ONE OF SHE JUDGES PROTESTS.
But He Does Not Even Claim that the
Returns were Complete.
kETCHUM, Nov. 10, 1873.

kErcHUM, Nov. 10, 1884.
To THE EpIrOn OF THE TINES:
In your issue of the 18th you say that
"the judges of the election alone are
to blame for the Kctchum returns
being thrown out, as no check-l list or
poll'book accompanied them" You
also say: "The tally-sheet and state
ment Of votes east for each candidate
was simply sheet of brown wrapping
paper" | suppose your object in
printing the above was to show that
the people of ketchum, and especially
those much-berated judges, are moth.
ing but "nincompoops."
Mr.. Wheeler laborcd very hard in
a recent number Of the Ketchum Kew
stone to show that he was in no way
to blame in the matter. | thought Of
answering it at the time it was pub
lished, but concluded it was better to
say nothing. But 1t has now gone so
far that deem it best to state certain
facts that Mr.. Wheeler did not state.
He says that on the opening o; the
polls he left with the judges the stat
utes to govern them. He does not say
that he neglected to leave the revised
law or registry law.
asked him particularly where the
poll-list and tally-sheets were, with
printed headings, as had always seen
them used. He said there were none
furnished; as for the poll-list, we did
not need 1t, as we had check lists to
check off the voters as they voted, and
we would send one of them down With
the returns. | do not think he desi e.
mated which list should be sent, and
when We made up the returns we sent
the one in book form, as it was really
the most complete. AS there were no
tally sheets, told Mr.. Wheeler that
we must have some large paper to
make them out on. 1t was not until
late in the afternoon, and after he had
been urged several times to bring it,
when he brought the brown wrapping
paper, as you prefer to call it.
Now, it is not for the desire of see
ing my name IN print that | request
you to insert this in your paper, but it
is for the purpose OF letting the public
know that all the blame does not rest
on the judges of the election. ket.
chum keystone please copy.
Yours respectfully,
WIN. Ii. DANGLEY.
There undoubtedly are mitigating
circumstances connected with the
matter, but the fact remains that if il
poll or check -lst had been kept, as re-
quired by law, and the returns had
been complete otherwise, the Board OF
Canvassers COULD NOT have
thrown them out.-ED

Night there will BE- Trouble, Sure!
About s O'Clock last night, as the
eight year.old son of Hon. James II.
Hawley was on his way down town on
an errand, he stumbled INTO an open
ditch on Carbonate street. The lads
chin struck on rock on the edge of
the ditch, and was severely confused,
and he was also seriously injured
about the limbs ard body. The lad
was taken home, and Mr.. Hawley was
so angered at seeing him in that con-
dition that he came down town to
make complaint against the Water
Company, but not finding Judge Par
SONS he returned home. This morn
ing he concluded to overlook the mat
ter; but he requested the TIMES to
state the facts and inform the Water
Company that they are liable, under
various statutes, (for maintaining a
nuisance, obstructing the streets, etc. }
for neglecti"g to keeplighted lanterns
at their open bitches. Mr.. Hawley
also stated that, unless a light is kept
at the bitches in future, complaint will
surely be made.
The attention of the officers of the
Water Company is called to this mat
ter, in the hope that they will see the
necessity Of protecting their bitches at
night. 1t aperson were to break a
leg by falling in the ditch, the result
ing suit for damages might bankrupt
the Company.

Josh Billings on Inadelity.

Impudence, ingratitude, Ignorance
and cowardice make up the creed Of in

Did you ever hear of q mans r.
nouncing Christianity on his death-bG

Neither gamblers nor free-thinkes
have faith enough in their profession to
teach it to their children.
No atheist, with all his boosted braY.
cry, has ever yet dared to advertise bis
unbelief on his tombstone.
A man may learn infdelity from
books, and from his associates, but be
can't learn it from his mother nor the
words of God that surround him.
Unbelievers are always so ready and
anxious to prove their unbelief, thatl
have l have thought they might be just
a little doubtful about it themselves.
The infidel, in his impudence, will
ask you to prove that the flood did o.
cur, when the poor idiot himself cant
even prove, to save his life, what make,
one apple sweet and one sour, or tell
why a hens egg is white and a ducks,

When l hear a noisy infidel proclaim.

send for some brother infidel to come

Left Without q Parson.

"1f people would only consider the
trouble that arises from a failure ia
place a proper amount of stamps upon
their letters they would be more care.
full" said Postmaster Huldekoper, OF
Philadelphia, the other day. IA case
recently arising brought this matter to
my mind. A prominent member of the
Methodist Episcopal Conference mailed
a letter last Saturday morning at ten
o'clock, directed to a member of his
church in New York, stating that he
would not be home to preach on Sun
day, and to make other arrangements.
The letter was mailed, and, being over
weight, was marked due two cents. ,
When it arrived in New York, accord
ing to the rules of the department,
it was given to a clerk to be rated and
charged, and then sent to the carriers
department., where another entry had to
be made and the sum charged to the
carrier upon whose route twas to be de-
livered. In the regular order of bust
ness it reached the carrier, but too late
to be sent out on Saturday. The conse
quence was that in the first delivery of
Monday morning the letter was dis
patched to the person entitled to receive
1t. The minister heard from his con-
gregation before the members did from
him, and consequently he was COM
PEELED to make an explanation of the
causes which led him to leave his flock
without a shepherd. If he had placed
another two-cent stamp upon the letter,
it would have been handed over imme-
diately upon arrival to the carrier and
taken out in the last delivery of Satur-
day. Such cases are frequent not only
in this, but in every Office in the coun-
try, and the consequence is that letters
are delayed from three to four hours
during the day so that a proper record
and charge a be made. Letters upon
which postage has not been paid are not
forwarded at all. 1t is desirable that
the printed card or the written name and
address Of the sender should be placed
on every letter or package before it is
posted, so that in case of non-delivery il
can be returned to the writer. By the
observance of this simple rule much
trouble and time can be saved."-Phu

A NEW FIELD FOR THE LADIES

Mr., EDITOR Much has been written
regarding proper and renumerOtive cm-
ployment for women. Silk culture, ponl-
try raising, and several other themes have
been thoroughly ventilated, and the result
has, no doubt, been very beneficial,
But there are many ladies who have no
opportunity TO raise silk worms, or follow
any employment of that kind. To that
class l wish to open what to me was en-
tirely new field. Some three months ago
an uncle OF mine from Albany, New York,
was visiting at our home and we were
talking OF plated ware, which lie was en-
gagged in manufacturing. And 10 crafty
my curiosity he made plating machine
and replated our knives forks, spoons aud
castor. Some OF our neighbors saw what
he had done, wanted me to do some pla
ting for them. / have since then worked
% days, have cleared in that Time S94 "a.
AT almost every house got from 50 to SO
worth OF plating to do. Such work il most
all profit. The work is an nice for ladies
as for gentlemen, as il is all indoor work
and any one can d., it. My brother, al
| though he worked days longer than l
did, only made sol 30
am getting mp collection of curio.i
ties and To any of your readers that will
send me specimen will send inll direc-
tions for making and using plating ma.
cline like mine, that viii plate gold, silver
and nickle. Send small pieces of stones,
ores, Shells leaves, old coins, &c. Any
kind of geological specimens will do
What want is to get as many different
specimens from as many different parts OF
the country as / can. Please address,
