His Family aud friends.
A. J. MCGOWAN, the well.known
attorney at.law of this city, died at
his residence about half-past 6 o'clock
last evening. Although he had been
IN delicate health for the past couple

wife, two daughters-Winifred, aged
8, and Rachel, aged 4, besides a ia
ther, brother and other relatives in
Michigan and elsewhere. AS he was
quite wealthy, his family is left well
provided for.
1t is cause for consolation that he
dsed without apparent pain, and as il
he fell asleep.
His family will have the comfor

FOURTH ANNUAL ENCAMPMENT.
1t Will BE Held in Boise, Beginning
Tuesday, April %, 1891.

At the last Annual Encampment of
the Department of Idaho, Grand
Army of the Republic, Shoskone was
fixed upon as the place at which to
hold the Fourth Annual Encampment,
in April, 1891. The destruction by
fire of the leading hotel Of that place,
and the consequent inability of the
local post, owing to the lack of suit
able accommodations, to entertain the
Encampment, has regre,fully com
PEELED a change Of place.
Boise having received the next
highest number Of votes, il was bu,
fair that the Capital should have the
refusal of the encampment. As soon
as the comrades OF Phil. Sheridan
Post, No. 4, learned Of the possibility
of thei. getting the encampment, the y
went to work with their usual vim
with the result indicated in the FL
lowing general order:

no exemption. If this was the inten-
ton of the legislature it is an outrage;
if it was not the intention this fact
should be ~ascertained, an extra session
of the Legislature called, and the law
framed as it should be. Our opinion
is that if this matter were brought
before the courts they would put a
rational construction on the intent of
the Legislature and decide accordingly.
The Morning Star.
The Farmers, no matter whether
they belong to the Union and Alliance
or not, can by close watching, soon de-
termine what newspapers are laboring
for their welfare or against it. Where
you see them throwing cold water on
theplans for relief, without giving them
just considerations, you can mark
them down as enemies, and if you
continue to support them, you can
mark yourself down as a fool. The
working people have made this country
what it is, and every drone now con-
siders himself a queen bee. These
drones r trying to SOW seeds of dis
c~ensiOn, in the ranks of organized
labor, while they themselves are organ
izing more thoroughly. They hope to
stave off the day of reckoning a little
longer and rob labor of that much
more Of it's earnings. Farmers Vjdette.

FOREIGN NEWS.

ROME, April 1.-The United States
Minister, Mr.. A. J. Porter, yesterday
called to see the Marquis di Rudini, the
Italian premier, who, however, was
absent from the city. Mr.. Porter, in
the absence of the Marquis, saw the
under secretary for foreign affairs,
SignOr d'Arco. Mr.. Porter's interview
with Signor d'Arco lasted about two
hours, and during the course of the
conversation, which was conducted in
English, the United States minister ex-
pressed regret at the fact that the
Italian government had thought fit
to recall Baron Fava, and, generally
speaking, thought that the United
States Government would not deny any
request of the Italian Government if
there was a and fairness in such
demand. Mr.. Porter also promised to
place before the United States Govern
ment at Washington the substance of
the conversation which took place be-
tween himself and Signor d'Arco. In
cidentally, Mr.. Porter also suggested
that the Italian Government should
wait until tomorrow before taking
further action, in the hope that a salts
factory answer might be received from
Washington.
Before Mr.. Porter left Signor d'Arco's
office the latter said: Suppose a dozen
American citizens were murdered in an

because it is Unconstitutional is get
ting to be farcical. The fact is 1.-The
powers that be- which properly inter
preted means the motley pO10er, is IN
compromisingly opposed to any plan
which looks to the distribution of
money among the people without the
intervention of banks or similar cor
porations.
SENATOR GEORGES SCHEME.
Directing to the Sub-Treasury plan,
Senator George says: 81 have no
scheme for the relief of the farmers
other than such as comes from good,
honest, fair, impartial government, the
~lessening of taxation, removing the OBJ
stacles to free markets all over the
world, the free coinage of gold and
silver, and the issue of United States
Treasury notes so as to give them the
treasury notes. an amount equal to $40
per head of our population. With this
free coinage and the issue of treasury
notes, the currency would soon amount
1850 per head for our people,"

Ons Of \ Ways thu Portsrs Keep Track
Ut Thoir CHESTS.

One 0f ths Ways thu Porters Keep Track
Of Their Guests.
Tourists have hitherto permitted their
luggage 10 be plastsred over with hotel la
bels on the ground that IL did nor hurt
them while IL appeared to amuse the hotel
porter, says the New York Herald. Bnt IL
has Just been discovered that the hotel
porter uses his paste brush and labels with
a more serious object than that of amusing
himself. These labels have q secret msan-
ing. aAd they convey from one hotel keeper
To another information M TO the character
of the owner of the luggage. According to
tho pattern. color or position OF the label, II
may mean that the tourist is one
who objects to highway robbery in
that he 10 a meek person who can
be cheated without fear and who il fruitsu
of tips. In Swiss hotelkeeper can rsnd
the labels o N the luggage of n newcomer Mt
4 single glance, and II they are not salts
tory the latter Il informed that there is no
room for him. Now that this secret IN
nefarious practice has been exposed, it
might be we'll for tourists TO organize a
somewhat similar scheme for their wi
protection. For example, with the mid OF a
blue pencil they might mark the labels Of
good hotels with A cross and those of bad
ones with a circle. by this means the
character of every hotel in Switzerland
might be read on the ends Of boxes and
~valisea ~ they are wheeled through the
railway station on their way to the luggage
van. Landlords oonld thus be successfully
not impossible that in time they would be-
come sufficiently alarmed to abandon for
ever the practice Of defacing travellers lug
