YOUTH TAKES VALUABLES
Gets i'm Limbo But Released on PrOm-
Use Of Future Good Behavior.

Stephen Halvorsen of this city, a
youth of IL years, was arraigned be-
fore Judge Morgareidge in the pro-
bate court this morning to render an
account of his proceedings yesterday
when he went through the pockets of
some garments which he found hang
ing in a room at the Hagan & Cush-
ing packing plant. Several articles,
including knife, gold watch, few
pieces of money and bunch of keys,
were taken by young Halvorsen and
the suspicion of their owner i'm
mediately attached themselves to the
boy who had been seen loafing around
the plant.
The missing property was reported
to the police and the arrest of the boy
was made by Chief Grant Robbins late
last night. He Immediately returned
the stolen property, confessing that
he had taken it. He was reprimanded
by Judge Morgareidge this morning
and released on good behavior.

Indications that the Mexican situa-

state timber in southern Idaho with

State Auditor Here.

Such was the information brough
to Moscow today by F. L. Huston
state auditor, and likewise membe
of the state land board. Mr.. Hustor
stated this morning that he was no
in favor of selling the land at all bu'
would favor selling the timber at its
reasonable market value, that is he
declared that only timber that would
scale a fixed figure would be sold
leaving the young growth and the
land intact.
Mr.. Huston stated that the rest oi
the land board would probably act
along the same lines. He says that
members Of the board have talked
very little on the subject and the pub
lie is not really posted on the plan
that will be adopted in selling the
timber. The purchasers will be given
a limited time in which to remove the
timber.

(FOr the United PreSS)
WASHINGTON, Aug. 8.-The pres
ent administration is prepared for all
eventualaties in Mexico. The United
States wants peace but the army and
navy are ready if any overt act by
Huerta or his partisans should cause
war. Reports on the presidents desk
show this.
Secretary of the Navy Daniels con-
ferred with the president an hour this
morning and personally assured Pres
ident Wilson that the navy was ready.
Another "a hours may bring the grav-
est developments. The president dis
cussed with Secretary Bryan the re.

reached as to how to reply to Huertas

fishing the instructions to Lind with
view of showing how disinterested
the United States has been.

MEXICO CITY, Aug. 8.-Jingoism
is at boiling point and hostilities to-
ward the United States has never been
SO openly apparent in years. The com
ing of John Lind is violently opposed
and is regarded as an unwarranted in
terference in Mexican affairs. No
general anti-American demonstration
has yet occurred, but if Lind insists on
coming to the city it is feared that out
breaks are certain to occur.

GrOcerymen Careless.

In some places" said Commission
er Wallis, "the grocerymen are too
careless with regard to the sanitary
condition; too careless with regard to
how their goods are kept in the store;
whether they are fresh or contami-
mated with the odor of tobacco smoke
or Goldfish, or such products as have
a disagreeable odor and which odor
is readily taken up by other food
products. Such persons forget that
the public have a right to demand
that all places of business, where food
products are handled shall be kept
in proper sanitary condition, and that
all food products shall be distributed,
handled and stored in such way
as to be free from harmful ingredients
or germs. The public have allowed
individuals to specialize and to take
it upon themselves to supply the gen.
eral public with certain commodities,
while others busy themselves along
other lines. The public, therefore,
have rights which must be respected
by those who are doing business, and
the requirements under the sanitary
inspection law are only reasonable for
the protection of the health of the
people"

Statement by Bryan.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 8.-By direc-
tion of the president, Secretary of
State Bryan issued an official state
ment this afternoon in reply to the
statement by Huerta that John Lind,
the presidents emissary, will NOT be
welcome in Mexico. The statement
follows:
sThe statement from the Me-. lean
foreign office is based on misrepre-
sentation for which this government
is held responsible. In sending Mr.
Lind as advisor to the American en-
bassy the president is entirely within
his rights and this department can
not assume his going to Mexico can
be regarded as an unfriendly act
when the character of the mission is
understood.

CEREAL PRODUCTS
TO Be EXAMINED
IDAHO PURE FOOD DEPARTMENT
PLANNING CAMPAIGN C OF EXTER-
MINATION OF BAD GOODS.
Breakfast Foods and Cereals Will be
Thoroughly Tested and Authorizations
Discovered Will Result i'm Pro-
SecutiOn.

BOISE, Aug. S-The state pure
food department is planning a cam
paign of investigation of cereals and
breakfast foods placed on the market
in Idaho and commissioner Wallis
has therefore issued a warning to ev-
cry retailer handling cereal goods to
understand that the retail stock in ev-
cry part of the state is to be thorough
ly sampled and sent to the state cham
ist for examination and that whenever
contaminations by dirt, vermin and the
like is detected, prosecutions will be
instituted and goods destroyed
A Frank Warming.
This frank warning is given so that
the retailer may have fair oppor-
tunity to clean up his stock and con-
sign to the dump every package of
cereals that is known by him to be
old, stale or in a condition to bring
him into trouble because of lack of
freshness, or it's location in the store
near oil barrels, or weevily goods,
since even fresh goods may quickly
become weevily if stored in the neigh
borhood of old packages containing
these insects.
Commissioner Wallis says that he
recognizes the difficulties of the re-
taller, but declares that the rights of
the consumer cannot be disregarded,
and that the breakfast foods sold in
this state must be fresh, pure and
wholesome. The commissioner says
that generally the quality of cereal
food preparations, when they are sold
fresh to the consumer, is good, but
contends that the condition which he
is trying to eliminate, namely: worms,
bugs, weevil, etc., develops from the
fact that in too many cases the retail
er purchases large quantity in order
to get a reduced price, and then car
ries the stock from season to season,
and as result the goods are attacked
by vermin.

Law Effects Widows.

If you expect to become widow
soon sit up and take notice of your
status under the new law. The thir-
ty-fifth general assembly had kind
ly feeling for the widows of the
state. The new laws which went into
effect include not only the so-called
widows pension act but one law
completely alters the status which
governs the shares of a surviving
spouse when the husband dies with
out leaving a will.
The present law gives the widow
one-half of the estate when there are
no children and the deceased's fam
lily the remainder. Under the new
law, if the testator leaves no issue,
the whole of the estate goes to the
surviving widow, where it amounts
to $500 or. less, after the payment
of the debts and expenses of admins
tration. Where the estate amounts
to more than $500 the widow will
be entitled to half of the amount in
excess of that. The other half of the
excess shall go to the parents.

Don't Like New Road Law.

Harvey Northrup and wife recent
ly returned from Council Bluffs
where he attended the convention of
the Supervisors Association of the
State. He said that the main topic
of the meeting was the new road
law. The State Road Commission
was present and also Mr.. Ames, the
author of the law, who answered
numerous questions in regard to it.
The expression of the supervisors
from over the state was one of much
dissatisfaction with the new law,
they especially taking exception to
the state commission, which seems
to have been created for the benefit
Of Polk and Clinton counties, in
which there seems to have been an
exceptional amount of graft. There
seems to be entirely too much expen-
sive "red tape connected with the
law, and on account of it, in many
counties they have not even yet been
able to get any bridge or road work
done because nearly every improve
ment must be submitted to the state
commission and it's approval return
ed before work can be commenced.
The supervisors seemed to think the
law had many excellent features
especially was the county engineer
of great assistance, and many of the
articles protecting the taxpayers in
terests were good, but too many ex-
pensive and useless positions had
been created and the working of the
machinery was cumbersOme.-Gar

Is Divorced Woman a Widow?
Orif woman is divorced and later

Or if a woman is divorced and later
her husband dies, is she then con-
sidered widow? The legal talent
of this county has been bordering
over these questions ever since the
widows pension law went into effect
the first of July. 1t provides for the
maintenance by the county of the
children of widow, anu states that
a woman whose husband is under the
supervision of the State Board of
Control may be considered a widow,
but does not say anything about di-
vorcee. O.. U. Conwell, clerk of the
district court, has written a letter
to Mr.. Shankland, who introduced the
bill at the last session of the legisla-
ture, and Mr.. Shankland in reply said
that it was the intention of the bill
to include the women who were di-
vorced. In fact it had been one of the
provisions of the bill, but on account
of an objection by charitable insti-
tutions, &c has been left out and was
a question for the courts of Iowa to
pass upon.--Albia Republican.

on the lawn, where the family had
been spending the quiet, pleasant
afternoon, and as five o'clock drew
near, the hour for the marriage, the

out OF doors, an ideal setting for so
sacred a rite. She looked lovely in

man to whom she had plighted her
troth a sWeeter, fairer picture could

visit. Gretchen has spent the most of
her life in our midst, graduate of

School of Engraving in Chicago a
year and then entering the State
University at Iowa City for full col

ance at college she met Prof. Sieg
and the pretty romance which has so
happily eliminated in the recent
marriage, was begun.
Prof. Sieg is but slightly, though
favorably known here, as fine
young man of sterling worth and in

wishes of a large circle of friends
here, for happy prosperous future

The New Parcel Post Rates.

The impression prevails more or
less generally that the increase in
the limit of weight Of parcels of
fourthclass mail from eleven to
twenty pounds applies to parcels
mailed to any part of the country.
This is a mistake. The increase is
operative within the first and second
zones only.
Under the new regulation which
went into effect on the 18th inst. the
rate of postage on parcels exceeding
four ounces in weight is cents for
the first pound and l cent for each
additional two pounds or fraction
thereof when intended for local de-
livery, and cents for the first pound
and l cent for each additional pound
or Erection thereof when intended
for delivery at other offices within
the first and second zones. The
