THE BELLEVUE CHRONICLE.

The first issue of this new paper is
received. 1t is neat-looking five
column paper, lSx24, of four pages.
Its principal business, as stated in its
salutatory, will be to endeavor to i'm
press ny on the minds of those of its
readers who reside beyond the con
fines of Wood River, that there is such
a place as Bellevue. In politics it
will be Independent Republican.

A CHEAP CONCERN.

During the past week tho owners
Of tie Weakly News-Snide sheet across
the street have been busy endeavor-
ing to induce the Democratic County
Central Committee to pay them $50 a
day for publishing Democratic daily
paper! After repeated ndeavors, the
matter was finally brought to vote,
last Thursday afternoon, and the men,
bers of the committee, properly argu-
ing that a paper that was not worth
more than that, was not worth any
thing at all, scornfully refused to
accept the proposition.
The sight of man, or couple of
men, claiming to publish legitimate
newspaper, who will make such an
offer, is well calculated to disgust the
public and bring discredit upon the
entire profession. And it makes it
necessary for the TINES to define its
position, that it may not be classed
with those justly despised publications
whose columns are always for sale to
the highest bidder.
During the present campaign, the
TIMES will continue to be what it has
been heretofore, to-wit: An Inde-
pendent paper. 1t will not be party
paper IN any sense. 1t will endeavor
to enlightcn the public on the merits
of the various candidates, irrespective
of their political affiliations. 1t will
be bold, fearless, but not untruthful.
In brief, it will endeavor to SO shape
public opinion that the best men shall
be elected. Such will be the course
Of the DAILY and WEEKLY TIMES.
This being the policy of the TIMES,
the corrupt or incompetent need not
look to It for any encouragement; nor
need they hope that the tender Of
money can make it deviate from its
course.
The editor Of the TINES is not in.
sensible to the charms Of the Almighty
Dollar, by any means; but he has seen
too many reverses Of fortune to dread
poverty, and is too proud to be owned.
Certain portions Of newspaper are
always for sale to anybody who wants
to use them. Such parts Tor columns)
of the TINES are ''for sale or to let"
SO to speak, to anybody, at regular
rates. But what we want distinctly
understood, is, that the editorial
opinions of the TINES are not for sale.

money, paid by the day or otherwise.

TIE HON. JOHN HALEY.

Hon. John Haley, although he de-
c!ares that he takes very little interest
in politics. has been hard at work,
night and day, since his arrival here,
organizing the Democratic campaign
in Alturas county. And his efforts to
harmonic the party have met with
really wonderful success. Frank
Ganahl. who was Sticking" at George
Ainslie's nomination with 1O-mule
power, is now gentle as cooling dove.
1t took good deal of talk from the
Hon. John Haley to accomplish this
however, as up to last Wednesday
afternoon, it was commonly reported
on the streets that Mr.. Ganahl would
follow Mr.. Ainslie, at the ratification
meeting, and denounce him for his
subserviency to the Mormons and his
attempted steal Of all the arabic land
of Idaho and all the water in this vast
region; but Mr.. Haley succeeded in
making Mr.. Ganahl see the error of
his ways, and when evening came, in
stead Of bitterly denouncing Mr.. Ain
slie, as he was expected to do, he in
dorsed him-to the great disappoint-
ment of the crowd.
Mr.. Haley is now reported to be
wrestling with the Hon. Green White
and the Hon. Jno. NJ. Cannady. Mr..
White and Mr.. Cannady are both
nominees Of the Democratic County
Convention which SO bitterly denoun-
ced Mr.. Ainslie. Mr.. White is the
nominee for the House of Represen-
tatives, and his hatred of Mr.. Ainslie
is SO great that, last week, he deter
mined to resign rather than remain
on the same ticket with him. After
considerable 'wrestling," Mr.. White
was induced to reconsider his deter
mination, but he still avows his pur-
pose to be to defeat Mr.. Ainslie by
any means. The Hon. John HALEY
will see Mr.. White.
Mr.. Cannady has disappointed his
friends. Last Wednesday evening,
he was expected to show Mr.. Ainslie
up in his true colors, and, a copy of
the infamous irrigation bill in his
hand, he was seen to go through the
stage door back Of the boxes. But
that is as far as he got. The Hon.
John HALEY was there. The John
Haley has been there ever since, pro-
badly, as Mr.. Cannady hasn't been
heard from at all.
For man who does not take much
interest in politics, and who has no
party feeling, because the political
parties are simply fighting for the
spoils of office, the Hon. John HALEY
is wonderfully and actively success
full with Democratic politicians.
The Hon. John HALEY expects to
go down along the line Of the railroad
after 'shorso feed We wonder
how many votes he expects to "cor-
raj" in that country where the soil
assays SO high in lava.

The Reason why.

A great many people cannot understand
why the female portion of the community
prefer sober men. The matter is simple
enough
l. Wives like a sober man because they
can reason with a sober man.
2. The sober man is more companiona-
BILE
3. Sober men have pride, and pride is a
woman's main hold
4. SObriety means comfortable home.
D. Good clothes for mother and children.
6. A house of your own.
Z. Evenings at home instead of in bar
room.
8. Better health and the enjoyment of
life.
9. An elevated view of life and sense Of
your responsibility.
10. You are credit to your wife and
children.
II. People who once despised you will
now bless you.
u. Your words will be gauged as you re-
sist the tempter.
13. Young men will pattern after you.
IA. You will be an ornament to society
and the whole town in which you live
-. The whole community will take
pride in you and wish they had more like
you.
1G. Your family and friends will appre-
ciate you.
II. Your enemies will admire your path
of sobriety
IS. Scolfers will be disarmcd by your
works
10. Your good qualities will grow with
your years.

The INVENTION OF MATCHES. Fifty years
ago, in England, matches had only reached
the stage known as 'lucfers, and were clum-
sy and inconvenient Fox and Burke and DR..
Johnson used to light their candles with flint
aud steel, though practice probably made them
more skillful than we would be at such an op-
Grafton. About the beginning of this century
long birthstone matches took the place of the
tinder. They were about six inches long,
tipped with sulphur, and caught fire easily
from the spark of the flint. In 1925 an elab-
crate apparatus called the ''eupyrion" was in
general use in cities. This was a largemouthed
bottle containing sulphuric acid soaked in f.
brous asbestos; the matches, which were about
two inches long and sold for a shilling box,
were tipped with a chemical combination of
which chlorate of potash was the principal
ingredient, and when the end of the match
was dipped into the acid and rapidly with
drawn, fire was produced. But the acid was
inconvenient, the matches were liable to bo
spoiled by damp, aud the eupyrion soon went
out of use An instrument called the "pyro
phorus," the pneumatic tinder-box, and the
hydrogen lamp of Doberlenier, were success
lively used for short periods. In 1882 the first
friction match was made, and it was jokingly
called a lucifer. Lucifers were substantially
the same as our present matches, pulled thro'
piece of sandpaper. The only change since
then has been in altering it from silent to a
noisy match and the invention of the safety
fusee, which will ignite only when rubbed on
chemically prepared paper. This safety
match was patented in England in 1856. A
single firm in Manchester, Eng, manufacture
5000, 600 matches day. and several firms in
London make 1000, 900 and 5000, 900 a day,
each. From the consumption of matches in
France and England it is seen that about $780,
OOO, 900, 900 are made in those two countries
every year. In the United States about 40,-
600, 900, 600 year are made yielding reve-
nue. to the government OF about So, 500, 900.

ed Pocahontas very unfayorably and she was
taken to Brentford, where Smith, then busy
with his preparations to sail for New England,
visited her. In the successful efforts Of Rolfe
and others to win her to the Christian faith
and to marriage, they had not scrupled TO de-
ceive her, by telling her that Captain Smith
was dead, probably because they knew she
would not marry another white man while
she believed that great warrior alive. When,
therefore, she saw the "brave" who had been
the object Of her maidenly admiration, she
turned her face away and refused to speak for
the space of two or three hours. When she
did 1t was to claim the privilege of calling
him father, which Smith granted only after
importantly, afraid, perhaps, of incurring the
kings dispeasure. Pocahontas went to
Gravesend to take ship for her return to
America, much against her will, for she had
become weaned from her savage life and
greatly attached to the English. At Graves
end she died of smallpox, three years after
her marriage, leaving one son, from whom

North and south.

OF the North wove a dream,
All bespangled with the gleam
OF the gancinS wings Of swallows dipping ripples In
stream,
That, like tide Of wine,
Wound through lands of shade and shine,
where purple grapes hung bursting the vine.
And where orchard bOughs were bent
Till their tawny fruitage blent
with the golden wake that marked the way the happy
reapers went;
Where the dawn died into noon,
As the May melts into jane,
And the dusk fell like a sweet face in q swoon.
OF the South dreamed: and there
Came a vision clear and fair
As the marvellous entertainments Of the mirage Of the
air;
And saw the bayou trees,
WITH their lavish draperes
Hanging heavy DER the moon-washed cypress knees.
Pecring from lush fens Of rice
behed the negrO's eyes,
Lit with that old superstition death itself cannot dis
guise;
And saw the palm-trees nod
Like an Oriental god,
And the cotton froth and bubble from the pod.
And I dreamed that North and South,
With sigh Of dew and drouth,
Blew each unto the other the salute Of lip and mouth
And wakened, awed and thrilled
Every doubling mugmur stillcd
In the silence of the dream found fulfilled

And see each queer place In there,

We spurned the shore-we sped away
We rode the waves victorious.

We took steam car near the shore
For some light-soundng city.

We had to kiss at Barney;
The beggars wouldn't let MS alone
That halliday at Killarney.
The Giants Causeway7 'Tis arranged
With no regard to science;
1t must somehow Of late have changed
At least, we saw no giants.

Sold pictures and were merry;
The men were full Of yarns aud jokes,
The women barefoot, very.
Old seotland7 Yes, all in our power
We did there TO be thorough
We stopped In Glasgow one whole hour,
Then went to scarborough.
At Abbotsford we made a stay
OF half an hour precisely
(The ruins all along the way
We're ruined very nicely.
We did two mountains in the rain,
And left the others undone;
Then took the "Flying Scotchman" train
And come by night to London.
Long tunnels somewhere on the line
Made sound and darkness deeper.
No; English scenery is not fine,
Viewed from Pullman sleeper.
Oh Paris Paris Parish It's
No wonder, dear, that you go
So far into the ocstasios
About tho Victor Hugol
He paints the city, high and low,
With faithful pen aud ready
Il think, my dear, ought to know
We drove there two hours steady.
Through Switzerland by train. Yes
Enjoyed 1t, in measure;
But still, the mountains are too high
To see with any pleasure.
Their tops-they made my neck quite slin
just stretching up to view them;
And folks are very foolish II
They Chamber clear up to them.
Rome, Venice, Naples and the Rhine?
We did them-dO not doubt It,
This guide-book here is very fine
