Col. TIMoNEY NOT INDICATED
The U. S. Grand Jury did not find a
bill against Col. Il. Mob. Timoney, late
Register in the Land Office at this
place, and none but the three editors
thought they would. This action of the
Grand Jury clearly shows that the part
played by Kelly against the Col. was
malicious persecution. Will the Judge

Senator Mitchell and his Bill.
The Portland Bee publishes the fol-
lowing telegram:
WASHINGTON, March IL, 1873.

have received your letter saying
that certain newspapers state that I
have modified my railroad bill so as to
ignore the provision that the road shall
be begun at Portland. This is mis-.
take, as | have done no such thing, and
never will, Voluntarily. The Salt Lake
bill is progressing slowly, but favorably.
j. H. MITCHELL.
The inference from the above is plain
that Senator Mitchell purposes to de.
feat the N. P. extension and every 9th.
er railroad to Oregon, unless the road
shall b, begun at Portland. Will he
be able to accomplish his purpose /?

LEWISTON, NORTH IDAHO.
Arms for Idaho.

On the 10th OF FEB. Col. McCOnvllle
sent telegram to delegate Fem, to
hurry up his resolution for arms for
Idaho, as they might be required early.
On the 9th, the resolution passed the
House. On the 5th of March it passed
the Senate, and received the signature
OF the President on the 9th of March,
and on the 18th Of March Gov. Bray
man received the following telegram
from Washington:
"WAsHINdToN, d. G. Mar. 13, rs. !
To Governor of Idaho Territory.
Under joint resolutions Of July 3rd,
1875 and March 8, 1873, two hun
dred and fifty (250) rifles and twelve
thousand FIVE hundred { IL 5000 cartridges
have been ordered to Lewiston from
Vancouver arsenal, aud the same num-
Der from Benicia arsenal to Fort Hall.
BENET,
Chief of Ordinance"
The same day the Governor received
the following from California:
"SAN Francisco, Mar. ID, 1873.
To NJ. Brayman, Gov. of Idaho.
Your letter Of March 7th, 1873, with
papers received. Fort Hall and Lemhi
are not within my division, whose east
ern limit is the prolongation north of
the western boundary of Utah. The
operations from Fort Hall disarming a
portion Of the Bannacks was by order
from the division of the Missouri. Gen.
Sherman has ordered an examination of
the country near Lemhi to be made as
soon as possible. | have telegraphed
him the substance Of your letter.
MCDOWELL,
Maj. General"
Gov. Brayman has written to Col.
McConvillo to receive and care for the
arms to be sent to Lewiston; till he gives
more full instructions in regard to their
distribution. The resolution of July 3,
1876, under which they are issued re-
quires bond from the Governor, and
doubtless the Governor will require a
bond in turn from the officers of the
companies who receive them. This pro-
vision is none too early, and the fact
being known to the Indians, that our
citizens are we'll armed, will have more
pacific influence upon them than all else.
Col. McConville, Delegate Fem and
Gov. Brayman are deserving of credit
for their promptness in this matter and
when the guns are received and proper.
ly distributed where needed, we are as
sured that the settlers will award all
deserved praise to them, and feel them
selves much more secured of their lives
and property, than they have felt before
since joseph went on the war path.

The Pre-RaphaeIite Waist.

One Of the most important features in
graceful figure-hence one of the most
conspicuous and valuable innovations
of the pre-Raphaelite schools the
waist. The first aim is to have an San
tique waist''-which vulgar mind
would pronounce horribly thick-thick
like the Venus de Medicis, thick like
that far nobler Venus of Milo. And
why? Because the proportion of the
figure, the grace of action and carriage,
are so dependent on the waist being of
the right size that it is impossible to
preach too strongly the folly and ugli-
ness of tight lacing. The coarse, abb
rupt curve which is formed by small
waist and broad hips is very far re-
moved from Hogarth's true "hne of
beauty" which is a curve extremely
gradual. What is gained by an ugly,
angular waist like v? Nothing but
long list of maladies which sap the
health and spoil the complexion. What
is gained by somewhat large :. antique
waist?" Good proportion in an artists
eye, ease and grace of movement, often
a really statuesque carrisge-imposs;-
bic to the slaves of Ia mode, with their
hard, bony cuirass on. The waist Of q
pre-Raphaelite is rather short-where a
waist ought to be, in fact, between the
hips and the last rib. Her skirt is cut
full or scanty, as she chooses; but is
never tied to her legs with strings and
classics. She can, therefore, stoop with
out grasping or cracking her corset
bone, and can sit down or walk up
stairs at will, unlike many votaries of
present fashions. Her sleeves are Cut
extraordinarily high on the shoulders,
sometimes little fulled TO fit the shoul-
der-bone; for it is de rigueur that pre-
Raphaelite should be capable of moving
her arms as freely when dressed as when
undressed.-Mrs. Haveis's "Art Of
BEAUTY.

And SO with the men. The best of
every thing, and every thing they want,
they must have and will have il it takes
the last piece of coin. There are thou
sands OF dollars which Californians are
swindled out Of in the making of
change. The difficulty here in making
the exact change, owing to the kind Of
currency in use, produces one of the
grossest impOsitions l ever saw prac-
tieed. You can not buy an article but
what you are bound to be swiudled.
Californians. however, never complain
or think any thing about it, and the rich
and the poor are alike in this respect

Dodge City times. [volume] (Dodge City, Kan.) 1876-1892, 1878-04-20
Extravagant Habits OF Caiifornians.

Californians are proverbially extrava-
giant, whether male or female. They
seem to care little or nothing for money
other than supplying their immediate
needs. This extravaganza is one of the
evils of the early lush times. A man
OF bibulant propensities who has only
four bits in his pocket and does not
know, and, parenthetically l might say,
does not care, where the next hall dol
lar is coming from, will invite party to
a bar and spend it all for one round of
drinks. Women never think of asking
the tradesmen to take off any thing in
the price OF the article they are purchas-
ing, but pay just what he asks for the
article. Thousands and thousands of
dollars are squandered by the extrava-
giant habits Of the people here. They
pay whatever is asked and spend as
they go, without regard for the NOR
row. Whatever they want they buy,
regardless of the cost, and not stopping
to ask whether they can afford it or not.
In living or dressing these extravagant
habits are manifest. If the fashions
bles of Mob Hill in this city wear $500
dresses on the street the woman in the
humber walks of social life feels her
self IS amply able to put the months
earnings of her husband on her back,
and she does not begradge it either

ford, Parker County, Texas, with his
daughter, Mrs. Nancy Wheat, s. years
of age. This old gentleman was born
near the Red House, in Prince William
County, Virginia, May 10, 1764. His
father resided on plantation near the
Potomac, adjoining Lawrence Washing
toms. Mr.. James has seen Washington
often at his fathers house. He and his
brothers We're in the war of 1872. MIR.
James was a slack of all trades" as he
says he learned to be a carpenter, brick
layer, stonemason, blacksmith, painter
and tinsmith. During his long lie he
has never been one month in bed with
sickness. Mr.. James was married in
Virginia soon after attaining his major
ity, and raised family of ten boys and
five girls. Leaving his native State
some years after the war, he settled in
Roam County, Tenn. From that place
he moved to Lauderdale County, Ala,
thence to White County, Ark, and in
1913, came to Dallas County, Tex, in
his Sith year. He continued his resi-
dence there until 1872, when, in his 1osth
year, he selected, as he says, Parker
County to spend his old days in. In
his 109th year he cultivated an acre
patch of watermelons in Parker Coun-
ty, and raised the finest brought to mar
ket. He realized 1925 from this crop.
Mr.. James talks very well and his hear
ing is pretty good.-Galreston NeWs.

pie! This is a great mistake and only
shows lamentable ignorance. The busi-
ness of fsrming is strictly. honorable
one, and, 4 rightly conducted, one Of
the most healthy, pleasant, and profita-
BILE employments that man can engage
in. Ia
In order to be successful farmer,
however, o man must be as intelligent,
and must understand his business as
thoroughly, as he who is successful
merchant or professional man. In
order TO succeed in any business, . man
must understand it fully in all its
branches, and must also attend to it.
This is the great secret Of good farm
ing. All our most successful farmers
those who have made money by the
business-who have built up for them
selves beautiful homes-whO have broad,
fertile, well-tilled acres, made so by the
result of their industry, who have i'm
proved breeds of cattle, hogs and sheep,
these are they who understand their
business, and not only understand it,
but attend to it. The business is
a good one, and the reason why so many
farmers make failure of it, only eking
out bare living-hardly that, some
times-and remain in debt year after
year, working hard, yet having little,
is because they don't understand their
business. They run it by brute force
instead of brains. They pattern too
much by others generally after poor
example), and do not look into the why
and wherefore of raising crops. They
are not able to tell how much it costs
them to raise crop, or what their profit
may be, if any. They are generally
{. too poor" to take an agricultural pa
per- They use the same old and clumsy
tools that their fathers did before them,
and are not in favor of improvements.
Is it TO be wondered ut that such farm
ers are not successful?
Another way to improve is to watch
those of your neighbors who are most
successful-observet their management,
the crops they raise, manner of tilling
and handling. Watch closely; you can
learn as much from their blunders as
you can from their successes. When they
make mistake, remember it, and
do not do the same. Keep an account
of each crop you raise, expense of seed,
culture and marketing. Find out wheth-
er it pays you or not. Discard those
that are improbable, and adopt others
that will pay. Keep an account of all
your receipts and expenses. Many dol
lars slip out every year on foolish ex-
penses that would not if you made q
practice of writing down all expenses.
