young man of 25. residing at Bor-
deauX, had the idea of committing
suicide at a banquet. to which he in
neunced his intention of putting an
end to his life, but it was not sup

He finally issued an invitation to
his friends to a banquet. which he
said would be his last and at the end
of which he would make his exit from
this world. They came and enjoyed
a plentiful supper, during which he
was very gay.
A revolver lay beside him on the
table. with which he said he was 60
ing to shoot himself at the end of
the supper He asked If any of them
had cartridges, because he had bought
the revolver only that afternoon and
had forgotten to get it loaded.
One of his friends, imagining that
he was only continuing joke, load

all stood up to drink his health for
the last time. AS soon as they had
done so, and before anyone could in

shot himself. He fell forward with
his face on the supper table and ex-

Hood capes dropping to the region
of the knees, Philadelphia society
women have William Penn's staid
city gasping over the warmest thing
they call it Bal Masque-ever held
here. 1t started last night in Horti-
cultural hall and continued today
with no sign of a letup. Only few
society women thought to wear dress
es. Those who did were regarded
with scorn. Some debutantes and
matrons wore what they called Eve
costumes. but it was reported some
of the masquers just brought along
fringes and tights. leaving the rest
of the costume at home.
Toward morning it is said the
revelry broke the previous records.
1t was limited that some of the dances
made the turkey trot' look like a

CITY WILL Be GIVEN OPPORTUNITY
TO SECURE FILING ON WATER SITE

Do the people of Pendeton want TO
secure, practically without cost, a
filing on a power site that may be
used to develop 5000 horse power on
the Walla Walla river? If they do
they will have an opportunity to Sc
cure such a boon for tonight pro-
position is TO be made the city coun-
Gil under which such a privilege may
be had.
Howard Evans of Milton has the
filing on the site and 1t is the same
site that was offered the city a year
ago and at which time the sum of
l$15,000 was asked for the right.
There is now second company
which has a filing on the river which
will become effective in the event the
Evans filing al allowed to lapse. The
parties holding the secondary films
estimate their right will be worth
$40, 900 should the Evans filing go by
default
1t is understood that this evening
Mr.. Evans will be here from Milton
and will offer to turn over his filing

DCINGS OF THE
STATE LEGISLATURE
Efforts to Elect a Senator are Fruit
less so Far.

Boise, Jan. %. The senatorial
fight for the short term, is now
on in earnest, and at present the
legislature is in a deadlock.
The election last week of
William E. Borah to the long
term was but carrying out the
wish of the electors at the pri-
maries last summer.
The balloting the first week
showed that there were but two
two candidates who had any
strength, and up to the present
time there has been very little
change in the vote cast.
The vote Monday for senator
stood: Ailshie "a, Brady 80, and
the rest scattering to the favorite
sons, or rtors properly speaking,
went to anybody to keep from an
election.
The fight has now come down
to the proposition of electing
Judge Ailshie or some south
Idaho man. At present Brady
can not muster enough votes, and
if the north will give it's support
to Ailshie he can be elected.
1t is to be hoped that the dead
lock will be broken this week,
for the legislature has plenty OF
hard work to do, and so far has
accomplished nothing.

snow.
The High Line road to Grange

and it is said that it will take at
least two weeks before it can be
used. All Of the equipment is

The stage road from Elk City

the road. No serious trouble is
anticipated in getting the mail ir
