Will Address jefferson Club
Banquet April 13.
OTHER LEADERS IDAHO DEMOC-
RACY EXPECTED TO ATTEND.
Talk of County Comm ttee Meeting for
April 6, But Call Has Not Yet Been
Issued.

Governor Moses Alexander has ac-
cepted an invitation to be present at
the Jefferson-day celebration and
banquet in this city April 13, and
other speakers of note in the state
Democracy are expected. Judge Law
renee Hansen of Hansen, president,
and Representative A. r. Hicks of
Twin Falls, secretary. of the Jeffer-
son club are busy arranging a pro-
gram for the occasion, which they
hope will get all the members of the
Democratic party into line for work.
There is talk of a meeting of the
Democratic committee for April 6, LJ.
this has not been finally determined
on, according to Secretary Taylor
Cummins, upon whom the work of the
committee mainly devolves since the
removal of Chairman ]. W. Porter to
Shoshone. The committee will have
much to do about preparing for the
sending of delegates to Pocatello, in
the event that a primary is call I'd,
or the selecting of the delegates in
the event that primary is not called
fer Twin Falls county. Democrats
are all united in one thing, and that
is in saying a good word for the work
of the present committee. Many of
them desired to show their apprecia-
ton by getting up a petition for Sec
retary Cummins when the announce
ment of Probate Judge Shank's pro-
posed retirement was made, but Mr..
Cummins declined to allow any petit
tion to be filed in his behalf when
the name of Judge Dan T. Welty was
mentioned.

R0GERSON man KILLS
HIMSELF IN THIS CITY
Sends Bullet Through Brain in Fit OF
DespOndency-Wa Well Liked and
His Act Was Surprise.

w. II. Smith, dry-claim farmer OF
Rogerson, evidently in a fit of de-
spondency, sent bullet through his
brain, in his room at the Laclede
rooms in this city, Monday morning
about 10 o'clock. He died an hour
later without recovering conscious
ness. Smith came to town Saturday
and took room at the Laclede. There
was nothing unusual in his conduct
and Sunday evening he spoke about
the weather to the proprietor, ]. NJ.
Mccullough. Monday morning Mr..
and Mrs Mccullough heard noise
like the breaking of transom and,
though they thought nothing of it at
first, the snoring proceeding from the
room caused an investigation, when
the body was found lying on the floor
by an overturned couch. Medical aid
was summoned and the police officers
notified. The dying man sank grad
ually to death, however, in spite of
everything that could be done.
A note found in his checkbook say
ing that his horses could be found at
the galvanized iron barn seemed to
indicate that he had planned the deed,
but it was later learned that this note
was written for another purpose, when
he was in town with his team moro
than week before, and that he had
no horses with him when he came
here Saturday. His brother John c..
Smith, who has an adjoining claim,
six miles from Rogerson, arrived in
town Monday afternoon. He said that
his brother had been despondent in
spells lately, by reason of lack OF
money and of work, but that he had
not supposed him to be in desperate
state of mind The dead man was 80
years of age and was well liked by
all who knew him.

COMMISSIONERS IN AIR
OVER WELTY ATTITUDE
Hope to Induce Him to Recall Tenta-
tive Refusal-New Men in the
Field for Place.

"The Board of commissioners are
in the air as a result of word from
Judge Dan T. Welty of Castleford in
dicating that he is likely to refuse TO
accept the position of probate judge,
on account of age and failing health" ="
said Chairman Carlson today, "hut
we hope to induce him to accept the
place, notwithstanding his evident dis
position to refuse it. We had his
consent before we appointed him and
hope he will take the position. In the
event that he shall persist in his re-
fusal, l assume that several excellent
men mentioned, who withdrew in his
favor, will again be candidates. 1 also
hear that a petition is being circr-
lated in behalf of Police Judge w
]. Smith of this city, and / learn
that many are in favor of Arthur W
Ostrom of Buhl. In view of this, it
would be impossible at this time to
make any forecast as to the probable
action of the board, if it cannot in
duce Judge Welty to take the place .

MEXICO NOT EXCITING
EAST SAYS |. B. PERRINf
head Of Electric Road Says People
Are Making Money and Trust Will
son to Handle Matter.

That the people of the east are TAX
ing relatively little interest in the
Mexican situation, and convinced that
President Wilson will handle the sit
uation satisfactorily, are devoting
their energies to making money, is
the impression received by l. B. Per-
rine, who returned Monday from a
trip to Chicago Mr.. Perrine said that
everyone was busy wherever he went
and that confidence and prosperity
" ere going hand in hand He added
that the weather was an abomination,
that he struck storm at Salt Lake
City going and did not see good day
until he reached that city on his way
home, and that last Friday in Chicago
was the worst winter day he had ever
experienced.
Asked in regard to the Castleford
railroad and the west-end develop
ment projects, Mr. Perrine said that
he had nothing to give out. He was
equally reticent with reference to the
attitude of the east relative to an op-
ponent for President Wilson, saying
Lhat he was not in politics and that
so many things would likely happen
before the convention that a guess
would be worthless.

WATERWORKS SYSTEM
ORDINANCE PASSED
City Clerk TO Be WaterwOrks Clerk
and Street Commissioner Will Be

sion last night and passed the ordi-
nance providing for the organization

authorized to retain the present SUI
perintendent for 30 days at his pres
ent salary to give needed suggestions
to his successor. AS far as possible,
present employees will be retained. For
the present all rates and rules in
force in the old company will be put

Owing to the absence of Councilman
Bobier, the matter of railroad cross
ings on Shoshone street and on Sec
ond avenue were left on the table.
City Engineer Bybee, having been
called to Idaho Falls by the death of
relative, and there being some ques-
ton as to what day he would return.
City Attorney Herriott was authorized
to secure a competent engineer to
make certain surveys necessary in the
final taking over of the waterworks
The city attorney was also author
lied to take steps to have an alley
condemned in Elm Park addition for
the purpose of installing a sewer. City
Plumbing Inspector Chambers report
ed that, owing to misrepresentation
arising from the impression that the
wall of the engine room of the new
Episcopal parish hall was to be the
wall of the building itself, the sewer
there was put in in a state where
it was in technical violation of the
ordinance, being buried to a depth Of
seven feet and the building erected
over it before anybody discovered th'
mistake. The council decided to lool
into the matter before giving a dc
cision. The replatting of the Senio
addition, laid over from the last coun
ell meeting, was allowed The council
then adjourned to meet tomorrow
morning at 10 o'clock

ent personally. The board discussed
the whole subject at some length and
spent some time on the proposition
to cut the acreage to $4,000, in ac-
cordance with the recommendations
of State Engineer Smith. The board
passed a resolution that no proposed
reduction, if carried out, should af-
feet agricultural operations this year.

Hall to endeavor to have the company
make cruise of the project with a
view of ascertaining the cost of reduc-
ing the acreage to the amount recon
mended by the state engineer. The
board appointed the governor, state
auditor and state superintendent as a
committee to investigate the matter
further No further definite action
was taken at the meeting.

OLIVER MEETINGS
END SUCCESSFULLY
Large Crowds and Many DeCi-
SiOnS Are In Evidence.
OF PARTY REMEM-
BERED WITH PRESENTS.
Entire Harmony Prevailed Among De-
nominations Concerned Mrs. Nor
veil win Return.

With all the ministers and members
of the four denominations interested
united harmoniOusly in praising the
work; with 1170 decisions in Twin
Falls and rs on the outside; with Of
ferings by the people for all con-
cerned, of which the largest was a
purse of $2500 for the evangelist, the
meetings conducted here for several
weeks by DR.. French E. Oliver and
party came to a successful close Sun
day night DR.. Oliver declared tha.
the meeting was amofg the very best
ever held in the northwest. The
meetings will be followed by the
formal entry of new members into
the four churches repTesented-the
Baptist, Brethren, Methodist and Pres
byterian.
From the very beginning the meet
ings attracted the attention of the
surrounding country and excursion
trains were run from both directions.
The singing and the work by all mem
bers of the party were greatly praised,
and nothing but enconiums have been
heard from local workers who had to
do with the revival. 1t was noted
that the tearing down of the seats
and place for orchestra and choir
after the meeting was done by thos
who refused to help erect them.
The last sermon delivered by DR..
Oliver was on the subject, What Is
HELP" The evangelist takes the odd
time" view of the matter and believes
that it is literally place of burning
fire. He says that there is plenty of
room in the universe for such place.
The heat of the sun is $500 degrees
Fahrenheit, and the star Sirius is 5000
times as hot as the sun.
Mrs Norvell will be in the city
to hold night meetings from April 9
to 23. She will hold the meetings in
the churches of the four denomina-
tions that put on the meetings.
