Death has called another distin-
guished ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Francis
Adams, ST., who died in Boston, the
other day, aged 70 years. He was
the son Of John Quincy Adams, who
was chosen President of the United
States in the famous quadrilateral
contest in 1926, between jackson,
Adams, Crawford and Clay. He was a
candidate for Vice-President in 1913
on the Van Buren, Free Soil ticket.
He was elected to Congress in 1858
and with William H. Seward made
the first campaign for Lincoln. In
1851 he was sent as Minister to
England and very ably represented
the United States there during the
troublous times of the rebellion. He
was also a member of the Geneva
Arbitration Board. In 1872 the
Democrats, dissatisfied with Greelev's
candidacy nominated Charles O'Conor
and Mr.. Adams for President and
ce-President, but O'Conor refused
and Adams would not run without
him. He was man of sterling in
tegrity and great abilities, but rather
too frigid for popularity. He was
the father of Charles Francis Adams,
Jr., President of the Union Pacific
Railway Company, who combines
much of the ability of the very dis
tinguished family with approaehabiEty
and admirable suavity Of manner.
Mr.. Adams, ST., has been in impair.
ed mental condition for number of
years, and the episode Of his being
fieeced by bunco men few wears
ago while in that condition led to his
being placed III care Of all attendant.

TRIBUNE: Michael

CALDWELL TRIBUNE: Michael
Mcbride, familiar character on our
streets, was found dead in the cellar
back of Harrisons furniture store
ednesday morning. Late Tuesday
evening Mr.. Harrison had found him
on the ground near The store in an in
toxicated condition, and at his request
had put him in the cellar for the night.
Upon opening it next morning Nc
Bride was found dead. He had been
drinking heavily for several weeks,
and this, with the cold and exposure,
brought about his death. He has no
relatives in this country, and not a
scrap of writing could be found on
his person or among his effects to
show his previous residence. He
was quiet, inoffensive and good ma
tured old man, we'll liked by every
one, and probably had not an enemy
in the world save himself.

IDAHO REroRTER: One object of
the visit of Homer Stull to Boise CITY
this winter is to get a memorial to
pass both houses of the Legislature
asking Congress to sanction the Po-
catello land grab. at is whispered
that a combination is forming in GER
tain counties to remove the capital
from Boise City to Shoshone or some
other isolated spot to the east of US,
says the Democrat. Captain Boya-
kin should keep better posted. 1t is
the design of the railroad men, after
Mr.. Haley gets the bill through the
Senate that has already passed the
House, sanctioning the Pocatello land
grab to build a big city at that point
which is 20 be the future capital.
Such has been the talk -. We re-
greet to learn that Herman Dickens
uellei, ulOtheI VI 1lODGTl oIlchetlS-
derfer, Superintendent of the Oregon
Short Line and Utah and Northern
railroads, was accidentally shot by one
of his companions on railroad sur
vey. He died from the effects there
of on Friday last. The accident oc-
Cured about eighty miles from the
Ontario line. He was taken East for
burial. The foregoing is all we could
learn of the facts.

HALEY TIMES: Charles F. Lang
and Matt. Graham, two well-known
mining men of Atlanta who have
been stopping with Warren P. Gala
han, at Broadford, for few days,
were to leave to-day for New York
and London, England, to close the
negotiations for some valuable min
Jug property at and near Atlanta.
Mr.. Graham informed Times re-
porter that Major Frank p. Cavanah,
the well-known civil and mining en-
glneer, and Professor McChesney, of
Chicago, who have been in England
since last spring, would undoubtedly
soon conclude a sale of their respect
i've properties. These sales will
transfer to English ownership large
extent OF property along the Gold
Belt IN and about Atlanta, and insure
the future prosperity of that camp.
The figures to be paid by the intend
ing purchasers of this property run
up in the millions.
1t is the Intention of all parties in
tetested to have the transfers made
and work resumed under the new
management early next spring
....ldaho is about the only State or
Territory in the Union that has no
bureau of Immigration, and it is prob
ably owing to this fact that we fail to
get our share of the great stream OF
Immigration which is SO rapidly filling
up the neighboring Territories. Yet
no country west of the Mississippi
offers such an inviting field as Idaho
to the farmer, the stock grower, the
manufacturer, the prospector, the MI
ner, and the capitalist. If this were
properly advertised abroad, as it
W. -
could be done at comparatively slight
expense by an official Board or Bu-
reau, tens of thousands of people OF
all classes and callings would come
to Idaho every year, instead of the
few thousands that now come.
| A c tba T
session, 1t is to be hoped that it will
not longer neglect to create Board
OF Immigration, and thus give US an
even chance for progress with cur
neighbors.. "Kaintuckn Smith is

News MINER: Joseph H. Swift,
brother of J. O. Swift, of the mercan-
tile firm of Swift & Regain, died about
z o'clock Saturday morning. 1t will
be remembered that Mr.. Swift was
wounded on the 10th instant, short
distance below Bellevue, while riding
horseback, by the accidental discharge
of a gun, which he pulled from a
pocket to examine. 1t was at first
supposed that the wounds were not
necessarily fatal. Ever since the &C.
cldent the patient would one day
seem to be improving, and the next
day would find him not SO we'll.
Within the last few days previous to
his death his physician gave up all
hopes of his recovery. He sank rap
idly Friday, and Saturday morning
his life finally ebbed with failing
strength.
Word was telegraphed to Salt
Lake City, where the mother, sister
and a brother of the deceased reside
making inquiries as to whether the
remains should be deposited in Hal
ley cemetery or forwarded to Salt
Lake. An answer came late in the
evening, and they will be put aboard
the eastbound train Monday afternoon
for the latter place.

RulllOrS Denied.

PfTTsBURG, Pa, Dec. 1.-THE rumors of
the absorption of the Baltimore and Ohio
Telegraph company by the Western Union
are authoritatively denied. Mr.. N. c. Girls.
void, assistant superintendent, in speaking
on the subject, said: my attention has been
called to the publication during my absence
of articles indicating that the Baltimore and
Ohio Telegraph company would be in the
near future absorbed by the Western Unioa
Telegraph company. Much significance is
therein given to visit made to my Office
by Messrs. Tinker aud Rowe, of tho West
ern Union company. These gentlemen
called upon me as representative of the
Baltimore and Ohio R. R. Co., in connec-
ton with matters appertaining to contract
which the Western Union claim to have
with the Pittsburg and Connellsville R. r.
The visit had no reference whatever to the
Baltimore aud Ohio Telegraph Co., or its
business in any way. The Baltimore and
Ohio Telegraph Co. have to-day made
still further reduction in rates, which is Of
itself an unanswerable refutation of the
stories Of its absorption"
