PROHIBITION CONTEST NEAR
THE IDAHO LINE,

Luther l.. Burtenshaw, an attorney
from Pennington, appeared before Judge
Laugford this morning, and filed pct.
ton for writ of prohibition against
tabulatng the vote of Pennington on the
recent local option election. A temper.
airy injunction was granted on the con-
diton that the case could come on to be
heard for permanent injunction upon
the giving Of five days notice. In gen.
eral conversation with Mr.. Burtenshaw,
who evidently understands himself and
the law thoroughly upon this question,
he inclined to tho belief that these pre-.
liminary proceeding were only the skir-
mish Of bitter legal contest which, if a
writ of prohibition were denied, would
be pushed on to attack the local option
law upon every conceivable grounds, in
yolving even the validity Of the woman
suffrage act. The temperance people of
Whitman county will no doubt take up
the gauge thrown down by the saloons,
and forever settle the question of the
right of self government by the people.
The town of Pennington is so situated
that the liquor intesest, if defeated in law
can still set at defiance the prohibition
sentiment of the town. Its eastern
boundary is but sixty feet from the
Idaho line, and the saloon men, in an.
ticipation Of an adverse result, have
bought two acres Of ground just across
the line. There is at present in Farm
ington one brewery and one saloon,-

1t is bad enough that Idaho should be
the gretna green in the case of marriage
without making it the reserve battle
ground for local optionists.

''There is vast difference between
the eastern statos and the west in the

for instance, the tow n of Boothbay, Maine

consider itself disgraced with less than
two wide awake dailies In Caldwell, a
town scarcely one-eight us large, the
Tribune flourishes like palm tree, and
We, are proud to say there are not one
dozen men in the entire neighborhood
who do not take their paper, aud more
than one half Of them send from one tc
five copies regularly to their eastern
friends. This is probably not owing tc
the superior merit Of the Tribune. II

A Wiae Reform

The habit of administering quinine In
powerful doses, as an antidote to malarial
maladies, was once dangerously common.
Happily this practice has undergone a wide
reform. Not only the public, butprofessional
men have adopted, not wholly, of course,
but largely, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters as
safe bontanic substitute for the pernicious
alkaloid. The consequences of this change
are mostimportant. Now fever and ague suf-
ferers are cured-formerly their complaints
were only for the time relieved, or half cured
the remedy eventually failing to produce
any appreciable effect, except the doses were
increased. A course of the Bitters, persis-
tently followed, breaks up the worst attacks
and prevents there return. The evidence in
favor of this sterling specific and household
medicine is Of no ambiguous character, but
positive and satisfactory, and the sources
whence 1t proceeds are very numerous.

THos. b. REEus HARD FIGHT.
His Recollection Dependent Upon
the Knights of Labor.
From ne Net0 York Times


PORTLAND, Me-, Sept. Next in I'M
portance to the general result of the cleo
ton IN this State on Monday next is the
light in the Congressional district repre-
sented by Thomas Is. Reed. Two years
ago Judge Cleaves, the Democratic can
didate, claimed that he should have beat
en- Reed If 1T had not been for Blaine's
candidacy for President. Reed had only
30 plurality that year, running FAR be-
hind the State ticket. The question Is
now whether, with Blaine merely
prospective candidate for 1888, Reed
can be beaten by Clifford, his pres
ent Democratic opponent. Ever since
the upheaval of 1874 Reeds district
has been fighting ground, and the
prominent position of the republican
Representative has given the contest ma
t.oual Importance. The district is espe-
clally rich in strong Democrats, ana
many have tried their hand at beating
! Tom Reed, ana some have given him
very close rub. The Republicans are
well organized, and Reed is speaking eV-
cry night, assisted by other prominent
Repu 6licans. Clifford, on the other hand,
ls DGhtlng his battle almost alone. Ihls
being the case, were there no unusual
elements i'll the contest at this time, the
result would be a toregOle conclusion.
But tlere is strong ieeln2 against heed
| among the knights of Labor. neither
thts.wlll turn the scale in favor OF clifford
o0lvTtHe ballot OF next Monday will de-
eide. The Knights cite several of Reeds
votes on quest ons of land forfeiture and
alien land holdings as reasons why he
should be defeated. The knights
were not at first quite saushed
with Clifford, because he Is law
yer, but they have come to see
that it must tie Reed or Clifford, and will
govern themselves accordingly. MIR.
Pnwderly is alleged to be strongly op-
posed TO Reeds election. and it has been
intimated that he would compel Moulton,
the labor nominee, to withdraw. 1t Is
probable, however, that this Will not be
done. But there are at least 5000 knights
in the district, and it is safe TO say that
MoultOn will not receive more than 800
votes, OF the rest e-fourtns will vote
for Clifford, and the decision of the cleo
ton rests VITA the 1900 Knights who have
generally cast the Republican ticket. Ii
they choose to elect Reed they can do It,.
The prohibition vote T. still another fac
tor which cannot entirely be ignored.
But it is hardly probable that the increase
in this direction will be sufficiently
marked to influence the result either way,
although the gain il any must come from
the ranks of Reeds supporters.

POISED IN MID AIR.
Perilous Position of an Aeronaut at
the Omaha Fair Grounds.
From the Ne,0 York World.

From the Neto York World.
OMAHA, NEB., Sept. 7.-Prof. Oscar
Hunt, an aeronaut, was engaged by the
managers of the Omaha Fair to give as
tensions during this week. At noon to-
day when on the eve of going up, and while
sitting on his trapeze, one or the stay ropes
was prematurely cut. The big air ship
swayed around in such way as to break
the other rope and throw the balloon out
OF its course. Efforts of the aeronaut TO
regain control were truitless, and the bal
loon went bounding upward, striking first
one building then another. The people
below stood with bated breath when the
flagstaff on the cupOla struck the Pro-
lessor in the back of the head, rendering
him insensble, so that he fell from the
trapeze. His body shot downward
through the air and 20 feet, below struck
the cOrnice of toe cupola, a protection
less than a foot wide. He struck so that
his body fell upon the ledge, and was held
by a sprig OF iron which pierced his cloth
lug.
Relief was sought at once, but some
minutes elapsed before the unfortunate
man could be released from his perIlous
mid-air position and landed safely upon
the ground. In the course of time he re-
gained consciousness. The balloon arose
high, flOated around for while and then
landed in The city about two miles from
where il broke away.
