OPPORTUNITY FOR SOUTHERN
IDAHO.

We reproduce an editorial
from the San Frisco Call that
reflects the sentiments Of the
California people with relat-
Ion to the proposed Boise
Winnemucca railroad.
California is very anxious
to get in direct touch with
Idaho. The business is worth
whiles 1t is of such import
ance that the leading men of
San Francisco have been glad
to cooperate with Idaho men
who have been making loves
legations and they will help
in every way within their
power.
The interest of California
is no more readily understood
than our own, as we are hem
med in, and are barred from
the shipping of produce to a
population that will enorm-
ously increase after the COM
pletlon ct the Panama canal,
except over a roundabout
route, there we could not be.
come beneficiaries of lower
freight rates on our imports
by reason of the canal,
that would be made possible
if we enjoyed direct connect
ION with San Francisco.
Look at it from any stand
point, il is Southern Idaho's

The Grocer's
Dream.

Last evening was talking
With grocer aged and grey,
Who told me OF dream he had
think twas Christmas day.
While snoozing in his Office,
The vision came to view,
Foa he saw an Angel enter,
Dressed ingarments white and new
Said the Angel, "Pm from Heaven,
The Lord just sent me down
To bring you up to glory
And put on your golden crown.
You've been friend to everyone,
And worked hard night and day.
You have supported many thousands,
And from few received your pay.
Sowe want you up in glory,
For you have labored hard,
And the good Lord is preparing
Your eternal, just reward"
Then the angel and the grocer
Started up towards glory's gate.
But when passing close to Hades,
The angel murmered wait!
have place to show YOU
It's the hottest place in hell
Where the ones who never paid you
In torment always dwell"
And, behold, the grocer saw there
His old customers by the score,
And grabbing up chair and fan,
He wished for nothing more;
But was bound to sit and watch them
AS they'd sizzle. SINCE and burn,
And his eyes would rest on debtors,
Whichever way they'd turn.
Said the Angel, Come on grocer,
There's the peally gates to see "
But the grocer only murmered,
This is heaven enough for me-

FRIENDS OF CLAYTON
ARE given HEARING
Senator Robinson Declares Alabama
Man Is Entitled to Seat in
the Senate.
TEXT OF AMENDMENT QUOTED

The Senate Committee on Privileges
and Elections gave a hearing last night
to the friends OF Representative Clayton
of Alabama, who came to defend Mr..
Clayton's title to a seat in the Senate
under the appointment by Gov. O'Neal.
Senator Robinson of Arkansas was the
principal speaker. His views on the sub
ject have been made public heretofore.
Senator Robinson rested the case OF
Mr.. Clayton on the last paragraph Of the
constitutional amendment, which reads
as follows:
This amendment shall not be so con-
strued as to affect the election or term
of any Senator chosen before 1t becomes
valid as part of the Constitution"
Senator Robinson insists that the
words the term in this paragraph
meant the entire siX-year term for which
Senator Johnston was chosen and whose
death created the vacancy. He argued
that this paragraph was put into the
amendment purposely to give the States
time in which TO pass the necessary laws
providing the machinery for holding di-
rect elections for Senators.
Senator Kenyon of Iowa had a sharp
debate with Senator Robinson, indicating
that Mr.. Kenyon, who is a member OF
the committee, did not agree with the
line Of argument advanced by Senator
Robinson.

ROCKVILLE Horse SHOW
DRAWS 5000 PERSONS
Prize Horseaesh of Maryland and Vir-
ginia Entered in Different
Events.
RUNNING RACES on CARD TODAY

Rockville. Nd, Aug. T.-Eight thou
sand persons witnessed the second days
program Of the Montgomery County Fair
here today. There was a big program.
which included the start OF the three
day horse show.
The first of a hundred classes in the
exhibition of horses were put through
their performances by the judges, who
were Mack Clagett. OF Berryville. Va
c. ]. Metz, of Manassas, Va; Percy
Evans, of Delaplane, Va, and Charles
R. Hough, OF Cockeysville, Md. All OF
the events are closely contested, and the
judges had TO make number of decisions
close enough to cause a riot at a baseball
game. Much OF the prize horsefiesh OF
Maryland and Virginia has been entered
in what has proved to be the most sue
cessful fair held here.
Today's program started with a caval-
cade OF stock around the field. This
event, which always has caused excep-
tional interest, brought the visitors 10
the scene until the track was Tired sew
cral deep with onlookers eager to see
all of the show at one time
Judges in the several departments are
working on inspection of exhibits, ami
mate and inanimate, as fast as possible
in consideration of the number Of en-
tries. Announcements of winners are
made as fast as a majority can be had
to agree on the merits Of the contestants.
Candidates for Office in country and
State have made temporary headquar-
ters here In such number that parts of
Rockville resemble side shows, with
barkers in their element. The candi-
dates, realizing the popularity Of the fai:
because of good weather. have come in
person to meet the people and tell them
Of the love they hope will be mutual.
There will be a continuation both OF
the cavslcade and the horse show to-
morrow. In addition to a number OF fea-
lures, there are to be six running races,
with excellent entries. John Couglar, OF
Baltimore, Nd, will start the horses in
the first race at 2:S0 o'clock. Motorcycle
races also are on the program. First.
there will be a three-mile race, and this
will be followed with a five-mile event.
AS the purses are attractive, all of the
races are expected to bring out leaders
among racers both Of horses and motor
cycles in this section of the country.
The figure mentioned for today's at
tendance was conservative. It is believed
by those in charge that probably 10.O0d
persons visited the fair. Provision has
been made for 1900 or 15,OOO persons. II
the weather continues good it is expected
this will be a low estimate.

STOLEN FROM STORE
Thief Takes Sample Cases from Bal
eony While Salesman Is Talking
to Owner of Establishment

Chicago. Aug. 1.-TWO sample cases
filled with unset diamonds and jewelry,
valued at s25.0o0. were stolen late today
from the Peacock jewelry store in State
Street The Jewels were brought TO the
store by Charls Anderson, OF Philadel-
phia, a salesman for the Philadelphia
jewelry firm OF W. w. Fulner & Co.
No clew to the Identity OF the thief has
been found tonight.
The police declare that a cleverer rob-
berry has not been committed here in
years. The very boldness Of the thief
made him succeed. they assert.
Anderson went to the store late today
and placed the two sample cases on a
balcony above the show cases. He then
conversed with several persons for about
twenty minutes.
When he went to the balcony to get
the cases they were gone.
Philadelphia, Aug. T.-Lewis W. Glib
bons, Junior member of w. W. Fulner
& Co., said the Jewels carried by Ander-
son were fully insured, and the firm will

CLEWS FAIL TO LEAD
TO SCHULTZ'S ARREST
Police, However, Feel Confident that
Alleged Assailant Of F. A. Reilly
Will Be Caught.

Although numerous clews have been
followed up, the police so far have
failed in their efforts to locate DetIef
H. Schultz, alleged to have seriously
wounded Francis A. Reilly. However
everything possible is being done to ap-
prehend him.
Maj. Richard Sylvester. superintendent
of police, feels confident the much
sought man will be captured. Police de-
partments throughout the near East and
South now have photographs of Schultz
and it is believed it is only a question
Of time before he is picked up.
Already the police department has re-
ceived tips from nearby cities that
men resembling the photograph sent out
have been seen. A number of suspects
naturally will be picked up, and in this
manner it is hoped Schultz will be ap-
pretended.
Reilly still is In a precarious condi-
tion at Casualty Hospital. While he is
showing some improvement, physicians
at the hospital say he is fighting against
great odds. Hope for his recoverey, of
course, is held out by attending surgeons
They, however. are frank in admitting
his chances are very slim.

GUARDSMEN GET
PAY TONIGHT
Efforts Of The Herald to
Learn Cause Of Delay
Are Successful.
MANY COMPLAINTS MADE
Mai. Boyd Taylor Announces that He
Will Expedite Matter Because
of Protests.

Efforts of The Herald to learn the
reason for delay in paying the National
Guardsmen for services at Camp Ordway
were successful last night when Maj.
Boyd Taylor, paymaster, announced that
ne would start paying the militiamen
tonight.
I shall pay the First Regiment men
tomorrow Thursday night" said Maj.
Taylor, "and the Second Regiment. First
Separate Battalion, Signal Corps, and
Hospital Corps Friday night.
The delay in making payments was
because We were awaiting a decision of
the Comptroller of the Treasury to see
if the accounts would be approved by
The Auditor.
Il had rot intended to pay before next
week, because the decision Of the Comp
troller will not be rendered before then.
In view of the number Of complaints
brought to my attention by The Herald.
l shall, in order TO relieve what seems
10 be acute financial stringency on the
part OF some of the guardsmen, advance
the pay day, even though ] shall have to
take responsibility for il.
i wish to say that the pay corps was
not responsible. You may judge of the
sort of kicks We receive when You
know that a guardsman asked me the
other day TO pay him at once so he could
put the money in bank before the first
and draw interest on it"
The complaints of guardsmen were
received in hundreds. Most of them
blamed for the delay Gen. George H.
Harries. commander of the National
Guard, to whom the pay rolls had to
sent at his Louisville, Ky, home. \
question of auditing the accounts OF
Mai. Taylor caused most of the delay
and had the paymaster not volunteered
upon hearing of the complaints
through The Herald to pay the guards
men before the decision of the Comp
troller relieved him of all responsible
ity. the pay day still would be a rosy
dream.

the girls refused. saying their flight
would kill their parents.
Tells of Ink I'm Cafe.
The prosecutor narrated the meeting Of
the four at the Peerless Restaurant on
Saturday, March 5, and the agreement
there TO go to Reno together.
Then the prosecutors story took up the
Sunday meeting in the Sacramento park.
when the girls again said they could not
go away, and how Diggs, aided by Cami-
netti, told them Of the approaching pub
lication of the scandal OF their relations.
and asserted that complaints were to be
made against all four in the Juvenile
Court, SO that all will be ruined, and the
only salvation was flight from Sacra-
mento and the State.
Beyond this, Diggs agreed to marry
Miss Warrington, and Caminetd prom
ised to make Miss Norris his wife.
Then came the story of the meeting at
the Saddle Rock Restaurant where 1t
was reported TO the girls that the father
Cf Diggs was to get out warrants for
the four and so the girls in fear went
to their homes after agreeing to fly. Miss
Warrington got some clothes, but Miss
Norris went with nothing to wear and
Witnesses Are Heard.
MIR. Sullivan then said there was a
second meeting at the Saddle Rock and
a missing Of the 1870 train because
Caminetti had not yet been able to raise
some money. He did raise $40 on his
pay as a clerk under the State Board Of
Control, and wrote his resignation as
such clerk at the same time.
The prosecutor promised to prove that
Caminetti promised to give Miss Norris
so with which to buy the tickets but
that Diggs insisted on being the leader
Of the party and as such bought the
tickets.
Then came the story of boarding the
after-midnight train and obtaining the
drawing room, Diggs paying IS for the
Pullman tickets. Following came the stay
at the Riverside Hotel in Reno; the rent
ing of the cottage there, and the occupa-
ton OF that cottage for three days by
Diggs and Miss Warrington as c. Enright
and wife, and by Caminetti and Miss
Norris as F. F. Ross and wife.
Finally came the shattering Of the
dream by the entrance upon the scene
Of Chief HilIhouse and Martin Beasley.

Caminetti:
1T is up to you girls whether or not
we go to the penitentiary. If you stay
with us, well stay with you"
