OLIVER LAsDR1rH, who returned
last Thursday from Upper Squaw
creek, tells US that Craig Baird met
with quite a serious accident week
ago last Saturday. He was thrown
from a bucking bronco, and as ne
struck the ground the cayuse's knee
came in contact with his chest, and
nearly the whole weight of the horse
thrown on him, but he sustained no
serious injury in this respect. The
horse then stepped on his face, the
heel corks of the shoe cutting him
lust below the eyes, and the toe o1
the shoe knocking out five OF his front
teeth-two above and three below
Craig's face was pretty badly cut anc
bruised.

Mr.. KINGSLEY says the people of
the capital are in sympathy with this
county and rejoice in our success, etc.
We would much rather see the peo-
pie of that town show their sympathy
by acts than by empty words. II
would seem more genuine. Their
Board of Trade is made up of the
business men of Boise, and their &C
ton in regard to the bedrock fume
bill shows that they are not in SYM
pathy with the people of this county,
their smooth words to the contrary
Notwithstanding. Actions talk louder
than words, and their action has beer
in opposition to the interests of thi:
county-opposition to an enterprise
that would bring immediate and last
ing prosperity. Expressions of gooc
will, etc. cannot wipe out their record
of enmity toward Boise county.

~ "e might truthfully say, of
nearly the whole Pacific coast know.
0ea'1y Fawcett, but great many do
not know him by his real name.
Everybody halls him as aSi1ty," but
only a lew know how he came IN
nave this numerical name fastened to
him' sixty" gave us an account of
tne circumstance that gave him this
aiias' Ills father, merchant of Ohio
and steady old Quaker, was strong
Wh'g' and an ardent supporter Of
Henry Clay, when that great Ken.
lucky statesman was candidate for
President, and of course Beatty. who
was then a small kid, nine years of
age was Henry Clay boy. There
was only one voter in Fawcett's pre-
cinct favorable to the election of JAS
X. Polk, and he was greatly annoyed
by the taunts of the great number Of
Clay men. Finally he said that he
could bring a man who would turn
every voter in the precinct for Polk
if all would agree to come out and
hear what he had to say. All agreed.
The Polk man brought his stump
speaker--the leading orator of the
State-whose name we have forgot
ten. This orator turned loose Wig
orous food of laundering language
calculated to submerge and drown
the grand character of Clay, personal
and political, that the ideal imagina-
tions of the people of that precinct
had conceived. He proceeded by
first stating that the great Henry was
a bankrupt, and that If elected to the
Presidency he would bankrupt the
Government. This was more than
little Beatty could stand, and he
arose, and in a loud tone of voice
pronounced the statement "a dog
goned lie!" The roaring food of
language ceased, and the orator eyed
the youngster keenly, and after a
pause of few seconds asked some
one, standing near, who that brat
was? He was informed that the kid
was old man Fawsett's son. The
orators optics then surveyed the
physiogs OF eight other kids seated
near Beatty, and saw that all resem-
bled him. They were his brothers,
but there were quite number of
other brothers not present. Old man
Fawcett's family numbered seventeen
thirteen boys and four girls. The
orator said: 81 should Judge, from
their resemblances, that all these are
Mr.. Fawcett's boys" lie was in
formed that they were. "How many
more of them are there?" he inquir-
ed. "Eightv or ninety" was the re-
ply? "How does the old man find
names for all of them?" inquired
the orator. He was told that Mr..
Fawcett, not finding names enough to
go around, numbered them. "What
number is that young rooster?" the
Jas. K. Polk orator asked, pointing at
Beatty. "His number is co." was the
quick reply. One of Beatty's broth
er's then turned around, and in glee-
full tones, addressed him laconlcally,
as follows: "Hello, co." His broth
ers all took it up, and his name was
Beatty no more from that day on
The whole neigeborhood soon ''caught
on" and the name was firmly fastened
to him, and has stuck to him like a
leech all through life.

Mr.. EDITOR: | made flying trip
to Boise City last week, and was
pleased to note the signs of improve
ment. The new iron fronts of Jas. A.
Pinney, N. Falk s Bro. and Epstein
& Logan make fine appearance.
We understand that new iron front
and second story are to go up on the
drug store corner of Ridenbaugh, the
second story to extend over Epstein
& Logan. A fine Odd Fellows Tenn
pie is to go up soon in rear of the
Overland. Several other brick build
ings are to go up within the fire linn
its this summer. The people and
press of the capital city are in hearty
sympathy with our county and re-
joice in our success and prosperity as
in their own, and why not, as no two
counties in the Territory are so close
ly united in interest as Ada and
Boise. l regret that the Boise City
Board of Trade and the Board OF
Trade of Boise County cannot COM
pose their misunderstanding and
work together. l trust both Boards
will soon see eye to eye, and that
then both communities will enter up
on career of unparalleled prosperi-
ty. l am persuaded that there is a
disposition on the part of the MAORI
ty of the Board of Trade to retract
any action that may in any manner
embarrass any of our enterprises. The
IDAHO WORLD on Boards of Trade
bedrock fume, roads, &C., &C., is read
with eagerness in Ada county, and
hope with profit to both counties.

Reporters Notes ON Board or Tr,d.

Noses ON board OF Trade
Your reporter visited on 10th inst
the Stock Exchange Building for the
purpose of taking in the Board Of
Trade. We found many of the com.
mittees bard at work on important
matters. A number of new com.
mittees have been formed and hardly
any matter can now come before the
Board which can not at once be- re-.
ferred to q proper committee. The
Committee on Dangers Ahead were
at work on the Tillamook Light
House matters and the Snake River
rapids above Lewiston. The Com.
mittee on Foreign Relations were
busy with German affairs, which at
present are in a crisis. The Com
mlttee on Legislation were at work
on tariff bills referred to them from
Washington. (See dispatch in this
paper.)
The Committee on Military Affairs
were busy upon recent dispatches
from the War Department. (See dis
patch.)
The Committee on Lands were en-
gagged on the University Land ques-
ton.
Tha Committee on Maps and City
Plats were engrossed with matters
pertaining to the map of Hogem, and
the plat of Last Chance. The plat of
Last Chance will soon be published,
so the committee informed US, show
ing the most splendid network of rail-
roads and telegraphs on the American
continent. We were shown the work
as far as completed, and were pleased
to find that the St. Paul, Alaska and
ot. Tetersourg railroad IS to unite Its
Eastern and Western divisions at
Last Chance with round houses and
machine shops at Mud Springs, where
splendid tract of land has been Sc.
cured by the railroad authorities
We see no reason why all the popu-
lation of Last Chance and Mud
Springs can not now chew gum and
be happy.
Chairs in the Board of Trade,
which at first were only 800 per an
mum are now worth $500, for an un-
expired year, and new applications
are constantly made.
The Committee on ''hodds and hends'
will soon report.

Mr.. RandalIsan has also for couple

are anxious to submit these bills to
your Beard, and especially call your
attention to the schedules on lead and
on sugar of lead, and communists
to us your views at once, together
with all suggestions you may deem
important. We think your Board is
in a fair way to be decisive factor
in the Legislation of the U. S., and
may be potent in the worlds legisla-
ton. We are not much in the habit
of listening to Boards Of Trade in ru-
raj districts, but we are glad always
to get into communication with such
as yours.
Give US your views on the enclosed
bill at an early day.

An old buffalo hunter who was en-

Of his experiences 70 the forcst and
S.Fcam: On rushed the herd, now thor.
ougkly frightened, and as we hurried on
after them we fairly shouted in triumph
as we saw that right in front Of them ran
rayine which, We could see at point
beyond, was at least forty feet deep.
The rayInes in this light subsoil. torn out
by the deluging rains that occasionally
fall on the plains, were commonly broken
off at the edges just as steep as soil could
hang. and as the buffalo were sweeping
on like tornado, with little time to
look before they leaped, felt sure that
our hunt was ended, the meat supply as
iured, and only regretted the unnecessary
slaughter sure TO follow rs the iated herd
plunged down the steep. ! would not

Slaughtered herd up the nearly pcrpen.
dicular walls Of the ravine. Whsn within
80 yards Of the brink, ~ our amazement
a buffalo appeared clambering up the
face Of the other wall Of the rayine, at a
point that we aftcrward found taxed the
climbing powers Of footman. Another
and another came bobbing up. and We
drew up the horses, utterly dumfounded,
tosee that every one, even TO the calves,
had made the plunge Id safety.
This, 10 me, was one Of the most note.
worthy things that ever came under my
observation. Many times afterward we
saw buffalo tracks ON the slight projec.
tions Of the walls Of these deep gullics.
In places where We could only stop and

When / was young man. said the
politician, 81 travelled in the Southwest
considerably, selling saddles, etc. On
one Of my trips stopped over night In
settlers cabin in Southeast Missouri.
The settler and his family were mighty
cordial, gave me the best they had and
made me welcome to a bunk on the floor
with them. The Oldest daughter was
sixteen or seventeen years old and a per-
feet beauty for her situation. She was
the kind of girl a. novelist would break
his neck to get Hold Of for a heroine.
She'd be very picturesque and pleasing
in a book, but shudder when think
Of her in real life. She took quite shine
to me and before we laid down she had
told me nearly everything She ever heard.
A heavy rain fell during the night, and
as the roads had been heavy before, they
were not passable the next morning. SO
had to stay at the cabin. The girl was
very attentive the three days was there,
and on the evening Of the last day she
said: Say, is you uns marriedF told
her no. and wanted TO know why she
asked. Well, If you uns amt she said,
we uns might get spliced.'
The speaker paused to allow his hear
ers time TO break all their buttons and
then proceeded:
..Her father approved heartily Of the
plan. I've been wishing you uns would
hitch ever since / seen you uns. be said,
and the whole family was so congratu-

WORDS OF wIsDOM.
Beware Of the man Of two faces.

Beware of the man Of two faces.
Take cheerful view Of everything.
Never rejoice but when thou hast done
well.
Never be in d hurry, but always be in
haste.
Simplicity and luxury are equally en-,
joyable.
Never be eontented with a bubble that
will burst.
Laziness travels so slow that Poverty
soon oyertakes him.
Books are the ever burning lamps of
accumulated wisdom.
TEere is nothing 80 sad as happiness in
the sight Of the unhappy.
The shortest way to do many things is
to do only one thing at once,
OF all thieves, fools are the worst; they
rob you of time and patience.
Conscience is at most times very
faithful and prudent admonitor.
Affect not little shift and subterfuges
to avoid the force Of an argument.
Industry has annexed thereto the
fairest fruits and the richest rewards.
Politeness is an easy virtue, costs
little, and has great purchasing power.
Falsehood is often rocked By Truth;
but she soon outgrows her cradle and dis
cards her nurse.
II is with antiquity as with ancestry;
nations are proud Of the one, and indi-
yiduals of the other.
Silence never shows itself to so great
an advantage as when it is the reply to
calumny and defamation.
Speaking too much is the sign Of van
ity; for he that is lavish in words is apt
to be niggard in deeds.
All our actions take their hues from
the complexion of the heart, as land
scapes their variety from light.
Let it be borne in mind that the cords
of love, which bind hearts so closely to-
gether that neither life nor death nor
time nor eternity can sever them, are
woven of threads no bigger than
spiders web.
Man is q reed, and the weakest reed
in mature; but then he is thinking
reed. Should the universe crush him,
man would still be more noble than that
by which he fell, because he would
know his fate, while the universe would
be insensible of its victory.

while ours persistently laid off during

had q pailful of skinned (perhaps clab.

that our management Of fowls was al.
most exactly alike, with the single milk
differences difference that had nut
