a Gem Of Art.

Cne Of the most skillful and artistic
specimens of needle work ever looked
upon in Idaho, can be seen on the
wall OF the parlor of Mr.. c. w, Berry
man, OF Blackfoot
II is a representation of Bible
scene-Joseph introducing his aged
father to Pharaoh, King of Egypt, and
is the work Of the artistic hand of
Mrs. Bergman. 1t is the task of II
years.
The picture must be seen to be fully
appreciated. II is truly wonderful
how such a perfect representation of
expressions on the faces of the trio
and the combination of colors in the
royal robes of Pharaoh and Joseph
and the oriental costume of the old
patriarch, together with the scenes
around, could be made with needle
and thread. This specimen of handi.
work is a gem of art to be proud of,
and the husband will see to it that il
is always given the first place in bis
parlors.

ANOTHER BLAZE.
Fernish's Drug Store and the Ferris
Building IN Ruins.
BLAcKFooT HOTEL DAMAGED.
Biethan's big Store Makes Marrow
Escape--insurance Etc.

Wednesday morning between the
hours of one and two o'clock, the
alarm of fire was given, and the bright
blaze directed the startled citizens to
the burning buildings.
The fire had its origin in the unoc-
cupied Ferris building, next door to
the Blackfoot hotel. The flames soon
spread to the Fernish drug store and
in one hour both buildings were in
heap of smoldering ruins.
Most Of the goods in Fernlsh's store
we're saved but, more or less,l dam
aged condition. DR.. Dodge lost his
library and dental instruments.
The Blackfoot hotel made a narrow
escape. All its windows on the south
side, up and down stairs, were burn
ed, and some Of the furniture in the
rooms badly damaged. Had the wind
been blowing in that direction it
would have been totally destroyed.
Biethan's store also made a narrow
escape. His north brick wall and foun-
dation were damaged, but fortunately
the heat did not penetrate through to
the damage of his goods.
The general belief is-the fire, wheth-
er accidental or not, was started by
two tramps who were IN the Ferris
building that night. The Ferris build
ing, the hotel, Biethan's brick build
ing. Fernish's goods and DR.. Dodge's
library aud instruments were insured,
but there was none on the Fernish
building. 1t is fortunate the fire was
confined to the two buildings. Black
foot has no organized fire company
but her citizens always respond
promptly to an alarm and work with
az earnestness whenever fire occurs.

The Income Tax.

WASHINGTON, D. c., April %
There was scare here today about
the income tax. Somebody started
the report that the Democrats of the
Senate had become convinced that
they could not pass the tariff bill with
the income tax feature included. 1t
was nothing more than scare, how
ever. The Republic correspondent
took occasion to-day to make close
investigation. He finds that the tariff
bill is stronger with the income tax
feature than without it in the Senate
1t is reasonably certain that if the
Wilson bill or the pending tariff bill
becomes a law it will include the in
come tax, and as stated in these dis
patches, the chances are that it will
become law. Hill, Smith, Brice and
German may bluff, but they will not
follow their bluff to the extent of vot-
ing against the bill and joining with
the Republicans.
In connection with this report was
another one to the effect that Hill
was to be disciplined by a Democratic
Senatorial caucus,
This was contemplated soon after
Hills speech. 1t was decided then to
take no formal notice of it, but it Is
certain that if Hill, Smith or any
other Democrat votes against the tarlf
bill there will be Democratic Sena
torial caucus called and the recalcit
rants or traitors will be formally anG
with some ceremony expelled from
the Democratic party

ANOTHER HARD HIT.

The Grand Stand of the Philadelphia
Burned.
PHILADELPHIA. Aug. THE grand
stand at the Philadelphia baseball
grounds is in ruins, having been burned
this morning. 1t was one of the best
arranged and most costly in the coun-
try anil will entail a loss approximat.
ing $4,000. The Baltimore club is
scheduled to play here to-day. 1t is a
singular coincidence that the Orioles
were playing at Boston when the
champions grand-stand was burned.
LATER-In half an hour after the fire
broke oat the grand stand, bleachers
and. in fact. all the woodwork was in
ruins. Famed by stiff breeze. the
flames were carried over to the stables
of the Omnibus Company General, on
the west side of Fifteenth street. di-
rectly opposite the grand stand, and
soon they were in flames.
This necesstated the sending in an
other alarm - the fourth which
brought nearly all the companies in
the city proper. From the 'bus
stables" the fire spread to the car
stables of the Traction company where
the cars of the Thirteenth and Fiji
teenth and Twelfth and Sixteenth
streets lines were quartered.
AT | o'clock the fire in the omnibus
stables was still burning, but the
horses, several hundred in number, had
been turned loose and were saved. The
fire in the car stables was believed to
be under control. The cigar and
fruit store of J. Van Earl,
corner Fifteenth and Huntington
streets, was badly damaged. and the
pavilion attached to the saloon of j,
Boyle on Huntingdon street opposite
the ball grounds was destroyed.
The origin Of the fire is attributed to
lighted cigarettes having been care
lessly thrown under the grand stand.
