EAST Lxnnen

A play that will live when many
more pretentious ones are forgotten,
will be seen at the opera house on
Wednesday evening, Sept. 25. AL
most everybody has read the story,
or seen the play produced by an
ordinary company, but never be-
fore have they had an opportunity
of seeing a specially selected COM
pany in production of this char
acter. Miss Blanche Stoddard who
plays the part of Lady Isabel, is
not only beautiful woman, but an
excellent actress, and other MEM
bers of the company are all players
OF well known ability. East Lynne
is a play that goes home to every
heart. Millions have seen the play
and many more millions will see it
again. Those who expect to see it
during the forthcoming engagement
will have to secure their seats early.
Reserved seats may be secured at
the drug store.

he and party had been engaged at
surveying a route for canals to con-

Prof. e. L. Stevens came down
from Bascom Monday and loaded
his teams with a large lot of sup
plies at Helfrich's store. Mr.. Ste
vens brings glowing accounts from
the new gold mines recently discov-
cred by Nelse Nelson and John Nc
Cabe on the Little Bear creek, near
Bascom ranch. They have about
B feet of high grade ore. and low
grade ore of good quality in abund-
ance. A wagon road is badly
needed from the South Boise to this
camp, and Mr.. Stevens thinks the
most feasible route would be UP
Willow creek. He is of the opinion
that if such a road is not built the
trade from these new diggings will
certainly go to Soldier and Haley
and it is advisable that our people
aid in its observation-disclosures
there is little doubt that the new
camp will be of considerable i'm
portance next season. Mr.. Stevens
reports having harvested splendid
potato and hay crops on his ranch
this season.

X. r. whitney Killed.

All good people of this town re,
member with almost affectionatt
feelings r. F. Whitney, who was a
partner of j. M. Cowen in furniture
business in this place, but who, two
years ago, departed for Alaska with
hope of lettering his financial con-
dltlon, and it will be with feelings
OF deep sorrow that they read of his
sudden death, which occurred at a
mining camp in Alaska, Sept. 4th,
an account Of which we give below.
taken from the Juneau Record
Miner of the 9th:
On Wednesday last Mr.. r. f.
Whitney was struck by a flying
rock from blast up in the basin at
the Perseverance, mining camp and
his skull crushed in, from which
he died in about three hours.
Mr.. Whitney was a single man,
about 3D. years of age. He came
first to Alaska nearly two years
ago, during which time he has, in
association with Mr. l.. N. Cole,
been doing prospecting at various
times and working at times at their
trade Of mill carpenters. Mr..
Whitney spent a number of years
In mining in the Black Hills, Mon
tana and was prominent mining
millright. From the Black Hills
he went to Mountain Home, in Ida
ho, where he was engaged for some
time in business. He became quite
prominent in public affairs, and at
one time was candidate for state
senator in Gilmore county. He was
prominent and active member of
the Odd Fellows and Knights of
Pythias lodges. He was a man of
character and influence wherever
he resided and always made friends.
1t is believed he has friends in
Oconomowac, Wisconsin, among
them his mother and a sister.
The circumstances of his death
are rather touching He had been
employed as carpenter to go up
to the camp and assist in erecting
the necessary buildings for the &C.
commodation OF the men at work
In the mine, and went up Wednes-
day to begin work and was engaged
In erecting building and had been
at work only about four hours.
Men were at work drilling and |
blasting about 60 yards from where
they were building the house. He
was siding up the building and had
the work up as high as his head on
The opposite side from the mine. A
miner reported they were about to
ire blast and to find protection.
Another party at work sought shell
5er, but Whitney seemed to think
The building would protect him and
stood close up to it. A rock struck
he siding opposite him, crushing
III the board and striking the side

ment
From time TO time we have had stud.
euts stay away from school without any
apparent reason. Upon inquiry how
ever we fud that some have been sent
but have played truaut while others for
Good reasons have remained at home
In order that we might prevent tru.
ancy we have asked for written excuses
from all who are either absent or tardy
These excuses have been cheerfully
written by most of the parents but few
have taken the position that the school
and home are in no ways associated. Ii
is TO these few to whom we would like
20 appeal We want you 10 do your
part in making the schools what they
should be.
We want you to help US in discourage
ing truanCy. We believe that excuses
for absences will reduce the number to a
minimum
Do not wait for the child to be sent
home for an excuse but write the teacher
a note before sending him back to
school Above all do not write him one
unless 1t was necessary for him To re-
main at home. Again do not send one
that IL too general like, "Please excuse
John and oblige," but state both the
time and the reason for his absence. In
doing this many unpleasant complica.
lions will be avoided.
Encourage the child 70 be punctual
and TO regularly attend school for if he
is TO be successful after he leaves he
must be business like while In school
Show him your interest and appreciation
of his work by visiting the school and
pan ticularly his room.
These few things upon your part will
make our work easier and the discipline
better and your efforts will be reflected
in the countenances of your children.
