JAY GOULD AND IDAHO.

On his return to New York Mr..
Gould, in speaking of Idaho, among
other things said:
sBefore reaching Idaho ] supposed
that the geographical characteristics
OF that State would not be dissimilar
to those Of Wyoming, with which !

elevation OF some 1000 feet above
sea level renders it more or less def
cient in water for irrigation purposes
To my surprise found compare
lively low altitude. with ample water
for farming and agricultural needs,
and a remarkable growth in the de-
velop,nent of fruit culture. In this
respect, indeed, this State is hardly
second to that Of Utah, which first
visited some sixteen years ago, and
found to be little else than vast area
Of sage brush, Now it has become
very fertile and highly developed ag-
riculturally, owing to its admirable
facilities for irrigation. The result Is
remarkable crops, in many cases two

OF grass or hay, on which horses and
cattle seem to thrive almost as well
on hay and oats. as many as four
crops year are raised. visited the
mines Of the Union Pacific branches
in Idaho and Montana. In Idaho the
mining industry is in It's infancy, but
it has, nevertheless, great prospects.

with a smile, "are three flies too

November Discoveries.

This is a somewhat remarkable
month for discoveries beneficial to
mankind and the influence of which
continues widening for good.
November 21, 1902, the use and
benefits of the ships compass was
discovered, and as without it safe
ocean navigation would have been
impossible, it may be called the par
ent of all geographical discoveries
that have been made since that time.
November Is, 1847, the Cape of
Good Hope was discovered and then
was opened to European commerce
water way to the treasures of the
Orient. Previous to that date, trade
between the East and west was done
by the slow and often painful pro-
gress of the caravan.
November 26, 1778, the Sandwich
Islands were discovered and this has
been boon to the Pacific ocean navi-
gators, as coaling and provisioning
station. It ought to belong to- the
United States and may some day be
annexed by Uncle Sam.
Thanksgiving Day, too, was dis
covered in New England during this
month, some two hundred years ago,
and the people of the Northwest have
discovered that to make quick, safe
and pleasant journey home on Thanks
giving or any other day-''The Bur-
lington" is the route to take.
For further information as to the at
fractions of the line, tickets, rates and
maps, call on your local agent, or

A Musical Treat.

Through the efforts of Messrs. A.
G. Thorpe, E. J. Jones, H. S. Judson,
L. J. Lundemo, L. O. Hollister and
D. R. Sutherland, the people of Nor
ris will have the opportunity of enjoy
ing a rare musical treat on Monday
evening next, when the celebrated
prima donna, Augusta Ohrstrom,
supported by first class company of
artists, will appear in concert at court
house hall.
The St. Paul Globe has the follow
ing to say of this talented artist:
Miss Ohrstrom's first number was
the Jewel Aria from Faust. In this
she was no less aa home than in the
quaint folk ditties of the native coun-
try. In the first few bars even she
evidenced her possession of a magnifi
cent soprano voice with purity and
truth in every tone and pathos I'M
equalled in the low sweet strains in
which she excells. In the fairy like
trills and runs of the Spanish Bolero
she was absolutely perfect. Miss
Ohrstrom's voice is of a character to
place her in the front rank of Prima
Donnas in this or any other country;
for culture and technical perfection,
it is the equal of any of the famed
singers of today.
Miss Ohrstrom's manners are tax
ing and she has very charming
stage presence, adding materially to
the effect of her singing.

If our city was blessed with a good
system of water works the teachers
and children who attend the east side
school would not be obliged to drink
impure water and thereby endanger
their health. OF course it would ne
cessitate the expenditure of some
money to furnish the children with
the luxury of pure water, and the in
opinion of some of our officials health
is to be regarded as secondary con-
sideration where money is taken into
amount. There is no we'll water at
the east side school house and the
pupils must either drink water from
an unclean and unhealthy cistern,
sometimes filed by water drawn from
the river, obtain it from neighboring
wells, or go without it. A town des-
titute of good water and good sewer
age, is not an inviting one for settlers.

The Swedish Ladies' Concert

Wednesday evening next, Nov. llth'
Since their appearance here about a
year ago, when they gave universal
satisfaction, the company has been
greatly strengthened by the addition
of new voices and their concerts are
if possible, better than ever.
In speaking of this excellent COM
pany the Chicago Times has the fol-
lowing: "For more than an hour last
Wednesday large company of mus
ic lovers listened with delight to a
succession of quartets, trios, duets
and solos by the Swedish Ladies'
Quartet, four beautiful women with
beautiful voices. They seem equally
at home in English, Swedish, French
and German and enunciation, express
sion and whole style of singing drew
out the most unbounded praise from
all the hearers"

We want every mother to know that
Group can be prevented. True Group
never appears without a warning. The
first symptom is hoarseness, then the
child appears to have taken cold or a
cold may have accompanied the
hoarseness from the start. After that
a peculiar rough cough is developed,
which is followed by the Group. The
time to act is when the child first be-
comes hoarse; few doses of Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy would pre-
vent the attack. Even after the
rough cough has appeared the disease
may be prevented by using this RENE
dy as directed. The only safe way is
to keep so cent bottle of the reme-
dy in the house for use whenever

years past, but that it has been
bought by The Ladies' Home Journ-
al of Philadelphia and will be pub
ished in that periodical. Mr.. How
ellis has been induced to make this
change of publishers for his next
novel because of the financial induce
ments offered by the Journal manage
ment and of the enormous audience
which his work will command through
this periodical, The story is one dis
tinctly for girls and will portray the

place Saturday evening. A farm
team started at CogePs wood yard
and dashed along Sixth street across

Last Thursday evening Jonas
Stahl, of the town Of Everglade, left
this village in company with one of
his neighbors. After leaving his
neighbor at his home he started off,
and that was the last that was seen of
him until the next morning, when he
was found lying on the prairie but a
short distance from where he had
parted from his friend, where he had
lain all night. He was picked up and
brought to town for medical attend
ance. Upon examination he was
found to be partially paralyzed from
the hips down, He fingered all day
Friday and until about nine o'clock
Saturday morning when he died. He
had his faculties to the last, but was
unable to account, so far as we can
learn, for the accident. Appearances
would indicate that he had in some
manner fallen from his buggy and
struck upon the side of his head on
the ground, undoubtedly stunning
and injuring him so that he was I'm
able to help himself, SO lay where he
fell; the left ankle was bruised as
though in falling it was caught in the
wheel. The body was taken to his
home in Everglade Saturday night.
He was man of about fifty years of
age, and leaves a widow and family,
some of whom are grown up, to mourn
his loss.
