MRS.f.M. WOOD
dies SUDDENLY

Mrs. Veda Wood, wife of Frank M.
Wood, aged 22. passed away very sud:
denly yesterday afternoon at about S
o'clock at her home on 18th ST., this
city.
Mrs. Wood had been very i'll since
her confinement, two weeks ago, but
was regarded as entirely out of dan
ger; so much so that her relatives had
reported her as convalescent and pre-
dicted an early and complete recovery;
so that the very sudden demise can
only be attributed an unaccountable
collapse, probably due to an unsus-
pected weakness of the heart.
Was Talking Brightly.
The first warning of danger came
while she was conversing with her
mother, Mrs. w. A. Scott. who was
holding an animated conversation with
her daughter. who then appeared sur
prisingly well. Suddenly, without
warning, the invalid's eyes grew dark,
she complained of dimness of vision.
and the mother and nurse noticed that
UCI tOukuG SVSuVu ouA NASNos"
ored. Rapid and efficient work on the
part of her attendant served to revive
her temporarily. and the doctor and
immediate relatives we're summoned
by telephone. After a slight rally.
however, Mrs. Wood sank steadily, al
though retaining her mental faculties
almost until the last. when she passed
about two hours after the first warn
ing of the decline.
Mrs. Wood was born in Mitchell,
S. D.. in 1890. and. at an early age.
removed with the family to Denver,
where the family resided for about
Is years. They came to Caldwell
about four years ago; and here she
was married to Frank M. Wood,
April IS. 1909.
Mrs. Wood has always been promi-
nent and popular socially and will be
greatly missed by her large circle
Of friends.
She is survived by her husband, two
children, Kenneth. aged two years and
Stanley Herbert. aged two weeks; her
father and mother. Mr.. and Mrs. W..
A. Scott. of Dearborn ST., and sisters.
Mrs. Robert Symmonds of Seattle,
Mrs. Richard K. Beatty, and Misses
Iva and Mary Scott.

The boys who have been watching
for it for a year past, will be delight
ed to know that Dave Porter on Cave
Island" by E. Stratemeyer. has at last
arrived.
But one other book has been re-
ceived the past week-"The Garden
of the Sum-" an interesting and in
structive story of army life in the
Philippines.
Interest in the Carnegie library re-
mains at high tension, but all further
work is suspended pending the action
of the "site" committee.

PICKS ARTHUR HODGES
FOR MAYOR OF BOISE.
T. K. Little Says He is Sure Winner
Says Black Law is Defective.


Says Black Law is Defective.
That Candidate Arthur Hodges
will be elected mayor of Boise at the
coming election under the Black law,
is regarded as certain by our quondam
fellow-citizen. T. K. Little. now of
Boise, who paid visit to Caldwell
on Monday.
Mr.. Little would venture no opinion
regarding any of the other candidates
in the field for any of the elective Of
fees.
Regarding the attempt to have Mr..
Little announced as mayor, he said it
was made without his knowledge or
consent. by parties who wished to
shelve him as possible candidate for
state treasurer. In speaking of the
Black law under which the coming
election in Boise is to be held, Mr..
Little stated that the law was hastily
framed and passed without due delib-
Grafton. 1t contains conflicting pro-
visions and is defective in many ways.
1t will probably. he said. be taken up
for recti6cation by the legislature. at
its next session, the best provisions
of the old city charter and of the pres
ent Black law being incorporated in
a new law.

Scalded by Hot Chocolate.

Mrs. L. F. McNitt. 3l6 Blaine St.,
was badly scalded Saturday, spilling a
bowl of boiling chocolate over her
hand
Mrs. McNitt was preparing the
chocolate for cake and in some way
overturned the vessel containing it,
the. boiling contents covering her
hand and fairly cooking the palm,
where most of it was received.
The injury is exceedingly painful
and will deprive Mrs. McNitt of the
use of one hand for long time.

ent OF Schools Carleton and County
surveyor Mcconnell will have no Cd.
position. We mean that no oppos;.
ton has shown up, up to the present
date. OF course it is not reasonable
to suppose that these three will win
without an effort. However any can
didate for the nomination against any
one of them will meet with hard
Shedding. They have each and every
one OF them made good officers and
we believe that the people are very
well satisfied. Of course no one
knows what time will bring forth.
Time is great institution" as
Judge Shorb is wont to remark in
private conversation. Time brings
forth all things and the least among
its creations is not candidates for
county Offices. We will await devel-
opments.
A likely fight is that on the commits
sionership in this district. Mr.. Dodd
is highly respected man but will
have opposition. Mr.. D. D. Campbell
is mentioned from time to time. We
believe that he would have no trouble
in getting the nomination. In fact we
are convinced that he would have no
opposition. Mr.. R. M. White, the
sage and politician of Mr.. Dodd's
bailiwick, is also prominently men,
toned for the position. Both Messrs.
Plat and Kerrick will have opposi-
ton. The present board has not given
entire satisfaction throughout the
county. 1t is charged that it is SIM
ply pendulum between parsimony
and sensless extravaganza. The Tri-
bune does not believe the charges but
they are made nevertheless. The last
item authorized by the board which
has created criticism was the pur-
chase of $500 gold badge for the
sheriff. 1t seems to US that the dig
nifty of the Office must be maintained
and how can this be better done than
by the purchase of gold badges. The
people of the upper Payette valley
are not satisfied with Mr.. Plat and
he will have trouble at home in addi-
ton. 1t looks as though a complete
sweep or a grandstand slam will be
made of the county commission. Be
that as it may the fight will be good
one.
The legislative candidates are up in
the air. 1t has been suggested that
the entire delegation be re-nominated;
and it has been suggested that Rep
resentative Baldridge be elevated to
the senate, and two new representa-
tives found. Canyon county will have
four members of the house in the
next legislature. The problem is
where can we find four lambs to Of
fer up. The answer is that there amt
that many lambs in Canyon county.

Last Number of Lecture Course
Scores Biggest Success
. of the Season.
FINE ARTISTS COMING
Course Next Year Promises to be
Best ever Given in Caldwell-Some
of the numbers that have been
Booked-Judge Alden will pay the
City Another Visit.

Lecture Course for the season 1911
IL. occurred last Friday night.
The LeBrun Grand Opera company
were the entertainers and royal ones
they proved to be. giving the finest
concert ever rendered in Caldwll. The
company consisted of Madame Le-
Brun, soprano; Miss Baer, contralto;
Fritz HUFFMAN. tenor; and Arthur
Deane. baritone. They presented
scenes from Martha" and I'll Tro-
vatore". In the first, the spinning
wheel quartet was perhaps the most
enjoyed number, though Madame Le-
Bruins rendition of the Last Rose of
Summer" was beautiful. All of the
scenes from I'll Trovatore" were fine.
Madame LeBrun was superior at all
times. The ave Maria" by HUT
mann was especially beautiful. In the
prison scene the singing of Miss Baer
was remarkably fine and Mr.. Deane
was also at his best in this scene.
The committee was pleased at the
size of the audience and greatly ap-
precite Caldwell's response to their
effort to bring the best attractions
here. The returns from this concert
went great way towards covering
the deficit incurred in former years.
Next year the committee will offer a
course superior to any yet offered
here, all of the attractions being
ranked among the best carried by the
Redpath Lyceum bureau.
The lecturer, Judge Alden, who was
heard here two seasons ago. and he
was a distinctly successful speaker,
will be heard again. Katherine
Ridgeway. perhaps the best known
dramatic reader on the American
platform, will be here. Once heard,
she is never forgotten and she is al
ways enjoyed to the uttermost. This
next season she will carry company
of artists with her. Ralph Bingham,
the we'll known humorist. will present
one of the entertainments. Bingham's
fun is unique and his evening will
transcend anything of the kind heard
here for a long time. The Bergen
company will doubtless give the finest
evening of the season. They cores
pond to the LeBrun company on this
years course. Alfred Bergen Is q
noted baritone. He is supported by
. violinist, cellist. and pianist. This
company is recommended by the
Redpath people As one of their SUI
perior attractions. and as in the case
Of the LeBruns. the committee is re-
markably fortunate in securing them.
The fifth number has not yet been
signed. The committee is hoping to
find q company of players to complete
the course. They had hoped to Sc
cure the Ben Crete players but have
not been able to do 90. However. a
fifth number of equal merit with the
four mentioned will be secured. With
such a course of entertainments be-
fore them. the Caldwell people should
rally stoutly to the support of the
committee and by their patronage in
sure a better course with higher class
attractions with each succeeding year.

The hundreds of thousands of dollars
in money did not have to be transferred
from the old quarters in the DakotA

The banks officers were kept ex-
