COUNTY POLITICAL GOSSIP.

THE present term OF the district
court and the Farmers Institute at
Ceur d. Alene have been great
events for the festive politicians.
They have lowered around the court
house in myriads and the Farmer 5
Institute brought out the whole
army. We learn that the follow
ing gentleman have aspirations"
or are being" mehtioned" or are ''in
the hands of their friends"
VIM. Ryan, our assessor thinks
he could fulfill the duties Of sheriff
with satisfaction to the taxpayers
and it is said he has a walkaway
for the nomination.
John J Costello, present sheriff,
would like to slip back into his old
position as assessor. This nomina-
ton John can probably have if he
wants it, but the election of dem
ocaat this fall is another problem.
John is a good man, but his depu-
ties, in some instances, will cause a
loss Of his popularity, but he will
never see it that way till it is too late.
G. w. Clarke, chairman Of board
of county commissioners, wants to
succeed Bob. Bragaw as auditor and
recorder and Bob wants to succeed
himself. Mr.. Bragaw has held the
office down for ten years and would
not object to four more. He is a
very aflicient offlcer-no question
about that. Mr.. Clark is equally
well qualified. We advise Mr.
Clarke, however, to counsel with
Mr.. Bragaw in regard to his press
franchises.
Mr.. J. P Quarrels, anothe.
of our county commissioners, ha
political aspirations. He will be
candidate for assessor before the re
publican convention. Geo. Il. Eli
the other county commissioner, ha
not announced himself yet, an,
there will probably not be an
great pressure brought to bear upol
him to again enter the politica
arena. Harry Baldwin, the rust
ing business man Of Sand Point,
a candidate for assessor before ii
republican convention. James ]
Russell, register Of the land off
at Ceur d Alene, is the republica
candidate Of that city for the non
nation of assessor.
Representative Crane desires
return to the legislature. If Il
republicans have big enough m
iority in the county he might PIT
through if nominated, but it won
take a mighty big lot Of explainil
to satisfy the people as to t
wherefores Of his broken promise:
Judge Holleman, our present d
trict judge, Senator Alex Maybe
of Shoshone, and Judge Harkne
of this place, are spoken Of

however, that he has no though
of being candidate. The two f,

and as tho material Itself is not expensive,
one feels that, for the sake Of good effect, a
little Bit more money can DO put in the lining.
Extravaganza in ribbon and laces for the
summer evening gowns Is really not money
thrown away, for the trimmings are always
useful. and It IS these things that give a
nice effect to very inexpensive costume.

The festival OF first huits, or tho Inachi, ~

Tonga, and always takes place about tho
middle Of July. Tho night preceding tho

Tonga boys persisted In blowing on eoneh

can produce with tho aid Of tin horns.

very dignlhod man, with huge rod iurpan
on his head, was accompanied by n body

with spears, and tho war clubs peculiar to
all these islands.
A pretty feature of this great occasion was
tho presence Of fwarming children, all 10
