The Moscow Mirror, Gov. McConnell's
home organ, contains among other
things the following political rot:
Idaho will soon bury the Sweet car
cas- and then the sickening stencil OF
political dishonor will no longer shock
the senses Of honest men and they BE-
compelled to endure it. The good re-
putlicans OF C,eus d'Alene city are
deserving the sympathy of the people
for being compelled to endure the i'm
positions OF the Seott-Sweet crowd, but
they are not alone in the stencil. La
tab county has its share and more,
because the main carcass claims this Us
its home"
When it is remem bered that the Mir
ror- Mcconnell crowd ut the state con-
vention resorted to the most corrupt
methods to carry things people will no,
be slow to see the point attempted to be
made in the above-a thief will always
cry stop, theft" and when the Mirror
speaks of 1.-The sickening stencil Of po-
li,ical dishonor" it receives its inspira.
ton through the stencil arising from its
own political surroundings. When Nc
Council pulls the string the Mirror
monkey jumps.

The county division question 10 before
the legislature in the shape Of . bill In.
troduced by Representative Henry 10
create the county OF Bonner out Of the
northern portion Of Kootenai. Asynop-
sic Of the bill is published in smother
column. That this county must Be
divided sooner or later every one admits,
but some viii claim that division should
not take place during the present bust
ness depression on the ground that We
are unable to bear the expense. So far
- the old county or south part Of Koot-
enai 10 concerned it will make but very
little differences and we believe there
would be an actual net saving OF several
thousand dollars year in court expen-
SEES, mileage and from other sources.
The new county would alsO have some
thing to gain by being established
during the dull times. 1t would start
in under conditions nscessitating the
strictest economy in county government
and the people wonli see tha, their Ger
wants practiced it. Once started in this
way they would be more apt to continue
upon that line. KootenAi, with her
present boundaries is too large and We
believe that division on the proposed
line is for the best interests OF the peo-
pie.

THE GOVERNORS MESSAGE.

The message o. Governor Mcconnell
to the legislators is q very able document
and deals intelligently with the affairs
of state and county. No matter what
the personal feelings OF individuals may
be toward the Governor all who have
read his message must ad,nit that his
Recommendations are wise, in the interest
OF economy, lower taxes and much need
Ell reform in both state and county gLy
ernment.
lie starts off by show ing that no state
In the union presents more varied re
sources than Idaho and then goes on to
show the urgent necessity of reform in
financial affairs. lie recommends the
most rigid economy in conducting
county business.
In regard to taxation lie recommends
. that the state levy be reduced frcm
eighty-ive TO sixty cents on the hun
drai dollars. Also that \ new Zee BIZ
be enacted that will cut down official

THg Bonner's Ferry Herald

The Bonner's Ferry Herald comments
very forcibly on the senatorial question
as follows: THE Herald wishes to en-
phasize the fact that it is not alone the
loss OF the eloquent and able Will.
Sweet that is to be regretted and Ia
mented by the people Of Idaho if Mr..
Sholp is returned to the senate, but it
also means an attempt to undermine
and retire Senator Fred T. Dubois two
years from now. Senator Tubois il
worth more to Idaho in particular and
the West in general at this time and for
the next d, cade to come than Shoup,
Mcconnell and Hepburn combined.
The friends OF the senior senator should
gee to it that no man is sent To the upper
house from this state this time who will
impair the gentlemsn's chances for re-
election"

The retiring county officers have
served the public in a very satisfactory
manner the past two years and all OF
them retire to private life with q good
record to their credit. The new officers
are men we'll and fsvorably known TO
the people, some OF them having filed
office before, and we have no doubt they
will prove worthy of the confidence and
trust reposed in them.

naturally adapted to maritime pursuits
should have been so held back in COM
merce as the American people have
been. The reason is no doubt due to the
.ap.d settlement and development Of the
great West, which resulted in distract
ng the attention of the American people
II large from the "spoils of the sea"
Yet. as a matter of fact, the population
Of our Atlantic seaboard has never lost
rs taste for nor skill in seafaring ways.
This has always been shown in our great
ooastwise ctnmerce, and in our ability
1t any time > build faster ships than
any other nation
Il is not generally known that we have
college for young mariners in this city
Tbs is the Webb Training School for
ioung Mariners, at Fordham Heights.
william H. Webb was one OF the great
est OF our shipbuilders in past genera
ctun. He grew rich at the trade, ana
win l3rge-hearted generosity, establish
I'd n this city two institutions that are
unique in their way. One is the Manual
Training School for Young Shipbuilders
and the other the Home for Superani-
;nated Shipbuilders and their wives. How
significant are these two institutions of
American love for the sea!
Seven of the pupils of the Webb school
started this week in boat of their own
building for a tour of the great lakes.
Il is proposed next year to have the
young mariners build a vessel big
enough 10 cross the ocean and return.
These two notable Institutions found
ed by Mr.. Webb, were formally opened
in May, 1894. They are located on one
Of The hills in the delightful old village
D: Fordh4n, and surrounded by spacious
wooded grounds. The school is well
,,&:rcnized, and has a number Of pupils
from the West. 1t possesses naval
'iuseum, in which are placed models of
all the best modern vessels There is
little reason TO think that our country
will lack for ship designers or builders
IN the future, when the Herreshoffs and
NiXons shall have passed away.
The strike Of the Brotherhood of Tail
ors seems to have been a success this
time, and we are promised an abate-
ment Of the sWeat-shop system al last.
A year ago the tailors made a desperate
fight to secure higher wages, but the
strike resulted in a total failure. No
doubt better market and better prices
have made the contractors more yield
ing al the present time. The making OF
garments has become one Of the largest
industries in our city, and it is mostly
in foreign hands. The employers and
employees are mostly Hebrews, who
have come here SO numerously during
the past few years from Russia and Po-
land. There are about 700 shops in this
city. The present strike has been con-
Quoted with rare regard for order and
individual right. No outrages of any
kind have been committed, and publc |
has been with the strikers.

A Much-Puzzied Husband,

There is one married man living who
was badly frightened the other night.
He sent note to his wife about g
o'clock to say that he would not be
home until late. The messenger boy,
when he delivered the note to the wife,
happened to mention that he had gone to
the wrong house, and had been very
wrathfully treated by a man for dis
turbing him. The wife read the note
which was on a scrap of paper. She
thought q minute. Then she said to the
messenger boy:
I'll give you a shilling If you will
take the note back to my husband. and
tell him that story without saying that
you came here at ALL
The boy pocketed the money and went
back to the husband with the note.
We'll. why do you bring this back?"
he asked.
Because they wouldn't take it. A
man came to the door. and told me if I
didn't go away he would break my neck
for me-"
The husband did not stay out late
that evening. On the contrary, he got
home as fast as the underground train
could take him. He looked susDiciously
at his wife, and said:
i sent note, but the boy must have
taken 1t to the wrong house"
Il suppose So said the wife, fnno-

Cold-StoreG UnderclOthes.

Cold storage for underclothes is the
latest novelty in the big downtown re-
frigerators. One Of the warehouse own
ars was taken by surprise the other day
when he received an application 20 cold
store several hundred cases of woole1
underwear. The application came from
one of the largest wholesale dry-goois
houses in the city, and the storage man
was at first tempted to treat the matter
as a joke. He took the goods, and later
discovered the reason for the innovation.
II seems tina. this has been an unusually
brisk season for moths. The industrious
but destructive moth millers had DIS
covered the unsold underclothing lying
in the big stores and had proceeded &c
take possession Of it IN swarms. Finally
some one suggested that the pesky in
sects should be frozen out. Application
was at once made for cold storage room
and the goods are now stacked up in I'll
atmosphere where the tempera ,ure
stands at % degrees, and where boys
play at SNOWFALL on these hot August
days.
If the experiment. of freezing out the
moths proves a success the cold storage
men will have opened a new and prof.
able avenue for turning an honest penny
and people buying clothes will no lon.
ger fear the corrupting moth.

The Lawyer Solved it Quickly.

A famous lawyer once had a singular
case to settle. A doctor came to him in
great distress. Two sisters, living in
the same house, had babies of equal
age. who so resembled each other that
their mothers were unable to disttn-
guish them when they were together,
and it happened that by the careless
ness of the nurse the children had be-
come mixed. How were the mothers to
make sure that they received back their
own infants?
"But perhaps" suggested the lawyer,
'the children weren't changed at ALL"
oh, but there's no doubt that they
were changed said the DOCTOR
"Are you sure of it?''
Perfectly
well, if that's so, why don't you
change them back again? I don't see
any difficulty in that case"-London

NO COUNTRY FOR CHILLs.
Aud Quinine Was a Drug on the Market
and Not to be Given Away

The Colonel suggested that 7 take
along a package Of quinine in my ride
through the swamp country, as the
towns were far apart and the drug be-
yond the reach OF many settlers. A. 9
o'clock in the morning I reached cabin.
to find the owner and his wife and three
children sitting out in the sun. All had
blue lips and haggard faces, and all were
sh.vering with chill. / told the man I
would leave him some quinine. and was
about to undo the package when he stop

On the door step of the next cabin
sat lone man. He was trying to scrape
the bark off sassafras root. but he
shook and shivered so hard that no
could make no progress. I told him 1
haa some quinine as free gift, but he
held up his shaking hands and replied:
Stranger, this hain't no chillin' TO be
cured by kee-nine, but is jist narvous-
ness for the want of sip of whiskey.

road

at the next cabin found a woman and
two children on the bed and two more
