Some idiotic correspondent from
Mountainhome writes to the Salt
Lake Tribune that the miserable
bride taker JONES has probably
told the truth because a large ma
iority Of tho people in that county
wanted him to vote for Dubois.
II is just such miserable hog
wash as this that makes the aver
age man tired OF life. Ii large
majority OF the people OF that coun
~ wanted their representatives to
vote for Dubois then why in the
name of common sense did they
not elect the Dubois Representa-
tives. They were both good men
and neither OF them would have
disgraced themselves nor their coun,
Is. But the fact of the matter is
the people Of that county did not
want Dubois representatives and
so they elected men known to be
against him BY overwhelming ma
jor tiles. In fact rather than have
Dubois men elected they even went
50 far as 10 elect a crazy man. In
view Of the fact that even the Pop
ulists Of that county are now
ashamed Of him, we hardly think
that our Silver Republican friends
will want TO claim him.

THE JONES INVESTIGATION.

Nearly a month after our Legis-
lature elected a U. S. Senator, Rep.
resentative JONES of Elmore coun-
ty made an affidavit that he sold
his vote for two hundred dollars.
A committee was appointed to in
vestigate the matter and a large
amount of evidence was taken. The
substance of what was proven was
this--- JONES himself swore that he
sold his vote, that Representative
Perkins paid him 500 ard Rep
resentative Fuller paid him 5000.
JONES wife corroborated her hus
band to this extent only that she
received $500 from him. This is
all the evidence that was given to
sustain the charge of bribery,
In reply to this Mr. Perkins
denied that he ever paid JONES
anything for his vote and Mr.. Full
Ter made the same denial. Besides
it was shown that JONES had on
several occasions tried to extort
money corruptly from different |
persons.
The committee recommended the
expulsion of both JONES and Per-
kins. The House by very close
vote refused to expel either ot
them and here the miserable farce
ends.
We can account for this action
Of the House in only one way
that they did not believe JONES
even on his oath. Here is a miser-
lble dastardly wretch, who, accord
ng to his own testimony, is bride
aker and, according to the Judge
nent Of his fellow representatives,
s a perjurer.
II seems incredible that an intel
igent community, like the people
i Gilmore county, should elect
UGH man as JONES as their Rep
esentative in a legislative body.
VI course he is a Populist and so is
'erkins and SO is Fuller---all fair
representatives. OF the Populist par
y.
And yet this party sets itself up
s the party OF reform. The whole
roceeding is a disgrace to the =
tate, but it is some consolation to
now that no Democrat or Republic
an is mixed up in it. The people =
/ Idaho have had sample of re-
'rm under Populism and it is
oped they are satisfied.

GYPSY MOTH IN DERBY.
A Large Number Discovered on Cot
 tonwood Tree.

A Large Number Discovered on a Cot
 tonwood Tree
 Derby, Aug. 20.--The first nest of the gypsy worm found in this city was dis covered by William G. Taylor of the firm of Taylor & Gregory MT. Taylor happened to read a story of the de- structive pest few days ago and won- dered if the plague of other parts of New England would show up here. He therefore kept lookout for them. The article which he read said that the worms were most numerous on the un- der side of the leaves of English pop lars and it's family, and many plum trees were found which were blighted by the worm
 On his way back from dinner Thurs day he thought he would investigate in the old iron and steel works yard, where he knew there were saplings of the cot tonwood tree, which is member of the family of English poplar. He discover ed thousands of them on one small tree and took leaf from the tree which held about fifty of various ages and sizes
 The moth is a good deal like an elm tree worm, but about twice as big when full grown. In color and stripe it close ly resembles the latter worm. They eat the pulp and leave the leaf perfor- ated, as do the latter. No worms have yet been reported seen on fruit trees although in other parts they are said to have done much damage.
 There are several other cottonwood trees in that locality, on which it is believed the pest will be found in great num hers

PONIES AND DOGS.

Norris Bros peerless dog and pony show will exhibit under their big water proof tents on the lot on Howard ave- nue, near Kimberlay avenue, the old baseball grounds" next the railroad cut, each evening next week, and will also give matinees Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday at 230 p. m.
 This Is undoubtedly one of the best shows of its class on the road. The beautiful Shetland ponies and dogs have been trained to the highest possi- ble degree of perfection and perform the most difficult and comical acts with an intelligence almost human. It is show that Is entirely free from all ob- jectionable features, one that every person can witness without the least fear of seeing or hearing anything that will cause him to wish they had re- mained at home, as is often the case when visiting a tenting show. The greatest possible care is exercised to make this entertainment especially en- joyable to ladies and children.
 There are now a number of dog and pony shows throughout the country, | but Norris Brothers are the originators | of this class of amusement and the many difficult feats and entirely new | acts which they are continually adding
 make their performance so interesting
 and delightful that every person agrees
 that Norris Brothers are away ahead
 of all others and are in class by them
 selves. They will display their well
 groomed animals on street parade at
 Il a. m. Monday.

 livered.
 Additional particulars regarding the seventeenth annual reunion of the Hotchkiss family, which was held last Thursday in Prospect, are given as fol- lows:
 Over ninety people were present. rep resenting thirty-six families, coming from fifteen towns and two states, all being descendants of Stephen, the fath- CT of Captain Gideon Hotchkiss, who was one of the early settlers of what is now known as Prospect.

 George H.

AMERICAN BOARD FINANCES.
Statement of the Chairman of the Pru-
 dential Committee,

DtdLcHlGIL Ol lIlG SIldlIIIldH Ul NLIic u-
 dential Committee
 Boston, August 2O.-Chairman Edwin B. Webb of the prudential committee of the American board of foreign mis- sions has issued notice to the mem bers of the Congregational church throughout the country in reference to what appears to be a serious crisis in the financial condition of the board. He says:
 ''The gradual falling off in receipts for the first nine months of the year has been keen disappointment, but the uplift in June gave the hope of a turn in the tide. Instead of the contin- ued increase, the donations from churches and individuals for June are $17O0O less than in July, 1896, thus ere ating total loss of about $65000. Ev- cry effort has been made during the year, even to the crippling of the mis- sions, to reduce expenses to the proba- ble income"
 The prudential committee desire to make the situation clearly known, and they add that "unless help comes at once the result will be a burdensome debt at home as well as further crip- bling of work abroad"

ENTE7s1AINMENTS.
Hyperion Iheater.

If George H. Broadhurst, the author of the delightfully."- funny play, What Happened to Jones' which will be the opening attraction at the Hyperion next Thursday, August 18th for three nights, goes down to fame for nothing else, he should not be forgotten as the originator of a somewhat new and de- cidedly unique style of play titles. He began with "The Wrong MT. Wright" /" and started the ball rolling for the many peculiar names for plays that have been sprung in the past year by other authors. His method bids for an attractive oddity in titles that, no doubt will go a long way toward impressing the existence of certain pieces on the public mind What Happened to Jones'" is expected to make a great hit,
