The Farmer and Politics.

The prosperity of farmer today
depends more on the methods he
employs than on governmental
rule. Take seeds for an example :
Many farmers who are alive to their
own interests in other things are
careless in buying seeds. They seem
to think that a seed is a seed and
there it ends. If there was more
knowledge about eeeds and greater
care exercised in their selection,
there would he richer crops and
better returns.
Realizing this, D. NJ. Ferry q Co.,
the famous seed firm of Detroit,
Mich, have embodied in their Illus
trated Annual for 1893, much val
liable information about seeds and
their selection. It contains the
knowledge cleaned from many years
practical experience in the seed
business, and the newest and best
things about gardens and garden
ing. Such a book issued by a firm
of nnquestioned reliability is Of tbs
highest value to every one ho
plants a seed. Although the (st Of

beautiful illustrations bal been

battle ont if takes all winter. He
asked the Supreme Court for an
alternate writ Of mandate to COM
T. a. state board of canvassers to
count the vote Of J. w. Kennedy a.
senator from Kootenai county.
Tho matter came up before the
Court on Wednesday. The case is
brought to test as to which of the
two legislative apportionments, the
governors or the constitutional, is
the legal one. A majority of the
canvassing board decided in favor
of the constitutional apportion-
ment, and by this act unseated
three populist senators and three
populists representatives, and three
democratic representatives. Should
the Supreme Court decide that the
governors proclamation is legal
the democrats and populists would
control both branches of the legis-
lature, and the populists would
have seven hold-over senators. The
U. S. Senator to be elected in two
years is the stake over which the
fight is being made.

ers, whose wonderful vocal musical
talent was SO largely and nobly
used in the anti-slavery and other
great moral reform causes, prior to
and during the civil war. Where
ever this remarkable family, con-
sisting Of three brothers and one
sister-"Asa, John, Jesse and
Abby, from the old Granite State
were heard in America and Eng
land, they called out such enthu-
siastic admiration by the glorious
harmony, melody and moral depth
of their singing, that it amounted
to nothing less than religious
ferver in their enraptured hearers.
No such religious quality of effect
upon audiences of all degrees and
kinds was probably ever produced
in the two countries, except by
Jenny Lind. The occasion that
calls out this reference to the chap
ter of American history filled BY,
this noble New England family of
singers, is the receiving by one of
our townsmen, Mr.. James Judge,
of marked copy Of a paper Civ

Convict Hatton Climbs Up the
"0olden Stairs"

Friday morning of last week
Samuel Hatton, convict in the
state pen at Boise, was stabbed
and almost instantly killed by
Turnkey French of that institution,
in self defense. Hatton tackled the
Turnkey when he left the cell after
delivering his breakfast, and being
a large powerful man would have
done the turnkey up, but for the
timely appliance of his knife to the
side Of Hatton and the letting in of
a little daylight. Hatton has been
a hard character for years, and was
tried for the murder of Morris, a
HALEY business man, who was
killed between Ketchum and Hal
ley one night in 1888. While he
was acquitted of this crime, it was
the prevailing opinion that he was
guilty. Hatton was afterwards
sent up for IA years for robbing
till at Shoshone.

At Lapwai.

The Lewiston Teller of the 18th
says "the Indian Commission is
still in session at the Lapwai agency.
The latest reports, though more
favorable, do not indicate that the
negotiation is nearly at a close. The
Indians have been considering all
week the proposition given them
last Thursday. In brief that propo-
sition was an offer of about 81 ,5OO,-
OG6 for their lands. This is to be
made in payments, the first of
which is to be. cash down on the
conclusion and agreement to the
treaty. The cash payment will
amount to nearly $500, 900, or about
$3.50 each for every man, woman
and child on the reservation. The
other payments are to be made an
nually in sums of about 500, 600
each, and the whole is to be paid in
ten years from the date of treaty.
1.-THE Indians are represented in
the conference by twelve of their
richest and most influential men.
These men having large herds of
stock OF the reservation, and being
in no need Of money, are 10th to
give up their pastures to the gov
eminent. The poorer Indians, how
ever, have desire to sell for they
need the cash to improve their
lands. There seems to be dispo- |
sition among the council during tho
past few days to be generous and
allow the poor Indians q chance.
One or two of its members have so
expressed themselves in the con-
ference. A report has just been
brought in to the effect that Agent
Robbins has dispatched messen-
gen to Kamia to bring that portion
of the tribe to headquarters. This
seems to indicate that q conclusion
Of some kind was approaching and
every body is hopeful that it will be
a favorable one.
1.-THE actual acreage left after the
allotment is 100000. This includes
some of the finest portions of the
reserve and its opening will prove
of inestimable value to this locality.
The total number of Indians receiv-
ing allotment is 1901. Each Indian
will have $1,000 in cash when the
money is paid and 100 acres Of
choice land. No community OF
white men in the United States can
boast Of such wealth."

This is Jim Judges place, which
is sufficient guarantee as his name
is a synonym of all that is good to
drink. Here you can talk over old
