Better work Tor Their Improvement Needed

The condition of the roads is a
potent factor in the business OF a
farmer. Bad roads may prevent the
advantageous marketing Of his crops
and cost him heavily in the breaking
down of stock and the wear and tear
upon his vehicles. Good roads all
the year would mean many dollars
in bis pocket.-St. Louis Post
Dispatch.
The country road in spring and
fall is u severer tax on the farmer

/ Caldwell, Nampa and other towns
up the Short line are self made towns.
They get in and make trade. With
but limited natural resources and
with several towns to compete for
the trade, it is hard push, but the
people are of stern metal and battle
increasingly and grasp every
opportunity offered and push it to
success, and the result is that they are
Hourishing wonderfully, considering
the surrounding conditions. Weiser
has treble the advantages in location
and resources that they have and
consequently should be trebly more
advanced. Natures handiwork has
been in our favor and placed north of
us one of the most beautiful and
productive sections in the whole
state and some of her richest mines
as our backing. Not content with
this she has piled up huge stockade
of hills and mountains on three sides
of this vast garden spot with the
outlet (by natural law through the
Weiser canyon at this point, to turn
the entire commerce into our gates.
As an additional favor she has placed
prolific body of land east and west
of us. Heretofore there has been a
laxity of effort to push our
opportunities, but now, we hope, the
, progressive idea is about TO strike
: US hard.

Humor of the Marriage Service.

Some funny stories are told about the
marriage service. One of them relates
how an old man, brought rather I'M
willingly to the altar, could not be in
duced to repeat the responses. ''My
good man." at length exclaimed the
clergyman, II really cannot marry you
unless you do as you are told" But the
man still remained silent. At this unex-
pected hitch the bride lost all patience
with her future spouse and burst out
with "Go on, you old fool Say il
after him just the same as if you was
mockin him."
The same difficulty occurred in an.
other case The clergyman, after ex-
planning what was necessary and going
over the responses several times without
the smallest effect, stopped In dismay,
whereupon the bridegroom encouraged
him with, $50 ahead, pars'n, go ahead
Thou'rt dom bravely."
Upon another occasion it was, strangely
enough, the woman who could not be
prevailed upon TO speak. When the
Clergyman demonstrated with her she

NEW YORK AUT0NOMISTS.

A Meeting of Red Birds, but It was
Comparatively QuIet-The Police on
Hand.
New YORK, August 1.-The Peukert
group of autonomlSts who preach
doctrine which they term Anarchy
socialism" met in this city this evening
TO discuss the Homestead affair.
About 300 people were present, some
Of whom had crowded into the hall
from curiosity.
The principal speaker was Miss EN-
ma Goldman, the intimate friend OF
Chairman Frick's would-be slayer,
Bergman.
The police were present, but were
not needed. The only literature dis
tributed were copies OF the Solidarity
the organ Of Anarchy Socialism.
Dyer D. Lum spoke first. He said:
I'VE don't meet here to sympathize with
anyone. We don't meet here to nsss
any resolutions OF coincidence with the
man In Pittsburg.
''He deliberately sacrificed his life and
the warning to the capitalist is that
when man gets so desperate and
makes up his mind to go out OF the
world, he decides to take a respectable
Christian with him to Introduce him to
ST. Peters gate.
"It has taught the worktngman that
when he goes out of the world TO take
some one with him.
There will be men who are prepared
to leave this world, and under existing
social circumstances they don't propose
to 60 alone.
81 stand here tonight to approve
Bergman'S act.
Dead silence followed the utteranceo Of
these closing words, and Joseph Peu
kert, the chief autonomist Of the group,
then addressed the gathering in Ger
man, denouncing capital and the press.
The reporters he called slavish hire
lings and parrots, and concluded by ex-
horting his followers to strike down the
tyranniCal capitalist.
Emma Goldman, Bergman's sweetheart,
next took the platform. She spoke OF the
imprisoned autonimist as THAT hero at
Pittsburg"
"Frick was not killed by the bullets
aimed at him" she said, but 1t is not all
over with him vet. There are 900 bullets
waiting for him.
Taking her hearers into her confidence
she remarked, "they threatened 10 arrest
me; let them~
With her face aglow and her left hand
wildly waving in the air the female au-
tonimist declared Il am prepared tomor-
row TO lay down my life for the working
m IN aud their cause"
