An Infallible Rule.

| A group of men were standing OF
q street corner in Ketchum one day
this week earnestly discussing tn,
character and peculiarities of {
stranger whose tout ensemble at
tracted attention.
Strange man." remarked one O
the group.
"Very," chimed in second, "and
to tell the truth, about as bad as he
is strange, in my opinion.
II think so, too," asserted a third
IF he amt the d lest rascal in
town then I've missed my guess.
Thus they one and all gave vent
to their suspicious, and opinions
until another party joined the group
who had hitherto been, apparently,
an Indifferent listener.
Gentlemen" he began, in tone
of the shrewdest philosophy, II do
not know the individual you are
discussing-never saw him before
in my life-but I can give you a
rule, an infallible one, for the solu-
ton of mans character for integ-
rity. By it you can always tell an
honest man with the greatest GER
tainty. Once you are in possession
of my rule you can put all doubts
aside and speak of the personal
honesty of an entire stranger with
even more confidence than you can
now of a lifelong acquaintance"
"What is it? What is your ruler
chorused dozen voices.
"It is my own discovery, and is
as reliable as an almanac" contin-
ued the speaker, "as I know by
years of demonstration"
"Well, we do not question the
value of your rule, but you have
not told US what it is"
"What is your ruler" demanded
his now thoroughly interested vic
Tins.
Gentlemen" he proceeded, with
out seeming to notice their suspense,
II warrant it to be safe guide, per-
fectly safe %
"But we want the rule, and not
your experience with it, that we may
judge of its value for ourselves"
"Well, gentlemen" he observed
as he moved off, "the palm of an
honest mans hand-a strictly hon.
est man Sis covered with hair, and
the honester the man the longer
the hair"
The party of investigators looked
at each other, then at the retreat
ing philosopher, glanced slyly at
the palms of their hands, and then
sauntered into a neighboring sa-
loon to sample new brand of ir-
rigating fluid.

AN association of American wo-
men has been formed for the pur-
pose of purchasing a duplicate of
Houdon's famous statue of Wash
ington and presenting it to the
French republic, and Mrs. w. H.
Greenhow has been chosen assist
ant to canvass Ketchum for the
association, and is now actively en-
gagged in the work. Remembering
the aid this country received from
France in achieving her indepen-
dence, and in view of subsequent
relations between the two countries,
it seems peculiarly fitting that this
presentation should be made. Be-
sides, Americans should take a
special pride in having the statue
of their first citizen and greatest
warrior erected and honored in a
foreign land. We trust, therefore,
that Mrs. Greenhow's appeals to
our people will meet with gener-
Gus response all round; and that
she may have the satisfaction of
making such report from Ketch-
UNI as shall do credit to her efforts
and to the proverbial liberality of
our people. Only 25 cents will be
asked from any single individual,
but as much more will be received
of course as the person feels able
to give.

But the Statesman is driven to its last
resort, and, in effect, threatens that if
this I'm palatable criticism is not stopped
the courts will be appealed to and the
law of criminal libel applied.-Malad
Enterprise.
Pinkham intimated sometime ago
that he might be driven to put us
behind the bars, but we have not
lost any sleep on account of it yet
nor need the Enterprise do so.
Strong as our officials are in their
own conceit, we do not believe they
have power to muzzle the press, be-
cause they must be seconded by
the people to do that.

If it would not be too much
trouble the public out this way
would like to have an itemized ac-
count of the expenditures made in
searching for the three convicts who
escaped some time ago, stating to
whom the money SO expended was
paid, for what service, &c. 1t is a
very unusual manifestation of in
terest for an encouragement to
put in four days in the saddle look
ing for escaped prisoners besides
the act implies a distrust on the
part of that officer, of the ability,
or of the willingness of the sher-
ifs, marshals and constables of the
state to perform such duties. More
over, to make the encouragement
of the state mere manhunter is an
unwarrantable degradation of his
high office-one not contemplated
by law. To say the least, that affair
has all exceedingly farcical look.

A FEW days ago the body of John
Andrews, known as "Dutch john y
was found. Andrews was murdered
about the 28th Of September last,
by cowboy called "Tex," who is
now under arrest for the crime.
Dutch John, and we believe "Tex"
also, was indicted last fall or winter
for cattle stealing, but was acquitted
and it is believed that the trial of
"Tex" will develop the fact that this
murder was procured by men in
good social and business standing,
because he knew too much. An
drews was killed near Pocatello.

LEAD is selling lower than before

LEAD is selling lower than before
the enactment of the Mckinley law
Why? Simply because production
is outrunning consumption. We
cannot mine silver without mining
lead, nor can we keep the price Of
lead up by any law that men can
enact until we have devised means
of keeping consumption ahead Of
production. This is so obvious that
even people who want something
legislated out Of others pockets into
their own should be able to see it.

In Berlin, Germany, a few days
ago preacher shut a poor little
orphan child up in bath room and
left it there over night. 1t was fro
zen to death when morning came.
In Ireland about the same time, a
priest knocked little boys eye
out with black thorn club because
he hurrahed for the Parnellites. 1t
is astonishing with what accuracy
such fellows copy the life and char
acteristics of Jesus!

THE Statesman had misapplied
article on the coyote press one day
recently. The coyote press, Mr..
Statesman, is the press that is afraid
to speak out in behalf of a decent
public service, and not the press
that assails and condemns the
wrong doings. The coyote skulks
in the shadows and lunches on the
offal after the Drawer mastiff has
run the game to earth and dis
patched it. The Statesman should
be more careful in making its ap-

The Ceur d'Alene Miner says
"The Statesman is the recognized
organ of the most corrupt ring that
ever infested any state, owing its
existence and maintenance largely
to the Vaccinations of Fred T.
Dubois" "The severe disciplining'
being administered to the republi-
can press does not seem to have
subdued the Miners propensity to
speak out in meeting. What is to be
done with these refractory organs?

porous season this winter than the
little camp city has experienced fol
several years. A. ]. Crook, mana
ger of the C. M. & S. Co.'s mines, is
having a road built from the Sky
lark to connect with the wagon road
at the terminus Of the pack-trail, so
that he may ship ore all winter by
sleighs. Mr.. Crook intends to en-
ploy about 80 men at the Skylark,
the present force being IS.
The inexhaustible Ramshorn will
employ a larger force this winter
than it has for several years. There
are two Post Boy tunnels under
contract now that will work about
20 men all winter. The Silver Brick
will keep a force of 8 or more.
Besides the above mines there
will be considerable lease work
done. In all, we think it will be
safe to estimate that there will be
at least 100 men employed. There
will be no "draughts" made much
before Christmas, so the mines will
be worked with reduced forces only
three months.
Last week the smelter "blowed"
out, and 80 employees were released
to seek work elsewhere.
Under the management of Miss
Addie Rippey, our public school
teacher, and Mrs. H. D. Jaquish,
our esteemed Sunday school super
intendent, the people of Bayhorse
were treated to one of the most en-
joyable and successful exhibitions
ever witnessed here. The proceeds
of the evening are to be used for
the purchasing of an organ for the
Sunday school. Miss Rippey taught
our public school last winter and
she was also superintendent of pub
lie schools for Custer county last
year. Mrs. Jaquish is the wife of our
old-time and esteemed merchant,

Pocatello will be one of the leading
mining towns in the state. Our old
and esteemed townsman, Felix Van
Reuth, is still there, keeping a lodg-
ing house and making money like
dirt. Pocatello people are noted
for thrift and push, and having the
advantage of location equally we'll
adapted to mining, farming and
grazing should, as it doubtless will
do, become one of the foremost
towns in Southern Idaho.

A Successful Hunt.

E. v. and D. F. Wells and Emil
Grangean, who went out to the Cape
Horn and Salmon river country
about a month ago on hunting
excursion, returned last Saturday,
bringing with them not few tro-
phies of. the chase, notwithstand-
ing they had the bad luck to lose
their horses, and spent sixteen days
in hunting them up. They also
lost valuable hunting dog. The
animal was chasing a mountain
goat over the frozen snow and his
feet slipping he fell over a preci-
pice 500 feet high, and his hunting
days were over. About twelve days
were devoted to hunting, and three
grizzly bears, six deer, one elk, four
mountain goats, one swan and large
numbers of ducks, geese, partridges,
grouse and other small game, too
numerous to mention, we're killed.
Also a lot of beavers, foxes, musk
rats and wolverines, and fish caught
in abundance. The boys further re-
port having killed, dressed, cooked
and eaten a rabbit in just II min

of the hunters hanging up at Mr..

have now gone down to Silver creek
to Stay wild geese for a couple of
weeks, and if they are as lucky as
they were on their Cape Horn ex-
cursion, goose flesh will be cheap
in Ketchum when they return.
