Three Other Cases in
Court.

Since our last publication things have
peeh hummlng IN the lower courts, one
preliminary having been held, verdicts
given i'll two cases and another one set
Tor early next month.
In the preliminary hearing of Henry
Adkison, which was held before Judge
DeHaNen last week, upon the charge of
grand larceny, the defendant was held
to the district court in the bond of
$500. The complaining witness was
Mrs. Eva Garfield and it is alleged that
the defendant appropriated some eight
hundred head of sheep belonging to her.
On Monday VIM. Wagner of Cotton
wood was tried in the probate court on
the charge of receiving money under
false pretenses, the complaining witness
being Judge Duffy of the same town.
The court discharged the defendant
and taxed the costs, 5000 to the com
planning witness. Tuesday Wagner
swore out warrant for the arrest of
the Judge upon the charge Of malicious
prosecution and the Judge promptly
came over to the county seat town for a
hearing, which at the suggestion of all
parties was continued until the fourth
of December. The two cases seem to
have grown out of Misunderstanding
in which no one seems to have been en-
tirely to blame.
Wednesday, upon warrant issued
at the request of Sol Clark, for Roy
/ Woodin, harvest hand who came over
from our neighboring state of Washing
ton to assist in the garnering of the
Idaho county crop. 1t was alleged that
Woodin has been overpaid through an
error in computing his wages due to
the sum of $40 by Clark and which
| amount he refused to return. Woodin
admitted he had the twenty dollars but
claimed an offset by reason of not hav-
ing had his time properly cerdited in
other instances. The case was tried
in the court of Judge Vineyard who
found the young man guilty of petit
larceny and gave him sentence of thir-
ty days in the county Jail which he is
now serving out.

Kamiah Progress Intimates Road to be

As near as can be ascertained there
has been just lately man in the neigh

grain and potatoes, this being shipped
to Kooskia. As local conditions in that
community would not justify such ac-
tion it is reasonable to suppose that a
move is being contemplated along rail
road lines in the up-riyer country. When
in Lewiston speaking before the COM
mercial body some time ago President
Elliot of the Northern Pacific is report
ed as saying that ''the Missoula cutoff
would eventually be constructed but
would not set any date for the work
to commence. This with the action of
buying different kinds of supplies and

The gentlemen state that most of the
beef has been sold and but few herds
remain that are fit for market. The
season has been an exceptionally good
one and with the present high price of
beef the cattleman is beginning to as
sumo the proportions of the old time
cattle baron.
Quite an interest is being taken by
the stockmen in the importing of the
train load of Texas cattle by Knorr 4
Jones and many of them will make pur-
chases of the stock. The priarie has
been pretty well cleaned up in the way
of stock cattle and young stuff, and
the country over around Reubens has
also been invaded in the effort to re
stock the range.

0unpowdOr.

The explosive nature OF gunpowder.
which is made Of charcoal, sulphur and
saltpeter, Is due to the fact that when
fired the charcoal and sulphur are
burned at the expense Of the oxygen
in the saltpeter, much heat is devel-
oped and large quantities Of gas are
produced. This gas exerts great pres.
sure on the sides Of the gun; hence its
disruptive or %propulsive effects. When
%gunpowder Is fired in n gun the explo-
sion is not instantaneous. The expan-
sive force OF the gases produced acts
on the shot all the time 1t Is moving
along the barrel and gradually In
creases its velocity. II the explosion
were so sudden as to be practically in.
Simultaneous the greater part Of the
forces would be exerted mainly on the
sides Of the chamber containing the
powder and not. as Is actually the
case. on the shot.

How to Perform an Amusing and Mys.

This recipe for magic fire writing"
Is given by the Pathfinder: Dissolve
saItpeter in water until the water VIII
take up no mc.c. Then take the
wrong" end of a p%cnholdcr and, dip
ping it in the solution. draw In thick
strokes some name or design on a
piece Of light paper, taking care not
to break the continuity of the writing
anywhere that is. all words must be
Joined. When dry the writing Will
be invisible. Fold over or roll up half
an inch Of each end of such a paper
after It has been allowed to get dry
and stand it on something that will
not burn. Light a match. then blow
It out and apply the glowing tip t"
some spot touched by the design Nou
can make an ink mark before apply
ing the saltpetcr to serve as a gnide).
and n tiny glowworm of fire will
travel all along the lines traced and
end by leaving the device burned out
Of the paper. no other part Of 1t being
destroyed. H...
BY the use Of a little ingenuity all
sorts Of amusing designs for this pur-
pose can be got up. For example, yon
can draw in pencil or ink on the paper
a picture Of one boy throwing a base
ball to another and also trace an In.
visible curved line in the saltpcter
from the hand Of the thrower to that
of the catcher. Then when You touch
FIRE to the thrower's hand the fire will
follow the saltpcter line right to the
others hand.
Those who see the thing and are not
in the secret will be much mystiied
as to why the fire follows this line and
does not burn the rest Of the paper.
Saltpeter enters into gunpowder, and
wherever it has touched the paper it
makes it burn.

SMOKE FOR 4 LIVING.
French Tobacco Testers and Their Pc.
culiar Line Of Work.

GUITAR LINZ " WOVN'
In the French ministry Of finance
there is a class Of officials whose acs
tivity Is little known to the outer
world. These men are the official to-
bacco testers. and they pass Judgment
on every kind Of tobacco manufactured
In France.
They consist Of a chairman and five
assistants, and from morning to e
ing they have nothing to do but smoke
cigars. cigarettes and pipes, In order
to arrive at an estimate Of the differ
ent kinds Of tobacco submitted to
them.
1t is not only the products Of home
industry that come before them for
judgment, but the cigars and cigarettes
that are sold in France have also to
make their appeal to the decision Of
their palate, and the p~leasantest part
Of the days work comes when 1t falls
to their lot to test the high price Ha-
vana cigars sold by the state.
The officials who undertake this diff.
fcult and responsible duty are ex-in-
spectors of tobacco manufactures who
have passed a certain number Of years
in the states service and have given
proof Of their c%apability for this pecul'
lar kind Of work. Their by no means
light duty consists In smoking from
Q in the morning to s in the evening,
and very often 1T Is by no means the
best kinds Of tobacco with which they
have to deal. The injurious influence
Of this tobacco debauch. which pro-
duces great dryness of the mouth and
throat and might easily lead to nico-
tine poisoning, they endeavor to COM
bat by drinking great quantities OF
black coffee. which acts as an antidote
to the effects of tho nicotine imbibed.
And it Is only BIAS coffee that G n
ders it possible for them to distinguish
between. and estimate the value Of the
various kinds Of strong tobacco.
The danger by these valiant OFF,
Gals can best be gagged by remember
ing the highly poisonous character OF
nicotine rs brought out especially by
the experience Of a Croatian In he
Crimean war, who, on finding a s &c
in a wall, knocked the bowl Off his H.
bouk and plunged the end into its
mouth, with the result that 1t fell dead
at his feet as stiff as a piece Of IRON

Needless Use Of opiates.

It is perhaps a conservative estimate
that only 10 per cent Of the entire drug
consumption in this country Is applied
to the purpose of bunting incurable
pain. Thus 90 per cent of the opiates
used are. strictly speaking. unneces-
sary. In the innumerable cases that
have come under my observation Is per
cent, of the habitual users became such
without reasonable excuse. Beginning
with small occasional doses, they real.
lied within a few weeks that they had
lost self control and could not discon-
tinue the use of the drug.-Charles B.

A native had been sentenced to death
for killing his wife. On the morning
Of the execution the officer who was
experimenting the hanging entered
the condemned mans cell. Instead OF
finding him crouching In terror he was
surprised to be greeted with a low bow
and a request.
The man wished for some sweet
meats with which to refresh himself
on his way to the gallows. They were
ordered, and on their arrival the pro-

The doomed man ate the sweetmeats
with a relish as he calmly walked
along the way Of death. When the
gallows was reached the crowd which
had followed seated themselves on the
ground. The man waited a few Sec

mounted the gallows with composure
and was swung off.
