A BUDGET FROM OLA.

A Quiet Settlement Develops Some Sen
acknowledgements Men In Arams-
Eight Good BeeVes MiSsing-Slept
With His Step Daughter That's All.
The little village of Ola over in Boise
county has been considerably worked
up of late, according to grape vine
dispatches. Ben Old has become
the hero of number of more or less
unsaYOrY adventures. Ben, who is a
man of years and discretion also the
happy pOsSessOr of a charming step
daughter, is endowed with an expan-
siVe and ELUSIVE filial affection. He
has made it a rule of domestic conduct
to share with his own flesh and blood
the same humble cot, Recently, it is
said, he extended this amiable canon SO
as to include the couch occupied by his
lovely daughter, a step removed. Some
of Ola's prudish society took exceptions
to Ben's paternal bent and invoked the
interference of civil authority. A COM
plant was drawn up in regular legal
phrase, charging Ben with a nameless
crime against the peace and dignity of
the people of Ola in the State of Idaho.
But the step daughter in interest re-
fused to become a party TO such repre-
hensible proceedings. She protested
that while she and Ben frequently
occupied the same place of repose, con-
temporaneously, yet. it was like one
that wraps the drapery of his virtuous
couch about him, and lies down to
pleasant dreams. 1t seems that the
law had not contemplated such a cir
Cumstance, so Ben's domestic regula-
tons remain undisturbed.
The other day Ben and a tistive cit
iZen of Ola named Rage had q falling
out which for a while was propitiuns
of blOodshed, The belligerents agreed
to an armistice while each retired to his
private armory and panoplied himself
in the implements of war. When they
reappeared each was walking arsenal
and the clouds of blood and carnage
began to lower, but Rage saw that
Ben's armament was superior in the
matter of self-cocker and three bowie
knives. So Rage ordered retreat and
incontinetly fed. He has not since
been visible to the most searching
glance, and it is feared that his impetus
was so great that he is still fleeing.
Eight large, fat beeves have recently
disappeared from Ola and Ben Young
is susT :tel of knowing something of
their whereabouts. AT any rate.
complaint has been lodged against him
and Monday a minioR of the law start
ed out for Emmett determined to ap-
prehend Ben if he could be located.
The people of Ola are beginning to
fear that something unpleasant will
yet happen to Ben unless turn in the
tide of his fortunes occurs presently.
Misfortune, they say, loves a shining
mark and is liable to hit Ben in the
neck most any day.

A Public Contract Said 10 HaYo Been

II reports be true Canyon county, s
new board of commissioners are a
queer lot of "reformers." 1t is cur.
rently reported that these agents of the
people paid off their first political debt
by letting the printing contract to Gov.
ernOT SteunenbeTg's newspaper at lO15
cents per line when there was another
responsible bidder proposing to do the
work for two cents line. There NAV
be some mistake about this, as there is
no reference made in the published
proceedings to any such bid having
been offered. There are plenty of hon
est old fellows down this way who are
willing to bet their last dollar that our
new commissioners never would do
such thing as to squander the hard
earned dollars of the tax payers in
times like the present, in reWarding
some political favoTite, while others
claim that If the board has done such
thing, our governor, whose very heart
bleeds for the poor tax ridden farmers
OF Canyon county, would see such an
order rescinded, if 1t took the entire
state militia to do 1t. But, we say
there must be some mistake about this
matter, because the letting of a public
contract to the highest bidder would be
a regular corker for a board uneuuiy-
Ocally pledged to Tetrenchment and
refom, That it may be understood we
have no feeling in this matter against
our good friends of the Record, we
want to say in this connection that the
Independent was not bidder for the
work, for the reason that we had our
doubts about those loud professions of
friendship for the dear people which
were made in every school house in the
county just before election. Last year
the Record had the printing at l2 cents
per line, and divided the same with the
Independent. The year before that
the Independent was awarded the con-
tract, did all the printing and saved the
county $1,000 We shall have to in.

A Calm Review BY One Who Was HIT
What a Leading POpullst Thinks
McGee the Prince Of Dupllclty-DemO
cratic Greed for Spells.
The PocatellO Advance, the onl,
honest POpulist paper in southern Ida
no, had this to say last week: aNoW
that the curtain has been rung down
on the last act of the political drama
that was placed upon the boards last
August under the title of "fusion" and
now that the leading characters, the
Populist and Democratic parties have
cast aside their stage attire and assum-
ed their own individuality again, q
brief review and criticism of the differ
ens actors may not be out of place.
From the 22nd day of August when
the articles of agreement of fusion
were ratified by both parties, certain
element of Democracy led by that
prince of political duplicity, James
A. MCGEE, endsavored by every means
IN their power to derive full advantage
from the .populist votes but to deliver
nothing in return. r. The
first shock that knocked the scales from
the peoples eyes, was in the organiza-
ton of the Legislature, when the Demo-
cratic love of Office oVercame all senti-
ments of decent good faith with their
allies, and through an alliance with the
common enemy secured all the spoils,
Next came the senatorial contest that
ended after three weeks struggle.
during which time the Democratic
leaders in the Legislature made no
pretense of fulfilling in good faith, their
contract. They refused to meet in
Joint caucus with the POpulist. but
attempted to stop the cravings Of an
outraged conscience by scattering their
votes to a dozen different POpullsts,
whom they well knew would never be
the choice of their own party. This
course was followed, as events after
ward proved, 10y some members, that
they might finally vote for Dubois, and
thus violate every pledge made their
constituents, it was followed by others
Just to crafty an unbridled desire to be
always false to everything and everybody.
The position of the majority of the
Democrrtfc members throughout was
to force the POpulists to elect some
man not acceptable to the party and
thus weaken and cripple the party to
whom they owed evey Yestige of Office
and power now their portion in this
state. The question now
uppermost in the minds Of thousands
Of voters in Idaho is, Was the conven.
ton contract carried out, and the party
honor maintained; if not, why not, and
who was to blame?
