BABY STUART WITHDRAWS.

The announcement made last week
in these columns by the Current
Event club, that they had entered a
baby in the contest, brought forth
such hearty support and such a
storm of criticism that the club was
pleased to withdraw their candidate.
We say pleased" because of the
heavy vote that came to Baby Stuart
in response to our appeal on behalf
of the club; and we we're not lit
tie amused at the storm raised In
other quarters at the prospect Of the
prize going to the club. They still
feel that they were entitled to get in
to the race and to win IL they could,
but this organization Is not given to
creating disturbances and discord and
when the situation was convassed at
a meeting the first of the week, the
name of Baby Stuart was promptly
stricken from the list Of contestants,
and the votes that were available for
that candidate were scattered to the
four winds in the utmost good nature
Two surprises came up in the meet
ings; one that made considerable
merriment, and the other calling for
some careful thought to save an In
jured supporter from undeseryed en-
barrassment. When they went into the
contest there was no thought Of any
thing but the cash prize to apply on
the payment of the piano. But some
body in an unsigned letter raised the
question of necklace and who
would it go to. Each lady felt that
she might be accused of wanting the
necklace herself and the effort to
block such suspicion was general.
The other matter was the undeserved
criticism of the newspaper that pub
lished the club announcement. Before
the announcement was made, MT.
Trego was asked If he would let the
club have half column II they
would prepare the matter and he
promptly granted the request. The
club communication was not signed
and it left the impression that the
Idaho Republican was espousing the
cause of the club baby against all
the others. The club wishes to ac-
knowledge its short coming in that
matter and to commend the publisher
for letting them have exactly what
they asked for. Psyche Craig, Sec.

sneaking into the meat markets to
get some good old bologne and others
will ring the butcher to tell what a
big steak they want sent down to the
house so there will be something
doing around the cook stove, and
please Mr.. Butcher be sure to have it
there little early.
Some fellows who have not eaten
a hearty breakfast since they can
remember, are going to find that
dragging rake through the grass
is making them feel just like they
did when they were little and went
swiping cookies. An orange or so
may keep such fellows from collap-
sing and they will respond for early
dinner. A heavy draft on the fruit
store will make it necessary for the
fruit dealer to have one salesman on
the job.
For couple of days after the
cleanup, every housewife whose hus-
band is doing inside work, will find
that she has to cook lot more than
usual for hubby will have lost his
appetite and found the appetite of a
hog.
Real estate dealers will find that
property which did not look good to
purchasers before will command at
tention, and sales will be easier.
Every man will feel an added inter-
est and pride in his door yard, and
his wife will have new ideas about
what she lets him store in the back
yard. Every thoughtful cook will lay
in supply of goods next Thursday so
she can keep the energies of mere
man up to the digging point, for be-
hold it is her day Of satisfaction to
be followed by a year of glory.
Presto! What change. Let 1t be
great and let it be lasting!

DOMESTIC SCIENCE DINNER.

On Monday evening the domestic
science class at the High School gave
a dinner to the members of the
school board and the press of
Blackfoot at which they demonstra-
ted their ability to put into practi-
cal use the teachings of the class
room. The menu was printed on the
printing press in the commercial de-
partment of the school, and attach
ed to 1t was a statement of the cost
of each item in the dinner.
The party sat down to dinner at
seven o'clock in the little dining
room adjoining the kitchen which is
in the basement Of the building. The
personnel of the party present was
R. N. West, president of the school
board, R. L. Archer, clerk, c. v.
Fisher, treasurer. J. H. Early and
e. A. Doud, Miss Rita Shellenber-
ger teacher of domestic science, the
editor of the Republican, and one va
cant chair intended for X. p.
Brown, editor Of the Optimist, who
was out of town and was unable to
be present.
The members of the class who
were delegated to prepare the meal
we're Mildred Clark, Ruth Bales,
Mary Capps, Amy Welch, Hazel Pro-
use and Pearl and Ethel Cherring-
ton.
The meal consisted of four cour-
ces and the materials for 1t cost a
fraction over 46 cents per plate as
shown by the list given below.
Everything was dainty prepared and
was delicious. 1t will be observed
that the problem Of cooking is not
the only one entering into the pre-
paration of a meal when the ''cost
of living" is considered, for although
a girl may be able to cook things
and have them good to eat, IL she is
to have six persons at table to-day
four tomorrow and seven the next
time there comes the problem of
proportions to be dealt with and the
question of fractional parts runs all
| through from soup to desert. Again,
If one girl goes to housekeeping
whose husband receives salary OF
sixty dollars a month, and her as
sociates have each 500 a month to
draw upon, she must adapt herself
to the conditions by the diligent use
of sharp pencil to prevent waste
or want or bankruptcy.
The girl who masters the art OF
making biscuits for five persons by
the use of two cups of flour and five
teaspoonsful of baking powder has
guess coming as to the amount Of
baking powder to use II she is pre-
pairing a meal for two or for eight
and If she has neglected her arith
metic she has to do some guessing OF
some demonstrating or risk getting
the wrong results in the biscuits
The girl who thinks she can success
fully conduct a home of her owr
under the conditions that surround
the housekeeper with prices con
stantly advancing, and not stud,
systematically to climate waste ant

WILL "CAN" THE BOSS.

The editor of this paper has been
about half way over on. the sick list
for week. He wants to beat every
body else to the office in the morning
and unpack some freight and finish
up some odds and ends after the rest
of the help leaves in the evening
Then he wonders why he gets tired
some days, and IL he takes hard
cold he thinks it's strange that he
has to lay off and take care of him
self like an old grannie.
If the boss doesn't tone down to a
reasonable gait he Is going to get
canned"

100 OR 10 MINERS
DIE IN EXPLOSION
MINE NEAR PITTSBURG WRECKED
AND IN FLAMES.
70 BODIES ARE RECOVERED
Rescued Men Can Give No Details and
Say Mine Is Filled With Dead
Explosion Occurred 5000 Feet
From Mouth of Mine

Pittsburg-The lives of 100 miners,
possibly 1870, paid the toll Of a disas-
trous explosion in the Cincinnati mine
of the Monongahela River Consolidated
Coal and Coke Company at Finleyvillc,
Pa Over three score of workmen in
the mine made thrilling escapes, crawl
ing most of the time on their hands and
knees through deadly gas fumes and
over debris.
Up to II O'Clock seventy bodies of vic
Tins had been recovered. The bodies
were located by rescuing squads Of the
United States Bureau of Mines, the
Monongahela River Consolidated Coal
and Coke Company and of the Pitts
burg Coal Company.
As the rescuers found bodies they
were carried to the entries. None of
the bodies, however, was brought to the
open.
Rescue work is hampered by after.
damp. Fire which followed the explo-
sion has been completely subdued, it is
said.
The coal company maintains rescue
corps patterned after the mine force of
the United States government. Aid from
the federal mining experts, it is said,
was declined by the coal company.
Only few of the miners who reached
the surface could talk. Suffering from
burns or fright, the miners only knew
that an explosion had occurred and that
a large number of men were either
killed by explosion or asphyxiated by
the "after-damp."
Several hours after the explosion
seven foreign miners crawled from one
of the entrances of the mine. all were
seriously burned. They could give no
connected account of conditions in the
mine. They all said the mime is full
of dead people"

Child Rises From Coffin.

Butte, Cal-While members Of the
family and relatives were grouped
about the open coffin Of Mrs. j. R. Bur
ney's 3-year-old son, listening to the
funeral service, the body moved, and
presently the child, clad in its shroud,
sat up and gazed about the room. His
eyes caught those Of his grandmother,
Mrs. L. H. Smith, 81 years old. The
aged woman stared at the child as If
hypnotixed. Then she sank back into
chair, dead. The child also died.

Illinois Senator Tells Head Of Spring
field Corporation He Is Disgrace to
State and Company Should
Be Driven Out.

Springfield, IlL--After a session OF
the senate white slave" commission,
Lieut.-Goy. 0'Hara sent a telegram to
President Wilson and another to Lieut..
Gov. Paynter of Missouri, calling their
attention to the disclosures made here.
The telegram to President Wilson read:
"At a hearing Of the Illinois senate
vice commission here, it appeared that
the conditions surrounding the employ.
ment Of girls at the Springfield factory
of the International Shoe Company APP
parently were the most open to criti-
eism of any 50 far discovered by this
commission. The revelations were so
astounding that Senator Neils JuuL a
Republican, and the dean Of our state
senate, openly and bitterly denounced
this corporation
"As | have been informed that this
corporation is supporting lobby at
Washington in opposition to your pro-
posed tariff laws on the grounds that
if certain duties are removed the girl
workers in their factories will be
brought into competition with the cheap
labor Of Europe, l believe your atten-
ton should be called to the testimony
given here"
Lieut.. Gov. O'Hara's telegram to the
acknowledgement of Missouri was as
follows:
cat a meeting of the Illinois senate
vice commission it developed that the
girls employed in Springfield factory
Of the international Shoe Company are
the victims of the worst industrial con-
ditions that have yet come before this
commission. Mr. Derby, the superin-
tendent of the Springfield factory, stated
under oath that the International Shoe
Company is $25,OOo,O 900 corporation
and that its executive officers are resi-
dents of Missouri.
"On behalf of Senators JUL, Tossey,
Woodland and Beall, as well as Of my
self, constituting the full membership Of
our commission, | respectfully invite the
cooperation Of your Missouri senate
vice commission in a thorough and COM
pete investigation of the methods Of
this corporation"
After the head of the corporation had
offered some testimony he was told by
Senator JUL that he was disgrace to
his state and his concern should ne
driven out.

FiREMEN GRANTED INCREASE
Arbitration Board Gives Decision Under
Erdman Act.

New York. Eastern railroad fremen
are granted an increase of pay esti-
mated at from 10 to IL per cent by
the award of the Erdman act arbitra-
ton board in their case. Other claims
of the fremen are allowed, but the de-
mand for two fremen on large locomo-
tives is denied, except in case of neces-
sity. Another request for which the
fremen fought-namely, the standard
ization Of wages, based on the weight
of locomotives on drivers-was granted,
although the award provides that all
wages that were higher or conditions
that were better than fixed in the award
shall not be interfered with. This pro-
vision affects a number Of railroads.
The fremen were also relieved Of the
duty Of cleaning engines.
