to this record have but to call his atten-
ton to the time made by Clapp and Hutch
ings, who finished as near a tie as 1T was
possible for a put-up job to make 1t. in the
Arlington handicap road race on October
%, when they covered the twenty and a
half miles in 1 hour minutes and 40
seconds. Not stopping to dispute the record
of the aforementioned record holder, we
have the record for the twenty and a half
miles in o seconds less time than he had 1t
for twenty miles. In other words Clapp and
Hutchings rode one-hah mile more in 8

Washington Road Club.
The Washington Road Clubs run last
week was not largely attended. but the alb
sence of numbers did not detract from the
interest and enthusiasm of the run. which.
by the way, was not a hare and hound
event. There were no hounds in the party,
nor did the wheelmen come across a single
hare. although they were supposed to be on
a cunning expedition. The place selected
for the sport was on he Virginia side of
the river in the vicinity of Great Falls, the
cyclists making Dickey's their headquarters
To the woods they went, but with what
success is not known, for none of them
returned with any game, although it is
stated that Capt. Jose killed sparrow
At the same time other members of the
party say that. in fairness to their noble
captain. IT should be stated that no other
birds were found Fortunately the gunners
did not stray far from the country tavern
and Mrs. Dickey saved something for them
to eat.

Salubria telephone talk is begin
ming to have its regular spell of spring
rejuvination. Bill Allison is one of
the enthusiasts, which is natural Just
after his having been in contact most
OF the winter with the actual conven-
fences and benefits Of the telephone
We once talked ourselves out of
breath on this telephone question, and
many of our friends tried to hold us
level, in fact il has never yet been
decided who could do the most talk
ing. 1t has been proved, however,
that none of us were good enough
takers to talk the line into existence
and get the phone to working. Now,
after good bit of a rest we have re-
covered sufficiently to remark that
the line ought to be built. 1t would
cement the upper and lower contry
as close together as anything would
short of railroad. There is no rea-
son why we should be behind neigh
boring towns and villages around us,
nearly all of which are connected
with each other, and with the railroad
and with Boise the capital, thus
bringing them all closer together in a
circuit of social and business relation,
which makes them mutually support
i've of each other. And none of them
are one whit more important than
Salubria and Weiser. If this tele-
phone is to be built it will not be
done on wind. Let two or three
start the thing going by forming
company, issue stock and
put it on the market and we
will guarantee that there will be en-
ough taken in one week to build the
line.

taking proclivities of these gentle
men. Regarding Miller, the Times
says: Gin the meantime unpleasant
rumors were rife that Senator Miller,
of Cassia county, was being worked
by the enemies of Idaho Falls, but
the friends of the latter measure hay
ing received his solemn pledges, and
had greatly assisted him in passing
his Normal School bill through the
senate, paid no attention to these ru-
mors, and their confidence still re-
manned mistaken. The next day the
college bill was brought up but Mil
ler's chair was vacant and report
had come in that he was sick. 1t
then goes on to state that Miller S
sickness was a sham and was brought
on by nothing less than bribery.
Speaking of his recovery and return
to the senate the Times continues
"But seemingly not satisfied with
this record of infamy he calls upon
the Bingham county delegation and
implores them to save his normal
school bill in the house, again agree
ing to support the college bill when il
should come up, and asking Repre-
sentative Storey and Frank Riblett,

did. Through the efforts of the

THE WEISER SIGNAL.
THURSDAY, MARCH l6, 1893.

Town election occurs on the second
Tuesday in April and ten days notice
of the same must be given; therefore,
II the corporate portion Of Weiser is
to have town election there is not
great amount of time left in which to
make up minds and arrange for the
same. We think it would be a good
idea for every gentleman of progress
to make it special object within the
next few days to urge the old town
trustees to call such an election and
revive up the old corporation with
view to taking in the new town and
entering into a city government with
q renewed vigor which will place us
on a progressive footing and compare
favorably with that Of other live towns
around us. The success of city gov
eminent all depends on the spirit in
which it is conducted. The spirit was
allowed to languish in the old corpo-
ration, but it is time we shook our
selves up and made an attempt to
instill new life into it and run local
government in that vigorous and en-
lightened manner that makes town
throw its light on the world and shine
like a new brass button. The new
Stewart law enacted by the last legis-
lature revises and extends the manner
OF operating and powers of a city
government and makes a municipal
regime most desirable and advanta-
geous one for live community.
There are many reasons why the mat
ter should be agitated and polished
up, which are plain to the townsmen
Of Weiser and need not be rehearsed
at length. Let us then, gentlemen,
make an effort to have the election
brought about so that we may receive
some Of the multiplied benefits result
ing therefrom, such as to remove nui-
sances, preserve order, establish fire
regulations and safeguards to prevent
conflagrations, plant shade trees, main
tain sidewalks, improve and drain the
streets and draft in hobos and va
grants to help improve the city, rele-
gate filth to the background, and a
hundred other little things that tend
to give the city neat, clean and
bright appearance; and TO take other
steps bearing on the future PROCESS
and wealth Of the town. A little
energy exerted in unity can do won
ders in making place spoken of
abroad, in making it place that will
impress the newcomer at first glance
and create a steady growth and an
ever increasing population 1t is to
the interest of every property holder
to see that his town moves ahead in
way to enhance his possessions; and
it can only be made to move ahead by
the united efforts of its inhabitants,
directed and controlled by we'll estab-
Ashed local laws that will force the
laggards to keep pace with the more
progressive. No town ever amounts
TO anything through any other chan
mel. If you reflect, you will admit
it, and when you admit it you admit
the necessity OF holding tins election,
extending the limits and upholding
our dignity and authority as a corpo-
ration.

''Show us now thy mighty magic, o
wonder worker" cried another, ''before
we entomb thee forever!"
''He does not answer added Chalpa
in mock pity. "He is silent before his
deedsSand speak thy last, for silenced
you will be forever this night
Eric made no attempt to speak, know
ing that the effort would but provoke
their derision, and they raised him
again, carrying Tim to a ruined mass
of ancient tombs. Here they placed
him, and while one held the Pickering
light the others removed several fat
stones, revealing an opening large
enough to admit man. Into this they
crawled, one after another, and pushed
Gilbert, feet first, into what he found to
bs a great square passageway choked
with debris. One man remained on
guard at the entrances; the rest followed
the light in Chalpa's hand down the i'll
clined passage.
The air was cool in the passage, but
not damp, and the light hickered now
and then as they proceeded. He noticed
several branching passages, but his bear
came to its lowest depth, where it seemed
to ascend beyond to still farther dis
lance. Here they laid him down and
drew back-all but Chalpa-who, stand
ing over him with scowl of hate, ad-
dressed him, holding the light close to
his face:
''Fool, to think to outwit Chalpa, the
rattlesnake, the willy serpent! Know
you not how many men have died who
crossed the rattlesnake's path? Thei1
bones are whitening in secret places;
their homes know them no more; Their
memory even is faded and gone-even
as yours will be-for Kinchahan, ouI
god, loves his servant and hates all false
gods; therefore I leave you to him here
in the darkness. Listen and you will
hear the river running overhead; we are
now beneath its bed. You will have
time to listen to its voice and be lnlled
to sleep. No one will disturb your
dreams this night, o false god, for here
man never comes. You will sleep the
sleep that comes to all who anger Chalcu,
the dread one."
With one last bitter glance of hatred
Chalpa left him. Eric saw the light
grow dim as his captors went up and
along the tunnel, and then it disap-
peared. When the footballs ceased he
heard the solemn sound above him,
which told him that the river rolled
close over his head. He realized that he
was in one of the most ancient of the
crypts of which Iklapel had informed
him, so old that it had been forgotten
long ages ago.
