Two inmates of the county pool
house just died. Mrs. Martha Mathis,
aged thirty three years, died of cancer on
Sunday after lingering several months.
She left two children, aged six and
four years, the youngest boy. These
unfortunate waits will probably be
adopted by humane parties. The
mothers ca SO was peculiar, sad and
distressing one. She was deserted, we
are informed. by her husband and al
lowed to 60 on the county by well-to-do
parents and two strapping brothers.
Turned out sick unto death, and desti-
tute, with two helpless children; turned
out to die by her own flesh and blood.
We rejoice that such instances are rare,
even among the most degraded Chinese
residents. This display Of the lack Of
common instincts of humanity certain
ly comes from some late arrival in our
midst.
The other death was that of Frank
White, who died Yesterday morning of
consumption. His age was twenty
one, came from Minnesota, and had
been an inmate since November last
Boise Democrat.

An Accomplished Gentleman.
Laramie Boomerang, March .. j

This evening DR.. Edward Chiles, who
has been chief chemist at Gramm's
drug store in this city for the past four
months, leaves for Caldwell, Idaho, to
take charge of the establishment just
located there by Messrs. Gramm G.
Little. He is practical physician and
chemist, havsDg graduated at the
Philadelphia College of Pharmacy, and
held the chairs of chemistry in the
Polytechnic University, and Of theory
and practice of pharm ICY in the Penn
sylvania College Of Pharmacy, at Pnila-
delphia for several years. Leaving
Philadelphia some years ago, DIR. Chiles
located at Oakland, California, whore
he established large drug store, and
cid fine business thence he travelled
all over the western country, and
finally went south, and opened drug
store at Chattanooga, Tennessee, where
he bravely remained during the yellow
fever epidemic of 1873, keeping his
store open day and night, and dealing
out medicines to the rick with q
courage that won for him the warmest
esteem of all. From Chattanooga, DR..
Chiles again came west, and has since
done business at Lsadville, Denver, and
through the northern Territories. He
is not only man of thorough education
in his line, but a genial, polished gen.
tleman, to know whom Is at onco an
honor and pleasure. A host of Lara
mic friends regret his departure; but
wish him abundant success in his new
field.

What Farmers are Buying.

Editor Tribune: l have just made
the rounds of our hardware stores to
ascertain what our farmers are doing
in the way Of preparing for the coming
season, with the following result:
Sold at the two principal houses
Balm wagons, 5; Schuttler wagons, 5;
Caldwell wagons, g; double seated
spring wagons, 10; sulky plows, z;
walking plows, about 40; with q great
number OF smaller implements Of every
variety. Patent harrows have been in
great demand also fencing wire.
found Charley Mcconnell at Cof1in
Brothers, putting up the following bill
Gall for one man): plows, 2 harrows,
1 Caldwell wagon and 5000 pounds of
fencing wire. Drills and seeders have
been in good demand and all sold that
have been shipped. The prospect Ct
large Touring mi being built at Cald-
well this season has been an incentive
to the farmers to put in to grain all
their available land There has been
q good trade from the Payette Valley
and south side OF Snake river since the
roads became settled ; the people of
the valleys begin to see that they can
get better bargains and better goods at
the railroad than elsewhere and will
continue to come. Boise City thinks
10, too, or she would not be in such a
,weat to get the branch road.
