BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH.

BIooRAPHIcAL SKETCH.
Hon. William ClaRgets vas born
September 81, 1888, in Prince
George county. Maryland; secured
. good common school education,
and At the age of 16 began the study
oflav, being admitted to the bar in
Keokuk, Iowa, At TIE age Of 10,
after which be attended . Law
school in Albany, y. Y, for one
year, At the expiration Of which
time he commenced the practice Of
law. He crossed the plains to the
Pacific Coast when p, and has
since lived in Nevada; Montana,
Dakota and Idaho, dividing the
time between practcing Law and
mining. He served two years in
the Legislature of Nevada Territory,
and was also . member of the first
Senate of Nevada. he served in the
Forty-second Congress - Delegate
from Montana. He was the author
Of the bill creating Yellowstone
National Park, and assisted very
largely in preparing the mining
act of 1872, and was beaten for
reelection for defending a provision
in the act requiring an annual
assessment of all mining claims, a
provision Of the law which has more
than doubled the product Of the
precious metals of the United
States.
He came to Idaho eight years
ago and has lived here ever since.
He was elected president of the
convention which framed the Con-
stitution of the state and recently
was elected fourth United States
Senator from this state, to contest
the seat of Hon. Fred T. Dubois,
who was elected 10 a seat in the
Senate for the term commencing
March 4th, 1891.
DUBOIS HAS INSIDE TRACK.
Nampa Progress Rep.)-Last
Wednesday the Legislature Of
Idaho elected Judge Ciaggett 10
serve as U. s. Senator for the long
term, to commence on the fourth
Of March. Only nine republicans
voted; all the democrats except
Branstetter and Jones voted for
Ciaggett. Fifteen republicans
signed protest against the pro-
ceedings. The democrats have
accomplished their purpose-split
the republican party-and the war
will now be carried to Washington.
Some pretend to believe that Clag-
gett will get the seat, but Dubois
has the inside track and is long
way ahead.
WAY OUT OF THE DIFFICULTY.
Blackfoot News (Dem.)-Would
it not be we'll to settle all disputes
as to United States Senator by
suffering w. J. Mcconnell to re.
main where he is? He has been
tried and found to be capable, ener.
getic, and true to the interests of
the Great West. Our only wish
and hope is that he will insist on
holding his seat, and in that event
1t is q grave question with many
legal minds whether he would be
unseated or not. Try it, old man.
SHOULD BE KICKED.
Malad Enterprise (Rep. )-There
are two men in the Republican
party who should be kicked out
with all possible speed. Namely,
Claggett and Briggs.
CANNOT ALWAYS TELL.
Boise Democrat (Dem. )-There
is no telling how the United States
senate will decide the contest
between Dubois and Claggett.

SOMETHING TO BE PROUD OF.
Blaekfoot News dem. )-When
all the members of the first Legis-
islature of the new state of Idaho,
the 44th state in the union of states
get back to their homes, some in
towns, some in the mines, in gull
ches and Lillsides, and some in
cabins hid away in the sage brush,
and at the soft and quiet hour of
evening look back over their labors
of law.making they will have the
proud consciousness of knowing
that they voted for four United
States Senators and drew their
salaries like men.
WHAT IT COST.
Dispatch to Salt Lake Tribune
It is estimated that the Senatorial
contest has cost the people of Idaho
not less than $4,000, besides
delaying legislation on imperative
matters. At the meeting Of the
jubilation after election, Claggett
thanked the democrats for voting
for him, and said they had forced
the republican party to keep it's
pledges.
THE GREAT SEAL NOT ATTACHED.

ham, secretary of state, for his
refusal to attach the Great Seal of
State to Mr.. Claggett's credentials,
The Statesman publishes them in
full in this issue. Mr.. Pinkham's
course is manly and honorable and
will be commended all over the
state by the friends of good faith
and fair play. Having once certi-
fed upon due authority and legal
proof that Senator Dubois had been
duly elected, no other course was
left to him than to refuse without a
qualification of himself. That it
is manifestation Of what the world
calls "sand" is 40 self evident a.
the action of Mr.. Claggett in
requesting the secretary to attach
the Great Seal was in the vernacu-
lar-sgall." Probably never be-

but one cannot always tell.
ME MORE SENATOR'S.
Idaho World (Rep.)-The Su-
premed court will soon decide
whether this il limited, regular
session Of the Legislature, or an
unlimited session. If decided to
be . regular session, the notorious
majority will pray that an extra
session be called for the purpose of
electing nine more senator's and to
declare the constitution of the
United States null and void. and
will then proceed to elect Claggett
Supreme Ruler Of the Universe,
wbereupon the newly elected nine
will be declared to be the rulers of
the nine principalities into which
the universe will be divided. The
World states this in advance so
that the people will not be unduly
shocked when they hear the worst.
This news was received by under
ground telephone from one who is
on the inside-the dark side-and
knows what's what, what will hap
pen and when it will pop. We
advised him to hold the cork down
tight until the proper time arrives.
He said he would. We made him
thus promise so as to get the news
ahead of all other papers. 1t was
q mean trick, but the World don't
want to be eutdone in sending
startling news broadcast ahead of
time. Wait till the next full moon
pokes his head above the hilltops.
That is the hour fixed upon. The
ancients discovered that the full
moon had a great effect on the
minds of the people. If the new
moon has had such great effect,
what may we not expect Of a moon
in full bloom? 1t may be even
worse and more startling than
stated.
SAYS IT'S TINE WASTED.
Ketchum Keystone { Dem. 1.-The
Legislature has elected Judge Clag-
gett, in place of Dubois, to the
United States Senate. We fear
the time employed in effecting this
election has been wasted. We
never have believed that Dubois was
properly or lawfully elected, and
hence have maintained that he
was not, but We have believed, and
do believe, have stated and now
state, that it is our candid opinion
that majority of the Senate were
pledged to Dubois before his cleo
ton; that his credentials to that
body would be approved whether
lawful or not. Entertaining this
belief, We cannot believe that Judge

and yet not be distinguishable itself This
is also kept secret.
Ten to fifteen years ago most of the per
fumery used in the United States came
from abroad; today. with a greatly in
creased use, the great bulk Is made on this
side Of the water. One house has gCne SO
far as to export its goods, and they can
be found on sale in several European
cities.
Experts in the manufacture vi perfumery
say that the sense of smell can be devel
oped just as acutely as the senses Of sight,
hearing, taste and touch. TINS would
seem paradoxical, for it is well-known
fact that the uneducateG nose so loses it.
power that ability to distinguish odors i
entirely lost.
This to degree is true Of the unedu.
Gated nose, but its power lasts longer
An expert is able by putting drop CT
two of perfume on bit Of cotton to tell
what it is and just what scents enter into
its composition.
So expert have the perfumery chemists
become that they can, with their different
odors, counterfeit exactly the odor of any
flower. The educated nose is not without
its advantages financially.
The possessor OF one not only earns a
large salary in the perfumery business,
but is expert testimony in lawsuits involv-
ing patented perfumes. A notable instance
occurred short while ago One firm sued
another for initiating one OF its patented
brands.
Four experts were called in, and each
was required to distinguish between the
genuine article and the imitation All
four wrote their opinion on a slip of paper
and handed it TO the Judge. The slips of
paper all agreed
The manufacture Of bottles for perfum-
cry gives employment to hundreds of per
sons All but the very fancy ones are
made in this country. A few come from
France and Belgium. The kid shoppers
are all imported in a crude shape, but are
finished here
The high price of labor here makes the
retail price of perfume higher than abroad.
Wages in New York are double those in
France The tariff also has its effect in
raising the price
Many condemn the use of perfumes ae
vulgar. but as long as we have wives and
sisters, daughters and sweethearts, the
industry will flourish. N Y. Sun.

AN officer in the employ Of the United
States government, according to the New
York Times, has received a letter FROM an
officer on the general stall Of the German
emperor, which indicates that a general
European war is expected by next spring
Emperor William is making arrangement
for it by securing an option on guns and
provisions in this country. One hundred
thousand stands Of arms quantities Of
war munitions and provisions are now
stored in anticipation Of such a war. The
fact that Russia has $4,000 soldiers mass
ed on her western frontier, and the
further fact that Alexander recently re-
fused the inequalities Of William, are
regarded as straws showing that the wind
Is blowing toward war On the other
hand Lord Salisbury says no signs Of a
foreign outbreak are visible.
