Price of Wheat.

The administrator has been max
ing a good many cracks in his
newspaper of late about the present
price of wheat, as compared with
1896. 1t may be of interest to turn
to the governments official Stats
tical Abstract and note what the
price of wheat was during the four
years of Grover Cleveland and the
four years under William McKin-
ley. Taking New York prices as a
basis, we have the following average
price per bushel:
The Kootenai herald. [volume] (Kootenai, Idaho) 1891-1904, 1901-11-15

ton OF these facts is difficult of
comprehension. We suggest that
the administrator drop the subject,
and go back to his favorite theme
booming New Zealand as having a
better form of government than his
own, or better ,still-emigrate
there himself.

CLEVELAND PRICES.

The average price unoer four
years of Democratic rule was 20
cents per bushel.
The average price under four
years of Republican rule was 80
cents.
We have not the official statistics
at hand for 1900, but take the price
in New York as quoted for Monday
of this week, in the Spokesman
Review, as a sample of 1901 prices,
which is SO cents.

This is correct TO the best of my knowledge.
We should presume from the
above that the Populist member of
the former board acknowledges that
he over-drew his salary account to
the extent of $30S.95, and it is
the refund of this amount that the
proceedings of the commissioners
probably refer to when it is stated
that the proposition Of l.. 7. Ditto
more was rejected, County Attor-
ney Graham claims that Mr.. Ditto
more owes the county $1057 .55.
The admission of Mr.. Dittemore
falls with a sicklv thud. 1t recalls
the stump speeches (?) of a certain
Fusionist who declared that the
Republican press had not made a
single point showing either incom-
petence, extravaganza or misman-
agement on the pert of the Fusion
lists. In other words the Fusion
windjammers endorsed everything
that the then board of commission
ers did, although this matter of
commissioners salary was one OF
the very things urged by the Re-
publican press against the Fusion
lists.
But it is different now since
County Attorney Graham has cut
off some of TIE graft, and probably
that's why a certain Fusionist don't
like the county attorney, and is try
ing to undermine him and wants
him read cut of the Democratic
Dartr.

The Hard Luck Story Of "Cush" Includes
Everything But Smallpox.
Friends in Lsngdon will learn with
sorrow that their former townsman,
Walter F. Gushing, whe years ago edited
tho Republican is having more than his
share Of hard luck just at present. He is
living in Fargo and speaking OF the
matter the Forum says:
"Cush" begins to think the Lord loves
him heap or else has it in for MIN in
good shape. His little boy had no sooner
gotten over the scarlet fever than his
two little daughters caught it and are
now in bed. To add to the joys of the
situation his wife is sick in bed and his
mother unable to more than creep
around with sudden spell Of weakness.
"Cush' says that the only sickness
that has not visi ted his family in the last
year is smallpox, and he is betting
dollars to doughnuts that's on the list Of
Christmes glfts-that he don't want.

Few Thousand Dollars.
A freight train going north to Hannah
this week got stalled on the hill between
Edinburg and Milton, and farmer liv-
ing near, knowing that the passenger was
due from the north IN about an hour, got
excited and aroused the whole neighbor-
hood. There are trees on both sides of
the track about q mile from where the
tram was stalled, and the farmer strung
streamers across the track and tied big
Bohemian efigy in the centre to attr act
the attention Of the engineer. He lost no
time in gong furthsr up the track and
stationed two boys on the big bridge with
red handkerchief and warned them to
wave with all their might. After short
time the engine ON the freight gained
strength enougb!to pull the train up the
hill, and the farmer swore at his hard
luck. The freight managed to get in the
clear before the passenger arrived, but
there was no danger in any event. The

THE OLD YEAR.

The old year has been fairly agree
able one for the world at large. In the
United States there has been no abate-
ment of progress and the outlook for
the success OF the expansion policy has
improved. But for the one great trag-
coy which struck down President Nc.
kipley the American nation would be
able TO look back upon the events of the
first year Of the new century with COM
plete satisfaction.
Europe has had no wars within it's
borders, and It's people have not sur
fered any extraordinary peril or ca
lamity.
The year has brought peace In South
Africa appreciablv nearer. Other parts
of the Dark Continent have remained
quiet and prosperous.
China, through much tribulation. has
entered upon career of political and
commercial development
Here at home the great general inter-
ests OF the people have suffered no dis
aster, though times have been some
what less prosperous owing mainly to
the absorption of our customs and pos
tai revenues by the United States and
to the unfortunate policy of the Legis-
lature.

Deputy Sheriff Chlliingworth stated
he had asked time and time again to
have such an officer appointed.
Mr.. De Cew pronounced the switch
used IN McInernys sto Unsafe, unless
people were educated TO its use and
made acquainted with the danger of
touching the metal parts.
Expert electricians also testified at the
afternoon session. The purport OF the
evidence OF II. A. Allen. electrical engi-
neer, representing the Fraser-Chalmers
fee, Of the Gamewel Fire Alarm Sys-
tom Company; +. j. Cross. of the Wire
less Telegraph Company, and Superin-
tandent Hudson Of the Hawaiian Electric
Company, was to the effect that the
switch used in the McInerny store was
such as are in general use all over the
United States; that the metal parts.
when closed against the poles of the
current are alive with electricity and
give off a shock to any touching It; that
conditions were favorable for An Far
receiving a shock from the position in
which he was standing. and that 1t was
electric current and not volts that killed
the young man.
Yesterday afternoons proceedings were
conducted by Deputy Sheriff Chilling
worth. DIR. Charles b. Cooper was on
the stand and testified as to the results
of the postmortem examination. He said
the cause of death was due to an cleo
trio shock. The postmortem revealed
that the young man was in poor health (:
he was underweight for his size, some
what emaciated: the lungs were found to
be fairly normal, except some conges.
ton in the right apex; the heart was
pale, small, contracted. and was weak;
kidneys were normal, liver slightly en-
larged. Some of the glands were tuber-
culOus. DIR. Cooper thought a small
voltage sufficient In this case to have
caused the boys death. The physical
condition of All Fai had much to do with
the shock being fatal. 1t was evident
that severe shock had been produced.
The burn spoke of as being on the tip
of the boys finger was evidently where
wart had been burned off.
/ Messrs Cross, Allen, Coffee. McInerny
and T. Quon Yee also testified.

Unless the Young and Bishop estate
