THE WEISER SIGNAL.
THURSDAY. JULY 10, 1893.
THE FAT MANS CORNER.

That well known veteran Idaho
journalist, j. W. Lamoreaux, has
launched the Fremont County News
at St. Anthony, the county seat of
the new county. The first issue of
the News comes to us laden with good
news and glorious promise for the
future of the fat land of Ereemont.
Gazing into the future we see the
trim barque of Fremont county, with
generous cargo, floating smoothly
on the crest of the wave in the gor-
geous western sea, while LamoreauX,
devoid of all Bacchanalian vices and
dressed in sailors garb, is on the
yardarm tautening the bellying sails,
which are made of many copies of
the News sewn together with the
good stout thread of liberal patron
age.
1t will Only be few weeks, per-
haps days, until the press will be in
the throes of another idiotic boom and
ten column dispatches will be flashed
out hourly from the Cleveland quar-
tiers at Buzzard Bay.
A perusal of the official report of
the sinking of the British battleship
Victoria calls to mind the adage,
''dead men tell no tales" as all the
blame is put on the dead.
Startling news indeed is it that has
been flashed over the country about
Cleveland's sore toe, and the country
was aroused to the widest pitch of
excitement on learning that it was
necessary for him to wear one big
old shoe. 1t was proud day in
the life Of poodle dog Lamont when
he had the honor of telling the Amer
lean public that Cleve had tooth
pulled. 1t is expected that Gov.
Leonard will at once call the third
house together to reconsider the pas
sage Of the law regulating dentistry
in the state of Idaho. In Sundays
Salt Lake Tribune was a most entranc-
ing dissection of the Cleveland anat-
omy, accompanied with fascinating
pictures of divers sections of the
Cleveland form. A plump bare arm
and a ponderous, exquisitely chiseled
leg and thigh, with full side view
of the wofully distended Cleveland
front-it is needless to add that the
particular member of the Cleveland
family from which these views were
taken is Grover himself. The artist
did not complete the full series, but
it was probably owing to Grover re.
fusing to pose as ii model any longer;
but while the artist was about it he
might at least have given finish to the
line of illustrations by winding up
with back view of the old man
STOPPING over to look down on the
silver dollar.

No PROHIBITION ELECTION
To be Held in Forsyth During the
Year 1893.

There will be no election on Prohi-
bition this year.
At least that is the decision reached
by the committee. appointed to look
into the matter.
A mass-conyention of the citizens Of
Forsyth was to have been held at the
court house at two o'clock this after
noon, for the purpose of discussing
whether the entire county should vote
on the question, or Winston township
alone.
The committee to arrange for that
convention, however, held meeting
yesterday afternoon, and. after dis
cuSsing the question pro and con. de-
cided to issue the following notice TO
the public:
At a meeting held at the court
house in Winston, on the Sth inst,
the undersigned were appointed a
committee to issue an address calling
masS-meeting of the citizens Of For
syth county on the 18th instant to
| consider the advisability Of holding a
Prohibition election throughout the
county. The committee called meet
ing of number of sthe friends Of the
movement for the purpose Of taking
the matter under adYiSement. and
| after full conference and discussion.
| it was decided TO postpone action for
| the present, owing to the short time
in which to call the mass-mccting and
advertise it throughout the county as
| well as the limited time available to
| prepare for the canvass before the
| time fixed by law for the day of cleo
| tion. 1t was further decided by this

deed. we ought to feel highly hOnored
to know that the men whom we elect
ed to make our laws did not get
drunk while they were engaged in
their work.
But what did they do to free US
from this awful curse? Where are
the pet; tions which were signed by
thousands of the voters OF this State,
asking for SOME little help on this
line? What kind of prohibition laws
did they pass? Well, l will tell you
what they did. They gave Prohibition
to little place down in Columbus
county, but before that bill was pass
ed it was amended by taking $500
of the peoples money to pay damages
to LIQUOR dealer whose business it
would stop. This is the kind of an
honorable (?) body that was.
But somebody says, I'VE could not
run our schools without the money
we get from liquor men," This is not
so, and | will prove it. But if it were
true, do you want to educate your
children on blood money? Do you
wish to educate your children with
the price Of the tears and grOanS of
tie widows and orphans of the drunk
ards of this city? No, | don't believe
it; you are too good a people for that.

city costs more than all the bar-keep-
ers pay for their license. And to
prove that the bar-roOms create the
demand for SO large police force
we only have to look at those towns
which do not have the bar-rooms.
Salem has no bar-roOm, and it has
two policemen. High Point has no
bar-rooms, and only one policeman.
Concord is one of the most thriving
towns IN the State: it has eight white
churches. good graded schools, it has
electric lights, water supply and street
railway; it has no licensed liquor, and
it has one policeman.
May God grant that the time may
soon come when there shall not be a
legalized liquor saloon in ali this land.
And it is coming. The good women
of the land are organizing against this
curse, and it must go.
Let us who claim to be Christians
vote as we pray, and the day will soon
come when OR nation will not mourn
under this curse.

Henry Lampert, a single man, aged
about sixty-ffve years and a partial
mute, committed suicide by jumping
off the White Rocks, at Champions
Gap, Rohrersyille district. For years
his mind was weak, and he tried on
different occasions to kill himself. A
few months ago he cut his throat with
a knife. Later he set fire to his fine
residence near Locust Grove, and but
for the timely Intervention of neigh
bors would have been burned himself
alive. He had been at Belleview Asy-
lum, Hagerstown, for several weeks.
He was. last seen on Monday afternoon
walking toward the mountains. He
did not return to his home at night
and the next day neighbors instituted
a search and found his body at the
base of a tall liff, forty feet high,
known as the White Rocks. His re-
mains were mangled and his skull
crushed. Charles Slime found his
cane lying on the top of the rock
which showed that he had leaped over
the precipice for the purpose of killing
himself. In the suicides pocket were
found four big handkerchiefs tied to.
