Day, the departed ones were not for.
gotten, and during the entire day the
cemetry was thronged with visitors
who brought their floral offerings to
decorate the graves Of loved ones who
had gone before
On the day previous several beautiful
bouquets and floral designs we're re-
eeiyed from san Francisco, while Cur
rant Creek and other places contrib
uted their quota to the accumulation.
and in the evening the cemetery bore
silent testimony to the fact that the
dead still live IN the memory Of those
who are bearing LIES burdens.
While many Of the graves we're pro-
iusely decorated, none were forgotten,

spray OF blossoms marked the resting
places of those who had no friends or
relatives here to pay more ostentatlous
honor 10 their memory
Memorial Day Is the bond which binds
together the past, the present and the
future, and In It's observance humanity
must pause, in the hurry and turmoil
of every day life, aud give a thought

awaits US all It Is beautiful custom,
and one which will continue TO grow in

THE PILOT KNOB.
Work Being Prosecuted on Other
Claims in the Group.

Everything goes to show that the
eessasion of work in the Pilot Knob is
the result of Misunderstanding be-
tween p. L. Kimberly and the other
parties interested with him in the cop
per properties. Work on the other
claims is progress ing satisfactorily and
in the Pilot Knob the water is being
kept down, the understanding being
that Mr.. Kimberly will be let out, while
the other gentlemen interested will de-
velop the properties. This theory is
borne out by the fact that negotiation 5
are pending for other claims in the
same vicinity, and it is expected the
transfers will be made shortly.

Dear Sir; In regard TO the state
ment IN your issue of October 4th,
in commenting on the recent con-
test over the will of the lete j. G.
Brady, wherein you allege that
Sheriff Dyer empanelled the jury,
and packed the same, | desire to
say that this statement is not true.

A Distinction Without a Difference

In another column of this issue
of the HERALD will be found a
letter from Deputy Sheriff Fred H.
Bradbury, which displays decid-
eddy touchy feeling around the
Sheriff's Office. 1t might bejust as
well here to reproduce what the
HERALD did say and compare it
with the deputy's letter. On Oct.
4, the HERALD, in speaking of the
ridiculous inconsistency between
the published testimony and the
verdict of the jury in the Brady
will case, said;
1T is alleged in some quarters
that the jury was packed, it having
been empanelled by Sheriff Dyer, a
bitter opponent of Rev. Purcell
from religious standpoint"
The HERALD itself did not, and
does not, allege that Sheriff Dyer
packed the jury, and as to the fine
distiction as to whether Mr.. Dyer
or his loyal deputy empanelIed the
jury, that will only cause smile
at best. 1t is distinction without
a difference.
The rancor of Sheriff Dyer
against Father Purcell and his side
of this controversy is well known,
and had the administration of the
Sheriff's office been of that high
order of dignity that it should be
some means of summonsing the
jury would have been found other
than the method employed.
The impression intended to be
conveyed by the deputy's letter
that the jury was any better be-
Cause he impanelled it, instead
of his chief, is himsy dodge that
will fool no one.
But just why any man should
rush into print to claim any re-
sponsibility for empaneIling that
iury will puzzle those people who
have read the testimony in the
organ and observed the verdict.
However, we have no intention
OF being allowed to be drawn into a
controversy over the BRADY
troubles. We have no interest in
the matter and no sectarian bias.
rhe writer is not a Catholic, and
when we have expressed opinions
favorable to Father Purcell, we
have felt that it was simple justice.

The Full Dinner Pail.

The following, taken from the
Boise Daily Capitol, the leading
Democratic paper in Idaho, is re-
produced here for the benefit of
that Fusion organ in this county
that can see no improvement in the
condition ofthe country now as COM
pared with 1896:
"The Pacific & Idaho Northern is
advertising for 1000 laborers to
work on the branch line from
Council to the Seven Devils. Free
transportation from Weiser is in
cluded and the wages offered il from
~. % to ~ 80 per day. This is for
what is known as common labor,
which means unskilled.
This speaks volumns for the
present Prosperity of Idaho.
There are no idle men in the
state except those ohrOnically so
and who are idle as matter OF
preference.
A few years ago skilled mechan
les found difficulty in obtaining
employment at wages even less
than is now offered for common
laborers."
