Miss Aggie Murray, went to Bliss
Wednesday evening to visit for few
days, her friend. Miss Mildred Fuller.
The people of the United States will
be indebted to E. II. Hartman, chair.
man of the executive committee OF the
Union Pacific for an imposing array of
scientific facts relative to Alaska. Two
score and more of scientists, writer's.
artists, botanists, taxidermists. mineral
ogists, paleontologists, and all the other
lists and isms known to the broad field Of
science are now on their way to the
ice-locked land OF the north to spend two
months in careful research-delving
among the intricate mysteries of nature.
The party spent yesterday in Boise, en-
route to the coast. Mr.. Hartman is in
charge of the party, and he will accom-
pany them to Alaska. The party
travels In style; eight coaches-Pull-
mans. baggage coaches and diner
compose the special train in which the
searchers for knowledge travel, and Mr..
Hartman has left nothing undone that
will administer to their comfort.
The party stopped over at Shoshone,
and were driven to the Falls by G. G.
Haynes.
Memorial Day was appropriately OBJ
served by U. S. Grant Post, Grand
Army of the Republic, of Shoshone. as
sisted by civic societies and citizens.
The various orders formed in line at
Odd Fellows hall and marched to the
Methodist church, where remarks were
made by Rev. Galway, followed by an
address by Hon. j. S. Waters. The
procession then reformed and under
command of Hon ]. L. Fuller, marshal,
marched to the cemetery; the city of
the dead, and the home OF many depart
ed comrades, where the exercises of
the day were completed and the
numerous graves of the deceased veter-
ans and citizens were covered with fra
grant flowers. The firing squad then
fired salute, taps were sounded and |
the procession returned to town, each |
individual feeling that he had done his
duty to the dead, and each feeling the
effects of that silent sermon that is |
preached each time one gazes upon the |
mound that marks the last resting place |
of some one who has gone before, and |
each deeply impressed with the uncer-
tainty of this life.

| IopOnls, May olst.
Quite freeze Thursday night.
| 1t looks like rain, but feels more like
snow.
Mr.. E. L. Woodwork is daily getting
in new goods.
The air feels as though it had just come
| from off an iceburg.

days, where they will spend the sum-
mer months.
We are pleased with our new water
master and feel assured be will do just
what is right; at least. we are willing to
chance him..
Our agreeable water surprise the
other day was caused by the breaking of
some ones dam above which was quickly
fixed, and the same old story-no water.
Memorial Day was not entirely for
gotten, many who had loved ones laid
away, visited their graves, and lavishly
strewed them with flowers OF many
kinds: There being no services was
certainly an over sight, for surely there
is talent enough in Toponis to have east

negligent next year in discharQing the
one and only tribute. to those who have
gone before.
Your correspondent from here viii ex-
cuse you for the mistake in the sigma
ture. "Mayflower" instead of Traveller
and will criticize himself for forgetting
to sign the usual name; at that writing
we didn't feel as much like mayflower
as very late fall flower; but the late
renewal OF water in our river makes US
feel somewhat revived-who shall we
thank? Our CONS? Ben Shay or the
Supreme Ruler? Let 1t be whom it may,
we;write in thankfulness for the same.

WHAT DEWEY SAYS.
That the Insurrection In the Philippines
Is already Breaking Up.

NEW YORK, March 20.-A special
cable to the Journal from Manila says:
Admiral Dewey said TO the Journal COR
respondent today:
II believe that the Tagallo. insurrec-
ton is already breaking up. General
Wheaton's column could take Malolos,
the insurgents capital by good dash.
The main part OF the insurrection lies
between Manila and Malolos. There
Is practically no opposition to the
Unsted States authority in the southern
islands. The natives there hate the Ia
gallos and are really anxious to welcome
US.
1.-THE Tagallo is halfdevil and halfchild
Eradicate the devil and you have only a
child to govern. The strength of the en-.
envy has been greatly over estimated.
The insurgents are finding out that in
warfare as in great many other things
the power OF money is almost irresistible
''If the Spaniards put down an insur'
rection here, surely we can do the same
We are strong enough to hold these
islands without foreign alliance. With
the Oregon, Iowa, Monterey and Mo
nadnock we could face any possible
complication

The situation at Manila, from latest
reports, is practically the same as the
first OF the week, although daily skir-
mishes are kept up along certain parts
OF the lines.

There are no better soldiers on the Is.

The Work Of Congress.

Rarely has there been buster ses-
sion Of Congress than that which ended
on March 4th. In addition to the APP
preparation bills, which consume u
great part of the time of the short ses-
sion, and which were OF unusual i'm
portance this year, many momeutous
matters were under discussion.
The Senate ratified the treaty with
Spain. A law was passed for the TAX
ing OF the twelfth census next year.
The organization Of the navy was TO u
great extent remodelled. Provision
was made for large increase OF the
navy itself. A temporary arrangement
for an increase OF the army-rendered
necessary by the events OF the last year
was substituted for the thorough re-
organization which the administration
desired.
| This Is formidable list Of measures
adopted in session OF only three
months. Others, however, Of hardly
less consequence, remained to be acted
upon when the session closed.
A vigorous effort to authorize the
construction of the Nicaragua Canal
was ultimately unsuccessful. The bill
passed the Senate, but did not pass the
House OF Representatives; and the only
outcome Of the long struggle between
its advocates and It's opponents Is ar
appropriation OF million dollars for
the collection OF information for the
use Of the next Congress.
No act was passed to provide for this
government OF Hawaii, nor did Con
gress undertake to organize govern
ments for the other new possessions, OF
for Cuba.
These were the chief failures OF tn,
session; yet there were very large
number OF minor matters that demand
ed, but did not receive, the attention
!. OF Congress. There was not sufilcien
time for their consideration. Will
our national legislators may sometime
be justly criticised for taking wrouI
views upon matters Of public policy
; and OF wasting time by needless per
sonal or partisan contention, yet no on
can deny that the last Congress was in
dustrious.
There are ample reasons for believ
| ing that men Of all parties strove witt
, equal patriotism TO promote the genera
welfare. The failure to harmonic dit
ferences must be in the main attribute
to the short session, and not to indo
lence or to factious disregard OF tn
public good. Youths Com panion.

DEER LIKELY TO DIE.
Heavy Snow in Yellowstone Park Covers
Their Food.

WASHINGTON, March l9.-Csp,niu
Erwin, aetiug-superintendent OF the
Yellowstone Park, has reported to the
Interior Department that the unprc-
cedeuted fall Of snow In the Park this
year unquestionably will lead to the
death OF very many antelope, deer and
elk before the winter Is over In places
In the Park snow Is over II feet In depth
and Is firmly crusted everywhere, which
prevents these animals from digging
through and obtaining their food un-
derneath. This condition OF affairs, Il
Is expected, probably will last all this
month and perhaps next. a small APP
preparation from the Park revenue for
buying hay is asked. Many deer are
now In the immediate neighborhood Of
the military post, picking up bits OF
hay. The scouts report the elk very
weak and believe that unless steps
are taken to feed them the deaths
among them will amount to thousands.
The main herd Of buffalo, however, be-
Ing in region Of hot springs tina. melt
the snow, are getting along fairly we'll.

PilipInoes.

In employing Filipino servants one
cannot treat them with that leniency
and kindness due a good and faithful
servant. Their nature revolts at kind
ness. The foreigners at Manila who
have employed them for many years
say:
"You cannot give Filipino servants
tips for extra service; you dare not ex-
press satisfaction with their work and
you must at least one time week kick
and cuff them about to make them
keep in line with their business and
feel that they are servants"
SO when we whip them into submis.
sion and make them lay down their
arms we must always keep them In
fear and dread of US. They must fee
that we can whip them every day In
the week, but the serious question IL
what sort OF an American citizen will
that class Of beings make, when We
think with pride that an American
kneels TO none but his God?

TERMS OF SUBSCRIPTION /:
h'KISLEY vs.. HIS OLD OPPONENT
The Ticket for Nineteen Hundred Al
ready In Sight.

The meeting Of President Mckinley, |
Senator Hanna and Mr.. Plats in Thorn |
asville, Ca, the Belmont dinner in |
New York and the early discussion of
she place of holding the national con-
ventions, indicate that the Presidential
campaign has opened q year ahead OF
the usual time.
The friends Of Reed, too, gave a din
ner, said to have been for the purpose
Of launching his Presidential boom.
The distribution Of patronage has, as
usual, made q good many enemies for
the Presidential incumbent, and these
dissatisfied place-hunters and their
friends propose to rally round the
Reed standard. Failing in this it is
generally believed they will fall into
the Roosevelt camp.
MIR. Hanna has doubtless observed
this, and it probably explains Why he
has summoned q council of the friends
of the President to take immediate
steps TO head it off and prevent it from
becoming dangerous. AS soon as Sem
ator Hanna returns from Townsville,
which will be about the lst OF April, it
is understood he viii call a meeting Of
the executive committee of the Repub-
lican National Committee. The meet
Ing will take place in Washington and
the machinery Of the party will be set
in motion.
In this way Senator Hanna hopes to
forestall any opposition to Mr.. McKin-
ley that may be developed. While Nc
Kinley and Bryan are strong favorites
for the Republican and Democratic
nominations, there is big minority in
each organization that is working
against them. General opinion here is
that il the National Conventions should
be held within the next few months
both Mckinley and Bryan would prob
ably be nominated without serious OPP
position, but the events Of the next
twelve or fourteen months may change
the situation materially.
''Mr. Bryan's friends" said Bryan
man Saturday, "will certainly control
the Democratic National Convention
next year. They will organize the
convention and appoint the committee
on contested seats. 1t is safe to say
that there will be contesting delega.

Bryan's nomination. Two-thirds rul,
