her exhibit, and oil this time Utah
was wondering II it would not make
matters worse.
Their small exhibit was passed by
unnoticed, while visitors stopped to
admire Idaho. AT last the contrast
got to be so exasperating to the Utah
people that one night their exhibit
was taken from the hall, and next
morning there was nothing but the
empty space. The space was soon
divided between Idaho and WASH
,ngton, and Utah was never missed.
Do the people Of Idaho realize what
the horticultural exhibit alone means
for the Statep Already thousands Of
visitors who never before heard of
Idaho are making inquiries about our
State. They ask for reading matter,
books, pamphlets, State papers, any
thing that will tell them more about
Idaho. All this means an increased
emigration to Idaho, and the small
sum that the exhibit has cost will
more than be paid back within . year
or two by the new settlers.

satiate. She included number of her
husbands in her sacrifcial mania.
Such an impulse would seem
incredible to properly organized
person, but her narratives were aup-
ported by abundant oonfrmatory evil
dence. She had malign lust to
murder.
The writer saw Mrs. Grinder hung.
She had very abundant hair, which was
cut short to admit OF the adjustment of
the rope. Nobody seemed to make a
demand for her body, and Pittsburg
undertaking firm named Devore & Co.
got possession OF her remains on some
ground that the writer does not recall.
He happened to return to the Smoky
City from California in 1874 and heard
very singular circumstance discussed,
which proved on investigation to be
true. Her body lay in the cellar of this
undertaking firm, which evidently had
penchant for curios, and they began to
notice that her hair started to grow very
luxuriantly. Within this four years it
had attained length of sixteen feet.
What became of this interesting corpse
we have not learned.
Here was woman of Saxon blood.
Her very name would have fitted in
with Gurth the Thrall in Sir Walter
Scott's novel of Ivanhoe. Poisoning
has been supposed to be crime that
the Saxon race rarely commits, and this
is true. But here was woman who had
no suggestion of Borgia blood who. by
her own confession, had poisoned thirty
three people simply from delight to
goat over the corpses of her victims.
1t was probably the most remarkable
case in the annals of crime. In almost
every clse she employed arsenic. Her
devilish ingenuity was something extra
ordinary. There had never been any
judicial investigation of any of these
poisonings except OF the last.

estly thought that his nomination
would be injudicious. A great many
Democrats who would really have pre-
ferred Cleveland to any other candidate
thought this, and they were quick to
recognize their error. While Mr.. Cleve-
land viii undoubtedly give the people a
sterling Democratic administration,
there is great room for doubt as to
whether he will encourage the policy of
sweeping removals. Just here is a point
as to which there will be great deal OF
interested curiosity. The fret few
months OF the new administration will
set the pace which will govern for the
next four years, and nobody knows ex-
actly what it will be. We have not
heard much of civil service reform
lately, and the extent to which it will
figure is matter of absorbing interest
to place hunters.

Amendments of the Bauot Law


EDITORS HERALD: Enclosed please
find some provisions which if the law
regarding the form of the ballot and
mode of voting it was amended by in
cooperating these provisions into the law
they would in my judgment enable the
voter to prepare his ballot in less time
and with greater accuracy, and consume
much less time in counting them by the
officers after the polls are closed. Ii
upon examination of them you should
agee with me that the present law re-
specting ballots and voting would be
improved by amending it and incorpor-
ating into it the enclosed changes, l
hope you will make such efforts to have
the law changed as your judgment shall
dictate. j. WARNER.
These are the proposed amendments: :
Each voter to be furnished with three
ballots, a national, state and county bal
lot, the names of the ballots to be
printed on them near the top or upper
edge. On the national ballot there
shall be printed the names of the can
didates for members of congress, and
those of presidential electors when such
are to be chosen.
On the state ballot there shall be
printed the names of the candidates for
the state offices which are to be filed,
and the names of the candidates for the
senate and assembly for which the voter
has right to vote.
On the county ballot shall be printed
the names of the candidates for the
county, district, and township Offices for
which the voter may vote.
Each precinct must have three ballot
boxes, to be labeled national, county and
state, respectively. When he has received
and prepared his ballot by stamping it,
the ballot must be folded 30 that the
name of the ballot, and only that name,
shall appear on the outside of the bal
lot.
The inspector upon receiving the bal
lot shall deposit each in the ballot
box corresponding to the name of the
ballot.

Hon. MAX PoPPER, the chairman of
the Democratic state central committee,
is paying Los angeles visit. This
genial and popular gentleman may well
take look at the state which he did go
much to redeem from long Republican
dominance. During the late campaign
Mr.. Pepper demonstrated very clearly
the fact that he is an organizer OF unsur.
passed skill and resources. 1t is not too
much to say that with a less expert
enced leader the state might have been
lost to the Democracy. He will remain
with US for weak or more, and during
his stay in this end of the state he will
visit San Diego and adjoining counties.
He was the author of the idea of the
Democratic Auxiliary committee, and he
believes that that organization ought to
be expanded and perpetuated.

We PUBLISH elsewhere a communica-
tion from San Bernardino cores pond-
ent, who states quite trenchantly his
objections to the new county of River
side. This journal always aims to be
fair. 1t bad to submit to the dismem-
berment of Los Angeles county when
the county of Orange was carved out OF
US. We do not advocate the creation of
new counties. 1t simply appears to us
inevitable. The population OF this sec.
tion is increasing at such rapid rate
that these new public corporations are
bound to be created. 1t therefore seems
to US to be case of kicking against the
pricks to attempt to stem the tor
rent. In the case of the plan to create
Riverside county it would appear
to us that the movement has irresistible
strength. There are very experienced
representatives OF the measure st Sacra-
mento, and it looks to US like winning
cause. We merely write OF the situa-
tlon as it reaches US. Even when the
change is effected, if our opinion shall
be confirmed by the event, San Ber-
nardino will be an imperial region with
q territorial area which will be ex-
ceeded by only one other county in the
United States, and to get companion
picture we will be obliged to go to the

Mrs. Yesler's Hearing Begun-The Pol
son Theory Advanced.
SEATTLE, Wash, Feb. 1.-The hearing
of Mrs. Minnie Yesler on the charge of
conspiring with DR.. J. Eugene Jordan
and DR.. II. Martin Van Buren, to destroy
the last will of her husband, the late
pioneer millionaire, H. L. Yesler, be-
gan before Justice Humphrey today.
The hearing OF all three of the accused
was set for the same time, but Jordan
and Van Buren, waived hearing and gave
bail for trial in the superior court; each
was held in $4,000 bail on two charges,
forgery and conspiracy.
Fred H. Peterson, attorney for the
first witness, said that early in Novem-
ber Mrs. Yesler came and asked him to
go to Yesler and ask him to settle some
OF his property on her. He called on
Yesler, who said he had already ar
ranged his property affairs; had made a
will, and in it his wife was well pro-
vided for. Peterson remarked that wills
were very uncertain things, and that it
would be better to settle certain prop
erty on her without making q will.
Yeeler replidd:
"I'll be id if will do it,"
s. l.. Crawford told of meeting Yesler
few months after the great fire of 1889
Yesler took a paper out of his pocket,
folded it and gave Crawford one passage
to read, which bequesthed his residence
and the block on which it stands to the
city. He then tore the will to pieces
and threw it in the street. He had q
habit of procrastinaiion about his affairs
that made it probable he never made a
new will.
The hearing was continued till this
morning. The crowd in the court room
WAS very large. Great interest was
taken. as it has been openly asserted
that Yeeler wac poisoned.

VAGARIgS OF CRIME.

The case of Bentley, who is accused
of poisoning his wife, is in some re.
spects peculiar. On the surface he
married an old lady for her money and
is now under the grave allegation of
having got her out Of the way. There
would scarcely appear to be sufi-
ciently developed motive on Bentley's
part, but at the same time expert testi-
mony clearly discloses the presence of
poison in the body of the deceased.
Poisonings have been supposed to
belong to the middle ages, and Italy has
been selected as the theater of these
vagaries. The Lucrezia Borgias have
by no means been confined to that
classic land. Perhaps one of the most
memorable cases OF clear brutality was
in the case Of the celebrated Mrs.
Grinder, who was executed at Pitts
burg in 1870.
This woman made confession befor Q

admitted that she had poisoned thirty
three men, and gave the details of her
nefarious exploits. In the first case

In the construction of submarine ca

is far behind England, which leads the
world. At this time an American COM
pany is laying cable from Peru to Cen
trail America, which was made in Eng
land. At this time two great steamships
for a new line between America and
Australasia are on the stocks in an Eng
lish shipyard. The English made the
new deep sea cable between South Amer
lea and Africa. We recently bought our
best two Atlantic steamships in Eng
land. 1t is England that owns the most
of the Atlantic cables and owns large
proportion of the Atlantic steamships.
By her cable lines on the beds of the
worlds seas and her commercial marine
on these seas the power and the wealth
of England are immensely increased.

the time, but England never sleeps
