The Paris Post comes out doubled in
size, giving a splendid telegraphic ser
vice and makes altogether an excel
lent paper.
An exchange says it costs Nez Perce

A Ilailey man fell off the roof of the

/The Alabama Populists are afraid
the Republicans will absorb them. A

diseases and breaking out- this winter

diligent.

held in the state university building,
Moscow, 24th ult. It was well attend
ed by representatives from Idaho and
neighboring states.
The Emmett Index believes that the

but the man who first printed it had
too many lower case t's.
An Ohio girl has been asleep since

ing weakness of the sex, however; she
persists in talking in her sleep.
Under the head "Among Utah Ed
itors" the Logan Republican digresses

nal spirit is a perennial bloom.
Idaho Falls is rejoicing in the pros

our railroad prospect—it is under ad
Tiseraent.

verize the soil, you can raise a good
crop of corn without water.—Nampa
Progress.
Thait democrats and populists will

has been in the past.—Salubra Citizen.
Neither will it be 3 cornered.

time to greet a rescue party. Ile suf
fered much on account of a lack of
"tay" during his entombment.
Another report is now being circu
lated in the east, to the effect that the
Vanderbilts will shortly control the
Short Line. Just how they will get it
is not known, but the deal is to be con
summated when the Union Pacific is
reorganized.—Montpelier Examiner.
They have a town on upper Snake
river called New Sweden. Hans Han
sen is mayor, Peter Peterson clerk, and
the common council is composed of
Peter IIan3en, Hans Peterson, Peter
Hans Peterson, Hans Peter Hansen,
and Peter Hansen Ilans Peterson. No
relations.
There has been trouble in the Epis

tion to Rector Murphy.
The county commissioners of Latah

operation of benevolent statutes, in fact
they are not recognized.
While coming down the stairway
from the hall last Saturday evening af
ter the couclusion of the play, J. II. Car

J«Ujlg0 Patton, of Bear Lake county,

He will à>i)ear shortly as "Yladimar
the Monk" in the "Gunmaker of Mos
cow." Judge Patton used to run the
probate court and had his blanks
printed to order. They read: "In the
Probate court of Judge Patton." A
novel idea.
The Boise Mail is exhorting what it
calls the "grand old democratic party
of Idaho" to wake up and organize.
What for? It has no principles that it
cares to fight for. Two years ago it
converted itself into a tail for the pop
ulist kite, and the Mail evidently
wishes to have the performance re
peated— Cœur d'Alene Miner.
The northern part of the state is en
joying a considerable boom in wheat.
It has gone up from 16 cents to 50
cents and the farmers are in much bet
ter spirits than they have been for a
long time. Some who sold at 40 cents
a few weeks ago are kicking them
selves, but they don't feel half as bad
as those who continue to hold wheat
until a slump comes on.
Con Donahue, an old timer of this
county, who has been placer mining
on Henry creek, near Centerville, for
several years, died last Tuesday in the
county hospital at Star Ranch. Con
was a »teadv-going, industrious man,

act. He was well known all over the
county and had many friends. Con's
health has been very poor for a long
time.—Idaho World.
A Frenchman has discovered a metal
alloy which takes on a beautiful gold
polish and retains it indetlnately, being
indistinguisable from gold in almost
every respect. It is being now used
largely for jewelry, watch cases, table
ware ani all other useful and ornamen
tal purposes for which gold is adapted.
Its cost is only about 25 cents per
pound and it is predicted that it will
extensively displace gold in all the arts.
Says the Fremont CouDty News: To
read the news of the day intelligently,
the reader must have a good knowledge
of geography. Can you in your mind
locate the different places that are daily
being spoken of in our American pa
pers, such as Trutisvaal, Delagoa Bay.
Ashantee, Pretoria, Johannesburg,Kim
berly, Matanzas, etc. ? You could easily
locate all those notable places if you had
one of the splendid new atlases supplied
by the Caldwell Tribüne to its sub
scribers at the remarkably low price of
$1 delivered to you free. Dont put off
getting one.
The Literary Association connected
with the Weston School, rendered its
first program Friday afternoon. It
consisted of an excellent recitation by
Anna Fifield, a sketch of tho war of
1812 by the teacher, E. A. Box, a
sweet song by Miss Emma Dawson,
and two essays, one on character, by
Lawrence Nelson and one on the state
of Idaho, by Henry Rose, after which
an adjournment was taken for two
weeks. The efforts of the young ladies
and gentlemen were highly appreciated
by the rest of the students and the
visitors.—Malad Enterprise.
Rev. C. W. Fowler, of Lewiston, was
charged by a rancher named Miller with
stealing tomatoes. A sensation was
created, but the Rev. gentleman estab
lished to the satisfaction of the court
that he had beeu authorized to take the
tomatoes at one cent a pound, which he
tendered to Miller. The tomatoes in
volved amounted to $1, and judgment
against Fowler to that amount was
given but the costs were charged up to
Miller. Religious scoffers will bo likely
to deplore the missing of so promising
an opportunity to reflect on the church
by the cry, another minister gone
wrong.
The startling information has been
received by the News, from Jackson's
Hole, to the effect that old man Falk
ner, who is over 80 years old, comitted
rape on the fourteen year old daughter
of Mr. and Mrs. Nehoj, and lie is
now under arrest. The populace were
so thoroughly aroused over the hein
ous outrage that many wanted to re
sort to lynch law, but cooler argument
prevailed and it was agreed to allow the
law to tike its course. Falkner came
to Jackson's Hole about 8 years ago
grom York state, where his family all
died with consumption. He has been
engaged in the cattle business, and is
considered well off fiuancially.—Fre
mont County News.
For the past two or three years the
cities and towns in Latah county have
experienced what is commonly termed
a "snap." The county assessor and tax
collector every year assessed and col
lected the city taxes at the county's ex
pense, without turning into the county
treasury anything to pay for the labor.
It is true ex-Assessor Fairburn
charged the city a percjntage, but he
put it into his pocket and failed to
make an accounting to the county.
The board of commissioners have
concluded that the county cannot af
ford to collect and turn over to the cit
ies their tax moneys and receive nothing
for doing so. Therefore, the county
will hold 4 or 6 per cent, of the city tax
until the matter is settled in court.
