WADE HAMPTON ON DAYARD.
While writing about men and things in
connection with the Presidency, must
glYe your readers Ex-Gov. Wade Hampton's s
views OF Senator Bayard, as expressed TO
me IN late conversation with him:
"The South has no candidate TO push
fnrewaId, but we would like to zee Mr..
Bayard nominated, because we think he
could carry the doubtful States. Mr.. Bayard
is perfectly in accord with the financial
theories Of the East and West, and there is
growing feeling all over the country that be
would he safe man to nominate"
VERY NOVEL SUGGESTION
"Tbe next Convention ought to let the
doubtful States settle upon a man." contin.
ued Mr.. Hampton. "a caucus of the dele
gates from New York, New Jersey, Ohio,
Indiana and California should be allowed
to say what man would be most likely to
carry the geartest number Of those States
for the Democracy. The Convention would
not be lar wrong in nominating such
man, wherever he came from" "lsn't Mr..
Bayard Southern man, and didn't he
make a speech in ante bellum days that
would defeat him in Northern States?" "No

as part OF the South. That speech was

Wade Hampton is not the only one who
such feelings toward Mr.. Bayard,
who is now considered in the race.

COROsERs's INQUEST.
Jake Hollenbeck Died OF Exposure and
Exhaustion.

The body of Jake Hollendeck, who
was found dead a few yards from the
North Fork bridge on Wood River on
Wednesday morning, was brought to
Ketchum on toboggan Thursday eve
ming and placed in Union church to
await the Coroner's inquest. A jury
was assembled at 2 p. NJ and after an
examination of five witnesses rendered
verdict of death by exposure and
exhaustion"
The deceased left Ketchum on Tues
day evening for Galena with two COM
rades and travelled distance of about
four miles up the river, when he could
no longer keep up and they left him. He
reached Giihert's place, six miles from
Ketchum, half an hour behind them,
and, after few moments rest, again
started on his journey. After travelling
nearly two miles he evidently concluded
to camp, and, leaving the road about 80
feet, he built a fire in a clump Of cotton
woods, which spot subsequently showed

ceased having probably gone to
sleep and burned himself Ashes and
pieces of burnt overalls were found scat
tered about. His tracks lead from there
in an irregular course to the main road,
about three-fourths of mile further,
where the corpse was found lying face
downward, by Harry McCollum, Mr..
Allen and the mail carrier at about S
o'clock Wednesday morning. Deceased
had evidently stubbed his toes on the
snow crust, and, falling face first, smoth-
cred in the snow. His nose was broken
and portions of the right limb badly
| burned.
The burial occurred to- day at 10 A. NJ,
| after short ceremony at Union Church.
| Mr.. Decatur deserves credit for SER
vices rendered in deeeased's burial, to
| which the citizens made liberal contri-
| buttons. Deceased had no personal
property or money.

Wood River.

An Eastern correspondent to the
Times expresses the following self evil
dent truths concerning the future of
Wood River:
1.-THE Wood River country is decided
~ beginning to look up in the East, and
! feel satisfied that there is 4 big boom
in store for it in the near future; but
your people ought to kill on sight all
''tenderfee5' sent out by Eastern COM
panies TO manage mines-provided you
want good results and satisfaction guar
anteed to the parties interested. We of
Titfin have "been there" and talk from
dearly bought experience
The late sales of the Minnie Moore
and other first class mines in Alturas
county have done much toward bring
ing the Wood River country into notice.
My advice to all intending investors
in your country is to buy early, this
spring, or they will get left-for Johnny
Bull has his eye on your country and
means to invest largely before the next
snow flies.
The Forest Greek Company propose
renewing work on their mines as soon
as spring opens and one of the company
can visit Wood River. This company
will yet make Narrow Gauge gu1ch busy
as beehive"

dens are alive to their duty and respon-

OF fire destruction 1t is important for
the citizens to heed their commands not
only for the great common good-our
very existence has hitherto hung by Il
slender thread of chance--but for their
own pecuniary grace. 1t is the power
and duty of the fire wardens to compel
every citizen of Ketchun to make such
repairs and improvements as are thought
necessary for the public safety and ev-
cry earnest business man viii recognize

supercede stove pipes with one grand
accord throughout the town, and then
there will be no reason for complaint.

The New Brewery Saloon.

The elegant new Brewery Saloon,
corner of Main and Second streets,
Thomas Mitchell, proprietor, IS
opened to the public this eve
ming. 1t is one Of the most
elaborate and commodious estab-
ishments of the kind in Idaho, ranking
second only to Fitzsimmons' 'Metropol-

25x80xl4 in the clear, well nodded and
elegantly finished. The bar counter
and back bar fixtures are of solid black
walnut, highly polished, this furniture
having been imported from Chicago.
The room is furnished with the latest
styles of chandeliers and the latest
novelties in lamps and burners. It is
brilliantly lighted and otherwise very
attractive. A fine Brunswick billiard
table is among the leading features of
the place.
The papering and grazing of this
place are very elaborate and skiIlfully
executed by Dewitt DeLeon and assist
ants.
Mr.. Mitchell is a pioneer of Ketchum
and an esteemed gentleman. His place
has always been popular and will no
doubt continue to be SO.
