Blacktoot celebrated Senator Du-
bois' victory by firing So guns-the
number of votes given him and by
grand display of ire works, bonfres
etc. Blackfoot has occasion to rejoice,

The recording angel will be kept
busy il he puts down all the good
resolutions and fair promises of the
Republican party in atonement for
the miserable failure of Its first
year in power, and in promising re-
form if the people will keep it in
power.
MIR. s. G. Fisher, of Ross Fork, is
the best vindicated man in the state.
Everybody knows him to be a true
and honorable man, hence the prompt
ness of his friends to hurl back, with
Indignation and scorn, the false
charges made against him by the asso-
ciated press reporter from Boise.
Rexburg Republican club at Its
first meeting declined to receive the
Mormons in membership. But since
Fenn's resolution was adopted
at Boise, it is said the club
receives it as a revelation and will

The man who places ashes on his
sidewalk on slippery day is better
Christian than the one who, while
putting ashes upon his head, laughs
at the antics of the man who has just
landed on his spine on the ice in

The reason Poet Burns did not in
clude women in his oft quoted dis
itch: "The best laid schemes of men
and mice etc. is that women and
mice are not on good term; they nev.
er get close enough together to lay
schemes. When the one enters the
room the other mounts stepladder
or The Center table and hsllose
'.Shoo."
The name Of Mr. B. n. Stevenson,
Of Pocatello, was unintentlonally
omitted from our report of the Leap
Year ball last week. We are sorry
because Mr. Stevenson is a general
favorite with Blacktoot ladies, and he
was at his best in his elegant fitting
Prince Albert and white neck tie and
hair cut la pompadour.
Fishermen on Henry's Lake have
a novel way Of fishing. They build
blanket 'shack" on the ice making
it dark within. They then cut hole
through the ice on the inside and one
on either side on the outside. The
light through the holes on the outside
enables them TO see the fish through
the inner hole and they can then drop
the bait among them. Some fisher
men have caught more than zoe
pounds in one day with hook and
line,
Postmaster K. E. Hopf, of ArrangeS
came out from his ranch in the ex'
treme northern part Of the county
Tuesday. His journey from the ranch
to Beaver Canon, the nearest railroad
station, was a thrilling one. His
daughter who was going East accom-
panied him. She was drawn on a
sled by parties wearing snow shoes
Owing TO the deep and wild waste Of
snow the party was overtaken by
night and had to lie out in the lavas
for II hours. Miss Hopf, little
heroine that she is, bravely bore tbs
cold and dangers of the trip and is
now on her way eastward to the com
forts of life and friends.
