The Bear Lake Independent notes
large meeting of Mormonss held
last week at Franklin, Oneida county.
1t was presided over by Bishop
Bulge, and among the proceedings
the following resolution was passed:
Resolved, That it be considered
the sense of this meeting that there
is nothing in the Idaho test oath to
prohibit any male person from voting
or holding office, provided ne is cit
izen of the United States, of the prop
er age, and is qualified as to resi-
dence, and who is not bigamist oil
polygamist, or who does not preach
or advise the practice OF polygamy OIL
plural marriage, or any other crime.
How about "belonging to an or
ganization that teaches polygamy!'
The Saints think it best to commi
perjury and vote than not to vote a
all.

ArbOr Day

Will be observed by the school Of
this place on Monday next. AS the
school house will probably be rebuilt
on another site in few years, it has
been thought to be unwise to sur
round the present building with trees.
1t is proposed this year to plant ma
tive trees on both sides of the long
walk across Elk creek, which in few
years will make it lovely prone
made. 1t is a good move, and we
hope all who can find an hour of leis-
ure on that day will lend helping
hand to the young people and chill,
dren. The planting is to begin after
dinner; the preliminary work to be-
gin in the forenoon.
Why not take time by the forelocl
and make arrangements to plant
grove for celebrations, picnics, &c.
at some suitable place near town
Who will move in this matter 70
next Arbor Day?

caldwell. TRIBUNE: Caldwell is
almost paralyzed with Joy. The Ida
no City World has unearthed a man
maker who throws Clark, of Boise, so
far in the shade that there IS no com
parlson at all. The WORLD publishes
map that is truly perfection. We
struck colors to Boise City's man
but we can only gaze with admiring
awe up at the dizzy height attained
by the Idaho City artist. Acting on
the WORLDS suggestion that Cald-
we'll might engage his services, the
Board of Trade Immediately offered
him $4,000 to get up a map of Cald-
well and her railroad connections.
The offer has been accepted, and
Boise City's supremacy over Cald-
we'll as a railroad center is nearly
ended. We will soon be connected
with every point of any Importance
in North America and Africa. Then
will our revenge be complete.
w. b. Sherwood, of Jordan Valley,
while hunting on South Mountain,
last Monday morning, met with a
very serious if not fatal accident. In

charged, one charge just grazing his
left side, while the other took effect
in his left arm near the shoulder
DR.. Barnes, of Jordan Valley, dressed
the wound and made the unfortunate
man as comfortable as possible, while
messengers were dispatched to Cald.

WE have been scanning the col
umns of the Pocatello Reporter the
past few weeks, with an earnest ex-
pectation and sincere desire of find
ing some rare specimens of rhythmic
glitter from the sharp pointed pen
Gil of George Wheeler, the chief of
the Reporter, who fills its columns
with medley of sparkling wit, sober
wisdom, sound Republican doctrine
and argumentive discourses, etc.
and about this time of year, to hight
en- the general effect of the whole,
he has heretofore broken out in po-
etc strain calculated to make the
gods weep for joy, and more OF 1t;
but this year we are doomed to dis
appointment. The usual installment
of smooth flowing, soul-lifting verse
has failed to show up, and we fear
that George delights no more IN
gathering up the shells from the sea-
shore of poesy. He has been ldahos
sole and only budding poe-ate, but 1t
now seems as if he intends to stop
short lust as the bud is about to
burst INTO a brilliant, fragrant bios
som. and doom to direful disappoint

have devoured the products OF hl'

A CORRESPONDENT asks us to tell
him what we know about nickel-the
present value Of the metal, descrlp
ton OF the ore and something about
the process of extracting, and where
found. He sends a sample of ore.
found on Squaw creek, that he be-
lieves contains nickel. Experts who
have examined the specimen pro-
nounce it barren of nickel or any val
liable metal-in fact containing
scarcely trace of metal of any kind.
What we know, subtracted from
what we don't know, about nickel,
would leave great amount of valu-
able information about this metal, in
cluding its present price, methods
employed in separating it from the
ore, etc. Following is all the lnfor-
nation we can give in regard to nick
Ell: 1t is grayish- white, glistening
metal, capable of receiving high
polish, about the same hardness as
iron, and, like that metal, malIeable
and ductile. It has about the same
fusibility as wrought iron, but is less
readily oxidiZed than that metal, since
it remains unchanged for long time
in moist atmosphere, and is very
little attacked by dilute acids. Nick
ell only occurs in the native state in
meteoric stones, in which it is always
present in association with the iror
which forms the principal part ct
those masses. 1t is found in the Z
S. and in Saxony, Westphalia, Hun
gary, Sweden, etc, where it occurs il
the form of kupfernickel, which is ;
combination of nickel and arsenic
The metal is obtained on the larg,
scale either from this compound o
speiss, which is an impure arsenic
sulphide of nickel. The principa
use of nickel is in the composition o
various alloys, such as German silver

Till the more recent times of Nihilism.
the Emperors have been accustomed to
walk unattended in the grounds Of
Tzarskoe Selo. one of the imperial
palaces. Something of the size of those
magnificent grounds may be inferred
from the fact that six hundred garden
ers ara employed there. An English
lady was walking with some friends in
these gardens, when two dogs, run
ming by the side of . gentleman at =
little distance, came toward her. and
gave her fright. Their master called
them away and then came up. bowed
and apologized. and was going to walk
on. when she. being = stranger. and
anxious to know the names Of the vari-
Gus buildings in sight, detained him to
ask few questions
He told her the names and history Of
the various monuments. and was again
about to withdraw. when she said:

peror. Where am likely to do sop
"Oh, you are certain to sec him soon
enough. madam" he said. with smile
He often walks here. and. bowling,
