BOSTON REvoL1ED.

When Commodore Knowles Worked
His Press Gang In 17G.
In the year l747 great tumult was
raised In the town of Boston. Com
modore Knowles. while lying at Nan.
tucket with a number of men of war,
losing some of his men by desertion,
thought it reasonable that Boston
should supply him with as many men
as he had lost. He therefore sent his
boats uptown early in the morning
and surprised not only as many sea.
men as could be found on board of
any of the boats outward bound as
we'll as others. but swept the wharfs,
taking some ship carpenters appren-
tees and landsmen.
This conduct was resented. As soon
as it was dusk several people assem-.
bled In King street below the town
house. where the general court was
sitting. Stones and brickbats were
thrown into the council chamber
through the windows. A judicious
speech Of the governor from the bal
cony, disappearing of the impress and
promising his utmost endea vors to OBJ.
tain the discharge Of the persons i'm.
pressed. had no effect The seizure
and restraint of the commanders and
other officers who were In town were
insisted upon as the only effectual
method to procure the release Of the
inhabitants on board the ships. The
militia was summoned in aid of the
government. but refused to appear.
Letters in the meantime passed be.
tween the governor and the commo-
dore. The council and house of repre-
sentatives now passed some vigorous
resolutions. and the tumultuous spirit
began to yubside. Finally the commo-
dore dismissed most if not all of the
inhabitants who had been impressed.
and the squadron sailed.

present. The children had all the
lemonade they wished Swings were
hung in different places which pro.
vided pleasure for the smaller chill

to the ninth grade who had every.
thing 10 charge, Gus Hensen, Oliver
Gault, and Ethel Brackin. About
five o'clock the jolly pcnlcers wended
their way homeward, some with
broken plates, or cups, some with lost
forks or spoons. and all tired, but
happy.

NOISY FISHES.
The Skate Grunts, the Puffer Chuckles
and the Drumfish Booms.

The Skate Grunts, the Puffer Chuckles,
and the Drumfish Booms.
Perhaps the most conspicuous exam.
pie OF the fishes that are capable of ut
terance is the drumfish. SO called by
reason of the deep, booming noise it
produces at will. It Is found along
the Atlantic coast from Massachusetts
to Florida.
The sQueteague. another salt water
fish OF the noisy variety, resembles in
appearance the trout, and the not un
musical sound that it gives out is
much like the note uttered BY a big
bullfrog. Allied to the squeteague is
the fish known as 1.-THE croaker," which.
as Its popular name indicates, Affects
the croak-an unmistakable croak.
The sea robin. so called because It
has crimson fms Just behind its head.

other fish that makes itself heard.
The "squawk" Of the sea robin il es-
pecially emphatic when on being
caught it lifts up its voice In reiterat
ed protests.
Ihere Is fish that may be said to
chuckle-the little puffer or swellfish.
IT puns itself into the shape of q per.

out peculiar. hoarse chuckle.
The skate when caught grunts.
groans and gasps pretty much after
the manner Of human being in dis.

on the 9th he handed the clerk
check drawn in favor of the Village
of Rathdrum to pay for the IS foot
length of 81 in. pipe sold to Mr..
Feely at 67H cents foot, the in

to report the payment to the board,
which was done at the meeting OF

bank had closed; that early Mon
day morning, the day of the trial,
Mr.. Kirkpatrick handed in another
check for S13.I8 for the length Of

that the clerk handed both checks
to F. 0. Hill, deputy treasurer,
about 8 o'clock Monday morning,
Just before leaving for Occur d.
Alene to attend the trial. This
latter testimony explained the lack
of any record of payment for pipe
in the treasurer's cash book up to
and including May 18th.
The testimony further showed
that parties wanting pipe asked
Mr.. Kirkpatrick about it because
of his business as blacksmith and
machinist and his facilities for do
ing certain work on the pipe to
suit it to the purposes Of the pur-
chaser. On cross examination by
Attorney Potts, Mr.. Poleson denied

witness stand, SO nothing was
learned at the trial as to what he
knew about the case, or what OF
who may have induced him to file
a charge that could not be sub
stantiated.
The prosecuting attorney sought
to show that Mr.. Kirkpatrick did
not pay for the pipe until after he
had heard that complaint was
about to be sworn out, but Mr..
Kirkpatrick testified that on the
9th, when the pipe was sold to Mr.
! MCGUIRE, and on the morning OF
the 9th, when he rendered the
check to the clerk for the pipe sold
to Mr.. Feely, he chad not dreamt''
that complaint was to be filed
against him, and that, as a matter
Of fact, he was.not notified by the
sheriff until the 18th.

AFFLICTED FAMILY
Two Cases OF PeIlagra in DR.. O.
7, Newbill's Family

The family Of Dir. G. T. New
bill, of the Atwood community,
has two cases Of pellagra. Mar
tin NewbiIl, twenty-three years
old, and his sister, Miss Brooksie,
twenty-one years old, are both in
a critical condition.
G. r. Newbill, a neighbor and
relative, was here Monday, and he
said the condition of the two young
people was simply deplorable.
The young man has been crazy at
intervals for nearly four weeks,
and is mind is becoming more af-
fected all the time. He is some
better in other respects, but the
deranged attacks come oftener and
he becomes wild and wants to
do something desperate. Arrange
ments were being made to carry
him to the asylum at Boliyer as he
had to be guarded, and often it
took two or more persons to man
age him.
Miss Brooksie's mind first be-
came affected Monday of last week.
or at least it became very notice
able then, and she has been grow
ing worse since, and at times her
mind would be entirely gone and
she would scream for hours. She
is indeed in a very critical condi-
ton.
DR.. Newbill, who is a very
prominent physician himself, has
had other physicians to see his
children, and they have all agreed
that the disease is pellagra, and
since studying the disease and its
symptoms the doctor is satisfied
the maiady has been coming on
bis son and daughter for nearly
three years.
This is a most excellent family
and they have host of friends
who sympathize with them in their
sad affIiction.

Infants Close Call

A special from Milan says: Joe
h Sadler, a successful farmer
seven miles north of here near
Gam, lost his residence by fire
Saturday afternoon. Mr.. and Mrs.
Sadler were in the field about 800
yards distant from the house when
they discovered that the house was
enveloped in flames. They rushed
to the house and arrived in time
to carry out their infant child just
before the roof fell in. The house
and contents were valued at 81 900
with no insurance. Nothing was
saved. 1t is thought that fire was
caused by an ember rolling out
from the hearth upon the floor.

gress in States Schools

The statistical tables for the re-
port Of State Superintendent of
Public Instruction Brister for the
year ending June, 1912, have been
completed. The summaries reveal
progress. The scholastic popula-
tion shows no material increase,
but the enrolment and attendance
are in advance of previous records.
There is more than 10000 increase
in enrolment and 5000 in attend
ance. Only 6S per cent of the
scholastic population is enrolled
and As per cent in attendance.
1t is urged that a compulsory
attendance law is needed. There
are local laws in thirty-three coun-
ties, but they are indifferently en-
forced. The summaries show an
increase Of receipts over the pre-
yious year, they being S6,677,-
262 Sc, compared with So, $751;
54O.45. Supt. Brister doesn't be-
lieve that all of this excess repre-
sents actual increase of appropria-
ton, but that he has been more
successful in securing data. The
