A Double wi inning.

Judge l.. Vineyard is lucky player
in more ways than one. Take for in
stance the winning of the case of ~Lafe
Yates against the Calhas Prairie rail
road company, the decision in which
was handed down by the supreme court
last week. The case was tried to the
limit, the defendant company having
some of the best legal talent in the
country on its side but the Judge re-
covered the sum of $3.50 for his client
and then just to show his confidence
in his ability, made a wager of five
dollar hat and a hundred bit cigars
with the opposing counsel that he would
win his case, thus making double win
ming.

Teddy big Sticks"
Idaho Supreme Court
Says Ought Be Recalled for DISTINGUISHING Progress
sives-Becomes Violent in His Remarks

Chicago, Dec. 1O.-Colonel Theodore
Roosevelt and George w. Perkins of
New York were the leading figures at
the national conference of the progress
sive party.
Mr.. Roosevelt, DEPRESSING from pre-
pared address, made vigorous attack
on the Idaho supreme court for it's de-
cision in the recent campaign regarding
presidential electors.
Mr.. Perkins took the center of the
stage when it became known that GER
tain of his fellow progressives had
started movement to oust him from
the national executive committee be-
cause of his former corporation con-
nections.
Colonel Roosevelt took up the fight
for Mr.. Perkins. Pointing out Mr..
Perkins and calling him by name, Mr..
Roosevelt declared that the New York
financier was one of the men he was
proud to have as fellow worker in the
progressive party.
Later in the day Mr.. Perkins made
speech in which he asserted that al
ways he had been for progressive meas
ures and that he resented any intima
tion that he was merely a convert tt
the cause.
Taking up the Idaho supreme cour
decision, Colonel Roosevelt said:
81 have been asked by j. II. Gipson
progressive state chairman of Idaho, OF
his behalf to present to you in a few
words a concrete illustration in whicl
the court has done the greatest injus
tice to the people and is seeking to d
worse injustice.

"They declared that the electors

Dentist Has Miraculous
Escape from Death
Dr. Green Stands Over 50 Pounds of Exploding Dyna-
mite-Lives to Relate His Experience.

1t is seldom that a man stands over
80 pounds of dynamite while it explodes
and lives to tell about it, but that was
the experience Of DIR. G.. A. Green, the
local dentist, who has homestead be-
tween this place and Grangeville on
the mountain, Tuesday morning about
four clock.
The doctor had fifty pound box Of
40 per cent giant powder at the place
for blasting out trail and digging a
cellar, and to keep it from freezing, had
it stored under the house in an impro-
Vised cellar. He was alone at the time,
his family being here during the school
year, and after reading late he went to
bed about IL o'clock. About four
o clock he was awakened by the crack
ling of burning timbers and smoke in
the room. He got up, saw nothing wrong
in the house outside of smoke, and went
outside, taking bucket of water with
him, to investigate the source. As he
went around the house the flames burst
out from underneath the building, show
ing the whole lower portion of the
house which was several feet from the
ground, to be aflame. He saw there
was no chance to save the house and
rushed inside to save wnat little he
could of his household goods. He had
just rolled up what few of his clothes
that he could put his hands on in his
bed-he being in his pajamas- and was
just STOPPING over to gather it up when
the dynamite exploded almost directly
beneath him. The next thing he knew
was that he was pinned fast under the
debris and that the flames had crept
almost to the point where he lay. He
struggled to get loose for several Sec
onds with no success but finally man.
aged, by crawling in the direction of
the fire, to effect his escape. Think.
ing of his saddle horse, and fearing that
the stable might catch afire from the
burning wreckage, he turned her out
and started, in his pajamas and bare
feet, through three inches of snow and
raging blizzard, for the nearest house
over half mile away. He reached il
in a nearly frozen condition, the ther
mometer being near zero.
In the morning, with the coming Of
daylight, two men went to the scene oi
the disaster and report that pieces Of
timber and, in one case, large sec

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
Grangeville and Idaho county are
practically depopulated this week, ev-
erybody being in Lewiston taking in
the livestock show. The people of Ida
ho county are vitality interested in the
stock industry and whether the owner
Of several thousand head Of range cat
tie or the small rancher who raises
few skim milk calves and sells cream
to the city folks, we all realize the i'm
portance of the cattle industry to this
section and likewise the magnitude of
the Northwestern Livestock Show at
Lewiston and what it means to the fu-
ture Of the livestock industry.
Everybody There.
ALI the Salmon and Snake river cat
tlemen are there, the exodus from that
section beginning as early as last Sat
urday, in fact the Salmon river people
started early and intend remaining
late. They are live bunch and have
gwen more than passive support to the
big show.
The largest crowd left here Tuesday
morning, at which time a special was
run, taking over 400 people from the
nigh line country to Lewiston. No
stock show is complete without the
famous cowboy band of Grangeville
ana when desire was expressed by the
excursionists that the band should ac-
company them, the money was quickly
raised among the business men and the
famous organization gotten together
iof . weeks playing at the Gateway
osy and from reports eminating from
ooWn there, the boys are even more
popuiar with the crowd this year than
last and can have anything in the
city.

Keeps Your Stove
" Always Ready for Company"

A bright, clean, GLOSSY stove is the JOY
and pride OF every housekeeper. But it
is hard to keep a stove nice and shiny
unless Black Silk Stove Polish is used.
Here is the reason: Black silk Stove
Polish sticks t7gft to the iron. 1t doesn't
yub off ar dust eff Its shine lasts four
times longer than the shine of any Other
polish. You only need to polish one
fourth as often, yet your stove will be
cleaner, brighter and betfsy iooktng than
it has been since you first bought il. Use
