The Rclipse Of 1000.

The eclipse committee, with Mr..
Simon Newcomb as chairman, is now
gathering information regarding the
intended observation of the totaFeclipse
of the sun which will occur in 1900,
along the line reaching northeast from
New Orleans to Norfolk, and thence
across the Atlantic to Spain and Al
geria. The totality is but brief in dura-
ton; still it is expected that many OBJ
servers will take part, although fewer
observations can be made than if a
longer duration were available. OBJ
servers will probably prefer the stations
east of the Alleghenies, as to the west
of those mountains the duration will
range from one minute 80 second near
the mountains, to one minute 10 sec
onds, near New Orleans, where the sun
will be much nearer the horizon. The
circular of the committee invites the
cooperation of astronomers generally
as to the measures to be taken.-The

JUDGE HEYBURN's LECTURE.
The Last Of the College Course Pronounced Ex.
eea'nt-A Discussion Of Political Reforms
in The Higher and Broader Senso

IN The Higher and Broader Sense.
Last wednesday evening, according
y announcement, Judge N. 81 Hey.
ouFn delivered the closing lecture Of
'he College course provided by Rev
and Mrs !, II, Barton. The subject
was politiealreforms. Judge Hepburn
commenced by defining politics and
describing true politicians. He then
touched on the great epochal world
reforms from Moses to the peace con
congress nov insessIon. Showing that
eaclff an It's nature was political and the
examination of long train of events
ali tending in the same general direc.
non. II WAS worthy of Judge Hepburn
that be did not touch upon the thous-
aHds Of little isms, yagaries and dreams
winch py their deyotees are denomina,-
cd p,li'ical reforms. He treated his
sahJsct IN the highest and broadest
seEse, and the lesson he sought to in
culeate was that great political ref
oFmation is not the result of a sudden
Inspiration bat The eliminating event
IN long series of progressive move
mems born Of community OF loneincs
lor better and freer life. If the stu.
dents 10 whom tie speaker addressed
himself will seriously reflect on the
ideas he SO ably and clearly presented
they will lave acquired an insight into
the nature and evolution CT reforms
that may in future save them many
futile excursions into the realms of de-
luslye political promise. We believe
we can truly say that while Mr.. Hey
burn, 10 addressing the students of the
College of Idaho, did not have as large
an audience as other and similar insti
tntions might have afforded him, be
could scarcely have enjoyed a more ar
prcciatlve one. Judging from the
comments Of many of the students.
they were deeply impressed, alike by
the solid sense, clearness and force If
thelecture and the earRestness, iDteg-
rity and stability of the man. The
students feel that they have been hor-
cred and instructed by Mr.. Hepburn
and he is re2iprocally honored in hav-
ing won their gratitude and esteem.
his e0afse OF lectures has been highly
interesting and beneficial and great
credit is due ReY and Mrs. Barton for
having provided IT, 1t is hoped the
good work will be continued in the
next college year.

Deputy Question.

Paris, Ida, May 3l.-The Board Of
County Commissioners, after wrestling
with the deputy question ever since
the new county salary law went into
effect last April, agreed last night at
their special session to give Sheriff
Robson a deputy but took no action
on the matter of a deputy for County
Auditor James =. Hart. The Sherilf's
deputy will be Robert l.. Robson of
Montpelier The subject has agitated
the comm unity considerably, as the
new law was to reduce expenses and
the spirit of it will be destroyed in the
granting of deputies.

Trusts Threatened.

The various Industrial combinations
which are continually being f,rmed
will have to be on the lookout if they
are to keep track of all the new manu-
factories which are being built in the
South as a result of the tremendous in
dustrial prosperitywhich has swept over
the entire country. A "trust which
complacently reflects upon the pleasing
fact to day, that it has controlling
interest in any particular industry will
be likely to wake up tomorrow TO find
itself hopelessly in the minority be-
cause of the many new and independ
cut industries which have sprung up
under the encouraging influence of our
present industrial policy. Men of
money are evidently taking more stock
in Henry Watterson's advice to "build
new mills" than they take in his fall
lacious arguments in favor of the policy
of Free Trade, which would soon make
new mills as we'll as old ones just so
much waste property.-Ex.

some time there was a slack il the line,
and the boys pulled it in, and when the
end was hauled on the bank of the river
a long, round. dark-looking object was
hooked through the upper jaw. and upon
examination it was concluded by both the
young fishermen that they had caught a
snake. They proceeded to kill the sup
posed snake by throwing stones at it, and
when it was concluded that the snake
was too lively to remain in one place long
enough to get hit, the boy who owned
the fishing line concluded TO get a stick
and pub the snake up to the end and carry
1t home. He started toward Main street
and coming to a meat market, called the
proprietor to come and see his snake. The
man Immediately discovered that the boy
did not know what he had caught, and Of
fered TO buy it. which was good news to
the youngsJer. The snake was sold and
placed in a tub of water. and in less than
twenty-four hours found its way into
pan Of hot fat, where 1t was afterward
served up as one of the most delicious
delicacies known to an epicurean. 1t was
a big, fat. juicy eel.

On last Monday night the class day ex-
ercises Of the Wichita High school at the
Auditorium were enlivened by the intro
duction of very pretty drill by a corps
of girls from the graduating class. Tween
ty-five members of the graduating class
were in uniform and went through the
difficult manouvers of the several mill
tary tactics under the discipline Of Mr..
Charles w. Biting. For three weeks the
young ladies had been in training and
their display was in all parts a credit
both TO themselves and TO their patient
and able commandant. Miss Furley as
captain showed great dignity and all the
corps were enthusiastic in their efforts to
make the affair complete success. The
different figures displayed were, a star,
maltese cross, triangle, square, and other
crosses. The finale was the presenting

ARE LOOMING ZIP

The many new brick and store buildings
now being erected throughout the city are
looming up above the first stories. Some
are being rooted and others nearing COM
pletion. The many new residences going
up in all sections of the city are being
built large and spacious, and are very at
tractive in architectural design. Church
edifices are also keeping in line with other
improvements. Wichita is going ahead
rapidly and will soon be double the popu-
lation of two years ago.

There is a scarcity of certain kinds OF

not so low in price as they were a year
or two ago. Chief Walden of the fire de-
partment has been looking over the mar

in the department and has not yet been
able to find the kind needed. There are
many others looking for family drivers,
young. sound and city broke, and but few
are offered. except in a few instances.
When the price has been named, most
lockers take another look. as horses have

Come gentle muse and softly tune thy Tyre,
And I'LL this heart with true poetic fire,
And hll my soul with visions good and true
OF Challis village now before my view
And let me show TO people far and near
The beauties of this lovely village here
Yea, show me all its merits Ger again,
That may sing them Justly with my pen.
For Challis stands beneath fair Heavens blue,
village fair, with citizens 50 true.
VINO ready stand TO tell TO all the earth
In highest praise, Challis' intrinsic worth.
A peaceful spot, the gift of natures hand.
What wonder then that people proudly stand
And point with pride TO this, their dwelling
place,
AS natures best, the fairest gift of grace.
Fields of bright green beneath the summers
sun
Produce the grain and meat for everyone;
While silvery rivers and streams In any num-
Der lay.
To furnish fish to all who come this way.
Fair Salmon, the anglers pride and Joy,
Full many heart with pleasure doth employ.
No fairer spot has nature ever given
To build home and dwell near Heaven;
For here both quiet and order do prevail.
Friends ne'er forsake you, or vile foes assail.
While our little church whose beIfry to Heaven
ascends
And points the sinner to the latter end;
Its merry bell floats music on the air,
And calls the people TO the house OF prayer.
Here, the finest school in Custer county may be
found,
In which the tree of knowledge doth abound,
While merry children, robed in garments fair,
Attend the school, with hearts so free from
care.
From east and west and from north and south
The village name is heard in every mouth;
And people come from very far and near
To sell their produce and do their trading here
So, il you wish place to call home,
To settle down and never longer roam,
To dwell in village, city or town,
lust pause in Challis, friend and settle down.
