SHERMAN, September 10.-The bridge on
the Houston and Texas Central at Choctaw
creek, five miles below this city, was washed
away at an early hour this morning. The
south bound passenger due here at
4:3O a. m. was stopped in Choctaw this
morning on account of high water. The
trainmen went down to investigate matters
and found the bridge unsafe. While they
were discussing the matter the bridge was
swept from its foundations and carried into
the middle of the stream. The train was
then pulled back to Sherman and was
kept until 1905 a. M, when 1t

4 Mississippi Judge Sentences the
Great Slugger.

John L. Sullivan was found
guilty of prize fighting by the
county court sitting at Purvis, Miss.
last Friday and on Saturday re-
ceived the sentence. The grand
jury, eleven members of the petit
jury, State Attorney, Sheriff, and
other officers signed a petition
asking that only fine of a 81 900
be imposed. The proceedings in
were as follows:
General Ford supplanted the / Q
tition by a few remarks. He said
that he had had an opportunity to
learn the public feeling and senti-
ment in the matter, and without
single exception it seemed to be
the desire that the court exercise as
great a degree of clemency as
possible.
There was a pause and then, a
stir in the audience. when the
silence was broken by Sullivan him.
self. The champion turned up be-
fore the bar, and speaking in loud
clear and steady voice, said: "Your
honor, l desire to make a few
remarks. l can only ask for your
clemency in this matter. No doubt
I have done something wrong, but,
as my COUNSEL told you, was
ignorant of the law. / am not as
oratorcal as the distinguished dis
trict attorney on my right, or my
counsel, who have addressed you,
and therefore l beg to remark that
I am your humble servant, John L.
Sullivan"
Sullivan sat down and looked at
the court, awaiting his doom.
Judge Terrell, after a moment or
two, said:
'Stand up, Sullivan"
Sullivan stood up quickly, threw
out his chest, looked the court full
in the face, and had evidently
determined upon self-control. Judge
Terrill spoke slowly:
1T seems to me this prize fight
at Richburg was q gross affroIt
to the laws of the State, whose
authorities personally forbadeit. 1t
seems to have been accompanied
with a systematic arrangement, and
in the presence ofinvited thousands.
1t seems, on the part of all connec-
ted in it, to have been a studied
disregard and contempt for the law.
They came from and through many
States, whose authorities and civil
ization deferred them from any
attempt at such public lawless con-
duet within their limits, and they
chose the State Of Mississippi as the
only fit ground for such a combat,
indicating their utter contempt
for the sentiments of her people
and the laws on her statute books.
The sentence of the law is that, as
punishment for the offense for which
you stand convicted, you shall
suffer Imprisonment for twelve
months in the county Jail" The
case was appealed and bail in the
sum of 81 900 was furnished.

III. y. ID. NTlSnt, OF Di2le, Is
vigorously attacking the Constitu-
ton of the proposed State of Idaho,
through the columns of the Idaho
Democrat. The Constitution is not
perfect. Who expected it would
be (? There are portions of it that
can be subject to scathing
and justifable denuuciation. Sec
tons which confer unheard of and
unwarranted power and privileges
which can be attacked from prin-
ciple and right. Thus far the DR..
has not reached this. He confines
his fight to generalities, TECHNICAL
ties and partisanship. For instance,
in discussing the address published
last week Oh the expense of State
government, he says:
"The committee says Statehood
will save annually sos, $50 to the
taxpayers and then proceed to
give us the figures for it. They say
the total cost of State government
over the present Territorial govern
ment is or will be $53,760, but by
changing the system of county gov
eminent, as proposed by the con-
stitution, the officers of each county
will be paid by fees instead of sal
aries, thus saving to the State an
nually, $109,050. Now | would like
to ask the committee who pays
those fees, the people of Idaho or
the people of Canada? Isn't this
move one of those cunning subter
fuges of the republican party so
often practiced in the last twenty
five years to tax the people indi-
rectly without the dear people
knowing it ?"
Not at ali. This time it happens
to be a Democratic "subterfuge."
The system OF county government
contained in the Constitution is
mainly the work of ex-Congressman
]. w. Reid, of Lewiston, than whom
better Democrat and ADLER states
man does not live in Idaho. And
when the report was considered, so
well did it meet the approval of the
convention and of his party that
not one word was said against the
theory of the system. Officers are
to receive compensation in fees; the
Constitution fixes maximum and
minimum sums for their payment;
all excess Of the maximum goes in
to the public treasury. A public
office will no longer be a private
snap. And when an office-seeker
contributes a sum TO a corruption
fund equal to the salary of the Of
flee to which he aspires, the people
will know that he has no opportu-
nifty to reimburse himself, through
weak Board of Commissioners, at
their expense. A little more Sub
terfuge" of this kind-good, Demo-
cratic "subterfuge" would be ac-
ceptable.

HOT SPRINGS HERD OF SHORT
HORN CATTLE.
Robert .StrahOrn & Co., Preprietors,
HALEY Idaho.

The Hot Springs Herd of Short
Horn Cattle was practically founded
in June, 1888, by the importation
from Kentucky Of 125 head ofregis-
tered animals. The herd was
selected by Robert Strahorn & Co.,
with reference to establishing at
Haley Hot Springs a permanent
breeding and dairy farm from
which Idaho and neighboring States
and Territories could select the very
best type of homegrown, robust,
pure-bred cattle with which to grade
up native herds.
Nc pains or expense were spared
to secure animals which would best
unite the best beef and dairy quail
tiles. Hot Springs Herd contains
choice representatives from such
famous Kentucky herds as those of
Abram Renick, ]. S. Owsley, Cecil &
Jones, B. G. Mullins, J. NJ. Bigstaff
and others. Their breeding for beef
cannot be excelled in Kentucky or
any other country, while their fine
milking qualities are daily attest.
ed by some fifty superb milk cows
composing the Hot Springs Dairy.
Hot Springs Herd is now thor
oughly acclimated. Excepting the
milk cows the herd has made it's
own living on the hills near HALEY
during the past winter. There is
not an overfed, pampered or sickly
animal in it. The increase, num-
bering some sixty head, are largely
of Idaho birth and raising. 1t will
be apparent to any breeder that
such a herd offers far better selec-
ton than any shipment fresh from
the East. Its owners are in Idaho
to stay. They have a reputation to
make and propose making it by
selling only that which will bear
the closest inspection and by rep
resenting individual animals
exactly as they are.
Among families of Short Horns
noted the world over for their
superiority over the palmer bred
types of the breed the Hot Springs
Herd embraces "Renick Rose of
Sharons," ''Duehesses," "Red Rose"
young Mary's," Phyllis" and
"Airdries." The prevailing color is
a beautiful red-in fact out Of
nearly 200 head in the Hot Springs
Herd there are only four animals
possessing other predominating
colors.
The grandsire of Airdrie of Elmot
and duchess 80 of Hot Springs
Herd is the 4th Duke of Geneve,
who sired the $4,000 Duke of
Oneida, and himself sold for $6, 900.
Rosebud 81 and Duke of Mount
Auburn 5 of this herd are also
direct descendants ofthe very finest
Short Horns known, and themselves
sold for $500 as soon as weaned.
There is not vicious animal in
this grand herd. This prevailing
trait in Short Horn Cattle makes
them especially desirable for family
use. It is also fact well known
among breeders that the first cross
of Short Horns upon native stock
almost invariably improves the dis
position as well as the form Of the
progeny.
No better move can be made in
laying the foundation for a dairy
than good selection from the Hot
Springs Herd.
In. order to make know the
merits of this herd, the proprietors
offer a few choice animals of both
sexes for sale very low for cash for
the next sixty days.
