The shooting OF M. Jabord, leading

all the life out OF this mornings ses-
sion of the Dreyfus court martial The
murderer apparently chose to-day for
the attempt because IL was known that
NJ. Labori would crush Gen. Mercier,
the former minister OF war, with his
cross questioning.
The news caused an immense senka-
tion in the court room. where the usual
audience had assembled, awaiting the
entrance Of the judges.
M. Labori's absence had just been an
nounced when suddenly M. Jaunay,
secretary OF the Judiciary press, rushed
into the room and shouted: M. La
bor has been shot,
All present gavs gasp Of horror and
surprise. Then every man jumped to
his feet and volley OF questions were
hurled at M. Jaunay, who. crying

The traveller, tourist or business man
is wise when he selects the Rio Grande

Route for his route to the East. It is
the only trans continental line passing
directly through Salt Lake City, and in
addition to the glimpse it affords of
the Temple City, the Great Salt Lake
and the picturesque Salt Lake and Utah
Valleys, it offers the choice of three
distinct routes through the mountains
and the most magnificent scenery in
the world Double daily train service

and took the sheep away from
Franklin and sold them TO some
man over in Wyoming without !
paying any attention to Brennan's
mortgage. Brennan thereupon
commenced suit against Mccormick
for the recovery Of 500 sheep or
their equivalent. For three or
four weeks Sheriff Ellis and Deputy
Sheriff Mullen had been looking
for Mccormick to serve the papers
on him but that was just what he
didn't want and he led them quite
chase lodging in and about the
herds on the hills about Soda and
finally got out Of the state over in
to Wyoming without being caught.
Last week Mccormick decided
to return to Portland. His at
torneys told him he had better go
around by Ogden; that Ellis would
catch him sure if he came through
Pocatello but he thought he could
make it and started on Sunday.
Before he got to Pocatello he bribed
every porter on the train and had
himself hidden away in the linen
closet in the diner, hot box next
to the range where he almost melted
and ran away. Sheriff Ellis was
on to the fact that he was on the
train and he and Mullen were at
the depot to meet it. They searched
the train but found no trace of Nc.

A Thresher Explodes.

A peculiar explosion occurred
Tuesday on the farm of Leroy
Adams near Meridian. The thresh-
ing machine exploded and was
wrecked SO badly that it will have
to undergo extensive repairs before
it can be used again.
The cause of the explosion is a
mystery, but it is attributed to
spontaneous combustion.
The thresher was being crowded

A Valuable Forage Plant.

A plant of great value to the west,
and particularly on alkai lands, is
the Australian salt bush. On the
poorest and most arid and stubborn
soil and that strongly lmpregnated
with alkali this plant makes Wig
orous and excellent forage growth.
The California Experiment Station
has made extended investigations
of salt bushes for many years and
is now cooperating with the United
States Department of Agriculture
to introduce the plant throughout
the west without cost to the farm
ers. The best species-atriplex
semibaceata, imported from Aus
tralia-t hriyes under great variety
of conditions, from extreme aridity
to irrigation, as shown by the Cali
fornia experiments, and seems to
combine a remarkable number of
virtues, including great frost resist
anee, late growth, drouth resistance,
succulence, palatability and heavy
yield, sand-bindIng qualities and
the habit of spreading freely.
Farmers desiring to know more of
this plant or obtain seed would do
we'll to write to the Secretary OF
Agriculture at Washington.

Special Crops.

1t is often more difficult to find a
market for special crops such as fruits
celery, melons, onions, beans and the
like, than it is to grow them. The home
market is soon supplied and the surplus
product in seeking distant market is
soon eaten up by commission, express
and freight charges. We know of a
case where a man this year raised four
acres OF fine watermelons as ever grew
equal in size to the Georgia melons and
vastly superior to them in quality, but
he had to sell them for what he could
get on glutted home market and The
four acres or land would nave brought
lin better return had it been planted
to corn instead Of melons. Where a
cannery is within reach the special crops
used by it can nearly always be made
more profitable than the common crops
of the farm, but where market is an
uncertain thing it is best to let special
crops alone.

They Went in the Night.

After merry and musical season of
love-making and building the birds
slipped away in the night and the frosty
air Of the October morning is unbroken
by the note or call Of single bird. The
orioles, grosbeaks, cat-birds, thrushes
and fy-catchers went first, journeying
south by easy installments; little later
the wrens, gh-holes, blue birds, wood
peckers and finches went; then the
swifts, martins and barnswallows massed
in focks, and after holding noisy con-
ventions as if planning their southern
trip, sailed round and round for last
look at their summer home and left us
for good as they disappeared into the
darkening shades of the southern horizon.
Later the robins and the blackbirds
gathered their clans and mostly dis
appeared, leaving only few OF their
number which may be found on the
sunny side of some grove, or in some
sheltered nook, until snow falls. The
humming bird went when the frost kill
ed the flowers, while the jay, the crow
and the sparrow will stay with us
through the winter. We reluctantly bid
these little friends farewell and hope
that they got enough of our berries so
that they will all come back on their
concert tour next year.

The First 500.

The ability to earn and save up-par-
ticularly save up-the sum of one hun
dred dollars by the time he is twenty
years of age, very largely determines the
question whether the young man shall
acquire competency for his old age, or
whether he will have to depend upon
the charity of friends, die in poorhouse
and be buried in pauper's grave. The
saving Of the first one hundred dollars
involves all the self-denying and econ
omic methods on small scale which are
incident to the accumulation of a fortune.
The doing Of it will be as hard finan-
cial problem to most young men as they
will tackle any time during their lives.
The one hundred dollars is not very
large sum, it is true, still, the earning
and saving Of it makes it an educational
factor Of Observation-Disclosures value. The
boy who has earned and saved this sum
has learned in the first place, that most
important lesson-the real value of a
dollar; then it represents denial OF
appetite, repression of purely animal
tastes and desires which develop endur-
ance, patience, manliness; it knocks the
easy come, easy go idea of money which
SO many young men have, all to pieces;
it teaches him how to say mo" and stick
to it. Then, he learns of the cohesive
power Of dollar-how one dollar will
draw other dollars to itself, and also OF
the cumulative power which combined
dollars have over individual and scatter
ed ones. BY saving one hundred dollars
thus, he will learn to respect money and
value it rightly as the important factor
it is in his own development as man.
No boy who may read this item(and
great many will)can do better or more
sensible thing for himself than to resolve
that he will earn-honestly earn by good
hard knocks-and save, not less than
one hundred dollars by the time he is
twenty, and our word for it the experience
and discipline which he will undergo in
the doing Of it will be worth more than
81 600 to him in after life.
