AGood Entertainments.

.sThe Pixies" put on by the pupils of
the public schools last night was an
enjoyable entertainment. While in
some places the little actors lost their
lines, there were good excuses for the
slips, as the time for preparation was
too short for 50 great an undertaking.
The drill and dance by the archer
cadets was exceptionally fine. There
were many laughable situations and on
the whole the show was good The
UNION understands that the enter
prise was not as prof BILE as it should
have been. but nothing was lost so the
result was not disastrous. H.. g.

While the merchants are not COM
planning about their Christmas trade,
some Of them were disappointed. The
people are better off financially this
year than for several seasons past, but
they preferred paying debts to pur-
chasing presents. Therefore some of
the merchants will carry over some
Christmas goods but most of them
will carry fewer book accounts into the
new. year.

Land Reappraisement.

The state land board at its recent
session took important action with re-
spect to the reappraisment Of land,
this action being set forth in the fol-
lowing notice:
Boise, Idaho, March p, 1897. TO
the county treasurers of the state Of
Idaho: Gentlemen: BY house bill
No. 22S, passed by the Fourth legisla-
ture Of the state Of Idaho, and APP
proved March 8, 1897, the state land
board Is empowered to order reap.
praisment Of state lands when in the
judgment of the board the best inter-
ests Of the state would be served there
by. At a meeting Of the board held
on the cath day Of March, 1897, the
subject Of the reappraisment of lands
was thoroughly discussed. ana it was
unanimously agreed that the future
policy OF the board in regard to appli-
cations for rappraisement of land,
would I've to require the applicant TO
furnish the board with satisfactory
proof that the appraisenent of the
lands sought to be reappraised is too
high, and the interests Of the state re-
quire reappraisement. These proofs
should be made by the affidavit Of the
applicant, corroborated by the atfida.
Wits Of two disinterested witnesses,
who are acquainted with the tract
sought to be reappraised, and CONVEX.
SAINT with the rates Of rent charged In
the vlcinity Of the land, and that the
appraisment is Inconsistent with the
market value and rental value of the
lands sought to be reappraised.
1t was, also. the sense ct the board
that the secretary thereof should i'm
mediately inform the various county
treasurers ut the state as to the policy
which the board would hereafter adopt
In ordering reappralseMents, and re-
quest them to inform applicants for
leases Of such policy, and advise the u
rs to how to proceed to obtain u reap.
praisment Of any land which they may
desire to lease.
In view of the fact that the act of
the legislature above referred to pro-
vides that the rental sum may not he
charged In advance, the board has de.
cided to adopt the policy of requiring
lessees to execute note to the state
for the rent charged for the lease Of
land, payable on or before the 3lst day
Of December In each year, with two
COED and sufficient suretits or indorsers
thereto, tn be approved by the board;

into clump of bushes to hide and
rest nearby; and while there the
sguaws who followed the warriors to
rob. MURDER and mutilate the fallen
soldiers, came upon him. They robbed
the dead cOInrade, aud while in .he
net they had observed the PROSTATE
man. His big cavalry boots stuck out
III the brush very near the Indians.
He knew the least Tovement of the
boots would invite his death; and to
wait his turn to he stripped would be
equally disastrous. He decided to
club his gun at the last moment. In
the meantime he slipped his feet out
Of his big boots and secreted himself in
the brush more security. The suuaws
pulled the boots out o the brush ard
w're surprised to ind no man in them;
but they took the boots and went on in
their fiend.sh work; and left the
soldier barefoot with an empty gun,
with Indians swarmlng all around.
This mans name was McCarty.
-. Another hero of the White Bird fight
was Bill Bloom. He was u volunteer
from Mt. Idaho; and he rode pet
mare which broke down under the
hard work he required OF her. So
faithful had she been that he decided
to save her from the indians or die
with her. He walked and urged her
on while he fred his rifle ut Indians
that came In range. His aim was 80
good that the savages feared him and
they resOrted to strategy to get him
out OF their way, as they followed and
harrassed the retreating army. Bloom,
however, while his friends pleaded
with him to take fresh horse and fly,
refused all offers of assistance, and
urged the old mare on by punching
her with his gun, while he watched to
the right and the left for Indians.
Finally the old mare stopped still with
head dropped, nostrils extended aud
-ides heavy in evidence of distress.
Bloom leaned his gun against her and
sat down upon boulder to fill his
pipe. As he whitfield the plug of
tobacco bullet cut the hair from the
back Of his neck. He ducked down
laid his pipe, knife and tobacco care
fully on his saddle and grasped the
ready gun. He turned in the direction
from which the shot came, peeked
through the brush, saw y moving
object, fired, and a yell Of agony in
stead Of ar whOop, told the story of
a dead Indian. He fought, drove his
saddle mare slowly on and smoked az
be went leaving evidence of his cour-
aye and deadly aim behind hin-a
record that the indians respect to this
day.
