TIE IDAHO CIRCUS
Dubois, Shoup and Mcconnell Are
the Chief Performers.
BEATTY STARTS FOR WASHINGTON
10 Refute the Charges Against Him-Pinkham
Is Nominated For Marshal-"Cut
Me Down, FfeddieD

WASHINGTON, Feb. 16.-[Special tele-
gram to The HERALD. Fred Dubois face
Is illuminated with the first smile it has
worn Tor many weeks. His pleasure arises
from the fact that the President to-day
nominated Judge Pinkham as United States
marshal of Idaho. The action was entirely
unexpected. Dubois believed that no nomi.
nation would be made until Beatty's case
mad been disposed of, and he is at a loss to
account for the Presidents complaisance in
the matter.
Dubois has been notified that Beatty and
Claggett started for Washington last
Saturday. They will arrive Thursday
and then the fun will begin. Beatty
has telegraphed that he can successfully
refute all the charges against him, and he
promises to make it hot for the senatorial
trio who have been maligning him. This
reminds me by the way that there is a pain
1ul lack OF harmony among the Idaho SEN
atorlaI combine. 1t is only faint whisper
as yet, but hear that Dubois and Shoup
each accuse Mcconnell of duplicity. They
say, for example, that Mcconnell indorsed
Beatty in warm terms to the President the
last time ne called at the White House and
tnen ne went before the judiciary
committee, and told Senator Edmunds thai
Beatty was regular "bad lot" The man
who can get the three Senators at the close
of the session to give him their honest
opinion of each other will secure an inter
view that ought to make what old Simon
Cameron used TO call mighty interesting

cabin, a distance of about nine hundred
feet, were caught by the fearful avalanche

universally respected in this, the town of
his adopted home. He was general favor

this terrible calamity has cast a gloom
over the whole community. Mr.. Hampton
was only about thirty two years of age.
Charles Spears, the other victim of the
sad accident, was unmarried and pioneer
of Ketchum, thorough mechanic by pro.
fessiou, and many old timers and acquaint-
ances of Charles will miss his open hearted
and genial countenance.
A severe snowstorm has been raging in
central Idaho for the last four days.

What Stanford Thinks of sunol.

Especial to THE HERALD-Examlner Dispatch.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 15.-'Mr. Bonner is
right" said Senator Leland Stanford last
evening. "Sunol has trotted quarters as
low down as 20 seconds, and before the
coming summer closes will, under favor
able circumstances, trot mile in close to
2:06. And, by the way, my belief is that
that time will prove about the lowest limit
which any horse will ever be able to
achieve at the trot. Sunol is no longer
mine, therefore, I shall not lie under the
suspicion of rating her beyond her merits,
when 1 say 1 almost despair of being able
to breed another animal capable of such
extreme flights of speed. She has every
thing In her favor; conformation, amoi-
ton, gamenesS, stamina, nerve power, and
last but not least, brains, which in horse
parlancs means a level head. When in
New York few days since, Mr.. Bonner
and myself held a consultation as to Sunops
immediate disposition. We agreed that,
on the whole, it would be wise to give
Marvin chance to lower her record ard
then bring her to Mr.. Bonner's private
stable. The programme thus decided on
will be carried out, and in the early autumn
Mr.. Bonner will handle the reins over her
in person.
