Entertainments
FOR MONTPELIER

Montpelier has enjoyed many
good intellectual treats this winter.
One of the most enjoyable were
the series of lectures delivered re-
Gently by the priests of the Catholic
missionary society. Whether one
agreed with the speakers conclusions
or not, everyone was impressed
with the magnificent manner IN
which the lecturers presented their
arguments. Large audiences greet
ed the Reverand gentlemen during
their stay.
Another series of lectures of a
somewhat humorous nature are he
ing given by the Rev. Wheeler Of
this city at the Methodist church.
The subjects have been on such
topics as have given Mr.. Wheeler q
chance to show his fine sense oi
humor, and his audiences have beer
well repaid for gong out to hea1
him.
Then we have had the Lyceun
course under the auspices of the pub
lie schools. These entertainment,
have indeed been of high char
acter aud the only regret is tha
more people did not turn out TO hea
them. There is yet more number
IN the course and they should b.
well patronized.

BalIoting for Senator.

Five ballots were taken for sena-
tor on Monday and ten Tuesday

taken, during which Brady got as
high as 80, three short of an elec-
,ion, while Ailshie fell as low as
10 but finally quit the day with ls.
Many '.dalk horses" were voted
for but none showed any particular
strength.

FARMERS INSTITUTE TO
BE HELD AT GEORGETOWN

Prof. Olin informs The Examiner
that q farmers institute will be
held at Georgetown within short
time lasting one day. He says that
If interest enough can he aroused
he will hold an institute for two
oays in Montpelier, following The
Georgetown date, and the Examiner
is of the opinion that oHr business
people should get together and
have this institute here for the time
mentioned. 1t would be of great
assistance to the farmers of BEN
nington, Marlboro, Dingle and
Thomas Fork, who have not been
able - get to the movable school
at Paris this week, or who could
not well attend the institute at
Georgetown. The city council
might take it up since our CONNER
cial club is IN no shape TO handle
the matter. These institutes are of
the greatest benefits to the farmers,
stockgrowers and dairymen and
this city cannot afford to let the
chance slip by of having this two
days session.
Since the above was put in type
we learn that an institute will be
held in Montpelier Oh March IA
and Is.

A NEAR VIEW OF
THE IDAHO LEGISLATURE
Many Bright Men IN Both Bodies -Appropria-
tions and County Divisions Galore.
Many Bills introduced

The writer was in Boise a few
days this week, taking in the d, :
ings incident to the work of the
legislature, and generally sizing up
til law m sking and senator making
A bodies. The senate and house con-
tain many able men, judging by ap-
pearanoes, and they also both have
as members, fellows who may te
successes in some walks of life, but
certainly do not impress one as be-
ing in the right pew in such an as
sembly as state Legislature. But
they are all there by the vote of the
''peepul, trying to look wise or
otherwise, as the case may be.
The principal work, SO far as we
could see, was the efforts being put
forth to elect senator, and up to
Monday this had proven hard
J question to solve. At that time
five ballots had been taken, but
neither Judge Ailshie or ex-Gov-
ernor Brady, the two highest, had
been able to muster over thirty five
votes and it takes forty two, be-
cause one of the legislators is sick
with smallpox and cannot attend
the sessions. Otherwise it would
take forty-three to elect a senator.
The number of ssworkers" for the
various senatorial candidates, far
out-number the law makers, and
they are indeed, very active in their
determination to elect their respec-
tive choices, or failing In that to
prevent the other fellow from get
ing majority of the votes.
Many members of the Legislature
seemed honestly in harmony with
Governor Haines' ideas about econ
omy, but with all the state institu,
lons asking for greater appropria-
tipns than ever, with county dIyi-
sion fights and with all SORTS of log
rolling, it looks as though little
will be done to carry ont the gov
ernor's schemes.

If there is anyone thing more
than another that shows commun-
ity's prosperity it Is the condition
of It's banking institutions and iu
this respect Montpelier can point
with pride to its two banks. Both
of these are justly considered among
the strongest in the state. They
each have immense cash holdings,
are presided over by men who have
the up-bnilding of the county at
heart, and who are ready at all
times to lend helping hand to any
worthy man or enterprise.
The strength Of these banks has
caused Montpelier to become the
banking center Of southeastern Ida
no, Northern Utah and Western
Wyoming, and their influence is
felt over goodly portion Of these
three states. Both are growing
rapidly and the coming year will
show large increase in their BUSH
ness.

Henry Siegel Asserts He Thinks
None of His Women EN-
ployees Have Fallen.

NEW YORK, March 13,-Henry Sic
gel, the department store keeper who is
an employer of over 5000 girls and
women, issued a statement today rela.
tive to the investigation regarding the
relations between vice and women's
wages. which is being conducted by an
investigating committee in Illinois, in
which he declared the law fixing a min
imum wage of SO week for women
would drive more women to the life Of
TIE streets than ever before
Compulsory advancement Of women's
wages, he declared, would lead en-
plOyers to hire more men and fewer
women, because men are of higher eff
fciency. The real solution of the prob
lem, he believes, is to increase the ef-
fciency of women employees.
He resented the imputation that sales
girls are as a class immoral, and said
he did not believe there is one immoral
person in all his army of girls and
women employees.

years should be the average age Of
man, according to DR.. Frank Ellsworth
Allard, a professor at the Boston Uni

explain, he said:
There are thousands of women-and
not a few men-whose health is being
Slapped by the habits of idleness and
gossip. These people are lazy mental
ly and physically, and their viewpoint
on life is purely personal and usually
petty. Laziness gives rise to sluggish
Iivers and unhealthy habits of intro
spection. which in turn breed neuras-

by the women, that sandal giving free
play to all the toes, and the foot OF
