An accident occurred on the Great
Northern recently In which both Of
the, construction engines and six OF
seven cars left the rails. One man had
his back broken, another had a leg
broken and another was seriously
crushed about the ribs. Particulars are
hard to get owing to the rigid silence
maintained at the headquarters of the
works. Many think the worst is
yet to be told. The bridge company's
surgeon, DR.. Dutton, was hurried to
the scene of the disaster, but az no one

ulars cannot be obtained.
Ex-Secretary Bayard has addressed
an open letter to the Democrats. in
winch he takes an anti-free coinage of
silver stand. In the letter he "deplores
the false position of the government in
1878 in entering the market as the
purchaser of silver bullion and forcing
Its coinage into money!" it is thankful
such grave errors can not lie laid ut the
door OF the Democratic party; expresses
the belief that Democrats in taking
free silver are Clothing the party with
diseased and fatal garments and i'm
peding Its march to power and use
fulness by ball and chain of suicidal

Nampa is getting to the front in
great shape. The Union Pacific is
going to erect $4,000 depot. The
agricultural experimental station has
been located there, which will doubt
less be a good thing for Nampa in the
future. The machinery for an electric
light plant has arrived and the build
ing is soon to he erected. The Fpisco-
pal school for boys and young men is
also located at Nampa. A car load of
Chicago's wealthy men were at Nampa
a few days ago looking for a place to
invest their money. The wrailroad
to Silver City is to be pushed this sum-
mer. Nampa is one of those live, bust
ling towns that will grow and move on
in spite of any or all of its environ
ments. 1t allows no opportunity to
pass wherebyit can benefit itself. The
future of Nampa is assured, because it
has a live, energetic class of business
men whose watch word is Forward

w. P. Collins, the Northern Pacific
agent at Granite, disappeared Sunday
and no clue to his whereabouts has yet
been learned. The safe is locked and
cannot Ike opened without the aid of an
expert, so it is not known how his ac-
counts stands with the company. Col
Inns has been in the employ of the
Northern Pacific ut Granite overs year
and enjoyed the confidence of every
body. AS he had the only safe in the
town it is thought he may have had
considerable money entrusted to his
care, but the company cannot loose
anything, as the American bond COM
pany are his sureties. 1t is thought by
some that he has committed suicide, as
he has been sick and respondent of
late The general opinion is that he
has taken what money was in his pos
session and has sought more con-
genial climate. A special agent of the
company has arrived to take charge of
the station and straighten matters out.
The state fair committee appointed at
the mass meeting on Wednesday even
ing, held an important meeting yester-
day morning. 1t was agreed that de-
termined effort should he made to Or
vanize a fair association, which should
be incorporated under the general in
CORPORATION law of the state. The capt.
tai stock of the association was fixed at

Nathan Falk, one of the prime
movers of the enterprise, said yesterday
that he felt sure nearly every one OF
the 5000 shases could be sold in Boise,
