ASPHYXIATTON BOMBS
THROWN BY GERMANS
Missiles of Chloride Mixed With Other
Chemicals Hurled Against Allies
In Attack Near Ypres.

Paris, April "a, 1904 p. m.-The as
phyxiation bombs used by the Ger
mans in their attack near Ypres on
Thursday were thrown at numerous
points along a front of three miles, ac-
cording to information that has been
brought to Paris. The contents Of
these missiles were largely chloride
mixed with other chemicals.
The Germans threw these bombs
when the wind was blowing from them
in the direction of the French trenches
The fumes caused discomfort in
breathing and a smarting of the eyes
at a distance of nearly two miles be-
hind the trenches, and they were so
powerful that the Germans had to
wait themselves a considerable tim G
before they could occupy the evacua-
ted trenches.
During this delay the French troops
recovered from the effects of tho
fumes. delivered a counter attack and
regained most of the ground lost. Th c
German supply of chloride bombs ap-
parently was used up in their first adj
vance, and they gave way before the
resolute bayonet attack of the French.
The bombs themselves are thrown
by means of a hand sling.

OPEN DISSENTION
IN C.. OF C.. RANKS
Some Business Men Object to Closing
Hours and II. w. O'Connor
ReVoItS.

Already there seems to be some dis
sention in the ranks of the New Brit
ain chamber of commerce. 1t all arises
over the order issued by that organi-
cation for all stores to close at .
o'clock Monday nights, $3.50 o'clock
Saturday nights and at o'clock
other nights.
Many of the merchants about the
business center of the city have been
heard to object to these closing hours
on the ground that in a city such as
this it is not the best policy to close
at such hours.
T. w. O'Connor, of the T. w. O'Con-
nor company, seems to be the leader
of the insurgents and he has come
out flat-footed and refused to obey
the closing order. He has posted 4
notice for his patrons saying that New
Britain is a manufacturing city and
he caters to the working people.
Therefore he will keep his store open
for their accommodation on Tuesday,
Wednesday, Thursday and Friday
nights until $50 o'clock, on Satur-
day nights he will remain open until
1890 o'clock and on Monday nights
until $50 o'clock.
One or two of the other leading
stores of the city have also failed to
observe the new closing hours relig-
iously.

Dramatic Episode or War.

The bold exploits of this remnant
Of the Emden's crew have constituted
one Of the most dramatic episodes Of
the war. The men were members OF
a landing party which was on Cocos
Island when the battle occurred, be-
tween the Australian cruiser sydney
and the Emden, in which the German
cruiser was sunk.
Under the leadership Of Lieutenant
Won Muecke, the landing party COM
Wandered the schooner Aysha and
sailed away. Since that time there
have been many conflicting reports
regarding their activities. Manila
heard that they had captured a COL
lier on which they had mounted two
Maxim guns and had been making
raids on French commerce. The
French ministry of marine announced
en- December IS that the auxiliary
cruiser Empress of Japan had cap
trred the collier with the men on
board.
Reported at Hodeida.
A Berlin despatch on February 5,
however, said the Aysha had reached
Hodeida, Arabia, where the crew was
given an enthusiastic welcome by
Turkish troops.
The port referred to in the Berlin
despatch to London today as Lidd
may be Jidda, on the Red sea coast of
Arabia. The ultimate destination of
the Germans is a matter of specula-
ton, but they apparently are headed
for Turkey.

Concrete Cross Walks

The city is having several concrete
cross walks constructed on main
street this week. A new concrete
watering trough has been built this
week at the point on main street
where the old wooden structure has
been for so many years. The concrete
habit is now taking hold of the town
in the right manner and it should be
dealt with more than it is being
done. We have a bunch of sidewalks
in this city that are disgrace to a
vicinity as prosperous as Kendrick.
We have walks in this town that if
not taken care of are going to cause
the city to pay out more in dam
age suits than it would to concrete
every street in the whole town.

Tuesday morning the residence of

Mr.. Riley and wife were at their

was discovered in their home by
neighbors. The house and contents
were entirely destroyed. The loss
was partly covered by insurance.
The water was there but the fire
hose was not able to stand the test.
AS we have said before it is high
time that a fire team be organized
and some drilling done on the fire
line. Some one should be placed at
the head of the team that under
stands fighting fire and then allow
him to be boss at the fires. The citi.
zens of Kendrick must have fire pro.
lection at any cost.

manner than ever before. Don't

LIQUOR LAWS IN IDAHO
ARE STRICT
Only Three Professions AL
lowed to Use Alcohol

Boise, Idaho, Sept. 11.-Idaho's
amendatory local optition law, said
to be one of the most stringent in the
United States, operative now in pro-
hibition counties, and which will ap-
ply to this state as whole on and
after January l, 1916, is constitu-
itonal in every form.
This is the sweeping ruling of the
state supreme court in an opinion
handed down here tonight.
1t is held to be not in contraven-
tion of section one of the fourteenth
amendment of United States; its title
is not defective; each and every part
of it comes within the subject of
general legislation; it does not pre-
hibit surgeons, physicians, dentists
or hospitals from using pure alcohol
for medical purposes as contended
and prohibition districts do not now
have to vote on it's adoption, says
the court.
Latah Man Loses
The opinion is on the application
of Edward Crane of Latah county to
secure a writ of habeas corpus for
his release from Jail there on the
charge of having liquor in his pos
session, which the law prohibits.
The writ is quasbed and Crane re-
manded to the custody Of the sheriff.
Passing on the validity and con-
stitutionality of the act, the supreme
court says in part:
"We have reached the conclusion
that this act is not in contravention
of sectiou l of the fourtheenth am
mendment to the constitution of the
United States nor of section 13,
article of the constitution of Idaho
that it was passed by the legislature
with veiw to the protection of the
public health, the public morals and
the public safety; that it has real
and substantial relation to those OBJ
jects and that it is, therefore, a re-
asonable exercise of the police power
of the state.
Permits Alcohol Use
''In order to set the minds of cit.
liens of the state forever at rest
upon this point (the contention that
the law prohibits the use of alchoI
by physicians and surgeons in the
practice of their profession) we will
say that the practice of surgery
dentistry and dental surgery are
!. sciences and that pure alchol may be
lawfully procured under the terms
, of this act in the manner provided
therein for use.
