NAMPA BOOSTERS
LOOP THE LOOP

The boosters Of Nampa, about zoo
strong, were in Caldwell Friday last,
boosting the Nampa harvest festival
which started Wednesday and will
finish in blaze Of glory tonight. The
delegation was headed by the band
and was accompanied by Mrs. Robert
Blakely, the charming queen of the
festival Acting as escort to the
queen were Charley Hickey, Otto c.
Reinhart, Josh James, Judge Hagelin
Frank Estabrook, Mcneil, Jenness
Christi, Blunck, and one hundred and
ninty seven other boosters.
The delegation looped the loop
spending and hour and five minutes
in Caldwell; half an hour at Middle
the same length of time at Star and
Eagle and were scheduled to reach
Boise at FIVE O'Clock. At Caldwell the
band was reinforced by members OF
the Caldwell band. After few selec-
tons Mr.. Mcneil addressed the peo-
pie of Caldwell on the purposes of the
expedition and the Nampa festival.
He was greeted by rounds of ap-
plause.
Mr.. Mcneil stated that the Nampa
tuition 1t was held for the purpose of
harvest festival was not a local insti-
showing and advertising the agricul-
tural and live stock interests and re-
sources of southern Idaho. He as
sured the people of Caldwell of a
warm welcome, a good time and a
splendid show if they would attend
the festival.
The Nampa Harvest Festival.
The Nampa harvest festival is now
on in our neighboring city. The ex-
hibits OF grains, grasses, fruits, vege-
tables and of the industries and manu-
features of Nampa are splendid. The
festival is, as promised, a worthy ex-
position of the resources of southern
Idaho. No fair in the state shows a
better or greater variety of products
than are shown at Nampa this week.
The sports. including base ball.
bucking contests, dancing, racing, are
all that were advertised. They are
good and have pleased all visitors,
The attendance has been good the
PAST two days but the record breaking
day so far as Caldwell attendance is
concerned will be today. The Tribune
can assure all that a day spent at
Nampa will be well worth their
while.

EUGENIc LAWS.
Have Played Havoc With Marriage
In Wisconsin.
lChicann Innrnal

Chicago Journal.)
There were l,S34 fewer weddings
in Wisconsin during the first five
months of this year than during the
corresponding period of 1918. This
decrease is laid entirely 10 the new
"eugenic" marriage law. Pobably the
effect of that law is even greater than
these figures Indicate Until the out
break of the war, this year has been
"a more prosperous one than last, and
good times always means an increase
in the number of marriages
What has happened to the 5000 or
1000 young people of Wisconsin
whose natural and proper desire to
found new homes has been checked
by this new law?
The well-to-do among them have
made little excursion. and have been
married outside the state. That is a
very easy method of evasion for all
those who have the price.
A certain number of others have
contracted common-law marriages,
which. in the opinion of at least one
Judge, are not affected by the new
law.
A few more have decided to delay
their nupitals for months or years
either in the definite hope of being
married outside the state or in the
vague expectation that something
will tunn up"
A very few have broken off theil

zebra became known there have been
attempts to domesticate it, but in vain

was made TO produce an animal with

crossing it with a horse. But the

SIMPSON INDICTMENTS
OUASHED IN THE
FEDERAL COURT

The indictments againts S. D. Simp-
son, cashier, and w. G. Simpson,
president of the defunct American
National bank of this city, were
uuashed in the United States court at
Boise Friday. The evidence had al
ready been heard and the cases par
TALLY argued when a fatal flaw was
found in the indictments. Judge Die
trich ordered the indictments queshed,
and the jury was excused. No further
action will be taken in the cases
against the Simpsons until the Feb
ruary term of the federal court.
The flaw in the indictment lay in
the fact that it did not specify that
the certificate of deposit alleged to
have been issued illegally was issued
without the knowledge of the board
of directors of the bank.
This state of affairs was pointed
out by the defense in making
its argument. The court ruled that
the omission was fatal In quashing
the indictment Judge Dietrich said he
had rather expected, after hearing the
evidence, that point would be raised
that would make conviction of the
bankers impossible.
The Simpsons were indicted in con
nection with the failure Of the Ameri.
can National bank at Caldwell. ]. G
Long was also indicted. He was ar
ranged Friday and entered a plea Of
not guilty. He will probably be plac-
ed on the trial at the February term
