To all whom it may concern:
1t is known that cigar factory
has started in operation and by pat
ronizing home industry and calling
for the Weiser made cigars Supreme
judge you will compel us to employ
more men. The question is, Who
will be benefited by it? We all shall,
either directly or indirectly. BY
patronizing home industry you will
bring more people to your town.
These people must live. They need
clothing, shoes, etc. You would be
compelled to put up more dwellings,
and that would require men to erect
them, and they must live. These
houses would have to be painted,
probably be plastered, and that would
require more help, etc, and these
people must live Keep your money
at home and build up your own town
instead of sending your money away.
You are helping to build and inn
prove other cities and support people
in other towns that you do not receive
one cent of benefit from You build
their fine avenues, their dwellings,
hotels aud other business houses.
Did you ever stop to think that by
sending your money away you were
robbing yourself? You can remedy
this, citizens. 1t is in your power to
do so. Patronize home industry and
keep all the money at home you can
and you will make your town pros
porous and we all shall be happy.
BY careful estimate there are
about 10, 600 cigars consumed every
month in Weiser. With Huntington.
Weiser, Payette, Salubria and the
upper country we could support ten
cigar makers, and these men earn
from $50 to $50 week-a pay roll
of $3.50 n week or 81, 900 month.
As before stated, you citizens can
gain this point and have this pay roll
in this town by patronizing home in
dustry and asking for the Weiser
made cigars. The cigars made in
Weiser are made of clean and good
tobacco. We use nothing but the
best of Havana and Sumatra the
market affords. The Supreme Judge
cigar is equal to any imported cigar.
Try them and convinced. Trusting
you will make this a careful study
and let it be your practice to call for
Weiser made cigars,
Yours respectfully,
SUPREME JUDGE CIGAR FACTORY,
Weiser, Idaho.
See that the name of factory is on
every box, then you will be sure and
get good cigar for your money.

Riel Wilson was a candidate for
assessor prior to the populist conven-
ton and James Sutton for sheriff, but
both withdrew when it was learned
that new fund was to be created in
the financial department of the coun-
ty, to be known as the "Populist
Conscience Fund, into which a GER
tain portion of their salaries must be
turned. The gentlemen were too
hasty in taking the alarm. The par
ty was aboring under mistake
when the resolution was adopted.
The intentions were perhaps very
worthy, but the actual effect of the
resolutions would be to reduce
the pay of county officers scarcely
at all, and some, none. Had Mr..
Wilson taken the nomination for as
SCISSOR and been elected, the salary ir
his office would have been censidera
bly, reduced, but Mr. Sutton would
have received just as good, if MOI
better pay, than his predecessor, Mr.
Eckles.

MEN WILL ERR.

The peoples party said through its
convention that it had better man
than Smith for county auditor and it
named Harvey Anderson as the man.
We have nothing to say against Mr..
Anderson Of a disrespectful charac-
ter He is not incompetent and
would make as good, perhaps better,
officer than some of the auditors the
county has had in times past, but we
think the convention was mistaken
when it thought he could handle it to
better advantage to this county than
Mr., Smith. We think Mr.. Anderson
made a mistake in allowing himself
to be pitted against Mr. Smith at this
time, because the latter gentleman is
standing upon record that meets
with the approval of individual pop
ulists, democrats and republicans,
which will surely return him to the
office on an endorsement-term. Mr..
Anderson has n great many friends,
and could probably, under different
circumstances, be elected, but to our
mind it was unwise in him, if he re-
ally wished the Office sometime, to
allow his friends to run him against
an invincible opponent.

The fact that Hon. Carol d.
Wright, U. S Labor Commissioner,
has had Mr.. Pulman's pass to ride

country in his pocket ever since he
investigated" the Pullman company

Mr.. Wright's usefulness as member
of the present strike commission.

ROBBERS INSTRUMENTS.

Tue Oregonian says there is no
similarity between government con
troll of the postoflice and government
control of the railroads, and it leaves
one to conclude that because the rail
way corporations possess the only
means of carrying freight and pass
engers, they should not be disturbed
in their business; 1t says:
But there is no similarity, no analogy.
The government has no money invested
in transportation of mails 1t owns no
post roads. 1t has no horses, wagons.

ply hires persons who possess the instru-
ments that may be used in the transpOr-

like the ownership and operation of the
railroads of the government il would be
necessary for the government to own and

of the postoiilce department therefore
comes no more within any proper defini-

tract TO supply beef for the army, or the
administration of justice through the
courts.

Oregonian should make less of the
fact that the railway corporation

be used in transportation, and more

Up at payette hop picking is in
progress on the big seventy hop
farm near there. There are about
one hundred pickers at work, and as
this is the first hop crop ever picked
in Idaho much interest is manifested
and visitors are running over the
farm every day. The sight is deeply
instructive and interesting, according
to report The venture has proved a
success and the yield is wonderful,
apd right here we want to say to the
men around Weiser who are rolling
over the question of hop planting in
their minds, and few of whom have
put in a small patch for trial, that
experiment on their part is unneces-
sary. Let them go right now and
make an examination while the thing
is in full blast They can learn
everything they would wish to know.
They can see just as much as if they
bad visited the hop sections of Ore
gon and Washington. The insight
they will get into the hop industry
will be worth their time. Go and
look and let your judgment govern
the rest.

SAL1NA, Kan, May 10.-The war is
over. The intrepid Colorado contin-
gent OF the Commonweal which has
kept Colorado and Kansas in an uproar
for two days, has surrendered uncondi-
tionally to Marshal Neeley. They ware
450 strong, and every man is under
arrest. The surrender was made peace
ably. and the entire army is being taken
to Topeka for trial. The special train ia

trip.

stopped Marshal Nseley served the writs

ence between Sanders and his off GERS
and it WAS decided to camp there on the
prairie all night. Sanders asked per-
mission of the mayor for such proceed
ing and the request was quickly granted.
In few minutes there were two dozen
bright bonfires burning near the track
and party of hungry, tired Coxeyitea
around each. They hadlittle with them
to eat, but their mite was eked out by
contributions from citizens until by
O'Clock nearly all of the Commonweal-
ers had been fairly fed. Sanders him
self was invited to take supper with
Superintendent Clark in his private car
Magnolia and accepted the invitation.
To provide against surprises of any
kind, the east-bound mail train was
held to obstruct the track, and the
armed deputies were set to guard the
special.

number, 450 of them, to Topeka under

train was hitched to the train of pas
senger coaches. Into these coaches the
Commonwealers were bundled, and
about midnight the train started for
Topeka.
Marshal Neeley served the wrts on
the Coxeyites at Scott City with posse
OF 28 men. saying if they refused to sur
render the train, the government would

KANSAS Cry, May 10.-Sanders' reck-
less army OF Oommonwealers defed pur-
suit and laughed at obstacles again to-
day. Three times their stolen train
was reported stalled before cars and en-
gines purposely run off the track ahead
of them, and each time the railroad
officials believed they were masters Of
the situation. But in less time than it
took the railroad company to dump their
engines from the track at one place and
tear up the rails ct another, the go-ah
'Wealers had built q new track around
the feeble obstructions and relad the
torn-up rails. With their force of some-
thing over 400 men these undertakings
were but q few hours OF enjoyable recre-
alton for the 'Wealers. who, when rid
ing, were packed in their coal csra like
sardines in a can.
The army's sympathizers were hoping
that the daredevil band might run the
gauntlet of United States Marshal Nee
ley's hundred Winchesters and reach
Topeka without further molestation.
Once at the capital they believed the
train-steslers would be free from care
and penalty. The attitude of Gov. Lew
elling gave this idea encouragement,
