And hung with fair caparison.
And make to Banbury my way
Ere monk hath made his orison.
To see my lady ride apace
Upon jennet black and fleet,
And note the wonder of her face,
And kiss the marvel of her feet.
And when come the nymph anigh,.
Hinged hands and bell-hung feet of her
Respond In mutual symphony,

And should one tinkling amulet
From off her broidered robe be rent,

The voice severe OF Fate.

Above the man who dies, the soul shall live

a third, that of Dante Rossetti, which

THE CAMPAIGN OF SCANDAL
Is a Vulgar Insult to Public
Intelligence
And a Degradation of the
Press,

1t is shame the way some of the
newspapers are conducting the politi |
cal campaign. The vile epithets
hurled at many candidates for high |
and responsible puplic positions tend
to lower the plane of journalism and
assist, rather than injure, the chances
of those so grossly attacked. 1t ap-
pears to be the office of some men to
attempt to tear down the good names
of men, rather than to show the finer
qualities of their own candidates. Is
it not time that honor be recognized
in politics, and for the great political
parties to stand upon their merits as
parties? Are the voters to always be
taken for chumps-incapable of
reason or recognizing that which is
just and right? Advocates of any
party or principle should meet their
opponents in respectable and honest
debate. The reasons why voters
should recognize certain principles
and vote for men pledged to carry
them out should be fully set forth.
If reason, the only lever that should
ever be used, fails to convince, then
it is time for the party advancing
some theories to die and give place
to something better. Certainly such
a change could not be for the worse.
If politics is really the rotten poo
that some of the editors claim they
are, their journals ought not to b'
lowered by meddling with them

BELLEVUE, Ida, Sept. 26-Ycster-
day, at Samuel Wilson's ranch, on
Willow creek, Logan county, 20 miles
from Bellevue, John Dacy was shot
and probably fatally wounded by
Thomas Brooks, the bullet entering
the naval and coming out near the
backbone. The wounded man was
brought in to the Alturas hotel,
HALEY, where he now lies in a
precarious condition.
1t is alleged Dacy is an unruly
character. He met Brooks al
Wilson's ranch, whom he charged
with running his Oacy's) horses
Brooks repudiated the charge ano
called Dacy vile name when Dacl
struck him. This so enraget
Brooks that he pulled his gun ant
fred with the above result. Brooks
is now lodged in Jail at Bellevue.

THAT RED TAPE OF SAMSl
Causes James Walker to
Shake His Head.
Gabriel Gives Things All
Away.

The weather is once more cleared
up and people are again busy thresh-
ing
G. M. Moser, one of Councils
leading hotel proprietors, has been in
town few days laying in supplies.
James Walker, of Crane Creek, one
of the firm of Walker Bros, mill
men, came to Salubria last Saturday
to find out about what to do with his
application to cut timber for mill
purposes. Early last spring, about
seven months ago, Mr. Walker made
application for permit, and now at
this late date the department at Wash
.ington writes him to cut down the
boundaries and not to cut more than
80 per cent. of the timber, provided
he ever gets permit, which is uncer-
tain. Mr.. Walker says she is not
able to read and write as huently as
some, but he thinks this is hell of
government, and in this respect he
is not alone by long ways. This
red tape business would all be at an
end if Bellamy could be at the head.
Many officers nominated on the re-
cent democratic ticket will be hard tc
beat in election.
Next Saturday will open up new
page in the history of the republican
party in Washington county.
Many of Weiser's solid democrat
were in Salubria last Saturday in con

Ghasty Evidences Of IA Horrible Crime Found
Near Pierce City.

Payette, Sept. 26.-John T.
Burgess, who has just arrived here
from the mountains about 30 miles
below Pierce City says that the dead
body of man was found in the
remains of hut up there about two
weeks ago. The body was terribly
decomposed and unrecognizable.
His head had been crushed as if with
club or some blunt instrument.
The body was dressed in grey
tweed suit and had evidently been
lying when found some weeks. There
is little question but that he was
murdered but for what purpose o.
by whom no one knows.

New Machinery.

j. w. Miles has put into his foundry and
machine shop this week several new and ex-
pensive machines as follows: A drill costing
1915; shaper costing S475; IL foot lathe
costing $3.50; 16 foot lathe costing S475;
and key seating machine costing 500.
This machinery was purchased of f. A.
Kinsey, of Cincinnati. Ohio, and makes an
addition to the shop of Mr.. Miles that will
enable him to turn out much more work
and with greater rapidity-a fact which will
please everyone who has work in this line to
be done. Eight men are now employed and
the force will be enlarged as fast as the de-
mand requires. Mr.. Miles says his work Is
always more than he can keep up with, COM
ing from a territory of % miles in all direc-
tons from Owoss0.
