IDAHO PEOPLE GET RESTLESS.
Some Politicians Declare Neither Shoup

some politicians Declare Neither ShOup
Nor Sweet VIII Win.
Boise, Jan. 30.-It is the growing opin-
ion among astute politicians that both
Sweet and Shoup are beaten and that
before long there will be concentration
on some new man. Sweets leaders de-
ny that their men will ever leave him,
but a different sentiment is privately
found among some members on that
side. Shoup supporters feel the same
way toward their candidate.
Three votes We're taken for senator
today without change and resulted
Shoup 20, Sweet 10. Clagett Is. One bal
lot was taken at high noon and re-
cess taken until 2 o'clock, when two
more were taken. In the meantime,
the Sweet men had held caucus and
resolved to move for a recess until II
O'Clock tomorrow. Under the recent
ruling of Speaker Cozier this would
suspend all business of the house, he
having held that the house could not
sit during a recess of the joint conven-
ton. The motion was made by Crane,
but Wyman moved to dissolve. The
latter took precedence and was carried
by a vote of 80 to "a The Sweet men
seem determined to push matters and
are inclined to tie up everything until
conclusion is reached on senator
ship.
Tomorrow a paper will be issued in
Mr., Sweets interest, edited by Ben
Rich of the Rexburg Silver Hammer
and A. j. Mcdonald of the Rathdrum
Post. 1t seems settled that populists
will not go to either candidate.

CANAL INDIAN TROUBLE.
Belief That the Government Has Asked
for Federal Troops.

Tor Federal Troops.
Genesee, Idaho, Jan. 2S-Au is not
quiet on the Nez Perez reservation now.
Inc Canal Indians are on the warpath.
1t seems they are not satisfied with the
treaty and many of them are now
camped at Fort Lapwai and are talk
ing saucy to the Nez Perces. Colonel
Lane has been at the fort some 10 DAYS
taking the census of the Indians and
making the necessary list preparatory
for paying the first appropriation of
$6o0O00. The Indian police have been
busy the past week keeping the Canal
Indians in check. 1t Was stated In Cen
esee Saturday that telegram had been
sent to Washington for federal troops.
Things are beginning to look a little like
trouble on the reservation now, and it
may be necessary for troops to keep the
Canal Indians in submission.
The following petition was circulated
in Genesee Saturday and was signed
by many of the leading populists of
Genesee:

and John S. Randolph, in Legislature
Boise, Idaho:
1t is the unqualified wish of the pop
ulist party of Latah county that you
stay with Claggett until the end, but if

that you support Hon. Willis Sweet for
United States senator, by all means"
