The doctors who acted adversely on

Members present at the meeting

said that he had made.

sands Of tubercular patients focked
to this city from every part Of the
United States. Many had only enough
to pay their way here, but, buoyed up
with that wonderful hope that IL al
ways u part Of the dread disease, they
came here certain that they would be
cured.
The inevitable result has been suf-
fering that has simply appalled, those
who have known Of 1t. Many OF the
sufferers are In the last stages Of
the disease. They are OF the type
that DR.. Friedman has admitted he
can do little for. But they have rush.

tuned the clerks and attendants there
to let them see Friedman. They
have been turned away. Some came
from the dry air OF the Adirondack,
others from far OF Arizona, and New
Mexico, and the change to the cold
weather Of this city has aggravated
their complaint.
DIR. Friedman has made 1t plain
that he IL, not responsible for this

checked by the red tape OF the med

HOME RULE BILL
ON FOR THURSDAY
Special Order of Business Select
ed After Mayor Marx and
Other DetrOiters Speak
From a stag Correspondent.

LANSING. Mich. March "A much
mutillated copy OF the Verdier home
rule bill was reported to the house
Tuesday afternoon. by the committee
on city corporations with the recon
mendation that IL be passed al
amended, and was placed on specia
order for 10 o'clock. Thursday morn
ing.
After listening TO the testimony OF
Mayor Marx. Aid. Vernon. Water Com
missioner Gillespie. Judge Jeffries
and G.. w. Moore emphasize the needs
OF Detroit for immediate relief, the
committee was practically unanimous
ly agreed that some measure should
be enacted as soon as possible to
meet the situation, but a majority OF
its members fatty refused TO approve
the verdier bill as II came from the
senate.
Following the hearing, the commit.
tee obtained leave from the morning
session OF the house To deliberate
further, and Rep. Hollway Sproat, OF
Grand Rapids, and Fitzgerald. OF Kal'
amazoo, Immediately commenced an
onslaught on the bill Offering amend.
ment after amendment, many OF
which were adopted. The vote to au.
thorize an increase OF Indebtedness
was raised from three-f1gths to two.
thirds, and the provision to allow a
change once year stricken out.
A typewritten-page amendment,
proposed by w. X. Clute, Of Grand
Rapids, was made 10 insure the right
OF cities 10 construct their own plants
as well as buy them
Ii was proposed 10 require a three
fourths' vote before any municipality
should take over given public util-
ity, but that failed TO carry. Upon
the insistence of Rep. Sproat. the sec
ton with regard TO the ultimate pay
ment OF the whole cost of any plant
out of the earnings thereof was re-
vised to read that stipulated per
cent OF the gross receipts should be
set aside TO retire mortgage bonds
as they may become due.
The original form of this item was
borrowed from European charters
and Is not In use In this country. Rep.
Sproat argued II would work against
the passage of the bill II not make
II questionable in the courts.
Rep. Palmer, who is chairman OF
the committee, inclined to the opin-
ION that the changes do not hurt the
act.

Self Sacrifice and ThankruIness
There were other board meetings
about year ago, to study church
problems, among the Methodists,
there was CONSERVATION over the
wretched condition of the parsonage.
It seemed clear that something ought
to be done to relieve the situation,
and matters were under considera-
ton when the collapse of the Baptist
church settled the question at one
stroke, and any money that was about
to be donated for a parsonage, was
withheld for the more urgent call up
the street.
Parsonage has scarcely been men
toned out loud since, but conditions
of a year ago have probably not i'm
proved in the twelve months, and ii
there have been sacrifices on account
of them, they have not been heralded
from the house tops.

GIVE THANKS In IDAHO

Idaho has much to be thankful
for this year, more, perhaps than in
any other year in its history. A
good season, good crops undisturbed
Industries and freedom from any
great calamities ought to bring SIN
eere and very general Thanksgiving
next Thursday.
New England has had much drouth
the states lying southwark from the
Great Lakes have had the extreme
foods and drouth, the middle west
has suffered and still suffers from
lack of rains, the lower Mississippi
states have had their foods and Cal
ifornia is just recovering from the
loss by frost of a full years growth
of citrus fruits, but Idaho with her
even climate and combination of ia
vorable conditions this year, finds
her granaries and storehouses full
to overlooking. Great quantities OF
produce are stacked by loading sta
tons awaiting the arrival of cars,
and trainloads have been gliding awa'
for months to fill the demand in less
favored states where they have come
to depend upon Idaho for certain
supplies. The yield in all crops has
been good, prices are above the av-
erage, and the average farm and
ranch is lifting the mortgage or plac-
ing funds in bank to check against
for future needs.
The range is yielding very crafty
ing results from flocks and herds and
prices are so good the stockman hes
tates about selling, because all the
buyers offer such magnificent prices.
The out put of the mines has been
generous, and mining industries are
heavy consumers of products of farm
and range and orchard. All the in
dustries have enjoyed smooth sailing
during 1913; no strikes, calamities
or serious accidents have been charge
able to the year in the Gem State.
Settlement, improvement, home
building, expansion of fields and bust
ness enterprises, these are the things
to be seen everywhere, and president
and governor have set aside Thurs
day the 9th as a day of thanksgiv-
ing, and wen can Idahoans pause and
observe the day. ......, s....

the divorce and still he accepted the
situation without protest or express
sion of regret, and she quit her pc
culiar wooeing.
Last March Mr.. Farrell married a
lady in Weiser, and when the other
woman heard of the, marriage she
wrote him and explained the foolish
couse she had aiken to test his love
for her. He was so shocked at his
position, innocent though he was, that
he contemplated suicide but thought
better of 1t and left his clothes on the
river bank to make people think he
had been drowned, and left the coun-
try in another set of ".togs." Peo-
pie dragged the river for his body
and then mourned him dead. Time
healed the shock he felt at finding
himself in the position Of a violator
Of the law, and he returned and
sought to untangle the middle.
Men who helped drag the river for
his body were mad at him, and caus-
ed prosecution to be instituted for
revenge. The first wife came and
tried to save him, and the jury hung.
A second trial several months later
en1ed the same way, and in the mean
time the whole matter was explained
and the court granted Farrell and the
first wife divorce, and this left him
and the second woman free to marry
again, which they were ready to do
but the prosecuting attorney, know
him into third trial, and again the
jury disagreed.

ing the history of the case, forced
represented in Canyon county by
prosecuting attorney whose intelli-
gence is just about equal to that OF
the surgeon who pronounces the sur
gical operation a success even though
the patient dies on the operating
table.
He is prosecuting a man for being
married to two women at one time,
but the man was a victim of mis-
take, and because he did not 60 to
look at the record for himself he
made second marriage when the
first one had not been annulled as he
thought it had been, and as the first
wife had assured him it was.
These are the circumstances: J.
K. Farrell married in Denver six
years ago, and the marriage was a
failure. Both parties recognized the
fact, and they gave up living togeth-
or. She went to Oregon, and finally
wrote him about dividing up their
property, and it was done to their
mutual satisfaction. By that time
the man had located in Weiser, Idaho
and she repented of their folly in
separating, and wrote to him saying
she was thinking of applying for a
divorce. This was ruse to see If
he would object and put in plea for
re-establishing their home together.
He took her at her word, supposing
she meant what she said and did not
revive their 1--we affairs. Later. she
wrote aim that she had been granted

II the above statement Is q correct
history of the unfortunate circum-
stances. the case should have been
dismissed a soon as the matter was
understood. None of the three par
ties intended doing any wrong, all
OF them were anxious to conform to
law and custom, and the man, though
foolish in his trouble, seemed most
shocked and hurt when he found how
he had been deceived.
The law was written to provide
punishment for those who willfully
violate form or custom, and not to
torture well-disposed persons who
may be the object of somebody's
wrath or spitework. In this instance
the man who is being prosecuted,
seems to have acted the honorable
part throughout, wronged nobody I'M
less it was the folks who hunted for
MS body, held the high esteem of both
women, and was at all times loyal to
The one appearing to be his wife. Even
after the marriage was dissolved in
an attempt to set the matter right,
the prosecuting attorney drags them
again into court to fight for liberty
when vindication ought to be accord
ed them.
This Is not case of too much
law, but a lack of horse sense on the
the part Of the state and IL Farrell
does not become an anarchist it will
be because he has an unusual amount
OF Christian fortitude and sweetness
Of disposition.
