THE PEOPLES CONFI-
DENCE MISPLACED.

The people of the states of
Idaho and Washington, believ-
ing that they had good and suffi-
Gent cause for changing the
political complexion of their
legislatures, believing that the
times and conditions justified a
close pruning down of every SUI
perhuous and unnecessary ex-
pense, and believing that the re-
form should be wrought out in
state Us well as national legisla-
ton, elected those whom they
felt sure were reformers, and
who would make an earnest and
honest endeavor to Tighten the
burdens of a people who had
grown weary Of waiting and
watching while they toiled for
a miserable subsistence, and
after an unusually vigorous cam,
paign in which all the vital
questions were ably handled,
and the crying needs of the
masses dwelt upon, and men
selected to carry out the wishes
of the people, regardless of
former party affiliations, what
do we find? That, with few ex-
ceptions, it were far better had
the mis-named legislators never
assembled.

KEEP THE WATER PURE.

The most important thing is

water, both for the house and

In time: Towns should cooperate
with each other along the streams,
whether the water is used for the
use of the reservoir and contami-
mated, it never gets pure again;
germs once planted are never en-
tirely eradicated. Even farmers
should cooperate with their
heighbors in keeping the small
streams pure. Barns, water closets
nor pig stys, should be put near
er than SO PAGES, if it may not
hurt the one above, it (by an,
alyses) will poison the water be

Away in cold Montana one

planted SO great that the second
year two per cent OF those who
lived within a mile below had
typhoid, the third year s per
cent, and the fourth year % per

the small barn. This water was
hot used by the families but the
emanation of the poisonous de,
posits along the bed and banks

the summer sun, the water was
rendered finally unfit for stock to

Following the post were two carriages
containing disabled veterans and ladies,
who were especially chosen to take charge
of the decoration of the monument and
had been taken from the different ladies'
organizations associated with the G.. A.
r. posts.
The procession presented a good mill
tary appearance and was watched with
great interest by gathering crowds along
the line of its march and from adjacent
windows of stores and residences.
The marching of the different organiza-
tions under arms was creditable, and the
National Guard and the High School
Cadets sustained the reputation which
they have well-earned for military pre-
cision and soldierly bearing which makes
them credit to the state and the CITY
which they represent. The Cleayes Rifles
are especially worthy of mention and to
be congratulated on their accuracy in
marching and their neat, trim military
appearance. They have reason to be proud
of the fine impression which they created
at this, their first public parade. On its
return march to Monument square the
column formed into line and surrounded
the Soldiers monument, the different
post organizations with their special
guard of honor, the Cleaves Rifles, being
assigned positions on the inner lines.
With an appropriate dirge by the band,
simultaneously advanced couples to the
four sides of the monument, bearing
beautiful wreaths of flowers which were
reverently laid at the foot of the shaft.
The march was then resumed and con-
tinued down Federal street to Exchange
and Congress, and upon reaching the
latter street the main. body formed into
line from column and gave a parting
''present arms to the veterans whose
every step and bearing indicated that
the military spirit of the days long since
past was not a mere reminiscence, but
an ever present possession of theirs to be
easily evoked as occasions require.
