Pure Food Man Here

A. H. Wilson, the pure food man,
put the "kibosh" on the sale of Gold
en- Robin in Nezperce Tuesday by
sealing up what stock was on hand
at Nesler & Sparks. There is sup
position in the mind of the pure food
man the beverage contains little
more alcohol than it is supposed to
and sample was taken along to be
analized by the state chemist at
Boise. The firm of Nesler & Sparks,
who have the exclusive right for
handling the goods in Nezperce,
claim they have an absolute guaran-
tee from the manufacturers that it
can be sold without conflicting with
state pure food laws and that the
brand sold here contains less than
two per cent alcohol, although the
company turns out brew contain
ing nearly four per cent alcohol. So
far as we are able to learn this is
the only "damage" Mr.. Wilson did
while in town.

ly the almost universal practice in
American high schools has included
class recitations based upon home
study or infrequent, almost wholly
unsupervised study periods. For
some time, however, vigorous attacks
have BEEN made on the home study
part of the practice and many schools
are now operating on the basis of
regularly organized frequent, care
fully supervised study periods with
little or no home study. Our plan
here will be to have sixty minutes In
each recitation period instead of the
traditional forty, and to have the
first part of the period for recita-
tion and the latter part for supervis
ed study. This study will be on the
lesson in the same subject for the
next day and will be closely super
vised by the teacher in charge. We
intend to do away with large
amount of the home study where the
pupil is carrying an average amount
of work. Of course outside readings
and Investigations along certain BRAN
ches will be carried on and this will
necessitate certain amount of work

Held In $1,000 Bond.

Mrs. Jane H. Smith and son,
George, were arrested Monday at
their place near Forest by Sheriff
Paige on warrant sworn out by
John Wilks, a we'll known resident
also of that section, charging the
defendants with stealing a lot of
household goods and windows on the
18th instant from house belonging to
Mr.. Wilks.
The Smiths were brought before
Probate Judge Roberts, where,
through their attorney, John Green
of Culdesac, they waived preliminary
examination and we're bound over to
the district court in the sum of $1,000.
The bond was furnished and the de-

day showed that but two victims
carried fire insurance. The firm of
of Erb Bros. carried insurance to
the amount of $4,000 and the
loss sustained by the firm is in ex-
cess of $4,000. Arthur Dorothy,
postma ster, carried insurance to the
amount of $3.50 and his loss is esti-
mated to have been about $400.
The other losses reported after a
careful canvass of the situation has

Stallbohm Found Guilty Of Cruelty to
Animals.

Henry Stallbohm was arrested at his
home in the Steele neighborhood yes
terday by Sheriff Paige, on a complaint
charging cruelty to animals, which
complaint was sworn out by Warren
Clugston, well known rancher on
Central Ridge and neighbor of Stall
bohm's. Stallbohm was brought be-
fore Probate Judge Roberts and his
trial was set for 1880 o'clock this
morning, at which he was found guilty
as charged in the complaint and SEN
tence will be passed on him at 5 100
p. m. to-day. The law provides
penalty for such offenses of fine of 81
to $500 and 6 months in Jail.
Warren Clugston, the complainant,
Chas. Coon, also of Central Ridge, and
c. c. Fike, who was present as a
special deputy sheriff when the arrest
was made, were the only witnesses ex-
amined. The testimony of the first
two was, in effect, that defendant had
shot seven head of cattle belonging to
Mr.. Clugston and two belonging to Mr..
Coon, with shot gun loaded with No.
E shot, while the cattle were in de-
fendant's grain field, more or less SER
iously wounding but not killing any OF
them. 1t was also brought out that
the fence about the field in which the
cattle were shot was usually down.
Mr.. Fike testified to having seen the

on the part of the pupil outside
OF school hours, but the study
of the text book itself will be carried
on in the school room and under the
care of skilled teacher where the
pupil will be taught, among other
things just, How to Study. Thirty
minutes of intensive study under this
plan will prove to be worth 90 to 90
minutes of home study where often
the conditions are not at all favorable
to any kind of study. A pupil can
study best in an atmosphere favorable
to study and this can best be obtained
in the school room.
It is hoped that the homes will CO.
operate with us in this matter and see
that the child makes good use of his
school hours and gives his time at
home to performing home duties,
such incidental readings and work of
that nature as is required and to
active outdoor exercise. The plan
will probably require slightly
longer school day than heretofore but
not ever thirty minutes

Hail Ruins 800 Acres Grain Near Ilo.

A heavy rain and hail storm swep
about 8 miles west of lilo at 5 IL
Monday evening and laid waste
some 800 acres of fine grain, on
which the owners had just started
cutting operations.
The hail pelted the fields intensely
for about five minutes, bea' ing the
heads of the ripened grain into the
ground. 1t is estimated that so per
cent of the grain on the area covered
was destroyed and not over 25 per
cent of this was protected by in
sura nee.
Those hardest hit by the disaster
are, F. M Randall, w. w. Randall,
II. C.. Randall, L. R. Randall, J.
M. Austell, Thomas Brothers, R. A
Damrose, A. M. Alexander and
Chas Swendish.
The rain storm which seemed
pretty general over the western and
southern parts of the Nezp -rce and
Camas prairies about this time, did
some minor damage in other sections,
but it seemed to vent its greatest
fury in the territory between lilo
and Winchester. The Nezperce
section received only light sprinkle
the clouds forming over Cottonwood
Butte breaking and passing to the
west and south before reaching this
far.

edna DAVIS-STOUT
SUICIDES AT OROFINO
Ill Health Drives Former Popular Nez-
perce Young Woman to Sad End

Orofno, Aug. IL Mrs. R. L.
Stuot, of Kellogg, ended her life to-
day at the o. S. Loseth ranch, 16
miles north of Orohno, by drinking
carbolic acid. She had been in i'll
health for some time and it is be-
lieved her ailment had resulted in
temporary mental alteration. The
body was brought to Orofno this
evening and will be sent to Spokane
for interment.
Mrs. Stout and her husband ar
rived in Orofno last evening from
Kellogg and Immediately proceeded
to the Loseth rancn where Mrs.
Stout was to spend several weeks for
the benefit of her health. Before
her marriage she was engaged
in teaching and was aoquaint-
ed with large number of people in
the Clearwater and prairie sections.
1t is stated she appeared to be
quite cheerful this morning and bad
her husband goodbye but short
time before she drank the acid. He
was en- route to Oroino to return to
Kellogg when the deed was COM
mitted and was met by the physician
who had been summoned by tele.
phone and returned to the Loseth
ranch. Mrs. Stout drank the acid
about l l o'clock and was dead in an
hour.
It seems she and Mrs. Loseth had
been friends for several years and
the two women were about the house
ogether during the early forenoon.
Mrs. Stout was left alone in room
for a few minutes and when Mrs.
Loseth returned, she found her suf-
fering from carbolic acid poisoning
and near her on the floor was the
empty bottle from which the acid
had been taken. It is stated she had
orooded over her illness for some
ime and her actions had caused her
husband to fear that she would at
Tempt violence upon herself. For
his reason she had been quietly
but she eluded suspicion by
the acid in bottle labeled
The victim of this sad tragedy
was formerly Miss Edna Davis and

ler parents, G. O. Davis, in Nez-
oerce, and later in 1908-a few
months after her mothers death re-

where he was engaged in the hard
ware business. Mr.. Davis was in
he employee of the Mockler & Miller
hardware firm here and built the

Will BE REBUILT
Concrete and Better Frame Buildings to
Replace the Business Sectio
Burned Thursday Night

81 Erb Brothers, the we'll known mer-
u chants of the Clearwater section, who
were the heaviest losers in the fire
which almost obliterated the busy
& little town of Greer last Thursday
night, erected a 24x30 foot tent
Monday on the site of their store and
on Tuesday received large stock
of goods and at cnce opened up for
4 business, and will continue in this
wise until their new concrete store
building is ready for occupancy.
Matt Erb, manager of the Greer
branch, is now in Spokane to secure
plans and figures on large concrete
structure.
Alex Brice, who operated the
Greer hotel, the second of the thir-
teen buildings swept away by the
flames, is preparing to open restau-
rant to supply the place of his hotel
until a new building is completed for
the hostelry, work on the foundation
of which is now under way.
VIM. Warner, who lost his black
smith shop and residence, already
has the foundation in for larger
and better smithy.
The debris is being cleared away
for other buildings, and in the mean
time, Chas. Stencil, in whose livery
barn the fire started is using an old
building for his business. The post
Office is in a little 12x14 structure,
temporarily thrown together. The
phone system, which is owned locally,
has not yet made provision for an
office, though it is thought a building
will soon be erected for it.
The following is the first news
paper account sent out regarding the
fire.
Greer, Aug. 12-The entire busi-
ness district of Greer was wiped out |
by fire TO- night, entailing loss esti-
mated at from SOS 900 to $50, 900,
with only small percentage of the
property covered by insurance. The
fire started at 8:45 o'clock in the
livery stable conducted by Charles
Stencil and within an hour eight
buildings were in ashes. The fire
continued to sweep the business dis
trict until it burned itself out and
resulted in the total destruction of
13 buildings.
The cause of the fire is unknown
but it is believed to have resulted
from combustion of clover
hay that had been stored in the
livery stable but few minutes be-
fore the fire was discovered but with
the first break of the flames the en-
tire building was on fire. The hotel
conducted by Alex Brice adjoined
the livery stable and the destruction
of this building quickly followed
