IDAHO NEWS.

Rev. J. D. Flenner, who was tried
on two charges of immortality by
the Methodist Conference, in Boise
last week, was found guilty by a
vote of six to five, and deposed
from the ministry. Elder Eads was
also compelled to plead toa charge
of having used his official position
to screen Flenner. The result of
the Conference proceedings is gen.
orally approyed.--Ex.
Hon. Thomas Catalan has been
appointed Assistant United States
Attorney for Idaho vice Fremont
Wood resigned.
Governor Stevensonis now busily
at work on his annual report to the
secretary of the interior. He will
endeavor to make complete statis-
tics on the mineral yield of Idaho
for 1888, and should be cheerfully
assisted by all mining superintend-
ents and others in position to rem
der the desired AID.
A fatal accident occurred near
the head of Dry creek, in Cassia
county, last week, in which young
man named John Hedlman was
mistaken for deer while out hunt
ing, and shot and almost instantly
killed by his companion, Orsen
Bates.
Blackfoot News: The Hon. Jno.
NJ. Burke, of North Idaho, has for
mally opened the campaign in his
county for Mr.. Hawley, and, in a
private letter, expresses himself
sanguinely of Mr.. Hawley's success
in the five northern counties. If
any man understands the situation
in the north it is Mr.. Burke, and
his efficient work will go far toward
swelling the big majority that
awaits Mr.. Hawley in November.

himself before the people is we'll
Known. He is always ready to ex-
press, or give, legal opinion. He
vas member of the committee to
revise the Idaho Statutes and it is
very commonly reported among
lawyers that any revision Beatty
attempted to make was thrown out
Dy the other members of the COM
lnlttee. He was more of an hon.
orary member of the committe than
useful-he was, however, very or
namental. When Beatty returned
from Boise, last winter, he didn't
know that the law allowing women
the right to be elected superintend-
ent OF public instruction had been
left out of the new Code. When he
found out the unfortunate omission,
he published card brimful of SYM
patty for Mrs. Butler, and he, with
her many friends, was sorry that
she could not again, under the new
law, be candidate. On this same
subject, we next hear from Beatty
that women are eligible, no matter
if the law doesn't say so. Here are
two legal opinions on the same
subject and from the same man.
Beatty, parading himself before
the people at this time and upon
this subject, is pointer. He, like
General Roberts, has slight con-
gressional fever; it will be a serious
attack in 1890. The Mormon bug
bear is the great republican hobby.
and James H. wants the people of
Idaho to know that he can howl as
loud on this subject as Methodist
preacher at campmeeting. Beat
TVS legal opinion doesn't have any
force here-we are all, more or less,
familiar with Beatty's ability as a
lawyer. Another point to be con-
sidered is, what Beatty's interpreta-
ton of the registration law is from
a party standpoint. 1t is purely
republican; regardless of justice.
Now, James H., since you gratu-
itously furnish opinions for the
public, write US one on the hog law.

4 DOUBLE BLAZE.
Accidental and Incendiary---N Neither
Fatal but q Very Close Call.

Early last Friday evening racket
was heard in front of I. Schwartz g
stand on Main street. shortly after
followed by the fire alarm. Mr..
John Deering was walking down
the street and observing a blaze in
the front part Of that establishment
kicked the door in and at once pro-
ceeded to kick some burning goods
out. The fire was in the front part
of the store and was confined to
some jumpers and overalls. Mr..
Deering, and others attracted by the
noise, soon landed the burning
goods in the street, and by the aid
of bucket of water or two the
fire totally extinguished before a
dozen men were upon the scene.
The alarm succeeded in calling out
good sized crowd, but the fire en-
CINE and cart were returned to their
quarters without being used. A few
heated words passed between Mr..
Schwartz and the fire marshall rel
alive to the origin of the blaze, but
it is generally believed it was caused
from burning candle left upon one
Of the shelves. Aside from a brief
hailstorm of sardine cans and other
convenient missiles, the words re-
ferred to resulted in no serious
complexities, and each one con-
cerned now peaceably enjoys his
opinion.
No. 1k3, Main street, also caught
fire later on the same night, but
was discovered in time to be saved.
The source of this blaze was a box
of old clothes saturated with kero-
sene and snugly placed up against
the rear end of the building. It
was unquestionably the work of an
incendiary and is not the first at
tempt of this kind to destroy the
building. The house and furniture
is estimated at 81 900 or So 900, and
carry insurance to the amount of
So, 500. Several citizens have since
watchmen at their own
expense to keep a strict lookout by
night and day for any trace or evil
dence that may lead to the arrest Of
the guilty person or persons, and
for any recurrence of such work.
Too much precaution cannot be
exercised by all interested in the
preservation of property and the
general welfare.

MINING NOTES.

Domski's Venus is showing up
finely and yielding the richest ore
ever seen in this region. Some OF
it has sold on a basis of $500 oun-
ces silver to the ton.-Hailey Times.
Enough is enough. The gross
exaggerations that have circulated
relative to the assay value of the
Venus ore have been very painful
to one acquainted with the exact
truth of the matter, and this is the
''last straw" of this nature that we
can carry without murmur. There
has not been single pound of ore
marketed from this mine in the
past year that assayed 800 ounces
per ton. In fact the best shipment
Of high grade ore made by Mr..
Domski assayed just 25S ounces.
FOURTH OF JULY SOLD.
The Challis Messenger learns
from reliable source that Peter
johnson has sold his Fourth of
July mine, Custer mountain, to the
Buckskin Mining Co., of St. Louis,
consideration $30,OOO,-and that
the sale was completed by supt. W.
V. Wolcott during his recent visit.
This mine was under bond to the
Buckskin Co., and by development
has proven good.
A rich strike is reported in the
Paradise mine, Morrison & Pear
sons owners, on Jordan creek, in
Custer county. The Paradise joins
the Washington mine from which
the firm has shipped SO many bars
of fine bullion.

lators. The Ring advocates West
ern Alturas' interest on paper, but
gives them black eye on the street
Without further remark, l quote
the resolution, so as to have it read
along with the Rings street talk,
which appears in the Times:
with respect to the question Of the
division of this county, we submit to
the people that such question is in no
sense party question. As q convention
of republicans from all parts of the coun-
ty, we have no right to pledge the party
to policy which involves no principle
for which we, rs party, are contending.
We, therefore, declare that the question
of the division OF the county, by the cre-
alton of new counties from its territory,
is one which should be dealt with di-
rectly by the people themselves through
their representatives in the legislature"
