Harry Madison and family and
Judge White and wife pulled out
Monday morning for the head waters
of the Malad, where they will camp
for several weeks.
There will be special meeting
of Guiding Star Lodge, Daughters
of Rebekah, tomorrow night for the
purpose of installing officers. All
members requested to be present.
HI. w. Tanner has returned from
strengthening expedition in
Montana. He says that at Louis
town, in that State, wool sold as
high as 10 Ia cents per pound, and
mutton sheep at So 80 per head.
Major Frank Cavanah of Boise
spent Friday and Saturday il. this
place on business connected with
his Rocky Bar mines-but some
are so unfair as to say he was sent
here by Shoup, Mcconnell & Co., to
endeavor to repair the Republican
fence in Gilmore.
Sundays Boise Statesma n SAYS:
The Carpenter farm near Mountain
Home was sold by United States
Marshall Crutcher yesterday to
satisfy judgement secured by c.
w. Howeth, of Mountain Home.
The property was bid in for Mr..
Howeth by his attorneys, Wyman
q Wyman, for $4,000
Where, oh where are the office
seekers? Two years ago they were
as thick as ticks in the sagebrush
in this section of Gilmore. To-day
not a solitary candidate has made
himself known. Probably they are
all ''in the hands of their friends
or waiting for Office to seek the
man."
The editor of the Shoshone Jour
nal must have had his eye cast
Mountain Homeward when he
penned the following: 1.-THE polit-
ieal hog is poor investment. He
serves but one purpose, aud that is
to "squeal if he don't get about
everything in sight" We would
not advise anybody to cultivate him
and yet he is preferable to the par
tisan donkey that knows only
enough to bray when the boss
cracks his whip. They are both
an incumbrance on any we'll regu
lated political farm.
The county commissioners last
Friday granted the petition of 9
majority of the taxpayers of Noun,
tain Home asking that the town bt
incorporated, boundaries established
and trustees appointed. w. C
Reynolds, A. b. Clark, L. T. Viii
cox, Geo. f. Mahoney and w. j
Turner were appointed trustees tt
serve until the second Monday ir
April, 1897, when an election viii
be held for city officers. Thes,
gentlemen will carefully guard thu
interests of our people and frown
upon extravaganza in conducting
town matters. They have 20 days
to organize and put the wheels o
city government in motion.
The BULLETIN has always hell
Senator Shoup in high esteem, an,
now, although widely differing Oh
the main political issues before tn
people, we accord to him the ut
most sincerity in his views. Las
Thursday Senator S. issued in circu
lar form a conservative but strong
address to the Republicans of 1dah
to stand by Mckinley in the COMM
campaign: He favors McKin.e,
electors and the nomination of

governor to precinct constable
The issue is now plainly drawn be
tween the Shoup Republicans an
the Dubois Republicans, and th
Democrats and Populists can hol,
their breath and watch the struggl
for supremacy by the two wings {

SAID TO BE A FAKE.

The report sent out from Ashland that
John j. Thornton, formerly of this place,
was killed Monday night is false. 1t Is
mystery to us why any one should
manufacture any such reports TO deceive
the reading public.-Coosa Advocate.
The State Herald was the paper i'm
posed upon, ard through it other jour
nails il the above from the Coosa. Advo-
cate is correct, and we have no reason
to doubt the Advocate, as it was claimed
in the news item Mr. Thornton was fronl
Coosa county, wherein the Advocate is
printed.
In justice to our readers we Will say that
private letter accompanied the report
of the murder, asking the publication,
that the public might be on the lookout
for the criminal Also both the letter
ard report were written by a lady. No
imposter did the work-this paper re-
ceives too many letters not to be able to
detect any effort to initiate or deceive.
The only thing that appeared suspicious
was the receipt of a letter from a gentle
man located in another portion of the
county where the reported crime was
committed, asking that the matter be
published. and If there was any charge
it would be Paid.
The State Herald is now on the hunt
for the private letters and if found will
print them with their signatures at
tached, in case the paper has been i'm
posed upon as indicated by the Advo-
cate. People who would be guilty of
such action ought to be known to the
public as well as to their neighbours.

pRoRARr,y REGAIN TOO LATE.

If Ex-Governor w. j. Northen had
turned his attention to immigration and
established in Georgia the town of Fitz-
gerald before the man who makes two
blades of grass grow this year where only
one grew last year ceased to be public
benefactor, he would have established for
himself a great name as public benefac-
tor and have so endeared himself to the
people of Georgia that they would at least
have rewarded him with seat in the
United States senate.
But since 1t has been established that
all the ills to- which this country has fall
en- heir since confidence was restored in
1898 are traceable to overproduction, and
therefore the man who succeeds In max
ing two blades of grass grow this year
where only one grew last year has been
proven to be public enemy, we are not
so certain that the Georgia ex-governor
has not been engaged in doing the people
of his own state and of the country at
Birmingham state herald. (Birmingham, Ala.) 1895-1897, 1896-12-22

large considerable damage since he re-
tired from the gubernatorial chair few
years ago.
The ex-governor is entitled to the dis
tinction, however, of being today the most
active citizen in his state in causing more
new acres of land to be cleared up and
cultivated, and, as a matter of course,
more products raised to help glut the
markets and bring on business stagnation
and industrial paralysis.
The town of Fitzgerald, established a
year or two ago in southeast Georgia by
Ex-Governor Northen, now has popula-
ton of 5000. The territory in and around
Fitzgerald is being rapidly filled with u
hardy and thrifty class of immigrants
from the northwest.
The Savannah News says $50 families
are ready to start for Georgia from the
country about Duluth, Mimi, and that
this is only the advance guard of host
of irnmigrants'' expected before the
spring.
What ex-Gov. Northen has succeeded
in doing in Georgia would only few
years ago have justly entitled him to the
thanks OF every citizen of his state. How
it will be now, though, depends upon flu
ture developments. If we are to continue
to suffer because we produce too much,
we would not advise the Georgia ex-Gov-
ernor to press his work, and certainly
would not like to see any others following
in his footsteps. If, however, the day
ever comes again when the man who can
make two blades of grass grow this year
where only one grew last year is to be
regarded as a public benefactor we shall
delight in citing the success which has
attended the efforts of ex-Gov. Northen
as an encouragement to others who earn
estly desire to do their country good SER

Last night, at $50 o'clock, at the resi-
dence of Judge N. A. Sharpe, on Fifth
avenue, North, Miss Augusta Mae
Sharpe was welded to Mr.. William Mudd
Jordan, Rev. o. p. Fitzsimmons, rector
of st. Mary n-the-a ighlands, offici-
ating. The bridal couple left for San
Francisco on the 1920 Kansas City,
Memphis and Birmingham train, where
DR.. Jordan has been assigned to duty as
assistant surgeon in the United States
Marine hospital service.
Miss Augusta is the eldest daughter of
Judge and Mrs. Sharpe. She is lady
of rare accomplishments, and for several
months was the society editresS of the
Birmingham Evening News. Since her
advent into society she has been one of
the reigning bellies of Birmingham.
DR.. Jordan is son of the late Dr.
M. II. Jordan, one of the most prom
inent physicians Birmingham has ever
had, and a grandson Of the late Judge
William s. Mudd
The marriage was to have occurred
Wednesday night but owing to orders
secured from the surgeon-general to re-
port for duty earlier than was expected,
rendered it necessary to have the nup-
tials last night in order to visit his post
on time.
The friends of the young couple, and
they embrace almost every citizen or

Their that while all this was going on it
would open the mills and restore gen.
eral and permanent prosperity to the
country. A number of the leading re-
publican papers of the country appear
to think that all their party has to do
is to keep up the cry that 6,5O0,0oO of the
voters of this country want to destroy
the government. 1t strikes us that the
republican rarty had better get to work
to give the country the promised relief
and rely on that to bring to it the in
dorsement of the people two years from
now rather than denuncations of a very
large minority of the voters of the coun-
try.

 KANSAS CITY, May 27.-The people living in the northeastern part of the city are fearful of a plague of seven- teen-year locusts. Thousands have come out of the ground and are feeding on the foliage of the trees. The eggs are deposited beneath the bark of the trees or in the ground and are matched quickly.
 IA man living near the corner of h. dependence avenue and the Porter road observed some small holes in the ground a few days ago and, turning up a spadeful of earth he found ten locusts almost ready to take wings.
 He pursued his investigation and dis covered that the ground was fairly alive with locusts of all degrees of de- velopment from the grub to the winged
