Fishback to visit Washington not long ago. A general statement of the amount claimed by each was submitted to Secretary Smith, and an agreement reached which will be transmitted to Gov. Fishback for his concurrence

The Hot Springs school board has been mandamused by a committee representing the colored citizens of the city through their attorneys, Wood & Henderson, to compel the board to furnish school accommodations for the colored children.

could possibly compensate for.
This Is different kind of song from
that which has been sung heretofore.
For the first time in the history OF
Idaho our lawmakers seem to have

This is encouraging. 1t affords a
basis for the hope that in time the

high degree.-Wood River Times.
