The Rocky Mountain Bell Telephone
Company has thousands of miles of
lines strung through the Noun
tain States, from which it derives rev.
enues. A great percentage of these
lines was constructed with money
raised by subscription paid by the
company's patrons, at least that is the
history of nearly every mile of line
strung in Cwyhoe County The poor
company which exacts toll for every
service has been made present by the
people of more than half the property
it owns in this country. Does it cou-
tinue to be beggar? Yes. When the
railroad was extended from Gufy to
Murphy the telephone line did not fol
low it. Now Silver City as1 DeLlmar
business men who have freight arriy
ing or who want to communicate with
Murphy are practically shut OFF. The
phone line will have to be moved for

would have thought the company would
have been prompt to make the change,
Did it? Not much, Petitions were
signed and sent the manager askil
MIN to have it done. Then came a re-
spo nse that it would cost s1.50o and if
the patrons of the liue would put up
that amount the change would be
made. After considerable dicksring
with the manager, he has finally pro-
posed that he will make the change
provided the people will pay for it
(more than it is thought it will cost
and he will allow them rebates on their
telephone tolls until the money advan-
ced has been refunded. The people
will have to submit to this imposition.
Here is little taste Of monopoly which
uuhappily illustrates whittier affairs

Mr.. Tom Penrose, who owns n
pretty ranch over on Picket Greek,
from which he sells fruit in Del-amar,
brought the Nugget box of apples
and pears which, for size, beauty
and flavor, "knocks the spots off" of
any fruit we have seen since we saw
the Idaho display Of fruits at the
Omaha exposition. But Mr.. Penrose
has been showing the prize fruit OF
Owyhee here for a number of years.
Why can't other fruit growers get into
the knack of selecting fine varieties
and then caring for their orchards as
we'll as he? But then all fruit growers
are not so favorably situated.

Next Thursday will be banner day
in Boise history. With our soldier
boys welcome home aud the great fair
in full swing, the city will overflow
with people. We hope Boise people
will give them all welcome which will
make that city distinguished for ability
to entertain a crowd. We hope the
class which will be attracted there be-
cause of the opportunities for fleeing
people will find poor pickings and sum
mary treatment from the authorities.
The Inter- Mountain Fair is still on
trial, its management is still striving
to make a reputation for it which will
insure its permanency and the success
of its annual gatherings. This can
only be accomplished by maintaining
the most rigid fairness in every sport
ing event and like fair treatment to
every exhibitor and visitor. We be
lieve that is the intent Of the mana
cement. But it requires vigilance to
hold in check the schemers who will be
there only for personal gain, ready to
throw q racing event OF perpetrate
frauds Of every character. We hope
the managers will exercise that vigi-
lance, as we have said, the Fair is Still
on trial.

In the Boise Fair program, as pub

Fair Committee is too previous in ar
ranging its program, or the Boise Gun

lied the committee to put this on the

arranged for. More than two months
ago, the DeLamar lub issued chal-
lenge to the Boise Club for a match
with five to seven men on a side, the
winners to get s35 per man and ex-
penses-the contest to take place
either at DeLamar or Boise. TO this
challenge Boise replied that it would
accept, and fixed the time and place at
Boise, OH Sept. 10. DeLamar then re-
sponded, on August %, that our men
could not get away for that date, but
we're willing to make the match here
on the date named, or in Boise during
Fair week To DeLamar's proposition
no response has ever been received
Certainly had the Boise Club intended
to accept, the announcement would
long ago have been made. There is
either a mistake out somewhere or
Boise is running bluff.

$500 PERYEAR

When the deeds OF courage and valor
in the Philippines have become part
of familiar history one of the brightest
pages will be given to the wives and
maidens who bore part so nobly with
the Kansas troops. They were present
in the trenches, ready with bandages
to give first aid to any stricken soldier,
and about the hospitals their CHEEKY
presence and deft nursing gave COM
fort to many a wounded boy. In the
letters written to home felix by the
Kansas wounded we find mentioned the
names of Mrs. Funston, wife of the
colonel; Mrs. Schileman, wife of the
chaplain; Mrs. Buchan, wife of the
Kansas City captain; Mrs. Whitman,
wife of the junior major, and, perhaps
more frequently yet, the names of Miss
Bradner and Miss Ollie O'Brien. Miss
Bradner vent from Kansas to India
several years ago as a missionary.
With the breaking out of the Spanish
war she proceeded to Hong-Kong, and
then, after Manila had fallen, to the
Philippine capital, where she at once
installed herself as nurse in the
Twentieth Kansas. She kept at the
front with the boys all through the
late campaign, and applied the first re-
lief to all the wounded that came with
in her reach. 1t is related by one Kan
sas boy that during one of the fierce
engagements this young woman sat
by his side in the trenches, coolly pass
ing cartridges to him as fast as he could
fire.
Miss Ollie O'Brien is q Topeka girl
who went to Manila last summer on
pleasure bent. She accompanied Mrs.
Stutensburg, wife of regular army Of
aeer who is now serving with the vol
untccrs from Nebraska. When the
wounded commenced to come from the
front she volunteered to go into the
hospital as nurse, and she has attend
ed to her duties faithfully and well.
Miss O'Brien is naturally of the army.
When bit of babe she was adopted
into the family of Capt. NJ. O'Brien, and
the people of Hays City remember well
the pretty little girl who used to fit
about their town when the captain was
stationed at the nearby fort.
Miss O'Rrien is tasting for the first
line in her life the delight of being
something in the world besides social
favorite. She writes to friends that
there is no other word but glorious"
She is learning to be thrilled by the
crash of guns, the tramp of men and
the blast Of bugle. The flag is no longer

breezes-it is the soul of nation.
speaking its serious thoughts. When
she wraps the wounds of patriots she
feels that she is soothing the hurts OF
her country, and the strength and
broadness OF it is coming to her like
great light out of darkness. All Of this
Miss O'Brien tells in her letters, and
she says she is not shocked nor grieved,
but happy--fiercely happy.-Kansas

A Queer Marriage Ceremony

In the northwestern part of
Kentucky there lives an Irish ma
gistrate, a man of liberal educa-
ton and full quoth of genuine
Irish wit. A short time ago Jim
and Bet, colored pair, called up
on the squire, having been notified
of their coming, prepared and &C.
tually used the following ceremo-
ny:
Jim will you take Bet,
Without any regret,
To love and cherish
Until one Of you perish,
And Is laid under the sod,
So help me God9"
All of which being answered in
the affirmative by Jim, the squire
turned to Bet and said:
"Bet will you take Jim.
And cling to him,
Both out and in.
Through thick and thin.
Holding him to your heart,
Till death do you part?"
Bet acquiesced in a modest bow
of the head, and now the happy
pair were dismissed as follows:
"ThrO' life's alternate joy and strife,
InOw pronounce you man aud wife
Go up the hill till you get the level
And salute your bride you old black

McENERY HANDY.

Our esteemed friend of the La
fayette Gazette in criticizing the
action of Senator McEnery in vo-
ting for the DINGHY bill, and more
recently voting for the ratification
of the treaty of peace with Spain.
SAYS the Senator is q handy man
in a pinch. This is meant because
on both occasions, he cast his vote
for Republican measures.
The Gazette must have forgot
ten how handy McEnery proved
to be when the Democratic party
was in pinch and Denegre at the
point of being elected, or rather
at the time he was deprived of his
election. McEnery slipped in fixed
the natter all right and got the
n-mln. ON aud thus saved the
Democratic party.
The Messenger has always look
ed upon McEnery as good poll
tician, and a good man, and with
backbone enough not to be con.
trolled by the powers, but to ACT
according to his own judgment,
and his vote on both OCCASIONS re-
fered to, was for the good of his
people, for both times he cast his
vote with the Republicans, waf
with the direct idea of protecting
the sugar interest of Louisiana
And his course should be com
mended by all the people of Lou
isians. We of course, expect some
adverse comment from the politi

was not in accord with the Demo

will be noticed that four prisoners
were sentenced to Jail and work on

One OF. the prisoners for 10 days,
one for 30 days and two for 60
days. These prisoners at this
time could not work in the parish
to any advantage, unless they
were turned over to one of the
road masters, but their full time
could be employed in the town by
simply turning over the prisoners
to one of our police officers who
would keep them under his charge
all the time they would be at
work, and thus without any ex-
pense to the town. Ii the whole
term of those men were employed

sary work in town it would be a

These prisoners are held at the
criminal expense of the parish and
towns, and as st. Martinville pays
q large portion of the criminal tax,
it il entitled to some of tha labor
of the prisoners sentenced to road
work, and when they are not en-

Southern Trade Record.

1t Is not the OBJECT OF TINS eoIto-
rial to proclaim the many advan-
tages of life insurance, for the fact
that it is a great blessing to those
who are not in the position to pro-
vide for their loved ones has been
demonstrated by the fact that
nearly every man carries some
kind of life insurance. The OBJ
ject of this article is not point out.
or, in other words, to solve the
problem, which is the best form of
life insurance now in existence.
There are three distinct forms
from which to choose: Fraternal,
Business or Assessment Compa-
MES, and Old-Line Legal Reserve
Companies. In regard to the Old
Line Reserve Companies, we have
little to say, but upon close exa-
mination we believe that their
charges are entirely too high in
regards to service rendered.
The immense profit these COM
panies make is demonstrated by
the fact that the ten leading COM
panies have assumed control and
acquired capital to the amount of
one billion dollars. Any one can
see that this great amount of mo-
ney, placed in the hands of a few
men, is a menace to the country at
large, as it is safe to say that all
this money will never finds its way
into the hands of the people again.
In regard to business associa-
tons or assessment companies,
statistics show that in nearly every
case their expenses were 30 much
larger than their receipts should
be that they seem to exist just SO
long as they have good luck and a
low death rate.
: It is with fraternal insurance
that the public should be more
familiar. The blessing that it ten
iders to the man of moderate means
should be heralded by every jour-
nal throughout the land. Stats
tics show that this is the proper
system when conducted in a judi
cious and honest manner. The
, question now arises, (Which is
the best fraternal association or
order to join?" and that the pa
irons of the Record may be in a
position to know where the money
that is to provide for the benefci-
aries or become the sure staff in
declining years can be best placed,
this paper has made a careful in
vestigation along these lines,
which led to the examination CT
the sworn statements and other
records of various orders, and find
that the Knights of Honor SUI
preme Lodge, of Ninth and Olive
Streets, st. Louis, Mo-, is the one
: we feel justified in recommending
} in preference to all others.
Extreme care is taken in this
; company, and when a policy is
1 issued the party can feel reasona-
bly, certain that he has more than
average health.

all men of the highest integrity

lieve possesses the best executive

Her oonselspce Troubled Her.

The officials of the Wisconsin Central
general passenger department received a
remarkable letter from a woman who re-
sides at a point on the Central in North
ern Wisconsin. In it she says that about
eighteen years ago, while carrying a 500
mile commercial book Of the Central issue,
she boarded a freight train of the COM
pany to go a short distance. The con-
ductor failed to call fof her fare, and she
left the train without s-urrendering any
mileage. which announced for the trip TO
sixteen cents. Now, eighteen years later,
she writes to the o~nilials inclosing six
teen two-eent stamps. with a long letter of
explanation and the statement that she
desires to act honestly with all people and
to uphold her reputation as a Christian.
She says the double amount is to cover
the original fare and the interest fer eigh-
teen years. A letter Of acknowledgment
and appreciation of the act was prepared
at the Office Of the Central-Chicago
