The Australian plan of voting ha
been adopted in Louisville, Ken
lucky, and the recent election was
held under it. That it will work
well in in this country was salts
factorily demonstrated at the Louis
vile election. The Courier-Journal
is enthusiastic in its praise. The
fear has been expressed that the
plan was to complicated and cum
berson, and that it would fail when
tried in America. This fear seems
to have been groundless. There
was but one ticket, or voting paper,
and this contained the names of all
the candidates, together with the
party politics of each. The paper
was printed at the public expense,
and there was an agent or custodian
who delivered the ticket to each
voter who presented himself. There
was no ticket-peddler nuisance to
annoy and solicit the voter. There
was not any delay, the voter receiv-
ing his paper promptly, and retiring
to his stall, marked the names OF
the persons he desired elected. gave
the paper to the judges and retired.
The voting was as rapid as under
the old system where everything
was hurly-burly, and the citizen,
when he escaped from the polls
didn't know whether he stood on
his head or feet and wasn't quite
certain that he had voted the ticket
he intended to support. 1t is also
worthy note that not single vote
was thrown out by reason of the
failure of the citizen to understand
the new law, or what was required
of him. AS matter of course the
expenses was less than under the
old plan.
The success attained in Louisville
may encourage the adoption of the
Australian system in other places,
for the system seems to be the best
yet adopted for giving a secret bal
lot and for preventing fraud and
intimidation at the polls.-Salt
Lake Herald.
A bill adopting the above sys-
tenn of voting in Idaho passed
the Council of our last Legislature,
but was defeated in the House, be-
cause, as republican,member from
this county admitted to THE TRI-
BuNE, the majority thoughtit would
injure the chances of the republican
party. "Great moral ideas"

ANOTHER MN KILLED.
w. E. Bedall Shoots and Kills Green
Shelton, ut Star, in This County.

The little town of star, which is
about Is miles up the valley, was
the scene of tragedy, last Satur-
day, which resulted in the loss of
human life-the second man killed
in Ada county in the past two
months, Ed. Helm having been
killed in Caldwell, January 81, by
A. C.. earle. From all that we can
learn of the affair, it seems as
though Bedell and Shelton are
brothers-in-law land that the trouble
between the men arose from the
domestic circle-Bedell claiming
that Shelton had been instrumental
in causing a separation between him
and his wife. On Saturday last
the two men met near Star, in the
road. Bcdell being OH foot and
Shelton horse back. 1t seems as
though the men passed each other,
when Shelton turned his horse and
said 81 understand you are carry
ing a six shooter for me, Bedell."
Upon that Bedell turned aud draw
ing his gun shot at Shelton three
times who fell from the horse dead.
Bedell then mounted Skeletons horse
and started for the foot hills.
Sheriff Robbins was at once notified
and deputies were Immediately sent
out in all directions. He was cap
tured OH Schafer Creek, Wednesday
morning by Chas. Brown and was
brought to Boise City by Sheriff
Robbins arriving the Wednesday
afternoon about two o'clock and
placed in the county Jail. He will
probably be tried by this term OF
court, as the Grand Jury is now
in session.
Shelton, the murdered man is the
youngest son of II. Shelton, an old
and respected citizen of Boise valley.
He was about 80 years old and
leaves wife and one child to mourn
his loss. Bedell's wife and Shell
toms wife are sisters.

The chase for W. B. Tascott,
the supposed murderer of Smell,
ended in a failure. A. ]. Stone,
son-in-law of the fugitive's supposed
victim, Millionaire Smell, returned
empty handed to Chicago last week :,
after fruitless journey of several
thousand miles. Stone was accom-
panied by detectives, following a
clue which took them to the Cana
dian Northwest. The pursuit led
them to the pacific coast. There
the capture was made, but the pris-
oner, like so many others before,
proved he was the wrong man. Mr..
Stone estimates the length of the
trip at 5000 miles.

ENFORCE THE LAW OR REPEAL 1T.

THE TRIBUNE calls the attention
of the residents and Trustees Of
School District No. %, to the fol-
lowing sections of the Revised Stat
utes of Idaho in relation to compul-
sorry Education. We are reliably
informed that this law has not been
enforced in this district since its
passage and that the violations are
numerous. There will be ten weeks
more of school in this district this
spring, and parents, guardians and
Trustees, should do their duty and
see that every child attends. This
District is taxed hundreds of dol
lars every year for the maintenance
of good school and the taxpayers
have a right to insist that every
child of school age is receiving the
benefit of the money thus raised.
The section below states the duty of
parents or guardians:
Section 672. Every parent,
guardian, or other person, in the
Territory of Idaho, having control
and charge of q child or children
between the ages of eight and four
teen years, shall be required to send
such child, or children to a public
school for a period of twelve weeks
in each school year, at least eight
weeks of which shall consecutive,
unless such child or children are
excused from such attendance by
the Board of school Trustees of the
School District in which such par
ents or guardians reside; upon its
being shown to their satisfaction
that the bodily or mental condition
of such child or children has been
such as to prevent his or her OF
their attendance at school; or appli,
cation to study for the period re-
quired, or that such child or chill
dren are taught in private school
or at home, in such branches as are
usually taught in a primary school
or have already acquired the ordin'
airy branches of learning taught in
the public schools; provided, in
case a public school shall not be
taught for the period of twelve
weeks, or any part thereof, during
the year, within two miles by the
nearest travelled road, of the resi-.
dence of any such parent or guar
dian within the school district, he
or she shall not be liable to the
provisions of this act.
The following is the penalty:
Any parent, guardian, or other
person, having control or charge OF
any child, or children, failing tc
comply with the provisions of this
act shall be liable to fine of not
less than five dollars, nor more
than twenty-five dollars, for the
first offense, nor less than ten dol

We are creditably informed
that an old miner has invented the
"boss" gold-saving machine to save
the fine gold of Snake river. The
machine is so simple that every one
who sees it wonders that it was
never thought of before. 1t consists
of board surface from three to ten
feet wide, and from six to sixteen
feet long, covered with blankets.
The boards rest on post securely
fastened in the bed of Snake river,
the edge striking the water. The
current raises the lower part of the
board so that it it floats, the current
passing under it. BY this means
the fine gold, that is ever shifting in
the river and floating in the water,
comes in contact with the boards
surface, the blanket catches the
gold, and the miner washes the
blanket, puts the gold in his pocket,
and sits on the bank smoking his
pipe, awaiting the time for another
clean up.-Silver City Avalanche.

How :: &C. Ca" CURED

BY taking Hoods Sarsaparilla, which, by
the remarkable cures it has accomplished,
often when other medicines have failed, has
proven itself to be 4 potent and peculiar
medicine for this disease. Some of these
cures are really wonderful. If you suffer from
scrofula, be sure to try Hoods Sarsaparilla.
"My daughter Mary was afflicted with scrof-
ulous sore neck from the time she was22months
old till she became six years Of age. Lumps
formed in her neck, and one OF them after
growing to the size of pigeons egg, became
running sore for over threeyears. We gave
her Hoods Sarsaparilla, when the lump and
all indications of scrofula entirely dis
appeared, and now she seems to be a healthy

SCROFULA

1t is that impurity in the blood, which, ac-
cumulating in the glands of the neck, pro-
duces unsightly Jumps or swellings; which
causes painful running sores on the arms,
legs, or feet; which deyelopes ulcers in the
eyes, ears, or nose, often causing blindness or
deafness; which is the origin Of pimples, can
cerous grcwths, or the many other manifesto
tons usually ascribed to "humors;" which,
fastening upon the lungs, causes consumption
and death. Being the most ancient, it is the
most general of all diseases or affections, for
very few persons are entirely free from it.
