CHOLERA EXPERTS
TO VISIT IDAHO
THROUGH EFFORTS OF SENATOR
BRADY GOVERNMENT WILL
SEND MEN TO IDAHO,
Idaho Has Been Allotted $4,000 and
Hog Cholera Serum VIII Be Sent
To the University of Idaho.

WASHINGTON, Mar. 3O.-The de
partment of agriculture is soon to sent
experts from the bureau of animal
industry to aid the farmers of Idaho
in eradicating hog cholera, which is
proving disastrous in several counties
About month ago congress appro-
priated $4,000 to enable the depart
ment of agriculture to continue it's
fight against hog cholera, and Sen
ator Brady, a member of the commit
tee on agriculture, was instrumental
in securing early and favorable ac-
tion on this bill by the senate.
Senator Brady has been appealed to
by many Idaho farmers to secure
government aid in fighting this dread
and since the appropriation
became available, he has been in con-
stant communication with the secre-
tary of agriculture, and now is as
sured that large portion of the
$4,000 will be expended for the ben
eft of Idaho farmers. The depart
ment is now buying up quantities of
hog cholera serum and in a short
time will send several representatives
to Idaho to demonstrate to farmers
how this serum should be used.

Losses on Both Sides Said to be
Terrific.

Ell PASO, Mar. 30.-With the force
of able bodied men greatly reduced,

still raging when the message was
sent.

ly gaining ground. 1t is estimated
that fully $500 federals were killed
and as many more wounded. The
rebel loss was very heavy but no fig
ures were given.

/ LONDON, Mar. 30.-War Secretary
Seeley's resignation was announced
today by Premier Asquith in the house
of commons. Premier Asquith has
assumed the war portfolio himself,
saying that he will resign his seat in
parliament as a representative of
East Fife and go before the people
at an election for the return to Of
flee as premier and war minister.
AS he is practically certain of vic

liberals consider an electoral endorse
ment of his policy without a dissolu-
ton of parliament and a general cleo

carry.
These maneuvers are regarded as
one of the most adroit In the history
of British politics.

During the evening the Misses Perm
ella and Gertrude Hays consented to
give an exhibition of the new dances,
which are everywhere SO popular, and
which when we'll and properly danced
are so strikingly beautiful. The twin
sisters are of identical height and
nearly identical appearance, and
were dressed almost exactly alike in
exquisitely dainty gowns of plated

graceful figures of the tango. In re-
sponse to insistent applause they
danced the Boston which is an eff
fective and charming dance.

Nausen Sounded Warming.

| The Swedish conservatives are max
ing good use in their campaign of the
words of DR.. Fritjof Nansen, the Arc
tic explorer, who in addressing an an
ti-government mass-meeting the other
day in Christiania attacked the radi-
calls for preferring the promotion Of all
sorts of social reforms instead of in
creasing Norway's defenses, and said:
II fear that the day will soon come
when Norway and Sweden will have to
unite against a common enemy for
the defense of their neutrality and in
dependence.
In the meantime Russia is doing all
she can to allay the Swedish suspic
ions. Says the Novoye Vrenya, semi
official organ of the st. Petersburg
government: 'If the Swedes should
exercise little more perspicacity they
would readily see that their potential
enemy is Germany, and that it is from
the Wilhelmstrasse that their base
less suspicious Of Russia's ulterior
designs against its Scandinavian friend
and neighbor have been festered. In
case of an armed collision between
Russia and Germany the latter power
would at once endeavor to establish 4
naval base at some point on the
Swedish coast; consequently it be-
hoves the Swedes to be prepared for
such an eventuality by rendering their
coast defenses as far as possible i'm
This is the precautionary
task of the Swedes, instead of useless
ly lavishing their treasure on their
land frontier defenses."

present the operetta, Sylvia" Miss
Kendrick is most desirous that the

those who are interested in public
school music and what the children are
accomplishing in that branch should
keep that date free from any other
engagement. In order that some notion
may be gained of what the operetta
will be like, Miss Kendrick has sub
mitted the following outline
Sylvia is pastoral comedy in two
acts, and is one of the most popular
of Rhys Herbert's productions. The
costumes belong to the period of the
18th century, and those worn by the
court ladies and noblemen will be
quite elaborate.
The choruses will be sung by the
Farmers Daughters, Farm Lads, and
Hay Makers. The scene is hay field
on fine summer day. The sky is
blue, the air is full of the fragrance
of new mown hay.
The lady Sylvia, a naughty court
lady, is genuinely tired of her empty,
splendid existence and, wandering in

farmers daughter, bemoaning her fate
and wishing that she were engaged to
mary a noble man instead of honest
William. Sylvia the court lady, sug-
gests that they exchange gowns and
sWeethearts for the rest of the day.
Betty consents, though rather reluct-
antly, to this plan and tells of flow
er called Cupid's Eye, which would
blind the poet and farmer to the fact
hat such an exchange had been made.

atoms arise, with the result that at

MOSCOW FIRST IN

The Sum Was Given Through the

! Further details in regard to the es-
tablishment of a playground scholar
ship for Moscow, which was first an
nounced last Thursday evening before
| the Home Economics club, were fur
nished this paper by Dean French, to
whom is due the credit of originating
the idea of interesting the clubwomen
of the state in founding such scholar
ships.
Miss French states that the sum of
seventy-fve dollars has been given
by an anonymous friend to be award
ed as a playground scholarship by the
state federated home economics club

alton of the director of physical edu-
cation for women in the university.

GREAT CONVENTION
HAS JUST CLOSED
REV. WARNER HAS RETURNED
FROM BOISE WHERE HE AT
TENDED CONVENTION.
Says Big Parade Was Spectacular
Rev. Warner Was One of the Speak
ers at the Convention.

The prohibition convention held a
Boise last week was perhaps one Of
the greatest demonstrations against
the liquor traffic in Idaho that has
ever been witnessed according to Rev
Robert Warner, who was one of the
delegates and who returned home Sat
urday.
"The parade in which 1900 people
participated was inspiring and thrill
ing and the work of the convention
| believe will bear fruit at the COM
ing general election" said Mr.. Warn
er. THE movement for statewide
prohibition is growing rapidly and
promises to cut no little part in the
future elections of Idaho
Rev. Warner Spoke.
Mr.. Warner was one of the speakers
at the convention which appeared in
part in the Statesman of Boise, as fol-
lows:
Robert Warner, D. D., of Moscow and
Rev. Willsie Martin occupied the time
left vacant. DR.. Warner gave a force
full address upon THE Last Stand of
the Liquor Power" The argu-
ment that prohibition does not pro-
hibit is the last resort" he said Their
others have been proven fallacies and
this is only half truth if it can be
that. No law is prohibitive. Were this
the case we would have no murders,
no theft, no crime of any sort. Our
statement in refutation of this claim
is that in destroying the saloon we
are destroying the breeding place of
vice, and if we do not absolutely pro-
hibit traffic in liquor, as it is claimed
we cannot, we will reduce it to a min
imum, and in so doing will reduce 9TH
er crimes in proportion.
Give Uncle Sam Chance.
ut is said that the United States
government cannot stop the liquor
tIdnic, Ildt udliolldl law WOuiu
have little effect The facts dispute
this argument. Where the United
States has control of a traffic there
is complete control When goods are
in bonded warehouses the government
knows what is done with those goods.
Evidence that we have before us re-
flutes any anxiety we may have about
the ability of the government to en-
force the laws it makes"
