The law, unwritten, found in no SLOT.
ute book, enforced by no court degrees
out having an influence circumscrihei

law OF kindness.
Among peoples where cruelty to human
KIND is almost fixed habit, who are r., D..
lentless foes, and as friends scarcely less
to be dreaded, whose savage natures
revel in tiendish atrocities, there vet
fingers the spark of divinity which lifts
man above the beasts.
Sorrow melts the human heart wher-
ever found, and sympathy mincles its
tears with grief all the world over.
Where pity does not dwell, there lives mo
thing OF human kind. 1t is "the touch
OF nature that makes the whole world

What terrible world this would be to
live in were it not for the sympathy and
loving kindness shown us when sorrow
comes, for it is decreed that in all lives
some days must be dark and dreary."
The 10000 and more voluntary testi-
monials the proprietors OF Warmers safe
cure have received in regard to the
efficacy OF that remedy, reveal "this
touch of nature" in peculiar manner
The great majority of them acknowledge
that it was through some kind friend
who, in pity for their suffering, had
made known to them the wonderful
merits Of this great remedy.

The Heishth Of His Ambition on the
Breaking.Cut Of the War.


Breaking.Cut Cf the War.
Now that General Sheridan has
stated it as his unalterabe determine
ton not to accept the nomination for
the Presidency Of the United States,
the following anecdote, which has
been known in Haley for some time.
can properly be published.
In the later sos, Little Phil. ;"
then mere Lieutenant, was stationed
on the Pacific Coast, and frequently
changed from post to post, to suit the
exgencies of the case or the whims
Of the litary commander. These
posts were usually commanded bv
field officers who, by virtue of their
rank, were exempt from such active
duties as forage trips, Reconnaissance
into the Indian country, details from
one fort to another, and such like.
Hence the subordinate officers had all
the harder, most difficult and danger.
GUS work to do, while the post com.
manders could stay comfortably at
home. and only go on an occasional
hunting or fishing excursion to vary
the monotony of their existence. The
young lieutenants therefore consider
ed their lot hard one, and the
helghth of their ambition was to be-
come post commanders.
On the breaking out Of hostil;,ie S
between the North and South, Lieu
tenant Sheridan was stationed at Fort
Iamhi]l, near Corvallis, Oregon, and
was we'll acquainted with Mr.. Miner,
father Of the present Principal! of the
HALEY public schools. Being order

settlers assembled at the steamhoa,

gooi-by, and there was general hand

To THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES -
We have weathered the blasts Of
the coolest winter ever known on
Camas. Our stock looks we'll, snow
is going off fast, horses could live on
the hills now, and farmers all happy.
The GYMNASTICS are looking with as
tonislment at the spirit shown By
Soldierites. They seem to have a
certain magnetism about them that
guarantees success IN everything they
undertake. The church services and
Sunday School, presided over by the
Rev. J. d. Moore, are held in the
schoolhouse. They have a large at
tendance.
The Soldier Literary is getting quite
extensively known. l.. w. Perkins,
President, G. II. Abbott, Vice Pres-
dent, f. A. Waring, Secretary, Lewis
Lavake, editor of the Red. Hot Soldier
Gim!et. That paper takes the cake.
One week you cry, the next week you
"!aif." 1t don't do any good to get
mad at Lavake. As an editor he hews
to the line, and lets the chips fall
where they may.
The Gimlet draws a crowd, all the
same. People may curse Lavake,
but he has as many friends as any
man on Camas Prairie.
The Society now own 6ne organ.
Miss Jennie Prout and Miss Mamie
Carson are the organists, assisted by
Mr.. James Prout, who is splendid
musician. Miss Jennie Prout is a
young lady of some 10 summers; has
had the misfortune to be blind from
infancy. AS her people are in good
circumstances, this young lady has
had all the advantages that money
could obtain. She was educated at
an institution for the blind in Colo.
RADIO. Miss Prout, besides being Il
good organist, is an expert violinist
and splendid vocalist. OF course,
she plays and sings by note. Miss
Carson is good organist and vocalist
and she picks banjo to perfection.
Master Bert Prout is the harmonicast.
Consequently it is not to be wondered
at, the great success Of the "So!1ier
L;terary.'
Ali the children take part in the
exercises. Two weeks ago Mr.. and
Mrs. Lavalie, who have a large and
commodious house, gave a dancing
party to the Old folks. Thirty-on one
numbers were issued in order that all
might dance in their turn. Big crowd,
and big time was had. On St. Val
entine night they gave basket sup
per party to young unmarried folks
only. Fifty-two numbers were Issued
and 50 sat down to eat, besides their
own family. Dancing commenced at
a quarter before 6 o'clock in the even
ing and quilted at precisely quar-
ter after 6 o'clock in the morning
Dancing steadily for y! hours. This
was the largest gathering Of the kind
ever held on Camas Prairie, and one
long to be remembered by all who at
tended Don QUIXoTE.

CHARLES FRANCIS ADAMS,
lie Expresses Lively Interest In Re
gard to Wood River.

Mrs. Paul p. Baxter, wife of the
urbane host of the Baxter Hotel at
ketchum, is now SO burning at Quincy,
Mass, visiting her many friends and
relatives in that locality. Her circle
Of acquaintances embraces many Of
the leading families of the old Bay
State, and a recent letter from her
contains an interesting account of an
interview she had with Charles Francis
Adams, President of the Union Pa.
cific railway, and an old friend Of
both Mr.. and Mrs. Baxter. President
Adams displayed lively interest in
regard to the Wood River country
ana its great possibilities, and en-
pressed himself as very anxious to SO
shape the policy of his company as
would materially increase the oppor-
tunities Of developing this part Of
Idaho. Mrs. Baxter suggested to him
the propriety of the company pur-
chasing the Guyer Hot Springs prop
erty and making the place resort
for tourists. The proposition seemed
to present itself in favorable light
to the distinguished gentleman, and
il NAV be that Mrs. Baxter's timely
suggestion will be like the stray seed
strewn upon the highway to bring
forth an abundant harvest in due sea
son. Mrs. Baxter will return home
during March.

interesting article which Gn view OF
a recent occurrence in this city) is
published without alteration or com
ment. Here it is:
LEES OPINION OF GRANT
The people have read with gratif
cation Gee eral Grants exalted
opinion of General Lee as com
mander. Grants opinion of Lee is
happily supplemented by Lees opin-
ion of Grant. This is now for the
first time given to the public by DR..
Swift, as coming from IA member OF
Lees staff. In the presence of Gen
eral Lee, an officer spoke sliyhtingly
of General Grant General Lee
looked into the critics eye steadily,
and said: "Sir, your opinion is very
poor compliment to me. We all
thought Richmond, protected as it
was by our splendid fortiications,
and defended by our army of veterans,
could not be taken. Yet Grant
turned his face to our capital and
never turned it away until we had
surrendered. Now | have carefully
searched the military records Of both
ancient and modern history, ard l
have never found Grants superior as
a general. | doubt if his superior
can be found in all history

has the Democratic brand on it.
OF course the last class is the most nu-
merous, though the third embraces very
large number. There are thousands of SIM
cere but mistaken voters who are now in
clined to vote with the Democrats on this
issue, because they do not understand il
clearly. Here 10 work to do which must be
done, and that promptly. The people must
be aroused to the actual danger that men-
aces us when the chief executive OF the
land devotes his entire message to this one
issue, and practically demands Of bis party
friends in Congress that they shall put his
recommendation into the form OF law.
Let no Republican waste one word upon
the Eastern mugwumps. They are free

ing for Cleveland will now increase almost
to the point OF idolatry. They will vote ~

the Republicans.
But the change in the situation gives NJ
the certainty Of carving New jersey and

York also. The State, outside the city, Ii

In the trial of the Manchester, N. H.,
scandal cases at Nashua, it was shown that
wretched state of affairs existed. The
first case called was that against David
Moody, ex-Salvation army preacher, for
adultery with Matte Ward. Moody has q
peculiar record, having been expelled from
both Methodist churches and the Salvation
army for indiscretions with women. Sew
eral girls ranging from ten to kfteen years
of age, testified that Moody induced them
to yield to his desires by presents, etc.
Moody, who is over sixty years Of age,
claims it is conspiracy against him, but
Judge Blodgett sentenced him to three
years hard labor. The cases of others,
duplicating four prominent merchants, will
come up soon.

The Union Pacific company has filed a
bill in the U. s. court at Omaha asking for
writ Of injunction against the board Of
transportation Of the state of Nebraska
The plaintiff charges that the said board
claims the right, power and authority to
fix and establish rates and tariffs for the
transportation Of persons and property
over the Union Pacific road, and is now
in deliberation upon schedule that will
reduce to two cents per mile the passenger
tariff, both inter state and domestic,
through the state of Nebraska, making be-
sides corresponding reduction on freight.
The company claim that this willso dis
their operating expenses.
THE reduction in the working force in
the Missouri Pacific shops at Sedalia, Mo-,
went into effect lately. Fifty three men,
mostly helpers, were laid off. The dis
charged men are feeling very sore. although
it is given out in official circles that it is
only temporary. The reduction embraces
about ten per cent. of the force in the
machine shops, blacksmith shop and round
houses

JUDGE Krekel, in the United States cir
cult court at Kansas City, has rendered a
decision of importance to cattle men. The
case was one in which Charles B. Hudson
had shipped 37s steers from Bennington,
Kan, with orders to have them in Kansas
City stock yards the next day in time for
the market. The Union Pacific railroad
guaranteed to do this, but failed to COM
ply with the contract and the cattle were
sold next day at loss of $796. Hudson
sued and recovered the money. Judge Kre-
kel refused to grant a motion for q new
trial.
MRS. ISAAC PARNELL, of Jackson
vile, Fla, started to church the other
night, leaving her four children, the old
est five years old, locked up in the house.
While going to bed they in some way ig-
nited their clothing and in a moment the
house was one mass Of flames. The eld-
est escaped through a window, fearfully
burned and scorched, but the other three
were burned to death. Their heartrending
cries were heard at the church andth peo-
pie rushed to the burning house, but were
too late. The mother became a raving
maniac and had to be forcibly restrained
from throwing herself into the flames.

by the democratic caucus at Frankfort.
