Donkey Carts Galore.

1t was Saturday, and market day,
when we got there; and really 1 never
could have believed that there we're as
many donkey and donkey carts in the
world as there were in Killarney that
day AS I said, the weather was
fine and they were there from all the
country round; it's the Irishman's
automobile and costs him from $3.50
to $40 for the donkey and from $40
to SIS for the cart; and can assure
you that the loss of either is SER
ious matter with these folks. We
spent two or three days at Killarney,
visited the thatched roof cottage of
Kate Kearney made famous by the
poet, Tom Moore From there we
went on horseback through the Gap
of Dunloe, then back over the Lakes
of Killarney by row boat,-all very
charming, very nice, but Lake Chat
colet looks better to me.

SPLENDID DRAMA
GIVEN LAST NIGHT
PUPILS OF URSULINE ACADEMY
PLEASED LARGE AUDIENCE
WITH SIN YESTA'S ATRIUM."
Cast was Good and Play was Staged
Most ElabOrateIy-PIay VIII be
Repeated Again Tonight

So well established is the reputation
of Ursuline academy for the putting
on of delightful plays that the ex-
tremely inclement weather of last
evening was not sufficient drawback
to keep a large and representative
audience from enjoying the presenta-
ton of "In Vesta's Atrium," per-
formance that in acting and stage set
anything previously attempted by the
pupils of the academy.
Play Most Elaborate.
The play is most elaborate, the
scenes being laid in Greece and Rome,
and the three acts being divided into
four scenes each. The cast of char
acters included many of the pupils of
the school who played their parts ex-
tremely we'll and rendered the difficult
lines with surprising feeling and in
telligence. The work of memorizing
was also monumental.
Scenery Was Magnificent.
The scenery, all of which was paint
ed by the Sisters, was perhaps the
chieef surprise and pleasure of the
evening, the audience marveling at
the ingenuity which could give to a
fairly narrow and shallow stage an
effect of great depth and extent and
the scenes for which were so artistic
ally painted.
An Exquisite Drama.
The drama is one of exquisite and
touching ideality, and the elements
of historical fact sustained interest
Miss Cummerford, as Roman trib-
une, delighted the audience by the
heart-whole rendition of her part.
Miss Sullivan, Miss Yangle, Miss
Jones, Miss Kelly, Miss Friedman,
the Misses Burr, Miss Coleman, Miss
Burke, and Miss Randall so we'll SYM
bolized their characters that one |
could easily imagine himself in the |
Rome of the Caesars.
Miss Miller Was Fine.
Miss Miller, both as the young
Greek heiress and the slave of the |
Roman Vestalis Maxima, executed
Ter difficult role with all the refine
nent of Greek perfection.
Vivian Clemans, the angel in the
scene, received much and
vell-deserved applause.
Among the younger vestals, Joseph
ne Brown, Josie Keane, and Victoria
Wallace were star performers and
manifested great dramatic ability
Vocal Solos Good.
Vocal solos by the Misses, MilleT
Trey, and Wallace were a pleasing
ddition to the program.
The popularity Of plays at the
Jrsuline academy always necessitates
second performance; and "In Vesta's
-trium" will, therefore, be repeated
onight at 1880

DEATH CLAIMED
AGED PIONEER
VICTIM OF RUNAWAY. ACCIDENT,
CHARLES BENTON TOWNE PASS
ED AWAY YESTERDAY.
Moved to This Section in 1S76-Was
Widely Known and held in High
Regard.

The death of Charles Benton Towne
who was injured in a runaway accident
at Viola Wednesday, occurred yester-
day afternoon at his home three and
one-half miles northeast of Moscow
from the injuries received without
having gained consciousness. The
news of the death of Mr.. Towne is re-
ceived by host of friends with much
regret. He was regarded as one of
the most substantial citizens of Latah
county and was held in high esteem
among all who enjoyed his acquaint-
ance. The deceased had been most ac
tive in the welfare and upbuilding of
the community and because of his most
charitable disposition had gathered
about him many local and staunch
friends.
Runaway Caused Death.
The accident which ended the career
of this energetic citizen occurred We'd
nesday as he was on his way with
his team to Viola to secure a load of
lumber. While near that place he
met along the road the auto truck of
the Washington Water Power COM
pany which had stopped to allow him
to pass. According to reports, as the
team was just going by, the motor was
started suddenly by the auto driver
causing the horses to become frighten-
ed. They bolted and ran and according |
to eye-witnesses, Mr.. Towne clung to
the lines but was jolted from his seat
and dragged for some distance when
he lost his hold, the wheels of the
heavy wagon passing over his neck
and body. He suffered break of the
right leg at the ankle besides inter-
nal injuries and became unconcious.
DR.. Gritman was called to the scene
and removed the injured man to his
home where everything known to med
cal science was done to save his life,
out the end came yesterday.
Came Here in 1876.
The deceased was a native of Clay
on county, Iowa, and was born jan
larry 4, 1856. He came to Idaho with
lis family in 1876 and settled on a
homestead near Moscow where he has
esided practically ever since. Be-
ides being survived by widow, he
s also survived by one son, Edgar, and
daughter, Mrs. William Taylor of
uliaetta. His aged mother also sur
ives him. The body was prepared
" Undertaken Steltz at the home and ..
he funeral will be conducted at his
ate home tomorrow afternoon at 2
clock and interment will be in the
1oscow cemetery. Rev. j. Watson of
he St. Marks church will officiate.

IF THE CITY. IN VIEW OF THE
ROUGH THIS ILL-ADVISED MOVE
ECURED DATA IN RELATION TO
Mt THAT UNMISTAKABLY BEARS
The report is being circulated that
the tax levy for the city of Moscow
has doubled and that such increase is
due to paving cost. This is absolutely
false, according to statements made
today and in support of the proof that
such claim is false, the following
certificate of the city clerk is sub
mitted, showing the items composing
the l6 mills tax levy for 1913.
BY the City Clerk.
MOSCOW, Idaho, June 81 hereby
certify that the tax levy of 16 mills
for city purposes on property within
the city of Moscow for the year 1913
is composed of the following:
General Fund, 6-S mills.
Interest, 2 2-S mills Qess than 1-3
paving.)
Park, 3-S mill.
Cemetery, 3-S mill.
Light, l As mills.
Library, 5-S mill.
Fire, 2-S mill.
Salary, 2 rs mills
Total, 16 mills.
Dated at Moscow, Idaho, June 5,
-914.
]. R. STRONG,
City Clerk
Attention is especially called to the
act that the item Interest" of 2-S
Mills includes all taxation for paying
interest on all bonds. The rs
he entire bonded Indebtedness of the
ity of Moscow which bonds amount to
total of $4,000 of which only $780,
100 was paving bonds, it therefore
equired less than one-third of the 2
-S mills or about 7-10 mill, to pay the
interest on the paving bonds, the bal
st on bonds other than the paving
onds.
Due to Other Causes.
1t is therefore apparent to any fair
minded person that any considerable
Increase in the taxes in the city of
Ioscow last year was positively due to
ther causes than expenses connected
rith paving, because all the city could
e taxed for an account of paving
yould be the interest on only 100000
yhich was the total amount of the
onds issued for paving.
The total tax was 16 mills of which
he part due to paving is only about
-23, that is, only 1-23d of last years
axes went to pay interest on hav-
lg bonds.
Prominent Taxpayer Talks.
In an interview today w. G. Barge
lakes the following statement: "At
rst l was opposed to bonds for paw
lg purposes, but when the same car
led the first time l at once circulated
petition for the pavement of Almon
-om Third to Sixth streets, which
as granted by the council and Almon
treet paved At the time of the
ranting of the petition there were
IN lots of vacant land on that street,
ut since the pavement, three houses
ave been erected on Almon street at
cost of at least $2500 each, and there
now being erected one that will cost
t least $4,000 and two other build
lgs being improved at a cost of at
EAST $1,000 each. At this time there
not to exceed 80 feet of vacant
md, and three persons ready and
nxious to get that, if the owners
ould sell at a price far in excess of
le price asked before the pavement.
1.-THE owners of the property would
OF take their money back and be
laced where they were before the
nprovements were made. We invite
lie citizens of Moscow to come and
,e what change has been made and
1w much better it is and looks, and
answers for itself why paving is
,od investment on easy terms"

Who is to Blame for
Low Price Cotton Seed?

Who is to blame for the low price of
cotton seed? The cotton oil mill com
panies are being generally held respon-
sible for this condition, but a little in
yestigation tends to show that there is
something wrong further down the
line. All food products have gone up
as a result Of the war and it is nat
ural to expect the same thing to occur
in the case Of cotton seed products,
but what DO we find? Here are the
prices Of oil mill products on October
"a, 1914, and the prices on the corre-
spending date a year ago.
Meal, October IA, 1918, ss1 per ton;
October "a, 1914, s22 per ton
Crude oil, October "a. 1913, 46c gal
lon; October "a, 1914, 2Sc gallon.
HuIls, October "a. 1918, $1O.5O per
ton; October "a, 1914, $3.50 per ton.
Lintars, October "a, 1913, 21sc per
pound; October "a, 1914. 1c per pound.
The price which an oil mill receives
for the products made from ton OF
seed this year is $13.15 less than it
was at the same time year ago. In
view of the advance in the prices of
other food products, undoubtedly there
is something wrong when cotton seed
products bring no more A line of in
yestigation directed toward the pur-
chasers of oil mill products should fur
nish some light on the question and
prove profitable to the oil mills as well
as to the producers of cotton seed. AS
long as the price of cotton seed pro-
ducts is low, the price of the raw seed

Center Fields Fight
in Section About Enid

Enid, Okla, Oct. 29.-The Republi-
cans have centered their gubernator-
ial fight in this section Of the state.
Their encouragement comes in the
hope of the Democrats in the south
ern part Of the state remaining at
home. In several southern Democratic
counties the Democratic candidates
are unopposed on the county ticket,
and the old standpat machine has hope
that there may be a light vote. In
this section, where Fields endeayors
have been hardest and where there is
little negro population to remind the
voters of what would happen in event
of standpat Republican success, it is
hoped to get Democratic voters to join
the Fields column Progressives have
been making a strenuous campaign,
however, against Fields. and the
strength Of the Progressive movement
is probably as great as that of the old
line candidate, whose affiliations with
Taft and Cannon in former days does
not make him strong favorite with
the rank and file of Republicans in
this progressive country.
Democrats are encouraged by re-
ports from points further west and X
is believed that Congressman Morgan
will be defeated in this district, which
is normally Republican.
