Hon. j. w. Reid met with a serious
accident Saturday evening as he ana
mr. Scnriock were at a political meet
Ing. About mile the other side ~
the ferry Mr.. Reid's horse. which had
not been driven for several weeks took
fright at some peculiar rocks In the
road and began acting ugly. Mr.. Sour
lock jumped but Mr.. Reid STAYED IN
the buggy and finally quieted the ami
mai. At the time this was done tho
hind wheels were Just passing over the
bank and carried horse, buggy and Mr..
heid over, with fall of about fifteen
feet The horse and buggy turned
completely over, the horse lighting on
his feet and the buggy right side I'M

tnred his collar bone and received
other painful though not serious
wounds. Though considerably disfig.

Cheering Signs.

The last monthly statement of ex-
ports and imports is unusually encour-
aging for season of political disturb
ance.
The merchandise exports for last
month exceed those of August, 1895,
by nearly sli,OO0,O0O. For the last
eight months they are nearly 500. 0O0,-
600 in excess of the exports for the
same period of last year.
The imports OF merchandise show a
decrease. but the imports OF gold were
s4,0i4 ,ss5, as compared with sI,53l, OS6.
On the other hand, the gold exports
fell in August as compared with Au-
gust OF last year nearly $4,000, 900.
The flow Of gold from Europe contin-
ues at a rate which assures freedom
from anxiety on that score until the
financial issue is settled in November.
The reports show that we are selling
TO Europe and are not settling the bal
ance by the liquidation OF indebted
ness or by the purchase of securities.
All the conditions point TO a rapid re
yival Of business TO high mark with a
return Of certainty on the money ques-
ton. Republic.

Somebody's BOYS.

Somebody boys were noisy and dis
turbed the league and church services
at the M. f. Church last Sunday even
ing. Yes, somebody's boys.
This was such an unusual occurrence
that THE News cannot refrain from
making mention OF il. They congre-
gated at the door and talked and
laughed and whistled and ran around
TO the annoyance OF many worshippers
In the church. We trust IL will never
be repeated.
Parents would do well to accompany
the little fellows TO church and see
that they behave themselves or else
keep them at home after the curtains
OF night are lowered.
Miss siebold sang beautifully and
most pathetically that night as solo:
"oh! Where is My Boy To-night?"
and at the same moment some little
fellows were running around and were
noisy on the outside. We know not a
single parent in Blackfoot would know
ingly allow this, and we do all the favor
by calling attention to the unusual oc-
currence Of last Sunday evening.

Herburn and shoup at Biacafoot

Judge Hepburn and Hon. James NJ.
Shoup addressed splendid audience
In the court room, Blaekfoot, Friday
evening, Sept. Is. The audience, how
ever, was made up very largely of la
dies, Democrats, Silver Republicans
and Populists.
Mr.. shoup was the first speaker and
filled his time for an hour. Judge
Hepburn followed for the same time,
and both gentleman labored to make a
good speech out of an unfamiliar sub
jcct. Both gentlemen had been talk
ing free silver too many years TO grow
eloquent over the gold standard and
McKinleyism in q few campaign weeks.
Blackfoot remembered the Judge as a
strong and forceful speaker, but this

HILL FoR BRYAN.
He rs Opposed to the Chicago
Platform, but BeHeres the
Act Polite.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., Sept. 1S.--Sen-
ator Hill has written letter TO La
mont, in which he declares his inten-
tion to support Bryan and Sewall. and
gives his reasons. In his letter Sena-
tor Hill says that, bad as the Chicago
platform is, and unacceptable as the
ticket Is In many respects, it is his
duty to accept the decision Of the Ma
tional Convention and support its can
didates. In doing this the Senator is
emphatic in his reiteration of the
speech he made in the Chicago Com
yention in opposition to the doctrine it
was determined to put forth as the
party faith. Senator Hill distinctly
states that he does not withdraw nor
depart from the language of the senti-
ment OF the speech of protest he made
at that time.
Senator Hills explanation of how,
after that speech and his determine
ton TO stand by it, he can support Mr..
Bryan and the platform he then de-
nounced, is twofold.
First, he regards the control and di-
reeting Of the Democratic party in
New York State as being in great dam
ger. He fears that il things are allow
ed to drift. If all the leading Demo-
Gratis fiout their regular National ticket.
If there is no one TO hold the party in
the path OF true Democracy, which he
believes alone will lead in time TO vic
tory, the party organization will fall
into unworthy hands, will be diverted
from its true aims and purposes, and
will wander in the wilderness OF de-
feat for years to come.
His other reason for supporting
Bryan and Sewall is that he feels he
has been forced to do so by the action
of the National Democratic party at
Indianapolis. The Senator wishes dis
tinctly TO be understood that he is nei-
Their silver monometallist nor gold
monometallist, but Simon-pure bi.
metallist. He sees no choice, so far as
monometallism is concerned, between
the Chicago platform and the one
adopted at indianapolis. The former
practically advocates silver standard
while I'll. latter, for the first time in
the history Of any convention calling
itself Democratic, comes out aat-footed
for the use of gold alone.
The senator intimates that he wa,
very much disappointed by this actor
at indianapolis.

OF the iron shoe on the cane. An in

shoulder. Fortunately his Excellency
