GREAT TRIBUTE TO THE noe.

Senator Vest OF Missouri, once adj

ute to the dog. He said:
Gentlemen OF the jury: The best
FREUD man has In the world may turn
against him and become his enemy.
His son or daughter that he has reared
with loving care may prove ungrateful.
Those who are nearest and dearest to
us, those whom we trust with our hap
piness and our good name, may become
traitors to their faith. The money that
a.man has he may lose. II flies away

most. a mans reputation may be sac
rificed in q moment OF ilI.cOnsjdered
action. The people who are prone to
fall on their knees to do us honor when
success is with us may be the first to
throw the stone OF malice when failure
settles its cloud upon our heads. The
one absolutely unselfish friend that man
can have 10 this selfish world, the one
that never deserts him, the one thar
never proves ungrateful or treacherous.
Is his dog. A mans dog stands by him
in prosperity and in poverty, Ia health
and in sickness. He will sleep on the
cold ground, where the wintery wines

Reports from various parts OF the
country show that former records have
been shattered and that the thermome-
tiers reached AS high as 1l2 degrees In

Territory the heat and drought have
been particularly distressing.
Water for stock is being sold at five
cents the bucket full and wells are
locked to keep trespassers away.
Ia many portions OF Illinois the farm
ers are almost panic stricken. Fruits
and crops are absolutely destroyed.
Kansas farmers are buying wheat TO
feed their hogs, knowing the corn crop
to be failure.
Spectators are In the market buyin
up all the old corn aud wheat that is
offered for sale.
In some sections straw has been ad-
vanced from 81 to IS ton. Many dis
astrous fires have been reported on
farms because of the dry vegetation.
The records OF the past thirty years
have been broken in certain sections OF
the states named. This Il serious mat
ter for the localities afflicted hut then
there can be nothing like famine in
this great country OF ours. The GER
tainty OF crops in some sections and our
rapid transportation OF them will pre-
vent suffering in all drought stricken
portions OF the country.

Boise is expecting company next
week. The mining congress is coming.
But we have a party here who have
not thought Of company az the mining
congress. We mean the board OF par
dons.
II ever board was up against the
real thing it is the Idaho board with
the Diamondtield jack aud Corcoran
cases.
To commute or not to commute-to
pardon or not to pardon-thes.s are the
questions. The board is between
Scylla aud Charybdis and Sirens are
singing from either side. We pity the
board.
There may be no politics in the death
or imprisonment of man, but politics
severe, singing, biting and lasting,
will grow out of the two cases under
consideration by the board Let the
board do its honest duty.
The new board of city officers is in
control Of the city government. The
members took the oath OF Office and
wined and dined and spoke witty things
latter these things will come the work
the making good of the promises and
pledges and the instification for fusion.
The political tide is setting in to-
wards the capital city shore-the small
white eaps-the straws and the drift
wood are all fDrerunGers. The Hood
may be several months away. Those
whom il may concern are showing
symptoms of anxiety.
Don't let il escape you, there will be
more candidates than one, yes. more
candidates than two, for the United
States senate, and more candidates
than three, yes, more candidates than
four for governor. The teli-tale signs
cay this today.
The Eext convention will favor a con-
stitutional amendment for the election
OF United States senators by direct
vote OF the people, but the next conyen-
ton will not nominate senator You
may hang this prediction on peg for
future reference. The principle Of
nominating is the correct one. but
