VIM nck ovER rHE TRACES.

Democratic papers of the state are
advocating a fusion ticket headed by
Hon. George Ainslie, of Boise, for Gov
ernor and Captain James Gum, of the
Boise Sentinel, for congress. The Pop
ulist papers, on the other hand, are try
ing to manufacture plausible excuse
for such an alliance, there are few
unruly spirits, however, who threaten
to kick over the TRACES when the at
tempt is made to, shook up" that kind
Of a team. --Payette IRdependent.

FREAK OF NATURE.

Mary Ann Childs, a colored lady,
came to the house of J. Ed Smith Sat
urday night. She is travelling on foot
from place to place with her baggage
on her head. She started from New
Orleans about four years ago and has
Travelled since that time through north
ern Minnesota, Montana and this far in
Idaho. She says she never rode on
the cars or in wagon. She prefers to
walk and during ali of her journey her
longest stay at any one place was two
months at MOnidS with Mrs. James P.
Fifeld. When travelling she goes at the
rate of from IL to Is miles per day.
While she was at Mrs p. Fifield's she
assisted her with her work and on leav-
ing was offered pay for her service but
would take nothing but some presents
of clothing and some small change
with which to buy "BaccY." She says
she was born in New Orleans nearly go
years ago and was slave under three
different masters and has often felt
| the lash OF the slave driver. The largest
money possession she has ever had at
any one time is 1915. She also states
that she does not know her exact age,
but her husband told her when they
were celebrating the emancipation pro.
clsmation that she was "a years old.
All she seems to desire is clothes enough
to wear snd little money for "Baccy.'
And if there is a christian in this whole
land she is surely one for her faith in
the good Lord" as she calls him is
simply wonderful. During all Of her
travels she says the Lord has never sent
her to door where she was not wei
come. She is an inVeterate smoker
and an old time "MammY."-Idaho

Charles Sweeney, Republican State

and his successor appointed. Mr.
Sweeney says he can't stand that kind
of work and will hold his position un,

able to the Dubois element, but that
shouldn't cut any figure. Central com

The valuation of live stock in Beaver
head county, Montana, for this year has
been fixed as follows: Sheep. s1,75;
COWS, S25; range cattle, $40; beef cattle,
S25. In Lemhi last years valuation
was, sheep, 81; cows, S17: beef cattle,
91s. From this statement it can be
seen easily why the tax rate is neces-
sarily higher here than in Beaverhead,
although this item does not warrant
the great difference in the rate.-Sal-

For Steamers Calling for Coal at Mobile.
 Important Step.
 At meeting of the quarantine board of Mobile bay Wednesday Captain Dan- ner brought to the attention of the board that there are three coaling ports on the Atlantic coast, where vessels from Gal weston and other ports touch for bunker coals en route to Europe, and that in ducements should be offered to such ves- sells to call at Mobile for their bunker coals, which could be gotten here more cheaply than at the coaling ports re- ferred to. In order to do this it would be necessary to reduce the port charges somewhat. He had been to see the pilots, and they all had agreed to remit one half of their fees to such vessels. The only other charge was the fee for quar- antine inspection, and he asked the board if such vessels could not be put on the same footing as the vessels In the fruit trade, and charge them $75O for inspection.
 After some discussion of the matter, Commissioner Sage moved, and it was adopted, that all steamers calling at this port for their bunker coals only shall be charged an inspection fee of s7.50, and that this is not to apply to steamers con- ing here for any kind of cargo.

MT. Adams went over the old story about Kolb being counted out and about the democrats voting dead negroes in Dal- las and Lowndes counties and made no argument, but only tried to stir up the people with the old bitterness
 Mr. Fitts made fine, vote winning speech. He showed the people that the only way to free silver was in the na- tional democratic party, and on state issues by vivid showing up of the man. ner in which fusion was brought about and by bringing out Goodwyn's vote to seat the negro in congress he raised much enthusiasm among the crowd. He took Adams up on every proposition and answered him, and every time Adams interrupted him he silenced him. The general verdict is that the pop leader was completely done up and that great gain was scored for the democratic party,

Hugh Willingham's place, gave birth to an illegitimate child, which was found Sunday in a clay root near the house wrapped in an old apron with several large rocks piled on top of it. It had string binding very tightly around it's neck, which was indication that it choked to death. Mrs. OdeH, who was suspicioned of it's murder, was brought here and placed in jail Tuesday, and Wednesday evening Melinda Odell and George Gurley, who is an important ac- tor in the play, who are supposed to know how the child came to it's death, were brought here and placed in jail. The trial was set for yesterday, but on ac- count of not being able to get some inn portant witnesses was postponed until arrangements can be made for thorough investigation.

 Judge Roulhac, besides being one of the best judges in Alabama, is somewhat of a gardener. Often after the arduous duties of the bench and bar have been performed the judge may be seen in his garden spading and hoeing. He has now begun to reap the reward of his labor. He has had several "messes" of Irish potatoes and snap beans and would have had some mustard but for striped bug that got there first. The cantaloupe patch at the back of the garden is bloom ing, but the judge has wisely let the weeds grow around to keep the small boy off. He has recently had path cut through the weeds so he can get to his roasting ear patch, which is now in tassel.
