FRANCIS JONES COMPANY.

Last Thursday night the Francis
Jones Company played "In Old
Madrid" in the Opera house, to a fair
sized audience. The performance was
in every respect first class, showing
siis to be one Of the best companies on
the road. Francis Jones possesses
talent of high order, and it is but fair
to say that he is ably supported. Billy
Marble, as Don Jose Rodegez, fire.
quently brought down the house.
Della Watson, musical director, is a
pianist of exceptional merit. The
Francis Jones Company is thoroughly
good, and deserves liberal patronage.

FIRE FIGHTERS DIsBAND.

AT meeting of the fire companies
Thursday evening, it was decided by
vote, to disband both organizations.
Before doing so the step was fully
discussed by the members. It was un-
animously agreed that unless the bust
ness people and the city council assist
ed in a financial way the companies
could not be maintained. Many sig
niied a willingness to again join
fhould an organization be perfected
and guaranteed the support of those
who should aid in maintaining a fire
company.

their discovery and soon unearthed
two moulds such as are used in coin

have no doubt if the owner wants
them, and applie] in person, they will
be delivered up.

recitations and orations. A number

the occasion very much.

NOTHING LAWFUL in IDAHO.

4cislon by the supreme court in the fee
law case no one can tell whether Idaho
has on her statute books a valid law.
So far every act called into question
before the supreme court has been de-
clarcd unconstitutional on account of
technical violations of constitutional
provisions in its enactment. And now
The sheriffs, constables and justices of

Fire at GrangeVllle.

From all indications it appears that
most of the laws passed by the last
memorable populistic corruption leg
islature will be passed on by the su .
preme court and that there won't be
much law left when the court gets
through with them. On Monday the
warden of the penitentiary went up to
Rathdrum for two prisoners convicted
of robbery and the sheriff refused to
turn them over and will take them to
Boise himself and present his bill to
the state for payment under the old
law which provides for the payment Of
30 cents per mile. The law providing
that the warden of the penltentiary
shall go after prisoners sentenced to
serve terms in the penitentiary, passed
by the combination legislature, was
passed as many other laws were and
is undoubtedly unconstitutional. The
legality of the passage of the law auth
Orizing the assessment and collection of
taxes for 1897 is being questioned and
it is probable that the revenue law will
be attacked within the next few weeks.
Ii the law is not constitutional it should
be declared void and next winter men
should be sent to the legislature who
will attend to business and not debauch
themselves like the fusion combination
did last winter.-Moscow Mirror.

TALLEST WOMAN on EARTH.

Eight feet, lacking an inch, is the
height of Miss Minnie Powers, of Lock
port, New York. She Is the tallest
woman in the United States. How
greatly she surpRsses average women is
shown by statistics. The average
height of American women according
to William Blake, the expert on ply
steal culture, is Ave feet four inches.
English women are two inches taller,
which is doubtless due to many genera
tions of outdoor life and sports. The
modern American woman, however, is
following her English cousins in their
passionate love of athletics and the
younger American women have shown
a wonderful growth and a more pro-
nounced tendency to ample physical
proportions.

Duty on Cotton Ties.

The Republicans, in framing
their new tariff, have taken cotton
ties of the free list and placed .
duty on them of Ito of . cent per
pound, which the farmers of the
South will have to pay out Of their
own pockets, and thus the small
profit which they make on the cot
ton they raise will be still further
reduced. If the Democrats in the
Senate, however, will make de-
termined stand against the restora-
ton of the duty on cotton ties there
is good reason to believe that they
will be able to defeat it. Free
cotton ties was a concession in the
Wilson bill to the Southern far
mers, just as free binding Irvine
was a concession to the farmers in
the West, and were Of great benefit
to the producers of both sections.

Bill to Reimburse Con-
federate Soldiers.

Washington, Jan. 30.-Repre-
sentative Cox, of Tennessee, to-
day introduced a bill of which the
first section follows:
ssWhereas, on the 10th day of
April, 1865, the army of Northern
Virginia, commanded by Gen.
Robert +. Lee, surrendered to the
Federal army, commanded by U.
S. Grant, at Appomattox, in the
State of Virginia, and by the agree
ment of said surrender artillery
and cavlary commanders were per-
mitted to retain their horses, side
arms, baggage, and private SOL
diers their horses belonging to
them. After said surrender and
after said soldiers were paroled and
were on their way to their respec-
tive homes, Federal soldiers, under
orders in violation of the terms of
the surrender, by force took from
said paroled officers and soldiers
their horses, baggage and side
arms, which were never returned
to them. Two hundred thousand
dollars is appropriated by the bill
to reimburse the Confederate SOL
diers, or their heirs, for such vio-
lation Of the agreement"

A French physician has invented
a method by which he says iron
can be given in large doses. Hens,
ne noticed, have powerful internal
organs. They can digest consider
able quantities of iron, and then
render it back, through the albu-
men of their eggs, in form which
is easily digested by the weaker
stomache of man kind. So he
feeds his hens with what he calls
''a very absorbent salt of iron,"
mingled with grains of wheat, and
they lay eggs extremely rich in
iron already digested.

Der to New York firm recently.
The lumber is to be shipped to

place, for, in addition to this barge
of gum sold to New York, they
recently sold another barge of gum
consisting of 100000 feet to =

has been considered as of no value;
it was deadened and burned in the
fields, but it is now rapidly taking
its place in the market among val

1t is reported by those in a posi-
ton to speak authoritati vely that
the Cuban policy of the next adj
ministration will be exactly the
reverse of that of the present.
This does not necessarily mean
that the new administration will
recognize the independence Of
Cuba, as its action in regard to
that matter will depend upon the
state of things in Cuba after the
4th of March. The Cleveland
policy of debating to Spain how
the question shall be settled and
how the island shall be governed,
and practically agreeing to stand
sponsor for proper administration
of the government which we suggest
that Spain shall establish in Cuba,
is, so the members of the Senate
Foreign Relations Committee say,
directly opposed to the traditions
of this country and is an illogical
position for the government to
take. This position will be aban-
doned by the next administration
and a definite and we'll defined
policy will be adhered to which
will protect American interests in
Cuba, and if events warrant it the
independence Of Cuba will be rec
ognized.

A drummer, just returned from
the Florida circuit, says he threw
out a suggestion to a shooting
range proprietor in Tampa, upon
which the latter has been liter
ally coming money. The bulls
eye in the shooting range was an
efhgy of q negro. When it was
put up few years ago it was i'm
mensely popular for a while, but it
gradually became an old story and
people got tired of shooting at it.
The drummer's suggestion was to
take down the negro efiigy and put
an efiigy of Gen. Weyler, leader of
the Spanish forces in Cnba. The
shooting range proprietor, with
keen business sagacity, saw the
wisdom of the hint and had the
town artist to make splendid life
size bulls eye representing Gen.
Weyler standing proudly with
bulls eye over his heart. No
sooner was it up than the place was
stormed by Cubans. They waited
outside in lines, waiting to get a
shot at Weyler, aud the shooting
range had to send off for more
ammunition. One Cuban offered
five dollars for the privilege Of
sticking knife in it, and another
offered ten to smite it as hard IS
he could with , baseball club.
The shooting range man is getting
rich, and neigboring towns are tax
ing the hint.-Times-Dem
