Married Folks Would be Happie

If home trials were never told to
neighbors.
If they kissed and made up after
every quarrel.
If household expenses were pro-
porlioned to receipts.
If they tried to be agreeable as in
courtship days.
II each would try and be sup
port and comfort to each other.
If each remembered the other was
human being. not an angel.
If women we're so kind to their
husbands as they are TO their lovers.
If fuel and provisions were pro-
vided during the high tide of sum-
mer.
If both parties remembered that
they married for worse as well as tor
better.
If men were as thoughtful of their
wives as they are of their sweet.
hearts.
If there were fewer silk and velvet
street costumes and more plain, tidy
house dresses.
Blf there werefewer "plerse dar-
lings" in public and more common
manners in private.
II wives and husbands would take
some pleasure as things go along,
and not degenerate into mere toiling
machines. Recreation is necessary
to keep the heart in its place, and to
get along without it is a big mistake.

LYNCHED.
Two Desperadocs Hanged from the
Bridge ut American Falls.

A Chinaman was killed at Ameri-
can Falls, Idaho, last week, while
asleep in his tent. On last Sunday
night the following incidents trans
PRED there, as reported by the Ogden
Pilot of last evening: 1.-Two despera-
does, known as johnson and Tex,
had been loating around that part Of
the country during the summer and
had incurred the enmity of the law
abiding citizens, a number of whom
resolved to run them out of town.
They were waited upon and given un-
til 8 o'clock Sunday night to leave.
Suspicion rested upon them of hav-
ing murdered the Chinaman, who
was found dead in his cabin Sunday
morning. They responded to the
citizens demand to leave by saying
they would not; that there were not
men enough at American Falls to
make them leave, and thereupon be-
gan to shoot into the crowd. The
citizens then procured guns and re-
turned the fire, and the desperadoes
fled across the Snake river, threaten
ing to return and clean out the town
Returning, they met the night-watch
man who told them that they woult
be hanged. They then fired three
shots at him without effect. He re
piled with his revolver, and wounded
johnson three times, once in the arm
once in the body and once in thu
hand. Tex. then ran up and tried t,
kill the night Waterman, who having
used up his ammunition, grapplet
with and threw him down. At thi.
juncturc the citizens arrived ON tn,
ground, seized the two desperadoes
and putting ropes around their necks
} hanged them from the Oregon Shor
Line bridge over Snake river. TIL
bodies were cut down three hours at
forwards and buried by the citizens

A Fine Potato.

Last Saturday DR.. johnson, of the
Spring Dairy ranch, three miles below
ketchum, sent huge potato to the
editor of the TIMES. He handed it
to George Warren, driver of the Saw
tooth and Haley stage. Now, Mr..
Warren is man OF excellent judg-
ment and sound sense; SO, consider
ing that the editor of a daily paper
must be too busy to admit Of his devot-
ing much time to an examination of a
tuber, however admirable, he deter
mined to have it laid before him in
such Il way that the examination
would not consume much time, yet be
thorough and most satisfactory, and
he left it at the Nevada Chop House,
to be cooked and served to the TIMES
man. This was done yesterday. The
potato weighed over four pounds, was
almost as sweet as sweet potato, and
was partaken of by four or five gem
tlemen, who unanimously pronounced
it as fine potato as they had ever
eaten. The soil of this valley is evil
IDENTITY fertile, when such potatoes can
be raised SO near it's head as ketchum.

Machinery for the Vienna Mill.

At the lower end of Main street,
near the HALEY Brewery, are l6 wag-
ons loaded with Blake crusher, an
engine cylinder, bed-plate, main shaft,
and other machinery for the mill being
erected at Vienna to work the ores of
the Mountain King and Vienna mines.
This machinery has been five weeks
on the way from Blackfoot, and may
be as long as that again between this
place and Vienna, but Mr.. Johnson is
determined to get it in this fall, even
if he is compelled to take it across the
range in stoneboat, and travel on
the crust.

j. s. WALLACE GOING.
He Must Take Charge Of q Mining Prop
erty in Arizona,

1t is stated that J. S. Wallace, sup
erintendent of the Solace Mining Com
pany, of Vienna, is about to be trans
ferred, for the winter, to some mining
property which J. B. Haggin, of San
Francisco, owns in Arizona, and that
he (Wallace) is arranging his affairs
here SO as to leave them until spring.
This will compel Mr.. Wallace to aban-
don his cherished idea Of showing, by
practical demonstration, that where
there is will there is way of ex-
plotting mines and mills at all seasons
of the year, no matter what the obsta-
Giles in the way. The Solace mine is
situated at the very head of Smiley
gulch, where snow covers the ground
to depth of II to 30 feet. The Wen
ma mill, where Mr.. Wallace proposed
to have ore worked this winter, is sit
uated about mile and a half from
the Solace mine, at the base of the
mountain. To get the ore to the mill
it would be necessary to haul it down
the mountain, through the II to 30
feet OF snow, in weather when the
mercury frequently falls to 25 de-
grees below zero. 1t is not necessary,
at this time and in this place,
to dilate upon the difficulties
of such an undertaking, as all pros
pectors and miners are familiar with
them. But Mr.. Wallace intended to
overcome them. Having undertaken
this task, he would have accomplished
it, and thus blazoned way that would
have been followed in future years, in
mining operations everywhere. That
bugbear of an "open" or "closed"
winter would have disappeared, and
snow would have ceased to be deemed
an insurlnountable obstacle to the
profitable working of mines and mills.
His going thence will deprive Mr..
Wallace of the satisfaction of assisting
in the demonstration referred to, but
will not rob him of the benefits to ac-
crue to this section from it, for Mr..
johnson, of the Mountain King and
Vienna mine, who has acted in full
accord with Mr.. Wallace in this mat
ter, will doubtless complete the Wen
ma mill. and keep it in operation upon
ore from his mines.

now run on the winter schedule to

They lay over all night at Fish Creek
and at Arco. The passengers have

and scrapcrs were camped opposite
the Halfway House, y miles below
HALEY, yesterday, and 800 additional
men will be placed on the grade here

A Hat Stolen.

Some scoundrel last night came to
the church to secure new hat, and
finding that owned by the Rev. E.
Pratt suited to his fancy, he wore it
away and left in its place an old '49-er.
He is possibly the individual who stole
the blankets from Judge Prickett's
table, in the court room, and must be
one OF the gang which infests Boise.
The boys will have lariat party soon,
If such occurrences grow numerous
here,
