Now, Captain Gum, Don't Blush and Run.
Idaho Recorder.
We rise to thank our brethren of the
Idaho Press Association for the honor
conferred in electing us to the second
Office in their association. Perhaps
our absence had something to do with
the selection, as we are personally
acquainted with but one or two OF the
members. However, we give you
fair warning that we will be present
at the annual meeting to be held il
Ketchum in August and if any Of the
bachelor members feel like needing
Old Weller's warning to his son,
"Samival," they can govern them
selves accordingly.

1t is said that w. B. Heybourn
will draft bill taxing bachelors over
"a years of age, the revenue thus
derived to 60 to the support of un-
married women, and that Judge May
hew will father the bill. AS there is
no direct evidence that the judge
ever fathered anything else, we are
glad he is to take up that res
possibility.

MACMAHON'S FUNERAL.
France Buries the Hero of Magenta With
 Honors.

Honors.
 PARIS, Oct. 23.-Amid all the pomp of peace and war the remains of Marshal Mac Mahon, ex-prcsident of France and duke ofMagenta, were conveyed from the Church of La Madeleine, across the river Seine, to the Hotel des Invalides, there to rest until the great reveille is sounded by the heaven ly trumpeter.
 When the body of the last but one of the marshals of France reached this city from Mont Cresson, it was taken to the Church of La Madeleine. The modest hearse bear ing the ex-president's remains was followed from the railroad station by two old serv- ants of the dead soldier, who carried the Marshal's baton, decorations and other in- signia of office. The insignia of the mar shal of France was displayed in black vel vet cushions, and the little cortege was re- spectfully saluted by the crowds of merry makers flocking the streets in consequence of the festivities prepared in honor of the Russian sailors.
 Marshal MacMahon's son and about 50 of the most prominent officers and others present took part in this last ceremony, during which the choir chanted 'De Pro fundis" in a most impressive manner.
 When all the funeral ceremonies were completed, Marshal Canrobert was pre- sented with the remnants of two flags by Crimean veterans, whose regiments had carried these flags in the Crimean war with Marshal Canrobert in every place where they had served during that famous campaign.
 The German ambassador and the other prominent representatives of Emperor Will liamspresent were unable to find carriages at the conclusion of the ceremonies at the Hotel des Invalides and were obliged to re- turn to the German embassy on foot. On their way to the embassy the people made a respectful passage for them and in no way attempted to insult the much hated German uniform.

A Strange Story of a Soldiers Disappear

ance From Home.
 PALMER, Mass, Oct. 24.-Thirty years ago Charles Holcomb said goodby to his wife and son and enlisted in the Union army. When the war was over, he did not return to his family, but went to unknown parts. Mrs. Holcomb naturally supposed her husband dead and after a proper in- terval married Captain Dwight Johnson of Palmer. In few years Captain Johnson died, and within a few months Mrs. John son died also.
 Since his mothers death the son, George Holcomb, has accidentally found that his father is living. He was at Colrain, Mass, and happened to see in the postoffice let ter addressed to Charles Holcomb.
 As that is his fathers name, he made in- quiries, went to farm some distance from the town, found that the man really was his father and had long talk with him.
 The elder Holcomb Is married again and has several children. He owns good farm and draws pension. George told his fa- ther of his mothers death, and the old gen. tleman said he would have liked to have seen Mrs. Johnson before she died and had a talk with her. There seems to be no like lihood that father and son will live togeth- CT. George is watchman at depot in West Brookfeld, Mass.
