Charles +. Trevitt, who died in
Yellowstone, Wednesday, June p,
was at one time highly respected cit
izen, possessed of talent above the
average, held many positions Of trust
and honor during his life and figured
very prominently in the early days of
our locality. He was born in the
state of New York in 1894, coming to
this state when a young man, first
settling at Shullsburg. On March
-, 1850, the first issue of the patriot
and Flag edited by G. f. Trevitt x
Co., was submitted to the people of
Shullsburg and vicinity. 1t gave
evidence of marked ability, but there
was not room for two papers in that
city at that date and it ceased publ
cation after five mouths. From
Shullsburg he came to Blanchardville
and taught the first school of our viii
lare, which convened in the fall of
1858. The board was composed of a,
Blanchard and Henry Mill: the teach
er also acting as clerk. In the early
sixties he went to Richland Co., and
held the office of Clerk of the Circuit
Court and was also admitted to the
bar while there. He returned to our
city in about '69-1o, and practicrd law
and also established our first news
paper, named the Blanchnrdville
Times" He died with painters collie,
which sickness he had been subject to
for many years.

State Lose, All.

The commissioner Of the gen
eral land office has decided five
more white piue land cases in ia
vor of the settler. These deci-
sions cover all the law questions
involved in these contests. There
is no longer doubt about the
loss to the state of all the land
in controversy. The department
points out a course for the state

the residue of the land first claim
ed can be saved to the state, but
so far no action has been taken

umph for the young inventor over
conditions which were exceeding
ly unfavorable.
In the second experiment, sig
nails were transmitted clearly and
accurately from one room to an
other through walls and three
thick doors. The second test
sent the dots and dashes to the

Then Professor Green consent

The report is current in legal
circles that the code commission
act is to be attacked upon the
ground that lawmakers have no
legal right to provide fat offices
for themselves, and on technical
points of construction of statutory
and constitutional law. The
great popular objection to the
new law is the menace to public
policy involved in the principle of
legislation for the benefit of indi-
yidual lawmakers who promote
schemes for the emoluments of the
jobs they create. The code COM
mission was demanded by the
public, and there is crying need
for code revision. This demand
would excuse many shortcomings,
but the code commission, mani
testify incompetent, and reeking
with the odors of illegitimate Gre
alton, has no place in public fa-
vor. For the moral lesson that
would be taught by the nullifca-
ton of this measure, on the ground
that the act of the creation of the
commission was against public
policy, it is hoped the law will be
anulled.-Lewiston Teller.

We deplore the fact that the
Mormon leaders are lending
themselves to an effort to estab-
fish a polygamous aristocracy in
Utah and the surrounding states.
But we have faith that the young
and progressive element Of Nor
mons will combat this effort of the
church and that they will succeed
in defeating this attempt to restore
old conditions. The young Nor
mons have the question in their
own hands for solution. If they
lend themselves to furthering the
ch2rch's efforts, they will succeed
in ringing all the power of the
United States government into
their state to crush out polygamy,
will restore the old fight and lose
their own respect as well as that
of the nation. But if they COM
bat and defeat this effort they
will do service to Utah and Idaho
and Wyoming and the inter-
mountain states that will be of
lasting and permanent benefit.
God grant that they may see the
right course, and may he give
them the strength and courage to
pursue ii, even as against the
wishes of their powerful church
hierarchy.-Boise Sentinel.

Last Sad Tribute to the Remains Of Colonel
McConvilIe at Lewiston.

dttenQeQ the IuHGIdl llGl 9 AOudJ
of Major McConville, the hero
who died leading the Second bat
TALON of Idaho volunteers in the
famous charge at Santa Ana on
February 5th.
Last evening the body Of the
dead soldier was moved to the
county court house where de-
tail from the university cadets
stood guard during the night. At
an early hour the people began 10
assemble and at 10 o'clock this
morning, when the ceremonies
were commenced, the court house
grounds and streets adjacent for
many blocks were crowded with
a dense throng Of people. The
bier on which rested the body of
the deceased was placed on a
raised platform back Of which
was a great bank Of floral and
patriotic decoration.
The Grafton on the life and
character of the dead hero by
Hon. James w. Reid, followed
the funeral services. At periods
during the eloquent discourse the
expressions of sympathetic emo
ton in the dense crowd Of hearers
was most pronounced.
The funeral procession to the
grave was perhaps the most inn
posing ever formed in the state.
Distinguished citizens from every
section of the state were present
and the funeral line extended from
the court house to Snake River
avenue, being over one mile in
length. On either SIDE of the
street the column passed through
the dense throng OF the people.
Every business house bore EN-
blems of mourning and the entire
city paid humble honor to the
passage of the hero to his last
resting place, The column was
led by the cadet band from the
state university, followed by a
company composed Of ex-mem-
bers of the Idaho and Washing
ton volunteers, the former having
served under the dead officer.
Two companies of university ca
diets, who arrived last evening
from Moscow, were in line, COM
pleting the military escort which
preceded the hearse. A delega-
ton of Knights Templars sur
rounded the funeral bier, and di-
rectly following, marched a little
lad, IS years of age clad in
the brown campaign suit
used in the Philippines. He had
accompanied an Idaho company
10 Manila and was relieved and
sent back to his parents through
the efforts and kindness of the
deceased.
The carriage bearing the wild
ow and children was followed by
the various fraternal societies, the
as emblage being perhaps the
largest of fraternaI men that ever
gathered in the state.
AT the cemetery the services
were intensely impressive, and,
when the remains were silently
lowered into the grave, many
sobs were heard among the thous-
ands of bowed heads, expressing
the high esteem in which the gall
liant, liberal kind hearted man
was held by all.
Following a brief prayer by
Rev. w. ]. McConkey, the burial
ceremonies of the Blue Lodge of
Masons were held. Three vol
leys were then fired, the last bu-
gle call sounded, II more volleys,
and the parting respects to the
dead, as citizen aud soldier, had

Hitchcock DiSapproves Recom- mendation of Commits
 sioner Herman.

Washington, July 22.-Secretary of the Interior Hitchcock has disapproved a rec ommendation of the commissioner of the general land office for the sale of all the public lands in Alabama by public auction. These unoccupied and unreserved lands in the state aggregate 522,573 acres, over the' proposed disposition of which there has been considerable agitation. Commissioner Herman based his action in the matter on recent developments in connection with the donation of 50,00O acres of public lands in the state to the Industrial School for Girls in Alabama at Montevallo and Tuskegee Normal school, both of which shortly after the law authorizing the donation became operative were rumored to have entered into contracts with corporations to acquire title to the lands for a nominal considera- tion Following an investigation of the matter the immediate sale of all the pub lie lands was recommended General Wheel CT, however, has recommended that the public sale of all the lands be postponed until congress can have an opportunity to legislate authority for the state to make se lections of lands, and that the residue be publicly auctioned off Secretary Hitchcock concurs in this view, and congress must take the next step.
