A STRANGE CEREMONY.

AAoer Years of Supposedly Welded Life
couple Come to Idahe to Make Their
marriage Valid.-A Pathetic Meetine of
Two Brothers.
Last Tuesday mornings passenger
train brought into Rathdrum Young
couple hailing from one Of the leading
cities of Washington, who came here,
ostensibly to have tied secure the nup-
tlal knot, which was done quietly by
Judge Melder at his office. From their
general demeanor no one would have
suspected them to be a bridal couple.
and had they not been required to get.
license, and cautioned the Judge to
keep the matter a secret for few
days no one would have been the Wis
er as to their mission to this place.
Immediately after the ceremony the
bridegroom sought the editor, inform
ing us OF the event and requesting
that the item be withheld from the
public. This unusual request coupled
with the strange demeanor of the pair
was sufficient to arouse anyone's curl
oSity and we set about to investigate
the facts in the matter which, although
interesting, were not exactly what was
anticipated. To make good the
pledge which was given we shall with
hold the names of the parties con-
cerned in the matter.
1t was learned the couple had been
married for years, and that the union
had already been blessed with one or
more children. They were married
in Washinton the laws of which state
forbid the marriage of first cousins,
which is the relation existing between
this couple. Until recently these two
were ignorant of the law on this point,
but when the truth was learned no
time was lost to make their marriage
valid, hence their trip to Idaho, our
laws being more liberal, as a mar
riage of first cousins in this state is
legal.
To increase the tinge Of romance
connected with this case another Incl
dent occurred while this couple was in
Rathdrum which, however. concerned
only the bridegroom. He met here a
brother whom he had not seen for
nine yearsOr more and of whose where
abouts he had not the least knOwl-
edge. A meeting took place and the
scene which followed was most affect
ing. The brother of whom we speak
is at present prisoner in the county
iail

to the Limit TO Prevent Glove
Contests.

Austin, Tex. July Ex-Governor Gull
berson this afternoon issued the follow
ing proclamation in regard to tns Cor
ctt-Fitzsimmons fight:
whereas, Fighting with or without
gloves is expressly prohibited by the
law of this state and any person who
acts as second, stakeholder, counsellor
or adviser, or who should render aid
of any such character in any such fight
is a principal in such offense; and
Whereas, 1t is the duty of the police
officers to prevent attractions of the
said law. as we'll as to cause offendersl
to be apprehended and punished, fGT'
which ample provision is made; and
Whereas, 1t is believed the said law
has been and is being further violated
and further violations thereof are con-
templated and are now being openly
provided for: and
Whereas, Such fragrant defiance will
bring disrepute upon and foster spirit
of disobedience of all laws; and
Whereas, The effect of such encoun-
ter, besides showing a contemptuous
disregard for our law, will tend to make
Texas the seat of the offenses prohib-
tied by most all of the states of the
Union; and
Whereas, Any supposed pecuniary
benefit resulting therefrom will be
clearly acquired at the expense of the
will of the people; and
Whereas, Texas, with her hospitable
and intelligent population and limitless
resources, needs not the incentive of
violations of the law to induce immi-
grafton or investment; and
Whereas, The constitution of the
state enjoins that the executive shall
cause the laws to be faithfully ex-
ecuted;
NOW I, therefore. c. A. Culberson,
! governor of the state of Texas, by vir-
tue of the authority vested in me by
the constitution and the laws thereof.

charged with such duties, both to pre-
vent the commission of such offenses
and cause the offenders to be punished
and all persons contemplating full in
fractions of the said law are warned
to desist therefrom and are put upon
notice that to the limit or the executive
authority I shall take care that the
law is faithfully executed to the end
that such offenses may DE prevented
and the offenders punished.
I'm witness thereof I have hereunto
set my hand and caused the seal or the
state to be affixed in Austin. this. the

Elijah Smith Will Probably Make

THE UNION PACIFIC, TOO
Mcneil People Fear That the Proposed
Reorganization May Bene lit the
Gould Railroad.

Portland Or, July 2S.-The Oregonian
says:
When Elijah Smith. president Of the
Oregon Improvement Company, left the
city two weeks ago for New York it was
announced that he was to visit that
city mainly for the purpose of reorgan-
izing the board of directors chosen at
the recent election. which turned down
the Starbuck administration. 1t is now
understood that Mr.. Smith is interest
ing himself in the affairs of the Oregon
Railway & Navigation Company, too,
and that his present visit to New York
may result in another surprise equal in
interest, if not results, to that occa-
stoned by his victory in the Oregon Inn
provement Company election.
1t is not impossible that a majority
of stock in the Oregon Railway & Nav
igation Company might go to support
Mr.. Smith in a fight for control 1t was
given out two montne ago that an eff
fort was being made to reorganize the
Oregon Railway & Navigation Com
pany and put it's affairs in such shape
that it could be taken out of the hands
of the court and the receivership.

THE SOUTHERN PACIFIC NOT ASLEEP
Meets the Rates to Utah Points Made by
the Union Pacific.


San Francisco, July 2S.-The South
ern Pacific company has become in
volved in an interesting squabble with
the eastern roads doing business in
Utah territory. A few weeks ago the
eastern lines reduced their freight rates
on a long line of commodities from east
ern points to Utah. To protect it's own
interests and incidentally the inter
ests of local producers and manufact-
urers, who have to compete with the
eastern rates in the Utah territory, the
Southern Pacific put in a reduced tariff
on such commodities as are manufact-
ured or reproduced in California and find
a market in that territory. This latter
tariff went into effect on June q. The
lines in Utah objected to the Southern
Pacific company's rates and notified
General Freight Agent c. F. Smurr
that they would not join in them. This
left the Southern Pacific without a line
east of ogden which was willing to join
in the reduced tariff, and left no other
alternative but to withdraw the objec-
tionable tariff. An order has accord
ingly been issued canceling the objec-
tionable tariff, but accompanying it is
a new tariff to take the place of the one
Cancelled. 1t fixes reduced rates on all
the commodities over which the present
contest was started, but the rates only
| apply to ogden, the end of the com
panys line in Utah.

Newmarket of Hugh McCalmont, the
well-known sportsman, and the ousting
of Sir George Newnes by a strong ma
jority. is a great victory for the turf

formed to work against candidates who
supported the anti-gambling agitation
and a black list drawn up. The result
has been the defeat of Is anti-gamblers,
namely, Messrs. Nacroji, Conybere,
