Our Telephone System.

The telephone system on Wood River,
as it is now managed and conducted, is,
if any benefit to the community. more
disgraceful than useful One might as
well try to whisper across beer nall in
full blast, and hope to be heard, as to
undertake to effect successful commu-
nication between Ketchum and HALEY,
or any other down river town. Wheth-
er it is the fault of the central offices or
the patronage at large we shall not es-
say to decide, but it is enough to exper-
fence the blat and confusion of half
dozen operators over the same line,
without any satisfaction to anyone save
the office manager who cody pockets
your four bits as you saunter ont in
search of some practicable means of
transmitting simple message. The
price charged, again, is an additional
imposition, and bars out the greatest
portion of a trade that would otherwise
be lucrative. Many persons content
themselves with letter communications
on matters of no great Importance, while
a reasonable fee for the use of tele-
phone would induce them to adopt that
system of communication. Local maa-
ayers cannot be blamed for the confu-
sion. 1t is the system that needs
improving.

the murmuring brook and evergreen pine
make their home. Our prospects were never
better for bountiful harvest of grain and
fruit than now-eSpecially the fruit trees.

of fruit every year, as we have late frosts

heavy growth of pines, of the yellow and

ter facilities To market, perfect paradise
for the lumbernen; but the time is not far
distant when we shall have the iron
horse in these hills, when the land will
become settled and every thing will pros

stead of forward in business facilities.
There are several mines here that are
good-aS good rs are to be found in the State,
but capital is needed to odeveop them
The climate here is healthy. Being at
such an elevation, il is always cool in sum

making it delightful The water is cold
and clear as crystal. There is also good
fishing in most of our streams, and small
game is abundant. Larger game Is tu be

consented To act rs donor of from four To six

SO exceedingly feeble when the first transfer

OvERwoRK.-A large amount of senH-
mental rot gets into print about men kill
ing themselves by overwork. In nine out
out of ten cases of this kind, the true cause
of death will be found to be something
besides overwork We all know profess
sional and business men who work harder
than they ought, and yet by taking good
care of themselves in the way of diet, exer-
else, etc, manage to enjoy good health and
wear cheerful, hearty look. Those who
die from overwork generally use liquors
and tobacco without moderation, keep late
hours, and indulge in hazardous specula
tions outside of their legitimate business.
Late hours liquors and tobacco engender
weak nerves and upset the functions of the
body, while anxiety over speculative
schemes acts ON the brain. With these evil
agencies working against man, some
slight exposure brings on an attack of i'll
ness and the whole body being weakened,
gives way in very short time. The sud
den illness and speedy demise battle medi-
cal skill, the stricken family and shocked
friends are told that overwork was the
cause of death, and the press deplores the
tendency of our civilization to kill people
by overwork, when the real cause of nine
tenths of these deaths is as outlined above.

n RUSSIAN ADVENTURES The death of
Countess Henckel, of Donnesmark, recalls
the memory of the adventurous career of
one of the most remarkable of modern ad-
venturesseS. Countess Henckel began life
as a poor Russian girl, and was at first
married to tailor, Life with the silent,
ever-busy husband became dull before
long, and one day the tailor fohnd that his
wife, and with her his scant savings, had
departed. She had fled to Paris, where she
soon appeared in the highest circles as a
reputed wife of rising artist When it
was found out how things stood she left
the gay capital and after while turned
up in London, where her beauty and
intelligence were held to atone for her
multitude of sins. After amassing conSid-
cradle riches in London she turned her
back on England and appeared again at
Paris, the gayest among the gay, where she
married a rich Portuguese Marquis. She
gathered around her many fashionable lit
erary and scientific celebrities. and kept her
small court in an elegant residence of the
Champs Elysees until the death of the
Marquis She afterwards married the
Count Henckel of Donnesmark, and died
at the age of y at the castle which, in imi
