A glance at the tax levy Of the differ |
ent counties Of the state show that La !
tabs Ii the lowest on the list being |
- 20 on the hundred dollars. Yet we
hear some Of the organs OF the ''old
combines" following about demo pop |
incapability, mismanagement and such
trash. The above figures are one OF the
strongest evidences of the benefits OF
genuine reform and shows that our
county officers have the necessary BUSH
mess qualifications 10 run affairs right.
Let the good work 60 on, the reform
forces need no better evidence to nlG-
mately win.-Kendrick Times.
Several prOspectors returned from Fall
Creek, beyond the Salmon river, the
fore part OF the week, with samples Of
ore recently discovered in that vicinity.
The ore seems more or less base, but
this draw back is we'll com pensated by
high assay value and size Of hedges.
Many prospectors, q number OF whom
have operated extensively in this basin,
consider the Fall Greek region the bast
field for prospecting they have seen. As
this is Ola u direct line between Florence
and Warren. it goes to prove that these
two camps are on the same mineral belt,
and will add several links to the chain
OF rich mines between these points

Two Caldwell doctors engaged in a
knock down at the bedside Of patient,
not for the delectation Of the sick man
and to enliven His spirits with view to
effeetins a cure, but because one had ae-
cused the other of stealing the Case.
While the tistic encounter was not ar
ranged for the Lenefit OF the patient, he
no doubt enjoyed it and Was improved
thereby. An enlivsning, thrilling event
is usually more effective in restoring n
a patient to health than the most highly
recommended medicines. When doctors
work themselves into passion and
pummel each other it is fun for their
patients. and fun produces more behe-
tictal effects than physicians prescrip-
tions.-Idaho World.
Some of the merchants OF Moscow
were taken in last week by pair of
advertising fakirs who raked in over
500. Many of the contributors to these
fakirs exchequer never patronize a news
paper. and should they invest in Il two
bit advertisement would feel that they
we're making the proprietor OF the pub
LEGATION u donation, or su bscribe and pay
for the paper consider that the money
Was wasted. A majority of the fellows
who bite at these advertising schemes
apparently fail to realize that the news
paper is one OF the chief means Of nd.
vertising the country, while the projec-
tors Of these fakes do nothing bot catch
suckers. Moscow Mirror.
Spain has insisted on charging against
Cuba an enormous mass Of indebted
ness, on account Of the various Cuban
wars. She wants to make Cuba pay the
cost Of her own suppression. That in
debtedness il so large that to pay it
would mean ruin to Cnba. Against sad
ding it upon Cuba, the Cubans, includ-
ing even those who are willing to remain
under the Spanish crown, are fully com.
mittel. On other points they may
change their minds. On that one there
10 no ground for expectation that they
will. II Senior Sagasta can offer them
real autonomy, with release from all fin
ancial obligations cave those properly
pertaining to the island itself, he may
succeed in effecting q compromise and
IN ending the war without losing the
province. But to do that in the present
state Of Spanish finances will be an IN
dertaking from which any statesman
might we'll shrink.-N. Y. Tribune.
Richard Kissinger has q name that
fits the man. He is employed in the
Newcastle tinplate works in Pennsy-
lvania, kissed one OF the English lassies
in the busting department, and was dis
charged by the superintendent. OrJIn-
arily that would not be matter OF more
than passing interest, bot in this case
little kiss has brought up an important
point between capital and labor. Kiss
niger is a union workman, and his labor
organization demanded that he be re-
stored to employment. The superin-
tendent refused to comply Nth the de-
mand, and 200 men and boys went on q
strike. The strikers claim that the uirl
was willing to be kissed, and therefore
Rissinger's little act Of CALAMITY was
not OF sufficient seriousness to Justify
his discharge. The cir! herself says she
was not kissed, but even II she had
been, a little affair Of that kind was not
serious enough to cause . suspension OF
