ReinCarnAtiOn.

The doctrine of reincarnation, along
with Karma and other oriental hy-
potheses relating to the spiritual life, has
attracted much attention in the Occident
Of late years and, as now appears, it has
even become a subject of discussion
among the Dutch Jews. The Bombay
Guardian gives dialogue on 'trans-
migration" of souls between two gentle
men Of this nationality. AS the doctrine
is often found to be difficult one for
Western comprehension, we give the
Guardians report of the conversation,
which has the merit of being at least a
clear statement

agents, who take them onto unsurveyed
timber lands, charging good, round fee
for locating them on unoccupied lands.
The victim is told all about the proper
proceduer in squatting, and that if they
settle on the land it will easily be theirs

THE LIBRARIES OF IDAHO
Great Showing for Young state-Keep tn
Ball Rolling.

Ball Rolling.
The Office of the state free library COM
mission is in receipt of the advance sheets
on the library statistics of the United
States from the bureau of education at
Washington. They contain some very
interesting facts regarding the growth of
the library sentiment in the country.
Particularly are the Idaho facts shown of
great interest here. They make good
showing for SO young state.
There were in the United States at the
time that the statistics we're gathered last
year, $3.50 libraries in operation with a
total number of looks of over "A, 500 900
volumes. This does not include any IL
braries with less than a thousand vol
umes.
Idaho has nine libraries above the
thousand limit, embracing 32,S56 vol
umes. This is an increase Of four IL
braries aud eS33 volumes since the re-
port of the year before.
OF these nine libraries, three are To-
Gated in this city. These are the public
library, the high school library and the
state law library. The latter is easily
the largest library in the state, having
over $4,000 volumes, while the next
highest, the university library at Moscow,
has only 5000. The others fall below
the 5000 mark. The state library is also
the Oldest library in the state. having
been established in 1873. The Boise
high school established its library in
1881. being the second in age. The pub
lie library Of this city was not established
until 1894.
The university library at Moscow shows
the greatest increase during the year,
having added 1000 volumes.
The only library in the state that owns
its own building is library Of the Oneida
stake academy at Preston. This was
established in 1887, and now has about
1900 volumes. The value Of the library
building is estimated at $Io,oo There
is not library in the state except this
which occupies its own building, and
there is none that has permanent en-
dowment fund.
There are number of libraries in the
state which are not yet large enough to
come in the list. This does not embrace
anything with fewer volumes than 1000
which is considerable library for the
west. although it would not figure very
much in the eastern states. Among the
we'll selected libraries of the state which
have less than 1000 volumes may be
mentioned the Weiser academy, St.
Margaret's school in this city and the
Pocatello high school Libraries.
The nine libraries of the state, with
the number of volumes in each, are as
follows: State law library, IS, 600; state
university library, 5000; Lewiston state
normal library. 5000; Boise public library,
2Soo; Caldwell college library, 1900;
HALEY public school library. 1902; Pres
ton academy library. r7oo; Boise public
school library, 1000 and the Moscow
public school library, 1000. Statesman.

A Chance For Some Boy.

The True Democrat has in it's
gift, a chance for some poor boy to
obtain tuition free in the academic
department of Tulane University.
The stipulations made by the man
agement of that great institution
in allowing such an opportunity to
be presented, are that lie must have
character, brains, therefore ability
to take up the course, and must be
poor and not able to pay for such
tuition. Though the True Demo-
crat does not know of any one, at
present, open to this Offer, surely
among the many eyes that will
scan these lines, there is some
youth filling these requirements.
If such q youth, poor but am
bilious, gifted and worthy, can be
found, it will be the pleasure of
the writer to confer with him, and
arrange for his taking advantage
of the offer, which may mean SO
much to him.

Concerning Charlton.

New Orleans, July 10Th, 1901
The prevalence of Charbon in
the neighboring States spec ally
should arouse the sOlicitude Of all
Police Jhries and Local Board of
Health, lest the disease may spread
rapidly when it will surely attack
human beings. All animals which
have been exposed to Charlton
should be at once injected with the
Antitoxine. The cost is very slight
viz: $500 for each tube of ten doses,
with $500 for a syringe, and the in
lection can be done by any intelli-
gent person. The antitoxine can
be procured in New Orleans, and
the State Board will attend to all
orders you may send it. To burn

FURTHER ARGUMENT.

The True Democrats plea for the
property owners along "the new
brick route" between the corner
east of the bank and E. L. New
sham's store was very we'll received,
at least by the persons most con.
J cerned, with perhaps some others
that saw the justice of the plea.
There are other arguments that
occur to the mind. If the prece-
dent of the towns laying its own
pavements be set aside, and this
duty is to be delegated to property
owners, why discriminate ? Why
not make the order general ? Why
not order the north side of Royal
and Ferdinand and west side of
Alley, and all the remsining ban.
quotes paved ? If one must, all
should be served the same way. If
it is argued that l. enhances the
value of property to have a pave.
ment in front of ones property,
then let every one have these en-
forced benefits. If it is a nuisance
to have the constant passing which
good side walk involves, then
equa)ize the nuisance, and lessen
the pressure Oh any one set of res
idents.
1t is however the discrimination
that is unjust, and it may be suspect
ed that if such an Order,as the town
council recently made, were laid on
ALL now without pavements, it
would open the eyes of great
many to the fact that the property
owners, whose payements were laid
for them several years ago, at pub
lie expense, were unduly favored, if
citizens mustnow provide their own
pavements.
This point has evidently been
overlooked by the council. Conyinc-
Ell of the desirability of. the i'm.
provement, it was not taken into
account that it would bear un.
equally upon certain property'hold'
ers, four Of whom are widows and
fifth the congregation Of a strug-
Cling little church.
The council, it is hoped, will
either reconsider, or give these
good people more time.
