WILLIE SCARCLIFF.

Willie Scarcliff quietly passed away to
that better country last Thursday after
noon, May Sd. and the remains were
tenderly laid in bed of flowers in Fas-
sett cemetery on Saturday afternoon,
May 5th. Little Willie was the only son
of Mr.. and Mrs. Scarcliff of Indian Ford,
and was much beloved. He was d bright
and promising boy and by his sunny dis
position and thoughtfulness made many
friends. Ever since the unfortunate &C
cident, Willie grew worse and in spite of
the best medical skill and all that loving
hands and hearts could do, he went to
that land where the children are happy
forever more. The little fellow suffered
much, but was so patient and resigned
The funeral service was conducted by
Rev. E. J. Symons, was very largely at
tended by relatives and friends who
sympathize most deeply with the be-
reaved. Willie was aged 9 years, 6 mo-
and Is DAYS.

Obituary.
SIMON ALDER.

Simon Alder was born in the town of
Western, Onida county, n. Y, April 81,
1911. When three years of age his
parents died. He was then cared for by
his grandparents until he was sixteen,
then he went to live with hisuncle David
Cleveland, remaining with him five
years. October 18th, 1882, he was mar
ried to Mary Hawkins, who several years
ago took her departure to the better
land. To them were born twelve chill
dren, of whom eight are now living;
Henry of Clarion, Iowa; Martha Brund
age of Milton; Alvin of Edgerton; Alma
Garrison of Oshkosh; Marriott Wilmarth
of Milton; Eliza Torncrook of Water
town; Gustavus B of Clear Lake, Iowa,
Frances Addie of Milton. All of them
were at his bedside during his illness
and received his last blessing. Thirty
two of the forty grandchildren are alive
and of the nineteen great grandchildren
fourteen remain. After his marriage he
engaged in the manufacture of lumber
and later in farming and teaching school
and for two years he labored in a furnace,
after which he changed his residence
and again engaged in the manufacture

gagged in carding of wool and dressing
cloth. In the spring of 1858 he came
with his family to Wisconsin and settled
in the town of Milton where after three
years residence on the farm belonging to
James Sowles he purchased the farm
upon which he resided at the time of
his death, which took place April Oath,
1900, at the advanced age of eighty nine
years and three days.
In his youth our brother was converted
and identified himself with the people of
God. His trust in his Savior did not
forsake him in the last trying moment as
he was heard but short time before his
death humming the closing line of the
old hymn HE has washed my sins away"
The funeral services were held at the M.
E. church in Milton In the absence of
the pastor, Rev. w. T. Miller officiated.

The custom of persons not booked as
paying water takers of drawing water
from private hydrants and faucets, is
becoming too general and the Water
Works committee would respectfully call
the attention of those in the habit of SO
doing to Section 81 of the ordinance and
regulations governing the water works:
"Any consumer or consumers of water
from said water works who shall permit
others not members of his family or
families to use water from his or their
hydrant, faucet or other device, without
first being assured by the superintendent
that the proper water rent has been paid
for the use Of the same, and any one
who shall thus obtain water without a
permit from the superintendent, shall be
fined in the sum of not less than one or
more than ten dollars, and the water will
be Immediately shut off,

The Pirst to Name Him.

THE NEWS has the distinction OF
being the first paper in the state to
name Captain Frank w. Hunt for gov
ernor. The action Of the convention in
nominating him is an endorsement OF
which 1t is justly proud. Ifelected the
voters OF the state will never regret his
election and THE NEWS will never be
put to blush for naming him.
The NEWS was also the first paper in
the state to favor the nomination OF u.
s. Senator in the state convention, and
as this was done at the Pocatello con.
vention its course has been doubly en-
dorsed and it Is for those reasons doub-
ly proud. The nomination Of 80 pure a
man as Capt. Hunt will meet with gen
eral favor. and the nomination Of sepa-
tor will remove so many chickering's,
strife and contentious, that, before cleo
ton, it will be seen that the people will
most heartily endorse tie action Of the
convention and all will be we'll.
Blackfoot news. (Blackfoot, Idaho) 1891-1902, 1900-07-28
Populists In bingham County.

The News does not speak by au-
thority but it feels warranted In making
the prediction that the Populists OF
Bingham county will unite with the
Democrats and Silver Republicans in
naming county ticket. They favored
union before the Pocatello conven-
tions and a very large per cent favor IT
now.
Nothing that transpired at Pocatello
will prevent the Democrats from treat
Ing them with the fairness to which
they are entitled, and, 10 the event OF
union, they will be shown every con-
sideration promised before the action
OF their state convention at Pocatello,
They are with us on general principles
and should be with Us in the campaign.

Instructions to Legislators.

1t was oftentimes asserted in the cam
that no man would want to go to the
legislature with his hands tied by in
structions to vote for certain candi-
date for United States senator.
THE NEWS has always had more con-
fidence in its representative men than
that. The upright, honorable man
takes pride in carrying out the wishes
OF his constituents, 1t matters not
whether it be in electipg U. s. sena-
tor or getting an appropriation for an
institution of learning or Tor building
bridge.
II any aspiring man is so sensitive OF
his rights in this particular let him de-
cline to be candidate for the legisla-
ture. No convention will force the
nomination on him, polens, volens. Any
man wanting to serve bis constituents
acceptably will be glad to comply with
their instructions and no one will dis
pute the right they have to instruct for
U. s. Senator.
No man will make 1t an excuse for
not becoming candidate for the Iegis-
lature because the Pocatello conven-
ton nominated senator. II he should,
and that be all, it will be well for his
party to leave him off the ticket.
