DIED-At Blackfoot, Saturday March
Z, 1891, Fred Hoffer.
The sad news that Mr.. Fred Hoffer
had at last passed away, was received
here last Saturday. 1t will be remem-
bered that he lost his mind entirely
several months ago, and was at the
asylum in Blackfoot when death came
to his release. He was at one time a
wealthy Owyhee stock man, and was
honored as a good and true man.
There is nothing to impeach the char
acter OF Fred Hoffer. OF late years he
suffered financial reverses, and his
health broke down which resulted in
mental darkness. He was sent to the
| asylum some three or four months ago.
and now death has released him from
further suffering. He leaves wife
and three children, who reside near
Caldwell, and to whom the sympathy
OF the entire community is extended.

He was captain Of 100 families from
Missouri. who crossed the plains in
1852, and settled in Idaho. He has
lived near Caldwell since that time and
was among the foremost to make civil

He leaves wife, several married

A Sensible Little Sermon for Farmers and

1t is the object of labor which gives
it it's highest dignity and it's constant
reward. The carpenter who plies his
saw and his plane; the stone-cutter who
hews the foundation stones, and the
mason who builds upon them; the
blacksmith who shapes the heated iron;
the weaver who plies the loom and the
shuttle; the farmer, the gardener, nay
the common laborer-each one of these
who pursues his task with the feeling:
~ am discharging my duty by earning
a support for myself and providing for
the present wants and future mainten-
ance of those who are dear to me;
am creating something that will add to
the welfare, the comfort, the happi-
ness of others, and am serving the in
terests of the human race"-he, what
ever his employment or station, who
has this object, holds, in truth, posi-
ton more dignified, more honorable,
than the advocate who is pleading,
with whatever eloquence and ingenuity,
yet in disregard to essential justice;
than the political leader, applauded,
successful, to whom politics is simply
matter of gain and of place; than the
great financier and Spectator whose
wealth is to him simply the means of it,

MODERATE your VOICE.

Or You Are Apt to Give . false impress
n, Says Tslmago.
Rev. z. Dewitt Talmage is fond Of
any story that will illustrate sermon
or beauty moral. Here is one that he
tells now and then in his own original
way:
A German family emigrated from the
Fatherland to this country and settled
in Milwaukee. The oldest boy, in his
teens, concluded he would start out for
himself. Finally he brought up in New
York city and soon spent all the money
the old man had given him. Then he
wrote to his father this kind of an an
peal:
DEAR FATHER: am sick and lonely,
without one single cent. Send me some
money quick. Your son, JOHN.
Now the father was illiterate, and
could not read, SO he went to a great
strapping butcher and asked him to
read the letter. The butcher had q
gruff way of reading, and loud voice.
When he finished reading Johns letter,
the father was furious, and declared he
Mould not send a penny, even if the boy
starved to death. He had never heard
Of such an impudent demand for money.
On his way home the father thought
the butcher might have made mistake
In reading, and desire to hear the let

sumptive baker, with low falling in

MILK fever CURE.

Wrong Treatment of tho Disease Worse
Than No Treatment at All.
Most everyone who has many cows
has seen one or more cases of milk fe.
yer and most dairymen have favorite
remedy for it; some of them are any
thing but sensible, and if cow sur.
wives some of the treatments which /
have heard advocated, it is because she
has a strong stomach and won't die if
she can help it.
One dairyman whom / know to be a
successful farmer and the owner of a
large herd, says: "When one of my
cows has milk fever give her all the
soft soap can get into her." L do
not know which to pity most, the cow
which has to swallow this stuff or the
man who feels it his duty to give it
to her.
The trouble usually comes on the
second or third day after calving, sell
dom later than the third, but OCCASION
ally on the first 1t can be told by the
presence of high fever; by the
cows getting up and lying down,
turning the head to the TANKS,
and when further advanced the head
laid back on one side. In the later
stages the head IS tossed aimlessly
around, often striking against the floor
or anything that is near enough to be
hit, the eyes become dull, and unless
the fever takes a turn for the better
death ensues in the course of a few
hours.
When you first notice that the animal
is uneasy then is the time to give her
some attention, and a dose of Epson
salts, about a handful dissolved in a
quart of water, should be given from
strong bottle. Just hold up her head
and pour it down her throat. If she
does not quiet down in four hours re-
peat the dose, and if she has grown
worse give her ten drops of strong tine
ture of aconite in pint of water, and
repeat this dose every four hours till she
gets on her feet again.
Care should be taken that the animal
does not catch cold; she ought not to be
allowed out Of doors unless it is quite
warm and dry for several weeks after
an attack of milk fever.-Farm, Field
and StOckman.

Sairy Wilkins, Ill warrant She was
engaged to him, l recollect now.
Blamed if l hadn't forgot that that
old maid ever had a BEAU" and Mosley
drew his hand across his eyes and
sighed.
Having located the three graves,
Mosley retraced his steps to the school
house. The afternoon session had just
closed and children were trooping
down the street while the little teacher
fingered to lock the door. Mosley
waited until she came down the steps,
then with profound bow he stepped
beside her and, escorted her to her
boarding place, telling his plans as
they went.
Miss Mason, the teacher, was enthu-
siastic and offered some ideas of her
own on the subject and they agreed
upon line of march and a programme
of songs and recitations by the pupils.
The directors gave their consent for a
holiday and the children were drilled
daily by Mosley, and the townspeople
laughed and called it Mosley's celebra-
ton and took the whole thing far
from seriously. But Mosley and the
little teacher were undaunted and on
the morning of the 5Oth, promptly at
ten. the procession set out from the
schoolyard.
First was Mosley, arranged in his old
uniform and with red and blue sash
across his shoulder; then followed Miss
Mason, and after her the children
marched two and two, each car
'rying three tiny flags and a. great
wreath of SNOWFALL and red "pineys;'
for Mosley had determined that the
thing should be well done, and thirty
small flags and ten SNOWFALL -wreaths
make a brave showing on . grave, I
can tell you.
Behind the children walked two vet
Grams, whom Mosley's eloquence had
aroused to enthusiasm, and the rear
was brought UP by Mosley's six chums
they of the depot fence. -
1t made quite an impressive sight, for
Mosley had arranged them at long in
tervals SO that they might make more
of a display; and a good many towns
people had joined the: ranks of stray
glers in the rear.
The exercises, did credit to the taste
of the managers, and the whole thing
was decided success. But when the
preacher mentioned it and praised the
originators from the pulpit, the follow
ing Sabbath, old Mosley's triumph was
complete, and he was a hero indeed.
The next year Memorial day was OBJ
served in Daysville with more imposing
ceremonies. The y long procession
marched to martial music, and there
was an grafton and fine singing; but
there were four graves this time to be
covered with flags and flowers, for. old
Mosley had received his honorable dis
charge and had been mustered out.
While he had been i'll, he had taken
much interest IN the plans for the next
memorial services and he, had talked it
all over with the little teacher.
.sIwon't be marchin' with the children
this time, God bless 'em!'' said he, ,'sfor
I'll be layin' beside my captain, there.

certainly was absurd of him to wear
his trousers conspicuously rolled up
high enough to show an expanse of
dingy white sock on one leg, and on the
other an equal extent OF the very
pink and highly-varnished wooden
limb, which Uncle Sam had presented
to him to atone in slight way for the
one he had lost in his country's service.
For Moslcy was proud of his natural
leg, proud of his wooden leg and proud
of his record as a soldier. He had
fought bravely and we'll, and when he
had returned from the war with one
leg gone and his breast covered with
scars, he had found his cottage empty
and his hearthstone bare; his wife had
taken what of their goods she could
carry and had gone with another man.
Since then he had lived alone with no
companion save an occasional stray dog
who would come to him and stay for a
time. then wander off,

times as any hamlet shut off from COM

the others took such fare as their wives
provided for them and emulated Mos

The weather had been unsettled for
several days, and although it was the

cold to be comfortable out of doors
Mosley had been in with the rheuma-
