IN THE KHYBER PASS.
HorIe Thieves Do q Thriving 6usi-
ness at the Famous Gateway.

The khyber Pass Is the chief gate
way into Afghanistan. Sixteen miles
south Of It is the city of Peshawur.
The adjoining valley and hills have
always been the haunts of profession
al thieves. The objects which they
most covet are arms, money and
horses. In securing these they evince
great skill and daring.
Their most popular mode Of horse
stealing requires at least three men
to carry 1t out comfortably and sue
cessfully. One of them quietly steals
his way into the stable and lays hold
Of a cord which has been pushed
through one Of the holes In the wall
by an accomplice outside.
The two use this string as saw.
while the third man pours upon It a
plentiful supply Of water. The cord
silently and speedy cuts its way down
tho mud wall.
In wonderfully short. time the
three craftsmen manage to saw round
a portion Of the wall. which when
pushed outward leaves space suf-
ficient to allow horse to pass out.
This done, the remaining work pre-
sents no difficulty. The ropes which
bind the horse are cut, and in short
time he is cantering to the hills. with
generally two or three Of his new mas
ters on his back.
A somewhat bold and impudent ex-
plot in the horse-stealing line was
once the amusement and the talk OF
the British military station for some
days. The cantonment was surround
ed at sundown by chain Of sentries.
This demanded a great number OF
men, and all regiments, cavalry and
infantry, European and native, night
ly gave their proportions.
A native trooper on this occasion
fastened his horse to the peg fixed
about the middle of his beat" and to
keep his courage and himself warm
the night was bitterly cold-walked
smartly backward and forward.
The extent of this walk was not
more than thirty yards. and thus at
no time could he have been more than
fifteen yards from his charger. He
was armed with a short rife and
tulwar or sword.
While he was thus doing duty
hillman managed to crawl quite close
TO him without exciting notice. and
waiting quietly until the sentry was
near the end Of his walk, and OF
course, with his back to the horse, the
robber cut the chargers rope, mount
ed him and In a moment was gallop-
ing from the station.
The sentry fired his rife In the di-
rection in which his mount had gone.
the guards turned out, and a great
noise was raised. but the outwitted
soldier never saw his horse again.

SUN YAT.SEN.
Interesting Story Of Remarkable Mod.
ern Day chinannan.

ern Day ShihaFnans
Last Monday Sun Yat-sen, the lead
er of the Young China Movement en-
tered Nanking, the provisional repub-
lican capital, and was received with
q salute of twenty-one guns. He was
then proclaimed president Of the pro-
vlsional government, and swore, ac-
cording to the Daily Mail correspond
ent, to dethrone the Manchus, restore
peace, establish a government based
on the peoples will, and then to re-
sign and allow the people to elect
president Of United China. The first
act of the provisional government was
to institute a new calendar, January
1st becoming the first day Of the year.
II the undertaking Of Sun Yat-sen
could move swiftly and surely to Its
desired end, nothing could give more
satisfaction to Englishmen. Sun Yat-
sen would probably be himself elect
ed president of the established repub-
/ lie, and for the first time British d.
plomacy would be dealing with an
Oriental nation whose head shared
our own methods Of thought and
standard of conduct. Sun Yat:sen
speaks English perfectly. and all his
ideals Of life and government are those
of Great Britain and the United States.
Our doubt, Of course. is whether the
Chinese are ripe for so sudden a
change to the forms Of a western pol
icy. Yuan-Shi-Kai, as We know,
thinks that they are not, and main
tains that the reverence for kingship
Is inherent In the majority Of Chinese
minds, and that It would therefore be
much better to retain the old appara-
tus of monarchy while informing 1t
with the spirit and practice Of de-
mocracy 1t Is to be remembered that
the beginnings Of constitutional gov
ernment in association with the mon
archy are already in existence In the
shape of the provincial assemblies.
The rebels, however, appear to be
determined to have republic pur

1t may be that they will not at first
bring all the provinces under the re-
public. Perhaps the north will hold
out for monarchy. and China will be
split In two, and perhaps the whole
country will be plagued with civil
war. Before settlement could be
reached by force foreign powers would
probably intervene. We sincerely
hope that the rival sides In China
will recognize that 1t Is better for the
country to hold together than for
either side to be able to say that 1t
triumphed over the other. The forms
of government can develop gradually,
but a nation which has fallen asunder
will never be reunited. This Is the
danger ahead. but we should be blind
II We did not perceive that the enthu-
sIasm. the positiveness, and the con-
fdence are at present all characteris-
tic Of the rebel republicans and not
Of the imperialists. For this reason
1t Is very interesting to learn what

which adds expense.
courages the winter feeder. because
he is knitted from two sides. The
South Carolina feeder, In order to get
good grade Of cattle that may be
fed proftably. must go above the
quarantine line in territory already
freed Of ticks to purchase them; then
he pays above the line price. The SELL
,,er above the line has the advantage
he can ship his feeders anywhere to
the best markets without restrictions
or sell to good advantage at home,
so he does not care snap for the
South Carolina feeders business. The
South Carolina feeder Is stung by
paying a long price and selling for a
short one. Remember now, 1t makes
no difference how good our cattle are
In South Carolina, so long as the tick
they will sell for low figure. The
difference in price being from to

the territory freed Of ticks above the
quarantine line.
1T is time now that the people
should act and 1t is believed that
through your sympathy moral and
active support would be mighty fac
tor In making these points we'll UNDER

while the work of tick eradication
so far accomplished in the state, un-
der the old law. the law has been
found to be inadequate. and I am
urging a revision of same.
THE present law gives authority to
enter premises and quarantine animals
infested with or exposed to the fever
tick, but does not authorize enforce
ment Of disinfection Of such animals.
Therefore 1t Is readily observed that
the work Is at disadvantage and
valuable time and excessive sums OF
money are wasted. Experience has
shown that 1t Is an easy matter to get
all intelligent citizens to accomplish
the work on their premises In the
shortest time possible, while a small
per cent Of Indifferent individuals
must be time and again visited, per-
suaded and coaxed to- do the work.
This condition prolongs the work In q
county two or three years that could
be completed within twelve to eight
cen months Experience has also
demonstrated the Importance OF Sc
curing local funds from the county
treasury. individuals or associations.
This brings the work closer home and
establishes an interest and local re-
sponsibility. Such law Is operating
successfully and satisfactorily in the
state of Georgia and several other
states interested. ...

this matter careful consideration and
urge your influence In revised law,

THE completion Of this work will
save the state thousands Of dollars and
at the same time give all interested
encouragement in feeding and breed

costs, the early completion Of the
work will return over and over every
dollar spent. 1 would be pleased to
have the honor of hearing from you

WOMAN ENPLOyF
OF BOISE STATE
BANK INDICTED
Mrs. Eugene Payne Must
Answer tho Charge of
Making False Entries in
the Banks Books.

Mrs. Eugene Payne, wife Of Eugene
Payne. one Of the officers Of the Boise
State bank. has been indicted by the
Ada county grand jury on charges Of
making false entries in one of the
books of the institution.
This afternoon she filed her $500
bond and will be arraigned In court
on the morning Of Oct. s. George w.
Fletcher and p. II. Quirk are her
bondsmen. She was a bOokkeeper in
the Boise State bank at the time of
its failure and is said to have made
an. entry in the Daily Balance book"
on the page dated Sept. 1. 1911, and
marked Friday" the item of $780,
521.61 as the grand total Of the re-
sources Of that day when she knew
that the entry was false, according
to the tenor Of the Indictment.
Five witnesses are named In the
paper and Edward Payne, the presi-
dent, is indicted at the same time on
charge Of aiding and abetting her
to make the alleged false entry.
Bert esnnissr Indicted.
Bert Benniger faces three indict-
ments returned by the Ada county
grand jury yesterday afternoon. Two
OF them charge him with selling liquor
without license and the other with
maintaining nuisance. The bonds in
each case were fixed at $3.50 and were
signed by Henry Krall. George Van
Sickler and J. w. Smead.
All three charges are based on what
he is said to have done Sept. 25 Of this
year On the first count he Is charged
with selling liquor without license
and In violation OF section 1906 Of the
revised codes of the state. He is said
to have sold one glass Of whiskey to
Alex Modal on that day.
The charge Of maintaining a public
nuisance is as general as they usually
are and claims that he has run a place
that was unpleasant to those living In
the same community. One bottle OF
beer said to have been sold to Roy
Anderson on the same day Is the basis
for the third Indictment against Ben
niger. This Is also said to be vio-
latlon of section 1906 Of the revised
statutes Of Idaho.
