"UNFAIR WARFARE

The Ketchum Keystone speaks q
few words in behalf of common de.
cency, under the above heading, ~
follows:
Some people are of opinion that
anything is fair in war, and especially
in political war. We are one who il
not Of that belief. No man, it mat.
tiers not how anxious he may be to
gain a vote or make point in a polit.

or lawful right, or any other right, to
villify the character of his opponent
and make him to appear before the
public " man unworthy of q place

not understand the true inwardness Of
things. The affidavit business is H.
ways recognized as last reso,t-a
kind OF iorlorn hope, last sinking
struggle to rise again. 1t has become
too common. 1t is always sprung at
time when the victim has little on.
portunity to set himself right. 1t is a
mean, contemplate manner of war
fare, and should be discountenanced
by the honest voters of both parties.
The party to the affidavit Is unworthy
of notice or of no good character; It
is his stock in trade; he Is ALWAYS
knowing something nobody else
knows or ever dreamed of until he
springs it.
That is exactly the policy which we
have pursued. We are supporting
the Republican and anti-Mormon
ticket, and expect to see it elected.
To that end we are willing to do all
we can. But we will not besmlrch
the character of the candidates on the
opposite ticket, because we consider
that it is wrong to do so. The parties
who placed these men in nomination
knew their records, the people also
know them, and if they choose to put
them in office, it is their business.
The people of Alturas would be
doing wrong, however, and acting
contrary to their interests, if they
failed to elect the anti. Mormon ticket.
On that ticket are men whose integ-
rity and qualifications have never
been questioned. Those of them who
are candidates for reelection have dis.
charged their duties so faithfully that
the grand jury, after a critical exam
nation, highly complimented them. If
he people of Alturas wish to secure
good officials; to make it an object
or their officials to be honest, eff.
'lent and satisfactory, they will return
hese men by increased majorities,and
hus set precedent that will cause
very official elected in future to do
lis level best to give satisfaction to
lis constituents.
AS to those on the ticket who have
'ot before held Office in Alturas coun.
y, they are so we'll and favorably
;nown that the people will take no
hances in electing them. In doing
o they will secure set of officials
hat will keep the county finances in
heir present desirable condition, re.
uce taxes, open up the country, and
e credit to the people.

CONTEMPTIBLE BUSINESS.

The Democratic County Central
Committee sent abroad for their post.
ers, because they could save a few dol.
lars by doing SO. The printers and
workinemen of Wood River, who pay
taxes here and live here, should bear
this in mind, and OIL election day let
the Democrats see what they think of
such picayunish policy.

LET NOT ONE VOTE BE LOST.

The citizens of Alturas county, ire.
spective of party, should bear in mind
the fact that the re-apportionment Of
members of the Legislature will be
based upon the voting strength of the
counties. 1t is therefore of the great
est Importance that every vote should
be polled at the next election. that
possibly can be. Every resident voter
should do his best to have all vote who
are entitled to do so.

THE FIGHT PRACTICALLY OVER

Au1 EAUuI FHACIlCALLY OVER
1t is denied by the Democrats tina,
the result of the Ohio election settle,
the Presidential campaign. That is
SIMPLY because the result is aqains,
them. But the utterances of the re.
spective standard. bearers will doubt
less be accepted as authoritative.
About 10 O'Clock the morning of the
18th, Mr.. Hendricks, addressing a
large assemblage ut Lancaster, Ohio,
said "If Ohio tomorrow shall SUP.
port the Democratic cause, the fight
is over"
A few hours later, at Upper San
dusky, Mr.. Blaine, addressing a very
enthusiastic crowd, said "A speech
on political topics is too late. Action
is the word now. Tomorrow Ohio is
to proclaim the result Of the Presiden
tial election. hope the Republicans
ct the State are ready for the trial"
That the campaign will surely result
in the election of Blaine and Logan is
evident from the decentralization every.
where evident among the Democrats.
They are oven beginning to speak of
at least three States of the "Solid
South" as doubtful, and urging upon
their partisans the importance of car.

OPENING THE DOOR TO FRAUD.

A strong point is heing made
against the Democrats in the Eastern
States, because of their action on the
registration law. This law, as every.
one knows. is Republican measure
to prevent, as much rs possible, the
casting of any illegal votes; aud it
had been in force since the first years
OF power of the Republicans.
The Democrats no sooner gained
control of the Ohio Legislature, two
years ago, than they repealed the reg.
istratioI law! This action of the Leg.
'slature was at once looked upon as
intended to open wide the door for
frauds ut elections, and the Dem.
ocrats lost many votes in consequence.

Some Queer Sights in Mexico.

On the ride up to Mexico two
things especially attract the atten-
tian of the tourist-the soldiers, by
their presence, and the priests, by
their absence. Every passenger
train has one car filled with armed
soldiers who accompany it to pro-
tect it from highwaymen The ru-
raj guard-rurales, as they are call
ed-also watch its movements.
When the engineer whistles for a
station the passengers at the window
will see dashing cavalry officer in a
gray uniform of fbuckskin, fully arm
ed, gallop across the fields on hand
some horse and head off the train.
He exchanges,a "a few words with the
Major in command of the train
probably 'all well"-and on goes
the cars again. Sometimes there
are two or more of these men in
buckskin, and there are 2000 of
them jim all, watching the railroad
interests. 1t seems to me that all
the fuss and parade m ist be rather
a survival of the times of disturbance
which recent years have seen, rath-
er than present necessity, every
thing here appears to be so quiet
and so safe; but perhaps the gov
ernment knows best.
OF priests there were, of course
none visible, for priests are prohib-
tied by law from appearing in their
robe; anywhere in Mexico. The
universal confiseation of Churches
and converts has also subjected this
curious property to some strange
vicisitudes.. As late as the year
1859 one-third of all the real and
personal property of Mexico was
owned by the Catholic Church.
The Indian reformer and father of
his country" Juarez, rose uD and
confiscated it all at a blow. Many
of the religious institutions sold out
to whomever would buy. Some
churches are used as tobacco ware
houses. some Gas at Zacatecas and
Montery) for hotels, and some for
public schools. | was told that the
monastrIy of Soledad was a stable,
and the convent at 0rizaba, where
we tarried ali night. is now the are
ma for bull fights. Verify, there
has been an overturning in Mexico.

cience to foresee Jaurez.

Keep up your Trees.

A tree, undoubtedly, is one of the
most beautiful objects in nature !;
airy and delicate in its youth, luxu-
RANT and majestic in its prime, ven
cradle and picturesquein in its old age,
it constitutes in its various forms,
sizes and developments the greatest
charm and beauty of the earth in
all countries. The most varied out
line of surface, the finest combina-
ton OF picturesque materials, the
stateliest country house would be
comparatively tame and spiritless
without the inimitable accompani-
ment of foliage. Let those who have
passed their lives in a richly wooded
country, whose daily visions are
deep leafy glens, forest-clad hills
and plains luxqriantly shaded,
transport themselves for a moment
to the desert, where but a few stun
ted bushes raise their heads above
the earth, or those wild steppes,
where the eye wanders in vain for
some ''leafy garniture," where the
eye wanders in vain for some leafy
garniture," where the sun strikes
down with parching heat or the wind
sweeps over with unbroken fury, and
they may perhaps estimate by con-
trast their beauty and value.

How Piute InuIans Fish.

Rabbit-hunting and fishing con-
stitute the business of life now tC
the Piute warriors in Nevada, since
the buffalo have travelled north, and
the antelope is fast following them
and in the caplre and killing OF
such small deer he is exceedingly
expert, His fishing tackle consists
of bit Of light rope, weighted with
stone at one end, and grasped by
the hand of the fisherman at the
other. To this line are attached at
regular distance half dozen or
more hooks made out of rabbit
bones, in the form of a narrow let
ter V: and the angel of each V
again is fastened short line made
of sinews, and baited with some
such trifie as snail or fresh-wa-
ter sucker. The fish, swallowing
the bait and the line, swallows also
the hook, which is so acted upon by
the tension of the line as to ex-
pand its two prongs ana fasten them
firmly in the victims throat; and
whirls and darts about the line,
attracting all its family and the
neighbors to swallow the same scare
until the angler has counted a bite
for every hook, and quietly draws
in hts main line heavy with
spoils.

Brnyan i'm London.

In his latter days Bunyan's figure
was tolerably familiar in London.
He preached regularly in South
Bark-in an open space near the
Falcon-and people thronged to
hear him, so that he could count
upon regular congregation Of some
800 souls. John Wesley's father
heard him preach ON Newington
Green. That he had many friends
in London is evident from the num-
Der of people who attended his funer-
al and from the handsome tomb
that soon after his death was built
over his grave. Twenty or thirty
years ago this tomb, which had fall
en- into decay, was restored, but has
already assumed a time-worn, wealth
ervo appearance. Stone proba-
bly, perished more quickly in a
London atmosphere than under any
other conditions, and, looking round
at the headstones and tombs, it is
evident that at the end of 30 years
or so inscriptions, unless renewed in
the meantime, are mostly illegible,
while in country churehyards epi-
taphs of the last century or Of even
earlier dates are often easily TO be
deciphered.

Bcecher's bad Head.

For two months in the year Hen
ry Ward Beecher can't preach. In
August and September he takes his
vacation and endures the onset of
the hay fever. And it is, so he says,
something terrible and tremendous.
A man with hay fever isn't account
able for his actions. He is merely
a wild beast-frantic with snuffing,
sneezing and headache. His eyes
are red and so is his nose. Every
nerve in his skull thrills with dis
tress and his head is a fountain of
tears. He lives only to fly from sea-
side to mountain-top In search of
relief. And yet, whether We call
this form of catarrh hay-fever, rose
fever, hay-cold or rose-cold, Ely's
Cream Balm will cure it. This rem
edy is simple, pleasant and easy of
application. Placed in the nostrils,
it penetrates and soothes the affected
parts at once, restores the impaired
senses and creates healthy secretions
in cases of the longest standing. You
cannot run away from hay-fever,
but you can drive it from you by
using Ely's Cream Balm.

Lots of Fun They Had.

1t was nothing but palm
leaf fan. 1t occupied whole bench
by itself in a grove not far from the
entrance of Druid Hill Park. 1t
had lonesome look,
as if longing to be swung
through the hot summer air. Pres
emily portly gentleman, with his
necktie disarranged, his hat set back
and his mouth well open, tripped
up the path. He stretched his arms
wiped off the prespiraton, and see
ing the bench made for it and sat
down. He grabbed the fan and
swooped 1t in the air. Right away
he gave tremendous sneeze re-
peated it again repeated it twice
more, and thrice more again. Then
he gazeu at the fan, dropped it,
scowled at his hands. and with
steady stride made for the pump,
muttering curses with each breath.
Next came sleekly dressed swell.
He was tanning with his hat. He
saw the fan, Lucky, by JoveW he
SAID, as he sat down on the bench.
He grabbed the palm leaf. He look
ed at his hand and straightway
made for the pump. The Park was
now becoming full of people. A
portly young lady in white attache d
to slim man in brown meandered
up the path. 'Oh, amt we for
tunate? ?" she SAID. Here's a shady
bench-and just look, there's a big
fan, too" They sat down. She
picked up the fan and shook it in
her face. A look of sorrow came
into her eyes and sneeze into her
nose. The young man in brown
snatched it. He also dropped it.
Then the two showed each other
their hands. They took out their
handkerchiefs and began wiping.
Presently they left the seat. Then
two small boys crept from behind a
near clump of trees grinning porten-
tiously. They saw the fan. One of
them took it by the top and moved
off. Billy" said he to his COM
panion, well git some more lasses
AN red pepper 'en try her again"

hard-fought political campaigns the
noble wife went with her husband
assisting in much of his work oi
correspondence and copying, and
frequently receiving his friends
and comforting with him on the de-
tails of the campaign. When Mr.
Logan came to Congress as Repre-
sentative Mrs. Logan came with him
She remained with him in Washing
ton until the outbreak of the rebel
hon, when he resigned his seat in
Congress TO return to Illinois to go
into the seryite of his country.
The war having commenced and
Mr., Logan having raised and been
assigned to the command of the
Tbirty-first Illinois Volunteers, Mrs.
Logan, with her only living child,
then three years old (now Mrs. Tuck
err, returned to her fathers home at
Marion. The Illinois troops having
been ordered into camp at Cairo,
Mrs. Logan joined her husband there.
During the fierce battle of Belmont
Mrs. Logan heard the booming OF
the guns across the turgid food OF
the Mississippi. In the midst of
painful and anxious suspense for
the safety of her own, of whom she
felt that he was in the thickest of the
conflict, she gave helping hand to
the care of the wounded and suffer
ing soldiers as they we're brought
back from that bloody field.
DURING TIE WAR.
When the army entered upon the
Tennessee river campaign, Mrs. Lo-
gan again returned to her home. but
was soon shocked by the news from
Donnelson that her husband had
fallen at the head of his charging
columns, dangerously wounded. She
hastened to the scene to care for her
husband. For days it was strug-
gle between life and death.
At Memphis. in the winter of
1923, Mrs. Logan again Joined her
husband. now a general, and re-
manned there until he led his troops
in the campaign which ended in the
surrender of Vicksburg.
During this time and to the end
af the war Mrs. Logan remained at
Carbondale, where, out of the Gen
erals salary, they had bought an
unpretentious home
Upon his return from the war
General Logan was nominated by
acclamation for Congressman-at-
Large. After his election Mrs. Lo-
gan returned to Washington and has
been one of the prominent figures in
society ever since.
The arduous work of the ap-
preaching campaign will find Mrs.
Logan again exerting all her genius
for the success of her husband
and with that the success of the Re
publican ticket. The mass of cor
respondence pouring in from day to
day she dispatches with her own
hands and the aid of a stenographer.
She also lends her presence to the
numerous visits of congratulation
from committees and individuals
from all parts of the country. The
most Jealous person for the ticket in
Washington and also one of the per-
sons who viii work most earnestly
for its success will be Mrs. John A.

Young Corn Desrroyers.

To kill the greenish gray worm
which eats young corn soon after it
comes up Mr.. Sturtevont, of the
Agricultural Experiment Station.
Geneva, n. Y, says that as the in
sect probably drags the cut off por-
ton into his retreat beneath the sur
face to feed upon at his leisure dur
ing the day. his food can be poison
ed by busting Paris green or London
purple over the plants while wet
with dew. As the more economical
and less dangerous in its use, |
would ask that the experiment be
made with London purple, mixed
with Hour to proper degree of
dilatlon which shall be found by
first testing it upon a few hills-per-
haps one part of the purple to twen-
ty of flour. If care be used in the
application SO that the powder
shall reach the stalks of the corn at
the point where they are cut off, the
small portion of the poison consum-
ed in the cutting offoperation, would
probably suffice to kill the caterpil-
lar. The other method which is
known to be effectual, is to employ
the cheap lobor of boys. by having
them go over the field few times
(four or five times at proper inter-
walls, are usually sufficient and dig
out and destroy the caterpillars from
the hills showing the attack. They
are easily found-sometimes as
many as five in a hill. A writer
who states that he has always found
this method successful, bears this
in its favor One year,
on six acres, the worms had begun
in such numbers that it was obvious
that the corn would be DESTROYED
unless something was promptly
done. We set two men at work,
who continued at them Tor ten days,
on and off, amounting to four days
work in all, and costing one dollar
per acre, and entirely saving the
crop Of over 800 bushels.

5000 proselytes, men, women and
children. OF these 406 are Scandi-
