Since the wreck at American Falls,
Hobos have to foot it over the Short
Line. 1t was this class of people who
caused the wreck, and it has scared the
brakes into being more honest toward
the company.
The Jap boy who delivers goods for
from sudden death the other day by the
delivery horse running away. In cross
ing the railroad the Jap was thrown from
the seat and fell between the horse and
the single Tree, and on which he caught.
Every jump the horse made he struck
the Jap with his heels, but had he kick

A town, unlike city, is no place to
foster jealousy and nourish contentious.
All should learn to know that whatever
will conduce to the welfare of town
cannot injure her citizens. The dispo-
sition made manifest by her citizens
point to her downfall or rise. Harmony
among the people of community is as
necessary to their success as is air to
sustain life. There are, however, in
every town, few pin-heads who by
their careless remarks, stir up strife, in
jure their best friends and ignorantly
persist in so doing. "Be careful of what
you say, and when, and where, and
how"
AS Joe Darrah was driving home We'd
nesday in his road cart, the horse be-
came frightened and Runaway, but when
about three miles from home the single
tree broke and the horse went on and
left Joe and the cart in the middle of
road, unframed. After collecting his
scattered thoughts, Mr.. Darrah hitched
himself to the cart and started on home.
He had proceeded but a short distance
when ground hog suddenly jumped
from the brush by the road side. With
a snort away went Joe-a runaway in
earnest-over rocks and sage brush, for
two miles, when he was stopped by some
cowboys. He still had piece of one OF
the thills in his hand, but the remainder
Of the cart was strung along road and is
a total wreck.
A good story is told on a young man
in Shoshone. He attended a dinner
party the other day and was seated to
the left of an enhancing young lady,
who, noticing that he was unusually
quiet, asked him the cause. He replied
that he was in a nervous state about his
health and feared serious illness. His
fair companion expressed hope that.
his fears were unfounded. "Ah, no. he
replied. ~ am afraid there is no doubt
of it, for have been pinching the entire
surface Of my right leg and can elicit no
responsive feeling whatever. The leg
seems quite dead to all feeling and am
apprehensive of stroke of paralysis"
"Oh!" exclaimed the young woman.
eff that is all that is troubling you can
relieve your anxiety, tor the leg you
have been pincbing all the evening is

The election of school trustees took
place on Monday. On that morning
number of our leading citizens met and |
placed in nomination, F. w. Gooding |
for trustee for three years and j. F. |
White for trustee for one year. The |
polls were opened at 2 o'clock and the |
voting commenced. There was no OPP |
position to the above named candidates,
as they were considered the right men |
for trustees. All but about IL dozen votes |
which were evidently cast by personal
cast for Messrs. Gooding |
and White and they were therefore
unanimously elected. That
the trustees. as they now stand, will |
run our schools and run them right, is
conclusion, as all have had a
deal of experience as school trustees,
and as such have given the best Of salts
faction. No one man or bunch of men
will be dictator to the school board for
some time to come.
