DEMOCRATIC REFORMS.

III KEFOKMS.
One good result Of the six years Of
democratic administration of the at
fairs Of the government Of the state
OF Idaho is found in the reduction
Of the tax levy for state purposes
from SO cents on tho 800 to 46 cents
on the 500. This has been accomp-
lished by the enactment Of legisla-
ton which makes big corporations,
like the insurance trust, the bank
ers' license, and last, but not least,
by she assessment Of mining proper
ties at their actual value, contrib
ute their due proportion of taxes
to the state treasury. For in
stance, all the big mines Of the state
were formerly assessed at $500 each,
notwithstanding that one mine
might have been worth 1900, 900
and another $4,000. The mines,
together with the improvements
thereon, have been listed separate
ly. As a consequence of the big
increase in the total valuation of
property Throughout t the state the
state levy has been reduced nearly
one-half over that Of last year.
The democratic party will turn
over the governmen ut Of the state
to the republicans in excellent con-
dition, which show s q vast i'm
provement over it's affairs when
the democrats took charge on jan
uary 2, 1897. A ~ duction Of the
state debt Of nearly quarter Of a
million dollars and a reduction of
the tax levy from B6 cents to 46
cents on the 800, besides the mar
velous increase in the general
school fund Of the state, have set
high record which the people will
expect to be mai ntained. The
power that restored republican con-
troll can just as readily displace it
should the republicans show mis-
management, incompetency, ineffi-
cheney and dishonesty in the ad-
ministration Of the affairs OF the
state government.

Idaho county, making but little

beginning to discover the wealth
hidden in our granite mountains.
The present year has revealed more
hidden treasure than dreamed Of

mines are being opened up, and
more mills will be built hereafter
than ever before.

been diagnosed and it was susceptible
of cure. The trouble was to indemnity
, it and prescribe the proper remedies.
To do this it would be necessary to
educate the physicians in the sand
districts of the disease, and to this end
| the department of agriculture would
shortly issue report prepared by him
which would be widely distributed in
| the southern states.
1t describes the symptoms of the dis
ease DR.. Stiles asserted that it Gre
ated an abnormal appetite for different
things in individual cases, and that
the "dirt eaters" were almost all suf-
ferers from it. The disease itself, he
asserted, was due not to the habit of
eating dirt, as some physicians have
claimed, but that, reversely, the habit
itself is due to the disease. DR.. Stiles
concluded by arguing that information
concerning the malady be spread
broadcast, and predicted that when 1t
was well under ccatrol a gradual and
noticeable Improvement would take
place in the condition of the poor
whites of the south. The strongest
man made to live under conditions ap-
proximating those under which the
average cracker" abides would, DR..
Stiles said, soon contract the disease
and in a short time reach the same
condition of physical and. moral stag
nation as the poor whites themselves.
A number of the South American
delegates expressed the belief that
such disease existed in certain South
American countries and was RESPONSE
BILE for the backward condition of the
people there. They promised to thor
oughly investigate the subject on their
return to their respective countries.
The conference adopted resolutions
introduced by DR.. Arthur r. Reynolds
of Chicago, that if all the discharges
of every existing case of typhoid fever
and Asiatic cholera were instantly dis
infected, typhoid fever and Asiatic
cholera would cease to be a menace
to the world; and that as bubonic
plague and other disease are spread
by rats, mice and other lower animals
which find sustenance in garbage, all
organic waste and garbage should be
kept separately until it can be remoY-
ed unmixed with any thing else.

PATHETIC STORY OF LIVES OF MINERS.
Testimony Astonshes Arbitration Commission. Widow and Chill
dren Worked Thirteen Years Pay Debt Incurred by
Father Who Was Killed in the Mine.

, thirteen years to pay off an accumu-
lated house rent and coal bill due the
Markle comp&ny, the narration OF
which deeply interested the comm is
siouers, She was examined by Law
yer barrow, and in answer to his cues
tions she said her husband was an en-
gineer inside the Markle mines and
was killed underground, leaving her
with four children, the eldest OF whom
was boy of 8 years. The company
lever offered her peanY, but the en-
ployes gave her about $3.50 to defray
the funeral expenses.
After her husband had been killed
she moved from her four-room house
into one containing only two, one
above the other, and for the next six
years she struggled as best she could
to get along. She took in washing,
scrubbed for the neighbors, and ouce
in awhile was given work cleaning
the offce of the Markle company.
When the eldest child was Il years
old he was sent to the mines. AT the
end OF the first month the lad brought
home his wage statement, showing
that the mother owed 1896 for back
rent. The boys wages for the month
had been taken off the bill and he
came home empty handed. In the
course of time her next boy was old
en- ough to earn q living, and he, too
was sent to the colliery. Like the cid
err brother, the second boy received no
pay, his earnings being deducted for
rent. The mother, on the stand,
was by this time yelling up, and
when she added that the money she
earned for cleaning the Markle Office
was never given her, but kept by the
company for rent, the commissioners
looked at one another in surprise. She
said it took he three OF them thirteen
years to make up the debt.

DELUGE OF LETTERS.
A Novel War By Anti-Cigarette
League.


A New York special says the tobac-
co trust officials are in an apprehen-
sive frame of mind. The reason is
said to be the activity of Miss Lucy
Page CASTOR and her aids of the Aati-
cigarette League. They have planned
to have 100000 children write long
letters from all over the country to the
tobacco trusts. protesting against the
manufacture of cigarettes. Miss Gas
too and her assistants are enthusiastic
over the plan and think it would have
a tremendous effect on the trust. The
protest had its origin In Chicago,
where Miss GastoR lives, and in a
meeting In that city at Wizards hall
arrangements were made to handle ali
the letters sent to them to be forward
ca to New York. The mayor and
members of the city council of Chicago
were present and offered cooperation.
The tobacco trust is contemplating
the hiring of a small army of clerks
to handle the tremendous mail that
will follow the action of the Anti
cigarette League.
