EARLY CLOSING
FOR STORES
We Heartily Approve Of
the Splendid Idea.

tor them an eight hour day; that is,
to be exact about it. But some
thing may be done to tighten their
labors without injuring anybody in
particular. In general there is no
more need of keeping a store open
from seven o'clock in the morning
until seven O'Clock in the evening
than there is of keeping a bank
open during the same hours. Banks,
indeed, have found it quite practi--
cable to open at 10 a. M, and close
at 3 p. m. Possibly, the mercantile
business demands little more lati-
tude. This may be conceded, by
giving stores from eight in the
morning to six in the evening.
That is two hours on each end more
than banks require. Merchants,
so they say, would all cheerfully
agree to such an arrangement, but
their customers will not tolerate
it. So, then, the proper place to
work is with the public and not
with employing merchant. We,
therefore, address ourself and make
this appeal to the good people of
Caldwell and vicinity: Do, you,
dear ladies and gentlemen, good
souls, wish to do a little thing for
the benefit of fellow workers, which
shall not cost you one penny? In
deed, the thing which we are about
to ask you to do will be greatly and
directly to your own benefit. We
believe that when we have pointed
out to you a way by which you can
do a good turn that will yield a
| double profit, you will certainly dc
it. Now, do you please give notice

DR.. Steely said that one ball en-
tered Mrs. Emerson's chest on the
left side, just above the heart, pass
ing clear through her body. The
other ball entered the chest about
the same position on the right side
and lodged under the skin of the
back. This ball was extracted and
the young woman is resting easily
and, in the doctor's' opinion. will
recover. When he left, her tenn
perature was only about a degree
above normal and the pulse about
100.
1t is said that Mrs. Emerson was
on the point of leaving her hus-
band and returning to her home
and that she had her trunks all
packed. She was up and fully
dressed when the shooting occurred
but no explanation of this is given
by either herself or her husband.
The latter, in fact, says nothing
about the matter at all.
The opinion at Miner seems to
be that DR.. Emerson fred both
shots and this is strengthened by
the fact that his revolver was taken
from his person with two chambers
empty and that its ca1iber is the
same as the ball taken from his
wife's body blythe doctors. Mrs
Emerson, however, says that toui
shots were fired and DR.. Steely
reports that a third bullet was
found in the room where the shoot
ing occurred.

We believe that good many Of
tbe reforms sought to be brought
,hout BY legislation and organ
;,ation could be accomplished
BY a little reasonable and per-
sistent agitation. The trouble
With most human beings is that
thew are too impatient of delay
and have TOO little tenacity of pur-
nose. Lasting reforms, like endur-
inc timbers, are of slow growth.
They follow public opinion rather
than lead it. But most REFORM
ers when once possessed of an idea
are Immediately seized with a hot
impulse to put it into practical op-
Grafton at once, and failing in that,
damn the world and promptly sub
side into kind of misantrophy. The
reformer learns of some wrong done
TO a particular class of working
people, and forthwith cries, Labor
must be emancipated. And he goes
forth not only bent on a proper
emancipation but is carried by his
feelings to attempt an exaltation
beyond all reasonable proportions.
1t would be much better if each
particular case were treated inde-
pendently and moderately; for it
must be known that all employers
are not devils, nor are all employees
angels. Let US therefore consider
one thing at time and apply a par"
ticular remedy to each case.
The TRIBUNE stands, in general,
for an eight hour work day, but it
does not stand for a hard and fast
rule. Take, for instance, the case

way to New Plymouth. They in-
quired about the town and when
informed that the place was not
very large, concluded to 60 to Nam
pa and take the train from that
place. When they arrived there
Combest put up his team and went
down to the depot to inquire about
the trains. It was some time before
train was due, so they decided to
drive to Boise. Frank harnessed
up again and they were off. They
arrived in Boise early in the morn
ing and went to lodging house,
Frank returning to Caldwell Sum
day. The boys father and mother
were waiting at the livery stable
when Frank drove in. After much
questioning Frank finally told them
that the couple might be in Boise.
Mr.. Charles and Marshal Fuller inn
mediately telephoned to Chief of Po-
lice Horn of Boise and he soon To-
Gated the erring couple. They were
brought back to Caldwell Monday.
The woman left for Baker City and
the young man is with his parents.
1t seems that the Charles family
became acquainted with the woman
at Fletcher, Ore, and she being in
distress they took her in. She trav-
eled around the country with them.
1t is learned that she has husband
living at Burns, Oregon. She is
only FL years old and is very pretty.
Young Charles is the 20 year old
son of Mr.. and Mrs. Charles who
are travelling by wagon over the
country, showing in the small, in-
land towns. All's well that ends

Saturday Mrs. Halle Mills of
Burns, Oregon, and Richard Charles

pany, eloped from Caldwell, but
were captured at Boise and brought
back to Caldwell. 1t seems that
during the day, Mrs. Mills went
over to the Pacific Hotel and asked
for employment. Mrs. Dempsey
told her that they needed waitress
and would employ her. Mrs. Mills
promised to be on hand Monday
morning. Saturday evening young
Charels went to Dan Campbells
livery stable and asked for a team
and carriage, saying that he wanted
to go to New Plymouth. Mr..
Campbelps teams were all out and
so he telephoned to Pete Engel's
barn. Frank Com best answered
and said that the team would be
ready in twenty minutes. Young
Charles walked over to Engeps
barn and got his fathers light rig
and went down to the camp, which
was located near the Fair grounds.
He told his father and mother that
Halle was going to work at the
Pacific hotel and he came down to
get her trunk. Mr.. and Mrs.
Charles tried to persuade the woman
to remain at the camp that night,
but she would not do so. Finally
permission was granted and young
Charles and the woman started out.
When they got to Engeps barn they
turned in and transferred the trunk
to Engels carriage. In few min

Finney said that it was the inten-
ton to allow the young ladies every
possible liberty consistent with their
welfare and that of the College.
The matrons require thatthe young
ladies secure permission before go
ing out at night. The restraint, if
such it can be called, is wholesome
and should not prove irksome. On
the first floor of tie building is the
large, eommodious, conveniently
arranged and cheerful dining room.
This room is particularly well
equipped. The kitchen, laundry,
guest chamber, and two bed rooms
are also on this floor. And the cell
lar, we must call particular atten-
ton to that cellar. 1t is substan-
tally built and is chuck full of the
dainties and necessities of life.
Here fruits of all kinds and vege-
tables are charmingly displayed.
,, The exhibition that meets ones
eyes would do justice to the Can
yon county fair. 1t was with re-
luctance that we tore ourself away.
The upstairs is partitioned of
into sleeping apartments. The
rooms are neatly furnished and ar
ranged so as to afford plenty of cheer
full sunlight and pure air. Misses
Finney and Franklin take great
pride in the dormitory and they
have good reason to. The accom-
modations are excellent, while the
rates are very low.~ We would urge
upon those who send their children
to school, the advisability Of plac'
ing them in charge of Misses Finney
and Franklin. The young ladies
will be well taken care of, nc
reasonable liberty will be denied
them, and everything to make them
contented will be done.
