Cigarette Smoking.

Cigarette smoking in England dates
back to 1914. The great impetus to
their increased use was caused by the
Crimean war of 1896, when numbers
of military and naval officers adopted
this method of smoking from the inhabi-
tants of Russia, Turkey. Malta, Levant
and other parts of Europe.

IF the Prohibitionists Of this state
are not very careful they will get their
state platform in a dreadful tangle on
the financial question. 1t seems to
avoid unnecessary expense, the Prohi-
blCionIsts OF this state divided their
convention in three distinct organiza-
tions, to meet at Idaho Falls, Boise
ind Moscow, respectively. The first
section met at Idaho Falls and declar-
cd themselves in favor of the demone
tization of both gold and silver, and
the substitution In their place of paper
promises to pay. The second section
met at Boise and declared it the sense
OF the Prohibition party of this state
that silver be given equal recognition
with gold. The Moscow section is yet
to. meet and to do justice 10 the cause
should declare for gold Thus will the
opinions Of man honestly differ.

seven states and one territory have
been created. These are the states
which Mr.. Cleveland demoninates as
undesirable, and the tone of the eastern
press is what gave the President his
impression, If the region was a per-
petual burden upon the federal govern
ment, perpetual expense, and if the
people cost the government more an
nually for police service than all the
revenue which the region supplies, We
would not bear worse reputation in

One notes that the utterances Of

surprise when there came the sad news
of Thomas Hughes's death. He had
never grown old, in all his seventy-three
years, and it required an effort to asso-
ciate the thought of inertness with such
a strong breezy worker. If he was not
great enough to Danish doubts and anX-

resident of Elmore county, went to
Cooper's few weeks ago to break
horses for teaming this summer be.

Sunday evening he and Long were
scuffltng on tbs premises, in a friendly
way, shortly after which Long entered
the house. About an hour after this
occurrence Finel and several other men
repaired to the house tor the purpose of
sleep, one of the Cooper boys in the
lead. Just as Finel entered the door
Long fired three shots, one entering
his side, the second an arm and the third
penetrating his heart. Long who was
barefooted. then hastily left the house
remarking as lie passed Finel's prost.

as a committee to fix time and place of
holding tho regular convention.
PRoHlBlrIonsrs MeEr.

The Prohibition convention for the
second district, comprising the counties
of Ada, Blaine, Boise, Canyon, EImoOre,
Lincoln, Owyhee and Washington, was
held in q. A. r. hall yesterday for the
purpose of electing two delegates to
the national Prohibition convention to
DO held at Pittsburg on May 9th.
The convention was called to order
at II o'clock by H. A. Lee, chairman of
the state committee, who, after a few
words of encouragement, presented the
name of Rev. d. NJ. McReynolds, of
Boise, as chairman. Mr.. McReynoIds
was elected without opposition. /. p.
Marcellus, of Boise, was elected secre.
tarY.
The platform adopted is as follows:
"Reaflirming our allegiance and our
faith in Almighty God and our belief
in the final triumph of righteousness
and truth, we again, standing at the
political crossroads, point out to the
people some of the reforms we propose
to help to inaugurate in the govern
ment of which we are part.
First-The complete overthrow and
humiliation of the drunkard making
business in onr country.
Seeond-The Acknowledgement of the
women Of our land on the same terms
aud conditions as men.
Third-Believing with the fathers of
this nation that the silver dollar is the
money of the people; believing with
England's greatest living statesman
that the gold dollar is the money of the
small creditor class, recognizing the
fact that when silver was the standard
of value the people prospered, and that
since silver was demonetized, they have
been drifting toward poverty, we are
forced to declare our conviction that
the doctrine of the greatest good to the
greatest number, the practical applica-
ton of the golden rule, requires a free
coinage Of silver at the minis of the
United States, impartialIy with gold, at
the ratio of is to i.
Fourth-That the government of the
United States should own and operate
all railroad and telegraph lines within
its borders.
Fifth-That the election of Unitod
States senators and the selection of
postmasters be by direct vote of the
people.
SiXth-We favor the measure known
as the initiative and referendum and
recommend that it be incorporated in
our state constitution.
Seventh-We recommend a statutory
enactment for the protection of the
Christian Sabbath.
The convention selected as delegates
to the Pittsburg convention, Rev. E. b.
Sutton, of Boise, and II. A. Lee, of
Weiser. Mrs. F. V. Freeman and Mrs.
W. J. Campbell, both. of Boise, were
elected alternates.
Moses F. Fowler, of Middleton, re.
ceiVed the nomination as Prohibition
presidential electOr.
The following persons were elected
members of the state central committee:
Ada county, f. E. Deem and 1. p. Mar
cellus; Canyon, F. A. Wilkie and w. c.
Stalker; Washington, H. A. Lee; Blaine,
Mrs. Eliza Turner; Lincoln, Robert
McMahon; Gilmore, Mrs. Minnie Phelps.
No committeeman were selected for
Owyhee and Boise counties for the
reason, as stated, that there were no
known Prohibitionists in those coun-
ties.
