tior was sustained in his address
Monday night. On the tariff ques-
tior he delivered Characteris-
,ically strong address. drawing
vivid pictures Of the sad effects of
thelopposite policy of the democrat
ic party. Mr.. Hepburn has long
bee n recognized as leader in the
fight for silver. and he stated Mon
day that his convictions ON the
subject had not been shaken. He
was still a bimettallist, he said,
but not of the Bryan sort. He did
not believe nor at any time con-
tended, he said. that this nation
had the power or moral right to
dictate to the commercial world its
hna ancial policy. To open our
mints to the free coinage Of silver.
and to thrust the product upon the
world at an inflated value would
be assuming the position of an un-
qualified and tyrannical dictator
and would meet with the resent
ment of all the great commercial
nations. Disaster. unparalleled III
our nations history, would follow
and national honor and commercial
standing would be sacrificed. The
republican party has been, he said
the unceasing, untiring, consistent
friend of the white metal, and tc
the wisdom and patriotism OF tina
party, which has filled W tn sacred
ness SO many important trusts
he would entrust its welfare ant
that of the people.

that bend low the limbs of all the

fruits of the Lewiston Valley.
There is vigor and health and life
for man in the atmosphere of the
mountains and, refined, this elixir
surely extends to this favored valley.
This climate approaches perfection.
Not only the pears, peaches and grapes
excel those of other countries but the
less delicate fruits..ar perfect too. The
less refined fiavors aud textures are at
tainable over wide areas and the taste
or the prejudice of the awarding judges
may influence the distribution of
prizes, but where the finer fruits are
perfect the more common varities can
not be inferior The small fruits and
cherries OF the Lewiston Valley are
perfect, too, in color, texture and
flavor, where pure air, perpetual sun
shine and never varying moisture is
assured tor nine months of spring.
Man loves an endless springtime.
The seasons of the year are silent re-

esson From the Fruit Fair.
LEWISTON, Oct. Goth, 1896.

LEWISTON, Wv. -Otus 1ooo'
EDITOR TEILER-I observed that
IN. nrizes for the best peaches, pears
and grapes, were awarded to Lewiston,
at the Spokane Fruit FAIR. These are
three of the greatest fruits in the world.
Excellency in these fruits must imply
pertection of flavor as well as the quail
tiles of texture and form and color.
The exquisite flavor Of these fruits is
not approached even 10y the products
of tropical climates. The grape APP
proaches perfectien in only a few
favored spots in all the world and it is
generally supposed to be growing
slowly inferior in the old vineyards in
accordance with law of nature that
has eyer made the end follow the be-
ginning Of all things. The natural
pest of the grape are slowly causing its
destruction where it once was perfect.
If in the Lewiston valley there is a new
field for the culture Of the perfect
grape, the value to the world of the
little Eden of perfect climate cannot be
estimated.
The perfect peach is not found where
it grew in the past. Perfection was
attained in this delicious fruit some
years ago, aud its decadence is now
more than conjecture of connoiseurs.
If the new soil of your faiI valley with
the fragrance OF II mountain atmo-
sphere distilled by perpetual sunshine
can produce the perfect peach we are
spared an other blessing.
The pear, with the most delicate
flavor of all the fruits, did it ever reach
perfection in the harsher or tronical
climates: All fruits are perfected by
cultivation and selection of soil and
climate suited to the improved variety.
The Lewiston Valley is the home o
the pear and II the perfect fruit has
nevr, been grown it may he grown
where the grand Idaho originated, IN
the lewiston Valley.
No other product Of the soil compares
in value with the perfect fruit. The
market Tor the hest is without limit i,
price or extent. The mines of you
mountains are not more certain itell
of wealth than the orchard lands O
the Lewiston Valley. The skill of TIN

Old Juckett's Place.
From the New York Herald: Did
you attend the wedding out at old man
Juckett's place last night, lke?' asked
Judge Siringer. the we'll known Okla
homa jurist.
Yep answered Alkali Ike.
Had a lively time, | presume?"
"Eh-vah. some ways II was
middlin' lively, and ether ways it was
slower than snails. Thar was no shoo.-
in, an the ticker was miZZable. But
take it all around, up one side
and down the other, it was what
you might cali a pleasant affair from
start TO finish. The preacher didn't
show up at the app'inted hour, but
We didn't miss him for quite spell,
OWN to the fact that the brides mother,
who 'peared to be an advanced woman,
sorter objected to KickapoO Pete, who
was supposed to be the groom, and got
after him with soap paddle or suthin'
OF the kind and chased him all over the
LOT:
She needn't have put herself to the
trouble, for the bride got to thinkin' the
matter over an concluded that she'd
jest as soon marry Three Fingered Bah
, Geek. who'd sorter been shinnin' round
her some time before, an she didn't
know but she'd little sooner. Nacheral
enough, this kinder riled kickapoo, an
him an Three-Fingered got to jowerin'
over it. an l reckon they would have
fought 1t out if Jim Whipsaw. from the
Rattlesnake place ranch. hadn't pacified
EN- an got EN- to playin' cards to settle
the question.
This promised to satisfy al. parties
concerned. but the bride found out that
Three-Fingered had put up $3.50 on his
side against her hand in marriage
which kickapoo had staked, which
made her so blamed mad that she swore
that If they didn't value her pure af-
lection at more than $3.50 she'd be
hanged il she'd marry either of EN-!
This sortcr complicated matters again,
but Jim Whipsaw soothed an comfort
ed her, an when the preacher showed
up, by gosh. Miss Daisy an Jim stepped
forward. hand in hand. to be married
Meanwhile kickapoo had put up
$3.50 against Three Fingereds stakes,
an they were playin' along as content
ed as a couple Of kittens They slipped
their hands into a book and gave it to
Appetite Bill to hold while the preacher
was gittin' off the solemn words that
made the two young hearts one. An
then, after they had congratulated the
bride. thar came the call to supper. an
so they concluded to make it a show
down. Accordin', Appetite Bill opened
the book. an burcussed if both hands
didn't consist of four aces and king.
ThereupOn they divided the stakes an
shook hands. An then everybody ad-
journed to the supper table, feelin' that
it was indeed good to be thar"
