Nampa, Idaho, Juno 17. At 2:30
yesterday morning Night Watchman
Miller shot and fatally wounded a
burglar who was caught in the act
of burglarizing the safe of the Cot

was making his rounds when he was
attracted to the office by the sounds
of nounding. As he approached the
place the thief ran out and down the
Jtroet. Miller called on him twice to
Halt. The burglar continued to run
and the officer fired.
Miller thought he had missed his
man, as fbe fellow continued his" "mad
pace. After running a short dis
tance, however, he fell.
It was found he had been shot
through the lungs, the bullet having
passed almost through his body. He
was taken to the city hall.
-Up to this time the burglar has re
fused to disclose his name .or to re
veal the identity of his partner. An
other man was soon with him during
aunciay. it is believed he was on
guard outside the lumber office and
gave the burglar a warning signal on
the approach of the officer.
Tools in the possession of the
wounded burglar indicate he is a pro
fessional cracksman.

Church Says Woman Must Leave
Either Husband or Religion.
A queer dilemma confronts Mrs
Mary Douthwaite, a prominent soci
ety woman of Los Angeles, Cal. Mrs
Douthwaite was a widow a year and
a half ago, with three children to sup
port. Her husband died several years
ago and left her with a little means
and this the brave woman used for
purchasing a little stock of dry goods
and took up the battle for a living
for herself and children by selling
goods. She prospered and at the same
time was a prominent member and
worker in the Broadway Church of
Christ. For 15 years she waB a mem
ber of this church and was on"e of the
leaders in any move toward further
ing the interests of the church. Eigh
teen months ago she married Mr.
Douthwaite. Now her church says
that she cannot continue her name
on the rolls because she married a
divorced man. The church has issued
its ultimatum. Mrs. Douthwaite must
leave her church or her husband. The
church says it would like to have
her continue working with them, but
her name will have to be dropped
from the roll.
Mrs. Douthwaite takes the matter
very seriously and declares that she
will appeal to the entire congregation
and demand an open trial and make
tho members wnom sne nas aiaea
and worked with take a stand for or
against her.
A Wild Experience.
A man named Jim Lyle, who has
recently been working in a sheep
camp near Mountain Hme, had a
thrilling experience early Wednesday
morning, according to the Huntington
Herald. He was beating his way o
Huntington by riding on top of a
pf.ssonger coach, and while the train
want crossing a bridge near town he
fell from the car into Burnt river
40 feet below. He managed to get,out
of-4 he water and in the forenoon was
brought to town by the section crew
Lyle received a severe shaking up
but fortunately no bones were broken
He is being cared for by the city au
thorities. Sir Sydney Fisher, Minister of Ag
riculture for Canada, has appointed
Mr. William Hutchinson as Cana
dian Commissioner to tho World's
Fair at St. Louis. Mr. Hutchinson
will have charge of all the prelimin
ary arrangements for Canada's big
.exhibit at tho Exposition in 1004
His headquarters will bo with the
department of agriculture, Ottawa

Hopkins Called Harrison to Time for
Saying That He Was Unable to Be
Elected Without the Use of Boodle
Friends, Intervened.
Springfield, 111., June 17. Just be
fore the democratic state convention
was called to order here today at
noon, State Chairman Hopkins and
Mayor Harrison, of Chicago, had a
sensational encounter.
Hopkins demanded to know if Har
rison had been correctlj' quoted in
the Chicago papers, wbich made him
say tnat Hopkins could not be re
elected without the uso of boodle
Harrison reiterated the statement.
Hopkins became furious and called
Harrison a damned little pinhead
He psid Harrison never came by an
honest dollar except through inheri
tance, and also accused him of adding
to his fortune by extorting money
from harlots and gamblers, and sell
ing out in franchise deals.
It looked at one timp as though the
men would come to blows, but friends
of each were there and prevented
that.

This crater is filled with wutor and

It is evident from surroundings that
at somo remote dato Bald Mountain

who have been out on tho lako have

in vain. One man is known to have

many freely express tho opinion that
it is in tho lino of possibilities. The

NOTHING TO HOPE FOR.
The Troubles of a Man Who Is the
Victim of Inherited Wealth.
Sitting under tho purplo awnings
of his splendid yacht, tho Valiant, as
she steamed into Southampton water
August 22, 1001, M. W. K. Vander
hilt thus blttorly inveighed against
his fate:
"My life never was destined to be
quite liapi.y. It was laid on llnot
that I could foresee almost from my
earliest childhood. It has loft mo
with nothing to hope for, with noth
Ing definite to Beck or strive for.
InheriKd weaitn is a nig nanui
can to happiness. It is as cortaln
death to ambition as cocaine is to
morality. If a man makes monoy, no
matter how much, ho nnds a certain
happiness In its possession, for in tho
desire to increase his business no nas
constant use for it; but the man who
inherits woalth has nono of this.
"Tho first und tho greatest f atls
faction, tho building of tho founda
tion of a fortune is denied him. Ho
must labor, if he does, labor, simply
to add to what may bo an over-sufficiency."
