to place a knife or dagger under SICK

for mailing UP a horseshoe. But why
a horseshoe in particularly you ask,
''more than any other odd piece OF
iron?" Well, primarily, the good luck
depends more upon the iron as IRON
than on the special shape or function
of the horseshoe as horseshoe.
But there are also many reasons why
the superstition should happen to Tx
itself more particularly upon horse
shoes. We must remember that in Eu'

and the domestic beasts in general that
are specially liable to the hostile at

STATE FINANCES.
Where the Money Of the Taxpayers Of
Idaho Goes.
THE LEGISLATIVE APPROPRIATIONS
No Wonder the Tax Levy for
State Purposes is 81 Cents
on Each 800 Of
Property.

Below we print the appropria-
tons made by the last legislature
for the maintenance of the state
government for 1895 and 1896.
All the members of that legisla-
ture were individually and collect.
lively pledged to economist and
reduce taxation. Instead Of full
filling their pledges they made lar
ger appropriations than ever and
created lot of new tax-eating Of
ficials, who are today travelling all
over the state and organizing Nc
Kinley clubs and whipping silver
republicans into supporting the
gold standard. Some of the men,
bers of that legislature claim merit
on the score of being economical to
the point of parsimony. If that is
economy, God save us from an ex-
travagant legislature. There is
no good reason why the state gov
eminent should not be admins
tered more efficiently and honestly
than at present on the proceeds OF
a GO cent levy; but there must be
lot of taxeaters beheaded, and the
constitution of the state must be
observed in making appropriations.

Nutritious Qualities OF Olives.

II dried olives possess all the quail
ties claimed by their advocates, n new
industry may be developed in this State
and economical persons be furnished
with food product, p~alatable and high
ly nutritious, which will cost no more
than 5 cents q day. w. S. Manning of
Ballard, Santa Barbara county, has
sent q sample Of the dried fruit for the
inspection Of the board Of trade. He
contends that no product on earth con-
tains as much Cf the clements Of nutri-
ton necessary for the sustcnance of the
body as a ripe olive. The dried fruit
will Of course contain all these quail
ties, and all that is necessary TO render
it pleasant to the taste is soaking ana
sailing it. The oil of tho olive is
equal to meat, and the pulp is as good
rs bread. Three Of the largest olive
groves in the world arc planting in
southern California. One grove Of 400
acres. in Orange county, will contain
40, 900 trees. Another, near Cotton,
will have 81, 600 trees, and Tie third,
near Pomona, will have "a, COO trees.
There is more olive planting in Cali
fornia this season than ut any previous
time, the boom being duo to tho in
erased popularity of California oranges
in American markets. The olive crop
Of southern California last season was

that three times tho amount Ct fruit

THE CoNFEoERATE SEAL.-The
Anderson Peoples Advocate repro.
duces an interesting incident OF the
last days of the C~onfederacy, as told
by Judge Ctthran AT the m mortal
exercises in Anderson:
Judge Cochran, in his address ou
Memorial Day, gsy II little ~unwritten
history OF the last meeting "f the Cog
Cabinet at a bbeviIir 40 Aurtl.
1866. The meeting was held at the
house Of Hon, Amestead Burt, and
Col. Cothran said it was evidently the
thought OF Mr.. Davis MUD to make u
stand at Abbeville. They were sitting
on the piazza Of the house and as one
after another gave his judgment
against it and Mr., Davis realiz,d that
there was nothing more that could be
done, thai human effort was exhausted
he threw his head back in his chair
and with his handkerchief over his
face remained for some moments
in that position whore none but tho
Unseen Eye could see the struggle
going on in his great soul. Some
members OF the cabinet were quarter
ed at Col. Il. C. Perrin's, the futher-in-
law OF Judge Cochran, and anon
them was Mr.. Benjamin. the Secre-
tary OF State. and a number OF large
trunks were brought into the library
and great numbers of important State
papers were burnt in the fire place.
Among other things MIR. Benjamin
took out u little box and opeued 1t an
drew out the Great Seal of the Con-
federate States made Of solid silver
and asked what he must do with
1t. Col. Perrin replied, Mr.. Ben
jamin, tomorrow morning about
10 o'clock you will cross Savannah
river at Petersburg in a fiat. AS you
cross you can drop it in tho waters oil
the Savannah and it will be forever
safe" MIR. Benjamin replied, 81 Will
do It," and Col. CotIran said he be
lieved he did it and that the original
Great Seal OF the ~Confederacy was 40 "

greatest gathering of veterans of the
Confederate armies that has ever
taken place since those soldiers sepa-
rated to their homes. Never again
will 1t be possible for such O. number
of these old soldiers to be gathered
into one encampment. Each succeed
ing year sees u large number of those
who wore the gray crossing the river

The coming meeting will have the
elements of sadness mingled with tie

old comrades who will know that they

The statement by MIR. Williams
that at the same time the beer was in
Edgetield u key of c~ontraoand vas
seized and released,' is without foun-
dation. The facts are that u ship
ment was made by a party OF u key OF
whiskey to Elgefeld in the name OF
q negro. The constable reported TO
me-, while in Edgefield, the fact and
stated he had released the same on the
statement of the real owner that 1t
was intended for his own use and not
to evade the law. The constable was
publicly censured by. me and instruct
ed eve to return liquor under such
circumstances as IL zane specially
under the order of Judge Simonton,
" The statement that | have ~frequent-
ly ordered packages released Is true,
and | am continuing to do SO, under
the advice Of the Attorney General,
as the order of Judge Simonton will be
carrieS out until the test case now be-
fore him Is decided.
II have, as stated, petitionel the
State Board, OF which he is a member,
to release packages in cases where /
was OF the opinion the seizures could
not be sustained. If the State has
been deprived Of valuable property, as
MI. Williams states, the responsibility
is on the State Board and not myself.
Gov. Evans, continuing, said: 81
am unaware that | have placated any
of my enemies by the release of pack
ages. IL such had been my object |
certainly would not have seized Mr..
Williams beer"
Gov. Evans said further, that he had
never yet released any shipment un-
less advised by the Attorney General
to do SO, and unless the parties, regard
less OF personal or other ties, had made
affidavit that the shipment was in
tended and would be used strictly fol
personal use.
1t ought to be stated in Justice t

WILL BE "A NARROW MARGIN.
Senator Hill Figures a Close Fight
on Silver at Chicago.

Senator Hill has been doing some
figuring on the possibility of the silver
Democrats controlling at Chicago, says
the Washington Post, and has come
to the conclusion that the result will
depend upon a very narrow margin.
In fact, he figures that it is quite pos
sible hat the sixteen votes Of Nebras-
ka, one way or the other, may decide
the contest. As is we'll known there
will be two delegations from Nebraska,
n alleged to be composed of Federal
ofice-holders and other sound nom
men, and the other being the repre-
sentatiyes of the silver faction of the
party. The National committee, which
will make up the temporary roll of the
convention, has majority Of gold stan.
dard men, it is said, and upon it's de-
cision as to the seating of one Of the
Nebraska delegates the whole outcome
OF the convention may hinge.
The Post recently, in estimates of
the silver outlook, placed Illinois first
In the silver and later in the doubtful
column. Senator Hill puts it down for
silver on the advice of Senator Palmer,
who reluctantly admits that the silver
men have the machinery of the State.
1t is now said that the gold men cannot
even get the Cook county delegation,
Wnlcn they hoped to control. In other
States the free silver men have been
given b organization without q strug-
gle, but Senator Hill says that he does
not believe that this ought to be the
case at the National convention. He
expects to go to Chicago at the head
of the New York delegation, but even
should the silver men seem to be in
the majority he will not abandon the
fight until it is evident from a vote
that they are intrenched in their posi-
tion.
1t seems to be generally admitted
that the free silver delegation from
Texas will be accorded seats in the
convention without question. Sena-
tor Mills says the Democrats with a
few exceptions, T. with tho free sill
yer tide, and that the regular Organi-
zation Of the State is certainly for
silver.
Ex-Speaker Crisp said yesterday
that he thought the unit rule would
be enforced in all the silver States, in
Guiding Georgia, since the gold men
had forced the rule on the silver men
in Michigan.

AN EDGEFIELD XILLING.-The Nc
Cormick correspondent of tho Augusta
Chronicle says: One of the most
audacious crimes that has even black
ened the history OF this section of the
country was committed near here last
Friday evening. Gary Dorm, the son
OF one of the most prominent men in
this community, killed Frank Smith, u
negro man, by striking him a deadly
blow on his head and afterwards sever.
ing the head from the body and kick.
Ing 1T about five feet away. 1t seems
that Major Dorm had sent his son and
the negro boy to a field to cut some
brushes. There they got into a dis.
pute about a woman and, according to
the evidence of Dorm, the negro called
him a liar, r''ereupon the difficulty
began wich ended in the death Of the
negro. Dorm struck the negro on the
head with his axe and according to
his own evidence, cut the negroes b ID
off after he had fallen to the ground.
A warrant was issued for Dorm and it is
understood he was arrested this even
