Elliott in the Lecture Course

The next number in the lecture
course will be "Impersonation ,of
Plays" by Edward p. Elliott, March
lS This is claimed to be "the most
unique, fascinating and difficult en-
tertainment offered to the public
The lavish commentator of Mr..
Elliott's performances by the better
class of journals seem to Justify the
claim. We quote the following as
samples:
New York Tribune: His rendi-
tion was thoroughly delightful. A
beautiful story arranged and handled
with remarkable skill. 1t was n
charming entertainment,
Danbury tCounD Nows; Mr.. FL
liotts performance may briefly be
termed a one man comedy. He por-
trayed all of the characters, and SO
we'll did he act each part that the
play was perfectly presented
Atlanta Gao Constitution. A
large audience gathered at the Audi
torium last night to hear Mr. Edward
u. Elliott. To say that the audience
was delighted is too mild, for his
cleycrrendition of the bright comedy
kept the audience in continual up
roar. Mr.. Elliott Is marvellous en-
tertalnor.

Il Won't Work.

One of the smooth bores" of the
Hanna Mckinley gang has COM
menced to advocate a non-partisan
party for next years political fight
in Gilmore. These "more holier
than thou" fellows are awful anx-
ious to work up some scheme by
which they can ring in few of
their ilk to Office, but it won't work.
The people OF Gilmore county are,
by big majority, in favor of Bryan
and free silver and next year will
demonstrate that fact in louder
tones than ever. Intelligent Demo
Gratis, Populists and Silver Repub-
lie ans will not be deceived by such
clap trap. Having in mind the con-
dition of affairs in this school dis
trict, brought about by these same
hypocritical na-McKinley wor-
Shipping ''non-partisans," their hopes
and intentions are plainly discern
able--but, as slick as they are, they
can't fool the people again. In the
language of the HALEY News-Miner,
of the silver issue should not enter
into a city election, ought it to enter
into a county or State election?
Where should the dropping of this
issue be stopped? Where should
the dividing line be drawn? The
fact is, the silver party or any other
party, in order to become q power,
can not afford to drop its main is
sue in any election, and it is chiefly
Republicans, in sections where the
Republican party has nearly disap-
peared, and where iG is past resur-
rection-where nothing can save it
and nothing can hurtit-it is chiefly
these Republicans who are found to
be engineering the mon partisan"
movement in the interest of purity"
or some other old political chestnut.
1t was stated in Idaho time with
out number that everybody in this
State was for silver, but the election
returns are a standing contradic-
ton Of the statement. 1t is not
pretty to call any man a liar or any
statement a lie; SO in this case the
returns take the unpleasant task
and make a good, convincing job
of it."

Murdered for Money.

The identity of the man muir
dered in Long valley has not yet
been learned. 1t is feared he may
have been c. ii. Bogue, who is op-
Grating placer property near War
rens. He was due at Boise soon
after the murder was made known,
and the description furnished of the
victim fits him. 1t is particularly
striking in its reference to the hands
of the victim, which are said to have
been very small. A letter furnished
the Idaho World, from Van Wyck,
dated October Goth, says:
Last Wednesday two men in q
light rig stopped at Levi Kimbal's
and bought some hay, then drove
on through town and it is supposed
camped at what is known as the
Jerry Lester cabin. The next day
one of the men came back to Van
Wyck alone, and was drinking and
spending money freely. He kept
this up until Sunday, when some
Of the citizens thought it best to
look fer the man who was with him.
Messrs, Worthington, Mccall and
Cross went to the Lester cabin and
found where they had made bed
of some of the hay on the floor.
After looking around for some time
they noticed fresh wagon tracks
leaving the road and going up a
gulch close to the house. Follow
ing the tracks, they could see some
thing had been dragging behind the
wagon. They went to where the
wagon turned and started back to
the road. Tom Worthington looked
down the hill, and there, in plain
sight, lay the missing man, wrap
ped in his blankets, a rope around
his neck and through his mouth, to
drag by. They made a brief ex.
animation of the body and found
two bullet holes in the side of the
head. From all appearances he
had been shot while asleep. A let
ter on his person was addressed to
John Decker. The other man, who
gave his name as ]. ID. St. Clair
went to Joe Robbins house Friday
and stayed there until Sunday
when he was arrested. Decker's
blood stained coat and vest were
found in St. Glars possession, also
800 in cash, supposed to belong to
the murdered man. He was armed
with a knife and pistol, In the
pistol were two empty shells. He
was drunk when arrested and told
several conflicting stories, Since
be became sober he will not talk"
Since putting the above in type
the Statesman of Monday brings
the information that the murdered
man was John Decker of Spokane
A letter from his wife was founc
upon him, written at Spokane. Hi

through the country to look VI
