with any of the musicians, either
gods or men, bar none, two best
in-three. The judges of the con-
test were 20 be selected from
among the gods and men; one Of
the men was King Midas, who
supposed that he was Judge OF
music, though he really knew but
little more about real melody than
an English sparrow. When the
contest was called Pan came with
his piccelO and blew a few tunes
that he had learned by ear. Then
Apollo came with a brand new
harp Of his own manufacture. 1t
was a nice harp and could not be
duplicated for less than Sass.
He then proceeded to knock off
some OF the latest opera music,
putting on numerous frills such as
had not been heard of in those
parts before. When he was
through all the judges except Mi
das Immediately decided that
Apollo was entitled to the blue
ribbon and that Pan simply was
not in it. Midas, however, stood
out and declared that Pans style
suited him a LOT better than the
operate frills that had been put
on by Apollo and that Pan had
his vote. This made Apollo
warm under the neckband and

marks about a Judge who didn't
have any more idea of harmony
than a swine has of the protective

is in hot pursuit. There was re-
Gently small outbreak on the
island of Negros out of which the
anti -imperialists tried 10 manu-
faclure little political thunder
but il was Of SO trifliDg a nature
that it soon lost interest.
In the northern part of the
State little agricultural boomlet
has been launched in the interest
of State Auditor Bartlett Sinclair.
Three farmers and a roam dog
were recently discovered on a
street corner ia Moscow eating
apples and discussing politics.
One of them, history fails to
chronicle which, expressed him
self as favoring Bartlett for gu
bernatorial timber. The others
entered no protest, SO it goes
abroad that there is a powerful
public sentiment in Idaho impel-
ling Mr.. SlnclAir irresistfbly for

onward.

under the impression that his pa
per was wallowing in the depth
of political gumbo; but TO the
general public it is interesting en-
ly because of the implication that

Notes.
t~~~~ N~@N~N@2

Last Thursday notaDh eVenl
touching the prosperity and de-
velopment Of east central Idaho
was the celebration Of the com-
pletion of branch of the Oregon
Short Line to St. Anthony,
There was present number Of
railroad and State officials besides
such notable statesmen and jour
nalists as Philetus Averitt and ].
D. Flenn er, also representatives
of the Utah press, Appropriate
ceremonies were observed includ-
ing speeches, champagne and
banquet. St. Anthony is the
county seat of Fremont county
which for many years was the
northern end of Oneida county.
Eight years ago it was a portion
Of Bingham county and in 1893
was cut off to itself. Until about
the year 1887 the country now
comprising Fremont county was
but sparsely settled, the inhabit-
ants being in the main stockmen
whose hands Of horses and cattle
roamed at will ever the valleys
and mountains from Snake river
to the Yellowstone Park. In
1887 began the movement of
Mormons from Utah and south
eastern Idaho which has convert
ed the lonely valleys into pro-
ductive farms teeming with in
dustrious and prosperous people.
The first purely agricultural set
tiers encountered many hardships
aud difficulties, but they perse-
vered and overcame all obstacles.
One of the last and greatest Of
their difficulties was to get their
products TO market, and to many
of the settlements the nearest
railroad point was IS or 100
miles distant. The completion Of
the railroad to St. Anthony, a
point practically in the center of
the county, is therefore a matter
Of great importance to the peo-
pie and9an event worthy of en-
thusiastic celebration. 1.-THE rail-
road company now treats the peo-
pie fairly, and no doubt it will,
Fremont county has certainly en-
tered on an era of prosperity
compared to which the past rap
id growth and development will
hardly be a circumstance. To
one who traversed that country
in the seventies when Jack Amer
son, John Adams, Lon Hardness
and Tom Louder were the prin-
cipal celebrities; when Gilmore
and Salisbury's stage line was the
only rapid transit and bull teams
the regular vehicles of transpor-
tation; when one could follow up
the Snake for miles and miles
without peeting with anything
but coyotes, antelopes and soli-
tude mixed with red hot mosque
toes inseason, the transferma-
ton is almost unrealizable. But
it has come and it all goes to
show how great is Idaho and
what well directed industry coup
leo with perseverance will do.
In 1890 the whole population Of
what now is Bannock, Bingham
and Fremont counties was only
1855, of which perhaps not one
tenth was within the present
boundaries Of Fremont. The
next census will probably show a
population of that much in Ere
mont alone.
The work Of taking the census
for 1900 viii begin on the first of
next June and in cities of 5000 or
more inhabitants must be COM
pleted in two weeks, in the coun- |

blank upon which applications are
to be made.
Under the provisions of section !
of the census act the enumeration
in June, 1900, is restricted to in
quiries relating to the population,
to mortality, and to the products
Of agriculture and of manufacture
ing and mechanical establish
ments, and, BY the same section,
the schedules of mortality and of
manufacturing and mechanical es-
adjustments may be withheld
from the enumerators, in the dis
erection of the Director of the Gem
sus. In no case, therefore, will
the schedules of inquiries 10 be
made by the census enumerators
exceed four in number, and in
this respect the work of the en-
umerators at the Twelfth Census
will be much more simple than
that required of enumnrators at
preceding censuses.
The compensation to be paid
to enumerators is fixed by section
10 Of the act of March 3, 1899,
and a minimum rate of two cents
for each living inhabitant, two
cents for each death, fifteen cents
for each farm, and twenty cents
for each establishment of prod uc-
tive industry is provided for all
subdivisions where such allow
ances shall be deemed sufficient.
In other subdivisions where high
er per capita rates are to be paid
according to the difficulty of en-
umeration, the maximum rate will
not exceed three cents for each
living inhabitant, three cents for
each death, twenty cents for each
farm, and thirty cents for each es-
tablishment of productive industry,
while in subdivisions where per
diem rates are established, having
reference to the nature of the re-
gion to be canvassed and the
density or sparseness of settlement,
or other considerations pertinent
thereto, the compensation allowed
to enumerators will be not less
than three nor more than six dol
lars per day of ten hours actual
field work each.
A special dispatch to the Salt
Lake Tribune announces that
President Mckinley will direct
the agents of the post office de-
partment, treasury department
and department of the interior to
investigate charges of polygamy
that have been lodged against
certain Federal appointees. If it
is found, says the dispatch, that
men who have been appointed to
office by the present Administra-
ton are maintaining illicit and IL
legal relations, they will be sum-
marily removed; and besides this
the Federal officials will file in
formation against them with the
State authorities in order that
presentations may be brought
without delay. The action is
probably prompted by the dec
laration of Brigham H. Roberts,
made on the floor of the House
of Representatives, that polyga-
mists had been appointed to Fed
eral offices. We belive this is an
eminently just proceeding; be-
cause if Mr.. Roberts is to be ex-
Guided from Congress on account
of his polygamous practices, 9th
ers should not enjoy immunity.
The situation in Utah is begin
ming to assume considerable mag
nitude.

HOMEWARD BOUND.
First indie eatIoas That Dewey's Flag shIp
Is to Start for United states.

A@ 10 SG1rI Tor OntIc0 states.
Washington, May IL. - "Send
Olympia's mail to B. F. Stevens, No.
Trafalgar Square, London, Eng. :"
was the notice given out at the navy
department today. This is the first
formal indication that the famous
flagship is coming home Immediately.
Upon inquiry, it was ascertained
that Secretary Long had last even
Ing cabled Admiral Dewey permis-
sion to return at once to the Unite d
States. He has been relieved of the
obligation of remaining at Manila
until the Philippine commission CON-
plCtes its work. He is not even re-
quired to await the cessation of
hostilities, but may start homeward
at once, The notice posted at the
navy department indicates that the
Olympia will not remain long enough
to receive the next outward mail.
The Mr.. Stevens referred to is the
navy departments agent at London
to distribute all of the mail of the
United States warships in European
waters, so he will see to it that the
Olympia receives hers as soon as
she passes the Suez canal. 1t is
estimated at the navy department
that Dewey will reach the United
States in time for a national demon
stration on the Fourth of July next.
The Olympia will not come under
full steam, but, nevertheless, she
should make the run to New
York in about fifty-five days from
Manila.
Admiral Watson will sail from San
Francisco next Tuesday as a pas
senger on one of the regular Pacific
mail steamers, but cannot possibly
reach Manila before the middle OF
June. Orders have been issued
placing Capt. A. s. Barker in COM
Aand of the Asiatic squadron after
Admiral Dewey's departure until re-
lieved by Rear-Admiral Watson. A.
soon as relieved by Admiral Watson
Capt, Barker will return to America

Oppose an Extra Session.

Washington, d. c., May 12.-
There is a decided opposition to an
extra session among those who are
opposed to financial legislation.
The effort of the indianapolis none
tary commission for an early session
have aroused considerable antogon-
ism among Western men. This is
not because the Presidents recon-
mendations are not favored in the
West, but for the reason that the
indianapolis currency reformers are
thought to be asking too much. 1t is
argued that their anxiety for ad-
vanced currency reform will pre-
cipitate the silver question on Con-
gress with annoying results in many
districts, and that it will be better
to avoid the Fastening of the excit-
ing controversy.
Another element is opposed to
having the operation of the admins
tration embarrassed by interference
in the Philippine campaign and in
the pacification of Cuba. When con-
gress meets a conflict is looked for
between the expansionists and anti
expansionists, and the subiugation
of the Filipinos will, it is said, be
retarded instead of aided by the
congressional debates.
Both sides will be heard before
tbs final conclusion is reached, but
the weight of opinion is that the
President will continue in his pres
ent mind in favor of convening the
Fifty-sixth Congress a month or two
ahead of the first Monday in
December.

Coal Discovered IN Durant.

Durant, 1. T., May 12.-Parties
from tho coal fields of the Indian
Territory came into town yesterday
morning to investigate reports that
coal had been discovered at this
place, and an expert who was with
them pronounced it a good quality
and in all probability large supply.
Coal was found in two places within
one mile of the town.

Indians Threatened With Famine

Florence, Ariz., May 11.-Famine
among the Indians on the Poma and
Maricopa reservation seems inevita-
BILE unless government aid is grant
ed. For many years these Indians
have irrigated with water taken
from the Gila River. They raised
last year 10, 900, 900 pounds of excel
lent wheat, and have done much
better in years before. This year,
however, they will raise less than
900, ,0GJ pounds.
The trouble is not due alone to the
drouth of the last year, but is also
due to the fact that the farmers of
the upper valley have so drained the
Gila that little water gets as far
down as the Indian bitches. The In
dians are peaceful and have never
been troublesome. This year it is
believed 1000 Pomas are practically
destitute.
Government surveyors have been
busy for several years in this vicini-
ty, seeking some means of impound-
ing water for the benefit of the In
dian farmers.

A MURDEROUS OFFICER.

A Guthrie Constable Shoots a Popular
Young Lsdy-TsIk of LynchIna.
Guthrie, Okla, was greatly ex-
cited yesterday.
Miss Ella Arnold, a very pretty
and popular young lady, was shot
through the body by Henry
Prudens, constable for Guthrie
township.
The young lady was a sales
woman in the shoe store of Mrs.
David Hetseh, her sister.
The officer. with two deputies,
went to serve an attachment on
some goods. and the lady demand
ed to see his warrant.
The young lady moved toward a
table on which lay pistol.
The officer said, No you
don't" and fired.
Miss Arnold reeled and was fall
inga when she was seized by the
throat and dragged from the house
to the sidewalk.
The screams of Mrs. Hetsch
alarmed Prudens and his pals, who
fed.
Neighbors cared for the young
! lady, and while the wound is dan
gerous, there is living chance for
her.
Prudens surrendered to the
sheriff, who later arrested the other
two deputies. Justice Faulkner
was also arrested but later re-
leased.
Talk of lynching was so strong
that the prisoners were taken to
Oklahoma for safe keeping.

Flesh Stripped OF.

Denton, Tex, May Ed Black,
a half brother of G.. T. Black, who
resides at Gale, I. t, came very
near losing his foot this morning at
that place. He was feeding a hay
press with his foot when it was
caught in the machinery and the
flesh stripped off to the ankle on one
side. At first it WAS thought that
the foot would have to be ampu-
tated, bnt the doctors dressed the
wound and the sufferer is resting
easy.

DEWEY IN BAD HEALTH.

Chicago, May 12.-Judging from a
cablegram received today from Ad-
miral Dewey his health, despite
medical assurances to the contrary
is none of the best, and to this fact
is due his probable return by the
way of the Suez canal instead of the
Pacific coast route. The message is
as fJllows:
MANY thanks. Impossible to ac-
cept invitation now. Condition OF
health necessitates rest and quiet.

The Noted Bandit Denies That lie Has
Applied for Executive CIemency.
Lansing, Kan, May s. 1s99.-To
the editor of the Journal: Coffey-
vile Kan. Dear Sir: 1 notice in
the issue of your paper of May 4, an
article relative to my pardon. Now,
once for all, 1 want it distinctly un-
elstood that l have not applied to
Governor Stanley for a pardon, NOR
have l any intention of asking for
one.
1t may be true that friends who
have confidence in my future con-
duct by my department here haN e
written the governor asking him to
look into my case when it comes up,
but that is as far as it has gone.
But there is one statement 1 wish
to make, and that is: When the
time comes that l feel that 1 have
been sufficiently punished, and can
get the consent of the majority OF
those personally interested, l shall
ask that my sentence be commuted
to a reasonable number of years, and
l have ample reasons to believe
will be successful. If not, there is
nothing in prison reform, humanity
or Justice.
Another thought: If the people
aim to give me another chance in
this life, why not do it before l am
old, broken down, unambitious, and
can become nothing but public
charge, if released, and while there is
still a show for me at least to partial
ly atone for the past. Respectfully,
EMMETT DALTON.

Whites Mourn for a Negro.

Albany, Ga, MAY 13.-Frank W.
Mccarthy. one of the most promin-
ent negroes in Southwest Georgia,
died at his home in this city last
night. His funeral occurred here
today, and was attended by an i'm
mense throng of both whites and
blacks. For the first time in the
history of Albany, town of 5000
inhabitants, every store and Office
was closed in honor of a negro, no
business being transacted while the
funeral was in progress. Mccarthy
never dabbled in politics, but was
probably the most influential negro
in the country. His death is deplor-
ed by white and colored people.
