bush to call us Il 'liar." 1t did not

What Is II ?
While cleaning out his well at his
residence few days ago, Mr.. Wal
ton was surprised to see peculiar
substance rushing in from one side,
that resembled soap suds, but more
dense and of grayish color, which
fioated on the surface of the water.
When dry it will pulverize easily,
and contains very little grit. A
quart bottle of the substance was
saved which will be sent TO the state
University for an analysis.

This community was shocked to
learn of the death OF Thomas Clay,
whose body was found in Goose
creek, Thursday, Aug IL, 1896
Mr.. Clay left home that morning
to go to moving on the Shepard
ranch. His step-son, Edward l. Os
born, who WAS working in the same
field, noticed Mr. Clay's team stand
ing alone for quite a while and at
last went over to see il anything was
the matter He found the body ly-
ing in the water, got it to the bank
and summoned help. After an ex-
animation of the place, it was de-
cidcd that he must have tainted or
been dead before he struck the water
He had evidently gone to the creek
to obtain drink as his foot prints
were plainly visible His health has
been poor all summer and source
of anxiety to his family who have
vainly tried to persuade him to give
up work
Mr.. Clay was one of our pioneers
He came to Idaho in the early sixtie!
and has been identified with this por
ton of the state ever since He ha
been engaged III various pursuits
in mining, as mail carrier and at on
time part owner of the Hot Spring
near Warrens For the past 10 yeai
y he has been resident of this vale
and extensively engaged in dairyin
e and cattle raising

THE SIGN Al
The Teachers Institute

The Ieachers' institute
The event of most Importance in
the school life Of the county during
the ensuing year is the introduction
into the ungraded schools of the
Course of Study now in the hands of
the State Superintendent. Manifold
difficulties will present themselves in I
adopting this graded course to the
ungraded schools Many vexed points
arise Pres. Knepper has devoted
two days to the task of explaining
the work to be done and the way to
do it. He brings to his aid twenty
years experience in the graded and1
ungraded schools of the country.
He knows from personal experience
absolutely whereof he speaks. The
presentation has been such as no
teacher in the county could afford to
miss In fact not one session has
been without practical value.
On Saturday morning Supt Muer-
man gave description of the battle
field of Saratoga The lecture was
based on three months visit to the
locality and teemed with facts Of
personal interest.
In geography the work done is a
decided advance over the old method
of memorizing valueless details.
Exports and imports and transporta-
ton were the heads for two interest
ing discussions.
Theory and practice in teaching,
and civil government, thave both been
handled in the ablest manner. The
effort made to cause the teachers to
think In fact, the whole purpose
of the Institute has been to awaken
the teachers.
If any Institute has ever been sue
cessful, this surely has been.
The teachers will leave with the
conviction of time we'll spent, feeling
their responsibilities more deeply
but with greater ability to meet them
"Teaching is noble profession bu
a sorry trade" The sooner it il
made life work and not a stepping
stone for something else, the bette
for all concerned
These points have been presses
home That the teachers must hav
adequate preparation. They mus
read. They must think. They mus
at some cost supply themselves wit
professional literature This bein
done an honest, conscientious teache
cannot fail of some degree of success
Many people of Weiser, not teacl
ers, have visited the sessions. The
have gone away, only to come agair
and a number have enrolled as actiS
workers. This is as it should b.
The more general the interest take
in our schools, the better work W
they do.
The work closes Friday mornin
President Knepper and Superinten
ent Muerman will carry with theI
when leaving, the respect and G
TEEN of all with whom they ha
come in contact, and will leave
hind them hearty appreciation
the good work done among us.

Washington, d. c., Oct. 90 lSpe-
cial. "A man, whose name is known to
a certain Democratic leader, reached
the city to-day from North Carolina,
and went Immediately to see promi-
nent Republican to report the result
of his mission to North Carolina. He
took $4,000 with him to use to buy
the electoral vote of the State for Nc
Kinley. He reports that he made all
necessary arrangements, left the
money, and is confident that he has
bought the electoral vote for Mckinley.
There is a history about how a few
Democrats here caught on TO the ar
rival of the man, and learned of his
mission. The Republican leader, to
whom he made report, was elated at
the news, and later ON made bet OF
$1,000 that Mckinley would carry
North Carolina.
l could not see Senator Faulkner to-
night to ask him about this piece OF
information that comes from reliable
source, and Senator Butler is still in
Indiana. 1t is believed here that ne
win, upon his return, exert himself to
prevent the loss of North Carolina, and
will join the Democratic managers in
an effort to discover in whose hands
the money was placed. North CaFolin-
ians here suspect that certain Popu-
lists were the recipients of the money,
but they do not believe the delivery OF
the vote cam be made.

After the discovery of gold IN this

were three nations of Europe which de
monetized gold for fear money would

short distance from the train and de-
liyered one of his characteristic short

II want you who are proposing SER
vile submission to anything which for
eign influences demand to remember
that that is a new doctrine to be pro-
duced IN the United Staes and that no
party in all the history of this country
until the Republican party did it at

must submit to foreign finance. Zap

that the Republican party proposes to
continue the financial system which
you now have. That system has caused
the issue of $262, 100000 of bonds i'm the
last three years and that system is
approved by the Republican party and
If it is continued there will be more
bonds to be issued and more money
locked up in the treasury at Washing
ton that ought to be in circulation.
The issue is plain. Do you want more
bonds imposed upon the people or
money to circulate among the people?
(Applause.)
