MIXED THEIR DRINKS

Sam Ennis, a miner who has been
employed for several months by the
Lapwai Mining company at their pla
Ger claim on the upper Clearwater, died
Sunday night at Harpster, the result of
protracted spree. With two other
miners he began drinking Saturday
evening. The party consumed large
amount of whisky, and when the sup
ply was exhausted drank eleven bottles
of Jamaica ginger, three of Perry
Davis pain killer and four bottles
Hostetters bitters. Early Sunday even
ing Ennis collapsed into unconscious
ness, and later came the slumber of
death. Another member of the party
Is supposed to be in a critical condi-
ton.

It shows that the gentlemen under

what attractions are and how to se-
cure them. The Jubilee will be a
grand success. 1t has our benedic-

about the best thing it could have

hundreds of Idaho's good people will

SHOULD BE GRANTED.

A petition is being circulated ask
ing the County Commissioners to ap
propriate $3.50 per annum to assist
the militia company. 1t is hoped and
believed the County fathers will grant
the prayer. Co. A is a credit to the
county and affords schooling which
every young American ought to have.
Thus far the boys have been obliged
to pay rent and incidental expenses
cut of their own pockets which makes
it burdensome to maintain the com
pany The amount asked is a tritle
and would not be felt. A careful cal
culation shows that it would hardly
be 10 cents a year to each taxpayer,
and the poorer people would have
only about a fourth thai much to
pay or 215 cents a year, THE TRI.
BUNE sincerely hopes the Commits
sioners will be patriotic and liberal
enough to make the appropriation.

are obliged to decline, not crassly,
but with delicate and ceremonious
tirmness. We have a large and tu-
multuous family on our hands with the

wELooMg lie FRIENDs.

A party of II Quakers are looking
over this section Of the State with a
view to finding homes for some 500
families which they represent. They
came from Kansas, Nebraska, Iowa
and Illinois. During the past week
they nave been shown about Nampa
aud Boise. 1t is understood that Mr..
Lowell has taken them in charge and
will show them the Roswell country
today. This afternoon they are expec-
ted in Caldwell and it is hoped the
citizens here will make arrangements
to entertain them. There is no sec
ton Of the United States which offers
greater inducements to home seekers
than this port of Idaho. There are
cheap lands, abundant water and ex-
cellent climate, The people of Cald-
well should impress on these visitors
that this is just the country they are
looking for, and that they will be
heartily welcomed and we'll treated if
they conclude to settle here perma-
nently. There is no better class OF
people anywhere than the Friends
and ourselves, and together we would
make community to be proud Of.
Let us then meet these visitors cor
daily, showing them our country and
Its products and urge them to come
and make their homes among us.

The New Y oTk Herald, which keeps
in close touch with Congressional SEN
timent, declares the Hawaiian treaty
will be ratified, though it may be de-
layed until the next session. 1t says:
Hawaiian annexation is certain. 1t
may not come during the present ses-
sion of Congress, bat it will not be de-
layed longer than the next session. If
the treaty could be brought to a vote
during the present session it would be
ratified. 1t is only a question as to
how long the minority can staye off
vote.
" The treaty and the message of the
president have meet with such general
approval throughout the country that
the Senate cannot long delay action.
When it becomes apparent that the Op-
ponents of the treaty Will not permit
it to come to a vote during this ses-
sion an effort will be made by the
friends of the project to secure the
passage of resolution carrying out
article of the treaty, which provides
for the appointment of commission
of five, including at least two residents
of the islands, who shall TecO mmend
to Congress such legislation for the
territory of Hawaii as they shall deem
necessary or proper.
"The commission could be ready to
report by the time the treaty is ratified
in the next session, and thus the islands
could be put under their permanent
territorial government practically as
soon as annexed.

TARIFF BILL PASSED.

The Dingley tariff bill passed the
Senate Thursday, having been discus
sed by that body for six weeks. 1t
was introduced into the House about
the goth of March, so has been under
Congressional consideration a little
over three months, This is the quick
est time ever made on a tariff bill.
1t goes to a confer ence committee at
once, and the general impression is
that an agreement will be reached in
ten days or two weeks. The number of
amendments made by the Senate is
S74, The bill passed by a vote of 80
to %. Senator Heitfeld was present,
but did not vote. Those voting for
the bill were 50 Republicans, two sill
yer Republicans, Mantle of Montana
and Jones of Nevada, and one Demo
crat When the Dingley bill is finally
passed and signed by the President
the time will have arrived for be-
ginning of that prosperous period which
the Republicans promised and which
the country is anxious to greet. And
if, after a reasonable time, the ex-
pected results do not follow, then it
will be in order to criticise and con-
denim the Republican theory.
