John went straight to his aunt's, de-

interview with Barrie and its ending.
But Cupid ruled otherwise. He found
Marion Barrie in the house, and, real
izing how hopeless his love must be
now, was hardly civil to her. Even
his aunt noticed it, and said:
why, John, Marion has been my

this happened, and you act as if you

The torpedo IN war.


One Of the conspicuous elements Of
the torpedo's value is the fear which
its use excites. The fact that its Local
ton is secret and its attack well-nigh
irresistible, gives it a power of intim-
idation out Of all proportion to it's ac-
tual potency, and makes fleets UNI

NEW EAST SCHEDULE TO
THE EAST.
Less than 3 days to Chicago.

ASCoo bAihA y "
The new train schedule OF tile Rio
Grande Western Railway and connec-
tons went into effect February 18th and
has proved great success. By this new
time card, passengers from Butte, Boise,
Haley, Pocatello and all points on the
Oregon Short Line are landed in Chicago
in less than three DAYS after departure
Close connection is made at Ogden be-
tween the trains of the Oregon Short
Line and Rio Grande Western, leaving
that point at s 100 a. m, arriving Denver
at 8 20 a. IN the following day, and Chi
cago at 2 rs p. m. the third day. Con-
nections made in Chicago with the
limited trains for New York. This new
service is in addition to the fast night
train of the Rio Grande Western which
leaves Ogden at 6: 35 p. m, arrives Den
yer the next evening, and Chicago at 500
u. m. the third day, thus making close
connections in Chicago with the fast
trains for Boston and New
York.
Both of these trains are splendidly

THE POLITICAL OUTLOOK
IN IDAHO.


the democrats and populists fused
while the republicans were spill
squarely in the middle. We have
an approximate idea OF the repub
lican vote cast the republicans
and the silver republicans each
casting about 1000 votes. By rea-
son OF the fusion, while we can
easily tell the aggregate vote, it is
impossible to tell how many votes
were cast by the democrats or how
many were polled by the populists.
As Bryan received the votes of all
parties except the republicans, we
can easily tell the aggregate, but
we can not tell what number each
party cast. There were in all about
10000 votes cast in the state. Now
the question that confronts us isl
what is the political strength of
each OF these four parties.
Assuming that each party sub
stantially retains its strength as
indicated at the last election, viii
each party put state and county
ticket in the field or will two OF
these parties unite against the
other two, or Will three of these
parties unite against one? It'll
seems that each of the respective
parties has called, or will soon call
n conference Of the leaders to find
out where we are at"
If our exchanges voice the senti-
ments OF their communities there
appears to be decided opposition to
any further fusion between the
democrats and populists. The
present disgracelul administration
is the only argumenturged by both
parties to the compact. They are
both heartily sick of it and each
party is anxious Tor a divorce.
What kind of a combination then
can be made? The indications
now are that the republicans and
democrats will maintain their party
and support their
national platforms. We are conf
dent the republicans viii do this
and the democrats will also if their
leaders do not sell them out in a
rade. We think therefore that we
may look for the two old parties to
meet again in battle array.
But what is to become Of the

LETTER FROM PAGE.
~o.rtspondence Alexandria Gazette

LURAY, Va, June 22.-The death Of
Andrew Broaddus, many years clerk Of
our County and Circuit Courts, coming
as it did suddenly, was q shock to our
entire community. He was of class
of men seldom seen, and taken alto
gether perhaps one of the most highly
qripped mentally and by education.
He was intensely high toned and ner-
vous, end oftentimes would do and fin
ish whilst others were studying the
WAYS and means. As citizen he was
most usefu', honest and charitable and
his good deeds will long remain to tell
of MIN. He had been 50 long in active
business pursuits tina. he had gained II
large fund of information, and for this
reason his counsel was invoked by his
many friends and acquaintances, and
generally followed. Quick, alert and
,iways ready to act, the amount Of de-
t4lls ne could accomplish and work do,
was often wonder to those who knew
h,m. He held different places Of trust
aud honor and it was his highest aim to
10 hi duty whereverit was confronted.
Mr.. Broaddus was member of fami-
" long known, honored and respecie
throughout this Safe. He was co edl-
tor Of the Psge Courier, was connected
with the Page Valley Bank, of this
place, and also with other public mat
ters. His place in our courts as clerk
has been filled by the appointment OF
Floyd w. Weaver, of the law firm OF
Weaver & Leedy, of this place, by Judge
Booton. Mr.. Weaver is young man
and has been in Lursy not quite three
years, having removed from Basic here.
There were several applicants for the
pace, as it is the best public office in
the county.
