He Immediately commenced serving his
sentence. The charge was embezzle-
ment of $2O, 1000 from the state treasury.
Since his trial had been set for De-
cember %, few people had expected any
developments before that date, and
there were but few in the court room
when, at 1870 o. clock in the afternoon
Coleman. with A. A. Fraser, his counsel,
put in an appearance. Telling the defend
ant to stand, the court asked him II ne
wished to change his plea to guilty.
Eyes, SIR" was the answer.
Judge Davis than turned to Deputy
Prosecutor Barnes, who represented the
state. and asked if the county attor'

POLITICAL TREND IN STATE
Opinion That There win be Little
Radical Legislation and Instead Re-
peals Of Some Present Laws.

Attention is beginning to be focused
on the state capital by reason the com
ing inauguration of Governor-elect

the thirteenth session Of the state legis-
lature. The Allen steal, the grand jury
probe of the same and the recent act of
former deputy treasurer Coleman in
pleading guilty to the charge of en-
bezzlement preferred again him further
stimulate the interest. Then there is
the deficit of the outgoing Haines ad-
ministration and the increased estimate
of expenses for the coming year in all
the state offices-aH of these have
aroused the people of the state to take
an active interest in the new admins
tration and great confidence is mani
tested in Governor Alexander in his
performance of proposed reforms, the

the attitude Of the legislature in giving

he stated that northern Idaho is the
most active part Of the state in poultry
breeding circles and that fully ninety
" cent Of the idaho members Of the
Anssican Poultry Association are in the

southern members expect to land the
1915 state show they win have to
hustle.
Features OF the Show.
The main features of the show and
the exhibits are very well summed up in
the statement of Mr.. Bailey in the Tri-
bune as follows:
"The show at IlO was not local
one by any means. Birds came from
over very wide radius of the north
west, and in some instances from a
distance of over 600 miles. In many
classes the cream of the northwest
was represented. In the case of Par
fridge Wyandottes / do not believe
there has been for many years so fine
and large showing as was the case
at Lilo. There were 81 birds in this
class, and while they were mostly Of
local origin, Judge Nelson said in all
the shows he had judged he has never
seen class to surpass them. But the
showing in White Leghorns was such
y Is eldom cen assembled together un-
DER one roof. There was hardly bad
bird in the lot and some of them were
truly remarkable for their shape and
oriiliancy of plumage. One cockerel
ana one pullet were the equal of any

Inere were a great many exhibitors of

and single comb. The popular Buff and

CT deed than all her past history shows, she will see a darker day than she has ever seen before. Stand in the great stone hall and think of what these En- glish statesmen were thinking about and the importance of the moment will almost crush you. Off to the east there, across the Channel, 40 members of Parlia- ment are fighting; even now some of them have laid down their lives for England; it is known that some of them have been injured. Tonight in humb- Ter places than this massive house of parliament, the horror of war will enter for messengers from the king will carry to wom- en and children short missives of news that will change their lives forever. However formally the kings message may be written little children will translate it before bedtime tonight into two short words, "Daddy's dead, and women, at the words will feel an ice at their hearts colder than the highest English states men will ever need to shrink from.
 No wonder Picadilly Circus is forgotten tonight. In distant camps English soldiers may be singing the wartime song, Goodbye, Picadilly, Farewell, Leicester Square"
 But this song is only a sol- dier's song. The lifting of a man who's ready to die. London has forgotten Piccadilly.
 Ton don't wonder that the cafes are deserted; that the the atres are nearly empty! that London's smile is gone.
 
 Wherever you are in London tonight, no matter how the lights glare and the music plays you can't keep your mind or your eyes on the things about you. You think of the camp fires to the east, across the 26 miles of water; you think of the mangled men and of sobbing wo- men and children; you look at the grim-faced Englishmen a. bout you and you know that they'll fight to the last ditch. The horror of war is on Lon don and it falls on you and al- most overwhelms you.

HORROR OF WAR IS UPON ENGLISH
England Realizes Dark Days
 Are Before Her Unless Great h Deeds Are Done.
By William c. Shepherd, United Press Staff Correspondent.

|. London, August 25.-By Mail to New York-Stand in Piccadil- ly Circus tonight and look to the east. Beyond the city's roofs, beyond the fields outside the 4 town forty miles away, lies water. This water is only 26 miles wide; it is the English Channel. And, on the other side, is France, where English sol diers are fighting and dying.
 Only 120 miles from London lies an edge of the great French battlefield. It is only two hours away on an aeroplane; !; only a little more than the bee line distance from New York to Philadelphia.
 Sand n Picadilly Circus, the heart of London, where the lights are the brightest and where London lays-in peace times and think of that near by battle-ground and you begin to understand why England's heart is aflutter and why she tries to keep herself from think ing what might happen if things go wrong.
 English coolness doesn't fool you. I'm writing this just one hour after the news has come to England that 2,000 of her sol diers have fallen today. It was in the lobby of the House of Parliament when the message came. l felt the chill that spread over that histroic struc- ture. l saw the members of Parliament-men in white felt hats, cutaway coats, wingtop collars, models of fashion-mov- ing about that great stone lob by amid the stone statues of the kings and queens of other dark days.
 knew by their faces that their hearts were chilled and that the greatest war that man. kind ever has known had thrown it's spell of horror over them. Gladstone, in stone, loomed over them; he never knew such war as this, or such a chilling of England's sturdy heart. Near him, silent as he is, stand the splendid stone kings of days so far gone that their deeds are only dim in the English history and their names almost forgot ten. They never saw such q war as this.
 Relics of England's history brooded over us in the great lobby and reminders of her darkest days were at every hand, but these men in their high white hats knew we'll, and as you looked at them you knew they knew it, that if En- gland does not perform a great

money, q carload OF household effects
and farm Implements, including four
horses and three cows. OF course. the
first year he only got feed from the
crops, but the second year had 100
acres In wheat which made over $500
bushels. He has not had failure In
crop, and at present has 22 head Of
horses, 10 head OF cattle and 35 hogs,
and owns l,120 acres Of land. all un-

$35 an acre for his land, and should
he care to dispose of his holdings he
could pay all his debts and have $780,
