"Eut seen too oft, familiar with her

embrace, must have had the early
history of higher education for wO-
men at the University of Missouri in
mind. For that was the order of
progression when that fearsOme
creature, a girl, was reluctantly ad-
nitted for the first time in that
branch of the University called the
College of Normal instruction in
1870, and later in all the branches
alcgue of 1872:
After the experiment had been
made with many misgivings for two
years this report was given to an
anxious public in the University cat
alogue of 1872.
I'VE were not prepared to permit
them to join in the worship of the
chapel. nor yet to come to the Uni
versity for attending recitatiOns or
lectures. They were kept at the
back door a full year on the score
of some danger. Finding, however.
that the young women at the Normal
dOd no manner of harm. We very
cautiously admitted them to some of
the recitations and lectures in the
University buildings itself as sup
Elementary to their regular eXer-
cises, provided always they were to
be marched in good order with at
least two teachers, one in front and
one in the rear of the column as
guards. Finally there was another
advance. the young women were per-
mitted and invited to come into the
chapel, and after the novelty had
worn off, even to join their voices
in prayer and praise at the morning
worship. By degrees and carefully
feeling our way, as though explosive
material was all around us, we have
come to admit them to all the classes
in all the departments. just as young
men are admitted"
But even then they were felt to be
out of place. The old idea of "wo-
mans sphere" so abhorrent to our
modern suffragette, was still
preached by the masculine element
and meekly accepted by the femi-
nine. So the Legislature was begged
and cajoled and reasoned with year
after year for a college for the "fe-
male student" separate and apart.

Chief Engineer in Grangeville
Enroute South.
NOW IN THE SALMON COUNTRY
Is Said Road to Be Built Within
18 Months.

The chief engineer of the "Pin'
road was in the city the first of the
week in company with a consulting
engineer and after day spent here
securing data and maps of the country,
left for the Salmon river section.
This road has been building north
from Weiser gradually and it is said
comtemplates building to Grange
vile within the next eighteen months.
This will open up vast section OF
excellent territory along the Salmon
river as well as the tributary country
of the Snake. Idaho needs above all
things such road; for at present
those of the north end of the state
who have business to transact at the
capital must journey thence by. a long,
circuitous route through Washington
and Oregon.
The gentlemen who were here were
very reticent and gave out no informa-
ton, excepting to local party who had
some data on the country they wished
to investigate.

Election of Officers Was Held Last
Friday Night.
BANQUET FOR RETIRING CHIEF
Presented With Remembrance for
Duty Well Done.

The past week has been a lively
one with the fire boys, not that con-
fagrations have been exceedingly
plentiful in that period but the activi-
ty has been confined to the election of
new officers and functions held in
honor of the retiring chief, David
Sasenbery.
On Friday night of last week an
election of officers for the coming year
was held and resulted in the selection
of Herbert Rothwell for chief; Chester
Arnold, assistant chief; Fred Meader,
president; Frank Hockersmith, secre-
tary; and Tom Ward, treasurer. The
retiring officers who have served III
their various capacities most efficiently
are: ID. H. Sasenbery, chief; j. /.
Overman, assistant chief; Albert
Baker, president and Robert Dunlap,
treasurer.
Retiring Chief Sasenbery has held
that Office number of years and has
been identified with the company
ever since its organization. He has
held it together at times when things
were most discouragmg and perhaps
to him, more than any other one man
does Grangeville owe debt for her
present volunteer fire company which
will compare favorably with those of
other cities this size.
On Wednesday night of this week
| MIR. Sasenbery was rendered ban
quet at the Imperial Hotel by the
fire boys who also had as their guests
the mayor, council and city officers as
well as President Smith of the Com
mercial Club and Messrs. Wagner
and Anderson. A number of toasts
were responded to and at the conclu.
sion of the banquet, Thomas Ward
upon behalf of the FIRE boys and local
business men, presented Mr.. Sasenbery
with solid gold watch, suitably en-
graved, as slight token of the higf
esteem in which he is held. Mr.
Sasenbery thanked the donors ane
expressed his confidence in the futur.
of the fire company who has served
SO loyalty in the past.

Eastern Man Lost in Mountain.
of Idaho.
GONE SINCE NOVEMBER nth
Dilligent Search Made but No
Traces Found.

Lost in the wilds of the mountains
and perished from exposure and hun
ger seems to be the fate that has be-
fallen George Smith, man of fifty
five years OF age who came west a
year or SO ago and has been making
his home in the country adjacent to
Ferdinand Mr.. Smith has been lost
since Saturday, November 4th and all
hope of finding him alive has been
given up by the parties who have
been searching the mountain country
around Adams camp for a fortnight
Smith, in company with number
of other men from the west side of the
Prairie, went on hunting expedition
in the mountains in the vicinity of
Slate Creek. On Saturday, Novem-
ber 4 he left camp early in the MORN
ing and since that time no traces of
him have been found with the excep-
tion of a newspaper in which he car
ried his lunch for the day. There
were four members of the party and
the three remaining have searched the
country most thoroughly but have
been unable to find any trace of him.
On Saturday last Sheriff Overman
and Deputy Thompson, who are
familiar with the country around
Adams camp, made a trip to the hills
and covered the ground thoroughly
but came out without securing any
traces of the lost man.
Mr.. Smith, so far as we can learn,
was not at all familiar with the coun-
try and while the timber in that
vicinity is dense and the snow deep,
had he a thorough knowledge of the
country, he might have saved him.
self Doubtless he has perished and
the recovery of the body will not be
successful until the snow has gone of
in the spring.

Some Spicy Court Record.

(Remarks of L. Vineyard, Esq,
before Judge James Woodward in the
case of the State vs.. Clarence Chene-
worth
May it please the court: | was
about to say to your Honor that this
case is an unique one, but on refec-
tion it is not SO unique as it might
seem at first blush. 1t is no more
than we might expect under present
conditions in this county on the eve
of an election to determine again as
to whether this county shall establish
the well regulated saloon, or drinking
place, or whether it shall continue
under the regime of the lawless boot
leggers in the sale of intoxicating
liquor in spite Of the local option law.
l charge here and now that if this
case has developed any one thing it is:
that the Anti Saloon League in this
state is ready to resort to any means
Of the most shady character-even to
conspiracy, to accomplish their fanatic
al purpose in their support Of the law
less bootlegger, in preference to we'll
regulated, licensed saloons.
The evidence of the witnesses on
the part of the prosecution has de-
veloped as clear as sunlight, that this
league, whose representative appears
here as one Of the attorneys in this
case, has deliberately entered into a
criminal conspiracy to violate the
very law-the local option law
which he and his cohorts claim to up
hold and defend in this county. This
conspiracy, without any attempt to
contradict or disprove it, was deliber-
ately entered into by this Attorney
Hickey, with two others, Tacket and
Cross for a money consideration, to
engage in this campaign on behalf o1
the dry forces, to procure evidence by
going themselves to any place where
they might think intoxicating liquor
could be had, or bought in this county
and drunk by themselves. and then te
impart the fact to their chief, Hickey
for the purpose of being used IN q
criminal prosecution, as in this case
In other words they are willing te
induce others to violate the very Law
they claim to uphold and enforce, ane
that they are willing to be parties t.
the crime.
Why do l say this? Because tn,
evidence is clear that these men Hickey
Tacket and Cross, and others doubt
less, entered into this arrangement

karr and Cheneworth Bound Over
for Local Option Violation.
WOULD ARREST DRY LEADER
Court Calls on County Attorney
to Arrest Branch Hickey.

Two cases in which parties were
charged with the violation of the local
option law have been up for hearing
since our last publication. The first
was that of Lou karr, who was ar
raigned in the court of Judge De
Haven last Saturday. Karr is charged
with having sold one Wadel, a gum
shoe from Spokane, intoxicating
liquors on November 4. The defend
ant through his attorney, waived ex-
animation and was bound over to the
district court under bond Of 5000,
which has been furnished.
The other was all action brought
against Clarence Chenworth, an en-
ploye of the Imperial Hotel. This
case was tried in the court of Judge
Woodward Monday, the trial occupy
ing the greater part Of the day. Judge
Vineyard, who represented the defend
ant, used scathing terms in denounc-
ing the prosecution and stated he
would ask for warrants for the arrest
of the two principal witnesses for the
stase, as well as for Branch Hickey,
the leader of the dry forces, who, the
attorney for the defendant referred to
as the arch-conspirator. Attorneys
Gilmore and Hickey assisted the state
in the prosecution.
The court held the defendant to the
district court in bonds to the amount
lrNf CONN yh.nh ko,
and also stated that he did not purpose
that farce be made of the case, and
ordered John Packet and l.. Cross, two
of the leading witnesses for the state,
be placed under bonds of $500 each to
assure their presence when the case
comes up in the district court.
In giving his decision his honor sta
ted that were it within his power to
order the county attorney to place
Mr.. Hickey under arrest for the vio-
lation dissection % of the local option
law, which we quote elsewhere in this
article, he would do so. The court
seemed of the opinion that as the tes-
timony of Cross showed he had been
employed by Hickey at salary Of
$2:25 day and expenses for the pur.
pose of inducing the defendant, Chem
worth, to violate the law, and that
the testimony Of Tacket being along
similar lines, Hickey should be arrest
ed upon the charge Of contributing to
the violation of the law.
Section % Of the local option law,
under which the court recommended
the arrest Of Mr.. Hickey, reads as fol-
lows:
"Any person who shall make, aid,
abet, counsel or procure an unlawful
sale, or other unlawful disposition Of
intoxicating liquor, or shall act as
agent Of assisting friend of the seller
in procuring or effecting the unlawful
sale or purchase Of any such liquors,
shall be guilty Of a misdemeanor and
punished as provided in section 80 Of
this act."
| Section 80 provides that fine Of
not less than $25 or more than $500,
or imprisonment in the county jail Of
not less than ten days nor more than
six months or both such fine and inn
prisonment may be inflicted.

Sentence Bentley, Release Farris.

Hugh Bentley. who was convicted
in the Fedal Court at Moscowfor sell
ing liquor to an Indian, was given a
sentence of three months in jail and
to pay a fine of 500. 1t is said
Bentley bought whiskey for an Indian
gum-shoe during the Lewiston fair.
Earl Farris, who it was hoped this
community was rid Of for while at
least, entered a plea of guilty to the
charge of selling liquor to Indians,
was released under suspended sentence.
Farris, it will be recalled, was ar
rested at the time of the visit of the
Indian ball team to Grangeville last
summer, and charged with selling
firewater to jesse James and other
thirsty Redmen from the Clearwater.
He was turned over to the I. ;. by
ATTY. Griffith and it was hoped would
get a sentence which would take him
out of the country for several years
at least.

and agreement. Cross states that
this was the agreement when they
went to the Imperial Hotel to see if
they could get drink Of Intoxicating
liquor. That they went down there
asked for such a drink, bought it and
for what they called for; that they
returned to the Anti Saloon League
headquarters and reported to their
chief, Hickey, one of the attorneys in
this case.
Here is shown without doubt a
violation by these men of the local
option law, which Hickey declares
with indignation, shall be maintained.
1t is shown by the evidence of the
prosecution in this case. that con-
spiracy, deliberately formed by the
dry forces in this anti saloon league
campaign, to continue Idaho county
in the lowest possible moral condition,
as dry territory, with more rot-gut
whiskey running in it than ever ran
from the spiggot of any barrel or
bottle of the worst bar ever set up in
Idaho county, to crafty a hypocritical
cant, led by the anti saloon league of
this state, assisted by this man Hickey,
as the centerpiece, with, grouped
about him, this hybrid force with no
moral uplift in it to better conditions,
but seemingly to advance the profits
of the bootlegger at the expense Of
good morals and to the financial detri-
Of the county.
This being the plain proof in this
case, | therefore demand in the name
of the very law they are here shown
to be violating, that a warrant should
be issued against these conspirators,
Hickey, Jacket and Cross. That if
your Honor has not the power to do
this in this case, then the county
attorneys Office should at once get
busy and take the necessary steps to
bring these men into court on a
criminal complaint, on the proof
shown here-for they have confessed
to the crime.

the usual number of bills were pre-
