THE McFADDEN SHOW.
1t Sneaked Away Without Paying Its
Bills.

The "Great McFadden's Double
Uncle Toms Cabin" show, of IS p-o>
pie more or less, came up to.day-in
only one car, instrad Of two, as ad-
vertised. The troupe, as near as a
TINES reporter could ascertain, con
sists Of six persons-two females, one
bloodhound, and small donkey. They
will not show here to night on the
plea that the tent was torn bv the
wind, in Bellevue last night. The
dilapidated car containing the troupe
and all its belongings was hauled
down in the rear of this evening =
train to Shoshone, the members of
the troupe being in great glee over
the impotent tffo,ts of the creditors
who went through the car, just as it
moved away, without being able to
discover single responsible party in
it to whom bill could be presented.
Ii the car were attached ut Shoshone
by these creditors tho bilking show

funny.
There were IA reserved seats sold
at the Aituras Hotel Tor the show.

BONDS AT A PRENlUN.



The State Of Idaho, April ~, sold
to N. II. Harris & Co., of Chicago,
$4,000 Of State Bonds at st per
cent. premium. The bonds bear 6
per cent. interest. When idaho was
admitted to Statehood there was a
floating i.debtedn.s IS aud outstannd.
i"g warrants to the amount of SO 600,
bearing interest At 10 per cent per
annu,n, and of which = considerable
amount has already been paid. The
Legislature authorized the refunding
OF this debt, and these bonds are
issued under the provisions of the act
in question. Now. why couldn't our
County Commissioners make arrange
ments to r-bond the debt Of Sho
>hone county: - Wallace, Idaho,
Press.
The Indebtedness of no county IN
Idaho can be either bonded or re-.
bonded at present. While the State
refuses to give the people Of Al.ura.
an opportunity Of paying its jus. obi.
cations. no capitalist in the world
will invest a dollar in any Of on,
county bonds. THIS is not generally
known, because few people are we'll
informed in regard to public affairs
But the time is coming when oil the
people of Idaho, irrespective Of party
utilization, will denounce as with one
voice, the corrupt scoundreIs who. q
couple Of years ago, committed the
crime of fraudul"ntiy passing a bill
which an .inane Supreme Court l-gi,i.
mized. Twenty years of prosperity
aid Of prompt discharge Of obliga.
tions will not restore to the counties
of This State the loss of credit conse.
quent upon that fraud.

WHY Do THE HEATHER RAGE
And Imagine Vain Thing About the
NeWspapers2

| National Journalistic
The heather rage against the news.

sons and no reasons-because they
don't like to be published into noto.
riety, because they don't wish to have
others lean certain things about tn N
selves, because th.i friends have
been unpleAsaltly noticed, because
the paper has published what they
did not wish it to publish, and be-
cause it has not pub ished that which
they asked it t. print. Almost always
BECAUSE OF some point which affect.
their own self interest or seIfshness
do the h-ath.n rug-; and here and
there is one who RACES on general
principles" and ulters his fiat abolish
ing the whole institution, taking pains,
next day, to secure extra copies con.
tanning his anathema tor himself and
his friends. 1t is safe to state that
there is not single issue OF news
paper in print which does not contain
something somewhere at which some
heather RACES in spirit.
But putting aside all these causes
for displeasure on the part of the
heather, let me state one particular
circumstance and this is really one Of
the chief reasons why the heather
rage 80 much and so unreasonably at
the daily press. The circu instance is
this: The Pathfinder, the csrpe,, the
would>be censor Of the press, very
rarely asks himself these questions:
us this r'ght?" Is it just?" us it
fair statement" He never seems to
recoll-ct that in reputable j urnali>m
the first law, the guiding rule of All
honorable editor is the simple one of
sound sense and exact justice; aud it
is because they do not consider this
point that the heather rage 50 much
more than is necessary, and often
make asses of themselves when they
might pose as wise counselors. In
fine. then. the heather rage because
they cannot SEE that in reputable
journalism justice and commoc sense
rule the editor; not malice, spite and
prejudice.
Remember this: Wrongdoers are
more fearful of the press than Of law,
justice so.called or punishment. You
can hire q lawyer; buy jury; Judges
never tell tales out of court; doctors
keep their own counsel, aud scandal
hy word of mouth travels hut a brief
space; but the press cannot be fright
ened. bought, OF forced into silence.
Big sinners-and they are the hardes,
to catch-fear the exposures of the
press more than they dread the panRs
Of the law or the pricks of conscience
Don't C'owl if to dAv your paper
doesn't suit YOU. The editor douh,l. IS
did the best that he could with what
acceptable material the community
supplied Ard Won are getting for \
few cents that which cost much more
than you paid for it.

Explosion Horror at Chicago.

CHICAGO, Ill, Oct. By the explo-
sion of boiler on board the tug c. w.
Parker, at $50 yesterday afternoon,
eight people were instantly killed and
many were injured. The steamer H. S.
Pickalds got stuck in the draw at the
Archer avenue bridge TIE tug Van
Schaak tried to pull her out, but failed,
She summoned assistance, and the tugs
Perry Shields and G. W. Parker res
pended The four tugs hitched to the
rear of the big vessel and an effort was
made to pull her out backwards. All
Of the tugs we're straining to get the
disabled boat out of her difficulty when
without the least warning the boiler Of
the tug Parker blew up with a deafening
noise.
A large crowd Of people had gathered
on the banks and bridge to watch the
tugs at work. Into this mass of human
itY huge pieces Of iron we're hurled with
giant force. The boiler of the tug was
blown high into the air and over the
building and landed 400 feet away from
the scene of the accident on Ashland
avenue. The tug Parker was blown
out of existence and only few shattered
timbers showed where she had been.
Search for the bodies of the dead
commenced at once.
1t Is thought the bodies of the first
three were blown to fragments. The
Curtin man was standing on the bridge
and was struck by fragment of the
boiler, Samuel Sawyer, switchman,
was standing on the bank and was
struck by the flying debris. Charles
Boyke, boy, was on the tug. Mrs.
Mary Rice and her IS months old daugh
Ter Barbara were standing on the bank
at the time and we're struck by the fur
mace door and instantly killed.
Among the wounded are, Joseph Cul-
len, the fireman on the ting, who was
blown into the river and will die; Henry
Bell deck hand, badly scalded and one
leg paralyzed; Charles Kir,in a bystana
er, head injured: Frank Wagner, arm
broken; Joseph Bomeraza bystander.
skull fractured and viii die: George jew
eli, captain OF the tug Van Schaak, leg
and back bruised; Lewis Demass, deck
hand on he Van Schaak badly hurt;
James Cunningham cook on the Van
Setback, lad scalp wound.
The river at this point is very thick.
Experts say that the explosion was not
caused by lack Of water in the boiler
but claim that the scum and froth from
the river was the cause, the boiler hav-
ing become choked with filth

LIVE STOCK.
Many persons in contemplating what
Washington will send to Chicago fail to
consider the live stock interests. Many
letters have already been written to each
county Of this state seeking the names
of parties interested in any kind of i'm
proved live stock. AS soon as the lum-
Der convention is organized and well
at work it is proposed to call a conven-
ton of the live stock breeders of the
state of Washington, and assurances
have already been given that it will
not only result in a permanent breeders
association, but it will assure an ade-
quate representation in the live stock

AGRICULTURE.

In this department Chief Buchanan of
the exposition has proven himself of
great help, and has given Washington
many valuable suggestions The national
department Of agriculture has already
appointed DR.. Blalock representative
to help collect Washington grains to be
placed in the national exhibit. An effort
is being made to have similar repre-
sentative appointed in each county, so
as to bring Washington in the lead of
all other states. Grain of all kinds is
now being collected in each county.
Large quantities are wanted, so as to
have an abundance for exhibit and to
give away in neat little souvenir bags.
HORTICULTURE.
John NJ. Samuels has been appointed
at the head of this department at Chica-
go. He is now preparing receipts and a
schedule for the help of the Washington
commission. Letters have also been
written to the California state board Of
trade, the Smithsonian institute, the Ma
tional museum and other reliable parties
for the best receipts for preserving and
exhibiting fruits The information will
be speedily supplied to each commits
sioner
Unavoidable delay in procuring proper
jars has prevented saving much of this
yearss fruits but the best efforts are
now being bent in this direction, and it
is hoped that some valuable specimens OF
this years crop can be saved.
At slight expense some of the finest
specimens of fruits eyer seen in Walla
Walla county have been gathered for the
worlds fair exhibit. These have com
manded great praise from all who have
seen them in the Tacoma exposition
and the Walla Walla county fair. Mos
of these specimens will be preserved il
the best ways possible until the perma
nent jars arrive from the eastern factory
