The sheep belonging to Frank Boyd
and Frank Let's of Mountain Home, are
being detained here by our officers, at
the instigation of Attorney Howie of
Mountain Home and at present are
under the charge of George HALEY who
has been appointed special deputy. It
seems that eastern parties hold mort
gage on the band for $29. 800 and that
they will probably be sold at sheriffs
sale to satisfy the claim. 1t is also stated
that Boyd and Let's also agreed to sell
1900 yearlings, to Wyoming Co. and
accepted 5000 in part payment. on the
sale. Boyd has disappeared and it has
now developed that the parties only had
1900 head of sheep. at the time it agreed
to make the sale to the Wyoming Co. of
which seven Thousand were yearlings,
and these were sold and delivered by
them to Swift and Company of Chicago.

OBITUARY.

Monday afternoon the community was
shocked by learning of the sudden death
of Miss Emma Perrine, sister of our
townsmen, Bert, silas and William Per-
rlne.
The deceased came to Idaho last Fall,
from Chicago. hoping to regain her
health, which had begun to decline, and
for time there seemed to be quite en-
couraging prospects Of her restora, ion |;
but last winter she had an attack of La
Grippe, which left her very much pros
trated, and from that time her friends
have had little hope of her recovery, but
none expected the end was 30 near.
She had spent the winter at Blue
Lakes, with her brother Bert and his
family, from which place she came to
Shoshone last Saturday and was taken
to the home of her brother Sllas.
The immediate cause of her death was
pulmonary hemorrhage. Only few
moments elapsed from the time the
hemor-hage began until life was extinct,
The deceased was born in 1871 at Del
eware, Ind. She had been a member of
the Baptist church from early childhood
and at the time of her death, was a
member of Calvary Baptist church of
Chicago.
Her daily life was far above reproach.
and all who had the privilege of a per-
sonal acquaintance with her. have only
kind words to say of her. 1t seems to US
a pity that the world cannot retain such
lives longer, but our vision is too narrow
for US to prescribe methods or propose
limitations to the work of an Inscrutable
Providence, ''He doeth all things WE'LL"
The body was embalmed and taken
to her former home in Indiana for in
terment, William Perrine accompanying
it.
A short religious service was held at
the depot, an address and prayer being
delivered by the writer. w. J. B.

THERE Is A GODIN ISRAEL

The supreme court has decided that
the county salary law OF the last session
is valid. excepting that portion which
provides that commissioners may fix
their own salaries. There is nothing in
the constitution, the opinion says. which
sanctions the principle of an officer fix
ing his own salary and common honesty
and public morals demand that such a
policy shall not be adopted. Commls-
sioDers, until there is further egislation
on the subject, shall draw their pay
under the old law which gave them Sc a
day. not to exceed $500 year, and ex-
penses. They cannot charge mileage
however. The court holds that orders
of county commissioners fixing salaries
can be appealed as in case of other orders
made by such boards.

THE RACE PROBLEM IN THE SOUTH.
As Viewed by an Intelligent North Carolina
Observer.

TO the Editor (Springfeld Republican,
On reading your editorial comments on

thoughtful men at the South. | know of
none who thought otherwise. This idea
was not founded on race antipathieS or
race prejudices. but on the estimate
placed on the negro as an uncvilzed
man. 1t was apprehended that worth
less and savage negroes would lnaugu-
rate lawlessnesS. and disorder and in
ouietude would prevail-nor because OF
race differences. but because of the nat
ural characteristics of the negroes.
TO some extent these apprehensions
have been realized. But it has been a
great blessing that they have not been
realized except i'll Il moderate degree.
The South has occasion to rejoice that
the negro has behaved himself in free
dom much better than Southern men
thought it possible. And here | may
also say that Southern men award the
negroes high credit for their faithful
conduct during the war.
From my standpoint. and l am quite
sure my views are shared by a large
number of persons in North Carolina, in
stead of the negroes being condemned
for their lawlessneSs. they are to be
commended because they are less law
less than it was thought they would
be.
Comment is made on the relative num-
ber OF criminals-negrOeS It's compared
with the whites-at the South. Well
what of it? We have, comparatively
speaking. no criminal class of whites at
the South. Our whites are church-going,
law-abiding people. Even Tourgee, III

| IhibltionS. the Southern whites generally
follow the law. And doubtless it is be-
cause the negroes are regarded as an
| inferior race the whites have a pride i'll
moving on a higher plane. The presence
| of the negro has always tended TO the
elevation of the whites and has made
| the poorer class of whites much superior
| in tone and character to What they
would have been had there been no ne
groes beneath them.
But compare the negroes in North
Carolina as criminals with the poorer
classes of your own whites. | challenge
| YOU to institute the commission. | ven
ture you have a greater precentage of
criminals in Massachusetts than You can
| find among the negroes in North Caro-
| lima,
There is. l think. n disposition TO mag
lnify the immortality of the negroes. 1t
may be as bad in Washington as repre-
Sented, but while the percentage of illegi-
| innate births among the negroes there Is
| %, in Paris among all classes it is 70.
| And although it may have been bad at
| the South in the past. think there has
been a great Improvement i'm the last
| Is years--a very decided and notable
Improvement.
Indeed. when we consider how the ne
grOes have amaSsed property; how they
| have conducted themselves so that our
fears of their lawlessness have not been
realized: how they have improved in edu-
cation, and what great advances they
| have made all along the line. we have
much reason to be thankrui and to be
greatly encouraged for the future of
| the race. Let me commend your own
lsuggestion.-that the negro can be bene-
| fitted more through the friendly interest
| of the Southern whites than by the
| friendly interest of outsiders acting in
| ldependently. That the negroes are ar
rayed politically against the dominant
| element of Southern whites Is a fact
that now cuts but little figure. The
whites will not tolerate than they shall
ever be in the ascendency. That being
understood and accepted, and the poli-
| ties of the negro being known by his
skin, that element enters but little into
the problem of his race. If it is sought
to secure his contentment, his prosper
| ity his education and elevation as a
man and Il citizen, the object is to be
attained through the cooperation of his
white neighbours. The negroes under
stand this very well, and they are wise,
and they cultivate their white neighbors
with considerable address. They seek
to make friends with the mammon
of unrighteousness. Nearly every ONE
has his particular friends among the
whites.
In closing | venture to say that des-
| pite the poverty of the negroes as a
tefass. tlfese-in North Carolina will COM
Ipare favorably with the lower class in
most countries in many essential re-
spects They never want for work They
make an easy living. they have few
needs. They have congenial assOcia
tions. They are generally cOntented, and
are not rendered unhappy by nursing
their grievances, whether fancied or

ANTITRUST NOTES.
(Southern Tobacco Journal.) }

tSouthern Tobacco JOurnal.)
The antitrust folks are coming from
talk down to business. A good deal has
been done of late They are lining up
for the fight.
What Arkansas and Missouri have
done has been told already in this paper.
They have antitrust laws and are en-
forcing them.
The Texas legislature has passed N
antitrust law similar to that of Arkan-
sas burt more drastic.
The Michigan Senate has passed a bill
prohibiting the organization In that State
of any trust or combination designed TO
prevent competition or control prices.
The bill will pass the house and Governor
Pingree will certainly sign it.
The antitrust movement has reached
New Orleans The Wholesale Grocers'
Association, composed of all the leading
wholesale grocers of New Orleans, is de-
termined to lead the fight, and has called
upon commercial exchanges and mer-
chants to unite with them In driving
trusts out of Louisiana.
The Civic Federation. an organization
of Chicago, in its plan for a national
conference on trusts and combinations,
proposes to invite the Governor. Attor-
General and labor commissioner of
each State. Each Governor will be ask
ed to appoint the representatives of his
State. All the large commercial asso-
Citations will be invited to send delegates.
Capt. ii. Il. Skaddcn, travelling man,
who will be a candidate for the Ohio
legislature, says trusts have displaced
72,000 travelling men in five months. The
latter will exercise their influence which
is strong, he says, to have the trusts
condemned in the platforms of all par
ties.
