We are here to show the world that Canada's Labor party has been formed, and that it is a product ive party. Whatever we do we should not let petty divisions hurt the party at the start." IS THROWN OUT OF COURT INJUNCTION AGAINST IDAHO MINING COMPANY DENIED. Judge Beatty Says River Lands Are Not Damaged Scores Reckless Swearing by Litigants. BOISE, Idaho, Oct. 31. (Special.) Judge Beatty, In the Federal Court- has handed down art opinion dismissing the suit brought by Charles M. Brown et al. against the Federal Mining Company. -Tills is one of the cases in which efforts were made to prevent the mining compa nies of the Coeur d'AIenes from further damaging lands along the Coeur d'AIene River. They were of the highest im portance because injunctions, if granted, would have closed the mines. This case involved lands near Kellogg. A temporary injunction was denied some time ago, and the case referred to a Master in Chancery to take testimony as to damages. The court sustains tne find ing of the Master that all damages were caused throe years before the beginning of this action, and that the plaintiffs are not entitled to damages. After denying a permanent injunction, jlhe court proceeds to review tne findings of the Master in some detail, pointing out that in another case against other com panies some of the complainants charged that their lands had been entirely de stroyed by the acts of those other com panies. "Such reckless verification of court pleadings." the opinion says, "cannot be overlooked. Too often the idea seems to obtain tha-t litigants may declare and swear to anything in legal proceedings. The court, however. Is not a gambling arena where assurance and reckless bra vado will be rewarded, but one where truth must prevail." WANT OPEN RIVER, TOO.

NIPS PANIC IN THE BUD Kansas School Teacher Forces Chil dren to Obey Fire Drill.' ARGENTINE Kan.. Oct. 31. The pres ence of mind of Gertrude WHHans, a teacher of the seventh grade In the Emer son public school here, prevented a panic and probably loss of life today, when she forced the children in her, room to march from the building In order, instead, of rushing pell-mell when an alarm of fire was Riven.. The furnace had set fire to the rafters in the basement-, and when smoke began to roll into Miss Williams' room the children made a dash for the door. The teacher promptly stepped ahead of the frightened children, blocking the doorway, and, raising her pointer threateningly, gave the command "Form In line!" The children forced her against the door-jamb and she was severely bruised. but stood her ground. After a moment's hesitation, the children, remembering their fire drill, obeyed. "Here, Ernests" cried . the teacher, "you go downstairs and beat the drum while we march out in order." Ernest Maxon, 15 years old, who beats the drum for the drill every day, ran to do her bidding. He beat it isteadily, in perfect time, while the 338 pupils and teachers from the various rooms marched down the stairs and out of the building. All reached the street in safety. The fire loss was trivial. The fire drill was adopted following the burning of the Iroquois Theater In Chicago. America Buys Much From Austria VIENNA, Oct. 31. (Special.)

The season for coughs and colds is now at hand and too much care cannot be used to protect the children. A child is much more likely to contract diphtheria or scarlet fever when he has a cold. The quicker you cure his cold the less the risk. Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is the sole reliance of many mothers, and few of them who have tried it are willing to use any other. Mrs. F. F. Starcher. of Ripley. W. Va., says. "I have never used anything other than Chamberlain's Cough Remedy for my children and it has always given good satisfaction." This remedy contains no opium or other nar cotic, and may be given as confi dently to a child as to an adult. For sale by all drusiiists. POINT OUT DEFECTS District Attorneys Suggest Changes in Penal Code. WRITE ATTORNEY-GENERAL Important Suggestion Is That Legis lature Pass General Conspiracy Act Under Which All Public Grafters Can Be Punished. , I SALEM, Or., Oct. 31. (Special. ) Last June Attorney-General Crawford sent out to the several District Attorneys of the state a request for suggestions from them concerning needed legislation with a view to perfecting the criminal laws so that it shall be more difficult for guilty persons to escape .punishment. He has received numerous replies calling atten tion to defects In the laws which the Prosecuting Attorneys have observed in the course of their practice. Some of the Prosecuting Attorneys have not yet re plied to I his inquiry. Among the most important suggestions received is that a conspiracy statute should be enacted similar to that under which the land-fraud convictions were re cently had in tbe Federal Court at Port land. Another is that a fine or Jail sen tence be permitted as punishment for lar ceny from a building. Under the present statutes a man who steals a" knife or any small article from a building must go to the penitentiary, while if he steals it out side a building he can be given a fine or jail sentence. The suggested change would permit the court to fix a punish ment commensurate with the crime. The , suggestions thus far received are as Tol lows: Forgery Statute Incomplete. The forgery "statute, section 1S58, B. & C. . code, does not enumerate all docu ments; nor are the particular words des ignating documents followed by the gen eral terms of any other instrument. There are numerous documents that are not mentioned In the statute, such as an application to puchase school lands. Section 1760, defining criminal assault, is defective for the reason that it only makes it a crime Tor one person to com mit this crime upon another against the other person's' will or without her con gent, and should be amended so as to apply where the crime is committed against an insane or weak-minded female incapable of consent. Section 1401 should be repealed. Confi dential, relations between husband and wife should be treated as such. Yet one should be permitted to be a witness against the other. Numerous guilty per sons escape punishment by reason of this law. Section 1925, mo.king.it a crime to induce a minor to visit a house of ill-fame should be amended, so as to apply to adults as well. The embezzlement and larceny statutes should be amended so that an agent or employe obtaining money in which he has an undivided interest may be punished if he converts the whole to his own U6e. Conspiracy Statute Needed. There should be a law making it illegal to conspire to defraud the state or mu nicipality out of any of its property. Sections 1339, 1340 and 1341, providing for the. issuance of a-warrant of arrest upon the order of the 'court when an indipt merrt has -been filed should be amended so as to permit the issuance - upon the order of the District Attorney or the Judge, and that the warrant issue in all cases where the defendant is not in cus tody. That section 17D9, relating to larceny from a building, he extended so as to ap ply to larceny from a tent, booth, boxcar or railway car, and also so as to give the court more latitude in 'fixing pun ishment. The statute now provides only for imprisonment in the penitentiary, but a fine and imprisonment in the County I Jail are also suggested. An amendment to section 4075 of the code which will permit Indians who have not. severed their tribal relations to take salmon with spear, gaff, foul hook, etc., but hold them amenable to the fishery laws in all other respects. Protect Rural Communities. A law should be enacted for the pun ishment of persons who are guilty of vio lent, riotous or disorderly conduct, drunk enness and the use of profane, obscene or abusive language "outside of incorpor ated towns. The present law is defective In that respect. A law should be enacted, for the pun ishment of persons .who" handle firearms recklessly when other persons are assem bled, or who discharge, firearms toward dwellings or so as to endanger the lives of persons or domestic animals, whether with or without malice.

LAW AND ORDER THE ISSUE Roosevelt Sends Lieutenant to In dorse Gooding's Prosecution of Dynamiters, Not to Support Mor monism, as Dubois Pretends. ORHGOXIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington, Oct. 31. Senator Dubois will not succeed in his effort to keep Secretary Taft out of the Idaho campaign. The Senator's dispatch to the President, pub lished this morning, while regarded as a clever political move, will fail of its pur pose; in fact, has failed, for Taft will make his speeches according to schedule and upon the original topic assigned him by the President, namely, "Law and Or der." Duobis' telegram was not referred to Taft, and, it is understood, was not even acknowledged. In Administration circles Dubois' tele gram Is laughed at. The Senator says there Is no law and order issue in Idaho, yet .objects to Taft's making a law and order speech. On the other hand, he makes the ridiculous statement that, if Taft speaks in Idaho, it will be consid ered an Indorsement of Mormonism. President Roosevelt knows all about the Idaho situation; had he not known he would not have sent his most powerful Cabinet officer away out to that distant state to make two speeches. He appre ciated the seriousness of the one issue at stake and for that reason diverted Taft from New York, where he was to have spoken, in order that it might become known all over Idaho that the President expects the people of that state to up hold Governor Gooding in his course of dealing out justice to the men accused of the murder of ex-Governor Steunen berg. Taft has no concern about Mormonism. There will be nothing in his remarks that even Dubois can twist Into an indorse ment of Alormonism. His remarks will be confined entirely to law and order and good Republicanism. BULLDOZING WILL NOT. WORK W. E. Borah Says Every Duly Quali : fled Elector Shall Vote. BOISE, Idaho, Oct. 31. (Special.)

Borah, one of the leading lawyers of the state and the Republican candidate for United States Senator, who is here tonight, en route to Washington County, from a campaigning trip Jn Lemhi, issued the following statement regarding the threat of the Democratic State Committee to challenge voters in the southeastern counties; . "The scheme has for its purpose prima rily the retarding of-votes; the intimida tion of some so that they will remain away from the polls. The voters should understand that all parties, 'regardless of political affiliations, who are entitled to vote, will be protected from intimidation or insult. The State of Idaho will guar antee the right of franchise to every citi zen entitled to exercise it. The fraudulent bulldozing of Tammany will not bear transplanting- to Idaho soil. It will not thrive here, even for a day. . "Every voting precinct will have law officers present who will see that the elec tion law is enforced, and all who are en titled to vote will be allowed to do so without hindrance. I am In favor of en forcing the law strictly, but I am also in favor of dealing in no uncertain way with those who undertake to violate the law by intimidation. The statute prescribes the qualifications, and' the qualifications are the only ones necessary for a voter to possess. "The time will never come in Idaho when any citizen having the qualifications of a voter will be deprived, against his or her will, of the right to vote." Purchasers lemand Good Deeds.

Sims, Max Levy and David Evans, for $400. alleged overcharges levied by Potter Bros, for the furnishing of a crew of sailors to one of the firm's ships.

Levy & Evans to furnish sailors for $35 a man; that on January 1, 1905, the Crown of Germany was loaded and ready to put to sea at Port Townsend, but that the defendants violated the contract by refusing to pro vide sailors for a less sum than $55 each.

She wrote 2467 words from dictation in half M THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL Few People Know How Useful It Is in Pre serving Health and Beauty. Costa Nothing to Try. Nearly everybody knows that char coal Is the safest and most efficient disinfectant and purifier in nature, but few realize its value when taken Into the human system for the same cleans ing purpose. Charcoal Is a remedy that the more you take- ot it the better; it is not a drug at all, but simply absorbs the gases and impurities always present In the stomach and intestines and car ries them out of the system. Charcoal sweetens the breath after smoking, drinking or after eating onions and other odorous vegetables. Charcoal effectually clears and im proves the complexion, it whitens the teeth: and further' acts as - a, natural and eminently safe cathartic. - It absorbs the injurious gases which collect in the -stomach and bowels; it disinfects the mouth and throat from the poison of catarrh. All druggists sell charcoal in' one form or another, but probably the best charcoal and the most for the money is in Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges; they are composed of the finest powdered Willow charcoal, and other harmless antiseptics In tablet form or rather in the form of large, pleasant tasting lozenges, the charcoal being mixed with honey. : The daily use of these lozenges will soon tell In" a much improved condi tion of the general health, better cnm-v plexlon, sweeter breath and -purer blood, and the beauty of it is, that no possible narm can result from their continued use, but, on the contrary, great benefit. A Buffalo physician, in speaking ot the benefits of charcoal, says: "I ad vise Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges to all patients suffering from gas In stomach and bowels, and to clear the complex ion and purify the breath, mouth and throat; I also believe the liver is great ly benefited by the daily use of them; they cost but twenty-five cents a box at drugstores, and although in some sense a patent preparation, yet I be lieve I get more and better charcoal in Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges than in any of tne ordinary charcoal tablets."
