ley has borne q reputation Of being .
distributing point for intoxicating Ii.
quors, and the court records OF Bling
ham county show that there has beer
more criminal cases brought from
that district than from any other Of
the county. A majority ct cases were
directly attributable to Intoxicating Ii
Quors and if the fight of the editor an
his following against the sac of liquor
can be made effective they are emit

METHODIST CHURCH NOTES !


A very interesting program is al
ready under way for the next mems
meeting. Further announcements viii
be made next week.
The Xmas program committee re-
ports work progressing nicely toward
the Xmas entertainment and the. ar
rangements committee is making plans
for tree and the necessary accessor-
les which make such an occasion en-
joyable to the young
The Bazaar is the great thing in the
thought of the Ladies Aid society this
week. Every committee seems to. be
doing its best. The society did not
subscribe to the church budget and
should not be expected to, but instead
they assumed the debt and their
slogan is Get rid of that and then
work for new and creditable par
sonage. They have many things for
sale that people want for Xmas pre-
sents and will sell them at very rea-
sonable prices.
The Epworth Leaguers. finding out
that the pastor of the church had
reached another mile stone in the
journey of life, gave him happy sur,
prise on Friday evening of last week.
A neighbor got him and his wife to
come over and talk over some church
| affairs and it seems the word was
quickly given and In a few minutes
twenty-five young people took poses
sion Of the parsonage and one called
up the minister. telling him that he
was wanted at home. The surprise
was complete, the evening was plea
sanity spent and the guests departed
wishing their pastor many years of
happiness and usefulness in his chosen
work. =

POEM LIKE "Hoch DER KAISER,
Idaho Army officer u the Aus.hor-
German Emperor IL "insulted"

Washington, Dec. 8.-One Of the
members Of the German embassy staff
Indicated tonight that the embassy re-
cards as '.impertinent" a poem by Cap
tain George staunenberg, U. S. A..
published in the Army and Navy Jour-
nal in which fun IS made Of the
German emperor and Won Moltke Tho
insinuation Of the verses is that the
Turks were beaten because they fol-
lowed the. advice, Of German military
experts.
It is intimated that while no action
has been taken yet, the poem will
be referred to the state department
by tho embassy. It will then be the
duty Of state department to re-
fer the complaint to the war depart
mcnt II the state department. regards
the verses as malicious and imperti-
nent: Beyond doubt the action of the
German embassy is in obedience to
directions from the kaiser.
Captain Staunenberg was transfer
red months ago from Fort McPhcr-
son to an army post in the north
west, following the publication Of let
tors in which he didiculed Atlanta and
other southern cities and compared
them unfavorably with Boise, Idaho.
Steunenberg's letters created much
feeling, especially in Atlanta, as they
were written after he had been given
entree to the leading Atlanta clubs.
The Blackfoot optimist. [volume] (Blackfoot, Idaho) 1907-1918, 1912-12-12

There was a movement to have
reproved by the war de-
partment, but 1t came to nothing.
During the controversy Stunenberg
stood by his letters and declared he
had stated the simple truth about
southern cities and their people
Steunenberg was then left severely
alone In social. way and finally Sc
cured transfer.
Army and navy officers discussed
the verses tonight at the Army and
Navy club, and while they would not
express any opinion on the subject
they said that the case was a close
parallel to the "Hoch der KAISER
sensation OF Rear Admiral Coghlan.
which, ended without any severe dis.
ciplining Of the admiral.
One Of tho members Of the general
army staff said that there was. an
unwritten law that army and navy
officers, and in fact, all officers, Of
one government, shall not appear pub
licly in the attitude Of criticising ano
ther power or its people or officers.
Sometimes, however" said this
officer, when it is patiently a case
Of only good-natured fun. no harsh
measures are taken"
Rear Admiral Coghlan did not write
the poem, "Hoch der Kaiser" Il
was written by another officer ant
delivered by Coghlan at banque
rendered to him in New York on hi!
return from the Spanish American
war The navy department wrote Ad
miral Coghlan a mild letter Of repri
mand. The Steunenberg poem is a

tem.-Litcrary Digest.
Oh, bark We, Yankee soldiers, from
far across the sea
Comes the news that Turkeys fighting
men were trained by Germanee.
That she faced the Bull-Conalies singl,
handed and alone
With simple faith in Allah and oul
Deified Won Rohne.
And they say that on the morning
that the mighty battle broke.
That German tutored army vanished
in whirl Of smoke;
That their swords were all unsullicd
and their guns were all forgot,
AS they sought the dim horizon
in hasty turkey trot.
A Montenegro major gave the flying
foe glance,
Then rolled cigarette and scratched
a match upon his pants
And spake unto his gunners, LET EN-
have few more jolts-
That is, if your shells can catch EN-
they've been trained by Won der
Goltz.''
A colonel of Bulgarians then tossed
aside his coat
And yelled, Game on, my hearties.
Looks as If VIZ lad their goat.
Just follow Uncle Fuller to yon battle
merry whirl
While we show 'em how to do it
they've been reading Griepenker,'
Away from Constantinople the hosts
Of Allah sped, A'
And the only ones that halted were
the ones that stopped the lead.
Quoth a Servian lieutenant then,
"'Tis evident to me
That yon army has been studying the
. books Of Won Molt-kee."
Said painting Turkey corporal from
German teaching freed
I'VE amt much on formation, but
we sure are hi for speed
So they sprinted night and mornin,
till their lungs were fit to burst,
But they won the six-day Marathon
they reached the city first.
A tale that points a moral
Most anyone can see
That it's time to disregard the way
OF Jackson. Grant and Lee;
For the sacred Scripture tells us.
"Ye shall know them by their work
So we lift our hats to Won der Goltz
the man who trained the Turks
And now while Europe trembles on
the verge of deadly fray.
The dove of peace is cooling in the
good old U. S. A.
For, you bet, the foreign powers will
leave Uncle Sam alone
While our highbrows down at Leayen
worth are studying Won Rohne.
And while the German eagle scars
above the Balkan storm
1t strikes us as fitting time to
change the uniform; a
Let's get one of those shiny things
they wear across the breast
And add a cleaning helmet with an
eagle on the crest.
/ And down at Sunny Leavenworth
let Dutch professors rule;
And build model brewery-an
annex to the school
A marble bust of Won der Goltz
respondent in the hall,
And photographs of Kaiser Bill
adorning ev'ry wall.
And he who seeks promotion must
subsist solid year
Or pretzels, cheese and wienerwurs

tem.-Litcrary Digest.
The Washington herald., 1912-04-14

a few miles from the camp Of the medi-
cine man, there rode out of the brush
in the creek bottom an Apache chief
named Sanchez He came forward as a
friend, shook hands with the American
officers and slowly rode along the lines,
apparently counting the men as he went.
Orders had been given that the Ameri-
cans should not appear as If looking for
q fight, As 1t was still hoped an uprising
might be averted; %, although the actions
of the chief were suspicious. he was al
lowed to count up the command unham-
pered, and when he had finished he gal
Hoped back to the creek below.
Arrived at the camp . little later, the
American officers were surprised to find
that the medicine man surrendered will
ingly and appeared to have no thought
of resistance. It was explained to the
rest Of the Indians that Mckay Diet
KLINE and his family were only being
taken to the post and would be well
treated, but 1t was also explained that
if there was any attempt at . rescue he
would be killed at once.
That this threat had so little influence
on subsequent events is Cue to the fact
that the medicine man himself had as
sured them that he could never really die
and that if he were killed by the whites
he would come back to life again.
Through high willows and underbrush
the command moved with Its prisoners, and
a camp was selected to spend the night
1t had been noticed that mounted Indians
were coming up the creek from the gulches
which the column bad carefully avoided
and that they were collecting about the
medicine mans guard. Colonel Carr, fear
ing trouble, directed Captain E. g. Henig
quietly to warn these Indians away from
the camp. and be directed Lieutenant Car
ter, who was regimental quartermsster. to
separate the scouts and get them in camp
out Of harms way.
The Washington herald., 1912-04-14

Lieutenant Carter, fully realizing that
the situation required delicate handling
called the scouts and directed that they
be put in camp. The scouts left the Other
Indians, but it was noticed that they were
reluctant about going. Captain Hentig,
standing near Lieutenant Carter, called
to the other Indians to 90 away. As he
raised his arm to motion to them one half
witted young Indian fred and gave the
war cry.
In an instant the redskins were tren-
zied, and dwelling their rifles at Captain
Hentig, his orderly and Lieutenant Car
:er, who stood together, began firing into
the group. The FIRST volley brought down
Captain Hentig and his orderly, and bull
lets whistled by Lieutenant Carter from
every direction. With his two comrades
shot down, Lieutenant Carter stood mo
mentarily facing more than one hundred
Indians, besides the scouts in camp. He
knew that the first move would be made
toward capturing his fallen comrades
With his lighting blood aroused he
lemptied his revolver at his enemies in the
hope that he would last long enough to
rescue the wounded and rob the Apaehes
of their prey. Standing his ground, he
managed to carry the wounded men to the
rear. while the dismounted men Of troop
ID. seeing one Of their comrades facing
general attack, seized their rifles and,
with Sergeant Alonzo Bowman In the
lead, rushed to the rescue.
The astonishing spectacle Of one young
ofscer facing more than a hundred In
dams momentarily oyerawed the red
skins and caused them to pause in their
attack This pause, it was afterward
said. probably saved the entire camp
from humiliation. 1t gave the necessary
breathing spell for the Americans to rush
to the attack The Apaehes fell back
and made for cover.

features. To his CONSERVATION and sur
prise the medicine man opened his eyes
and began making signs to him. In spite
Of the fact that he had been literally
riddled with bullets he was still alive.
1t was Immediately APPARENT that IL
the followers of the medicine man should
learn that he was alive in spite Of his
many wounds it would stir them on to
renewed frenzy and action II BY any
chance the Indian should fall into the
hands of his friends and recover It would
give him a commanding influence over
his superstitious followers, which might
end the long drawn out war
By the time Lieutenant Carter had re-
ported his uncanny discovery to Colonel
Carr there had been a cessation Of shots,
and it was judged most prudent not to
start another volley, as might have been
came necessary to kill the medicine man
by some other means than shooting. One
of the guides named Burns was Instructed
to accompany Lieutenant Carter and put
the medicine man to death with a knife.
The superstition that the Indian bore a
charmed life and could not die had to q
certain degree taken hold Of the mn in
the camp, and Burns, fearing thata knife
might not slay him, took an axe and
crushed in the skull Of the fanatic.
The Apaches later learned Of what had
been done. and from that time forward
every person murdered BY them was killed
in the same manner As their chief had died.
The Indians on the following day were
driven Of, and finally they scattered and
came to terms. But in the meantime there
were some other incidents In the campaign
which reminded all present that they were
professional fighters and were seeing all
the horrors and atrocities Of war

find no cause for grievance.
An investigation was begun, as the Gtd'
tude of the Indians grew steadily worse
and soon it appeared that there had a.

prophecies me true. he had been lavish
with promises as to what was going tc
happen in the way of good fortune tC
the tribe, and as up to date nothing IN.
usual had happened, he determined to in.
fame his followers still more.
Among other of his promises had been
one TO the effect that he would bring to
life al the ancestors of those who faith
fully believed in him. but as an excuse
for not at once bringing about this re
markable resurrection he said nothing
could be done until the whites had either
been murdered or driven out
When this was learned BY the Ameri-
can troops it was at once plain that i'm
mediate interference was necessary. The
medicine man and several Of the chiefs
were called to an interview with Colonel
Carr, who explained to them the folly
and futiIty Of rising against the whites.
