Conner in the vocal -Casta Diva.
Rev. MIR. Richardson, in his adj.
dress on tho subject, Achilles Heel,''
received close attention, although he
advocated female suffrage.
As usual there were number of
people, men aud women, in the audi.
ence who should have been left at
home, people, whose own harsh
voices and merchandising small
talk fall with more pleasing cadence
upon their peculiarly strung tym-
PAM than would the sweetest, softest
strains from tho harp or lips of an
archangel.
The irresistible tendency of the
marshalls, Messrs. Chapman, Burns
and Eichelberger,t to gravitate towards
the rostrum, left that part of the
house where they could do tue most
good at the mercy of those who
found more enjoyment in the display
of their own personality than in
hearing and allowing others to hear
the exercises.
There was not hesitation or flaw
upon the stage during the entire
program, and the young ladies were
the incarnation of grace itself.
Every member of the corps of
teachers has 80 thoroughly done her
work of the past session, that her
summers rest should be one of un.
alleged enjoyment.

The first railroad in America, built
in 1926, and known as the Quincy
railroad, was only two miles long. 1t
was designed for carrying granite
from the quarries at Quincy, Mass,
to tide water. The cars were drawn
by horses. The second railway was
the Mauch Chunk, which with its turn
outs and branches, in all, thirteen
miles long, was constructed for the
transportation of coal from the mines
of that place to the Lehigh river in
Pennsylvania, 1S20. "The Baltl-
more & Ohio was the first passenger
railway in America, fifteen miles be-
ing opened in 1880, the cars being
drawn by horses until the next year,
when locomotive was put on the
track" Within the same year QS3O)
small locomotive, weighing not more
than a ton was built in Baltimore by
Peter cooper, afterwards of New York
at was the first locomotive ever built
in America. So great was the enter
prise throughout the United States
from 1882 to 1887 in the projection
and construction of railroads that a
the end of that period the contem
plated lines exceeded in number anc
aggregate length those of any othel
country.-IRailw News.

BOISE CITY REPUBLICAN: Since
Pride has openly declared himself for
Jim Hawley he cannot very we'll play
the leader any longer at republican
primaries. Pride's alliance with and
support of Mr.. Hawley is bad for
Hawley.
Any republican who would reoog-
nize Pride or the man who wears his
collar after the open declaration of
his intentions to support Mr.. Hawley
against Mr.. Dubois, are men after his
own heart. We don't know that Mr..
Dubois aspires to be candidate for
denomination or election, but should
he be renominated the opposition of
Krebs and Pride would give Dubois
considerable strength.
While Fred Dubois is working like
a hero to prevent the Territory from
being segregated, Pride and the hand
full of men he controls are doing their
best under disguise to aid in its de-
structior. We understand that krebs
and Pride claim all the delegates from
the outside precincts and that they
will do their bidding in the conven
ton.
If the men elected in the outside
are men of honor and integrity o
character, if they possess intelligence
and believe in the principles of tn
republican party they will not wea
the yoke of pot house politicians llk
Krebs and Pride.

winch time he gradually grew worse.
lie said, from the start, that he did
not expect to recover. Like Jas
Munroe, his lungs we're not strong
enough to withstand the disease.
DIR. Zlpf did everything for him that
could be done. He was born in In
dependence, Jackson county, Mis-
souri,. He has three sisters and two
brothers residing in Independence, a
brother, the Oldest of the family, in
Texas, and a brother Jas, of this
place, who arrived here last fall from
California. His parents are both
dead. He left home in 1877, and
went to Oregon. Came to Boise CITY
IN 1882, with band of cattle. He
resided in Garden valley three years,
and was engaged in cutting logs and
farming. Has been a resident Of
this place three years, and during this
time has followed mining. George
Brooks, like Jas. Munroe, was of a
genial nature, and to all social gath
erlngs he was always invited, and
never failed to contribute to the en-
loyment of any social occasion in
which he took part. He was of sober
habits, industrious and honorable,
and had many warm friends through
out the county.
The death of Jas. Munroe and
George Brooks has cast gloom over
our town, and caused a feeling OF
sadness in the heart of everyone
Both men we're warm and intimate
friends of the editor of the WORLD

ALoNzo LELAND, editor of the Lew
iston Teller, has been the most ar
dent and unrelenting of all the ad-
vocates of the annexation of North
Idaho to Washington, and can right
ly claim the distinction of being the
father of the desire that for many
years impelled the people of the
north, particularly of Nez Perce
county, to take advantage of every
opportunity to accomplish the sever
ance of the four northern counties of
Idaho, and their political union with
Washington. This is what the Tell
er had to say, after being convinced
that the annexation question was
sleeping the sleep that knows no
waking:
"Cut out" as we are from the main
political herd, we must be satisfied to
Craze upon the sage brush plains al
lotted to our use. There is dim
prospect for the admission of Idaho
as a State of the Union. 1t is graft
flying to know that we are preserved
intact" This, no doubt, is the same
as being picked in alcohol, and we
are liable to be "bottled up for some
time to come. Our political isolation,
however, cannot rob our soil of its
marvellous productiveness nor our eli
mate of its delightful summers and
tropical winters. We are in the ag'
ricultural garden of the Northwest
and our commercial greatness is sure
to follow in the progressive order o
things. Our citizens are becoming
alive to the interests involved in tn,

To the House OF Representatives Of

To the House or Representatives OF
the Congress Of the United states.
We, the Board of County Commits
sioners of Boise county, Idaho, would
respectfully represent to your honor
able body,
1st. That the population Of our
county is unanimously opposed to the
segregation of any portion of the Ter
ritory of Idaho.
I'd. That we deem it unfair to the
remaining portion of the Territory to
submit to a vote of certain counties
whether or not they will 60 to some
other State or Territory.
Sd. We would respectfully repre-
sent that there are thousands of peo-
pie in the Territory of Idaho who
have been in the Territory since its
organization, more than twenty-five
years ago; that they have endured
the hardships and privations incident
to the settlement of new Territory I;
that they have had pride in develop
ing the resources of the Territory, and
in building up code Of laws, such as
the experience of years has demon
strated to be specially adapted to the
needs of the country; that these laws
have been but recently codiied and
amended at great expense; that dur
ing a quarter of a century these old
settlers have looked with pride upon
our gradual and sure growth and in
crease in population, relying during
all these years upon the good faith OF
the United States Implied if not for
mally pledged) that when her popu.
lation should warrant, the "Gem oi
the Mountains" would be admitted to
the sisterhood of sovereign States.
We think if segregation in any
form and to any extent is to be sub.
mitted to vote, it should be vote
of the whole Territory.
| We are content to be let alone
We have unshaken confidence in the
ultimate outcome of Idaho if she car
be left as she is. The Territory is no
unduly large, and yet of sufficien
size to make respectable State. W.
ask only to be permitted to rise o
fall, to survive or perish, with an in
