A Rank Injustice.

On Monday the l. N. & G Stage
Co. We're ordered by the postal
authorities to receive and deliver
the Camas Prairie mail at Stuart
instead of Sites. No reason was
given for the change and it looks
like the work of some politician OF
town site boomer.
The inconvenience of such q
move to the people of Grangeville
can be readily seen for as soon az
the rains set in it will be i'm.
possible for the mail to reach here
in time for evening distribution
and letters requiring immediate
answers cannot be received until
after the stage has left the next
morning. thus delaying important
mail fully "a hours. The situation
has undoubtedly been misrepre-
sented to the authorities in Wash
ington as there could be no reason

company to travel the distance
between these towns over the

Legislative Matters.

Hon. A. w. Moore came up
from Boise Monday on a short
leave of absence to look after some
important matters in connection
with his mining interests in this
county.
Mr.. Moore says the Salmon river
wagon road bill will pass the sem
ate without opposition. The road
will extend from Higgins ferry to
Goff's ferry, where it crosses the
Salmon, thence along the east side
of that stream to the mouth of
Little Salmon and up that stream
by way of Pollock to the Meadows.
The Clearwater county bill is
dead and the bill introduced to
create two new judicial districts in
south idaho and none in the north
Mr.. Moore believes will be defeated
when new bill creating one in
the north and one in the south will
be introduced and passed. He
says the new apportionment bill
will pass by a strict party vote.
The Davis bill to repeal the
anti gambling law is dead, but a
substitute providing for local
option may pass after hard
fight.
"The railroad bill introduced to
restrict railroad freights, passenger
fares, ETC., even before the rail
roads get into the state, will never
become law" said Mr.. Moore.
He explained that a majority oi
the legislature had IA proper appre-
citation of the reasonable induce
ments and protection that should
be afforded to capital and that all
vicious legislation would be killed.
THE legislature is composed of a
liberal body of men, whose desire
is to promote the interest of the
people and the prosperity of the
state by sound, conservative,
needed legislation. All the public
institutions will receive such aid
from the legislature as will enable
them to extend and grow as the
steady advancement Of the STATE
| demands.''

Besides he availed himself of read
ing religious instructions. During
those days his mind was in good
condition. His mother confirmed
his statement of his having been
baptized as child by q Catholic
priest. These items, Rev. Father,

prepared himself during his last
illness to meet his Judge.

He Was a Catholic,

Numerous conflicting reports
having been circulated concerning
the religious convictions of Ed.
Beck who died in the Providence
hospital at Wallace we publish the
following statement at the request
of Rev. Father Mueller:
WALLACE, IDAHO, Jan. 90, 1901.
REV. l.. MUELLER,
CoTToNwooD, IDA,
Rev. FATHER: Mr.. Ed. Beck
was brought to the hospital on
Dec. 25, and remained until his
death Jan. 9th. At the time OF
his arrival, he seemed to be un-
conscious, but ina short time, his
mental condition improved so as to
enable him to answer questions
proposed. After a few days, his
condition was such that the phy-
sician had hopes that he would
recover. This state lasted until
about three days before his death,
when increasing pain seemed to
impair ut times his mental facul-
ties. He could not speak, but he
answered by signs questions that
were asked him. The attending
sister asked him whether he had
been baptized, whereupon he
answered, yes, and was a catholic
When asked if he desired to see a
priest he again answered yes.

Goode Proven a Liar.

In the last issue of the Standard
AN insolvent sheet issued by
Geo. W. Goode and kept in exist
ence by the Lewiston land office
there appeared the following:
Auditor Talkington received code
Tor distribution amongst the LAWYERS
that they might be examined and cr,ti
cised by the members Of the bar. Up
to the present writing we have no con.
ception of how the gentleman has
obeyed the law. but we do know that no
republican lawyer in the county has
been favored with a copy, although
they have repeatedly made requests for
the SAME.
Those knowing Goode are not at
all surprised at this malicious
falsehood, but for fear that some
not well informed in the matter
might believe it, we publish the
statement of two leading republican
lawyers of this city:

About one month ago Auditor Talk
iugton gave the undersigned copy Of
'uS SouC, oiti VIC IcqucStcu ulul 10 0Ol0
the same at his Office until we called for
them; il we did not take them into our
possession at once it was our fault and
not Auditor Talkington's.
L. II. BARTLETT,
JAS. DRHAvEN
Attorney Dan Worth, secretary
OF the republican central commit
tee, also received q copy of the
code and would have no doubt
signed the above statement had he
not been at Boise at this time.
This proves conclusively that
Auditor Talkington has done his
full duty in the distribution Of the
codes as in all other matters per-
tanning to his Office, and it is to
be regretted that he must be sub
jected TO the abuse of man that
aas neither the moral nor intellect
ual attributes OF good citizen,
let alone a lawyer, and whose time
has been spent, during his resi-
dence in Grangeville, in dodging
his creditors and traducing honored
citizens.

1t is rumored in grading circles that
the contract for the new line of the
Union Pacific between Cheyenne and
Carr station has been let. The amount
Of the contract is 81, 900, 900, and the
lucky bidder is the firm Of Fitzpatrick

off work on Sherman hill. The new
line will be run for the purpose of elm

AS stated some time ago, the line will
leave Cheyenne from the west, and
branch of from the main line near Cor
lett, the junction point with the old
Colorado and Southern branch, which
formerly ran into the city, joining the
present line between Cheyenne and
Denver at a point just beyond Car sta

WRECK
AND OTHER TROUBLES DELAY
TRAINS ON THE UNION
PACIFIC.
Freight Slows Up Too Soon and an Elk.
ira Runs Into lt-Caboose Burned
Burnt Bridge on the Denver Pa.
cific-Passengers Transferred But
the Mails Delayed.

The train schedule on the Union Pa
cific was much disturbed last night. A
small freight wreck a few miles west
of Laramie and a burnt bridge on the
Denver Pacific combined to delay
trains and to mix things up.
The wreck was not a bad one, though
from the looks of it it appeared to be.
A freight, with Engineer E. F. West of
the middle district in the cab, came
slowly into Laramie and West, not be-
ing familiar with the switches thought
he was coming into the yards when in
fact he was not. An extra freight
crashed into the rear of the train. The
caboose of the first freight was over.
turned and the stove was upset. The
car took fire and was consumed, de
spite the efforts of the crew to extin,
guish the flames. From the burning
caboose a car of coal took fire and the
flames gave the appearance of a bad
wreck. The damage to the engine that
ran into the caboose was slight.
The trouble on the Denver Pacific
was caused by a burnt-out bridge
few miles south Of Greeley. The even
ing train out of Denver was warned o.
the danger, as was the south-bound
train. Passengers were transferred
and taken to their destination, but nc
mail was carried by the returning
train. The evening Denver papers ar
rived in Laramie on No. 5 this after
noon.

The optician treats visual defects that

The engineer misunderstood the signals
and there was frightful railroad coils
ion, with terrible loss of life. The whole
country was appalled, by that accident.
There is doubtless a far greater loss of
life occurring every day. in various se.-
tions of the country, for which the only
excuse is,-" the doctor didn't under
stand the symptoms" These cases are
not the subjects of special inquest or the
country would be aghast at the sacrifice
of life to ignorance.

Pierce and his staff of assistant physi-
clans, that ninety eight out of every

FARMERS DAUGHTER.
Saves a Train Load Of Passengers from

Salem, Ind, May 16.-A girl who
knew how to use telephone and knew
also a boy with a bicycle saved a train
from being wrecked and its hundred
or more passengers from probable

farmers daughter, living midway be-

was the Mcnon passenger from Chica

Section men had been burning old
ties and other debris on the right of
way, and the fire in some way had de-
stroyed a small bridge over Tivulet
near Miss Emory's home. On discov-
ering the danger to the train that she
knew would pass over it in q very
short time, she telcphoned at once to
OXonia, the last station between the
burning bridge and danger.
She also sent a neighbours boy on q
| bicycle to Salem with instructions to
tell the agent at that place of the
danger the train was in, so that he
might flash the news to other stations,
and if possible, stop the train. Flag
