The Idaho Campaigns.

The fight is hot in Idaho, and
while the Republicans expect to
win, it looks as though they would,
they are not Tree from anxiety.
From Republican ources we infer
that there is considerable Demo-
cratic activity and an amount of IN
certainty about how large the Nor
mon vote will be, and just how it
will be cast, The Deseret News,
the Mormon organ at Salt Lake
City, while asserting that the Idaho
Mormon will not vote, is especially
bitter against the Democrats, so that
it is not likely that the Republicans
have much to fear from that source.
There is much more danger to the
Republicans from the contest for the
Senatorship, which is really the
thing at stake in the election.
Delegate Dbuois wants to be Sem
ator; and so does Governor Shoup.

clash, and local jealeusies and rival

him to open the safe without delay.
While working the combination he
dashed a lamp 10 the face of one of

and brighten them away, but the
lamp failed to explode, and Mr..
Goldman was compelled to open the

Cotton was selling upon Che
streets Of Arcadia yesterday at from
81 to 81 cents, and though the pick.
ing has been greatly retarded by the
rains, a great many wagons loaded
with the feecy staple are upon our
streets daily. It is also a significant
fact that a great many farmers from
Claiborne, Lincoln and other adjoin-
ing parishes are selling their cotton
and buying their goods in Arcadia
The reason for this is, that the
merchants of Arcadia pay more for
cotton and sell goods cheaper than
the merchants Of her sister towns.
Arcadia is determined to maintain
the proud distinction Of being the
third best cotton market in tho
State. Up to date the merchants
Of Arcadia have bought about 1900
bales of cotton.-Herald.
