His sisters were assaulted and carried off by Moore Many feats of heroism both by Prenoh and Spanish sailors are re counted. Further particulars of the bom bardment of Casa Blanca show that when Admiral Philibert's squadron arrived off that port the armored orulsers Condeand Qlolre bombraded the forts of the oity, while the Jeanne d'Aro shelled the Arab qnar w As soon as the foreign legion landed the gates were battered down, the soldiers took possession of the ramparts and the streets were cleared by the infantry by the use of rapid fire gun.

An action has been filed in the district oourt at Rathdrum for the purpose of quieting the title to a tract of land 300 feet square, located directly across the river from the St. Joe hotel at St. Joe. Several years ago J. R. Glover and wife, the plaintiffs in the action, gave a deed to this tract to Birdie E. Wright and her husband and Law erenoe Maloney on condition that 13000 worth of improvements be placed thereon. This was done with the purpose in view of increasing the value of the property and to start a townsite. The defendants failed to make the required improvement with in the specified time and in this way things have been permitted to run. Meanwhile the Chicago Milwaukee k St. Paul railroad constructed a road through this tract, securing deeds from the Wrights and Malon ney through the company's agents, Flewelling and Fralick. The com pany now claims the land under its deed and Glover who olaims that Wright and Maloney failed to oornply with the oontraot, asks that title be quieted in him and a temporary re straining order be granted pending further litigation. The tract is in the new town of St. Joe and contains 300 feet of water front. It is valued at about $4500 and will probably be in the mill site. street, where he looked In every di rection and being amazed at the rash of business and the oity appear - anoe. he inquired for Sprague ave nne. no one could Inform him of its location. He was not discouraged by the apparent ignorance and was bent on locating bis friends of that street. After reaching the Wiggett block, he stopped at Keller k Ditti more's and inquired again for tbe street, which they could not locate in Coenr d'Alene, it dawned upon them that he was looking for a street in Spokane, when be exclaimed. "Well is this not Spokane? I thought 1 was in Spokane." If Coeur d'Alene people apprecist ed tbeir town as mnch as strangeis do, it might soon rival Spokane. BIG LOGGING TRAIN Has 105 Cars and Over 1,000, 000 Feet of Log's J. T. Sullivan has in his possession a photograph of a logging train on the Washington, Idaho k Montana railway, which is nnique from tbe fact that tbe train consisted cf 105 flat can carrying over 1,000,000 feet of logs and was almost a mile in length. The photo was taken from a bill at the heed of the tnin which is drawn by engine No- 21. This is tbe road tbe oonatrnotion of which Mr- Ballivan superintended. I),, ABRAHAM LINCOLN. The sixteenth president of the United States was born In Lame county, Ky., in 1809 and was assassinated by John Wilkes Booth at Washington April 14, 18*15, shortly after beginning his second term as president. He prac ticed law for many years at Springfield, 111., and served one term In congress. He was the first successful candidate of the new Republican party. Lincoln's great work was the preservation of the Union by defeating the Confederacy In a four years' war, an Incident of which was his proclamation of emancipa tion for all slaves and the final settlement of the slavery problem by elimina tion. STRIKE IS SPREADING Chicago, Aug, 10.—Following the lead of tbe telegraphers employed by the Western Union company in Chicago, tbe telegraphers in nine other oities throughout tbe United States qnit work. The 500 men em ployed by the Postal Telegraph com pany in Chicago, who belong to the same local as tbe Western Union men, and who declare that condition* with the Postal company are unsatisfactory, took advantage of the situation and quit last night at 6 o'olook. With the walkout of the Postal employes Chicago Is left with about 35 telegraphers endeavoring to transmit the business of both tele graph companies, where, under nor mal conditions, fully 1500 men are uecessary to do tbe work. The other Western Union offloes which become involved in tbe trouble today, together with tbe number of men who quit work, are: Salt Lake Oity, 36; Helena, 40; Kansas City, 330; Dallas, 105; Fort Worth, 40; Colorado Springs, 10. and Denver, 83. In New Orleans the men employed by the Postal Telegraph company left their keys to enforce demands made on tbe company several weeks ago. Tbe general situation had cleared somewhat, and where earlier In the day it appeared as if tbe strike of the commercial men would be universal over tbe United States the indica tions now are that no further strikes will occur, for tbe presant'at least. Under orders from National President Small of tbe telegraphers' organiza iou, National Secretary Russell tele gapbed the secretaries of the various locals throughout the oountry to keep tbeir men at work until they reoeiv ed further orders. Mr. Russel, when asked for an explanation of this ac tion, said: "We don't want to use up all our amuniticn in one charge."' UNIVERSITY BUILDINGS Institution to be Greater Than Before the Fire. Moscow, Idaho, Aug. 9.—A visit to the Univenity of Idaho grounds shows great activity in the building line. Tbe basement and foundation of the half million-dollar adminin istration building are rapidly ap proaching completion. It is hoped that the concrete work will all be fin ished before wet weather seta in. Tbe greenhouse and horticultural building have been changed into a conservatory of mnsic for the depart ment headed by Professor I. N. Cogs well. Since the fire the masio de partment has been greatly band! capped, thare being recitation, prac tice and piano rooms in no less than four different buildings. Tbe horticultural department has been moved to tbe third story of Merrill hall, the new agricultural building, while a fine new green house is being constructed near tbe ball. This will centralize the work of this department. ^ The third story of Morrill hall is being finished and will be used tor several years for university work proper. All the classes now reciting in the basement of tbe gymnasium and armory will be transferred to Morrill hall, as will, also, the li brary. Tbe foundation is being laid fur a new experimental flouring mill with which to teat ail varitiea of wheat as to the flour-production and bread making qualities. This mill is the third to be erected io tbe United States, the other tvo being at Fargo, N. D., and Minneapolis. Minn. The mill will have three complete sets of tollers. Twenty thousand pounds of machinery have been or dered for this mill, which includes a 20-horsepower motor for driving power. In tbe basement of tbis mill Pro feasor Henderson will have a plan for conducting experiments in the mau ofaoture of frait by-products. Tbe tremendous yearly loss in fruits of ail kinds baa for several years been only too evident. Professor Hender son demonstrates that vinegar, cid er. jelly and other food products can be profitably manufactured. He will install a 40-horse power evaporator, besides a grinder, a press and other minor apparatus. All the machinery in tbis department will be driven by a hydraulic ram. It is not tbe In tention to make this s commercial mill, bat simply experimental. How ever, the snrpulus will be marketed. The size of the building is 16 by 41. two stories high. The three-acre sits has just been acquired at a price of $500 an acre. Plans are being perfected for a gi gantic oentral boating plant, which will warm all of the building in the university group. !t is expected that this will be under way within a year. Tbe new creamery in Morrill hall is now in sooeeeful operation. It is under tbe management of J. H. Fran dson of Ames. Iowa. Professor French, director of tbe experiment station and farm, asys that tbe purpose of this plant is two fold: (is Educa tional—Here will be given a complete year's oonrse In theoretical dairying.

It was learned that two men visited the Metropole market and urged Fred Bnthwell, hi charge, to order the Bell telephone removed and claimed that other markets had agreed to the proposition. At the Coeur d'Alene market it was learned the visitors had also called and made a similar effort. No one had been at the Ida ho market. E. Bjorkluud was seen and stated there was a strong effort being made to have the Rooky Mountain Bell telephones removed. J. W. Fisher, of the Interstate, was seen and stated he knew nothing whatsoever about it. Just who is back of tbe proposition is not certain. It is supposed by those approached that tbe union la back of it, however this has not bean verified. No on* approached has admitted he intended to remove tbs telephones of th* Bell oompsny, al though soma said they wonld, provid ed other business men did so. Some were favorable to the proposition. Superintendent K. E- Hart when seen. stated: "1 am not aware that any of the business men of Coenr d'Alene are comtemplating the diaeoantinuace of service from our eompauy in order to show tbeir sympathy with the cans* of the striking employees and have heard nothing to thaf"affSit. If any of oar subscribers are being solicited with this purpose in view it is no more than proper that they should be fully iuformed os to tbe situation. "Wbeu the strike was declared by the linemen in Utah it was done in violation of an agreement they bod with tbe company and which the company considered in force till May 1st, 1908, and by striking they vlr tually broke this agreement. In Coeur d'Alene the men left their work without giving any notice what ever of their intention or even sub mitting their demands to me, a step that would be considered decidedly unfair by any employer. They evi dently realized this afterwards for three days after they had gone on tbe strike a committee waited on me and officially informed me that they had gone out, upon which they were offered the union scale ot wages it they would return to work. This scale of wages is identical with that paid hy the other companies in this part of the oountry and is still being offiered. It is $3.50 per day for I j 1 SEARCH FOR CHILDREN Palouse, Wash., Aug. 10.—After 30 years spent in searching for bis two children, who had been taken from his home by tbeir mother 33 years ago, M. L- Fauver of Boyd county, Neb., has located them in Whitman county, and is now visiting tbe son, Arthur Fauver, a well known farmer, two and a naif miles south of this oity. The other child, now a matron of 37 summers, is Mrs. George Roberts of Ploe City. The story of Mr. Fauver's search for bis children, as told by him is not lacking in pathos. Thirty-three years ago the past winter, while be was ab ent from his home, which was ! then in Dakota, bis young wife dis 1 appeared with their two ohildren, a i boy aged five and a girl aged four. He made no eoffrt to locate them at the time, "going entirely to the - bad," as he expressed it, and when s few mouths later bis wife applied for a divorce, it was secured without bis j opposition. A couple of years later i he pulled himself together and again took up th* tbred of life where it bed been so rudely broken. Going back ; to bis former home in Nebraska be married again, settled on a farm and prospered. His resolve to not allow his j trouble to ruin his life was ac companied by a resolve to find his children, snd be has never ceased bis effort* until tbis spring when he I linemen, $4.25 for cable splicer* and j more in proportion for foremen. 1 The men however refused to return to work on this beats, assuming that they wonld help thslr cause In th* other states by remaining out in sym pathy with tbe striking employees in those states, in spite of the fsot that they admitted tbe wages offered here were entirely satisfactory. "The company has done all that oouid be expected in the way of try ing to effect a settlement her*, but will not enter into any more agree ments with the union, as it has been clearly demonstrated that these are worthless as tbe anions break them whenever they have tbe inelination to do so. "So far th# oompsny has been very lenient and baa repeatedly mat delegations from the union in the hope of coming to some satisfaetnry understanding bat without success. A proposition submitted by the un ion officials was ao^pted by the com pany but afterwards repud latod by the unions. Tbs company has at alt times shown its willingness to arbitrate tbe question with its men and has offerwd reasonable terms, but as these were not accepted there is now nothing left to do but resume work and to tbis end arrangements are now being mads to put on a full crew of man In tbis district. Th* servioe in Coeur d'Alene has undoubtedly suffered somewhat on aoouuxxt of tbe lack of men, but wl II again be pat to tbe standard as soon at tbe new force of employes* is on the ground. "The oompany Is beie to stay and has extensive improvements now un • der way, partially completed, such as the removal of all open wire and substitution by a cable plant and th* removal of poleaon Sherman street."
