"It was made perfectly clear at last
weeks meeting of the house committee
on naval affairs that the Democrats ia
vor larger increase in our navy than
the Republicans do. The Democrats
on the committee, led by Amos Cum
mings, who was chairman of the COM
mittee in the last house, wanted to pro-
vide for the building of six battleships
and % torpedo boats, but the most
they could get the Republican majority
Of the committee TO agree to was four
battleships and IS torpedo boats"
The above is from the Boise Mail,
and a more silly lot Of nonsense was
never written. That paper is trying to
make political capital out of an editor
ial like the above, which, in reality,
while intended for a compliment to
Democratic wisdom and sagacity, re.
fleets great credit on the common sense
Of the Republican members of the
house committee on naval affairs. To
build those torpedo boats and battle
ships is simply an arrant piece Of ex-
travaganee and a wilful waste of the
public funds. Perhaps the great editor
Of the Mail is not on to the fact that a
militia company has been organized in
Caldwell, and what better guarantee of
protection is needed, we'd like to
know? What would England and
Spain amount to pitted against Co. A,
Idaho National Guard, CALDWELL The
Mail had better change its brand of
liquid inspiration.

DUBOIS OR DESTRUCTION.

The Salt Lake Tribune Of March 90
contained an editorial relating to the
recent conference between the silver
senators and Pennsylvania manufac.
turers, The Tribune said It had re-.
eeived private letters from some of the
manufacturers and that one Of those
letters gave it some points Of that
meeting, In relating what the silver
senators said to the manufacturers, the
Tribune says; They (the silver sena.
torsl informed them (the manufactur.

Dubois should be defeated in their

INTERESTING, If TRUE,

Two dogs were playing at the Black
Hornet mine near Boise, several weeks
ago, and in their rOllicklng accidently
fell into an old shaft. Three days
thereafter the dogs were found, one Of
them dead, The other, a black and
tan, almost furnishing, was brought ia
the surface by the aid of windlass
The hair on the top of the poor dogs
head had turned gray during its i'm.
prisOnment. The animal is still living
and none the worse for its adventure,
except the gray head which is quite
conspicuous on that breed of dog. This
is no hoax, as the dog is now in the
possession of Henry Henderson, who
was at the Black Hornet mine at the
time of the accident. He brought
Puppy" to Boise where Mrs. H. is car.
ing for him now"
The above is taken from the Gilmore
bulletin, and if, as that paper states, it
is no hoax, 1t proves that dogs have
reason, and possessed of that faculty 1t
must logically be conceded that if
creatures have souls, the dog has one.

THE RUBBER NECK.

An authority on slang produces the
following on popular term. A Grub.
ber.neck" is somebody who is trying to
get next door to somebody's affairs. A
woman that keeps looking out of the
window to see what her next door
neighbor is doing or prying into affairs
that do not concern her In the least bit
is one of them, and the woman who is
straining every nerve to carry favor
and receive compliments from men by
showerlng upon them deceitful smiles
is also rubber. neck" You've seen a
man trying to read letter over another
mans shoulder. He's a rubber. neck. !"
because you see he is stretching his
neck to get on to something that's none
of his business. 1t will be readily seen
that, according to this definition, that
every community has its 'rubber-neck."

CANDIDATE WILLIS BUNCOGD.

Bum Plays Him scurvy Trick After
Endeavoring TO Fleece Him OF =
Dollar.
Democratic candidates were never
more pestered by buns than during the
canvass now on. 1t is astonishing how
many men have influence to sell for any
thing from barrel os beer TO drink OF
whiskey. One OF the best Jokes Of the
week Is against George Willis, who
hopes to secure the coronership nomina
tion. He was walking along the street
when seedy looking specimen OF the
genus bum accosted him.
''Mr, Willis can yeu len me dollar2"
he asked
The reply was, Of course, negative
one. Finally the bum dropped to 20
cents. This. too, was refused. AS a
last resort he put his fog rs In his vest
pocket and drew out " tie card

had bsea victimiz ID several times In that
line
IT'S only 10 cents" said the bum
You can certainly stand that"
Willis finally gave the fellow ten cents
and watched hin as he walked In at q
nearby saloon TO spend It,
Then he thought he would look at the
prize he had bought for ten cents. He
was confounded to discover that he hs
bought a campaign ticket of one Of his

CONFESSED TO MURDER
Thomas Willis Tells How He
Murdered His Baby Girl.
TIRED OF HER CARE He browns her

And Then Hides Her BODY In a Lonely
Grave-The Mystery OF Corner Ketoh
Cleared Up BY the Detectives and the
Mans own Adm salon.
That the year old colored girl baby
whose body was discovered near Corner
Ketch saturday, was murdered, Ia no
longer doubted, and that Thomas willis
was the murderer has been confessed by
him. Ever since the discovery of the
body, and the lonely grave In the woods
Detectives McVey and Witsil have been
busy weaving net work around the un
natural father OF the child. which would
have been sufficient to convict him, even
had he not succumbed to the kno wledge
that he was hopslessly trapped and made
a confession to the state authorities
The drst step was the arrest OF Thomas
Willis, who identified the child as his
daughter and told a story OF having been
left the child by the mother, from whom
he had separated He In turn had placed
the baby with family whose name he
did not know, and who could not be
found by the detectives
Then the detectives fixed tho day Of
the murder as May A. and when Willis
was asked where he was on that day be
told number Of stories, all Of which
proved false.
The shovel or spade with the letters
wv. T." on the handle was another
clue. This WAS found near the hastily
constructed grave, and It's ownership
WAS traced TO William Talley. who last
year lived on the same farm where
Willis works.
Lsst evening the coroner aud two de
tectives spent from to 10 o'clock with
Willis. tho was confined In a room on the
second h1or of tho city prison. Later he
was taken down stalls and placed In q
cell with two other colored prisoners.
To these Willis confessed that beoom-
ing tired Of the care Of the baby. which
had been left to him by his wife, when
she separated from him, he took the
child to \ pool near the farm. and
drowned her. He afterwards hid the
the body under pile OF brush until the
next day when he carried 1t to the spot
where It was found. and digging a grave
buried It, He old not anticipate any
one finding the lonely spot, and but for
the dogs. the deed might never have
been discovered.
At 10 o'clock tomorrow moruiug an in
quest will be held at corner Ketch, the
result of which will be the holding Of
Willis for murder Detective Witail and
coroner Stidham were engaged all day
summonning witnesses aud getting evil
