on its presentation here last season bids
fair to be duplicated on this occasion, as
there is already brisk demand for seats
Northern Lights is typical American
drama. All its scenes, all its characters
and its whole atmosphere are American.
The Indians of the far West and the troops
of Uncle Sam figure largely in the story.
The play Is frankly and refresi,ingly true
to the life the authors have set themselves
to picture; namely, the life OF the frontier
soidierhood in the regular army at time
when such life was somewhat richer In
heroic opportunity than today.
The daily features of soldier life n
Montana in 1876 are pictured wildly,
honestly, most interestingly; and in the
result the American will recognize hir:-

From the Wood River Times, we clip
the following political speech of our
townsman
J. S. Waters
said that he was full to overlooking.
He did not know that he could get any
fuller than he was tonight. He had
been Republican since 1856. He was
sorry to say. since it had proved recre-
ant to it's duty, that he helped to rock
the cradle of the Republican party.
Four years ago he said: 81 won't
support the Republican ticket. " Then
the democratic party nominated that
incubus-Grover Cleveland. What was
he to do? He stayed with the parry of
protection. Now he could afford to en-
dorse the nomination of Bryan at Chi
cago, and the Populists could afford to
indorse it too. II call upon anybody
here, who wants to, to get up and say
he will oppose the platform adopted at
Chicago. There is not oneH

An application for charter OF the Sill

81 men, this order is we'll known, and
has strong lodges at Bellevue, HALEY
Ketchum, Challis and many other places
throughout the state, and no doubt the
lodge at this place will be thrifty one.
Here is a wrinkle, how to get ice-cold
water in places where there is no ice.
Wrap a porous jug in wet flannel; wrap
it all around, leaving no place exposed
to the air, place it, filled with water, in
an open window exposed to all the air
there is. Keep the flannel wet. In half
an hour the contents of that jug will be
as cold as if there had been ice in them.
On Sunday evening, some boys who
were in bathing near the ice house, com
menced to cry for help, and several citi-
zens nearly killed themselves to reach
the bathing pool, thinking some boy was
drowning, but when they reached the
spot they found the alarm to be false,
and the boys explained it by saying they
only wanted to see who was the best
foot racer in town. Such work should
be stopped, for if an accident should oc-
cur no attention would be paid to their
cries for help, and some boy would pay
for this foolishness with his life.
A horrible accident occurred in the
Shoshone yards, at about noon. an Mon
day last, and in which, Dick Valley lost
his life Valley was employed as a sec
ZION laborer by the U. P, but on Mon
day he was working on the gravel train.
The train was backing into the yards at
about II miles an hour, and as the con-
ductor had some switching to do, he
pulled pin of the caboose to let it run up
the main line, that he might set his
train of empty fiat cars on the stockyard
track Valley was on the last fiat car
while his lunch was in the caboose, and
seeing that it was cut loose from the
train. he made jump for the platform,
and missing his footing, he fell between
the rails and Is cars passed over his
body before the train could be stopped.
He was dragged about 20 feet and was
terribly mutilated. both legs and one
arm were cut off and the body entirely
disem boweled. Death must have been
But little is known of
him here, more than he told some of
the men with whom he worked, that he
came from Canada and had no family.
He was of French descent and about As
years of age. The following is the YER
