THE NEWS

/ George w. Childs, the Philadel-
phia philanthropist, is being boom
ed for the Presidency.
It is estimated that fully 10000
sheep persisted in the five great
wool producing counties of Texas.
The Senate committee on mines
and mining has amended the alien
land law so as to allow foreigners
to own mining property.
Delegate Dubois, of Idaho, made
an address before the Senate COM
mittee, Tuesday, opposing the an
nexation bill of Senator Voorhees,.
Bills providing a legislative COM
mission of twelve, to be appointed
by the President, for the governing
of Utah, have been introduced in
Congress.
A prize fight between William
Dempsey and Simeon Besser, of
Brooklyn, Saturday, resulted in the
death of Dempsey. Besser was
exonerated.
An attempt was made to rob a
Wabash train near Missouri City,
one day .last week. The
officials had information of the pro-
posed raid and foiled the robbers.
The gang was captured. There
names are ] B. Swiney, John Har-
grave, Noah Drew, and VIM. Harris.
Four masked men, all heavily
armed entered the Citizens Bank
at Limestone, Indian Territory, last
Saturday, and presented a pistol at
at the head of the cashier, and de-
manded the cash. Pretending to
comply, the cashier slammed the
door and turned the lock. He was
instantly killed by a bullet from
the pistol of one of the desperadoes.
Twenty-three hundred dollars were
taken when they fled. The citizens,
rallying, killed one of the robbers as
they were mounting their horses,
pursued and captured the remain
der, and hung the leader.
Last Wednesday fully 100 men
took possession of a freight train on
it's arrival at Cozard, Nebraska,
and helped themselves to the con-
tents of two cars that were loaded
with coal. The train men and sta
ton agents made efforts to protect
the fuel but they soon dropped to
the conclusion that interference on
their part would not be met with
any respect for law. The coal was
quickly carted away to the homes
of suffering women and children.
At Shelton, Friday night, a similar
scene was enacted; also at Gibbon
and Kearney. Two trains were de-
tanned at Shelton long enough for a
great mob of determined men to UNI
couple coal cars and run them away
on side tracks where they were
quickly unloaded.

THE Mountain Home Range and
Valley, one of the brightest news
papers in Idaho, is urging the CAPT
talists of its section to unite and
form a company for the purpose OF
securing water supply for the rich
desert lands which abound in that
locality. In endeavoring to arouse
home capital to carry on this work
Mr.. Payne has undoubtedly
struck the most favorable plan for
an advantageous solution of the
water problem. Favored, indeed.
is the community that has the cap
ital and will to work out its own
salvation. Foreign and outside capt.
tai are to be welcomed, but go for
naught unless directed by a hand
thoroughly and unselfshly devoted
to the interests of the community,
and capable of understanding its
diverse wants. Any company or
parties looking for remunerative
dividends from investments must
work in line in sympathy with the
majority Of the community in which
said investments are made; a fact
which outside management is
either generally slow or willfully
blind to realize. We trust the citi-
zens of Mountain Home will them
selves grapple with their water
problem. They have the required
capital; have they the will I?

man carp: In the spring of 1884
the DR.. says he received from
Nevada five German carp, at a cost,
including transportation, of $55,
which placed in pond connected
with Dixie slough. A few weeks
after they spawned and in due
time l had nice lot of young fry
from the two year-old carp placed
in the pond. They were doing
nicely, but while was absent, some
of the neighbors below me cut the
dam in order to get water for irri-
eating purposes, not knowing that
I had carp in the pond, and let out
the old fish and most of the fry.
The old ones and some of the young
remained in the slough below me,
and caught some of them last
spring by turning the water out and
seining for them. The old ones
were five years old last spring and
measured twenty-six inches in
length, weighing ten or twelve
pounds. The three year olds were
about eighteen inches long and
weighed five or six pounds. The
two year olds were twelve to four
teen inches long and weighed two
and a half pounds. About the first
of last June, right in the midst of
spawning time, another unexpected
accident occurred. Some of the
levees along the river five miles
above me were washed away and
let flood of water into Dixie slough
overlooking my dams, and carrying
thousands of my carp down to Boise
and Snake rivers. After the waters
subsidized l caught in some of the
water holes and irrigating bitches a
little over three thousand of the
young carp and a few of the older
ones and placed them in a pond
secure from high water. I some
times think there could not have
been less than one hundred thous-
and carried away by the freshet
into Boise and Snake rivers. find
the carp a very good table fish, not
so delicately favored as the noun
tain trout but juicy and palatable.
No doubt they could be greatly i'm
proved by few weeks feeding be-
fore taking them.

The rapid increase of drunken.
ness in the past few years has be-
come alarming. Statistics show
that the use of alcoholic drinks is
greatly in excess of anything hith-
erto known, and the increase Of
crime is proportional. This evil
has grown until it has become the
bane ofevery community, in homes
made desolate, in manhood destroy
ed and womanhood degraded. It
has grown until it has come to be
the greatest national evil of the
present generation.
The heart of woman is ever
ready to sympathize with the dis
tressed and quick to devise means
for the alienation of suffering.
What more natural then, than that
she should be the pioneer in this
great reform. And whatever she
undertakes she gives to it her
whole heart and mind, which in
itself insures a measure of success.
This work has long engaged the
thoughts and called forth the pray
ers of the wisest and best women
of the land, and many. have work
ed faithfully in their own vicinity
for the overthrow of the rum power
But individual labor alone is not
sufficient to uproot this great evil.
1t needs combined and systematic
effort.
Out of this great desire in the
hearts of women to save the ma
TONS children and through them
the nation, sprang the Crusades.
Since that time the interest has not
ahated, the movement has gradual
ly grown and taken on shape until
it has reached the proportions of q
national organization, and is con-
Quoted in the same systematic
manner as are all such organiza-
tons. Subordinate to this we have
the state, county and city or local
unions.
Prohibition is the watchword
and it is TO be brought about by ed
ucation. While it tries to benefit
those already on the stage of ac-
ton, its hope lies with the young.
This work of education is being
carried on through many depart
ments, some of which are: juvenile
work, temperance literature, evan
gelistic work, scientific temperance
instruction in public schools, social
purity, hygiene and heredity. The
scientific temperance instruction,
which teaches children the effects
of alcohol upon the system;
hygiene, which teaches them how
to live that they may not so easily
yield to temptation and the branch
of heredity, which shows how the
weakness and the appetites of the
parents are visited upon the child
rem, even unto the third and fourth
generations. these together with
social purity can not be too soon
borne in upon the minds of both
old and young.
These are some of the means
by the W c. Z. u. for
The overthrow Of this hydra-headed
monster, against which SO many
noble women are bringing to bear,
and all should bring to bear the
might Of their influence, not for
getting our motto, for God and
Home and Native Land :

TERRITORIAL.

A Jordan Valley correspondent
to the Silver City Avalanche says
that the lovers of sport and manly
strength of Jordan Valley, witness
ed a long and holly contested
wrestling match for blood on the
18th inst, at Baskerville, between
the Unknown, a gentleman who
lately arrived in Jordan Valley,
and J. H. Peck, better known as
"Peck's bad boy" who is now driv-
ing stage from Camp McDermit to
this place. The match was for $40
side without gate money, admis-
sion being free. J. c. McLafferty
was the bad boys hacker, and J. G..
Brown placed his money on the
Unknown. The tussle for suprem-
acy was quite interesting, but the
bad boy finally triumphed amid
the shouts of his friends who had
wagered considerable money on
him. B. Boyer was stake holder
and judge. The Unknown says
that he will wrestle the 'Bad Boy"
for 800 on the 18th of March,
which challenge Peck has accepted
and a forfeit has been put up and
the match made, as the chad boy"
says that he will only be too happy
to try strength with the Unknown
again. So come all on the 18th of
March, and place your money on
the right man, as a fair tussle is
guaranteed, and as both parties are
models of manly form and strength.
Says the Boise Republican: A
man by the name of Clarence Nc
Sweeney, a shoemaker by trade,
who had been working for VIM.
Nealy, for several years, was found
in an insensible condition last Mon
day morning in the shop where he
had been working. His sleeping
apartment is in the rear of the shop.
He had left the saloons the even
ing before, somewhat under the in
fuence of liquor. When found he
was lying on his mattress on the
floor. 1t is supposed that he had
attempted to make his bed by the
stove and becoming exhausted, or
overcome by the influence of the
liquor, fell down on the mattress
and laid in that position until found
frozen the next morning. DR..
Smith was called and partly sue
ceeded in reviving him, but he died
in about one hour. Little is known
Of his history here, but he was q
good workman, industrious and jo-
val. We do not think Mack, as he
was Familiarity known, had an
enemy except the foe that caused
his untimely death. This should
be a warning to the youth of our
city to "touch not, taste not, ham
die not that which intoxicates."
The Mountain Home Range and
Valley says it is evident that the |
much-talked-of South Boise river
canal project has been abandoned |
because of the immense outlay of
money it would require to construct |
t. It is also evident that the gen.
,ral government will not soon come
o our assistance by the building
# canals for irrigating purposes;
ind it is a fact that the Strahorn
water right locations on Canyon and
creeks have been for
cited. Now, the question arises,
What are the people of Mountain
Home going to do about securing

The Rev. Mr.. Mantore, of Chica-

preacher. The News says: "One

laid it on the child's head, and
then, his mind reverting to his old
calling, he began rubbing the head

astonished mother, said; Sham
