HOUSE.

| hOUSE.
When the House met to-day it wa;
apparent that the democrats intended
merely to carry out their programme O.
attempting to report the federal cleo
ton bill. That the managers had come
to the conclusion that they could not
secure quorum to-day was manifest
ed by the poor attendance on the dem
ocratic side.
Mr.. Tucker was early in his seat and
was engaged in close consultation with
his lieutenants. The general of the
opposing army, Mr.. Burrows, of Michi-
gan, was also in the hall, long before
noon, suave and alert.
There were exactly 50 democratic
members in the Chamber when the
Speakers gavel fell.
There were q few corrections made
to the journal which again gave Mr..
Reed, of Maine, an opportunity to
make some sarcastic remarks. He call
ed attention to the errors made. He
admitted that the House had never had
a better clerks desk than it had at
present, but he called attention to the
matter so as to prevent gentlemen on
the other side from attacking republi-
cans on this point.
The journal having been approved,
Mr.. English asked unanimous consent
for the consideration of a resolution re-
citing that the recent train robberies
on interstate railroad lines, showed
that the q. S. mails were in danger,
and directing the committee on inter-
state and foreign commerce to investi-
gate these robberies.
Mr.. Burrows moved to dispense with
the call of committees; and on this mo-
ton the yeas and nays were ordered.
The democrats could muster but 147
members, and as this was not quorum,
the House at 1910 adjourned to meet at
las Monday, upon which day the

A Pleasant surprise.

The old schooImates Of Albert

Kept from the family and Albert as
well. The surprisers gathered at the
residence OF Mr.. and Mrs. Thos.
Crofton at 1880 Monday evening and
marched IN solid body to the com.
modlous residence Of Mr.. and Mrs
Dr. A'pf. There was large regi-
ment OF merry surprises, who we're
received with hearty welcome, bu,
Albert was not there. He was sent
for ard when he arrived was both
surprised and delighted, and greeted
his many friends in that graceful
Happy, wholesouled manner that is
CHARACTERISTIC of the young man. The
surprised and surprisers were having
good time when Albert was again
surprised. The brass band BOYS oui.
city slipped up in front of the resi-
dence and before Albert knew o.
their presence there was music il
the air. The band boys, after play
ing few selections, marched in ane
partook of the festivities of the occa
sion. All went "merry as marriag,
bill" " until after l o'clock, when al
bade Albert "good bye" and de
parted. All had happy time, an'
to say that Albert greatly appreciate,
this greeting Of old Idaho City friend
would be putting it mild. Most O
those present were his old schoe
mates.

A DanEerous Fall.

Mr.. Moore Jern igan, on wager,
yesterday afternoon attempted to
jump from the ninety foot high tower
at the dam, used by Professor Speedy
in his diving exhibition, resulting in
his having narrow escape from
serious injury. He mounted the
tower safely and sprang far out from
the dizzy height. AS he descended his
body began to turn, and before he
struck the water he had turned COM
pletely over number of times. He
struck partially on his back and side,
but managed to swim to the bank
after he came to the surface. From
there he was carried to the boat house,
where he was made comfortable on an
improvised bed. Last evening he
was reported to be suffering cOnsid-
cradle pain, but just what injuries he
had sustained and how serious they
were had not been ascertained.
