IDHHO.

Nv g. Grim In idaho Ree0rder.l
Our land OF rocks and hills,
OF brooks and rills;
OF sunshine and of snow,
Where oats and big potatoes grow.
OF valley where mosquitoes swarm,
Where nights are cool and days are warm;
Where magpies steal and coyotes howl.
And grizzlies make their midnight prowl;
Where sage and greaseWood side by side,
The cactus and the daisy hide.
Where bunch grass tempts the lazy kline,
And makes them fat and sleek and fine,
Where streams are filled with speckled trout,
Alas It's hard to hook them out
land where spruce and pine doth grow.
On mountains robed in spotless snOw;
A land OF wondrous wealth It's true.
OF yellow gold and silver too.
A land where lazy buck and squaw.
From Uncle Sam their rations draw.
land where sickness scarcely reigns
To fill your-fiesh with ackes and pains.
And yet the dim and weakly eyes,
Tell that It isn't Paradise.
a land where cyclones never come.
Nor earthquakes shocks to wreck your home,
Nor famines e'er to ma Ike afraid.
bui WaterspOulS you nlllS luFaues
And in the fowery month OF June
Jack frost whistles his icy tune.
And when your ''tater'' vines lay low,
You wish he would not visit you.
And yet your land is wondrous fair,
With sunshine bright and purest air,
That softly steals from mountain peak.
To fill your lungs and kiss the maiden's cheek
You laugh at pains and aches and ills,
And scorn the DOCTORS drugs and pills
No ticks in all your land are found,
But politics doth there abound;
With every shade and every hue.
AS changing as chameleon too.
OF all the fruit that may be found.
In which your land doth sure abound,
Religious fruit is a thin crop,
Except the gay religious hop.
And yet Of friendship, firm and true,
No land yet found can yours outdo.
Oh, valley fair, oh, friends so true
/ often think and dream Of you.
And as the Christmas carols ring,
wish, to you, fun joy twill bring.

Habana Threatened With
Loss Of Water Supply.
Dynamite Used by Insurgents
to Blow Up Aqueduct.
The City Startled and Alarmed by
Insurgents.

Habana, June 15.-This city was
startled and alarmed Saturday night at
o'clock by the noise Of two successive
explosions. which shook the ground for
long distance. and was heard for sew
eral miles. CONSERVATION prevailed for
q time, as IL was feared that this was
prelude TO an attack, or & series OF
similar explosions. Excited throngs
rushed to the streets, while an armed
party proceeded In the direction from
which the detonations had been heard.
1t was found that the stone bridges at
Cristina and Concha. and the aqueduct
OF Fernando Septimo. were tho points
that had suffered from the dynamite.
The bridges were partially destroyed.
and the pipes on the aqueduct, upon
which the cityfs dependent for it's water
supply were much damaged. The win
dows In many houses In the city were
shattered by the reverberation of the ex-
plosion, and some market structures
were also badly damaged.
There Is no doubt felt that the dyna-
mite which caused this wreck was placed
by agents OF the insurgents. 1t has been
their determination, announced some
time since. TO cut Off the water supply
of Habana, and so serve to make IL as
nearly uninhabitable as possible.
The greatest apprehension Is felt, ow-
ing to the secrecy and effectiveness with
which the insurgents have been able TO
carry out the outrage.
Saturday night was spent In fear and
dread of immediate danger. Much
anxiety is felt as to the future. IL Is
believed that the insurgents are bent
upon crippling Habana by cutting Off
as much as possible the supply of neces-
stiles, though not by actually besieging
1t. All fruits and vegetables and fresh
meats are unprecedentedly high priced.
and difficult TO obtain, and milk is OF the
poorest. such as is brought in being
much adulterated.
There is much fever, and smallpox
has broken out here. and in the unwhole-
some condition of affairs threatens TO
become epidemic. Many are suffering
from measles, and there is r,uch in
testinal trouble among the inhabitants,
owing to poor ana insufficient food.
The failure of the water supply under
these conditions is direct calamity.
II is the announced intention of the
authorities to- continue the campaign
against the insurgents In spite of the
unhealthy rainy season having set in,
and additional troops are in the field
IN Pinar del Rio with the purpose of
running down and surrounding Antonio
Maceo. 1t is evident that the insurgents
themselves are preparing TO enter upon
a more aggressive plan OF action, and the
gathering OF insurgent forces in Puerto
Principe and Santa Clara is believed to
be prelude to another raid westward
in force by Maxine Gomez. The pres
ence Of these combined insurgent forces
I'm the neighborhood. and even in the
outskirts of Habana, in this month, is a
condition that must probably be counted
on.

Philadelphia, March 17.-Oliver N. and
VIM. II. Long, trading as James Long,
Hrother & Co., manufacturers in dress
goods, assigned today. oliver N. Long,
also assigned indy idually. The assign.
ment, 1t is said, is partly preoipitated by
Judgments on notes entered against sne
firm, aggregating $50, 469. VIM. Rhodes
against whom Oliver N Long secured
Judgment for $780, on a note, has
assigned as did Frank H. Rhodes against
whom o. N. Long obtained Judgment on
note for 500. 600 and VIM. H. Long, the
same for $50, 600. Assets and Liabilities
have not been asoertained. H. Il. Shock
has entered up Judgment against William
and Frank Rhodes on five notes aggregate
ing SIZE, 600. Counsel for Albert Gala
hgan, trustee for Elizabeth Callaghap,
today issued execution against Robert
Callaghan on two notes. one for 1921, S56,
the other for 81, 541. Robert Callaghan is
manufacturer of ginghams. His at

Wanted His Picture Taken

Philadelphia, March 17.-Of all the
prisoners in Moyamensing prison, the
most oomplacent is Fl. II. Holmes, the
murderer of Benjamin +. Pietzel. One
OF Holiness latest requests is that a
photographer be permitted to take a
picture OF him before he is hanged.
There is plenty of evidence that Holmes
expected to be executed when he was first
indicted for the murder of Pietzel, and
neither the announcement of the Supreme
COURTS decision nor the filing Of the date
by the governor seemed to worry him.
He has accepted religious teachings with
out manlfesting any sudden change OF
heart. Father Daley of the Church oil
the Annunnciation, visits him frequently
aud was with him yesterday, and all the
tracts and religious periodicals handed
him by the various societies which visit
the Jail he reads through carefully. What
effect they have had on him no ons
knows. He keeps scrap book containing
clippings about himself and his crimes
from all parts of the country, and one of
his favoriue pastimes is to point out to
Ills keepers and to the occasional visitor
who is permitted to go inside his cell the
inconsistencies in some of the articles.
Holmes laughs at the statement fire..
quently made that he intends to commit
suicide. 1t is not true, either that he has
prepared confession. He reads a great
deal, but recently he has written very
little,
