Yesterdays election was a surprise to
Republicans even. Only one Democrat
was elected to the city council, and
Brakeman, the fusionist, is elected by
only thirty-three votes over Gus Miller,
the Republican candidate in the Sixth
ward. Al. Kline. foreman of the Western
Planning mill, is the only Democrat elect
ed to the board of education, and his
majority is only %. There was no oppos-
ing candidate to Charles Davidson in the
Fourth ward. CasweH, the Republican
candidate, succeeds Mr.. IIerbig, a Demo-
crat for the First ward by forty-seven
votes. In the Third ward Fred Van Duyn
the Republican candidate. succeeds j.
Giles Smith, a Democrat, beating Col.
H L. Taylor 10y the good majority Of
afty-cight votes This with the light
number registered, is a very emphatic
victory and is an eye-opener for fusion
ssts as to what is coming next fall.
Upon the returns Of last spring, consid-
ering the light registration and as near
as can be figured, yesterdays vote was a
gain Of mere than 10 per cent for the Re
pubiicans

On election was in progress. Nobody

few rigs were seen taking voters to the
Ballot boxes. RepUblicanism is in the

decisIveness of yesterdays victory was
the number of good men on the ticket.
The Fifth ward, a fusion stronghold,
stampeded to swell the Republican ma
jority. It was a. clean, emphatic Repub-
lican victory on the merits Of the candi-
dates and the general trnd Of public
opinion in the light Of national and local
events Of the last year.
It was a clean campaign where there
was any campaign made at all, and the
result was more than gratifying to Re
publcans.

by the food in that section at $a day.
On Monday they were told that wages
would be only 81 so, with a 5o-cent
charge for hospital fees.
1aborers returned to the city Monday
night with this grievance, and they state
that perhaps $50 men walked ont that
morning. The claim Of bad faith Of the
agents Of the road which induced men to
20 to the ground upon false pretepse
caused great indignation. The returned
laborers believe the railroad company
planned to attract large numbers Of men
to the camps in the hope that enough
would be compelled to remain and work
at reduced rates to complete the work

The Sale Of Cavalry Horses.

1t had been extensively advertised that
Capt. Wainwright on the part Of the
government would purchase a large
number of horses in Lewiston this week
and horsemen from far aud near assembled
here accordingly. At the last moment
the news was given out that only two
carloads of horses would be received at
this place.
As matter Of fact only IS head were
purchased. 1t is estimated that $50 horses
care from all over the country and
from every direction some OF them from
a distance OF over 100 miles. The dis
appointment and expense occasioned is
to be regretted
1t is not reported that the demand OF
the government has been supplied.
Some red tape arrangement made il
requisite that only this limited number
be purchased at this time in Lewiston.
A very fair collection of horses was of
fered OH this occasion Very few OF
those examined were rejected under the
rigid rules of the governmet.

Morris Hall.

Last Thursday Miss Bloom and the
girls of the dormitory gave dinner
Mr.. and Mrs. B. F. Morris were the
guests of honor. Covers were laid for
twelve and the table looked very pretty
with its decorations OF smilax and carna-
tions.
While those present were lingering
over the last course Miss Ida Wilson in
a happy strain voiced the wish Of the
members of the dormitory in announcing
the desire to give to their new home the
name of Morris Hall. In his reply Mr..
Morris gave brief.sk etc1i of the history
of the Normal school and the dormitories
making mention of the different ones
who had devoted so much time and work
to the furtherance # the institution and
for this reason, although he was proud o.
the honor, he felt it was not justly due
him. Miss Bloom responded to these
remarks saying that while they were
grateful and appreciated all that had
been done for the school they felt that
the work of Mr.. Reid and Mr.. Morris
had effected them more directly and
since the boys had expressed the in
tention of calling their dormitory Reid
Hall the girls were anxious to have their
home known as Morris Hall.
After this all adjourned to the reception
room where a social hour was spent. II
departing the guests wished the members
Of the newly christened hall much sue
cess and happiness for the future.

Canal TO Be Built.

A Washington dispatch says: England
the Nicaraguan caral proposition un.
friendly and advances the Clayton-B -Bulwer
treaty, although it is said by member OF
the foreign relations committee that an
understanding exists between the United
States and Great Britain under which
this government can proceed with the
construction of the Nicaragua canal with
out reference to the provisions Of the
Clayton -Bulwer treaty. There is no doubt
that since the negotiations for the abro-
cation of the Clayton-Bulwer treaty
failed, and since the agitation Of the con-
struction of the canal has been taken up
by congress, that discussion has occurred
between the two governments, and it is
understood that Great Britain has given
this country assurances that it will not
let the convention of 1880 stand in the
way of action.
1t had been known for some time that
Great Britain was willing to abrogate the
convention on condition that she be
granted concessions in the Alaskan boun-
Diary controversy, and it is possible, II
she has made the statement credited to
her, she has coupled it with the under.
standing that her rights elsewhere will
receive consideration in return for her
concession, Representative Sulzer has
prepared all amendment to the Nicaragua
canal bill requiring that American labor
be employed in connection with the con
struction of the canal.

Ready to DiSband.

The Fremont county republican and
silver republican county committees met
last week at Rexberg. Each convention
appointed a conference committee of five.
These conference committees held a
session and agreed to report to the meet
ing on the 9th, with the approval of the
republican committee, a recommenda-
ton that all the members of the silver
republican committee to become MEM
bers of the republican committee, thus
doubling the latter. Ifthis recommends
ton Is adopted by the meeting the sill
yer republican organization will then
pass out of existence and be merged into
the republican organization.
This is the plan for reuniting the par
ty, and Mr.. Patrie says it will be carried
through without opposition.
Mr.. Patrie further says there is not {
silver republican left in Fremont count,
NOT one who desires to c-,i ::1ue a
such. The only suggestion of c. tior
to the plan of immediate reunion will

Geological Survey Of Idaho.

The Sixth Annual report of the L. S,
Geological Survey, which is being sent
out from Washington now, contains the
following reference to Idaho:
Idaho is considered one of the best
wooded states of the arid region, its mar
row northern end being covered to a
large extent with forests and woodlands.
The broad southern part, however, ex-
tends over lava plains bordering Snake
river and is destitute of the large vege-
tation, the most conspicuous plant being
the so-called sagebrush. which grows on
this rich soil often to extraordinary size.
The water supply of the state is large,
but, unfortunately, only part can be
utilized to advantage, as the most i'm.
portant river-the Snake--soon after
leaving the mountain cuts for itself a
deep canyon in the lava, and by cascades
and rapids falls to the depth of hundreds
or thousands of feet below the plains.
The vacant land of the state--over 75,-
600 square miles-forms nearly nine
tenths of the total area. The great mass
of it, untouched by settlement, lies in
the almost nnexplored mountain masses
of the central and northeastern parts of
the state. On the great lava plains of
the Snake, also. are many miles of vacant
land, the soil, though fertile, being too
dry to attract the pioneer Along the
northwestern edge, adjacent to eastern
Washington, the cultivation of cereals
by dry farming is successful; and in the
valleys of the Weiser, Payette and Boise
many irrigating systems have been con-
structed carrying water to farms on the
benches and lowlands There is still a
surplus of supply, and the area thus cul-
tivated can be extended, although it is
probable that the lands now in private
ownership will demand all of the water
easily obtainable

Following is an extract from an inter.

"The east" the governor continued,
referring to the case of Roberts, of Utah,
"n.isunderstands Mormonism. Nor
monism has as much right to live as

An Unmarked Grave.

On the Wenatche, away up on the Blue
mountains, there is tumbled down cabin.
Near by is caved-in grave. pioneer,
Cad Hopwood, lies in that neglected
sepulcher.
When Jerry Mcguire had thousand
horses on the range in the '7os Cad Hop
wood was the trusted herder and range
| rider. In the winter of so Jerry Mcguire
moved his horses to the south side OF
Salmon river and gave Cad $50 month
to keep them on this range.
That winter was unusually severe.
Cad was great hunter and trapper. He
had found herding horses such easy work
in the past that he became indolent. He
spent his time trapping and hunting on
the Wenatche, while the horses scattered
at will. The bewildered beasts strayed
from the range and tried to return to
Asotin. They wandered into the high
regions and were caught in the snow, and
they nearly all perished. Cad took the
matter to heart. He had permitted 4oo
horses to starve to death. He thereafter
took up his abode in the mountains, liv.
ing alone, miles from the home of any
other white man. He had for a friend
only faithful horse.
One summer day an Indian found Cad
Hopwood dead in his lonely cabin. He
had died of hemorrhage, and the CHASTITY
sight scared the Indian till he fed from
the lonely spot never to return. He in
| formed the Dill brothers of AsoIin creek
and they made the journey into tn,
mountains to inter the body. There tn,
body of the man who had caused tn,
death of hundreds of horses was found
surrounded by their bones, and guarded
only by his old saddle horse. The prem
ises were bespattered by his lifeblood
which he had struggled desperately t.
stay The Dleached bones of the starve'
horses were the monument of his neglec
of duty. A monument of bleached bone
would be fitting one to mark his grave

or to Fremont.

State Auditor Sinclair and Imfnigra-
tion Commissioner Bassett left Yesterday
afternoon for Fremont county where
they hasten to make an effort to prevent
the disbanding of the silver republican
party in that county. They will probably
stop at Blackfoot for conference with
ex-senator Dubois and then proceed to
the scene of action to rally the cohorts
The recent news from that county has
been very disquieting to the silver re-
publican leaders. They have been try
ing to make themselves believe that
there is silver republican party left and
they have been particularly confident
that it would hold together in the south
east. Consequently the news that ar
rangements had been perfected to dis
band in Fremont has caused serious con-
cern, coming, as il did, upon the earlier
news that there were not enough silver
republicans left in Bannock to get up a
meeting. In the latter county those who
composed the party are no longer willing
to claim membership even for the pur-
pose Of disbandiug it.
1t falls to the lot of those who are
holding Office to do the work in attempt
ing to hold the organization in line, as
there are no others who will undertake
it; SO Messrs. Bassett and Sinclair have
fastened off to Fremont to check the
tide there II possible. II is feared that
the action proposed there would be fol-.
lowed by formal disbanding III other
counties. Therefore determined effort
is to be made to prevent the contemplated
| ction.--Statesman.

THE SOUTH AFRICAN WAR
The Britishers In a Condition that
IS Generally
DEPLORED IN GREAT BRITAIN.
All England Is Now CIamoring tor More
Troops-A Rigid Censorship
Is Enforced
DEPLORED IN GREAT BRITAIN.

For some days up to Thursday the Eng.
iish forces seemed to be gaining advant-
ages over the Beers. The London
dispatches gave many expressions OF
rejoicing, and the people of Great Britain
were very enthusiastic over the prospect
OF victory and the early subjugation of
the Afrikanders. The British forces were
said to have gained commanding posi-
ton when they occupied Spionkop, but
1t develops now that Spionkop was trap
laid with deliberation and it was sprung
by General Warren. The latest report is
that he is fighting desperately to escape
from Spionkop, which he was credited
with entering il the night by a strategic
movement that promised for time to
make him the hero of the day.
General Butler sent shudder through
out England by telegraphing Thursday
night to the home Office as follows:
"Warren's garrison, am sorry to say,
find this morning had in the night
abandoned Spionkop."
General Butler sent a message, "The
men are splendid" that thrilled all Eng
land with patriotic fervor. If it had
been followed up with a general tri.
umph of arms this message would
| have become watchword of historic sig.
ni6cance. The enthusiasm, however
that gave it wings has been smothered by
the short dispatch stating that General
Warren had abandoned Spionkop.
All England is now clamoring fol-
more troops.
A rigid censorship is enforced by the
English authorities, so that details OF the
war are not obtainable. A sense of fail
ure however pervades all England, partly
because the news received is discouragine
and because full details are not published

The report that the meeting at Rex

foundation, that gentleman states. There
