All the Sportsmen Kept in a Close Bunch
in the Last Contest.

All the Sportsmen Kept in a Close Bunch
in the Last Contest.
Special Dispatch to the Standard.
Wallace, Idaho, Jan. 31.-The Wal
lace Gun club shoot yesterday was an
interesting contest, the shooters keeping
in closer bunch than ever before, there
being only a range of five between the
highest and lowest of ten shooters.
Flohr won in the medal contest, Whit
law, King and Holohan coming in for
credit each on the hard luck" prize.
The following is the score: Gaut, 1s;
Whitlaw, %; Flohr 90; King, %;
Steinke 20: Holohan, 23; Greenough, 10.
Gibbs, Is; Scott, 20; Snyder. %. In the
shoot off Flohr won. Holohan and
Gibbs won the team shoot, and Steinke
took the field shoot with clean score.
The prisoners in the county jail We're
brought over from Murray yesterday
in readiness for the grand jury which
| meets here to-day.
Only routine business and work by
the grand jury will be done during this
week in the district court which con-
yened here to-day, as the trial jury will
not be in attendance until next Mon
day. The criminal calendar is not IA
long one, but promises to consume con-
siderable time as there are three muir
der cases which were continued from
last fall, with the probability that the
grand jury will find one more indict-
ment for the same offense. The civil
calendar is mostly made up of old
cases which have been on the docket
for years, and which there is little like
lihood of ever coming up for trial.
The county has bought the lot i'm
mediately south from the court house,
and will put the Jail there. There is a
wooden building on the ground, and the
steel cells will be put inside of it. A
concrete floor is being put in, and the
cells will be brought over from Murray
some time this week. In the mean time
the prisoners will be kept under guard.

$1,000 boys must be surrendered every
year to the infamous greed of the sa-
loon business. One cannot read with
out tears that surprisingly eloquent
and pathetic plea of Judah for his
brother Benjamin, when it became ap-
parent that Jacob was to be bereft of
the child of his old age. And can we
witness unmoved the spectacle of that
company of 100000 boys moving in
procession to doom infinitely worse
than Egyptian slavery? This genera
ton of parents has furnished the num-
Der, and the next must increase it I'M
less the Christian parents of our land
interpose by prevailing prayer and by
united effort TO stay the horrible grind.
Father, mother, is there any equiva-
lent that can be paid into the city treas
ury by the saloon men that can compen-
safe you for the surrender of your boy
to make up the vast army of drunk
ards? Nay, you spurn the suggestion
with just and righteous indignation;
still the 10000 boys are drafted this
very year into the army of drunkards
to take the place at the saloon bar of
the 10000 bloated drunkards that have
been drawn forth from the city and
buried with the burial of beast. The
saloon business would perish in a gem
GRAFTON, were it not for the recruits that
our homes are furnishing every wear.
Judah's plea may well become ours:
How shall l go up to my father, and
the lad be not with me?" How can we
Christian parents go up to our Father
and these lads be not with us? How
shall we answer Him in that day vixen
we give account of our stewardship?
We have seen what goes into the hop
per of the saloon; let us see what comes
out of it. 1t empties its grist into the
bottomless pit-ruins of homes, ruins
of bodies, and ruins of hearts and souls.
1t grinds out pauperism and turns it
over to the county and state to be pro-
vided for; it grinds out idiocy and in
sanity for the state to take care of: it
grinds out criminals and crime for the
courts to investigate and for the in
dustrious and Christian people to pay
for; it grinds out lawlessness, rioting.
anarchy and non-industrial armies; it
pulverizes the ballot box, cheats the
will of honest, patriotic citizens, and
will crush the life out of our nation
if it proceeds unchecked as it has dur
ing the last 40 years. No nation can
long survive a system of iniquity that
wastes its resources at the rate of a
billion and two hundred million dollars
a year, that corrupts its homes, immo-
lates its youth and injects its poison
into the very vitals of its national life

through the swamps and over the steep,
rocky hills for three miles the hounds
freed coon. The hunters managed
matters so cleverly that each girl in
turn had a chance to blaze away at it,
and there has been dispute ever since
as to which of the young women
brought the creature down, says the
New York Journal.
Not satisfied with this, they went out
again few nights ago, but thought it
would be more fun to have few young
men with them; so they enlarged the
party, with the old coon hunter for
chaperone. They managed this time, by
staying out until two o'clock in the
morning, to get two 'coons. On their
way back one of the girls got stuck so
fast in the mud that she had to be pulled
out by the united strength of several
of her friends. The sport will be con-
tinued with a large hunt some time
next week, when the coon hunter will
have a party of about 20. He will di-
vide them up into squads, giving

"THE POOR MANS CLUB"
This Is What the Saloon Is Sometimes
Called - 1t Should BE
Abolished.

The social side of the saloon is the
deadliest and most dangerous phase of
it. just at the most dangerous period
in young mans life, when he is apt
to form false notions of the restraints
of home, the saloons open their doors
and bid him enter. The estimate is
made that 90 per cent. of all drink
cursed lives began the career of the
drunkard at the bar of the saloon.
Very strangely, we think, there are
some who, with false pity for the
poor, are willing to uphold it for the
sake of making what is called CLUB"
for the lowly. If a tree may be known
by its fruits, we may not be charged
with bearing false witness when we
say the institution which is the rem
devious of crooks, which is the center
of every influence which makes for
the decentralization of civil govern
ment, which makes it impossible to
pass sufficient laws for civic righteous
ness, has no right to live. He who
condones its presence in a community
is either blind to its effect or morally
on level with it.-Rev. Walter b. Vas
sar, in Pittsburgh Christian Advocate.

THE SALOON HOPPER.
Streams of Greed for Money and
of Depraved Appetite.

1t is said that the mills of the gods
grind slowly. This cannot be said of
the mills of the demons. They grind
fast and exceeding small 1t is a per-
petual and Unsuitable grind. There are
two streams that turn the machinery
of the saloon-the stream of greed for
money and the stream of depraved an
petite. When the hand of debauched
public sentiment lifts the flood gates of
these two continent streams, the tide
pours in upon the great wheel that
turns all the machinery of this terrible
mill of the demons. Day and night,
week day and rest day, at all seasons
and at all times, the dismal groan of the
creaking machinery may be heard on
every street and within sound of al
most every American home. One would
think these old Plutonian mills would
break down or wear out under the
ceaseless MOL of their infamous grind.
But they do not; or if one tumbles.
dozen more rise in Its stead, and still
they grind. What do they grind ?"
Well, look into the hopper and see for
yourself. That merciless receptacle
is not hidden from the public. 1t might
be a wholesome tonic for the public
conscience TO make an inventory of
some of the things that go into the
hopper.
The saloon hopper is taking in the
