Governor Standrod.

If the people of Idaho exercise
wise judgement next Tuesday, it
will be Governor Standrod." The
people know they can trust Stand
rod. They do not know so much
about his opponent. They know
that Ed Boyce, the arch agitator
and mischief maker, does not desire
the election of Mr.. Standrod. That
ought to induce all Others to vote
for Standrod.

The Fusion Jugglers.

Rathdrum Republican,:
All of the juggling with figures which
the fusionists can do will not refute
these convincing facts:
The railroad corporations who paid
S48ooSo4 taxes on their property in this
county in 1896, the last year of republic
can control, will this year pay only $42,-
54I.o4, and yet the total revenue collect
ed from the people this year will be
many thousands of dollars more than
was ever before collected in this county
With larger amount of revenue at
their command than ever before collect
ed in the history of Kootenai county, and
with practically no court expenses to
pay, the fusionists created debt of $I3,-
65S.45 during the first year of their mis-
rule.
Is it not remarkable that the fusion
press of this county, while devoting col
umns to a vain endeavor to claim credit
on account of lower tax levy, should
overlook such an important item as a
raise of $2S4 600 80 on the assessed valu-
alton of patented lands, common cattle
and sheep, ordered by the fusion state
board of equalization? Mr. Taxpayer,
is not that sufficient proof that they are
attempting to withhold the truth from
you:

work for the Republican ticket.
THAT was Il great Republican
meeting at Rathdrum last Monday.
The numbers and enthusiasm fairly
paralyzed the Court House Ring.
The sound oratory of Borab, Heit-

terror into the Fusion camp.

BORAH'S GREAT SPEECH.

Hon. w e. Borah of Boise adj
dressed large audience here last
Tuesday evening, and delivered as
able address as was ever listened to
by anyone in the audience.
Judge Borah was the silver re-
publican candidate for congress in
1896, and supported Bryan for
president This year he is for Nc
Kinley and made the most elo-
quent, logical and convincing argu-
ment for the reelection of the Re-
publican candidate for president.
One of the features Of his speech
was to take up the position of the
silver republicans, analyze the sub
ject and show the absurdity of sill
yer republi cans supporting democ-
racy
Mr.. Borah made a fine impress
ion. His eulogy of Abraham Lin
coin was grand. He succeeded in
stirring the Republicans up to a
high degree of enthusiasm. The
meeting was a great success in every
particular.

Two Masked Men DO the Job In Col
oradO.

OrauO.
Salina, Kan, Aug. IA Onion Pa
ciic east-bound passenger train was
held UP by two men several miles west
of Hugo, Colo, ninety miles this side
of Denver. The passengers in the
Pullman sieepers were robbed of their
money and valuables. An old man
named Fay, a resident of California.
who had been visiting in Denver and
was on Ills way to ST. Louis, refused to
surrender his valuables and fired a
shot at one of the robbers, but missed.
Thereupon the robbers fired, one shot
entering Fay's mouth and coming out
at the back of his head. killing him
almost instantly. The robbers stopped
the train,
Jumped OF and Escaped.
The robbers got on to one OF the
sleepers near Limon, and after the
train had started the men made a
noise at the door. The conductor.
thinking they were tramps, opened the
door to put them off. The robbers,
who were masked, pointed a pistol at
his head n ordered hi INTO lead the
way through the coaches. All of the
passengers were asleep and the con-
ductor was ordered to wake them, n
at a time. The frightened passengers
were told to keep quiet or they would
be killed, and at the same time were
asked to hand over their money and
v~aluables. The robbers obtained
about 500 in cash and a number OF
gold watches and other pieces of jew
elry. The robbery o place a few
minutes before l o'clock yesterday
morning. The body of Fay,
Who Was Killed,
vas taken off at Hugo and shipped to
Denver. He was sixty-eight years old
and a prominent Odd Fellow of Cali
fornia. The conductor, who was COM
PEELED to hold a bag while the robbers
relieved the passengers, lost his watch
and asked that it be returned to him
In order that he might run his train
on time. The robbers gave it back.
After r%arsacking the two coaches the
men mace the conductor pull the bell
cord, but the train was going so rap
idly that the robbers were taken to
Hugo before it slowed up enough to
enable them to jump. They compelled
the conductor to get off ahead of them
SO that if any of the passengers
Had Been in waiting
they would have shot him first. After
h robbers had ~dismounted they or
dered the conductor to return to his
train. Miss Shaw of Denver. a pas
senger on the train, states that when
the men entered the ears every one
was asleep, and very few knew any
thing of what was going on until they
were awakened by the robbers. When
the men came TO her berth a pistol
vas pointed at her face and she was
told to be quiet and had over her val
uables. With great presence of mind
she opened her pocketbook, letting a
number of bills fall out, and then
handed the purse, containing some
silver, TO the robbers. She also man
aged to saw her watch, which was
pinned TO her dress, by placing her
arm over ii.
