There is a way TO put your

the dollar yourself. Ask the man

and fair and throughout the day
all nature smiled, and the popu-
lace of Nezperce came forth spick
and span to smile back at the
beautiful universe and its Crea-
tor. Special services were held at
each Of the four churches and
each had an unusually large con-
grcgation for the occasion.
At the Methodist church where
new blown potted plants gave
freshness aud sweetness to the
scene, the regular Sunday school
and preaching service were re-
placed by an excellent program of
music and recitations conducted
by the Sunday school pupils and
their teachers and concluded with
an appropriate address by the
pastor, Rev. 4. H. Fertig.

An 10 correspondent to The
Lewiston Tribune gives the public
the benefit Of his political horo-
scope thusly:
Already the candidates have be-
gun TO stir the dry leaves. Sena-
tor Kaline and Judge Roberts
were the only county officers the
republicans put over two years
ago, although a large per cent of
them would have landed. it is
said, had they received their party
vote in Winchester preeinct-and
this makes the game worth the
contest.
OF the county officers elected
by the democrats It is understood
that neither of the present CON-
missioners, the treasurer nor the
school superintendent viii seek re-
election. For state senator, friends
of F. II. DeAtley are insisting that
he should have the first right to
try again for the honor. p. ".

c. Pennell are also mentioned for
this honor. For state representa-

say that Assessor Ratliff can have

tific attraction anywhere. We
have travelled more or less during
the past twenty years and have
been in many Of the much adver-
tised beauty spots and resorts of

that not one 81 them can compare
with Knmiah at this time. No
where can be found a community
with a more beautiful setting, rich
soil, a slightly location. a magni-
ficenf mountain river, verdure
clad hills snrmounted with trees

tormingling with the whites are
found the original Americans, or
Indians, with their picturesque

ture. Since coming here we have
often thought that had the man-
agcment Of some Of the large film

would not now be the center Of

cation for combining art with ma

STATE WILL REST
ORPE7 CASE TODAY

WAUKEGAN, ILL.,, June 22-The
state expected to conclude its evidence
today in the case of Will Orpet, Uni.
versity OF Wisconsin student, on trial
for the murder of Marian Lambert, by
driving home the blow that would
make such an impression on the jury
that nothing that might follow from
the defense would have any effect on
the minds of the twelve men.
This blow was concealed in the
batch of love letters that Orpet wrote
his school girl sweetheart, and which
have been in the possession of the
court ever since they were turned
over by the girls father. There were
sixty more of these mssives and their
reading will probably take up most of
the days session.
