Joyous Home Coming.
Father and Son Clasp Hands After
Being Parted 20 Years.

Parted for more than 20 years dur
ing which time father and son had not
seen each other, Nils Peterson, the
we'll known Moscow plumber, receiv-
ed a Joyous surprise when his son
Arthur E. Peterson of Aberdeen 5. D.
stepped into his shop on Washington
street and greeted him almost as a
stranger.
Leaving his small son, lad of 13
years, in the east, he little dreamed
that the golden haired youth left be-
hind had grown to the strong, healthy,
fiaxon-haired man that htood before
him. 1t was after several moments
conversation between the two, when
it became necessary for the son to ad-
wise him of his identity, that he finally
distinguished a resemblance and the
aged man was overcome in his greet
ing.
Arthur Peterson is prosperous
young man, having been employed by
the Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul
railroad as an engineer on its passen-
ger trains in the South Dakota divi-
sion. He said that he had worked so
long and steadily that he had not real
lied the fieeting of the years and when
granted his vacation this year decided
on a visit with his father.
Mr.. Peterson declared today that
South Dakota was rich country,
abundant in it's grain crops, but that
after a sight of the rich growing crops,
of this section that it was an amazing
revelation to him.
Mr. Peterson was the guest of Pres
ident H Melgard, of the first Trust
and Savings company, in viewing the
beauties of the city this morning.
Yesterday Mr.. Peterson accompanied
his father to Lewiston where he will
visit a younger brother whom he has
not seen since childhood.

FIRE BURNING AT
QUINCY, ILLINOIS
BEYOND CONTROL-ENTIRE BUSI-
NESS SECTION IN DANGER OF
DESTRUCTION.
Horses Burn in Barn and Refuse to
be Saved-Appeal Sent Out for
More Equipment

QUINCY, ILL.,, Aug. 22.-Fire is
Quincys business district this after
threatening the destruction of QuincyS
business district this afternoon.
A block in the heart of the retail
business district is in ruins and the
entire fire department is battling the
flames, but the fire is gaining head
way rapidly and it is feared the loss
will be heavy to the city.
The fire started in a livery stable
which was. totally destroyed and %
horses were burned alive Every eff
fort was made to turn the horses
loose but the known custom that a
horse will rush into fire rather
than away from one made it difficult
to save them.
The mayor has appealed to outside
cities for aid and unless the flames
are checked fire engines and equip
ments stand ready at several points
to be loaded on special trains to be
sent to the city. The fire is one of
the worst here in years.
Thus far there has been no loss of
life recorded but many narrow es-
capes have occurred.

Powder.

Dr. w. L. Carlyle, acting president
of the university, will drive to Sand
point in his car tomorrow to inspect
the work that has been commenced

about Is acres and reports that the
work is progressing nicely.
While DR.. Carlyle is at Standpoint
he will witness a number of dem

local concern of that city. The firm
has donated 300 pounds of powder to
the university for use in clearing the

MIXED THINGS UP
CITY ENRICHED
LOCAL CELEBRITIES ENGAGE IN
FISTIC ALTERATION
JUGGED.
Both Plead Guilty, Pay Fines, and
Think Their Honor Has Been
Yindicated.

AS the result of an argument which
passed unsettled at the Pastlme res
taurant yesterday morning Joe Rokke
the Pastime cook and Bill" Hum
phrey, the barber, met again last eve
ming to adjust their difference in man
ner that was not conducive to the
peace and quiet of the community and
were taken in hand by Chief of Po-
lice Grant Robbins and arraigned be-
fore Judge Strong in the police
court Both men plead not guilty and
their hearing was set for 2 oclocl-
this afternoon.
This morning, however, Humphrey
arrived at the conclusion that change
in plea would be easier than hear
ing in police court and accordingly
entered a plea of guilty and paid his
fine of SO and costs amounting in all to
$8
Rokke, on the other hand, appar-
emily doubling that he had been per-
mitted by the big chief to get his
worth refused to change his
plea and stood trial. He felt the
hand of the law, nevertheless, to no
less extent than did his co-combatant
and paid $40 for his few moments
fistic mediation.
Both men can well be thankful that
they were not caught rolling marbles
at a crack in the sidewalk. In such
case they might have got off with
like 5000 or long Jail SEN
tence. Such cases have been record
ed, it is said

Explains the Charge.

In explaining this charge Superin-
tendent Otis Randall said, Perhaps
this is not the most expedient way
in which to equalize matters and do
justice to the tax payers Of this dis
trict who support the Moscow schools,
but it will at least result in more
Justice to this district than the for
mer system through which students
from the outside could attend the, Mos.
COW schools for an amount thatM'was
merely nominal in comparison to the
cost of maintaining instructors and
equipment for their educstion."
The tuition that will be collected
this year from outside students
through a charge of So per month per
student and through the transfer OF
school funds from other districts will
amount to about SO per month and is
calculated merely to cover a little
more nearly the actual cost per capita
to the school.

THE WILD DUCK SEASON
Hunting of the Game Will be Legal
in Idaho September 1st.

Moscow duck hunters are taking
their shotguns down, shining them
up and are busting their leggins OF
preparatory for the opening Of the
wild duck season, on September 1st.
1t may be of interest to hunters OF
ducks to know that the man who
shoots at the birds before sunrise on
that morning is liable to arrest and
prosecution for violating the federal
law relating to migratory birds. And
the hunter who fails to stop shooting
at sunset will also be liable to ar
rest.
The federal law provides that dur
ing the open season, which it per-
mits the states themselves to fix, wild
fowls shall not be hunted before sun
rise or after sunset.

Makes Good Buy.

Mr. Cornwall, whose firm negotiated
the sale, stated this morning that land
of much pooror quality and location
has been selling right along at from
500 to $135 per acre. Mr.. O'Conner is
jubilant over his purchase and will
move his family here from Kansas to
take possession of the farm about the
first Of October. He comes from sec
ton of Kansas that has been sizzling
for the past two months and is enthus
iastic over the climatic conditions of
the Palouse country and the crop out
look particularly in the vicinity of
Moscow.
Mr.. O'Conner is the first one of the
2S immigrants from Kansas, who ar
rived here several weeks ago, to pur-
chase land. The others in the party,
however, expect to locate in this vi
cinity if they can find land that is on
the market.

KANSAS MAN
BUYS LAND
BIG DEAL FOR CHOICE PROPERTY
HAS JUST BEEN
CLOSED
Tract of 240 Acres Near the City Sold
at $S5 per Acre-Buyer Rej0ices
In His Bargain.

One of the best buys of land that has
been made in the entire Palouse coun-
try for several years was that of the
Josephine E. Smith farm half a mile
south of the city limits of Moscow a
few days ago when the entire tract
consisting of 240 acres passed to
George O'Conner of Zurich, Kansas at
$S5 per acre.
The entire Smith farm is under cul-
tivation and 200 acres of it are in oats
and wheat which promise an exception
ally good yield. One hundred and
sixty acres of the farm lie in an almost
level body. The land is of the choicest
quality for either grain or meadow and
its location makes it more desirable
perhaps than any other land that has
been on the market for some time in
this vicinity.

(For the United Press

SHERBROOKE, Aug. 22.-Assured
that the request of the state OF New
York for the extradition of Harry K.
Thaw. the escaped lunatic from Mat
teawan, will not be granted by the
Canadian authorities, George Carnegie,
Thaw's brother-in-law, is reported to
be arranging to send his yacht TO
Canadian waters to provide means
of taking the slayer of Stanford White
to Virginia There Thaw will have
the benefit of the court decisions in the
case of John Chaloner who lives un-
molested in Virginia, although he is
an escaped insane prisoner from
New York.
Thaw's Sherbrooke counsel, Attor-
ney Shurtcliffe, returned today from
Ottawa where he interviewed the
heads of the immigration service.
Shurtcliffe told Thaw fatty that he
would probably have to leave Canada,
but that he positively would not be
returned to New York state.
Whether Thaw will be rejected as
an undesirable allan and returned to
the United States over the same route
over which he entered, or be given 4S
hours to quit the country and allowed
to choose his own route, is yet un-
certain.
GIynn is Anxious.
ALBANY, Aug. 22.-Acting Cover
nor Glynn of New York has telegraph
ed the following message to the gov
ernor of Vermont:
II am informed the Canadian au-
thorities will deport Harry X. Thaw

Request that you have him appre-
hended Immediately and held await

WASHINGTON, Aug. 22.-Secretary
Of Labor Wilson telegraphed Acting

escaped from Matteawan insane as
ylum in New York last Sunday
He said: 81 am advised that steps |
have already been taken by the state |
department to bring the matter to the
attention of the Canadian government

to demand the extradition of Harry X.
Thaw and that he be turned ovor to

PRESIDENT DETERMINED
GETS SPLENDID SUPPORT
MEXICAN PRESIDENT CANNOT HOPE FOR SUP
PORT FROM REPUBLICAN PARTY.
BLOOD THICKER THAN WATER
Old Slogan Still Warm in the Hearts of Patriotic
Amercans-Wilson Writing Message For
Submission Monday

WASHINGTON, Aug. 22-It is be-
lieyed here now that the United States
will not discontinue its demands ON
Mexico for IA peaceful solution OF the
Mexican troubles until President HUI
erta has fulfilled his early promise
that he would resign and submit to
an election which will be the only
means of insuring the maintenance OF
IL constitutional government.
Officials in Washington are determ-
ined that President Wilson shall be
upheld in his demands and the spe-
cial message to congress which he is
now preparing is expected to give to
the world the attitude assumed by the
president in his desires for peace of
the sister nation.
Find No Partisanship.
The intimations yesterday that HUI
erta was depending on partisanship
politics in the United States to thwart
the efforts of the president has re-
suited in a quick response by prom
nent republican party leaders to up
hold any contention of the president
and which is designed to forcibly i'm
press on President Huerta that he
cannot hope to hide behind any such
simple excuse.
The administration denies that it
has made any unusual preparations
for armed invasion of Mexico. 1t has
been plainly stated that the president
is opposed to armed Intervention and
for that reason had sent John Lind
as a personal emissary to Mexico with
a hope of assuring Huerta of the
friendly attitude of the United States.
While the reply of Huerta is not con-
sidered here as a bluff in any sense
of the word, his bravado is regarded
only as unwise and i'll timed. 1t is eX
pected that the situation will not be-
come acute at this time and the eX-
pected message will probably clarity
the situation.
Gone Into SecIusiOn.
WASHINGTON, Aug 22.-President
Wilson shut himself in his study to-
day and began typewriting personally
the message he will send to congress
on the Mexican situation. The presi-
dent dislikes to dictate and will d.
all the document work himself
1t is believed the president will
make additional recommendations to
concerning the American at
titude and possibly a new Mexican
policy will be outlined. The message
will be the longest the president has
yet written.

WILL THE DEMOCRATS DO THIS.

Lowell. Ind, Jan. 10.
Editor TIMEs:--The Indianapolis
News says the association of county
assessors of Indiana will ask the Leg
islature to extend the time of present
holders of that office for two years
longer. The last session of the Indi-
ana legislature extended the time of
trustees of townships and County Com
missioners two years. If that is legal
and constitutional, why not apply the
rule to all county offices and save the
great expense of holding elections and
also the waste or money for campaign
expenses by unsuccessful candidates.
For many years a few men of each Of
the old political parties have chosen
those whom they wanted as candidates
for the various offices and we have
gone through a farce Of caucuses and
conventions to ratify the choice of the
few and most of US have voted at cleo
tions. for candidates selected. Many
time certain offices have been promis-
ed several years ahead. In one case it
is said for thirteen years. and he got
there.
For many years the Grange and
other organization of farmers nave ask
| ed that the practice of selecting L. S.
senators by state legislatures be
abandoned and the people be allowed
| to select them by elections. If it is
| constitutional and legal for legisla-
lures to extend the time of office hold
| ing of those already in office, why
| should not the same body select any or
all the office holders? For many years
| the Democratic party criticized the Re-
publican legislature for the high
| salaries VIII the Democrats now
1 holding a large majority in the legisla :
ture try to reduce some of the very
! high salaries? The payroll of county
! officers and their assistants is becom-
! ing a heavy burden on the taxpayers
| In some cases it looks as though the
| salaries are out of proportion to the
| amount of work done. 1 fully believe
| in reasonable compensation for time
and labor and responsibility of those
| who fill the offices but the taxpayers
are badly overburdened in many cases

THE VALUE OF SAVING.

Get into a building and loan ASSOC
citation, is some of the best advice
that could be given friend of ma
terial advancement. And now when
the year is young and resolutions are
still firm is the time to begin. Once
the start is made there is nothing that
is easier to keep up than a building
and loan payment.
Men who are prominent in the
affairs of the Calumet region today
say with pride and frankness that
they owe their success to a nest egg
that was laid in one or the other
building and loan associations.
A share in one of these mutual
savings banks costs twenty-five cents
a week. Ten shares in approximately
six years pay out one thousand dol
lars.
The advantages of having building
and loan stock are numerous. The
shareholder who has will power
enough to separate himself weekly
from a fraction of his savings, ac-
quires the habit of thrift and
economy, he saves for the future,
with definite end in view; he has a
weekly investment which pays him
Immediately from eight to ten per-
cent; he becomes financially re-
sponsible and his credit in the com
munity grows apace; he pays his
weekly or monthly installments into
the building and loan instead of pay
ing rent, and at the end of six year:
the home is his property.
There was a time when building
and loan stock was risky invest
ment. Scores of Lake county peopl,
still recall with bitterness how the,
were bilked out of their savings b,
investing in wild cat specu1ations ii
Chicago. Indiana profted by tn,
example, and placed on it's statut,
books laws which are considered
models for the entire country.
But the Lake County building an,
loans have even a better recon
mendation. Some of them have stoo,
the test for quarter of century o
nearly as long. The official person
mel is composed of men whose name
stand for integrity and honesty me-
whose every last dollar is invested il

MEDICAL FEES IN BYGONE TIMES

At the beginning of the eighteenth
century the usual fees to physicians
and surgeons in England were ito a
graduate in physick, his due is about
ten shillings, though he commonly
expects or demands twenty. Those
that are only licensed physicians,
their dues no more than six shillings
and eightpence. though they COM
monty demand ten shillings.
"A surgeons fee is twelve pence q
mile. be his journey near or far: ten
greats to set bone broke or out OF
joint land for letting blood one shill
ing; the cutting or amputation of any
limb is five pounds, but there is nc
settled fee for the cure"
The system OF regulating the fes
according to the pocket of the patient
is almost as old as history and wa.
embodied in the medical law o.
ancient Babylon.
Another principle which this Law
| embraced was much more drastic
than the Chinese system of mo cure

Furnishing the unsuccessful surgeon
