Our friend Mr.. Ellington was the
victim of an April Fool joke which
was good but rather mean. He drove
to Nampa to take the Idaho Central
for Boise City. While there the west
bound mail came through. Mr.. Il.
asked the brakeman il that was the
train for Boise City and was answered
in the affirmative. Getting aboard he
sank down in seat for an hours ride
to the capital. His surprise can better
be imagined than described when after
a ten minute run he was dumped off at
Caldwell, from where he had started
several hours before.

Conservative people in authority, how
ever, say there is no danger.
Mr.. Chas. Cakes, of Emmett, met
with quite severe accident this week.
He was blowing with a sulky pillow

no doubt, to raise acorns. Three ribs
were broken aud he was otherwise
injured.

new firm is the successor to The Cald-
well Lumber Co., and will carry on a
general numbering business at the old

The combination heretofore existing
between the lumber firms of Caldwell

Campbell has charge of the yards at
Caldwell, and will be pleased to give
estimates to those wanting anything in
that line. .... ..

FREE NAIL DELIVERY.
Caldwell Designated IS the Expert
mental Point for Idaho.

The following letter has been received
by THE TRIBUNE from Congressman
Willis Sweet which will explain itself:
WASHINGTON, March Is, l89l-Ih have
designated Caldwell rs the town in
Idaho for the trial of the free delivery
system under the p. u. Dept. in small
towns. The appropriation is very small,
and the fact that labor comes some
what higher in the west than in the
east makes it more difficult for us to
experiment successfully. However,
upon the success of the experiment
depends the obtaining of sufficient
appropriation T. r the general establish
ment of the free delivery system in
our state. Much depends upon tie
good offices of the postmaster, and l
trust that your citizens will give Mr..
Bailey a warm support in the effort to
successfully establish this most conven.
lent and useful adjunct to our present
service. Caldwell Is experimenting Tor
the entire state.
Very Truly Yours,
WILLIS SWEET.
As will be seen by the above the free
mail delivery for small towns is to be
testedin Caldwell for Idaho. The depar' =
ment allows for the service the sum of
e2l2 which is indeed very small allow
ance for the work to be performed.
Whether or not it can be done for this,
THE TRIBUNE does not know, and how
to 60 about it is q matter for the post.
master and citizens to decide. The
department furnishes the letter boxes
etc., and the appropriation is for the
labor performed. THE TRIBUNE hopes
| the matter will be given trial, at least
The Board of Trade or the town coun
Gil should take the matter up and take
some action.

A Prominent Boston Real Estat Man a Victim of the Accident q Rast Thonuaon.

A Prominent Boston Real Estate
 Man . Victim of the Accident at
 East Thompson.
 BOSTON, Dec. 7.-There seems little doubt that Edward H. Bath, prominent real estate man doing besiness at Il John street, was the passenger burned to death in the Pullman car in the New York and New England at East Thompson, Conn, last Friday. He started for this city, but Brooklyn, who knew him, states that he sold Rath ticket to Boston by that Pull man train. Yesterday his brother, Henry O. Rath, came to Boston and fully identi- fled watch and chain and bunch of keys picked up out of the wreck ss those belonging to the missing man. The broth CT was most positive in his identification of these articles. The two men are in business together and had duplicate keys to the safe, doors and drawers in their office and those upon Henry's ring corresponded exactly with those taken from the wreck. Before his departure for New York to-day MT. Bath said 'there is no question but that my brother was killed and burned in the wreck of the Midland sleeper. When I heard of the accident sent man there, but he could find no trace of my brother. He did find a man, however, who told of seeing passenger walk from the front door of the car to the rear door, arriving there just as the engine of the boat train telescoped the ear. This man talked to the passenger believed to have been killed, and from the description he gave to him was positive that my brother was the man. There could not be much doubt about it, as there were only four people in the car and there was consequently little chance of misidentifcation"

Court Adjourned Until Wednesday,
 Sensational Facts Expected to be
 Brought Ont.
 DENVER, Col, Dec. 7.-Judge Rising's court was crowded this morning with an assemblage eager to hear District Attorney Stevens opening address in the Graves case, which was scheduled for this morn ing, and which promised to be sensational. Their looks were quickly changed to those of disappointment when Judge Marsh en- tered and announced that Judge Rising was still too i'll to hold court and an ad- jonrnment was necessary. The jury is be- coming weary and the lawyers out of hu- nor and if Judge Rising is unable to open court to-morrow another judge will proba- ply be agreed on who will take the case Wednesday morning. Sev- eral new witnesses arrived here from the east to-day who will testify in behalf of Dr. Graves They are from the doctors old home and claim to have evidence which will clear him without the slightest doubt. The prosecution laugh at these statements and in reply say: Wait until you hear our testimony. The de- fence will undoubtedly take the ground and attempt to prove that the fatal poison was put in the whiskey after its arrival here by whom they will not say. If the past lives of some of the persons interested on both sides of the case are aired in court, it will without question be one of the most sensational trials ever known in American criminal history.

Adjournment of the House Until
 Tomorrow.
 WASHINGTON, Dec. 7.-The hall of the house of representatives presented pecu- liar appearance at the opening of the doors of the press gallery this morning. On the democratic side every seat was filled, while on the republican side there was only sprinkling of members. By some error of management the doors to the public galleries were not opened till few minutes before the hour of conver- ing. By that time the persons in the cor riders were jsmmed so tightly together that it was impossible for the door-openers to reach them except by climbing up from the floor of the chamber and unlocking them from the inside.
 When they were opened the multitude poured through like spring torrent men, women and children indiscriminate- ly, the women showing, if possible, more agility in climbing over the backs of seats than their escorts.
 On the democratic side MT. Mills was the only one of the contestants for the speak ership who was at all conspicuous. He held levee in his old seat, many republicans crossing over to shake hands with him Ex-Speaker Reed took modest place about the middle of the republican quad | rant, with Julius c. Burroughs and Henry Cabot Lodge on each side of him. Wher his name was called by the clerk not { little of the applause came from the demo cratic rear corner.
