From Delegate Dubois.

WASHINGTON, d. c., April 13, 'S9.
DEAR PAKKER:-There was an appro-
priation of 100000 for surveys of public
lands. You had better write to the
surveyor general at once if you want
any particular surveys.
The Indian depreciation claims bill
failed in the senate, although it passed
the house l hope We will have better
luck next time.
AS soon as matters are settled here a
little 1 will make another move ON the
reservation.
l hope to be home by May l, and will
do the best can to secure the admis-
sion of Idaho as a state. Hope you will
stand heartily in. There is no doubt
but that it would be of the greatest ad-
vantage to the territory. l see some
ill-advised democratic papers are incli-
ned to oppose the measure simply be-
cause it is being urged by a republican
delegate. 1t pleases me that you are
not that sort of a democrat, but that in
your paper and personally you urge the
interest of the entire territory at all
times regardless of political considera-
tions. am always glad to hear from
you, and will be glad to oblige you in
any way 1 can. Your friend,

Our Warrens Letter.
WARRENs, April 80, II

WARRENs, April 30, 1889.
r EDITOR PREss:-There is lot of wilt
talk going around about holding con
| stitutional convention. 1t is to be no.
ped that Idaho county will take no part
in it. The scheme is certainly prema-
ture. The Territory cannot possibly
. have more than 10000 white population
and l have the figures to prove it. If
Idaho were to be stood up in a row
along with her forty odd sisters as a
state, she could not fail to appear ill
conditioned and scrawny, lean and hum
cry; but as territory, with garlands of
wheat and fax, bracelets of gold and
grdle of.silver, in short skirts and
striped stockings, she will certainly be
very presentable indeed, for several
years yet.
The features of mining interest are
the discovery of a ledge called the Silver
Mountain, by Ben White and partners,
near Pony's summit. 1t is said to be
twenty inch vein of considerable value.
Also development of ore in the Lady
Langtry, claim owned by Jim Rear
don and Tony Ledwitch, and almost di-
rectly under the old Hic Jacet mill. |
The seam is small but extraordinarily
rich. Indeed, nothing better has been
seen in Warrens for many years outside
of Riebold's first class ore.
That's right, Mr.. Editor. When any
thing unfortunate happens lay it all to
the innocent cowboy. But beware the
vengeance Of the cowboy. Listen A
friend of mine used to write for coun-
try paper. In describing the Sabbath
day doings Of a festive cowboy he re.
marked that the individual in question
was evidently on the road to Sheol.
The revised edition of the scriptures
had just then been published. The
printer, who never had read the bible,
made it appear that he was on his way
to school, meaning Sabbath school,
where cowboys never have been seen.
The cowboy and correspondent join ed
forces, and when the fragments of the {
uckless compositor were gathered up
and the circumstances explained to the
;oroners jury, they at once rendered a I
verdict of justi6able homicide. NV t
riend was promoted to be editor of a {
,ity daily and the cowboy now owns a |
,rant in New Mexico. Thus is virtue l
,ver its own sure reward. NIB. w. t

w. E. Warden, plaintiff in the dam.
age suit brought against the ex.commis-
sioners of this county, writes US to stop
his subscription to the FREE PRESS. and
continues thus:
MANY thanks to you for vour kfndnsss
to me since l was hurt. You NAV rest
assured l shall not forget it,"
w. E. WARDEN.
Mr. Warden seems to be laboring un-
der delusion which is altogether too
common, to wit, that the mere act of
subscribing for the FREE PRESS carries
with it the right to dictate the editors
opinions on all subjects wherein their
personal interests are involved. In 9TH
or words, this class of subscribers regard
newspaper as stone whereon tbey
may grind their axes. We hasten to
inform this class that they are entirely
mistaken in their estimate of the char.
acter of the FREE Press and its editor.
ana assure them that their patronage ia
not essential to our existence.
Nearly year has elapsed since Mr..
"arden's alleged accident, and we will
give him one hundred dollars if he can
ma any comment on the case beyond
the baldest statements that such an ac-
cident had occurred and that such a
suit had been instituted. 1t is a point
OF honor with the FREE PRESS never TO
express an editorial opinion ON cases
that are before our judicial tribunals for
adjudication. We do not believe in trial
oy newspaper, nor in newspaper efforts
10 preJudge cases, or to inf1ame or ex.
cite the public mind to adopt any par
tlcular view of any particular case.
newspaper comment was the alleged
excuse Tor changing venue in the Tom
Hill trial, whereby our county treasury
was robbed of over a thousand dollars
In the Warden trial and in the arson
case OF three years ago counsel searched
the files of the FREE Press for an ex-
OF opinion that would have
made pretext to apply for new trial
or Tor change of venue on the ground
that the local paper had prejudiced the
public mind pro or con, and that it was
therefore impossible to secure a fair
trial; but they searched in vain. be-
cause it is the settled policy of this pa
per to be absolutely impartial in these
matters. Indeed, we could not afford
TO be otherwise than fair and just. No
doubt it would be very gratifying to
Mr.. Warden to have the influence of
The f. T. enlisted in his behalf. and to
Jake up the cudgels for him and endea.
gor to convince the public that he isa
man and is entitled to
recover exemplary damages in such a
case we apprehend that our old and
rled friends on the other side would be
heard from, to our own detriment. No
newspaper which aspires to standing
md influence in the community can aft
'rd to sacrifice the public interest or to
light the private battles of it's individual
ubscribers. The FREE PRESS is sorry
or MIR. Warden, but its sympathies will
lot be permitted to override its sense

IT a hair from its impartial policy IN

Beauty in Tears.

Men are weak, sometimes-especia

wives. They dread the storm, and
agree to almost anything to avoid it..
Then, too, man dislikes to see a
woman's tears-especially if he be in
any way concerned in calling them
forth. They appeal most strongly to
the softer feelings of his nature; they
are n tacit acknowledgment of his
power, by which he is both fattered

IL Melted Him Five Dollars.

The boys of the fire department are
laughing over break made by one of
their number during recent fire about
West End saloon. The proprietor
was, of course, almost frantic at the
threatened loss of his property, and
rushed about as though he was on al
hot stove. While the engines were,
playing upon the fire, he suddenly re-
membered the slate which contained
the accounts, and yelled for the boys
to stop while he went for the article.
The young man who was manipulating
the hose happened to be customer of
the safeonist. When the man and his
slate appeared in the doorway, the fire.
man took in the situation at glance.
A well-directed stream of water hit
that slate squarely between the eyes,
so to speak, and nothing was left but
the frame in the proprietor's hand to
tell the story of many good dollar
squandered for booze The fireman
who did the act looked around with
grin as he observed; "Boys, I'm about

adventure with UnloroIorm.

Writers of stories of adventure who
have been casting about for novelties
In this line have somehow overlooked
the possibilities which lurk in the do
main of drugs. With proper treatment
rhubarb may be found more effective
than rain-robbers, and ipecac may fur
nish substitute for the cyclone.
Mr.. Tromholt relates an adventure
which he met with at the Norwegian
town of Bossekop, and which may
prove suggestive:
The doctor had, on parting, present.
ed me with bottle of chloroform as a
preventive against ea-sickness, which
| had in the pocket of my coat, but
forgot all about. When leaving the
residence of the magistrate, L jumped
into the trap, and at the same moment
heard something crash beneath me,
and, driving along the road, felt pc
culiar, cooling sensation by my side,
which seemed to proceed from the cush-
ion on which Twas sitting.
In an instant the situation flashed
upon me. was sitting On q quantity
of chloroform large enough to kill an
army.
Not q moment was to be lost, and re-
alizing the danger of taking my coat
off and exposing myself to the whole
forcs of the narcotic, gave the horse
the reins and began to belabor him
with the whip, in order, if possible, to
reach the station before / became in
sensible.
Whack whack whack! Faster and
faster gallops the horse; sickly odor
ascends to my nostrils; kind of mist
seems to gather before my eyes. At
that moment the station coins.; into
view. A strong effort on my part, and
more exertions of the horse. In the
next minute we fly into the yard of
the station as if pursued by a host of
savages.
The people, on. hearing the terrific
rattle of wheels, have come outside,
and to them the writer presents the
spectacle of an apparently semi-intoxi-
Gated man finging himself out of
trap tearing off his great-coat, and
throwing it as far away as his strength
would permit. No wonder they thought
