caution when they undertake to
make what purports to be state
rnent Of facts. Sometimes, Of
course, newspaper will be mis-
informed or mistaken. THE
TRIBUNE claims no exemption
from errors which are common
to all newspapers, but we do
claim that never, Intentionally,
have we stated in these columns
a false fact. We understand that
Mr.. Borah in his speech at the
Opera house, Thursday evening,
denied the truthfulness of state
ment made in this paper last
week, respecting the tenor of a
speech he made at the Ketchum
Silver Convention, in August,
1893. He was generous enough
to acquit THE TRIBUNE of wilfull
and malicious misrepresentation
and considered it case of misin-
formation. We sincerely thank
Mr.. Borah for thus publicly en-
dOrsing the integrity of this jour.
nal, and hasten to reciprocate by
expressing recognition Of his
good faith. 1t is possible, as all
things are possible before heaven,
that our information is inaccurate,
and if, after a careful examina-
ton of the following recitals, Mr..
Borah still maintains his present
views, we shall make due and
public reparation for any damage
to his feelings or reputation which
may accrue from publication of
the facts related. Early in the
summer of 1893, Governor Nc
Cornell issued a proclamation,
calling for a non partisan silver
convention to be held at Ketch- |
UNI, this state. The convention
convened on the 14th day of Au-
gust, if our memory serves us
Alright. In the language of the
street, it was hot stuff. Possibly |
the most contentious and bolster
Gus convention ever held in the
state. Instead of being non-par-
tisan, it was emphatically tri-par-
tisan. However, Governor Nc
Cornell was elected president.
We may note here that the State
Press Association met at same
place on the same date. In the
closing hours of the convention,
the discussions became quite in
flammatory and there was rumor
of an organized effort to ''break
up the meeting" Mr.. Ruick
was prominent as the leader of
the rebellious forces, and attack
ed Governor Mcconnell with un-
common ferocity, 1t was during
this discussion, that the governor
gave utterance TO the then cele-
Drated expression, 81 came here
TO run this convention and pro-
pose to run it. - This retort
was called forth by the vindictive
and aggravating structures of Mr..
Ruick. During the discussion,
On the adoption of the resolutions,
Governor Mcconnell made
speech, in which he plainly init ]
mated that his loyalty to silver
was above all party considerations {
md if theaquestion came to an is
'ue, he would abandon all party
and battle for the
,ause of free coinage. AT the :
conclusion of the governors re- /
marks, Mr.. Borah was recog- /
liEedS and the first words that d
81 from bis lips, after addressing b
he chair, were these: 81 am v
Republican. - After making Y
MS announcement, the gentle fl
ian proceeded to say, in sub g

Good Health.

And good appetite go hand in hand
With the loss of appetite, the system
cannot long sustain itself. Thus the
ratification OF good he 18th are broken
down and the system is liable to at
tacks of disease. 1t is in such cases
that the medicinal powers of Hoods
Sarsaparilla are clearly shown. Thou
sands who have taken Hoods Sarsa-
parill, testify to is -great merits as a
purifier of blood, its powers to restore
and sharpen the appetite ana promote
healthy action of the digestive or
gans. Thus it is, not what we saw but
what Hoods Sarsaparilla does that
tells the story and constitutes the
strongest recommendation that can be
urged for any medicine. Why not
take Hoods Sarsaparill now?

Land Selections.

OLYMPIA, May 30.-The board oil
state land commissioners has adopted
measures looking to vigorous prose
cution of the work of state land selec-
tions, at least to the full extent per.
mitted by the government surveys
For this purpose four parties will be
put into the field Immediately, three
of which will confine their work to
the western side of the state, and one
in the eastern portion. From this
time forward selections will be made
as fast as suitable land can be located
and unless unforeseen obstacles prevent
the several grants from the general
government to the state will be filled
within reasonable time.

His Big Friend.

A crowd gathered on wharf in San
Francisco had an opportunity to see a
dog rescue another dog from drowning,
and to- 60 about his work as intelligent
ly as if he had been the trained officer
of humane society.
A small terrier dog fell from the
stringer Of the wharf into the bay.
He swan around for some time in a
circle, and many plans were suggested
for his rescue, but none of them PROV
ed practical. The little creature SEEM
ed doomed to watery grave, for he
was fast becoming exhausted. Just at
the moment that all hopes of saving
the terrier were gwen up, the bark of
dog in the crowd attracted attention.
which appeared to be a large New
foundland He saw the little fellow
III the water, and with low wall he
ran to and fro along the wharf. and
then, he sprang into the water, and at
once swan to the terrier. He siezed
him by the neck with his teeth. and
after swimming about for some time.
sighted the new sea-wall extension.
about hundred yards distant, for
which he headed. Upon landing his
burden on terra-frma, the Newfound-
land gave two or three sharp banks,
and seemed to be proud of what he had
done. It was some time before the
terrier was able to gain strength to
walk.
One OF the witnesses to the strange
sight patted the Newfoundland dog,
and said, "Tbis dog is mine, and l
would not take thousand dollars for
him at this moment"

The first annual report for the year
ending May23, 1896 of the Depart
ment of Mercy and L. T. l.. work, in
w. G. I. U. of Shelton.
No. of Mercy meetings 8; No. OF
children belonging to l.. I. J.. and
Band of Mercy, Sc; average attend
ance %.
Children gave one dime social, net
proceeds $3.50. They have listened
to three lectures, also during our con-
vention the children marched, with
their banner, to the M. E. Church
and there enjoyed two very entertain
ing and instructive talks by our State
President, Miss Page and Mrs. Graves.
During L. T. L. meetings we use the
Temperance Lesson Manual, subjects
under discussion are us follows: Vol
|. First, alcohol and the body /;
second, alcohol and the body; third
alcohol and the pocket book; fourth,
alcohol and the nation; Vol. 2 House
that we live in; Beer the body; Tobacco.
In the Band Of Mercy we use Lessons
on kindness to animals, by G. T..
Angel. dare say some people will
say what do you talk to us about
kindness to animals for? Blessed are
the merciful, for they shall obtain
mercy. Open thy mouth for the dumb
prov. :S.) Every beast of the forest
is mine and the cattle upon a thou
sand hills. (Ps. 147 80
We are glad to report Band OF
Mercy at New Kamilche, also one up
the valley at Kamilche with 20 mem
bers. There is no work more likely to
bring good results, not only in diminu-
ton of cruelty to animals, but in re-
filming and softening influences on the
human character. The evidence of
those who have had experience in this
work proves this. It is on record, that
of about seven thousand children care
fully taught kindness in one English
school and whose careers were watch
ed, not one was ever charged with a
criminal offense; while of about two
thousand criminals in American
prisons, it was found that only twelve
had any pet animals. During child
hood, and ample testimony can be
furnished in support of the fact that
murderers and perpetrators of other
crimes OF cruelty against humanity
have generally made dumb creatures
their first victims.
Pledge of the Band of Mercy:
will try to be kind to all living crea-
lures.

Thin out Your Fruit.

One year the fruit trees in Washing-
ton will produce tremendous crop
and then for several years the trees
that have borne so heavily will suffer
a reaction. A fruit tree cannot sup
port a heavy crop year after year, any
more than anything can stand being
worked to its utmost. With large
crops the trees require year or two
to recover and make up lost growth.
Where they are reasonably thinned out
the fruit is larger and better of quality,
and fully makes up in weight for what
has been removed, while there is but
trifing percentage of dwarfed or in
sipid fruit. What is now required for
our markets is fruit of good flavor and
quality and the attention OF growers
should be directed to the best methods
Of securing it.
In speaking of this matter of thin
ming, L. A. Goodman, leading horti-
culturalist of the United States, says ::
"No tree should have more fruit on
it than it can hold up well and mature
to perfection that is to say that the
trees should not be so loaded AS 20 re-
