CITIZENS TICKET wins
in CITY ELECTION.
Business Mens's Ticket Also Pulls Good
Sized Vote but Practically Show no
Interest as Regards Outcome.

Perhaps the most quiet and unin-
teresting election that was ever pulled
off in Nezperce occurred Tuesday
when the annual village election took
place. There were two tickets in
the field, ticket headed "Citizens
Ticket which contained the names
of Charles Thomas, J. H. Lewis, A.
Hunter, O. A. Jeffreys and L. J.
Rowe, winning out by a small margin
over the ssBusiness Mems ticket"
composed of Jas. G. Wright, w. P.
Conger, York Herren and w. 0.
Barbee-Ed Schnell, the fifth man
nominated on this ticket withdrew his
name
The latter named ticket was placed
in the running at the very latest pos
sible hour, and many were not aware
that a second ticket had been placed
in the field.
The day was an ideal one, and
223 votes only, were cast-less than
half the registration. But the men
on either ticket were equally qualified
for the places, that many did not
care enough which of the five re-
ceived the highest votes and the
election. The polls opened at nine
a. M, and closed at z p. m. Up to
noon very few over fifty had voted.
Following is the number of votes
each candidate polled Thomas, 154
Lewis, 1877 Hunter, 100; Jeffreys,
1872; Rowe, 140; Wright, 116; Con-
ger, los; Herren "a; Barbee, 100.
The new board has not fully de-
cided just when they will assume the
reins of government, but will in all
likelihood postpone their administra-
tion until the old council has its final
meeting and turns over the city to
them with clear understanding of
matters pertaining to the business
situation, which will probably not be
until the early part of the coming
week

NEzPERCE WILL
FLOCK To LEWISTON
Town Give Practical Holiday on May 3
and Citizens Go by Autos and
Trains to Celebrate.

Lewiston on next Monday, May 8
will be the mecca for thousands oi
visitors judging by the interest arous-
ed throughout the inland empire in
the celebration to be held at Lew
iston on May 8 to commemorate the
completion of the Dalles-Celilo
canal, construction of which cost the
Federal government SIS 900, 100000.
Supplementing the service over the
boats that will come from lower riw-
er points to join in the water fete on
celebration day, special train service
will be provided over the Palouse,
Clearwater and Grangeville lines to
accommodate the throngs from in
terror country points.

practically been declared in the trib-
utary country, when business houses
in many cities and towns will close

trip to Lewiston. The Lewiston Gel
ebration is handled by committee
of one hundred citizens there and

ranged provides for an historical pa
rade followed by exercises when ad-

al delegation sent officially to parti-
cipate in the program by congress.
The water fete program follows

the greatest development event this
section has yet been heir to. The
banks will close here and it will be
practically a holiday at this point.

tiles, and it is expected that the boys
will make tcn-strike with the stunt

erizing the principal industry of the

A Right Good Game.

Nezperce, g.; Kamiah, 4-was the
snappy game of base ball played on
the local grounds last Sunday after
noon. The result was in the all
from the first toss of the ball and the
good sized turnout of faithful fans
was kept in that particular state OF
anxious expectancy that gives the
thrill necessary to command real re-
spect for the passtime.
The teams scored one each in the
first inning; Nezperce took one and
blanked Kamiah in the second, and
the visitors returned with two and
gave blank to the home bunch in
the third. TIE score was tied in
the fourth, and Nezperce took the
lead with two runs to one in the
fifth. The sixth and seventh were
blanks all around, and Nezperce
grabbed one more in the eighth,
which ended the scoring.
The weather was ideal, and if all
had paid who saw the game, enough
would have been raised to start this
season off with a good deal more
zest among our boys, who have
shown they can play ball if reason
ably encouraged.

LAND FIGHTING NOT CLEAN
Sailors Objected to Work They Did
Not Enjoy That Was a Necessary
Part Of Warfare Ashore.

The American troops who occupied
Vera Cruz last year were the second
body of our soldiers to enter the city
within century When It was be-
sieged in the Mexican war, Capt Rob-
ert E. Lee, afterward the commander
in chief of the Confederate army, was
ordered to throw up breastworks to
defend battery manned by the jack
les of man-of-war. Lee put the tars
into the trenches. and soon had the
dirt flying, but the sailors did not la
Dor cheerfully. They resented having
to shovel dirt, and their captain re-
monstrated openly with Lee.
My men," he said, do not want
mud banks to hide behind; Just let
them get out and at the enemy"
But Lee would not listen, and the
tars sweated away at the shoyeling.
Presently the Mexicans opened fire
at the very point thus protected, and
the sailors were glad 10 seek the shell
ter of the despised dirt. The ships
captain felt that he owed Lee an apol-
ogy and made handsome one
well, Captain Lee" he stammered,
"I reckon you were right suppose
the dirt did save some of my boys from
being killed or wounded, but you know
we sailors have no use for dirt banks
on shipboard All we want is a clear
deck and an open sea. The fact is,

NAVAL OFFICERS TO PLAY
BASEBALL ON THURSDAY.
Annual Game Between the Married and
Single Men Has Been Arranged
for That Afternoon.

The annual baseball game between
the married and single naval officers
on duty at the Naval Academy, ar
ranged to be played on the academy
grounds Thursday afternoon. And it
promises to be some game too, as both
teams Will be mixed combinations.
Each will number among its players
some former stars of midshipmen
mines, while some will be officers who
probably have never played more than
the average school boy game before.
The Benedicts, for instance, will
have the services of Lieut.. Theobal d,
former captain and third baseman of
the Navy nine, who is coaching the
middies this year, and Lieutenant
Gill, who played shortstop on the MILDLY
team for three years while he was a
student at the institution.
Among the players for the bachelors
will be Lieut. Cohen, also a former
star of Navy mines, and Prof. Paul
Dashiell, who is an old Lehigh athlete,
will play as usual for the bachelors, it
is expected.
Rear-Admiral Fullam, superintendent
of the academy, also is an old ball
player. He played in the years when
freehanded ball was the style of play,
but it is not likely that he will at
tempt to stand the exertion with his
younger brother officers. Some one
has suggested that he umpire the

Must Be Admitted.

interview with an officer of high rank.
who had had an audience of Emperor
Francis Joseph a few days previously
in Vienna. The officer said
Il spent half an hour in the working
room of his majesty. and found hiN
to be much more lively and agile than
at any time during the last years
when saw him. During the audi
ence the emperor walked up and down
the room. He was always noted for
his excellent memory. but what l saw
in regard to this now was really mar
velous. His majesty knows the name
of the commander OF every regiment.
and even now is well informed as to
changes taking place in commanders
of brigades and regiments.
"He is informed every day as to the
work being done by all the war ma
terial factories. On the table in his
study lies an immense map with small
flags indicating the position of the
fighting forces.
Cordial relations exist between his
majesty and the heir apparent. The
emperor speaks highly of the young
king speaks very highly OF the young
heir and is extremely proud and fond
of him.
'His medical advisers do not willing
ly consent to his drives out, though he
asks them daily to allow him TO visit
the wounded soldiers In the hospitals
The few visits he has paid to the hos
pitals have been small victories over

New Naval Auxiliary.

The German soldier. we are in

days of a diminishing food supply to
make private levies upon poultry
yards of conquered civil populations.
Chicken and geese especially, for their
eggs sake, must be respected. Only
one feathered creature, the carrier
pigeon. is fair game. He is outside
the law because he is under suspicion
of being the enemy's messenger.
1t was somewhere in northern
France that an officer on his rounds
came upon Private Beck, just relieved
of sentry duty and in the act of pluck
ing stately goose. To a discreetly
worded question as to the corpus de-

quiver of an eyelid:
