HIGH WATER.
Unusual Rise in Weiser River Causes
Trouble.

4 About the middle of last week
there fell about a foot of snow in the
upper country and heavy rain i'm
mediately following causing the
Weiser river to swiftly rise to great
proportions. 1t became so swollen
that the water was nearly three feet
deep between the two wagon bridges
at Welser.
A culvert on the P. & |. N, was
washed out and the train had to re-
turn to Weiser until repairs were
made.
4 The freshet floated off the planks
of a brigde beyond Council and the
stage drove into the creek in The
dark, overturning into the muddy
rushing waters and nearly drowning
the four horses and the driver. The
mail tloated away but was recovered
the next day and arrived in Weiser
in a very damp condition.

SAYS WE'RE BOOMING.
The Way all Ohio Paper Tells what
it has Heard of Weiser Land.

Weiser, Idaho, is enjoying boom
as result of the construction of
the Seven Devils railroad and the
prospect that the Nevada, California
& Oregon also may extend its line to
that town. There are about $500
men in the city. 1t is simply impos-
IDLE to get sleeping accommodations
as all the hotels are filed. These
seem to be doing a Klondike bust
ness, and a number of brick build
lngs are being constructed in "New
Town" Many of the people are
living in tents until the buildings
shall be finished.
ltispredicted that Weiser will share
in the rush that will set in for easter n
Oregon next spring, and the boom
now started will rage more fiercelv.
While reaction always follows a
boom there are indications that point
toward Weiser becoming an important
city. 1t is in the center of splendid
agricultural and mining district The
railroad now being built has for its
objective point the famous Seven
Devils copper district, said to be the
most extensive of any in the world
Weiser will necessarily get consider
able of the benefit of the trade which
will flow from that region.
The new railroad company has
built fine depot at Weiser and is
operating trains for a distance of Al
miles out Every pay day about
2, 600 men are paid off in Weiser
and money is plentiful following such
occasions.
The other cities along the new line
are sharing in the general prosperity.
AT Nampa large sugar factory is
being erected Dresden (Ohio) Tran.

religious example to the American
children. The very law which founded
our common school system and estab
lished the school land grants provided
for the instruction in religion, letters
and good government. The discipline
of the school taught obedience, purity
of thought and purity of expression. At
this point some very pleasing and trite
remarks We're made as to the extreme
indulgence of American parents and its
bad effect upon American children
Americans, he said. were more indul-
gent with their children than all other
peoples excepting perhaps the Patago-
mans and Esa,timaux. From the time
the American child takes its seat at the
table with a spoon as scepter 1t rules

and when grown up 1t takes unto itself

With a result like that of tying a eat

lin divorce ard damnation. These re-
marks must have struck right home to
many grandmnthers in the audience.

A railway mail clerk on the Michigan

GONE years from an obstinate attack of
piles, brought on, my physicians told
me, by my occupation, the close conf1ne-

thought seriously of trying il. until one
