We wonder how many people who
get q chance to read daily papers,
notice each day the.list of soldier
dead cabled from the Philippines?
All those who do must be. appalled,
at the regularity of the appearances
of this list. Just think, every day
there comes this same record. ALI
these deaths occur among men who
have passed, within the past eighteen
months, a most. vigorous physical
examination, one which.any Of them
could get a life insurance policy on,
for their expectancy of life" would
be anywhere above a quarter of a
century Most of these deaths are
from disease contracted in the Phil
ippines. While!none ofBeal Lakes

expansion business is torbe kept up,
it WILL only be question OF, time

4 LESSON IN SUGAR.

Everyone, who uses fugar, andi
there are a few in Bear Lake who's
do, would like to get chance at
the trust that has recently torcedA
the price up to- the present high
notch. A month or SO ago, one
could gees IA or Is pounds of sugar
for 81 in Montpelier. We bought
some last Monday and we got II
pounds for one-plunker. 1t wasn't
because of any scaEcity anywhere.
Salt Lake has lots of sugar now,
and this years cropof beets are being {,
made into sugar as fast as refneries
can do it. Then what's the reason
for this rise? Here it is: The
American Sugar Refinery, which'is
trust oontrollinff nearly all the
refineries in the u. S., fixes the =
price Of sugar to suit itself and the
people nave to4pay it. BradstTeets :
says, this week, that it was contem-
plated that the sugar trust would
soon be paying - per cent divi-'
dends on1its common stock, which
il watered perhaps IS per cent? In
other words on the actual invest
ment Of money the people are now
paying about so per centdiyidends.
Is this robbery? If SO what is to
be done? Well, there is and has
been republican president and
republican congress in power in this
Union for three years, and they are
able, if they would, to burst this
/ gigantic monopoly, just as one
state, Texas, has done. Why have
MT they done 1t? Because the
trusts own and manage the republic
can party in congress and the peo-,
pie are made to suffer through it's
I hold. But there is one way the
people of Bear j. Lake can help, at
least, to kill this sugar trust and all.
other trusts, ana.that is by voting
for Bryan electors and Thos. L.
Glenn.
Why are the trusts all supporting
Mckinley Because he is their
friend Be as selfish as they, and
support Bryan because he is your
friend and the arch enemy of the
trusts.

THE JOURNAL. ANS WERS.,

tRs republicans should be elected
to fill the state offices in Idaho. !"
Well, the Boise Journal, Miss Per-
ryIs papers attempts to answer
Here are SEINE extracts from her
article:
The reason the republican presiden-
tial electors should,be electedis because
of the necessity of keeping Mr.. MoKin-
ley at the head of this government.
This is the sum total off, the rea-
sons she offers for the election of
the Mckinley electors. This argu-
ment is a knocker, indeed. On, Nov.
9th there WILDE about eight million
voters who will conclude that the
necessity" does not exist.
As to Mr.. Standrod her only rea-
sons are fulsome praise about his
ability, pure life, etc., every bityOf
which can be, with the same force,
applied to Capt. Frank Hunt, the
democratic nominee. In addition
Mr.. Hunt has these recommends
tions, Of which Mr.. Standrod can
not boast: He has been state
SENATOR, and therefore has an init
mate knowledge of state matters.
He has served his country in time
of war. He is plain, every day
citizen, andone wholly devoid of
any supcrauous aristocracy. Yes,
indeed, every claim that the Journal
makes for Judge Standrpd can be
honestly made for Capt. Hunt, and
the latter still has left some extra
reasons for being.. supported for
governor.
Asto the. legislature she says:
Why should the legislature Of Idaho
be republican, If there is onesreasol
for electing Mr.. Stanrod governor Their,
are twenty reasons why the legislator,

NEW ZEALAND LEADS. Z
1t II the First of Great Brftafn'1 Col.
Onfes to Grant Female
Suffrage.

New Zealand las been the first of her
majesty's colonies to grant to women
the right to vote. The bill for female
suffrage passed one house in 1892, but
made no further progress. In 1893,
however, it passed both houses and re-
ceived the royal assent in September Of
the same year. Since this time it has
not been lone man one vote" but zone
person one vote" The qualifications
for electors-applicab,e to whites and
Maories alike-are a residence of ct
least one year in the colony and three
months in the district, or the posses
sion of freehold property worth e rs.
OF this experiment much has been said
on both sides, but neither it's opposers
nor most ardent advocates can as yet
speak auth orr ia lively as t. the fina re-
suit, says the Philadelphia Times.
Lady Stout, than whom no more en-
thusiastic suffragist exists, said: "The
women here were not prepared for it,
To this Sir Roberts adds: cit may take

of our various experiments" while Mr.
Lloyd sums up the situation: New

HISTORIC PAPER IN ILLINOIS.
A Regimental Discharge Bearing
Signature OF George Washing

w. HI. Green, of Mount Vernon, ILL.,,
has in his possession an autograph
order and letter issued by Gen. Wash
ington in 1777, discharging Morris
famous light horse cavalry and COM
mending the work done by them. 1t
reads as follows:
'The Philadelphia troop of light

Morris, having performed their tour
of duty, are discharged for the pres

II take this opportunity of return
ing my sincere thanks to the captain
and to the gentlemen who composed
the troop for the many essential serv-
ices which they have rendered to
their country, and to me personally,
during the course of this severe cam
paign.
Though composed of gentlemen of
fortune, they have shown a noble ex-
ample of discipline and subordination,
and in several actions have shown
spirit of bravery which will ever do
honor to them, and will ever be CRATE

This order, says an exchange, is
written on parchment paper used in
early colonial days, and, though vel
low with age, is well preserved and
perfectly legible. It was found a few
days ago by Mrs. Rebecca Galbraith,
of Shiloh township, while hunting
through some old papers which were
once the property of her grandfather,
Virginian, who lived during the revo-
lutionary period, and who, it is
thought. was a member Of the light
horse troop SO warmly commended by

A HORSES STRANGE DIET.
When Fodder Gave Out in Ladysmtth
She Ate the Stumn4 OF
Mattress.

An amusing and al the same time pa
thetic story is told of a horse that sur
vived the terrible siege at Ladysmith.
This particular mare was great favor
tie with her master. and the first three
weeks Of the siege Jared not so badly
considering the peculiar circum-
stances; but, alas. Mary's master was
called away, as an engineer, to erect
a bridge, and during his absence from
home his valued friend was stolen.
Five sad weeks passed, and he be-
gan to think she must have fallen into
the hands Of the Beers. However, on
reaching home one evening there she
was waiting outside her stable. thin
and tired, but delighted to be home
again, little dreaming what anxious
times were still ii store for her.
One faiteful day the authorities gave
orders that no more .'mealies" must
be given to the stock. Fodder was COM
mandeered for the military horses and
the day broke at last when there was
absolutely not mouthful for poor
Mary. Her master arose that morning
sad and perpNexed for her breakfast.
But he suddenly remembered that bis
wife had made new straw mattress and
two pillows just before the siege be-
gan. No sooner said than done. The
latter were ripped open and Mary had
her novel breakfast Later on the bed
met with the same fate. and they saved
Mary's life, or probably '+Chevreuil''
would have been her end. She is now
we'll and lively.

against profit at the end Of 1898 of S.

Perhaps there was an expectation of some
announcement OF the future policy OF the
company, which would to some extent
explain the extraordinary fluctuations Of
the common stock during the last six
months.
Goth Southern Railway common and pre-
fstred were more active and stronger than

railroad are excellent and the property Of
the company has no doubt heen consider
ably enhanced by the material apprecia-
tion IN the price OF cotton. The general
expectation is that the London market
will be strong tomorrow. owing to the
