The Baptist S S picniced at the
Big Spring Tuesday afternoon. Two
autos, two buggies and two dray
wagons were filled with children of
all ages ranging from eight months
to seventy years. 1t would be hard
to say who had the best time. AT
six O'Clock the lunch was spread
which was delight to the eye as
well as the palate. Several baskets
went home as we'll filled as when
they came for the picnickers had no
room to contain any more. A tired
happy crowd reached Meade at Q p.

success.

John r. Foulks Returns From Land
Show.

John r. Foulk, of Aberdeen, was
in the city Wednesday enroute
home from Omaha, where he at
tended the land show, as a repre-
sentative from Bingham county.
He said that the shows over the
country We're doing Idaho a world
of good and he was astounded at
the intrest manifested by the east
erners in the Gem state. He pre-
diets that there will be great in-
flux of people i'll the next year.
Money is plentiful in the east, but
is finding a ready place of invest
ment there. There is an unusal
scarcity of potatoes, the Snake river
valley having all there is in the
United States. The crop in Ohio,
Indiana and Colorado is almost a
complete failure.

ed Mr.. King, who is field man for
the telephone company. Other men
in the neighborhood We're summon
ed and soon a crowd gathered, but
it took the forethought Of the faith
er to solve the problem of getting
TIE child from the we'll, without en-
dangering her life, by falling earth
and debris. Long planks We're laid
across the mouth of the we'll, Il rope
was secured, and Mr.. King walked
out on the plank, lowered the rope
with moose in the end, called to
Virginia to place the rope over her
shoulders and hold on. The little
girl had fallen into about two feet of
water, but had waded around until
she had discovered II stone, upon
which she climbed, holding on to
the wooden well curbing. 1t was
necessary to swing the rope several
times before it was possible for the
child to catch it, but finally she se-
cured it and put the moose around
her neck, clasp the rope with her
little hands, and told her papa that
she was ready. Mr.. King drew her
to the surface, and it was discovered
that little injury was done her. The
rope which was used measured
thirtysix feet, not including the
moose.

Smith-Hammermeister.

Tuesday morning at 10 O'Clock oc-
cured the marriage of Miss Hazel
Dell, the second daughter Of Mr..
and Mrs. 0. f. Smith, and Frank
r.. Hammermeister. The ceremony
was performed by Arch Deacon
Stoey, of the Episcopal church, at
the suburban home Of the brides
parents, and in the presence Of only
the immediate family. The bridal
couple made short trip in South
eastern Idaho, and will return to
Blackfoot on the third of this month,
residing in the Jessie Lloyd house
on Alice street, where they will be
at home to their friends after No
vember 18th. For several years the
Smith home one and half miles
from town, has been the scene of
much merrymaking. Both host and
hostess are royal entertainers and
their children extend hearty well
come to all comers. Not least in
the art of entertaining has been
Miss Hazel. She is young lady of
many accomplishments. among
which is her great ability as cook
and the young folks of Idaho, Utah
and Montana can relate stories of
the many good things she has served
on various social occasions. Mr..
Hammermeister, the bridegroom,
has been in the grocery department.
of the Brown-Hart store for the
past two years, coming here a
stranger. but since his residence
has proven himself to be fine
trust worthy, young man, one who
can feel that he has made good both
in the discharge of the duties in
trusted to him, and socially. He is
the kind of a man that will event.
ually own a business of his own, be-
cause he can take care of the busi-
ness of others. While Blackfoot
has host of fine young people, yet
the removal of any of her sons or
daughters is always mourned by
those remaining, and we are pleased
to note that these two young folks
are going to reside in this city. In
the opinion of the world, marriage
ends all, as it does in a comedy.
The truth is precisely the reverse
it begins all and these young people
are about to embark on a life that
has for them many great joys, and
the Optimist wishes them a full cup
Of happiness, with few little joys
to keep 'em home nights. The bride
was costumed in pima cloth dress
over white satin, the former a plo-
duet of the PHILIPPINES, and her &c :
ing away gown was blue serge.

Chicken Thieves Caught Red Handed.

Joe and Toney Parsons caught
three chicken thieves, who We're in
the act of raiding the hen roost of
Ed Parsons one day last week, at
noon. The men chased the thieves
about a mile and rounded them up
in bunch of willows along ditch.
The men had three chickens in
their possession when caught. Mes
sers. Parsons took their prisoners to
Justice of the Peace Crawford at
Riverside, and the latter fined them
six dollars each. One of the men
was from Idao Falls and the others
from Morland. Their names We're
not told the writer, because the
Moreland men We're connected with
good families in that community.

THIRTY-SIX FEET DOWN
OLD WELL FALLS CHILD
Intelligent Dog Aprses Mrs Joe King Of Whereabouts
Little Four Year Old Virginia, and Neighbors
Soon Come to Rescue.

On 400 South Shilling avenue,
where Mr.. and Mrs. Karl P. Brown
live there is an old well, long since
abandoned. For over a year the
occupants of the two houses on the
property, Mr.. and Mrs Joe King
and the Browns have supposed that
the we'll was filled up to within a
bout five feet of the surface, but
last Saturday they were all made a
ware of the fact that such was not
the case. Virginia, the four year
old daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. King
was playing in the yard, and dis
appeared for time. Mrs. King,
noticing her daughters absence from
the immediate vicinity, instituted a
search for her, but without avail,
until she noticed the peculiar actions
of a brindle bull dog, the property
of Mr.. and Mrs. Brown and a con-
stant companion of Virginia King.
The dog was running to and from
the deserted we'll, and looking down
in it. Mrs. King went to that part
of the yard in which the well is To-
Gated and there found that instead
of a shallow hole there was a deep
cavern from which issueda a plaintive
little cry. She called and Virginia
answered. Panic stricken the moth
er rushed to the telephone and call

CONTRASTS IN THE HOME.
Reading of the Homes of Antiquity
Should Make Us CompIaisant Our
Own Homes.
copyrighted by ], S. Kirtley,)

Hello, Central, give me heaven!"
That is what the young man said when
he installed the new telephone in the
study and wanted to test it. At once
they connected him with his home and
he found the instrument working to his
intense satisfaction. And he had been
married several years, at that.
The general level of the American
home is pretty high, if we may judge
by the external signs of comfort-the
average quality of the houses, foods
that come from all over the world,
good clothes, schools for children, with
text books furnished free, in many
places, large and attractive parks for
recreation, or, better still, open coun-
try, and luxuries like the telephone in
almost all homes, whether in city or
country. And, if we judge by the SEN
timents of orators and writer's, espe-
cially the apostrophes of the poets, we
may be led to imagine that Eden Is
blooming and even booming here in
our country, the lost Paradise regained.
We certainly have a right to be some
what complaisant over our homes when
we read about the homes of antiquity.
When Mrs. Wiggs was asked if she did
not feel her privations, she gave a good
long list of her blessings and asked in
reply, "Ain't you proud you amt got
hare lip?" We may be proud we are
not part of an old Roman home, for
instance. To use a Hibernicism, it
would not be home at all. The Latins
had word for family and one for
house, but none for that something
which a family in house constitutes,
which we call home. The family, with
or without children, plus the house
form something called home, thing
more easily spoken of than described.
Well, the Romans had no word for
that, because they had no need for such
word. And whenever we catch any
one trying to reestablish such a do
mestic anachronism and monstrosity
in our land and time, 1t is taken in
hand either by the white caps or the
blue coats, or the petticoats, them
selves.
1t takes at least two persons to make
home, and in the Roman house there
was only one, the man. The woman
was not person, in her own right, un-
der the law. She could not intervene
in the government of the family. If
one of the children wanted to get mar
ried, her consent was not necessary.
If her husband wanted to put her to
death or leave her for handsomer
woman, he had a right to do so, with
out legal process or prejudice. Seneca
speaks of his friend. Macaenas, as
having been married thousand times.
He was certainly living up to his priv
ileges. And Cicero, the ideal orator, re-
pudiated his wife Terentia, in order to
escape from his creditors. by using the
money he would get with his new wife,
Publia, and he afterward repudiated
Publia. After awhile they improved the
laws a little, by having what they
called free marriages, somewhat like

PRODUCTION was, after all, not such q
difficult matter.
In spite of this laxity the authori
ties were puzzled to know how the
dynamite came to be smuggled into
the basement of the palace under the
very nose of the police. One of the
numerous prisoners who were arrest
ed for the crime laughed airily when
questioned about this phase OF the
conspiracy.
ut was easy" he said, cas- easy as
breathing"
"Did Chalturin carry it with him?'
mot at all. That might have been
fatal to our plans. At least dozen
men assisted in the delivery of the
dynamite, and had any one of them
been arrested the other eleven would
have remained to have carried out the
program"
But what sort Of men were they?
"Just everyday, ordinary kind OF
men. The sort that would not be no
ticed in a crowd. For instance, the
fact that a baker handed a couple OF
rolls to Chalturin would excite nc
comment, and yet these innocent bits
of bread might have contained one
tenth of all the dynamite smuggled in
to the palace. Some of it was hidden
in carpenters tools, some in the lin
ing of workingmens caps. But why
go further? The men who plan great
things must possess great ingenuity
as we'll as great courage"
But to get back to the narrative.
Chalturin said that while he was ir
the basement of the palace he suffered
frightfully from headaches, which
were caused by the poisonous exhala
tions of the nitroglycerine on which
he rested every night. When the first
of February arrived fifty kilogrammes
of dynamite had been introduced, and
the counterfeit carpenter was now in
a position to go ahead with his deadly
work
He hesitated at the last moment
but it was too late to retreat. He felt
that in any event his own life was i'm
periled. If he accomplished the das
tardly plot, he would be executed by
the government; if he refused to dc
so, he was likely to be assassinated
by his associates. While he was still
in a state of uncertainty, he received
n letter from the executive commit
tee telling him to delay no longer
but to fire the dynamite.
In the excitement that ensued, Chal
turin escaped and left st. Petersburg
but in the end, as already related, he
was caught in the vast net spread by
Trepoff and suffered death as the pen.
atty of his great crime.

car had arranged a splendid dinner
in honor of the Prince of Bulgaria.
It was a state affair and all of the de-
tails were planned on a scale OF
grandeur commensurate with the
greatness of the Russian empire. Five
minutes before the royal guests had
assembled in the state dining room
there was a dynamite explosion in the
imperial palace. The mine had been
set in the basement and the explosion
pierced the two stone floors and made
a gap ten feet long and six feet wide
in the dining hall in which the table
had already been laid for the dinner.
The explosion killed five men of the
police guard and injured thirty-five
others.
The greatest CONSERVATION pre-
vailed. The czar, of course, realized
that the Nihilists had been at work,
but he was terrified to think that they
had gained entrance into the palace
and that the explosion which had just
taken place was intended to encom-
pass his death as well as that OF the
members of the royal family.
The conspiracy in this case seemed
TO be widespread and far-reaching. Al
most on the eve of the explosion In
the winter palace woman visited
General Trepoff, the chief of the st.
petersburg police. She said her name
was Vera Zassulic, and that sne nau
