The following very compliment
airy sendoff," contributed to the
Shoshone Journal by " Growler" at
Salmon Falls, "struck in" on our
editor and we expect to see his
coat tail vanish eastward most any
time. Upon noticing the item in
the Journal his first break was for
the telephone, and ringing up the
depot, he exclaimed: "Give us a
ticket for Omaha" Members of the
Idaho press will remember a short
item which went the rounds year
or two ago and identify the signif-
icance of the sentence. Here is
the cause thereof Devil.
"At the Overland Hotel we met
J. G.. Foster of the Shoshone Jour
nal and Mr.. Lewis of THE KETcHUM
KEYSTONE, both there on United
States Court business. BY the
way, we don't think Mr.. Lewis is
fit for an editor; he is too good
looking to belong to any such a
fraternity, and in the States the
whole of the local columns Of his
paper would be taken up with
thanks TO the fair sex for their
boquets, samples of fancy work and
cooking that takes so much of the
time of the genuine, frst-class
American girl, whose greatest weak
ness is yearning for good look
Ing, young and brilliant editor, and
as al Of these hit Lewis hard, we
will repeat that he is not fit for
an editor"

Early Wednesday morning an
Italian woodchopper came down
from a camp on Warm Springs
Creek, near the old sawmill, with
the startling affirmation that his
brother had been brutality murdered
in row the night before. The man
was very much excited and evil
IDENTIFY suffered from severe fright.
His story was that his brother.
another man and himself had been
quarrcling the day before and that
before quitting work the third per-
son had murdered his brother with
an axe and foully mutilated his
body; that he, himself. sat on
his bunk all night with his axe
across his knees, fearing an attack
upon his own life. Again he told
that while the row was going on he
packed up his blankets and started
to leave the place when the agrees
i've person followed up with a loaded
shotgun, intending to kill him, but
was overtaken by his (the leaving
man's) brother, who, in attempting
to arrest the evil doings Of the man
with the gun, was turned upon and
shot dead. Several other stories
were told by the same person to
Deputy Sheriff Cassidy, who,
judging the man insane, believed
that at any rate some awful crime
had been committed, and started
out through the storm to learn the
facts. He had a very hard trip and
much trouble and danger in scaling
the mountain upon which their
cabin is situated, but finally reached |
he scene of expected horror. The

snowhocs. About the same time a
party left for the same place in a
sleigh, and at three o'clock H.
Stephenson and Deputy Assessor
Moore started for Bullion with a
team and sleigh. Not a word
has been heard from any of
these gentlemen since their depart
urc, and great anxiety is felt by
friends here as to what has become
of them"
We learn later that the missing
persons who went to the rescue
turned up all right and were
en- route to Haley.

DR.. II. C.. Eggleston, secretary,
and Palmer Fullerton, clerk, of the
Philadelphia company, left for
Philadelphia to-day. 1t is but just
to say that the company never sent
two more worthy gentlemen to
their Ketchum office. Under the
superintendent of Mr.. j. II. Har-
DIES and the efficient accounting of
DR.. Egglcston, the business of the
smeitcrs has been conducted during
the past season in a manner before
unknown and with perfect satisfac-
ton to all. AS an eastern man,
unacquainted with western GUS
toms, the Doctor has displayed an
unusual understanding of smelter
patrons and in all his settlements,
so far as we can learn by convers-
ing with those interested, has been
prompt, accurate and agreeable.
Miners and freighters will join with
us in wishing him a pleasant visit
and sure return. The prejudice
felt by some towards the works,
through dealings in times past, has
been dispelled by fair treatment in
all cases during the past summer
and just recognition, by those in
the counting-room of the claims
and interests of all who contribute
to keep the works in operation. In
short, the management of the
Philadelphia smelters is just as
everyone will wish to see it remain
during an indefinite time to come.
Statements published in the KEY
STONE before the close of 'S5 show
ID the prosperity of operations in
Inc past year, and we hope that the
same may be said at the close

It has been said that as America
is free country the Cinnamon
have a right here. 1t is true that
America years ago invited them
but that was not q standing invita-
ton and it has been revoked by
the restriction act.
Before the Chinese go
Pay them what you owe,
Collect what they owe you
And let IN fade from view.
There are about one thousand
Cinnamon on Wood River, and
they send to China yearly at the

uscing laboring classes right to let
this thing continue more than ak

In speaking of various proposed
wagon-roads to Atlanta, the News
says: Ketchum really has the
best of it, for the simple fact that
a good road now extends to a point
within seventeen miles of this place,
coming via Sawtooth, and the COM
pletion of the road would
cost not to exceed $4,000, and from
here to the new mines a road could
be easily built, making railroad
connections closer than to any
other point. But, however, this is
a matter to be left with those who
expect TO catch the "spoils.' There
is one thing certain, the vast
amount of traffic our country will
afford within the next eight months
will assume proportions une1ua!ed
in the history of Idaho"
The News cannot afford to let
others catch the "spoils," and we
hope it will do all i'll its power to
create those "spoils" to catch and
then take few as a just reward.
The scheme of a wagon-road from
ketchum TO Atlanta is a fine one,
and one that should receive the
united attention of both places, for
both are vitality interested. Atlanta,
needs bot er facilities
of transportation with the outer
world, and her very best means Of
securing them is to encourage the
construction Of the proposed road
to this point = the nearest central
railroad point attainable.

DisagreeabIe Weather Checking Trade-The
Rains. However, Very Acceptable.
INDIANAPOLIS. Oct. %.
The rains Of the last thirty six hours have
checked trade somewhat, yet they were so bad
ly needed that there is no complaint. There was
some anxiety before the rains, lest cold weather
would come and leave the ground in unfavora-
BILE condition for winter months. The wheat,
as WELL needed moisture, as it does not now
look very promising for the next years crop.
Prices, in main, to-day, were strong and
changed. The firm tone to sugars continues.
and the "buls" still have the whip hand Of cof-
fees Foreign fruits are steady and in fair de-
| mand. Canned goods begin to move and prices
are firm in tone. The produce markets are NOV
ing along much in the same rut as for several
weeks past. Eggs and poultry are about the
only products that meet with ready sale and at
strong prices The market is again glutted with
butter. The provision market continues fat;
nothing doing except in jobbing way.
The flour market is somewhat improved In its
tone, but prices have shown no marked improve
ment. The Boston Journal says: "There has
been some increase in the demand for export,
and we look for further development of the
trade in this direction, the large supplies of
foreign wheat in European markets are being
powers in eastern Europe are not so bad, and
war does not now seem probable. All these
matters have had their effect on the wheat mar
ket, and flour has sympathized in the ups and
downs. On the WHOLE the prospects for an i'm
mediate improvement in the situation of -four
are about the same as for some time past. We
still believe that with permanent improvement
in the export demand prices here would seek
their proper level Both wheat and -four have
been dull for SO long time that they slow to
assume any improvement in the conditions of
trade. Many in the trade believe, and SO it looks
to us, that the lowest point has been reached,
and that gradual but effective strengthening of
values and an increased demand may be ex-
pected in the future without any marked ad
vance,"

Chicago Tribune
Many farmers will not feed new corn to fatten-
ing cattle, even to hogs, until it has become
thoroughly seasoned in the crib. There is no
foundation for the supposition that new corn is
injurious to stock, unless put at full
feed 1t will not feed pound for pound quite as
far as old corn, and this simply for the reason
easily digested. Some of the best feeders in the
country now start reasonably early in the
autumn. and feed lightly once a day, gradu ally
increasing the quantity until, in the course of a
few weeks, the stock may be fed what they will
eat at three feeds day for hogs and TWO for
cattle.
If the feeding is commenced while yet the corn
is quite green, still more care must be taken.
At this time both hogs and cattle
should have the run of the pasture. By the
first of November often by the middle of Octo-
Der, and in the latitude of central Illinois by the
first of October, both hogs and cattle may be
brought to full feeding. Salt should be present
to be taken at will by CATTLE and for hogs both
salt and charcoal OF the soft bituminous coal of
the Wess should be kept where it may be taken
at ann time. And this is especially necessary
when either cattle or hogs are taken up from
PASTURE and confined.
= In this it is not advocated that corn should be
the exclusive grain in feeding stock during the
earlier period of fattening. The food should be
varied. Oats, light wheat and light barley or
other unstable grain. if not musty, may be
used; or, in lieu of this. bran and other miIlstuf
should form a part Of the food. But when the
muscle (lean meat) of the animal is fully
formed, then corn may form the food. When
cattle and hogs are on grass IL grain is neces
rary to be fed, Indian forms sufficiently
good food.
