HOLLOWEEN PARTY
HELD IN GUILD HALL
ENTERTAINER
GIVEN LAST NIGHT FOR
MOSCOW YOUNG FOLKS

Last evening one of the prettiest
parties of the season for the younger
people was held at Guild hall. The
hall was most ingeniously and ap-
propriately decorated. Long stream
ers of crepe paper of yellow and black
were festooned from the quaint Hal
lowe'en lanterns, which shaded the
lights, the stage, for the three piece
university orchestra which furnished
the music for dancing. was unique in
an old time garden fence, with Jack
o'lanterns on the gate posts with
corn stalks and autumn leaves to
complete the picture. Grotesque bats,
cats and witches added to the scene.
The gallery was the Gypsy's corner
for fortune telling. The little Misses
Margaret Martin and Marjorie Drew
served the cider punch and dough-
nuts from the original barrel with
tin mugs. The eleven hostesses, the
Misses Margaret Collins, Mildred Col
Inns, AIyce Cameron, Joe Keane, Mar
jorie Robbins, Bernice Day, Esther
Morris, Elizabeth Thatcher, Louisa
Martin, Dorothy Parsens and Avis
Drew, were cunningly gowned as
dominoes and in thier black costumes
and white pompoms were easily dis
tinguished in the gay crowd. The
other young women wore dresses rep
resenting Gypsy, Yama Yama, Span
ish dancer, Turkish women, a jester,
and many variations of the Hallow-
cen ideas and striking colors.
The patronesses and patrons, Mr.
and Mrs. L. F. Parsons, Mrs R. Not
tsger, Mr.. and Mrs. C. W. Hickman
and Mr.. j. J. Day gave dignity and
chapronage to the most delightful
occasion.
During the evening H. Hamer took
several flash lights of the pretty
scene.

been strictly enforced, the sales or
ganization built up. Over fifteen
thousand more resident licenses have
already been sold by this bureau than
was sold for the entire year of 1918.
Thirteen professional boards, with
thirteen secretaries and executives,
were abolished under the new system
and the work of licensing placed in
the bureau of license. Committees
are called in to conduct examinations
from time to time, but all the ad-
ministrative work is now taken care
of by this bureau.
"The constabulary is new thing
for this state. This force is not the
usual mounted police, as in Pennsyl-
vania, but it is composed of small
force of well trained men, and has
potential power in an emergency. The
peace officers over the state are sub
ject to general supervision of this
force. In the enforcement of the auto
mobile license laws alone this con-
stabulary force has more than taken
care of it's 1918 expenses. 1t has been
called in for service in many parts
of the state; has enforced the liquor
laws, policed the state fairs and has
assisted in settling several range
wars between cattle and sheep men
in southern Idaho. believe the state
constabulary has proven an efficient
state police agency in the enforcement
of law"

ESTER D|GCLES DENIES SHE
IS WIFE OF HORACE ]. M|LEHAM

In the language of the novel writer
"the plot thickens." Esther Mileham,
enrolled in the University of Californ-
la at Berkeley as Esther Diggles, de-
nies that she is the wife of Horace J.
Mileham, who, for love Of her, at
tempted suicide by shooting here
yesterday morning. But she is the
wife of the would-be suicide, as shown
by a marriage certificate found
among his personal effects at the
home of S. P. Hall, 821 West Sixth
street, where Mileham has roomed
since coming to Moscow.
Were Married August 15-
The certificate was issued by A. M.
Lamb, justice of the peace for Farm
ington City, Davis county, Utah, and
certifies that on August Is, 1919, in
the presence of Seth P. Jones and
Leonard Drimley he united in tho
holy bonds of matrimony according to
the laws of the state of Utah, Horace
J. Mileham and Esther Diggles, both
of Salmon City, Idaho. Among the
papers were found two letters written
by the bride to her husband in which
she signed her name Esther Mile
ham,"
The Star-Mirror sent the story Of
the attempted suicide to the San
Francisco Examiner, together with
the address of the bride, 2721 Chan
ming Way, Berkeley, California. A few
hours later the San Francisco Ex-
aminer wired: "Girl denies the story.
Are you sure of the marriage" The,
San Francisco paper was given copy
of the marriage certificate and its
correspondent at Berkley was again
sent to intervieY the bride who de-
MED her marriage to the man who
had attempted to take his life for
love of her. The result of the second
interview has not been received here.
Coroner Talked to Mileham.
Glen Grice, county coroner, was
notified that "a. man has killed him
self on West Sixth street." and order
ing the 'dead wagon" to go there he
started on foot to the scene. Meeting
Boyde Cornelison and some others he
was told that the man was not dead
and sent word to Neeley's barn to
bring the ambulance instead of the
dead wagon" and proceeded to the
scene of the shooting. He found Mile
ham lying on the walk with large
revolver beside him and asked if it
was an accident Mileham replied:
ut wasn't an accident Asked if he
had attempted to take his own life,
the wounded man replied: 81 sure
did," and then asked s'Cant you give
me something to stop this awful
pain?" He was assured that the am
oulance was coming and he would BE-
cared for, and he refused to talk
further about the case.

SWEDISH LUTHERANS
HONOR THEIR PASTOR
CONGREGATION SURPRISE REV.
JOHN E. OSLUND WITH A
CHECK FOR 1900.

DR.. Jno. E. Oslund, pastor of the
Swedish Lutheran church, was pleas
Antly surprised last evening by his
congregation in magnificent man
ner. The congregation gathered at
Z 500 o'clock in the church to listen
to young peoples program. The
pastor was unaware that any other
plan was harbored in the minds of
his parisheners, while they had come
to the church this particular evening
with more than one purpose. I'M
mediately as the program closed DR..
Oslund was asked to be seated, as
the members of the church wished to
say few words to him. Rev. F.. 1.
Schmidt, in behalf of the congrega-
ton, told the pastor the reason for
their being assembled this particular
evening, namely that of showing to
him the great appreciation they have
of the work he has done and is doing
in their midst and also the great re-
gard they have for him as their lead
er in the church He was then pre-
sented with check for over 81 10000
as a token of their friendship and
regardsfor him. A reception was then
rendered DR.. Os1und and family in the
church parlors.
DR.. Oslund came to take up his
work in this city two years ago.
Under his leadership the congregation
has become well organized and
powerful force in the community. He
is a man of strong drawing person
atty, highly gifted and of great intel
lectual attainments, having received
his Doctors degree in Philosophy and
Theology besides holding other de-
grees. This, together with deep
spiritual insight into the great truths
of christianity and his vast experience
In the various spheres of life. make
him the force he is in the church. He i

SECRETARY OF STATE
IS MOSCOW VISITOR
ROBERT O. JONES, GRADUATE
OF UNIVERSITY OF IDAHO,
IS IN THE CITY

Robert o. Jones, secretary of state
and commissioner of law enforcement,
is in Moscow this week looking after
matters affecting his la reinforcement
duties. He expects to return to Boise
Sunday. In speaking of the depart
ment of law enforcement and the new
cabinet system in the state, Mr.. Jones
had the following to say:
The new Idaho cabinet system of
state government is working in sat-
isfactory manner. To some extent it
is based on the Illinois plan, but in
many particulars it represents a new
and progressive departure. Something
like fifty boards have been abolished
and the widely scattering bureaus and
departments consolidated under nine
commissioners State business has
been greatly expedited, red tape and
delay eliminated and the operation
under the new plan shows economy.
II have the department of lay on
forcement and am responsible for the
three bureaus, fish and game, license
and constabulary. At the present rate
of expenditure in this department
probably not less than fifty thousand
dollars of the appropriation will be
returned into. the general fund at the
end of the biennium.
The fish and game bureau has been
placed on a strictly business basis; the
laws looking to the conservation of
the fish and game in the state have

IS man of conviction and fearlessly
stands upon the principles of truth
regardless Of the passing whims and
fanc1es of men. This has won for
him a vast host of friends in the com
munity and especially among his own
people. The congregation is to be
congratulated upon having a leader
as DR.. Oslund.
Great credit must be given this
church for what they have done in
so generously supporting their pastor
in so many different ways. In the
last two years they have given him
gifts amounting to over S17OO, be-
sides the moral support they have
given him. This amount they have
raised only among their own member
ship without any donations from the
outside. "What is worth doing at all
is worth doing well" seems to be the
rule which is followed by them. This
shows the great interest they. have in
their church and also in the man who
stands as their leader.

WASHINGTON STATE
APPORT|ONS FUEL
DEALERS WILL PROTECT THOSE
WITH SMALL COAL SUP
| PLIES DURING STRIKE

SEATTLE, Wash.-Action was ta
ken today by the Washington Fue
Dealers Association that practically
returns the industry to the wartime
rationing basis, to protect the public
from the danger of possible fuel
famine and to equitably distribute
the small supply of coal on hand, ac-
cording to W. B. Monks, president of
the association.
State of Washington citizens who
have supply on hand, are urged not
to attempt to fill their bins with the
entire winters supply in view of the
critical situation exising. There are
thousands of families who have no
places to store coal and are obliged to
buy it in small quantities and if the
people who are financially able to
fill large store rooms continue to
the small supply available, there is
certain to be suffering on a large
scale, Mr.. Monks asserted.
Faced by the eminent probability of
nation wide coal strike and the i'm
coal dealers with scarcely a week s
supply on hands, will sell only to
those who are absolutely destitute of
coal, if they follow the appeal made
through Mr. Monks office. Thousands
of citizens paid no heed to the inten-
sive advertising campaign conducted
by fuel dealers and producers during
the summer months urging the citi-
zenship to store up the winters fuel
supply when fuel could be had, Mr..
Monks said. Now, the fuel dealers
are going to do their best to protect
these citizens despite their laxity, and
will distribute the coal to those with
out fuel as equitably as possible.
The. fuel situation is critical, even
though the miners remain on the job,
Mr.. Monks declared, as the output is
below normal and it is question of
keeping the immediate demands of
the people met.
During the past few days coal deal
ers have been swamped with orders
for coal. There has been an eleventh
hour rush to fill coal bins before the
strike and it will be physical i'm
possibility to fill all of the orders that
Monk said. The dealers have been
urged by the Seattle association to
use their Judgment in filling orders
with the view of carrying the existing
supply to the largest number of peo-
pie possible.
With the failure of the coal sup
ply, people must turn to wood as a
substitute and steps are being taken
by many dealers to use their institu-
tions to secure wood in the event of a
complete cessation of coal production.
A QUESTIONABLE recently was ad-
dressed to all Seattle coal dealers to
determine the existing condition in
the industry and what steps might be
taken to care for the demands. for fuel
during the coming weeks .sE'ss@

Mileham Wants to Eat

Horace J. Mi1eham, who shot him
self with suicidal intent yesterday, is
resting well, has no temperature and
his general condition is much improv-
ed. He asked for something to eat to-
day and declared he is hungry. He
says he had eaten nothing for five
days prior to shooting himself, as he
was so badly worried over his wife's
actions DR.. Adair permitted him to
have some broth but will not permit
him to have solid food for several
days. DR.. Adair is quite hopeful that
Mileham may recover as his wound
is not much, if any worse than the
wound Mileham received in the Ar
gonne forest when he had a large
part OF one leg and hip shot away.
