on the Middle Salmon, Idaho, have
attracted widespread attention. C..

could entertain the cultivated and
make the humblest feel at home in
his presence. Every one who knew

and an affectionate brother. His
leading charactistic was unostenta-
tious charity. He died sincere

pemocra,.e County committee.

MIR. EDIToR:-Please allow me to
thank our county chairman for tho
little information he was able to give
to my queries, but l must admit I
am surprised that he should know SO
little about an organization of which
he has been the acknowledged head
for ten or twelve years. He presumes
the county committee were appointed
by the people, and yet a little further
on he tells US that when vacancy
occurred, the committee filled it,
which would indicate they were self
perpetuating. AS to it being their
duty to work for the success of the
democratic party, that is right, but
it seems to Inc that the "Cussing,n if
at all, should come from the sore
heads and disappointed office-seek-
ers in the opposing party, for surely
the committee should deal fairly
with the aspirants in their own
party, and if one of them should use
his official position to disparage an
aspirant in his own party, then a
vacancy ought to occur at once.
| also wish to thank him for the in.
formation where to apply if one
should desire to become a member of
the committee, but l assure him
that Subscriber has no ambition in
that direction and is perfectly will
ing that the people should decide
who shall be members.
1t strikes HE our chairman should
go slow in snubbing the ambition of
anyone daring to ask for informa-
ton, to which any loyal democrat is
entitled; at least, until he is better
informed himself, even if he has to
study ancient history to find out.

The community, of Machipon-
go Station and vicinity, was
stricken with grief last Monday af-
ternoon by the death of Miss Emma
Kelly. She had been sick about
three weeks, and although some anx-
iety was felt, she was not considered
dangerously i'll until few days be-
fore her death. She was one of the
most popular young ladies in this
county and was held in high esteem
by all her friends. She was about
81 years of age, and the only daugh-
ter of Mrs. Virginia Kelly, OF Mach
ipongo. In her death the commun-
ity loses a fine and accomplished
young lady, and the church a most
devout aud earnest Christian. The
bereaved mother has the sympathy
of everyone in this community. Only
two or three months ago, she fol-
lowed to the grave son, Mr.. Obed
Kelly, also a bright and highly es-
teemed young man. u.
