PICKED UP AND SENT TO THE
TELLER.

We have in our possession d letter in
the well known manuscripts hand wli.ing
Of w. s. Taylor, and addressed 10 .Ae
Coeur dAlene Post, dated Genesse, Oct.
Z, 1854, and signed annexation. 1t had
no envelope upon it when it reached us.
The contents OF the letter is laudatory of
Haley and himself as candidates for
Congress, and says they were in Wood
River when the letter purports to have
been written, and that the prospects Of
Taylor there were little ahead of HALEY
and that Singiser had no show. Now
the facts are that neither HALEY or Tay-
lor were anywhere in Wood River at the
time mentioned, on Oct. 9TH, and the
whole letter is an attempted fraud upon
the people OF the North by W. S. Taylor
attempted to be played through publ
cation in the Ceur d'Alene Post. We
learn that the Post did receive this letter
but declined to publish it, and we sup
pose it was thrown out as SO much waste
paper. 1t was accompanied with.a quar-
ter sheet, requesting Bro. Land to pub
fish and send him copy to Bellevue,
Idaho, and that he should indorsc him
for Delegate and signed in his own man
uscript. w. S. TAYLOR.
This is the man that HALEY has hired
to go with him and do his dirty work.

w. s. TAYLOR.

Southeastern exchange says of the
Rev. Dr. as follows:
THE ENTIRE PARTY HIMSELF.
A MIR. Taylor, who styles himself an
Independent Resident Republican caudi-
date for Congress, is on Wood River,
training with Mr.. HALEY, the Mormon
favorite. AS we have never heard of any
such party before, We presume that Mr.
Taylor has no following whatever; that at
the convention which nominated him he
was chairman, secretary, sergeant-at-arms,
and sole delegate; that he was, in fact,
the whole convention himself, as he is
the whole party himself. At any rate,
he is probably travelling at Mr.. Haley
expense, eating at his expense, and speak
ing at his expense; and his sole object is
to make votes for the Mormons candi-
date at the expense of the anti Mormons.
Rough on Haley and Taylor both.

E. O'Neil is q candidate for tn Office of
district attorney for the Nezs Perez district. |
Mr.. ONeil is quiet, intelligent, industrious
and honest man and trusty lawyer, who
makes no pledges nor boast, and any husi.
ness entrusted to him in behalf of the county
will be faithfully and earnestly attended to. (
lie has been with us some time aud has done
some business as district attorney under
Quacken5ush. during the illness of the latter
and has done it faithfully. If elected he will
make good and trusty officer.
You drive some of these sticklers for Hal
ley to the wal! in regard to Hailey's good
Earth on annexation now, who voted for Sing
giser two years ago, and they will tell you
they don't care much abont anne Ration, any
how, that they are afraid Of woman suiirages
If they go to Washington. They don't stop
to think that Washington as a state, will
have no woman suffrage in her constitution,
unless both the people Of North Idaho and
Washington vote for it to be there. A
measure which the people, VINO voted for
the constitution of 1878 when it was pre-
scented to them in seperate article, over
whelmingly rejected by four-fif,hs ma
jority.
| BODY FoUND.-A private letter from Os-
car Porter. to his brother, in this city, who
have band Of horses, on Snake, states that
while he and others were hunting stock
about half mile above Douglas old cabin,
the remains Of Douglas, who has been MISS
ing for the past year, were found by them
The only evidence of it being him was part
OF the clothing and his shoes still remained,
which they were acquainted with. They
buried the body as we'll as they could and
properly marked the spot There is NO
doubt but what he was thrown from his
horse and killed.
No Haley ne wspaper has favored the an.
nexation plank i'll the platform they prepared
for him, because they know that it is there
only to deceive the north and catch votes
Harley, himself, would not sign pledge te
support annexation, when here, and give il
to the press Tor publication in time to have
it made public in the south before election
lest he should lose the anti annexation voters
i'll the south. His professions on the STUN,
here in the north are not his own sentiment.
and his pretended promises that he will ia
vor annexation in congress are all a sham to
catch the democratic vote Of the north, ane
that is all there is of it, Ainslie deceived
some OF the democrats Of the north year,
ago by writing them letters that he woulc
not oppose annexation, and then went t,
congress and opposed with all his might, anc
his written record is again5t him in writing
But HALEY is careful not to put his name il
writing, SO that he can oppose and not hav,
his written pledge to rise up and condem,
him, for he knows that he will oppose II
case he be elected, and he knows Joe Ricl
!, tcld the truth when he said in the stage be
tween Boise City and Reno, that himsel
} and Hailey's friends did not intend tina
Haley should support annexation in con
} gress, when they put that plank in the plat
form.

Misplaced BenevOlence.

A one-legged man stood in a dark
doorway on Clark street last evening.
He leaned heavily on his crutches, and
looked weary and discouraged as he
gazed at the passing people. Presently
a tall man, with long hair and benev-
olent eye, halted near by and observed
him pitingly.
There, my friend, is 25 cents for
you,' said the tall man, patroniZiDgly.
as he pulled a coin out of his pocket
and held it toward the one-legged man
with something of flourish.
whats it FORE inquired the de-
spondent cripple, in a tone of surprise.
ut will buy you supper" said the
tall man grandly. Promise me you'll
not spend it for drink"
kind of you, I'm sure" murmured
the weary one-legged man. Call here
in the morning and hand it to the cashier
or one of the clerks"
''Why, are you not -" stammered
the tall man.
mo, I'm not begging this evening""
said the cripple, quietly. II am trying to

Why Sick People Drink Tea.

Why is it that those who are sick or
convalescing from sickness ask for and
relish cup of tea? Why is it, again,
that physicians will so often recommend
tea and forbid coffee? Plainly. the an
swer is because tea is the most whole
some beverage, and in this respect ex-
GELS coffee. But while the use of tea is
increasing, there is one class of the
community who do not realize the adj
vantages that tea offers them; and that
class is the very poor in purse, who re-
gard tea as a luxury that they cannot
afford. when, if they did but know it,
they could not afford to do without tea.
1t is the general use of tea that will save
many doctors bill. 1t is tea that as
sists digestion, and it is tea that makes
ones beefsteak 60 farther. In this re-
spect it is a positive economy, and it is
not always the lowest priced article that
is the cheapest. Quality in tea means
strength and flavor, and it is much bet
ter and cheaper to buy good tea at a
fair price than to get the very low in
price; and it is good tea that the poor

Two II Kind.

There are two members of the House
who have twin brothers who greatly
resemble them. The legislators who re-
joice in duplicates are Phil Thompson.
Of Kentucky, and Representative Horn,
OF Michigan. 1t is not an unusual thing
for MIR. Thompson's brother to find him
self gathered by the arm by one of the
Hon. Pills Democratic colleagues and
dragged in on theso6or of the House,
and the injunction Numbered in his ear,
''Why the dickens don't you get in your
seat and vote? Our bill is upon its pas
sage"
The other day Mr.. Horr's brother ap-
preached the main door of the House,
and the polite Democrat in charge
promptly snatched open the green baize
door and bowed him in on the House
floor. The Michigan twin strolled over
to his brothers seat, sat down, and took
part in all the opening ceremonies of
the Legislative day except that he failed
to answer the roll call. Representative
Reed, of Maine, who has some peculiar
way of identifying the Horn brothers,
concluded he would have little fun,
and slipped over and posted the Door
keeper. That functionary stalked over to
the desk of the Michig gan Statesman, and
informed the intruder that he must come
out. But" said the occupant of the
chair, my name is Horn; I'm from Mich
igan." The Democratic DOOrkeeper
looked hard at the intruder, and would
have weakened had not MIR. Reed made
signs for him to 60 ahead; that it was all
right. "But you are not Representative
Horr," said the guardian of the House,
land you must come outside" just
then the real Representative of the
Eighth Michigan District came in, and
the DoOrkeeper glared at the two in evil
dent dismay. "All right" said Repre-
sentative Horn, to his brother; ''you 90
outside and I'll come out and talk to
YOU As the twin passed out the Door
keeper took sort of mental photograph
of him with his eyes, and said to his
chum: 'I'll be bowed if he comes that
game on me again" In a moment or
two Mr.. Horn left the floor and joined
his brother in the corridor. After they
had finished their chat the Representa-
tive said to his brother: "YOu 90 in
now and take my seat again" As he
passed the portal the Doorkeeper smiled
confidently and said: ''All right, sir, l
know which is which now" When cit
izen Horn was again in his brothers
seat, Mr.. Reed again beckoned to the
Doorkeeper and said: Great heavens!
you've let the wrong man in again."
and then pointed to Representive Horr,
who was coming in from another door.
The bewildcred Doorkeepcr looked at
the two Horrs, and then as the cold
sweat gathered on his brow, he stam-
mered out: ''Fer Heavens sake, mark
'em some way, or I'm likely to turn the
other fellow in a caucus any night. -
