New York, Nov. 26.-Rev. Her
man Van Broeckhuysen, Boer
preacher, addressed meeting of
Boer sympathizers here tonight He
said the Beers would never surrender
and then devoted most of his talk to
a description of the concentration
camps. He said:
There are "a of these camps
along the line of the railroad. They
are surrounded with barb wire fences
ten feet high and outside Of those
fences armed British soldiers are on
guard. The women and children
sleep on the bare ground in tents ol
open barracks They are allowed
half pound of meat, quarter oi
an ounce of coffee, two ounces Of
sugar and little salt each day
They are practically living skeletons
"In England and Wales the aver
age death rate is 18 in 1000. Ii
these camps in South Africa th'
average death rate was 264 in 1000
while the death rate among children
was 433 in 1000. Unless SOM
remedy is effected there will be nj
children left.

HOmeseekers Visiting Snake River
Valley at Big Disadvantage.

1t is said that over 100 families
have located in the Payette valley
since the first of October. The real
estate companies of that place are
exceedingly energetic. They send
men east to bring out coionist and as
the people there are eager for a
change they bring back good parties
on every trip. An emigration agent
of this kind can always secure re-
duced tickets for members of his
party direct to the place from which
he halls, and thus becomes theii
guide. Unless homeseeker comes

in such a party he can secure a round
trip ticket to this section of Idaho
but little cheaper than he can to
Portland, San Francisco and return.
Naturally he takes the latter, and
sees so many places and is so
tired out by the time he makes the

condition as the man who tries to
take in all the sights of a

only develop the state but would
bring ample returns to the railways,
as many of the excursionists would

again, paying regular rates. 1t
seems that the 'scoast people" have
passenger rates so fixed that man

Gilbert Hayes Meets With Fata

New Rhulin Brought Out During A
Very Entertaining Session.
HOT WORDS CHANGE TO BLOWS
Under Great Provocation Notably Courteous
Attorney Lost His Temper.

Council had a warm session of
court last week, so reports Sheriff
Gray who was in attendance.
There were two cases up before
Judge David Richardson, Geo. P,
Rhea having gone up to represent
the county attorney, and Burtenshaw
defending in both instances.
A certain Italian had stolen tent
from Mr.. Rineheart, citizen of the
valley, and was tried by jury. The
prisoner admitted taking the tent
without authority and appropriating
it to his own use, says Sheriff Gray,
but the jury turned him loose and
passed the costs over to Rineheart.
Ed Gilligan was charged with
having stolen horse from Arthur
Gardiner The circumstances of the
case are too lengthy to relate, but
the ownership of the animal was in
dispute and it was more question
of title than deliberate larceny
Gilligan returned the horse to Gardin-
er and was discharged During the
hearing of this case the monotony
of the court was relieved by lively
proceedings on the part of the counsel,
Attorney Burtenshaw objected to
a question Attorney Rhea was
asking the witness and in
order to add force to his de-
mand, and induce Judge Rhea tc
break away, he unceremon eously

the organization of the peoples party

the organization of the peoples party
alive.
Next came the campaign Of 1900.
Contrary to the general belief, Bryan
was again named as the standard
bearer of his party and the principles
so dear to him and his followers were
once more made the battle cry. The
result was another defeat at the polls,
but not because the American people
lacked faith IN Bryan or did not be-
lieve the democratic platform was
the better, but because, times being
comparatively good, they concluded
that for the present it was best to
s.let we'll enough alone.
Every observant man who followed
the last two campaigns closely will
concede that the enthusiasm for the
democratic nominee was something
marvellous and that his defeat cannot
ba attributed to either lack of faith
in him or his views.
Consequently, since both the demo
cratic and peoples parties are now
striving to accomplish the same pur-
pose, I am unable to see why we
should keep up separate organiza-
tions since by combining forces in
in name as well as in fact we can
better subserve the interests of the
great principles we advocate.
One other motive has actuated me
to make this move, namely the desire
to be better able to serve my state
and constituency.
The coming session of congress is
universally expected to be of un-
usual importance. Questions not
only affecting our own state but the
entire west will confront us. The
isthmian canal, the opening of the
Columbia and Snake rivers, the irri-
cation question, the efforts of giant
syndicates to control the public lands
by leasing, and last but not least the
fixed purpose Of the trusts and com
bines, acting through the republican
organization, not to re-enact the
Chinese exclusion law, which expires
by limitation IN 1902, are but few
of the great questions of particular
importance to the people of Idaho
and the west that are to be con
sidered and that constrain me to tax,

Chinese BARRIERS.

The BARRIERS calling Is supported by

razor only covers an inch or two at the
time and makes the operation unneces-
sarily tedious. He has the advantage
Of knowing that he represents lawful
authority. He ought never to suffer
from being out of work.
Then his perquisite, the combings,
makes up for natural deficiency. He
can sell at clear profits tails of his own

commerce. The more sable the better.
Children's heads are shaved in order

For convenience in work 1t is fastened
up in a coil, but for man to speak to
his superior without letting 1t down is
an insult. No Christian would enter
church in this dishabille. A stranger

THE HORSE INDUSTRY.

Why the Eastern Farmer VIII De-
Well to Raise q Few Horses.
A belief exists all over the east that
n the future the west can be depended
upon to supply horses at less cost
than eastern farmers can afford to-
raise them. A months sojourn In the,
west looking up the horse industry
leads me to the conclusion that such
belief is unfounded, says a National
Stockman writer. The plain facts are,
the low prices Of few years past have
more effectually driven the western
breeder out of breeding horses than the!
eastern breeder. True, there are horses
found In plenty in the sale stables. But
the quality Of them is poor-in fact
very poor In many cases. Scarcely 4l
irst class carriage, coach or draft horse,
can 1 find. BY far too many Of them
are 100 pounds too light for carriagei
horses, and when ] do find one largei
enough with a kind disposition and in-,
telligent find him poorly formed.
There are no doubt good sires In the
country west of the Mississippi, butt
they are comparatively scarce. There

In quality this variety Ia hardly sur,

Other varieties closely resembling the
