Col. Sharp remarked the other
day that Custer county was the
only county in the United States
that had gone Populist. At that
time the returns from Shoshone,
Latah, Lemhi, Logan and AL
turas were not in. But then,
you know the Col. is such a

Latest unofficial returns from
Idaho gives Wilson, (Rep.) 8941;
Gum (Pop.) 6785; Ballentine
Dem. 1923. This gives the
Populists second place in the
race. They have gained nearly
5000 votes in Idaho alone since
last election.

The Republicans have the
lower House of congress by a
large majority, but they are in a
helpless condition; the Populists
will hold the balance of power in
the Senate, and behind all this is
Grover with his veto power.

THE MYSTIC ORDER.
The Grand Lodge Session of Ida
no Odd Fell0WS.

The Grand Lodge of Idaho
Odd Fellows convened in the old
historic city of Lewiston on Oct.
16, with about IS officers and
representatives present. All but
three lodges in the jurisdiction
were represented. The three
links were everywhere, a conser-
vative estimate placing the num-
Der of visitors to the city on ac-
count of the Grand Lodge at not
less than 200. Lewiston is es-
sentially an Odd Fellows town.
It's very best men are numbered
among the members of the lodge
at that place, and the few who
don't belong will undoubtedly be
stimulated by the Grand Lodge
session to make application at
once.
The Grand Lodge of Idaho was
organized November 20, 1888, at
Boise City, and was composed of
the follow ing lodges:
Pioneer No. 1, Idaho City.
Owyhee No. 2, Silver City.
Ada No. 3, Boise.
Excelsior No. 4, Centerville.
Rocky Mountain No. 5, Sal
mon City.
Covenant No. 6, Placerville.
Mt. Idaho No. z, Gralgeville.
Lewiston No. 8, Lewiston.
Bellevue No. 9, Bellevue.
There are now in the state 43
Subordinate lodges with a memb-
ership of 1850; % Rebekah lodg-
es with a membership of 700; 16
Encampments with member
ship of 400, and three Cantons
uniform rank.
The Grand Lodge elected the
following officers;
N. G. Price, Grand Master,
Pocatello.
L. Rowley, Deputy Grand
Master, Lewiston.
Geo. Thompson, Grand War
den, Occur d'Alens City.
A. K. Steunenberg, Grand Sec
rotary, Caldwell.
Frank B. Willis, Grand Repre-
sentative, Challis.
The next session of the Grand
Lodge will be held at Caldwell.
A pleasing incident during the
session was the presentation tc

Bailey of an oak gavel, in which
was embedded a bullet. 1t was
relic from Lookout Mountain
and was very acceptable sow
enier.

Toledo, Ohio, Nov. Z. a Blade spe-
cial from Paulding, Ohio, reports the
horrible murder Of boy aged seven,
and his sister, aged five, the children
OF Samuel GOOde, prosperous farmer
living about two miles from town.
The children started out yesterday,
but not returning at dark, searching
parties started out. The little bodies
We're found in brush heap at day
light The boys throat was cut from
ear to ear, the girl was decapitated
and disemboweled, the weapon being
an ak. An attempt had been made to
burn the brush heap, but it was too
wet. The theory is that the little girl
was outraged and the double murder
committed to hide the crime The SUR
rounding country is up in arms, and
armed men are searching everywhere
Tor, any suspicious persons.
y Sheriff Staley arrested Charley
Hart, a neighbor boy, who was at
once suspected, and the people Of the
neighborhood aFe firm in their con-
Y1ction of his guilt AS soon as Hart
was taken to the Paulding jail mob
OF 300 to 500 organized to hank the
prisoner at once, but were disbanded
on pleas that the chances were large
ly in favor Of the boys innocense, and
that the guilty party was still at large;
1t was evident that this argument
would hold the crowd off until night
came on, and the sheriff watched his
opportunity to spirit the prisoner away
to the jail at Van Vert, distance Of
thirty miles. 1t is currently reported
that the mob is on it's way to Van
Vert in such force that St cannot be
resisted by the authorities.

Philadelphia, Dec 6. - The Press
says: In April last M. NJ Browning
and a young man whose name is not
known, opened a store for the sale of
butter at 1877 Margaretta street, in
this city. Browning watched the busi-
ness here and sent the young man to
the West to negotiate with farmSrs
for the sale Of the product. He re-
turned to this city with number of
names on his list, and consignments
Of butter thereafter arrived from the
West to be paid for upon delivery.
Three weeks ago Browning suddenly
left town and last Tuesday the young
man followed, after closing the shop.
Since their disappearance information
has been received from farmers in
Illinois and Southern Wisconsin, par
ticularly Jefferson county, to the ef-
feet that Browning had failed to pay
for consignments aggregating over
$25,OOO in value. Steps have been
taken to capture the fugitives.

Yokohama, Nov. 6. -Adyices received
here from the front show that there
has been heavy fighting in the country
just north of Port Arthur.
The dispatches received are brief
and are silent on some important
points. It appears that Field Marshal
Oyama divided his forces. While one
division landed on the east coast Of
the peninsula north Of Talienwan, an
other division was detached with or
ders to effect a landing near Kin
Chow, and to proceed thence and join
the main body Of tile army. This
operation was a complete success. The
Japanese encountered no Chinese war
ships, and the transports reached
Kayenko and disembarked troops,
guns, horses and munitions in safety.
Kin Chow, which is walled town,
and which was believed to be held
by a large garrison, was Immediately
attacked. The outer defenses were
carried by the Japanese after a few
hours fighting. The Chinese made
little further resistance and the Jap
anese were soon masters of the place.
In the meantime the Japanese fleet
which had conveyed the transports,
opened heavy fire on 1alienwan and
Kayenko. The firing scarcely ceased
for many hours. Covered by the fire
from the ships the land force attacked
and captured Talienwan in a brilliant
fashion. The dispatch states that the
losses were heavy. They also mention
that an important naval engagement
occurred Saturday, but give no de-
tails. Yesterday was the forty second
anniversary of the birth Of the mikado.
There will be great public rejoicing
tomorrow over the victories thus far
won by the Japanese armies. Up to
the time of sending this dispatch
there has been no confirmation Of the
report of the capture of Port Arthur.
Field Marshal Yamagata's army con-
tinues it's victorious march. The di-
vision under Gen. Tatsumi pushed
forward and captured Fung Wang
Ching as already cabled to the Asso-
ciated Press. The enemy was scat
tered and fed in the direction OF
Takusan, Kaijoa and Ho-Tenfu. No
fighting is mentioned as having &C.
| CURED at Fung Wang Ching, but it is
at Taikai. Field Marshal Yamagata's IS
official dispatch says that the detach-

Fung Wang Ching, a fort which ranks

principal portion of the Chinese army
| fled toward Moukden and the remain
der in the direction of Haichen and
| Takusan. r- .,-
The Chinese inhabitants who have
been plundered by the Chinese soldiers
welcomed the Japanese army. The
Japanese captures to the present are
IS cannon, 1,500 small arms, 10000
rounds of artillery ammunition, $500
600 rounds for small arms and a guam
tity Of other material &c., -.' T.

HYPNOTISM AND SURGERY.
Experiment Successfully Tried fox
the First Time in the Northwest.

Experiment Successfully Tried for
the First Time in the Northwest.
Minneapolis, Nov. Z. - An unusual
but decidedly successful experiment
was completed in the private office Of
Dean w. x. Sudduth at the state uni
versity yesterday. For the first time
in the Northwest hypnotism has been
officially and scientifically used as an
anesthetic in surgical operation.
Last Sunday morning the wife of a
Minneapolis grocer had a tumor as
large as an English walnut removed
from her neck, directly under her left
ear. For twenty-one years this tumor
had been causing her much annoyance
and pain, but she feared to take
chloroform or any other anesthetic, as
she was in deadly fear Of drugs. Yes
terday morning the lady returned to
have the wound dressed again by DR..
Sudduth. The subject is exceedingly
nervous and timid and shows in her
every movement the nervousness re-
sulting from years of suffering. Upon
entering the room she seated herself
in a chair in accordance with the di-
rections given her by DR.. H. A.
Parkyn, of the Toronto university, and
was soon placed in a hypnotic sleep
under his influence.
It was found that the opening had
healed nicely, and even when the fiery
sensation Of the per oxide of hydrogen
was sprayed upon the wound there
was no sign of suffering. He struck
his hands together in front of her
face suddenly, and she awoke with a
start, strangely calm and serene. The
operation was witnessed by two re-
porters and two dental students at the
university. ~. Il.
