A BIG ADVANCE.
In Wall Paper After September First
Because a Trust Has Beeen
Organized.
Yours truly
FAIRNESS.

Local wall paper dealers have receiv-
ed word that every manufacturing es-
Establishment in the United States has
gone into the trust and that wall pa
per prices will be advanced 40 per cent
or more on and after the first day of
September. Heretofore all efforts to
get manufacturers in the combination
have failed because few important
houses would not accept the terms but
this year there is not a firm in the
country working single machine out
side the trust. Seven or eight years
ago with all but one or two firms inside
the trust prices were advanced about
25 per cent. There is talk of organ
Using retailers association for the
purpose of establishing a uniform price
and to do away with the cheap papers
which haue been such a factor in re-
cent years. People purchasing paper
after September may expect to pay a
large advance price,
Not with standing the stiff advance
to be made in wall paper A. w. Jones
has well selected stock which he
will close out at the lowest prices be-
fore the advance Sept 1st.
1t is to your advantage to buy now
for use this fall

FINE RENTED
Muck Won't Have To Pay That
$25.
The Reason Given For the Governors
Action.

The Governor has remitted the fine
OF James S. Muck, who was convicted
at the Augest term, 1897, of the
Summers county court of carrying
pistol and assessed $25.
In remitting the fine the Governor
says:
81 have very little respect for Il
man who makes practice of carrying
a pistol. But the petition in this
case states that Muck is good citi-
zen and was never before charged
with violation OF the laws; that he
Is very poor man, with large fami-
ly, and Is unable to pay the fine.
The judge and prosecuting attor-
ney who tried the case both ask me
to remit the fine; and the petition is
also signed by perhaps two hundred
people, many OF whom | know per-
sonally, urging me TO release him
from paying the fine, because, first,
he has always been regarded as law
abiding citizen, and, second, Ii he
were required to pay the fine it will
take the bread of subsistence out of
the mouth OF his helpless children
|, therefore deem 1t proper to remit
this fine.n

The Management Has Entered into Fa.
vorable Arrangements With the Bal
tim0re & Ohio.
The officials of the West Virginia
State Fair Association have never be-
fore been so fortunate in securing
such satisfactory railroad accomoda-
tions as visitors will enjoy during the
coming exposition. Every road en-
tering the city has made an excursion
rate of one fare for the round trip,
and two OF the companies, the Balti-
more & Ohio and the Pennsylvania
are going even shade better. On
fair excursion tickets they will affix
a coupon which shall entitle the bear
er to admission into the fair grounds.
In addition to these railway facilities,
the best that can be secured, leading
roads will run excursions with special
trains on several days during the fair.
Many other railway arrangements
have just been completed by which
people within radius of one hundred
and fifty miles will have unequaled
facilities for coming to Wheeling in
fair time. The Ohio River company
intends running special train one
day during exposition week.

FACULTY vs.. PRESIDENT.
'sFair Play" Believes the Register too
Sweeping in Its Criticism-All are
Not Conspiring to Discredit the Pres
ident.
To the Editor of the Register.

To the Editor of the Register.
SIR:-In recent editorial discuss
ing the State University and the at
titude of the Faculty toward the
President, you spoke of the Faculty
as a body being hostile to the Presi-
dent and seeking his overthrow. In
thus including the whole Faculty in
your criticism, I think you have
done an injustice-intentional, no
doubt-to many individuals in that
body. While every member Of the
Faculty has right to his own opin-
ion as to the soundness and wisdom
of the Presidents policy, / am quite
sure that large number of them
would not be engaged in any con
certed scheme to diseredit the Pres
ident, or accomplish his removal,
however they might think as to the
kind OF policy pursued by him To
this extent, it seems to me, your ed
itorial failed to discriminate, and
was unjust to the Faculty as a body
by including them all in an effort TO
GUST the President
Yours truly,
FAIRNESS.

INDEPENDENT PARTY PLATFORM.

We believe In the free coinage Of silver at a
ratio of l6 to /. We pledge ourselves to an
economical county government and believe the
best men should be elected to fill county ofices
regardless OF politics, and the people should be
given the privilege of selecting those officers at
the polls, and believe all parts OF the county
should be represented as nearly as possible.
We do not believe that one precinct should con-
troll the county; nor control the majority of the
best and most responsible Offices but should be
distributed throughout the county. We do not
believe In fusion for office only. We denounce
the ring rule" OF the old parties in Custer
county. We insist that the county Officers, es :
pecially the County Commissioners. give their
special attention to the collection of all school
monies, and apply the same as the law directs
and spare no means to collect all money due
the county. We denounce the present hand
ling OF the road system in Custer county, and
believe the roads should be kept in better con-
dition than they have been in the past two
years. We call special attention of the new
Commissioners to the condition of the county
roads, and ask that they carefully consider the
repair and construction Of county roads.
We pledge our candidates in county govern
ment to the strictest economy consistent with
the competent administration of public
affairs in the county, but we insist that this
economy shall be secured by uniform and equit-
able adjustment and not as has been done,
through the reduction Of the wages Of the day
laborer.

SILVER REPUBLICAN PLATFORM.

Platform OF the Silver Republican party Of
Custer county :
1. We endorse the platform OF the State
convention OF the Silver Republican party OF
Idaho.
III We believe in strict supervision OF all
county officers, and require that they be held To
strict accountn bility for their acts
III We believe In and uphold as being in
the best interests OF silver, the fusion OF the
silver Republicans and Democrats, through
their state conventions held at Boise City,
Idaho.
~. Owing to the wanton destruction of our
flsh and game by Indians, we pledge ourselves
to use oil honorable means to secure the pas
sage OF hsh and game law similar to the one
now In effective operation In the State OF Wyo-
ming.
" We believe In and uphold the rights of
labor, and the enactment OF such laws In its
behalf as are consistent with the acknov EDGED
rights and privileges OF persons.
VI We favor aud pledge ourselves TO en-
denvor to establish an effective and elective
arbitration law on the lines laid down in Sec. Z,
Article IL OF the State Constitution of Idaho.

We give the glad hand to the
editor Of the Independent Party
column, and recognize him as
another of the "Old Boys" We
have long known that he was
bitterly opposed to Challis Office
holders and second term, and
we fear that the mental strain
which he will have to undergo
in booming his ticket will under
mine his once magnificent con-
stitution.
Our goldbug bretheren have
hit it for once. We must reduce
the salaries Of the county officers
or we are lost. 1t is suggested
that the Coroner be experiment
ed with first.
We would respectfully call the
attention of the voters CT Custer
county to the inconsistency of
the action of the so-called indie
pendent party. In their platform
they claim that all parts of the
county should be represented.
They lido not believe) that one
precinct should control the coun-
ty; nor control the majority of
the best and most responsible
offices, but should be distributed
throughout the county. If they
were sincere they would conform
to the requirements of their
platform. Have they done so |?
Let us see. The following is a
list of their nominations and en-
dorsements together with the
precincts represented
Endorsement, Hooper, Pah-
samaroi.
Nomination, Marriott, Custer.
g Keyes, Challis.
" Burnett, Antelope
" Rowles, Challis.
" Finnell, Challis.
Endorsement, Hull, Challis.
" Calhoun, Challis.
" Keenan,, Challis.
Nomination, Tolman, Pahsamaori
" Leigh, Clayton.
9 Mollart, Custer.
" Ebberts, Challis.
Their nominations and endor-
sements represent seven offices
from Challis, and only five of the
ten precincts of the county.
While the Fusion ticket only
represents only six offices from
Challis, and it represents seven
precincts in the county. The
question is who has given the
county the fairest representation.
In their last weeks edition the
claim is set up that the Fusion
ticket is composed of the "same
Did boys" who have filled the Off
les for the last two years. How
about one of their candidates
hat wishes TO fill one of the most
important offices for eight years9

much of the success of my investigations
was owing to their never failing hospi-
tality and facilities kindly extended.
Daily journeys were made in different
directions over long trails winding
through the forest glades, the most of it
yet untouched by the axe of the de-
stroyer, though in this densely affor-
ested region deluged by copious rains,
and where perennial summer lasts the
end is far distant. Yet when / think Of
our thinly wooded Southern California
the echoes of the telling axe always
sound in my ears like a dirge of the
wood nymphs or a lament of mother
earth for the loss of her first born. In
these forests the puma, ounce, ocelot and
two or three species of deer roam un-
disturbed by the destroying instinct of
man. Much of the higher mountainous
country will remain afforested and thus
afford shelter for an interesting fauna
and fora of which but tithe has been
studied, while in the terraces below
much of the forest will be replaced, as is
now being done, by groves of coffee, rub
ber, cocoa and the other useful and
costly productions Of the tropics.

Desiring to fetch some orchids home for
the collection in east side park started
Off one glorious morning from the town
OF Coatzocoalcos in company with a
mozo carrying provisions for q days
outing, including natural history imple-
ments, an extra gun, with good dog to
hunt tepiscuintles, large game rodent,
ana sacks to carry the plants in. Our
route took us back to some forest land
not far from the railroad, low ridge
or mis- lying between us and the coast,
over which came the refreshing sea air
mixed with the aromatic scents of the
moist woodland. The sun was Just ris-
ing over the forest horizon in all the
spiendor of delightful tropical morn
ing. Passing near the side of swamp a
nne clump Of oncidiumaltissimum, a yell
low fowered orchid. was deserted nest
ling on the branch of tree some fifteen
feet above the ground, the trunk of the
tree being thickly covered with
epephytic ferns, mosses and lanes.
We scanned it carefully for any lurking
snake that might be secreted, none being
seen. l quickly prepared to climb up
ana get it. Drawing my hunting knife
and gripping it between my teeth l
