How the Democrats Hope to Control
Our Supreme COrrt.

A prominent Democrat of this city
speaks confidently of getting control
of the Territorial Supreme Court of
Idaho, this fall. He says that Mr..
Haley, who is now in Washington,
will first have Judge Buck re.
moved. A fourth Judge will
then be appointed on the plea
of ovcrwork in the districts as at pres.
ent organized. BY having four judges
on the bench, the judge before whom
a case shall have come in the lower
court would not be called OH to re-
view his own judgment. In this way
it is expected that decision adverse
to the constitutionality Of the anti
Mormon law can be secured.

Early AnNsthetics.

A French physician, I.agneau, has
been making researches into the an
aesthetics which were undoubtedly
used in early times. He finds men,
ton by Pliny of a stone which was
treated with vinegar and used to Gre
ate local inse"sibility to pain. De.
coctions Of rnandragora and of plant
called "morion" were mixed with the
food of patients and employed
by surgeons for producing sleep down
to the thirteenth and fourteenth cent
uries. Opium was also used before op-
erations, and in the East the anms.
thetic properties of hemp have been
known from the earliest times. Even
ana'sthesia by inhalation is no new
thing, two different Preparations
both prepared from opium, henbane,
mandragora, hemlock, and many
other plants, and inhaled from a
sponge-having been discovered in
the thirteenth century. Sufferings
from the tortures applied by tho judi
c'al tribunals Of the Middle Ages were
diminished by allowing the unfortu.
nate victim to inhale a liquid contain.
ing all the ingredients required for
chloroform.

THE WYOMING MASSACRE.
4 Traveller States that All Of $50 Chi

4 Traveller States that All Of $50 Chi.
nese were Killed In that Affair.
A young gentleman who recently
arrived from the East states that the
massacre OF Chinese at the coal mines
in Wyoming was much greater than
any report yet published Of the ARRAY
has stated it. This gentleman says
that between 80 and 40 were burned
to a crisp in the flames OF tho local
Chinatown, aud that the stencil of
burning flesh was positively sicken-
ing. As the Infatuated miners drove
the Cinnamon into the ponds OF stag.
nant water, putrid with dust and de.
caying vegetation, women would come
out with shotguns and shoot the
Cinnamon, on one side, while min.
ers with picks, shovels, knives,
revolvers, ETC., would cut down all
who sought safety in fight,
on the other side. Some Of the Chi.
nese women had babes in their arms,
but this did not save them from the
fury Of the mob, which killed or left
for dead all Chinese of all ages,
sexes and conditions whom they saw.
The number of killed, this gentle
man says, will approximate $50, be.
sides at least an equal number Of
wounded.

CATION.
lie has just sent to this Office a sack
OF potatoes and onions which we're
grown on some of the worry dryest
ground on his homestead, and which
did not receive any irrigation what
ever.
The onions are OF the silver skin,
yellow and red globe varieties, are
hard and compact, and will average
over two pounds apiece. Mr.. Brown
writes that he has 10000 pounds of
them--all raised without a drop of
water except what rained upon them.
The potatoes are likewise very fine.
looking aud large. They were planted
late, just plowed in, and have not
been touched since. On dry ground.
No irrigation. The crop is good
average.
Mr.. Brown concludes: Now wish
you would give this thing some little
attention in the TINES. The desert
land grabbers will not like to hear it,
bat it is for your interest and mine to
show the people abroad that irrigation
is not necessary. All who have seen
my crop join with me in my belief
and will make affidavit to the fact that
they have seen profitable crop grown
on my place without irrigation.

friend, r. L. Brown.

sessed of phenomenal cheek, and this
Is undoubtedly specimen. As, how.
ever, thousands of others desire lust
the same information that he does. .
few copies Of pamphlet which we
printed especially for such purpose,
will be sent. We will also endeavor
to answer few OF his inquiries for the
information of others who may not see
our pamphlet.
Wages If bookkeepers, statesmen,
etc., range from $50 to $3.50 per
month. There is some demand for
men OF that class, but the supply ex.
ceeds the demand. "a. .
Engineers, machinists, carpenters,
ETC., get from 81 to IS per day. The
higher priced ones there is no demand
for; lower-priced ones are plentiful.
Wagons are a staple article. Prob
ably 1000, of the popular makes, are
sold annual y in Idaho.
Printers get $50 a week for day
work, and the same price for night
work. Such printers as get their $50
per week regularly for day work re.
ceive higher wages than are paid
elsewhere in the world, in establish.
ments of this size, for that class of
work.
The general health Of the people is
good-distressingly so, as the physic-
ians can hardly make living.
The population of Haley is about
1900 souls; of Bellevue, 1000.
There are three telephone exchang-
es on Wood River.
Idaho is not in need Of any ad-
ditional number OF clerks, mechanics
or other wage-workers; what she needs
is ranchers and stock -raisers, stock
rasers and ranchers, and more ranch
ers. A few additional capitalists with
brains enough to know a good mine
when they see one, would not hurt.
But we can get along without them,
as we have the mines, anyway.
We need producers-slow-plodding
men who will be satisfied with doing
a little batter than making living
until our rapidlyincreasing popula.
ton shall put them in comfortable cir
cumstances by giving them better
prices for their produce. We also
need an additional number of pros
pectors-men who will shoulder their
pick and shovel and march into our
mountain Businesses to show up the
wealth which lays concealed therein;
but We are not in any great distress
for the lack Of workers for days wag-
es. What we need is men who are
willing to dare to work for themselves;
and for all such Idaho is full of prom
