At Mountain Home last week, Alfred
Freel was convicted of the murder of
John Kensler, at the home of the latter
on a ranch near Glenn's Ferry, on the
night of the 18th of October, 1896 I'm
mediately after the trial, Josie Kensler,
the widow of the murdered man, was
arraigned for trial as an accomplice of
Freel and upon trial was convicted of
murder in the second degree Upon
the day of the murder. Kensler and
Freel, who was working for him on his
ranch, went to Glenn's Ferry and drank
a good deal, taking several bottles of
whisky home with them. They quar-
relied after they got home, and later,
after Kensler had gone to bed, Freel
came into the house and shot him,
Kensler's wife, apparently approving
of the deed The two then took the
dead man out and buried him under
the side of an irrigating ditch, hitched
the team to the wagon and turned it
ldrift to convey the impression that he
had not arrived home The body was
not found until two months later, and
all the stories told by the guilty parties

'ence go to confirm their guilt.

That Idaho Coffee Pea.

T he Wood River Times gives his
tory of the much talked of Idaho coffee
pea. 1t states that the pea was first
brought to Camas prai rie about Il
years ago, by Mr.. Jeffers, who was
moving from Washington.
At the Dales, in Oregon, he saw a
strange plant growing in his cousins
garden and was told that it was coffee
bean. Its yield was fair, the shape of
the berry was between a pea and a
bean, and if roasted and not burnt it
made excellent coffee.
Mr.. Jeffers got few seeds and gave
half of them to Seth Heath and his wife
who live on their ranch, near Soldier,
and who are also well known to every
business man on Wood River.
The Heaths cultivated the plant for
nine years, when the crickets ate them,
and they have not cared to SOW any of
the seed since. In the mean time, how
ever, they gave seed to the neighbors,
who grve it its name. The young mem
bers of the Heath family, whenever
Mrs. Heath made coffee of the pea, con-
temptuously referred to it as "bean
soup" 1t is like bean soup in this
that the grounds must be settled
with eggs or they will remain in sus-
pension as bean flour does.
At present not settler on Camas
prairie is known to cultivate it. 1t is
discarded altogether.
A few years ago Mr. and Mrs. Heath
let Wesley Flowers have peck Of the
seed, as did Mr.. Jefers. He sent the
half-bushel of seed to his brother-in-
law, Charles Z. Pennock, of Cache-la-

would make fine figure behind rib
gon counter or some similar light en-
ployment.
After the performance, or rather, the
disappointment, and without the dis
concerting conditions which embar-
rassed him, the Professor gave private
exhibition at DR.. Plumers office at
which all who were present agree that
some of the tests were remarkable and
fully demonstrated that Mr.. Holzel
possesses strong hypnotic powers. 1t
is only fair to say Of him that his mex
perience in confronting u rather turbu-
lent audience was the cause of his fail
ure. With more experience he will be
all right.

The Free Miners Bill.

The bill which has just passed the
legislature Of British Columbia, pro-
hibitlng aliens from holding free min
ers' licenses does not prevent aliens
from purchasing claims and, therefore,
the law will not work such hardship
on the American prospector as was
at first supposed. 1t will only be neces-
sary for prospector to have as part
ner, British subject. Claims can be
staked in the Canadians name and the
prospector can afterwards become the
purchaser of the claim or portion of
it ut least
In one way it will not prove detri-
mental to this country. On the con-
trary, it will hasten the development of
many good section of mining country
that would otherwise have been over
looked this summer.
There is no question but that every
body or nearly everybody has the min
ing fever badly this year, and the vast
majority of them are anxious to go to
British Columbia, where the mining in
terests seem te center and where the
greatest number of paying mines have
been developed. This is only natural
as people always like to go where the
chief interest centers, but barred from
prospecting on that side of the line
they will turn their attention to the
mining districts of Washington and
Idaho and in consequence there will re-
suit an opening up of regions hereto
fore unexplored and which undoubt-
edly contain as rich deposits of mineral
as can be found across the border.
While the action of the British Col |
umbia parliament will cause some dis
to be felt among the pros
pectors who had made up their minds |
to spend the summer in the British |
Columbia mountains, there is no doubt |
that most of them will turn their at |
tention to other regions, which will |
perhaps result in more benefit to these |
states, while the law will not work any |
great hardship upon those who are |
to prospect across the line
in any Spokane Chronicle.

The shareholders of the South once
attempted to revolutionize the govern
ment to perpetuate that barbarous in
stitution, human bondage, which they
claimed existed by divine right. We
called that rebellion and the men
who plotted it,, traitors. The bond
holders of the north believed in revo-
lutionizing the financial system of the
government to increase the value of
their bonds and perpetuate the bur
dens laid upon the producers of the
country. They call that preserving
the nations honor. Definitions of the
same things differ.

Poudre Valley, Colorado. 1t did very
well there, according to the Denver
Times, and is in great favor, as its ad-
vocates alleges that it will yet build rail
roads and cities.
This spring the demand for the seed
was widespread. Orders for over a
ton of this seed came to this office de-
sides over thirty letters of inquiry
from Texas, from La Mesa, Cal, from
Oregon, from Vermont and from Idaho.
Others also received inquiries and
orders for seed. Wesley Flowers was
one of these. He wrote letters to the
Heaths and the Jeffers, offering to buy
what they had of it, and when they an
swered that they had none Mr. Flowers
replied that he could sell the pea seed
for so cents per pound.
Mr. Flowers lives on the old emf
grant road, just off the bench, about
nine miles south of HALEY. AS he has
had the best chance of anybody of
knowing just what the Idaho coffee
pea is capable of, it is strange that he
has not cultivated it upon large, or
any scale
Plants are like human beings Under
the most favorable conditions they do
better than when in less favorable or
situations. 1t may be that the
arid lands of the eastern slope of the
Rocky mountains are the ideal home of
the so called "Idaho coffee pea" 1t may
be that there the conditions of soil and
climate suitable to the maturing of the
plant to its greater attainable degree
of productiveness are found combined.
Yet all farmers, before incurring any
expense for seed in cultivatingit should
first, be sure they get the genuine seed
an second, test it on small scale.
To readers in Blaine county the
Times says, leave the Idaho coffee pea
severely alone, or cultivate it expert
only. 1t has not done very
we'll here, and all the settlers who
sought it because of its novelty have
lropped it altogether.

The Boise professor" who attempted
to entertain an audience of DeLamar
people, Wednesday night, got into too
high an altitude when he came into the
mountains, and lost all his hypnotic
powers. This is the only theory upon
which we can reconcile the rank fail
ure he made here with the reports Civ
EN- of his exhibitions in Boise, and the
fact that a reputable business man
from Boise, brought the professor,
over here and endorsed him.
The attempt made to hypnotic any
one, even to the trained kid he brought
with him, was such a palable failure
that the disgusted audience at once be-
gan to leave, and as to "Bismark," !"
"Chummy," and the half dozen kids he
got on the platform, some of the poor
little devils did their best to do some
thing to entertain the audience and
made nearly as bad a failure of it as
as the rather handsome Professor, him
self.
1t is some excuse for his failure that
John Barleycorn occupied some of the
back seats and embarrassed the gentle
man and disconnected the kids who
were up for subjects.
We are really sorry to say all this
about the show, for the professor" is

All criminologists agree that indirect
suggestion is one of the surest ways of
melting to crime; and an eminent
French writer has published volume
on the "Contagion of Murder,"in which
he traces cases of homicidal mania in
duced by pictures of assassination.
The regular reader of many modern
newspapers might imagine that the
world is much worse than it used to be.
This would be mistake. The differ
ence is not only that the newspapers
exaggerate, and sometimes invent de
tails of crime, but that the facilities for
collecting news are so much better
than formerly, that everything is re-
ported. There is no part of the news
papers of the day which can be more
profitably skipped than the detailed
narratives of crime; and newspapers
which make speciality of the evil there
is in the world should not be taken
into any home.

cATARRH OF THE STOMACH.
A Pleasant. Simple. but Safe and Eff
faofnaI (snrs. for.


fectual Cure for 1t.
Catarrh of the stomach has long been
considered the next thing TO incurable.
The usual symptoms are full or
bloating sensation after eating. accom-
panied sometimes with sour or watery
risinGs, formation of gases, causing
pressure on the heart and lungs, and
difficult breathing; headaches. tickle
appetite, nervousness and general
played out, languid feeling.
There is often a foul taste in the
mouth, coated tongue and if the inte-
rior of the stomach could be seen it
would show a Shiny. infiamed condi-
ton.
The cure for this common and obsti-
nate trouble is found in treatment
which causes the food to be readily,
thoroughly digested before it has time
to ferment and irritate the delicate 1nu-
cous surfaces of the stomach. To Sc
cure a prompt and healthy digestion
is the one necessary thing to do and
when normal digestion is secured the
catarrhal condition will have disap-
peared.
According to DR.. Harlandson, the
safest and best treatment is to use
after each meal a tablet composed of
Diastase, Aseptic Pepsin, little Nux.
Golden Seal and fruit acids. These
tablets can now be found at all drug
stores under the name of Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets, and not being a patent
medicine can be used with perfect
safety and assurance that healthy ap-

local condition, resulting from a neg

infiamed and the poisonous discharge
therefrom passing backward into the
