We have had 23 men presidents already and it seems to me eminently fitting that a woman should now be called to the position. As you ask me to suggest a candidate, take pleasure in naming Mary A. Livermore of Massachusetts. "There she stands" and am confident that she would govern this country as we'll as George Washington ever did, or ssany other man, As you are aware, some triiing constitutional difficulties are in the way, but I am speaking from the high plane of that which ought to be and will close my communication by quoting from great American author, Harriet Beecher Stowe, l. think 1t was, who said: sWhatever ought to be done can be done. ."-[ Frances E.

The Beaver Utonian Of Feby 9Th gives
them the following send off gratis.
The Sands & West, San Francisco
Variety Combine, gave genuine spide
performance last Tuesday evening. The
company consisted of four very weak
performers with weaker ability, except
in the way of skipping the town and
leaving their creditors in the soup. We
have yet to learn Of single bill the COM
bine paid. They run their ''jaw" for
everything. After the show on the eve-
ming named they left their effects, con.
sisting of two pairs of ragged pants and a
ragged coat as security for hall rent.
Joe says it don't pay for chile" On
Wednesday they left one of their men in
town strapped and started out on foot
for pastures (not more green for that
would be hard to fnd) lying towards
the west. They want to be watched by
the people and given . wide BERTH
They should be hauled in for obtaining
money under false pretenses, and failing
to pay it out on just indebtedness. Look
out for the humbugs. the frauds and the
swindlers,

The readers of the RECORD well know
all that has been said and done in Phoebe
about the extra ten per cent. tax, i'm
partially levied upon us by the State
Board of Assessors and Equalization,
but for the benefit OF those who have not
kept track Of the subject the following
facts are again brought forward.
Last November and December the
taxpayers of Lincoln county had their
financial calculations knocked crooked,
and a great many had to go and rein.
state their purses in order to meet this
extra tax. At the time, we printed the
following jot:
"The extra tax of ten per cent. levied
by the State Board of Equalization at
Carson met with general disapproval;
not to say vigorous kick. The citizens
should have paid it under protest and
then employed lawyer to test the con.
stitutionality of the act. The Board has
no doubt over.stepped its jurisdiction in
this matter and it would only take about
5000 to test the constitutionality of the
law and the action of the Board under
| it."
The next week we printed the follow.
ing facts under the heading, Extra Tax
Annulled. 1t related to the Idaho Su-
preme Court decision in the same matter
of taxation; date, Dec. IL.
IA decision in the case of the County
Commissioners of Bingham county,
idaho VS.. the State Board of Equaliza-
ton was handed down by the Supreme
Court to-day which annulled the action
of the Board and virtually declares all
their proceedings open to question, and
paves the way to numerous other suits
of the same character.
They beat it and why cannot we?
The next report was made when the
knowledge came to us that Hon. Geo. s.
Sawyer had started suit to test the le.
gal existence of the Board, and the con.
stitutionality of the act creatingit,as well
as the legality of their acts. At this
time we noted the injustice it would be
on our part to allow Mr.. Sawyer to fight
the battle alone, and then come forward
to reap the benefits to be derived by a
successful ultimatum.
Just as we were commencing to think
our efforts had all been in vain and our
writing had found no readers; one Of our
loyal citizens came to US, upheld the
RECORDS ideas to support Mr.. Sawyer in
his actions, and said II am ready to head
any list of that kind with twenty dollars
at any time" This gives us courage to
60 on rehearse the affair and ask who's
the next man?

As there seems to be considerable
doubt existing here as to just what diph
liberia is; whether this child, or that
child has it or not, and what causes the
disease, it appears to be our duty to ex.
plain.
The symptoms Of the simple variety
are 80 mild at hrst as to excite little
complaint, beyond little difficulty in
swallowing, or pain in the throat, burn.
ing skin, pains in the limbs, etc., and
it should be easily cured
Malignant diphtheria is ushered in
with severe fever, rigors, vomiting, or
purging, sudden great prostration and
restlessness, anxious countenance, ETC.,
which certainly point to some over.
whelming disease, under which the sys-
tenn is laboring. The skin is hot, the
face flushed, the throat sore and the mu-
cous membrane bright red; the tonsils
are swollen, and grey and white patches
of deposit appear on them, small at first,
but gradually enlarging, SO that one
patch energies into another, forming a
false membrane in the throat, rendering
swallowing and even breathing difficult
The main differences between diph.
liberia and Group are these. In diph.
liberia there is forewarning illness,
shivering and fever, with sore throat,
without the warning cough. The mem.
brane begins at the top of the throat and
extends downward. In Group there is
always hoarse metallic cough without
the previous illness; the disease is some.
times preceded by catarrhal symptoms
which extend upwards from the chest to
the upper part of the wind-pipe.
Diphtheria is caused from impure
air, imperfect drainage, living too near
manure deposits, slaughter houses, or
where animal substances are in state of
decomposition. 1t commonly occurs as
an epidemic. and solitary case may
prove centre for spreading the disease.
So far in Phoebe there have been only
two or three cases, but if different steps
are not taken to stop the spread, and a
vigorous step made to rectify the filthy
sanitary condition Of the town, we are
most apt to have an epidemic.

Death OF "Gussie" Werner.

We are panied that it has become our
duty to announce the untimely death of
our dear little friend, August Werner,
whose lips were sealed last Friday night
by that terrible destroyer and enemy of
children, diphtheria.
Cruel death, whose seeming aim is to
claim for its victim one who cannot we'll
be spared, made no exception in this in.
stance to the rule.
''Gussie' had not lived more than
eight years, but in that time he had
made a place in the hearts Of all who
knew him that no other seems qualified
to fill. We know that he was wisely
chosen and that Heaven is made brighter
by our loss; yet, we cannot but feel how
much better could have been spared
some one of less virtue; that
no more will the gentle love and
laughing little face gladden. the hearts of
his schoolmates; that those men both
rough and kind will look in vain for the
happy little boy they used to watch go
by; and that the father, mother and sis
ters are suffering untold grief from his
loss.
The funeral took place from the Cath
Ollie Church, at 2 P. M. Sunday and was
followed TO the Catholic buryipg ground,
where amid tears and weeping the re-
mains were inferred.
Oh death! your cruel iron grasp
Our little friend has moved;
You've rent ajar our friendly clasp,
And love so fully proved.
Yet death, to the, my words are said /.
Thy victims of this life
Will live again, when thou art dead,
Forgot, thy earthly strife.

We are bound to notice the marked
similarity that exists between the edi-

and that Of the Carson News. They
both had gentleman write them asking
their opinion as to ''the benefits of ad.

therefore point the similarity out to the
