PYTHIAN MEMORIAL TEMPLE
Excellent Prospects of Its Being
Erected in This City.
Probability of S55O,OOO Being Raised
over Half TO Be Used in Con-
structing the Building.

Since the recent reunion of the several
subordinate lodges OF Knights OF Pythlas in
the National Rifles Armory, at which
the matter OF erecting a temple in this
city was so enthusiastically talked about,
quite a large number OF shares, at S25
each, have been sold. The matter is being
extensively advertised and Pythlans all
over the country are very much in earnest
in commencing the scheme to erect at the
very birthplace of Pythianism a temple
worthy the grand order which IL Is To repre-
sent aud memOrialiZe.
The committee recently appointed to
prepare u circular TO send to the subordinate
lodges in the United states, Canada and the
Sandwich Islands, Will make report, 1t Is
pected, within q few days. and within the
next month these circulars will have been
sent to the secretaries OF every X. of L 3.

said yesterday that the Washin gton people.
members of the local lodges, confidently
expected that an average Of 81 per man
would be contributed by members Of the
order. This gentleman further said he
knew of several who would give 500 each,
and there were quite number of well
known people who would contribute 500
each; also many more who could be counted
up into the hundreds, who would give S25
each.
At an average Of 81 per man. $3.50 900
would be secured. The amount desired is
$500, 600. as The Times announced over
two weeks ago.
The local lodges now own, on Ninth

Flower, and Fruit Guild.

Mr.. Gillett of Massachusetts, from the
House judiciary Committee, in favorably re-
porting the bill to incorporate the National
Plant, Flower and Fruit Guild, says:
In many parts Of the United States
there is now organized a system of collect
ing flowers in the country, where they are
abundant. sending them to the cities. and
distributing them among the hospitals and
tenement houses. The transportation com
panies carry them free, and the charity is
inexpensive and beneficial. The incor-
porators wish to extend the system to Wash
ington, and hope by legal organization
to extend and systematic the work"

YOU will find a description of the curious
looking beast in Barnum Batley's show
called a blue nosed mandrill. Most per-
sons imagine this animal is painted the
beautiful colors which appear on its nose

is the only painter the beast has ever had.
The one with this show is the only one now

follows: 1T was representative meet

the old parties in the north, who had
come together on the one overshadowing
question OF the hour. Differing widely
on great many other points,
they thought alike on the one subject of

cry" Are not the present conditions
similar TO those existing in the times OF
which Mr., Blaine writes? Free coinage
is the one issue, and people are standing
on principle; they are coming together
on the question Of the hour: they are on
the side OF free coinage: they may ditier
widely on prote ction and other points.

NEXT Saturday the Republican pri.

ton. The county convention will nom
mate candidates for treasurer. assessor.
probate judge, commissioners and mem.
bers OF ;he Legislators. Fourteen dele
gates are also to be elected To represen,
the county in the state convention.
Upon the result Of the primaries, the
complexion OF the convention depends.
Gov. McConnelrs supporters in this
county are active, and il has only been
a few DAYS since one OF them visited
Bonner's Ferry and openly criticized
Senator Dubois action on the silver
question, while he could say nothing too
good OF the governor. Ills remarks are
significant when we consider the fac,
that these men have been claiming great
friendship fer Dubois. The subtarfuge
IS 50 plain that extensive comment is
unnecessary. They have been posing as
Dubois men Tor the purpose OF gaining
control Of the county convention, well
knowing that opposition 10 the senator
meant sure defeat. They have promised
the Office of assessor TO at least three
candidates, and resorted to other CUES
tionable practices to gain control OF the
convention and perpetnate their power.

You may follow our history back to the

hotly contested question that has come
before the people, when reaching the
point OF final settlement. has been the
sole issue. This having teen true in the
past, it naturally follows that the fight
