Barley-Corn Club entertainment.

The entertainment given by the
Barley Corn Club last Wednesday
evening, was one of the best that
the Club has presented to the pub
lie this season, and is worthy of
special mention. The programme
consisted of two songs, two dia-
logues and two recitations. One Of
the songs was a solo by Miss Carrie
Ludlow, and gave the pleasure that
her sweet young voice always does.
The other was well-executed duet
by Misses Nettie Hickey and Josie
Perkins. The amusing dialogue Of
"Jack and the Bean Stalk" was
we'll sustained by Miss Esther Rit-
chic, George Richie and Alonzo
Price. The other dialogue was a
comic portrayal of a dutchman's
trials on account of not being able
to read English, and the parts were
we'll taken by Miss Josie Perkins,
Russell and Harry Westman and
James Mccoy. The gem of the
evening was little Leila Montgom-
ery's recitation of "My Dolly is
Dead" The other recitation was
Education" very finely given by
Albert Haines. Notwithstanding
the snow storm that was raging on
that evening, the house was we'll
filled by a we'll pleased audience.
The officers of the Club deserve
great credit for having kept up the
interest, and having held their meet
ings SO regularly during this winter
of deep snow and continual storm.
With the exception of the "Chris-
tan Endeavor Society,"" which, I'M
der the management of Miss Van
Wormer, meets regularly every
week, the Barley-Corn Club is the
only sign of life our little town has
manifested this winter. The public
will regret that the work Of the
Club will go soon close for this sea-
son. The president, Mr.. Gillette,
will deliver lecture next Wednes-
day evening, January 29th, and the
last entertainment for the winter
will be given February 18th, when
an unusually fine programme will
be prepared. The season is a short
one this year on account of Lent
beginning so early, the 10th Of Feb
ruary being Ash Wednesday.

over-zealousness Of Dubois.
A late press dispatch from Wasl

A late press dlBpatch from WASH
ington states that: IF Idaho sue
ceeds in receiving favorable action
from Congress which will enable
her to enter the union Of states, it
will not be because of the wisdom
and discretion of her advocates, but
rather in spite of them. An Incl
dent occurred in the room ef the
House Committee on Territories,
last week, which illustrated the cor
rectness of the observation.
"The opponents of admission
went before the committee to ask
that no action be taken until they,
the opponents, should have an OPP
portunity of being heard. They
stated that Judge Wilson, the attor-
ney for their side, was otherwise
engaged that day and begged that
the committee postpone further
consideration until a week after.
Delegate Dubois, who was pres
ent, Immediately sprang to his feet
with fierce gestures and flaming
countenance and opposed the prop
osition. He asserted with vehe-
mence that the truth was that the
Mormon side of the question had
been repeatedly heard during the
past four years; that they had had
hearings in the Senator'S house dur
ing the present session, and that it
was not proper that any further
consideration should be accorded
to them. He then proceeded in his
usual Incorporate fashion to char
acterize the Mormons as lechers,
cut-throats, scoundrels and a bad
lot generally. During the course
of his TRADE he referred to Mr..
Game as the mormon delegate. F"
Mr.. Game interrupted Mr.. Dubois
at this point and in a quiet, digni-
fed manner said that he was not
the Mormon delegate, but the dele
gate from Utah. Mr.. Gaines cor
rection was made with so much ap-
positeness, and yet with such ex-
treme courtesy that it's effect was
not lost upon the committee or upon
Mr.. Dubois either, who realized that
such personalities were calculated
to do him more harm than good.
He therefore apologized for his re-
mark and accepted the correction.
"Mr. Game warmly defended the
Mormons of Idaho from Mr.. Dubois
attack. Replying to the latter's
statement that the Mormons were
not Americans, Mr.. Caine said that
was wholly unjust and unfounded
declaration. He showed that they
were the pioneers Of Idaho, and that
to their pluck and thrift and indus
try much of the material develop
ment of the territory was due.
"The committee withouta dissent
ing vote agreed to a postponement
of the question until Mr.. Game ano
his associates could be heard"
The dispatch concludes with the
following gentle reminder:
"The Idaho friends of admission
had better muzzle Mr.. Dubois, or a
least give him few months vaca
ton. If they do not, his lack o
discretion and incorporate zeal vii
more than neutralize their best di
rected efforts"

it seems the Messenger has just got
on to it, and devotes two columns

zone thing which is most satisfac-
tory tn me-" said the general, sis the
fac; that the troops, which made q
forced march under cover of night,
had reached their point Of destination
before the Indians had insugurated
hostilities; and the further fact that
they are not committing any serious
acts of violence, is favorable; and now
they have to attack our troops In our
own position, or else resort to breaking
away from the reservation. In other
words, the principal danger now is
that The violent element may break
awsy and leave the reservation. The
