Blackfoot news. (Blackfoot, Idaho) 1891-1902, 1896-09-26

THE NEWS respectfully refers the
county candidates TO Mr.. Hanna as a
most astute and shrewd politician in
these particulars: He keeps his own
counsels; he doesn't tell everybody
what he is doing; he doesn't underrate
the opposing forces; he doesn't waste
time abusing opposing candidates; he
works; he keeps pegging away as IL he
was in imminent danger; he canvasses
thoroughly and he canyasses close.
Now, do like Mr.. Hanna in these things.
Don't waste time kicking at the other
fellows; don't be wild and rash In your
promises; don't count on the other fel
lows as sleeping while you are work
ing. In the language of the parrot
don't stalk too darn much" but worl
for votes. Work always counts in ;
campaign.

Giren a Cold Watch.

Last Saturday evening just prior TO
his departure for st. Louis, DIR. Moore,
medical superintendent, for himself and
employees OF the asylum, presented Mr..
poyntcr with a beautiful gold watch as
a mark OF their appreciation Of his hon.
est and faithful services during his two
years at that institution.
The DR.. made neat little presenta-
tion speech, and Mr.. Poynter was SC
overcome by the surprise and this evi-
dence Of appreciation Of his associates
as TO be almost too full for utterancs
and for thanks.
The same evening beautiful present
was given Miss Clara Siebold, another
cmploye who left Thursday morning
for her home at Portland, Oregon.

II our business men would talk more
business and less politics; IL our news

Of the campaign; If our rsnehers would
give more time and care TO ranches;
If our stock men would look more after
their horses and cattle; if our house

What the Nails Indicate.

1t has long been known TO doctors
that the shape and appearance of the
finger nails form important factors in
the diagnosis OF disease. Thus, long
nails indicate physical weakness and a
tendency 20 consumption. Where the
nails are long and blush they indicate
bad circulation. This same type of nail,
but shorter, denotes tendency to throat
affections, bronchitis and the like,
Short, small nails often Indicate heart
disease; where they are short, fiat and
sunken, you may look for nervous dis

ART EXHIBITION. Despite the storm last
Thursday evening there were many callers
at Miss Mira Jenkins studio to inspect the
work Of her younger pupils. These were
mainly object studies in black and white, al :
though Master Rex Hazetine was repre-
sented by two Oil paintings, flower piece
and landscape. All of the work shown
was very creditable, attesting both talent
and industry on the part of the pupils, and
showing careful and competent instruction.
The local papers figured in two of the black
and white drawings. A. Cutter Sibley, Jr.,
had an excellent picture of newsboy with
The Republican Journal, and Rex Hazel
tine picture showing child seated on the
floor with copy of the Belfast Age, and
near by two life-like kittens. A copy of
winter scene by Martin Dilworth was very
well done. The Misses Evelyn and Cora
Morrison and Marjorie d. Pilsbury were each
represented by well executed studies. AS
Thursday night was 50 stormy Miss jenkins
had her studio open Friday evening, when
there were many additional callers. Her
pupils, their parents, and the many friends
she has made here regret that circumstances
| compel Miss jenkins to leave Belfast. She
| is certainly very successful as a teacher, and
until drawing is taught in the public schools,
as it is elsewhere, and should be here,
! parents should be glad to avail themselves
Of her services.

THE DEBATING CLUB The meeting of the
Debating Club last Thursday was highly in
teresting and was enjoyed by several visit
ors including a number of ladies' The pro-
ceedings consisted of a mock breach of
promise trial in which two young men mem
bers masqueraded as the lady plaintiff and
her mother Fred w. Brown, Esq presided
as Judge, while Norman Wardwell, Esq, ap-
peared as attorney for the plaintiff and Hugh
ID. Mcclellan for the defendant G. E. White
served as clerk and F. H Mayo as sheriff
The jury was as follows: G. P. Lombard
foreman, j. S. Hartman, S. B. Fletcher,
W. H. Richards, H. W. Pitcher, Arthur
Paine. The plaintiff Joanna Strideforth of
Belmont, represented by Walter Clifford
sued Josephus Banghart, represented by
Orrin j. Dickey, for $4,000 for breach of
promise of marriage. The plaintiff claimed
that she met the defendant some time ago.
and that last summer he proposed marriage
to her. The wedding day was set for Dec
LIST, but on Nov. Both the defendant dsap-
peared and has not visited her since. The
defendant averred that the plaintiff misrep-
resented her financial condition, represent
ing herself to be rich. He also claimed that
there was not mutual promise of marriage,
lnasmuch as she did not definitely accept
his offer, but said II guess will The tes-
timony of the witnesses was highly anus
ing in many points. The jury returned a
verdict for the plaintiff for $137. The
case goes to the Board of Trade on excep-
tions and motion for new trial.

City Work by Days Labor.

Washington Star: 1t is announced
that the district is enabled to complete
the Stevens school, left unfinished by
the contractor, because the contract
price was $4,000 below the appropria-
ton. The moral to be drawn from this
fact is striking. The default of the
contractor was probably due in large
measure to his undertaking to do the
work at too low a price. There may
have been other contributory causes,
but the main trouble, it Is apparent,
was the success of his attempt to Sc
cure the job regardless of the actual
cost of doing it to the satisfaction OF
the authorities. He was either poor
figurer, or else he contemplated doing
cheap work; cheap for him, but douDly
dear to the district. This is the first
and worst fruit of the contract system
and the best reason for it's abandon
ment. The element of competition is
incompatible with good results, espe-
cially as long as the law requires the
commissioners to accept the lowest DID
offered or to readvertise and presum-
ably to meet the same conditions on a
second trial. 1t is asserted by those OPP
posed to the days labor plan that I'M
der it workmen will not give as much
service as under contractors, and that
in consequence all buildings Will cost
more in time and money. But this
testimony is from an interested source,
for as far as can be ascertained the
only opponents of the proposed system
are contractors and those dependent
upon or friendly to them. The COM
missioners, the building inspector, the
district auditor and the superintendent
of street sweeping are agreed that 1t
would be practical and ultimate econ
omy to abandon the contract system,
and in this they have the support OF
nearly all citizens who have given the
matter close attention.
