TWO YEARS.

Two years ago the Republicans
polled about 5000 votes in this
state and the combined opposition
polled some $4,000. This year
the straight Republicans polied
about 1900. That is not bad
in the face of Fred Dubois dec
laration last spring that there was
no room in Idaho for the Repub-
lican party. Two years ago the
Republicans had but one lone
member in the legislature, Rep
resentative Fem. This year they
have nine state senators and
twelve or fourteen members of
the house. That is rather a
healthy growth in two years.
Two years ago the Republicans
did not come within gunshot of
anything in Canyon county. This
year they got county attorney,
state senator, county commissioner
and sheriff. That is very good
progress in a county which from
time immemorial was recognized
as a section wherein reposed the
Democratic stronghold. All
around the Republicans have
nothing to lament over. They
made good fight, the campaign
was well managed in the state and
the results are eminently satisfac-
tory. The one mistake that was
made was that the state conven-
ton was not held early enough.
Hereafter if Republicans are wise
they will hold their state conven-
tioninJune. That will give the state
committee time to make all ar
rangements for the campaign.
Every detail can be arranged and
when the campaign opens there
will be no furry and buster,
hurrying and scurrying over the

THE people of Canyon county
may well filicitate themselves on
the structural change made in the
board of county commissioners.
They can rest assured that there
will be no more such exhibitions
of imbecility as were displayed by
the expiring board. Messrs Foote
and Shaw, both men of wide ex-
perience and business capacity
would alone be sufficient guaran-
tee that the affairs of the county
will be well administered, but
they will be ably assisted by Mr..
Ryder whose experience and
ability are equally good. Canyon
county has occasion to rejoice.

BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION

The Record does not seem to
be well pleased with the present
city administration, and in its last
issue takes occasion to refer to it
sarcastically. We grieve to see
the Record in this mood, especial
ly as the affairs of the town seem
to be very well administered and
there is no serious cause for COM
plant. Every member of the
council and the mayor as well
certainly have the best interests
of the community at heart and
are doing all in their power to
promote the general welfare.
Nothing has TRANSFERRED to arouse
a pettish feeling in the breast of
any one, and there is no excuse
for carping over snow shovels in
muddy weather. If the Record
did not want a business mems adj
ministration, it should have indi-
Gated its aversion prior to the last
municipal election. Possibly the
thing that pains the Record is
that the business mems admins
tration is just what its name i'm
plies-it does business on bust
ness principles.

those interested nations join then

they are, what of them?

INCENsED EUROPE.

Salt Lake Tribune: So Europe
is offended, is she, that the United
States has bought some town lots
out in the Pacific and paid for the
improvements that the old squat
tiers had made. She does not like
the idea of the United States
moving in on street which she
had determined to entirely apr O.
pirate. She does not pretend
that she had any title to the prop
erty. She does not pretend that
she has shown any special interest
in the welfare of the old occu-
pants; what seems to disturb her
most is that she was not invited
to the auction. But is she in
good position to find fault? Did
France show any special gener-
osity when she took in Tonquin
and a mighty slice of Siam?
What was her claim on either
country, and how much did she
pay when she made the invest
ment? Or if it is Germany that is
offended, let her try, to make a
a little calculation in proportion.
If two German missionaries are
worth a whole province of China,
how much wild land does it re-
quire to- pay for the lives of 266
American sailors and a first-class
battleship destroyed when in the
harbor of a supposed friendly
power? Is it Russia that is dis
gruntIed? Well, how about her
claim on ManChuria and her great
military and naval station at Port
Arthur? How did Germany set
tie with France in the early sew
enties? How did Russia settle
with Turkey a little later? What
terms would either of them have
dictated to Spain had it been in
the place of the United States?
We trench on none of their pos
sessions. Long stretches of Gods
ocean separate those islands from
any land that they own; what is
their special grievance? 1t is
said the Vatican does not approve
of the transfer. If this is true,
then it is only through a misap-
prehension of the facts. The
United States does not propose to
shake the title of any church, or
interfere with its teachings.
OF all men the heads of mother
church should most rejoice at the
change, for now something more
than the forms of religion will be
served. Surely the state of the
people does not establish that re-
ligion has worked many triumphs
on the islands thus far. After 400
years of trial, seven tenths of the
people are still barbarians. Surely
it is time for a change.
A year ago now, when condi-
tons in Cuba were becoming in
tolerable, it ought to have been
clear to southwestern Europe that

Tho Queer Manner In Which They If

Tho Queer Manner In Which They tfla
 Up Religion and Murder.
 The month of Ramadan, in which the first part of she Koran is said to have been revealed, is observed as fast by all MohanJnedans The fast extends oyer the whole month of raging heat and involves extraordinary self denial and self control To food or drink of any kind mny he taken from daybreak until the appearance of the stars at nightfall.
 The rigor with which | Mohammedan observes this fast and the great gulf be- tween it's observance and obedience to the moral code are both illustrated by a story told i'll the life of one of the he- roes of India, Major John Nicholson.
 While Nicholson i'll 1854 was deputy commissioner i'll Bannu, native killed his brother and was arrested. He was brought before Nicholson on very hot evening, looking parched and exhausted, for he had walked many miles, and it was the month of Ranadan.
 Why" exclaimed Nicholson, lis if possible that you have walked in fast ing on day like this?"
 Thank God" answered the Ban nuchi, II am good faster. ,
 Why did you kill your brother?"
 II saw fowl killed last night, and the sight of the blood put the devil in- to me. !"
 He had chopped up his brother, stood long chase and been marched in here, but he was keeping tho fast, y wrote the commissioner to friend that he might know what sort of blood thirsty and bigoted people he, Nichol- son, had to govern.
 One day wretched little child was brought before the commissioner. He had been ordered by his relatives of the Waziri tribe to poison food.
 Don't you lnnow it is wrong to kill people?" asked Nicholson.
 ''I know it is wrong to kill with 6 knife or sword, answered the child
 "Whyf"
 Because the blood leaves marks 1" answered the trained poisonsr.
 A Pathan chief, who fell by Nichol- son s side in skirmish, left little son, npon whom the English officer lavished care and attention. One day the 7-year- old boy asked his protector to grant him special favor.
 "Tell mo first what you want. !"
 "Only your permission, sahib, to go and kill my cousins, the children of your and my deadly enemy, my uncle Faltri Khan.
 To kill your cousins?" exclaimed the Englishman, mortified at tho answer.
 "Yes, sahih. to kill all the boys while they are young It is quite easy now {"
 "Yon little monster Would you murder your own cousins?'
 Yes, sahib, for if don't they will certainly murder mo. "
 The little boy wished to follow Pa than usage and thought it very hard that his guardian should prevent his taking SC simple precaution.

THOSE HIGH HATS.
The Cause of Much Dlscomlieure and Kicking By the Theater
 Goers.

Several theater goers have made kicks to the Graphic about the high hats worn at our theater. Many of the ladies now attend the theater without hats, and the others are re- 1uested to follow their illustrious example. No one can really appre- clate how discomforting a high hat is until one has sat behind one of the millinery pyramids at perform ance. When all the ladies fully ap- preciate this fact, we are confident the high hat will be discarded. La dies, for the sake of your neighbours comfort at the opera house, leave your hats at home!

ODD FELLOWS.

Observe Eecrecy In Lodgeroom Trans&o-
 tions-Frisndly Grips.
 Serious complaint has been made to tho grand master concerning the publicity given to lodge business that should hays been sacredly held as secrets, says The Odd Fellows Herald. The fraflsactions of the Iodgeroom should never be known by any outsider. The exp0aure of the work of the ritual or communicating the un- written work could not do as much harm or be more serious violation of the lodge obligations than to make public the trans- actions of the lodgeroom and especially in all matters of personal nature.
 Come, brothers, bs up and doing. You can secure a new meIaber for tho order.
 Joseph Kidder, the venerable grand sec retary of the grand lodge of New Hamp- shire, was initiated into the order in 1s45.

JOHN CARR DEAD. DIED SUNDAY NIGHT AT VANDERBILT UNlVER-
 SlTY.
His Father at His Bedside-The Remains to be Brought Here
 for Interment.

The sad news of the death of Rev. John M. Carr, at Vanderbilt Univer- sity, Nashville, Tenn, Sunday eve ming, reached our city thls morning, and cast a gloom of sorrow over the entire community.
 The deceased was taken H with typhoid fever a few weeks after ar irving at Vanderbilt. where he was preparing himself for the ministry. His condition became worse and his father, Rev. ]. F. Carr, was called to his bedside, where he was at the time of the death. Every possible effort was made to save the young mans life, only to be conquered by the grim reaper. His fond mother has been i'll for the past several weeks and when the news was made known to her the ordeal was a very severe and trying one. /
 The deceased was 26 years of age. He was born at Monticello, Drew county and at the age of F years came to this city. He lived here for several years, after which he went to Camden and embarked in the mercantile business. After re- maining in that business for about two years he disposed of same, and entered Hendrix College at Conway to prepare for the ministry. He then took business course in a commercial college at Poughkeepsie, N. Y. He was a most promising young man, which was shown when he occupied the Man Street Metho- dist pulpit during the absence of the pastor few months ago, and did so in most creditable manner.
 He was finishing his studies at the Vanderbilt University when he was called away.
 A loving father aud fond mother, of this city, together with a brother, W. L. Carr, prominent druggist of Port Arthur, Texas, are left to mourn his untimely demlse.
 The remains will arriYein the city on the 3 a. m train tomorrow.
 The time of the funeral has not as yet been fixed.
 To the grief stricken relatives the sympathy of the community is extended.

 Fruits are more appetizing and, per- haps, more easily digested if taken in the early part of the whether or not before the breakfast must be de termined by the eater.
 Grapes, oranges and shaddocks may be served before the cereal. Baked ap- pies, peaches, baked bananas, figs, dates, prunes or stewed fruits should be served at the close of the breakfast.
 Raisins, sultanas, dried figs and prunes should be soaked thoroughly, so that they may take up the same amount of water with which they have parted in the process of drying, and should then be heated just enough to soften the skins.
 The subacid fruits, such as apples, figs, dates, peaches, persimmons. pears, prunes and apricots, are, perhaps, the best of the winter fruits and may be used to good advantage with animal foods.
 Acid fruits must at all times be used most sparingly, especially by persons inclined to rheumatic troubles. The continued use of an orange or shaddoek before breakfast will diminish the pow. or of stomach digestion, for which req son they should be served with cereals or such foods as require only intestinal digestion.
 The papaw and pineapple belong to class alone. They contain vegetable pepsin which assists in the digestion of the hitrogenous principles. These fruits, then, may be served with meats and will aid in their digestion. When served with bread and butter, they do not form so good a diet. They are more digestible raw than cooked as the heat destroys the activity of the ferments.
 Apples as a rule are more easily di- gested cooked than raw, although raw apples are more palatable.
 The fashion of adding sugar to fruits should be avoided, as they have already been endowed with a sufficient amount of sugar, and as all the starch and cere- als are converted into sugar any further amount would be stored in the system, to it's detriment. If our bilious friends would throw aside their liver pills and with them sugar, they might be free from much discomfort. Mrs. $. T. Rorer in Ladies' Home Journal
