R 4roRr OF ADA %. GRAND JURY
Touching The Legislative BribI J Cases.

The following is that portion Of the
Ada county grand iur,s report rela-
tive to the bribery cases
awe have ex;.mmed the charges of
br hery against mgml ers OF the Sec
ond Legislature assemhl, Of the State
of Idaho, preferred by Governor Nc
Council on or about March s, 1898,
By a private letter to District Attor-
ney Hays, and TO which our attention
was called by your honor in your
charge to us on the l4th instant, and
report that said charges have not been
sustained hy lhe testimony adduced
before MS with that certainty necessary
either to find an Indictment or to con
vicL before rial tr,. although every
effort has been offered BY this court
to reach witnesses in the ease from a
great distance and 1T great cost, as
well as all obtainable evidence nearer
home.
We find that a criminal charge can
be easily made, but, in his instance,
at least, hard d prove, for the reasons
that witnesses familiar with the facts
and whose evidence would have been
conclusive perhaps upon the case If
they could have been compelled to
testify without eliminating themselves
refused To testify.
We have also examined charges
made against members If the First
Legislative assembly If the State Of
Idaho for bribery and were confronted
with the same obstacles a. last above
mentioned, and for similar reasons
these charges were not sustained /"
Thus ends the great blow out. From
this report it is plain that the grand
jurors were satisfied about tile guilt
Of parties but the proof could not be
reached But the governor cannot let
the matter rest where it is. The people
will not be satisfied If this is to be
the last of it, then it would have been
better never to have called it up

one Of his visits to Ohio during his

in a patch near the road. The Presi-

HOW TO ASSIST THE MEMORY.


The Way in which Railway Postal
Clerks Learn the Mail Routes.
The railway postal clerks have o
unique method for learning the route,
on which post offices are located, SAYS
the Philadelphia Record Take, for ex.
ample, the state Of Pennsylvania, In
which there are over five thousand of.
fees. The prospective mail distributor
buys quantity OF blank cards-about
the size of the ordinary visiting card
and on each of these he writes the
name of an office. On the back OF
the card he writes the name Of
the route by which the Office Is
served with its mail. Taking in hand
pack of these cards-say from fifty TO
one hundred-he goes over them one
after another studiously, looking at
the back each time and getting the
name and route clearly associated In
his mind. The second time he goes
through the pack he finds that he
knows half of the routes by reading
the names Of the Office. 1t Is dull
student who, upon going over a pack
of cards q dozen times, does not know
them thoroughly. The method is so
simple and such an aid TO memorizing
that 1t is adopted by all railway mail
clerks. BY II clerks have been known
10 memorize a state like Pennsylvania
inside of two months.
On all large routes clerks work but
half time, the other half being devoted
TO rest and study The mail clerk at
home, continually reminded OF coming
examinations, carries his cards wher-
ever he goes, coming them over at
every opportunity. One demonstrative
clerk on the New York & Pittsburgh
railroad post office is famed for having
learned the state of Ohio in four days
As he shufled over his cards he walked
from garret TO cellar, and vice versa,
from dawn until the shades Of twilight
fell On the fourth day he went 10 the
examiners Office and separated Ohio
without an error
1t is related that the wife OF postal
clerk adopted the card method for In
creasfng her vocabulary In French. On
one side Of the card she wrote the
French word and on the other the Eng
lish equivalent TO be learned. Another
lady, hearing Of this, used the same
system successfully for learning my
thology, placing the word Mars fo-
instance, on one side OF tho card and
"war" on the other. The method has
so many advantages over the old and
tedious way of learning from the pages
Of book that It might be utilized with |
advantage by teachers In search Of new
methods Of imparting instruction.

While holy pride, that once was grief, holds

And seek the unmarked mound amid Loulsi-

Find them from Misslssppl's head to where

Mark each one with his country's flag and o'er

With evergreen comminge lest they fade too

With fragrant apple blossoms let your twin

And pluck the wild rose blushing to her i'm.

Upon your southern brothers graves 0, drop

Yea, while upon the mound beneath the laurel

Spare ye a flower for those who meath the

Proclaim to all the nations, This the tribute

Fruit of a land united to sever neer again"
Let gathered nations listen as we tell their

With praises for Jehovah, our united nations

Let bitterness lie buried and forgotten In the

And honor bloom afresh for those who died

Expert ChopplnR.

Queer and racy are the tales told OF
the skill Of the Maine shipbuilders In
the use OF the adze and broadax. One
old-time yarn Is Of the carpenter who
applied, very drunk, at shipyard for
employment In order 10 have n little
fun with him the foreman set him TO
give proof Of his skill by hewing out
wooden bolt with no chopping block
but a stone. The carpenter accom-.
plished his difficult task without mar
ring the keen edge of the broadax, and
showed the foreman n neatly made
bolt. Then he brought the ak down
with terrific blow that shattered its
edge upon the stone. "I can hew fust.
rate on your chopping block" he hic.
coughed, ''but I'll be d-d II / can
make the AK stick in II when ! gil
through" The story runs that the
foreman lost no time In employing such
q workman
