.Jud1e Lunch in LeWisfOn.

At midnight on January 2, 1898,
Albert E. Roberts was taken from
the county Jail at Lewiston by a
band of masked men, carried across
the street to the old mill building
and hanged.
Roberts was in jail charged with
the murder of Jack Sutherland at
Leland on December Is last.
The deputy sherifls were aroused
from sleep and forced to surrender
the keys to the steel cage at 1l:45
p. IN. Six men, each having two
revolvers, covered the officers and
forced them to open the Jail and
the cell. Roberts was then seized
and dragged into the ante-rOom of
the Jail, where his hands and feet
were bound and was then rushed
rapidly up the street. The officers
alarmed the near by neighbors but
nobody could be found, and the body
of Roberts was found swinging to a
beam in the old mill building, still
warm but lifeless. There were II
or 10 men in the party and they
are supposed to be from Leland,
but nothing is known as to their
identity. A coroner's inquest was
held on the body and verdict re-
turned that deceased came to his
death at the hands of persons un-
known.

MARRIED-At the residence of
the groom's parents, Clearwater,
Idaho, Jan. l, 1893, Mr.. James Nc
Pherson, Of Clearwater, and Miss
Ollie Straugh, of Glenwood, Rev. j.
B. York officiating.
Mr.. Mcpherson is one of Clear
waters steady, Woodworking young
men and we feel assured that his
fair bride will ever have good
home and attentive protector as
long as Jim is at the wheel. Miss
Ollie was one of Glenwood's modest
and cheerful young ladies; that al
ways captivate the eyes of those
who are in search of that sacred
love which we should ever bear in
mind when in search of a partner
for life. The wedding had long
been prophesied by the people OF
Clearwater, and we congratulate
them upon their happy union. May
their future life be as prosperous
and happy as their former life has
been noble and deserving.
The weather is fine and every
body is at work.
The new scnool house in the
Clear creek district is about COM
pleted and we have been told there
is to be dance given for the bene-
fit of the district soon.
The Clearwater literary society
is running full blast with l.. w.
Williams, president. The Review
is getting to be quite an interesting
and valuable paper. Besides the
interesting items of the neighbor-
hood it discusses the various polit-
ical issues of the day. Quite a
number from the other side of the
river were present last Saturday
night. Next Saturday night We
discuss the important subject, IRE
solved that dancing is an evil. "
The Rev. York and Allen Stephens
ere the leading disputants.
Christmas has come and gone
again with but little change in the
great stage of life except a few sore
toes and stiff limbs occasioned by
dancing too much at the great fes-
rivals. Clearwater celebrated the
holidays by two rousing dances-at

Rabbit creek. Those that partici-
pated in the festival say it was the
best known in the history of Clear
water, and though there were some
accidents, such as sleighs breaking
down and being left by the way
side, and the occupants pursuing
their way afoot-that great natur-
al way of life. Dancing commenc-
ed shortly after dark and contin-
ued until about ~ o'clock then
stopped for short rest and re-
freshed themselves with a daintily
prepared basket lunch, after which
dancing was resumed until about
four in the morning, when the
guests wished the host successful
life and left for their homes.
The Rev. Kinkaid preached an
interesting and enthusiastic sermon
to the people of Clearwater at the
school house New Years day.

II Trip to Rapid Rirer.

A trip to the mountains in mid
winter is certainly not an enviable
one, but the party of four who left
Grangeville December 15 bound for
the Rapid river and Seven Devils
country were rot made of the stuff
to be baflled by the signs of winter.
The weather was fine, roads good,
and the air cold and bracing until
we came near the Salmon river,
where cold is unknown and the
ground never freezes. Half way
down the White Bird canyon is sa-
cred ground, where the gallant
Theller, with 80 of his brave SOL
diers fell, murdered by the Chief
Joseph renegades fifteen years ago.
Our first nights stop was at Mrs.
Rohie's, eight miles up Salmon riv-
er from the mouth of White Bird.
We were glad to find such place
of rest, as the seats of our saddles
were getting very tired, and the
bountiful supper set before us gave
tone TO the inner man and surpris-
ed us that we felt SO good. The
next morning we were off early our
first stopping place at Slate creek,
where we renewed our kitchen
with bacon, flour, etc. Then on to
John Day, where we were treated
to great big red apples and gather
eel 4 hoquet of flowers in the yard.
This Oh December Is. Surely this
is the +" Banana Belt" of Idaho.
Our overcoats tied behind our sad
dies and straw hats and busters
would not have been out of place.
We reached the orchard farm of
Amos Carver at p. M, turned our
horses out to stacks of alfalfa hay
and ourselves to the cider barrel
and big red apples. Never saw such
fruit aud SO much of it as there is
on Salmon river. The next day we
forded the river at Billy Shorts.
took him along and stopped for the
night at Tom Pollock IS. Who has

The State University.

~
From Gov. wjlisy's Message to the Legislature.
The report of the Regents of the
University will be laid before you.
1T contains in details the state
ments of receipts and disburse-
ments and NE progress of the inn
provements undertaken, the en-
ployment of professors, and the
number and standing of the stu
dents. During the two years, the
west wing of the structure has been
completed and furnished and i'll
September it was occupied by a
corps Of teachers and some of the
departments of the University were
in operation. 1t is an elegant and
substantial structure and cost about
$4,000.
ne remainder of the buildings
can be completed at an estimated
cost of $4,000 | do not recon-
mend that this be undertaken with
undue haste but that it should pro-
ceed as fast as the educational
wants of the state demand.
The subjects that are taught in
the University are those among
others, that are required by the
Federal Government in Agriculture
al Colleges and upon this showing,
/ have asked to have Idaho inclu-
ded in the number of states entitled
to receive the sums appropriated to
these Colleges. Our state has no
histinctively Agricultural College
and it would seem to be the part OF
wisdom to apply this fund to the
support of single school teaching
ALI the required branches rather
than to divide it among two or sew
eral. Que strong school well equip
ped will better promote the educa-
tional interests of the state than
two struggling for existence.
The present tax rate of seven
and half cents on the hundred
dollars, consider sufficient to pro-
vide a fund for construction pur-
poses and the subsidy of the gov
ernment, now $4,000 per annum
and increasing a thousand dollars
yearly, will go far towards main
tanning a corps of teachers and pro,
fessors.
There will come time when a
separate Agricultural College will
be q necessity but our present as
scssment is too small to permit us
to indulge in the costly luxury OF
two fully equipped institutions
without unduly taxing the com
monWealth.
Tho Agricultural Experiment
Stations are also under the genera
direction of the Board of Regents
Three of these were established
during the year, at Idaho Falls
Nampa and Grangeville, and the
Congressional appropriation of SD,
900 per annum was divided be
tween them.
The usual agricultural operations
incident to institutions of this char
acter have been carried on at thes'
stations but | have no information
regarding them.
l recommend that the term o
Office of the Regents be extended tt
six years and that one-third of thu
number be appointed biennally ant
that the Governor, and Chairman
of the State Board of education b.
added to the number, as ex-oflici'
members.

She stood in the cabin door, the aft.
ernoon sun gliding her auburn curls,
whilc In the distance among the vas.
expanse Of flowers and grass the chirp.
ing of the cricllcts intermingled with
the rustic of u passing bird.
With great sob swelling in her
bosom, and Il last glance Mt the rude
cottage Sallic started forth down the
path to the beaten track stretching
nway into the great beyond.
She had gone but u little way when
-hark! What was that sound which
sent the blood from her checks and IL
cold shivcr through her little frame?
ALI! too we'll did she know the vhirr
of the rattlcsnalic.
Her frightened gaze fell upon a little
bunch of white lying beside the road
short distance away. 1t was Martini,
fast asleep. Her hands clasped 4
bunch of wild flowers, while few
feet distant was coilcd rattlcsnalic,
its ugl y head waving to and fro, the
forlled tongue playing rapidly.
In an instant Saliic realized the stu
alton. Here was her enemy -thc girl
who had causclcssly made life Il bur-
den, and had really driven her from
homc-about TO receive her Just re.
ward. Soon the serpent would strike,
burying its funGs in the arm that had
so often been raised to strike her; and
then-Martla would awake to find
herself i'll the coils OF the snake!
Oh! 1t was, indeed, n just retribu-
ton, ana Sallic drew back, bat sudden
~ there awoke within her Il better ma
turc that had been so long subducd
She forgot her injuries, Tie insults
she had received, and even the loss OF
her homo. Her riind was ccn:crcd on
but one Thoughtful human life was in
danger.
The snake was on the point Of stvi!;-
ing when, quick us Il fash, Sallic
sprang forward, catching the reptile
around the neck. immediately her
body was cncirclcd by the hideous
folds, which twisted and writhcd; but
with both hands Sallic graspcd firincr
the Shiny object
Down the beaten track came the
sound of horses hoofs. Three riders
were rapidly approaching, and they
were almost upon her when Snllic sud
denly rcelcd-cverything turned black
and
"Therc is no question" said a voice,
that is our Marie"
Sallic opened her eyes and looked
into those of IL lady bending over the
couch.
"Nhere am -" she murmurcd.
"Your are in our HOMEGROWN home
where you will remain" replied the
voice. Darling, ten long years ago,
while we were visiting in this part of
the country, you were stolen by u band
of Greascrs, in hopes of obtaining Il
reward reward was offered, but
the man who had concealed YOU was
killed in slsirmish with the sheriff,
and your hidng-placc was unknown.
