B. Jeasaar, who two years ago exhlb-
tied 10 10, the dog-faced boy, in this
city, has made arrangements with Pro-
fessor J. S. Buck, the great Alaskan ex-
plorer and navigator, to exhibit in this
city the bones of an extinct monster
called the RhampLorhynchus. The
skeleton was discovered by professor
Buck in the Muir glacier at an altitude
of three hundred and fifty feet, frozen
in blue mud, barred by recent iceberg
slide. The frame is thirteen feet in
width the bones of each wing are nine
feet long and weigh seven hundred and
ninety-four pounds. The entire sksle-
ton weighs 1885 pounds. Portland Tel

Even in these days of Democratic vic

for. Everybody will be than kful that
anything bearing such name as (wsll.

put it in type again) has become extinct.
The maledictions of the job printer who
attempts to put that name on a half
sheet poster in forty-line plea, will be
loud and deep.

To Use Shoshone Falls.

Papers have been filed with the sec
retary of state for the Incorporation Of
Shoshone Falls Electric Power and Irri-
CATION company, of Chicago. The plan
Of the projectors is to utilize the water
power Of the water Of the falls of Snake
river for the irrigation of 5000, 600 acres
of government land located in that re-
gion. The capital stock ofthe new COM
pany will be $25,00O, 600. A quarter of
a million in money has already bean
raised as working capital, and inside
of thirty days ground will be broker for
the new plant, according to one of the
incorporators. Chicago men are inter-
ested in the undertaking. Fl. G. Baker,
president of the company, said: eve
propose to transfer the water power to a
Pelton wheel and thence to dynamos for
the generation Of electricity. This Will
be conveyed by wires to pumping sta
tions up and down the river and used
for forcing the waters through the arid
lands. The falls are 300 feet in heighth
and there is water supply Of 100000
horsepower. Wesalso use the electric-
ity for power other than that expended
in the pumping stations.n The officers
Of the company are II. C. Baker, Ogden,
Utah, president; J. B. Schmalz, secre-
tary and treasurer, and Nelson w. Per-
ry, consulting engineer and electrician.

Must Be Amended.

While in the main the Australian bal
lot system is good thing and all right,
there is at least one feature that works
an injustice and hardship. Under the
law as it now stands, any person
who is blind, or has lost his hands,
or the use of them, is deprived
of the right of franchise, no matter how
intelligent and well qualified he may be
otherwise. This is not only unjust but
cruel, and was doubtless an oversight on
I the part of the trainers of the law, and
one which calls loudly for remedy.
From different parts of the state we read
accounts of men, thus unfortunate, who
were not allowed to vote because they
could not mark their tick cts. These
men have sufficiently heavy cross to
bear at best. In the United States are
many who have been SO disabled while
defending the flag of freedom, and to
deprive them of the right to vote in the
land, the government of which they
fought to preserve, is simply barbarous.
In the Nevada law there is a clause
which provides that when man is ply
sically unable to make out his ticket he
may call on one of the election officers
to assist him, and Idaho Lawmakers
should see TO it that a similar provision
is made in our own law. The Nevada
law provides only for physical inability
mot mental-which is perfectly right.
In these days of free schools and oppor-
tunities any man who has not sufficient
pride, ambition and ability to learn to
read and write, will be better off to
have others make laws for his govern
ment than he would be if allowed to
make them himself, and if they con-
slider it hardship, it may serve as a
lash to influence them to see that their
offsprings at least have the advantage of
q common school education.

Gold at the Assay Office.

Thare was a sight at the assay Office
on Saturday afternoon good for sore
eyes. There was S35.000 liz gold bars
purchased by the government to be-
shipped to the Philadelphia mint be-
sides a large amount received for assay
that was not sold. The government
packages were done up in buckskin se-
cured by wire and taken to the express
office for shipment. The others were
in safe. This gold came from Eastern
Oregon and all over Idaho. Some of it
came from Shoshone county, Eastern
Oregon, Silver CITY, on the Snake river,
Boise county, and other points. Some
gold has been received from Neal dis
trict. 1t is unusual at this season of the
year to receive SO much in a week. The
usefulness of the assay off ice is being ap-
preciated and the people are beginning
to learn that they can get the full value
of gold there when they cannot do 30 of
speculators.-Id Democrat.

Thanksgiving.

Next Thursday will be the annual re-
turn of a holiday which is peculiarly
American. 1t is day which custom
has gradually advanced to the position
of the greatest festival day of the year.
Unlike the 4th of July, it is not an an
niversary of an historical event, and,
while it has a non-sectarian religious
air about it, unlike Christmas, it does
not commemorate any religious epoch,
change or beginning. 1t is simply a
spontaneous outgrowth; an inherent
sentiment among Americans, that it is
fitting to set aside one day in the year
for Thanksgiving and gladness for the
blessings bestowed upon us as a nation
and as individuals. 1t is day of all
others in which we should strive to
make others happy. The poor, whom
we have always with us, should be re-
membered. No one shonld 60 without
a feast on this day aud the prosperous
can find no more fitting means of ex-
pressing their thankfulness than by re-
mem bering in some substantial manner
their less fortunate neighbors.

Were GuIled Successfully.
The Electrical Review publishes the
following about a wonderful electric
spring." It was but plain mineral
spring, but the cups that the patients
drank from were fastened by brass
chain to an iron bar which inclosed the
mouth of the bubbling spring. You
were prevented from coming too close
by another circular iron railing about
eight feet across. The ground around the
spring was naturally moist, and it was
either this ground or the iron which was
one of the ends of an open electrical cir
cult The cup held by the chain was
the other end. The person drinking
simply completed the circuit through
the body, and when he had finished the
attendant kindly and Immediately re-
moved the cup from his hand. The
drinkers always felt that delightful
tingling sensation" and rejoiced that
they had found the fountain of youth.
Some imagined they even felt the new
blood coursing through their veins. A
small induction coil ingeniously con-
cealedand connected with the cup and
railing was a cheap method for produc-
ing that ''invigorating feeling.

Heavy is the Head That Wears the
Crown"

The edict has gone. forth and by
round majority the people have choser
a Democratic administration. There il
responsibility resting upon that ad.
/ ministration we'll calculated to make the
Chief Executive and his advisors very
thoughtful and cautious. Never since
| Lincoln first took his seat has there
been time when President has en-
tered upon the discharge of the duties ol
his high Office under more perpIexing
conditions than viii surround Mr.Cleye-
| land on the 4th of March.
That there is deep under current of
dissatisfaction in the land was fully
demonstrated by the talIy-sheets on the
Sth inst. The Republicans fought the
late battle OH the ground that the coun-
try was very prosperous under their
rule and policy, and proposed no ma
terial change should Mr.. Harrison sue
ceed himself. The Democracy have
charged that much corruption exists !;
that bad and dangerous laws have been
enacted, and their leaders and orators
have been profuse in promises that, if
placed in power, their party would make
great changes for the better and the
wrongs of their opponents would be
righted. The Mckinley law was the
shining target for their lances, and the
now dominant party is ommitted eth
er to its repeal or great modification.
Much is expected. Much has been
promised The people will look for
change for the better as a result of their
choice, and the question now is, "has
more been promised than can be ac-
eomplished ?u
In short time the Democracy will
have full control of the reins of govern
ment, with none TO oppose, and they
will be compelled to squarely face the
results of their acts. The land is broad,
with interests so diversified and con-
fiicting, that no statesman or body of
statesmen, be they never SO eonscien-
tious and wise, can possibly enact laws

hoped for is to accomplish the greatest
good for the greatest number, and
should the proposed changes in finance,
tariff and other important matters,
which at best will be largely exper-
mental. prove unsuccessful, then politi-
cal disaster and ruin await the authors.
The responsibility resting upon the
newly elected servants may we'll cause
them to be serious. The people hope
for good results. If their hope is real

Chinese Hospital Patients.

1t takes q much larger dose oil
chloroform to anaestetize the China
man; he passes under the influence
more slowly, and rarely shows the ex-
element often characteristic of the
initial stage OF anaesthesia. Stillmore
rarely does he suffer from sickness on
his return to consciousness. The
greater apathy OF nature helps to re-
covery from severe accidents and
operations. For example: On Nov.

Ng A. 500 fell from thereof of four

seventy feet. Her skull was fractured
in several places, and the right parietal

Salt as a Fertilizer.

Conflicting statements OF the agri-
cultural value OF salt when applied to
the soil appear 80 frequently that the
average farmer may well be excused
for neglecting 1t for this purpose alto
gether. Some farmers have found it
valuable, while Others have received
little or no benefit from it or regard
it as hurtful, 80 that it is seldom used
as a practical fertilizer.
So far az it's action is beneficial 20
plants it appears to be by indirection.
Thus in some cases it has the effect OF
dissolving matters already existing in
the soil and making them available
as plant food. when IL they were suf-
ficiently soluble without it, it's appli-
cation would be useless. II applied in
quantities sufficiently large to kill in
sects in the soil it will be injurious to
vegetation. Some plants, however,
resist its injurious effects far better
than others. With many people salt
was once thought indispensable for O
good asparagus bed. but it is now
moro commonly believed thot it's
beneficial effect consists chiefly in
killing the weeds. There are soils,
however, whose fertility seems in.
creased by moderate applications.

A Foolhardy Girl.

A quite thrilling incident occurred
on the straight stretch of line OF the
New York and e. New Jersey railroad
between Woodbridge and Carlstadt
Sunday afternoon. As passenger
train was proceeding at full speed a
16-year-old girl left her half-dozen
companions in the roadway that runs
near the track and stepped quickly in
front OF the locomotive, which was
not more than three hundred feet
away.
She was laughing defiantly, facing
the locomotive, standing squarely be.
tween the rails, and the engineer
knew that she was bent upon
mischief and not upon suicide. He
made the passengers jump on their
seats with the blood-curdling whistle
that he sent out OF his engine, but the
girl between the rails snapped her
fingers and danced derisively.
The engineer had to stop the train
or run over her. OF the two evils he
chose the one he supposed to be the
lesser. His fireman did not agree
with him but there was no time to
argue the point. When the locomo-
tive was brought to q standstill it's
pilot was hardly five feet from the
girls skirts. ~ told them you'd
