At the Pinney Theatre, Boise.

The Shepherd of the Hills which
comes to the Pinney Theatre, Boise,
on January 7th and Sth, Is a dram
atization of Harold Bell Wrights
novel, the dramatization having been
made by Mr.. Wright and Elsberry w.
Reynolds.
The Shepherd of the Hills is an
intensely spell-binding story of love,
mystery and heroic daring; it gets a
grip on life and brings peace to the
soul of any man or woman who reads
it. The woods and hills are part of
Gods handiwork. They will give peace
and strength to all who seek them.
From this play you may, in some
measure, feel their influence and
know some of the ways of divine
providence.
You will ask of this story, Are
the characters in the play real peo-
Pile? Does the old Shepherd live
only in the pages of the book or on
the stage? Is there Sammy Lane
and Young Matt 2" You will say
they are all very familiar, and you
seem somehow to have known them
a long time. The scenes may seem
new and yet old. If you go to the
Ozark hills, you will find somewhere
a sheep ranch in Mutton Hollow"
and Dewey Bald" But it is from a
log house above the mists that you
will view these hills and forests and
take of their peace and strength.
That inspiration of the "Old Shep-
herd" and his friends will come to
you also as you follow the old trail
that is nobody knows how old.

THE yANQUISHED FOE.

Hank what joyous sounds are swelling
In the breezes soft and clear,
oTis the mighty temperance army
All victorious drawing near;
Tramping down foe long dreaded,
Powerless in their grasp he lies;
Smitten, vanqmshed crushed forever,
None but traitors heed his cries
Drink, thou demon, thou hast slaughtered
Many sons, both strong and brave,
Driven them to serve the devil
Lured them to drunkard Is grave
Hearts Of mothers thou hast broken,
Bowed their heads in grief and shame;
Powerless, they have strvcd to smite thee,
Battling for their homes and name.
Yield: thou demon, to thy conquorers,
Laws OF man have thee undone,
Yield: unto the temperance army,
Vigorous-with the battle won.
See, their banners 'er thee floating
High uplifted in the airl
Hand in hand they join to rend thee
Sweep thee from this land so fair.
Seel that mother, smiling happy,
Singing praises! shouting joyl--
From her heart a prayer goes Heavenward,
TO her breast she holds her boy;
Into manhood she can bring him
Drinks dread curses ne 'er to know;
lie will make the man she hoped for
And enoble Idaho!

A Fading Years Suggestion.

n uiFinc iurScttluS u tHC past
Toward well-fixed goal
That victory might be gained at las
AS suggested by st. Paul
II not for fame
Is a worthy aim
That appeals to one and all.
There is no time when such appea
Comes with greater force
Than when the old year seems tt
In finishing its course, (yielt
Unto the new
It's trophies few
Expressive of remorse.
The old year comes unto its end
With accumulated load
Gathered In its onward trend
Upon Its annual road.
Tho great it's store
There should be more
To fit the new years code.
We look into the vehicle
As 1t draws near its end
To see ii some rare article
Produced, as by friend,
The store contain
That bears our name
For which we did contend.
Perhaps we see some deed or act
Among the cargo great
That we would not for gold take back
Or change Its destined fate.
But, o. the lot
That's less than nought
We did not anticipate.
Shall we mourn the failure made
BY a retarding act?
Or shall we rest on what we've laid
Because we can't retract?
That will not do,
Let's start anew
Since we ne'er can take back.
Let's forget the past misdeeds
OF others and our own,
Succeeding years has just such needs
AS the years so quickly flown.
Lets not repine
Since there is time
To mend what we have done.
No year has passed without freight
Consisting much or wrong
Committed by the futures great
Who later strove and won;
There may be used
What's been abused
Even to the victor's song.
The highest calling offered man
Is SUCCESSFULLY attained
BY steps constructed by the hand
That seems could not retain
The conquering rod
When first from God
Therein twas placed for gain.
Tho We have failed, we need not fear
II Well but only see
That failures of the present year
Might future triumphs be.
Out of the dross
Thru extra coat
Come trophies rare to see.
Lets take our portion from the train
OF another passing year.
rho much of 1t we could disdain
And turn from 1t with fear,
Yet as a whole
Lets with the soul
A noble statue rear.

IN DISTRICT COURT

Since the Record was issued last
week several cases have been tried
in district court and brought to
conclusion.
Thursday the case Of Phoenix
Lumber Company vs.. Van Beck was
heard. This was ar action relative
to payment for lumber said to have
been secured in excess of estimate.
The jury found for the plaintiff for
about half what was asked. Lynn
& Lynn for plaintiff; Armstrong &
Cameron FOR defendant.
The appeal case Of F. B. Streeter
VS.. Emmons was taken up Friday
morning. After devoting most of
the day to taking testimony in this
case the Court ordered directed
verdict for the plaintiff in the full
payment, including costs and inter
est at the rate Of 7 per cent from
the date of rejection of the bill. AT
the time of closing the case the dep
uty or assistant states attorney
or whatever he might be, asked to
argue various and sundry legal ques-
tions at length. The Court held
that too much time OF the jury
men could not he taken up at that
time but that after the jury had
been released there would be
chance for the attorneys to argue at
length and should he be convinced
of any error on his part in the d.
recting of the verdict, such correc-
tion would he made gladly by the
Court. The case did not go to the
jury for the reason that there was
no discrepancy in the testimony as
to the facts.
Following the appeal case the Van
der Wal-Bichler case was taken up.
Carl Van der Wal sought to recover
money for thrashng for the defen-
dant. The jury awarded him the
amount claimed. Coventry for
plaintiff; Lynn & Lynn for defen-
dant

it was discovered that Nelson and
Hall, two workmen who were in the
building when it collapsed. are miss
ing and it is almost certain that they
are buried under the ruins. When
this discovery was made, the fire de-
partment was again called out and
large crew of men was set to work
in the attempt to dig out the miss
ing men. 1t is feared that they will
not be found alive, however, as they
are undoubtedly buried under the
great mass of ruins.
Bismarck, Feb. G.--The supreme
court this afternoon handed down a
decision denying the petition of
George Fortune, former police chief;
w. S. Casselman, justice of the
peace, and Charles Mason, former
police officer, for an order vacating
the district courts finding that
their trials, on charges of grand
larceny should be transferred to
Morton county. The defendant Of
ticials maintain there is no grounds
for removal. but the supreme court
holds that changing the venue in a
criminal case is non-appealable.
