and big crowd gather, and that
Kramer rode up and cut him with the
whip without proyocation.
Kramer on his own behalf said he
was surrounded by hostile crowd of
80 or 40 in which were half dozen
soldiers, and discharged soldiers, in
civilian clothes.
Same Men at Cutting.
These men we're the same who later
attacked and stabbed Henry Carter on
Fort street, Kramer said, as he saw
them in the crowd and arrested them
after the stabbing. He said he used
his whip, which was given him to con-
troll mobs with, because they were
threatening him.
One man struck my horse in the
nose and | was slashing at him"
Kramer said.
Chairman Andrews told Kramer that
whether he was hitting at the crowd
to dispense ii, or hitting at man in
anger because the man had hit his
horse was vital point. Kramer an
swered that he was hitting at the
man because he was a ringleader and
he wanted to drive him out of the
crowd. He said he did not know he
had struck Amundsen until the latter
told him about itilater.
Other witnesses who agreed with
Kramer in the view of the occurrence
were Mike John Ginns, engineer on
harbor boat Pvt. Ernest Holnagie, End
Infantry, Pvt Bert Lewis. End Infan.
try, and Pvt Francis NJ. Haislett, End
Infantry. Policemen Barboza and Ma

For one year the schools
of Idaho have been under the
operation of the state board
of education, and according
to the boards annual report a
spirit of cooperation, "a
working together for the
good of the whole state rather
than for the good of one sec
ton or school, is found
everywhere present among
those who occupy positions of
responsibility in the educa-
tional system of the state. "
By all it is felt that the new
system has indicated itself.
With the single exception OF
having two heads to the sys-
tenn instead of but one as
was intended when it
was adopted, Idaho probably
now has one of the most per
feet state educational systems
in the union.

SCHOOL NOTES.

Vacation, the long looked for
season, is over, and all is going on
according to schedule once more.
The first semester of work ends
next week, and examinations are
therefore at hand. When they are
over, work will probably be begun
on the school play, Back to the
Farm" which is to be the third
number of the Lyceum Course.
At this time half a dozen of the
high school pupils are hard at
work on their speeches, classifying
and arranging material, for the
debates which will be held with
Post Falls under the auspices OF
the Tri-County Debating League.
This league includes the schools
of Kootenai, Shoshone, and 9ene-
wah counties. Rathdrum will
have both a negative and an
affirmative team, and will hold two
debates on the same evening, Feb.
4,-one at Post Falls, and one
here. Considerable interest has
been manifested over this work,
and the high school is expecting to
have two well-prepared teams.

COUGHING AND SPLITTING.
The Way Disease Is Spread and How
IL Could Be Avoided.

The Way Disease Is Spread and How
II Could Be Avoided.
The dangerous and dirty habit of
careless splitting, coughing and sneez-
ing is without doubt the most costly
,arelessness that civilized society in,
dulges In. The saying, mo spit. no
consumption" is literally true. ami this
means that consumption would be
largely avoided If this habit could be
abolished
1t has been shown by careful scien-
tiflc experiments that In the act of
coughing or sneezing, unless hand
kerchief or other object is held in front
of the nose and mouth, microscopic
particles of saliva and nasal secretion
are discharged into the air in which,
even in quiet room, may be carried
distance of from ten to fifty yards
from the place where they were ex.
PEELED Many of these droplets can be
seen If one will cough or sneeze In
front of mirror or window pane
Most of them. however, are too small
to be visible to the naked eye. One
can now readily understand how very
lmpolite 1t is to cough or sneeze with
out holding n handkerchief in front of
his face. for such n person literally
splits on objects and people, perhaps on
food. within distance of from ten to
fifty yards about him.
The germs of tuberculosis, diphtheria
and perhaps grip, colds, pneumonia,
whooping cough measles and scarlet
fever are conveyed through expectora-
ton. Many perfectly healthy people
not suffering from the disease carry
the germs of pneumonia and dlphtheria
and other contagious diseases in their
mouths and throats. II becomes nee
essary that not only recognizably sick
people shall desist from careless spit
ting, but that the apparently well. who
may be germ carriers" should also
be careful In expectorating.
Towns and cities should make their
anti-spitting laws more than jokes
AS n matter of fact. they should not
pass such an ordinance until they are
ready to enforce it. From a health
point of view anti-spitting ordinances
are not to be lightly regarded. They
should be serious laws, and the viola.
tfon of them should be made more than
joke
