TERRITORIAL ITEMS.
idaho World, ISL

y
meets on the third Monday in
September.
The fatal horse epidemic has
reached Banner, and the Elmira
company last week lost two
horses and Macon Smith three.
A. B. Morrell informs us that
$40 ore was recently struck, at
the depth of twenty feet, in the
Eastern Queen ledge, in Lewis
gulch.
j. B. Mclaughlin, of Lower
Payette, and Mrs. John Howe, of
Shafer creek, charged with the
crime of abortion, had hearing
in the Probate court of tins coun-
ty last week, and were placed an
der bonds of $1,000 each for the +
appearance when the grand iu,'N
meets. They gave the required
bonds a few minutes after court
adjourned. The complaint was
made out by Kimberland, whose
wife is sister of John Howe's
and Howe was also charged with
the crime, but when the sheriff
went down to make the arrests,
Howe was gone. He got on the
cars at Caldwell. 1t is charged
that the crime was committed
two years ago, and that girl
who has been living with Mr.,
and Mrs. Howe for many years,
was the victim. The defendants
are only charged with being ac-
cessories; the real abortionist be-
ing a doctor CT Ada county, or
was n resident OF Ada county at
the time, but whether he is res
ident of that county now, we
don't know. Mrs. Howe and Mr..
Mclaughlin are old residents OF
this county, and previous to this
affair not q word could be said
against their characters. If they
were implicated, and we hope il
will be proven that they were
not, it was not in the nature OF
one crime to cover mp another, as
far rs they themselves were con
cerned, but through sympathy
and as to the criminaity OF tn,
exercise of such sympathy Their,
are differences OF opionion; but
the law makes it criminal.
IIdaho Democrat, sci
District Attorney Lamb in
forms us that Morton, arraignee
for the killing of Crawford, neal
Emmettsville, was held to avail
the action of the grand jury il
the sum OF $500. Morton fur
nished the required bail and wa,
set at liberty.

Affairs of Rindskopf Bros. g. Co.

New YORK. Oct Sin September. 1884, Simon

Evaporating Fruit.



On all small farms it often happens that there
is a surplus of fruit Markets are low, and the
question is, what shall we do with lt2' With
the man that mades speciality of fruit-growng
the question is a more important one, as there is
more risk of loss. To attempt to dry all would
be serious task, and with its attendant risks
and the prices generally received, it is such that
the grower is generally loath to take the trouble
to work them up. Wherever introduced, evapor-
ated fruits are preferred to dried. They retain
so much more of the freshness of green fruit,
that when fairly tried they are purchased in
preference to the dried fruits, even at higher
price. At the present time evaporators are com.
paratlvely cheap, are easily worked, and are
of various sizes, so that the farmer or fruit
grower can procure the size most suitable for
the quantity of fruit he raises. BY doing the
work himself or at home, he can use consider
able amount of fruit that would otherwise go to
waste. Where large evaporators running,
it is necessary to hire considerable help. They
must run some risk, and require a profit suffi-
cent to repay them for capital invested. re
do this they must secure their fruit at lower
price than the fruit grower thinks is right So,
then. if the fruit-grower has evaporation of
his own, and can thus work up all the surplus
fruit the farm and dispose of it at fair
price, he will find the work profitable. Even
the family of one of the smaller sized
evaporators will be found profitable, as the fruit
is much nicer and better than when dried. while
the work can be done much more econom-
lcally and in a shorter time If the
work is well done. that is, if is taken to pre-
pare the fruit in good shape, bleach nicely and
then evaporate it, you have the very best Of
fruit on the table all the year round. When this
is done it hardly be distinguished from
the fresh fruit when made into a pie or
stewed into sauce, while the more liberal use
of them would. in measure, reduce the guam
ty of surplus fruit that is often forced upon the
market, and better prices could be realized.
There is quite number of makes of eyaporators
and fruit rasers will find it profitable to invest-
gate the merits of all that convenience will al
low of, and procure best suited to their
needs. should perhaps add that not only are
fruits of various kinds evaporated but also
pumpkins, sweet potatoes and tomatoes are pre-
served in much better shape than they can be
kept in any other manner

A REVOLT OF CONVICTS.
Texas Criminals Make Break for Liberty,
and Twenty-Fiyear Killed by the Guards.

RUsK, Tex, Oct. 5.-Yesterday. at the ter
minus Of the Kansas & Gulf Shore line, near
Lufkin, Tex, sixty convicts, working on the
road, made desperate break for liberty just as
they had finished their supper. With deafening
yells they started up in body and rushed for
the neighboring woods The guards opened fire
on them with deadly effect. The latest report
says that twenty-five of them were killed or
wounded The prisoners were in one large
body, and the guards simply emptied their
repeating-riies and small arms into
the moving mass. Rumors of an intended mu-
tiny in this camp have been rife for some weeks
past These rumors were strengthened by the
fact that many of the convicts were serving life
sentences and were known to be desperate char
acters, and extra precautions were being taken.
Every means possible is being used to recaprure
the thirty-five who succeeded in eluding the
rifles of the guards All avenues of escape are
being guarded, and possess are being organized
to scour the country. The scene of the outbreak
is some miles from a telegraph Office.

Fire Losses for september.

NEW YORK, Oct. 6.-The New York Daily
Commercial Bulletin, of Oct. 6, estimates the
fire loss of the United States and Canada, for
September. at Sc, 525, O00 which is less, by
100000 less than the average fire list
of September for the past ten years
The Bulletin gives q list from its own
files of los fires, where the loss reported was
$40, 900 and upwards, but there were only seven
fires of 500. 600 or more during the month, and
only one which exceeded 5000 000 The fewness
of large fires is considered the cause of SO favor
able and hopeful gain The dIminution of the
fire loss In both August and September is pro-
nounced an encouraging symptom.
