street. created great sensation.
When l saw him Mt Bellevue hospital
the doctors said he did not have one
chance In a hundred of recovering. I
never saw, In all my experience as q
policeman. a person who was SO thor.
oughly beaten up. Why. there was
not a square inch Of his body, which
was not marked in some way, and his
face and head were about twice the
normal size.
THE doctors said that his skull had
been fractured in the frontal region by
blow from some blunt weapon, pre-.
sumably a slungshot or club: that II
would be necessary TO trephine the
frontal bone and remove tho broken
pieces and splinters which, to all ex.
ternal appearances, had penetrated
the brain. Lawrence, was. OF course.

tell anything about the assault Even

that he would not be able TO give a

stamping ground OF the notorious
Brick Yard Gang. which had among
its members about as many cut.

In any part of the city. They had
been at work for long time holding
up citizens in the street. Although
many of them we're sent away their
places seemed TO be steadily filed,
and the gang did not lose its power.
Denny Brady, who afterward led the
most successful gang OF masked bur-
glars that was ever formed in this
city for pillage along the Hudson
river front between here and Al

NO MEDICINE
But Change Of Food Gave Final Relief.

Most diseases start in the alImsn-
tary canal-stomach and bowels.
A great deal OF our stomach and
bowel troubles come from eating too
much starchy ard greasy food
The stomach does not digest any
of the starchy food we eat--whits
bread, pastry, potatoes, oats, etc
these things are digested in the small
intestines, and If we eat too much. as
most of us do, the organs that should
digest this kind of food are overcome

Rates on Electricity much
Cheaper.

Many people who have contem-
plated the purchase of electric ranges
have delayed such action on account
of doubt concerning the cost of oper-
, ating the equipment. The great
Shoshone and Twin Falls Water Pow
er company is now advertising a rate
of 3 12 cents per kilowatt hour for
electric cooking for anyone installing
complete electric range. This is a
very radical reduction, as the rate
heretofore has been 5 cents per kllo-
watt hour for this class of service.
This is one of the lowest rates, if not
the lowest rate, in the United States
today for his class of service.
In order to further remove doubt from
peoples minds as to the cost of cooking
by electricity the company claims to
be prepared to make written guar
antee that the cost for current will
not exceed very low specified a.
mount, depending on the size of the
range installed.
In as much as the original rate 6
cents was considered to be about
equivalent to the cost of coal or gas,
it is obvious that the new rate g 1-2
cents) will make it very much cheaper
to use electricity than any other form
of fuel. This advantage, coupled
with that of its being so convenient,
clean, safe, and dependable, will I'M
doubtedly result in very wide pop
ularity for this, the new, the up-to-
date, the modern way of cooking.
Southern Idaho surpasses all other
sections of the United States in the
number of homes and places of BUSH
ness heated throughout by electricity.
The present move on the part Of
the local company seems to be more
or less of an indication that it may
soon be possible to boast that South
ern Idaho does more cooking by cleo
tricity than any other similar locality.
These are possibilities worthy of our
attention and consideration, for they
are features that help us to advertise
the conveniences and advantages off
cred to us as inducements to the
wider use of electricity by the Great
Shoshone and Twin Falls Water Pow
er Company.

Summer Course.

The Albion State Normal calls
particular attention to the Summer
Course they offer at the Normal from
July 18th to August Both in which
full term credits will be given on
the records of the school to students
completing courses in the regular
summer quarter S work, eight weeks
course. These credits may be offered
in all certificate and diploma courses
just the same as credits made in the
other quarters Of the school year.
Students completing courses in the
six week course will be given credits
which may be offered in all certificate
courses but not in diploma courses
excepting where very satisfactory
work is done in review subjects. In
these subjects full credit will be given
for the review work required in dip
Iona courses if in the judgment of
the head of the department in which
the course is taken the student shows
sufficient grasp of the subject to re-
ceive such credit. The professional
work offered in the six weeks course
will not be accepted in lieu of the pro-
fessional work required of life diploma
students but will be accepted in lieu
of professional work required of certi-
fcate students and will so be placed
on the records of the school.
The opportunity to secure credits
in the records of state normal school
will certainly appeal to all students
who have to take the six weeks work
required by the school code and who
have to review for first, second and
third grade certificates.
In addition to this special work
everything possible has been done to
make the expenses of those taking the
summer quarters work as light as
possible. The necessary expenses will
be about as follows:
Enrolment fee .. $500
Board and room at residences
per week. ......... 400
Books depending on counsel
estimated ...... 49,. 500
1t is believed that $40may be made
to cover all necessary school expenses
during the quarter.
1t is the intention of the Normal
School trustees and faculty to make
this summer quarters work AIRED let
er era in the history of the school and
in Idaho. Everything possible will
be done to make the work of the stud
ents pleasant as well as profitable.
If further information is desired, do
not hesitate to write for it. Your
letter will receive prompt attention.
