ab ode with the loved ones gone before = was my privilege to have been quite inti- mately ac1usinted with the victims of this sad accident MT Steen came here ten years ago almost a boy, he has, indeed taken on manhood's estate among us. lis life has been an open book before us all and its pages are clean; it has been that ot an upright, honest man; q prominent ana useful citizen. We may pass and repass our fellow men daily and have cold busl- ness relations with them constantly, and yet not know them-not know the best part of the inner man; and it is only when we learn the heart by being close to them 1n hours of affiiction, that you can we'll know them.
 It is less than a year ago that he was forced to part with his beloved wife-now sleeping by his side-while she went to Los Angeles for the improvement of her health. She was a very sick woman, and her only hope of recovery was in a change of climate. At the request of her husband and brother, they being unable to leave their business at that time, l accompanied her, and at the hour of parting, l got glimpse of Mr. Steen's true nature. l learned that that the great, strong man had heart like woman's s; 1 saw beneath the rough exterior of strong manhood nature tender, warm and affeetionate. And when few months later, while his-wife was sick at my house, suffering from serious attack of pneumonia and Mrs. Davis wrote ma ! .t.. l. h baT doubtful, and Robert and I had to break the news to him, his great heart burst | forth in uncomfortable moans of anguish, and chains would have been hardly strong enough to have kept him from flying to her side.
 She recovered and returned here with him and we have all been delighted at her steady improvement in health until she had become again the happy. cheerful helpnlate at her husbands side as of old.
 Vain would it be for nc to attempt to pronounce our dead sisters eulogy. All who knew her will testify that she was a kind, tender and gentle lady, a devoted and affeotionate wife and mother, and rarely do husband and wife live and love together with warmer love and deeper devotion, than did this couple, now side by side in calm and everlus ing sleep. And sweet little Nellie. Oh! 1t ems so sad, that one su good, so bright, 50 full of promise, should be thus cut down in the spring time of budding youth. Those who knew little Nellie. but admired her for her wonderful brightness of mind, her sweet disposition and decorous behavior. Never toaoler in our schools bat will testify that she was
 the quickest to learn, the best in deport. nent of the whole sohool: and Der school mates will aIl miss and mourn little Nellie wben they look upon her vacant seat at the little school hoase over tho way.
 Bat friends,wa must bid them all farewe! to-day. and if beyond the grave there be life everlasting, their smiles will welcome us upon the farther >hore-

Poor as the prodigal who fed with swine. His dimes all spent in riot and in wine, Chased by misfertunes over hill and dale Like a stray dog with tin can to his tail, Too poor to leave, and out of luck to-stay, His chance is small to ever get away.

Mr.. Parkinson, of Boise, and the writer
Ct this sketch, who then represented the
great county of Shoshone, occupied the
same table in tho hall, when the ques-
ton of naming the new county came
up. Several names were proposed,
those of Grant, L ncoln, Douglas, etc.,
being among the number. Some good
huDlored sparring ensued, during which
Mr.. Parkinson whispered to his desk
mate that "A la was pretty name,
and that it was the name OF his col.
Leagues little daughter; ne. Mr.. Parkin-
son, would esteem it a.personal favor if
his friend from Shoshone would offer
Ada as the name of the new county.
This was done and the motion carried |

that the party who filed the homestead

the present will be to hold in allegiance
the acquiring OF title to the land upon

be built Statesman.
Another effect will be to show to the
world the exultation m anifested in and
around Boise City over anything they
think will check the growth Ct any
other Idaho town. They would gladly
hail any flaw in the title Ct CAld we'll but
cannot fild it; the next best thing is to
worry the promoters of its growth.
