WOULD DISSOLVE COMMITTEE
Special Land Shows Committee Mem
bers Want Endorsement

Some two weeks ago the Sand
point commercial club appointed a
committee composed of George H.
Hipke, j. NJ. Prater and c. w.
Heideman which was to take pre-
liminary steps towards the prepar-
ing for exhibits from Bonner coun-
ty at the 1913 land shows and fairs.
This committee was authorized by
the Standpoint club to select repre-
sentatives from the various com
munities of the county who would
be expected to work in cooperation
with Standpoint. Colen Smith,
Prof. E. F.. Elliott and DR.. f. F.,
Fry were selected by the Standpoint
commercial club committee from
this district,
A meeting of the various repre-
sentatives chosen was called
Wednesday of this week at Sand
point and was attended by about
half of them. AT this meeting it
was brought ont that if harmonious
action was desired it would be ad
visable that the various communi-
ties be asked to select their own
representatives instead of the repre-
sentatives being chosen by the
Standpoint club. Several of those
who attended the meeting said that
they did not feel that they repre-
scented their localities as the people
of their home towns had had no.
thing to say in regard to their
selection. The representatives de-
cided TO request the Standpoint
commercial club to dissolve the
general committee and suggested
that the club should invite the
various localities to select and send
their chosen representatives tC
Standpoint or any other place OF
meeting for the purpose of prepar-
ing for a county display at various
fall fairs and land shows.

Why Rubber Tires Grow Hot.

When IN automobile is running at
high speed the rubber tires are rapidly
warmed. and the heat sometimes be
comes very great, with resultant in
jury TO the rubber. The cause Of this
accumulation of heat in the tire is
ascrihcd to the kneading of the rubber,
which generates heat faster than it can
e radated away. For this reason
manufacturers have found it to be an
,dvauiaee to have metal parts in the
road. such as the ends of rivets, in
contact with the tire. because the metal
icing good radiator, helps to carry
III the heat of the outer air.

GUILTY OF MURDER.
Jury Conyicts NfacFarland on Cirsum.
stantiaI Evidence.

Newark, N. j., Feb. 1.-The jury in the
case of Allison NJ. MacFarland, on trial
for the murder of his wife by cyanide
poisoning, returned a verdict of guilty of
murder in the first degree shortly be
fore midnight.
When the foreman pronounced the YER
let the accused man seemed stunned for
a moment but he did not break down.
He turned to Andrew MacFarland, his
77-year-old uncle, who had been keeping
him company in the wait for the verdict,
and as they grasped hands the prisoner
smiled coolly.
You have got to take life as it comes
the aged uncle said, but MacFarlaud
made no reply.
The conviction of Mcfarland was
mainly on circumstantial evidence. His
wife met death on the night of October
IT, last. when Mcfarland was absent
from home. by taking cyanide of potas-
sum- which the state alleged MacFar-
land had deliberately substituted for
headache medicine which Mrs MacFar-
land was in the habit of taking. Mac
Farland's declarations that he had told
his wife about the cyanide and that if
she took It by mistake that it was by her
own carelessness, were greatly offset by
more than seventy letters which passed
between Mcfarland and his former
stenographer in Philadelphia Florence
Bromley, in order to marry whom the
state alleged that MacFarland planned to
get rid of his wife.

of the St Louis division was the only
man who was transferred from the
second district organization.
The rumors current in Topeka a short
time ago calling for the resignation of
w. S Tinsman as general manager OF
the first district, had it figured out that
the headquarters of every district would
be changed. To the layrnan this would
be the natural cause. To the railroad
man it would be a foolish action to
break up every district aud shift Off
Gals from their organization. In the
Rock Island Shakeup only the first and
third districts suffered changes. Prest-
dent Nudge did not reach out into the
second district for transfers.
