Of a Judgment delivered here by Mr.
Justice Simmons in an appeal from a
conviction entered recently at Edmon

charged anything-no one was asked
TO pay or contribute anything a plate
was placed on a stand near the en-
trance on which people entering were
expected to place a contribution and
most of the people entering did so.
"By virtue Of an implied understand

the part Of the patron to pay for the
entertainment. No legal obligation,
however, was called into existence.

POEM PLAY NAME
; Of WALTERS WOLF
BEAUTIFUL DRAMA IN SHSHONE
OCTOBER 80, AT
BAUGH'S.

Eugene Walters play THE Wolf, -
which comes to the Baugh on October
80, might be called a poem play or
pictures. II is very seldom that Cne
sees a play that grips the interest
and piques the curiosity with its first
line. THE Wolf does that. The
curtain rises upon a beautiful scene, it
is Indian summer in the Northern
woods. Pines and golden foliage
mingle their light and shade. A
stream winds down the avenues or
cottonwoods and in the back ground
are the blue foot hills. To the right is
the log house of MacTavish with
great tree in front of it. Under the
tree sits Ba'tiste, the Canuek putting
at his pipe. In the pOrchway is the
gaunt form of MacTavish, he. too, IS
smoking. The two men puff in sill snce
for a moment, while the auditor .aNes
in the perfect cOloring perspective and
grouping of the scene. Then Mac
lavish says, You say she died, mon?"
This is one of Eugene Walters
strong points-begins his story with
the opening lines He wastes no time
in unnecessary conversation, and he
sticks TO the point from curtain to
curtain.
Another of these pretty picture ef-
fects is in act three. Two men are
squatting in the foreground, standing.
is the tall. 1.-the graceful figure of
Jules Beaubien. Hilda appears at the
top of the trail carrying the canoe
paddle. She stands there an instant
holding the paddle like a spear, framed
in the dark pine and golden LEAKAGE
color; with the sunset reddening
ominously about her. With almost ex-
poets TO hear the wild cry of the
Valkyrie. A little later come the
great and intense scene of the play
which is without doubt one Of the
most novel and gripping scenes ever
taged.

WIFE AND THEN HiMSELF

BOISE. Oct. ga double tragedy
murder and suicide-was enacted
in this city at 10 o'clock vest day
at the intersection of the alley be-
tween State and Washington streets,
and Tenth, opposite the First Meth
odist church, when Glenn E. Wardell,
a prominent young rancher of Palmer
station, in the Boise valley, shot and
killed his wife sending two bullets
into her body from a .3S-caliber re-
volver and then, turning the weapon
on himself, bored a hole through his
heart causing instant death. His wife
survived him but a few minutes and
never gained consciousness. She died
while being rushed to a hospital, death
taking place while the dead body of
the husband was being transferred
from the ambulance to the undertake
ing parlors of Schreiber & Sidenfaden
Mrs. Wardell was struck with two
bullets. the first coming from be, lind
striking her in the neck and severing
her jugular vein, fatal in itself, and
the second passing through the groin.
Temporary insanity is assigned as the
cause.
The tragedy is one of the most
shocking in the history of Boise. |
Wardell was but % years of age. His |
girl wife was but q years old. Both |
were held in high esteem, widely |
known and popular.
There is no reason assigned for the /
crime that would indicate it hsI been |
premeditated. The young couple had /
had no differences so far as is known. /
There had been no duarrels. Their /
nearest relatives are at loss 10 m
derstand what could have prompted /
young Wardell TO commit so terrible
a deed.

ONE GOOD WAY
To START LIBRARY
LsDlEs OF S.ioSsfCNE FORMED
A CLUB AND BUY STANDARD
BOOKS AT REDUCTION.

The undertaking of organizing a
circulating library for Shoshone has
I been found by a lady of Shoshone not
to be difficult, for she has sta rted
the library with AZ volumes as the
nucleus, each book representing a
purchaser and owner in the member
ship. While the books selected are
by standard authors and constitute
the best current fiction for the most
part there are standard work of per-
manent value in the list.
Here are the books:
The same thing very well may be
undertaken by any number of per-
sons in any community. The books
are to be retained by the several own
ers after they have gone the rounds
of the readers in the club. There
is no limit to the number of mem
bers. Generally a member takes ons
week to read a volume and tuen
passes it along.
Bought in this way the books are
obtained at a considerable reduction
in price, possibly as much as 25 per
cent. Thus in this case the mem bers
fo,' less cost than the ordinary price
of one book may enjoy the reading
of 41 other books, besides owning a
book as private property

Why THE TOWN SHOULD
PURCHASE WATER WORKS

OF all public utilities the water
works system is the t,ue, by al means,
the city should own, as it gives them
absolute control over their water sup
ply. In former years it was the gem
eral custom for the city or town 20
grant franchise for supplying the
city or town with water but in recent
years this custom has been done
away with, and in nine out of ten
cases where new water works are be-
ing installed, they are municipal plants.
For some time past there has been
more or less contention with the wa
ter company in regard to purifying
the water supply. and up to the pres
ent time the company has taken no
action along this line, and from pres
ent indications. it does not seem as
though we can get our water supply
purified without entering into litiga-
tion with the company. If this be
the case, this litigation will cost the
town of Shoshone a considerable sum,
and it might possibly be that the town
would have to put in the filtration
plant instead of the company, as the
water company takes the stand that
they are merely pumping the water
which is furnished under the city's
water right
In case the company should be forced
to put in a filtration plant, there is no
doubt but what the Public UtiHties
Commission would consent to an in
crease I'm water rates to the consumer
especially so in view Of the fact that
the company would have TO furnish
filtered water for Irrigation and
sprinlIing purposes, and in order to
eet q reasonable rate for water used
for this purpose, the rates would prob
ably be so high that a great many
people could not afford to lse the
water for irrigation and sprinkiing.
The water company has offered 10
sell the water works to the city for
S12. 1000 which amount is to be paid
in monthly installments of so per cent
of the gross monthly revenues of the
plant, and 6 per cent interest on the
deferred payments The revenue of
the plant will average something over
$500 per month, anc upon this basis |
the city would have the plant paid for
in less than three years.
The original cost of the plant was
$4,000. The present
value of the plant is approximately
as follows:

Shall the town OF Shoshone own and
operate its water system?
That is the question which the town
fathers want to find out by calling for
vote next Tuesday-whether the
voters want them to buy the present
water plant. 1t is said that advantag-
eous terms for the purchase of the
plant have been offered by the Great
Shoshone and Twin Falls Water Power
Company. as fully Set forth in the
Journal heretofore; that is to say the
purchase may be effected at $4,000
to be paid for at the rate of 60 per
cent of the gross receipts, with inter-
est at the rate Of per cent on the
deferred payments Tt is stated also
that the plant may be acquired n
sIl 0oo
The election on this Important ques-
tion win take place next Tuesday. It
brings muuiet )al ownership right to
the front Aio let it be hoped, the
era If better water is nearer at hand.
