky and uneven, yet there are
thousands of acres that are level
and lie well and will make the best
of farms. The soil of all the land
is the very best and is unexcelled
anywhere in the world. 1t is
thought that this land will be taken
up by settlers eager to obtain a por-
ton of the public domain and that
the settling of this territory will
materially advance the interests of
our town.

inn Comnfaints

ing (omp aintS.
You cannot be over-careful In the
selection OF medicine for children.
Only the very gentlest bowel medicine
should ever be given. except In emer-
gency cases. Ordinary pills. cathartics
and purGatives are apt to do more
harm than good. They may cause
gripping. nausea and other distressing
after-efects that are frequently health
destroying.
We personally recommend and guar
antee Rexall Orderlies as the safest
and most dependable remedy. which
We know. for constipation and associ-
ate bowel disorders. We have such
absolute faith in the virtues Of this
remedy that we sell II on our guar
antee Of money back In every instance
where 1t fails to give entire satlsfac-
ton. and We urge all In need OF such
medicine to try 1t at our risk.
Rexall Orderlies are eaten Just like
candy. are particularly prompt and
agreeable in action. may be taken at
any time. day or night; do not cause
diarrhpa. nausea. gripping. excessive
looseness. or other undesirable effects
They have a very mild but positive
action upon the organs with which
they come in contact. apparently act
Ing as a regulative tonic upon the re-
laxed muscular coat OF the bowel, thus
overcoming weakness. and aiding to
restore the bowels to more vigorous
and healthy activity.
Rexall Orderlies commonly complete

1t is reported that the visitors at
the land show are standing in line
for hours, waiting to register for the
land drawing on December 18th.
Frank Reid writes from Chicago
that the Idaho exhibit at the Land
Show is the best thing there and
that Idaho lands are the principal
topic of conversation.

CHICAGO LAND SHOW.
Special Correspondent.

at the Coliseum, Chicago, last Sat
urday afternoon, and from indica-
tions and expressions from the pub
lie, is the best of the shows that has
been held. All of the exhibits
were not in place at the time of the
opening, but a little added work
soon put them in the best Of shape.
1t is conceded by public opinion
that Idaho has the best exhibits,
and particularly does the potato
display of the North Side tract at
tract much attention. The display
is on the north side Of the building
"a very favorable spot to attract
the attention of the pasSer- bv-and
consists Of tiers Of various varieties
of potatoes, in the center OF which are
few tiers OF apples grown on the
Bickell and Perrine ranches. At
the base of the tiers are boxes Of
potatoes, showing the method of
wrapping for fancy trade, all con-
tributed by the generous public on
the tract.
November oath was Idaho Po-
tato Day." and 10000 boxes of po-
tatoes were given away. These
boxes were of heavy cardboard,
each holding about three or four
potatoes, and printed on the out
side covers at the top were the
words Take me and bake me. "
Idaho could very easily have a po-
tato day every day during the ex-
hibit, for there seems to be such a
demand for them, and people are
continually wanting TO know wheth-
er the potatoes will be sold after the
show, and many are willing to give
almost any price for the fancy boxed
potatoes Not only were the pota-
toes given away, but arrangements
were made with the prominent
hotels throughout the city to cook
potatoes from Idaho, and have
on their bills-of-fare, and advertise
that they were from Idaho.
There is an abundance of litera-
ture being given away, some very
attractive booklets gotten out by
Mr.. HOLSTER and Major Reed,
which attract a good deal of atten-
ton.
Especially does the North Side
tract booth draw the people owing
to the Carey Act land opening oc-
curringI at Jerome on the 18th of
December. 1t is now possible to
register for this drawing in Chicago,
and this alone is an advantage to
people who could not possibly go
out there. Thousands of people
have signifed their intention to reg
lister for this opening.
The display of Idaho apples is
also particularly attractive, and is
in charge. of representatives from
the Boise Valley, where most of the
apples came from.
Idaho is deserving a great deal Of
credit for the display of her products
and especially is the display of the
North Side tract worthy ofcomment
and credit should be given those who
had charge of the placing of thi.
exhibit.

HELD AS SHOPLIFTER.
Wealthy New York Girl Hailed Into
Police Court.

New York, Dec. 24-Miss Frances Lit
tlefieId, of 151 West Seventy-fifth street,
daughter OF Mrs. Agnes H. Little
field, was arraigned in the Jefferson
Market Police Court to-day on the charge
of stealing a gold locket from a Broad
way department store. She was released
on bail until next Wednesday, when a
final disposition of the case will be made,
her mother pledging her $4,000 residence
in Seventy-fifth street as surety.
Quite a commotion was created in the
Police Court when Miss Littlefield ap-
peared. She was clad in a gown of
stylish cut over which she wore a long
sealslxin coat, to which a large bunch of
Pink roses was pinned. She gave her
age as twenty-four, but she looked
younger. She was a very handsome
young woman, and with her mother and
attorney, former Assistant Attorney Ely,
seemed totally uninterested in the sur
roundings. Magistrate Barlow escorted
the party to his chambers. When the ar
raignment was made later he quickly
gave orders for the adjournment.
The charge against the young woman
was made by Miss Nora Bennett, a pri-
vate detective, employed by the store.

FAMOUS SURGEON
Is RESTING EASILY

New York, Dec. A.-The condition of
DR.. Charles H. Mayo, the famous sur
geon of Rochester, MINI, who under
went an operation a week ago for ap-
pendicitis and went under the knife again
yesterday for Inflammation of the gall
bladder, was unchanged tonight. He
was resting comfortably at the Presby-
terian Hospital
At his bedside is his brother, DR.. Will
lam J. Mayo, who made a flying trip
from Rochester to New York, arriving
this morning. DIR. Mayo arrived in New
York at 9 o'clock this morning, after a
remarkably fast trip from his home in
the Northwest. Part OF the journey was
made on an engine. When Dr. Mayo
and the nurse, whom he brought With
him, arrived in st. Paul from Rochester,
they Immediately took a special train for
Chicago, where they arrived at 11:35 yes
terday morning. They spent a few hours
in Chicago, boarding the Pennsylvania
special at 2:45 that afternoon, making
the run to New York on the regular
schedule time of that flyer.
DR.. Mayo was optimistic tonight over
his brothers condition. He says that his
recovery will naturally be slow, as he is
now really recovering from two oper-
ations. Indications at present, however,
are highly favorable for the patient,
whose case is expected to take the regu-
lar course.

BENNET Is GLAD
THAT HE Is ALIVE
Doesn't GrumbIe at Absence
from Home.

In a private room at Casualty Hos
pital, where he has been since the day
several weeks ago when he was muir
derously assaulted and robbed, Morris
Bennett, the grocer of Cedar Heights, last
night declared that separation from ones
home and family on Christmas Eve is
not much OF a hardship for a man who
has just crept from the shadow of death
and regained his speech after believing
for weeks that he would never again be
able to talk.
I'm happy and my wife is happy and
the baby is too young to be sad" said
Bennett Just a few weeks ago l didn' t
know whether 1 was going to live to see
Christmas, and I'm mighty glad to be
alive, even though l can't be home with
wife and the baby. Then you see can
talk, and 1t was not many days ago that
the doctors told me they were doubtful
whether l ever would be able to speak. I"
Physicians say Bennett would have been
allowed to return home If it had not
rained all of yesterday. He has almost
entirely recovered from the effects of the
attack that was made on him with a
hatchet, 1t is alleged by James Smith,
who is in the District jail awaiting trial
for assault with intent to kill.
Mrs. Bennett called TO see her husband
yesterday and expected him to return
home with her She was disappointed,
but did not allow her husband to know
it. She spent several hours with him, and
then left after an affectionate "good-by.
II to-day is clear, Bennett probably will
be allowed to return to Cedar Heights.

SAD CHRISTMAS
FOR TWO WOMEN
Held at Detention House for
Alleged SWindle.

Broken in spirit by the gloomy pros
pect of a Christmas behind cell bars,
Mrs. Ellen Ryan and Mrs. Ellen Reid, the
two women arrested Saturday afternoon
at Union Station with $500 worth of furs
and clothing, obtained by alleged false
pretenses from an F street department
store, yesterday defied all efforts of the
Eolice to discover their identity.
Although numerous photographs and
descriptive circulars Of the two women
were sent out to police chiefs of large
cities, no answer that the women were
known elsewhere than here was received.
Why should We give our right names
and disgrace our relatives?" Mrs. Reid,
who says she is Mrs. Ryan's daughter,
asked the police. I'VE would both rather
go to jail and serve life sentences than
tell our Names" the young woman de-
clared.
Despite assertions of the women and
their attorney, William Earl Ambrose,
whoSdeclares they are of a good family
and that this is their first offense, the
police believe the women are profess

HELD FOR HURLING
BRICKS AT A CAR
Two Men Also Charged with
Intent to Kill.

Accused of disturbing the peace, as
sault, and assault with intent to kill,
James Mulholland and Frederick Reh,
alias Buddy" were arrested yesterday
in Mount Rainier and locked up in the
Bladensburg Jail to reflect on their al
legged wrongdoing over Christmas.
The charge OF assault with intent to
kill grew out of an alleged attack on
Clarence ]. Fox, steamboat inspector,
living at 5s V street northwest, who is
at Emergency Hospital suffering from a
fracture of the skull and bruises and
cuts on the face.
Fox was sitting on a city-bound Ber-
wyn car when a brick crashed through
the window and struck him on the head,
knocking him to the floor unconscious.
The brick. it is said, was thrown by Null
holland or Reh while they were stand
ing in a crowd on the platform of the
Mount Rainier station.
Motorman Andrew Grigsby and Con-
ductor Joseph F. Gates resented the
smashed window and the fractured skull
of Fox. Their remonstrances culminat-
ed, it is charged, in an attack by Mulhol-
land and Reh.
AS the public peace of Mount Rainier
was shattered during the brickbat and
fistic festivities, charges of disturbing
the peace were placed against the pris-
oners. Justice of the Peace Robert E.
Joyce and Stickles issued warrants for
the arrest of the men, and will give them
hearings probably tomorrow.

WANTS VICE ADMIRAL.
osterhnus Believes the Naval Rank
Should BE Revived.

the revival of the rank of vice admiral
was made to-day by Rear Admiral Oster-

has been visiting his father
Il believe that the most immediate
question in the navy just now," he SAID
lis the revivsl of the rank of vice ad-

is a naval gathering, It usually happens
that some small country that possesses
about two or three ships has vice ad-
miral, who gets precedence over the COM
mander of the entire United States naval
forces.

Panama Canal is opened in 1913. How

PRESIDENT AGAIN
REFUSES TO GUT
MORSESENTENCE
Action Based on Report Of
Prison Physicians.
DEATH NOT IMMINENT

Charles w. Morse, the convicted New
York banker, now Federal prisoner
at Atlanta, will not receive a conf
mutation of his sentence as a Christ
mas present from President Taft. Mr..
Taft yesterday decided that Morse's
condition is not critical, and that execu-
tive clemency would not be justified by
| the reports of Morse's condition re-
ceived from army surgeons at the post
hospital at Fort Mcpherson, Ga, who
are now treating him.
DEATH NOT IMMINENT.
While these reports indicate that Morse
is seriously Ill, his death is not imminent.
Mr.. Taft reached this decision, following
conference 1T the White House with
Brig. Gen. George H. Torney, Surgeon
General of the army; Surg. Gen. Charles
F. Stokes, of the navy, and Mai. NJ. A.
De Laney, Medical Corps, u. s. A, who
explained to the President the report
from the surgeons at Atlanta who are
treating Morse
Here is an official statement made pub
lie at the White House following the
conference:
THE President to-day called into con-
sultation the Surgeon General of the
army; the Surgeon General of the navy,
and Maj. De Laney. Medical Corps, u. S.
A, on the report of the board of physi-
clans at Atlanta as to the physical condi-
tion of Charles w. Morse. After a full
confederation of the report, as explained
by them, the President was not satisfied
that immediate action was necessary,
and directed that he be kept full ad-
vised, and at frequent intervals of any
change"
PhysiciRns' Report Withheld.
officers of the White House and De-
partment of Justice declined to make
public the report of the Atlanta ply
sicians upon which Mr.. Taft's action was
based. There has been a noticeable dis
crepancy between the press reports from
Atlanta and the official reports concern
ing Morses condition.
For several weeks dispatches from
Atlanta have indicated that Morse's
condition was critical and that his death
was imminent. President Taft and At
torney General Wickersham have not
been swerved oy these reports, but have
relied only upon the official reports re-
ceived through the army surgeons at
Fort Mcpherson.
The army surgeons have reported that
while Morse is seriously i'll, his condi-
ton is not critical, and there is no imme-
diate necessity for executive clemency.
The official reports indicate that Morse
has even improved in some respects since
he was removed to the post hospital at
Fort Mcpherson several weeks ago. Mr..
Morse is suffering from kidney trouble.

Baltimore, Md, Dec. PA big mass
meeting was held here this afternoon in
the New Theater which passed strong
protest against the enactment or enforce
