(speciaI to The Heraldl


Boise, Ida. July 1S.-The election OF
James II. Hawley as mayor of Boise is
regarded as a strong personal victory
and also demonstrates that the old or
der Of things has passed away. Boise
Is city Of homes and churches. and
the good people Of the town nave de-
elared that gambling in sH its forms
must cease. that vice must hide its
head and that the laws upon the stat
ute books must be enforced. Mr.. Haw-
ley unequivocally pledged himself to
ms policy and was elected mayor In
consequences. Ise goes into Office with
me pest WISHES Of a large majority OF
tne people Of Boise and can make the
once a stepping stone to the govern
orship if he 50 chooses.
Republican City.
The overwhelming Republican ma
Jorlty ia Boise is evidenced from the
1act that although the labor unions
and Democrats united upon six can
oldateS FOR cOuncilmen they only elect
Cd two OF them The fusion of forces
was not complete, however, as the
union divided the nominations for
councllmen between the two old par
ties and the Democrats refused to en-
dorse any but the Democrats The fact
That the labor unions cast 500 vOUes. or
NiiN- ApGt IN pA ali cast. Is euCOuEdSllSs
as there is every evidence that the
Unions are Thoroughly disguised with
republican political methods in Idaho
A Sad Journey.
Rev. c. L. Deuel., former Episcopal
rector OF Boise, accompanied by Mrs.
Deuel., left for Chicago on Friday last
with the bodies of the two little chill
dren of the couple who died of malig-
hant diphtheria at the Uncle sam
mine no In, q I.
or the week. The little bodies We're en-
cased i'm sealed caskets and viii be IN
TERED Immediately on their arrival i'm
chicago Considerable speculation has
been INDUCED in as TO The manner in
which the little ones contracted the
dread disease. which seemed to be Of
an unusually viruient type Mr.. Deuel.
was i'm Chicago at the time. having re-
signed his passionate in Boise and ac-
cepted charge there. Mrs. Deuel. with
the children was spending the summer
at the nome or Mr.. and Mrs. FltZhugn
near Idaho City. Mr.. Fitzhugh's neice,
who. with her husband, a Chicago ply
SlCldn. was also visiting at the FitZ-
hugh home, had suffered from an at
tack of diphtheria some two months
ago, but il is not probable that the dis
ease was communicated by her, as she
had fully recovered several weeks be-
lore leaving Chicago and every precau-
ton had been taken by both her and
her husband to prevent any danger OF
COntagiOn. The commonly accepted
theory is that the children contracted
tonsilitis through wading I'm a stream
near the mine and the attack developed
Into diphtheria, which is very. severe in
that altitude.
Dairymen and Pure Food Law.
II looks as though some of the Boise
dairymen are in danger of coming into
conflict with some of the requirements
Of the pure food law passed by the last
legislature. The law calls for 3 per
cent butter fat in all milk. including
that served in all public dining rooms.
Commissioner Mcpherson, in testing
the local milk supply, found several
samples below the legal requirement
and some above it, the samples tested
varying from 2la to 4 per cent. The
law also forbids the use of drugs TO
preserve milk or cream. Prior to the
passage Of the law preservaline in con-
siderable quantities was shipped into
Boise. and while the shipments have
apparently ceased for the past two
months. Mr.. Mcpherson says that there
IS rea son TO believe that perservaline is
still smuggled in and used. number
of samples of milk and cream have
been submitted to Professor Burd Of
the state university for analysis.
Embezzler Pardoned.
George w. Lamareau. who. while oc-
corder of Ada county. was convicted Of
embezzling 81, 900 Of the cOuntys funds
and sentenced. I'm March. 1900, 20 serve
a term Of seven years in the penitentia-
~. has been granted a communication Of
sentence amounting practically to 4
pardon; and after Aug. 20 he viii be a
free man, as his original sentence hav-
ing been cut TO four and One-haf
years, will expire on that date. The
action Of the pardoning board was not
unexpected. as many of the most prom
inent and highly respected citizens of
Boise had interested themselves in be
half OF the prisoner. The petition ask
ing for clemency for Lamareau was
endorsed by the committing magis-
strate Judge Stewart who sentenced
him. and also by large number Of the
lee ding professional and business men
of the city. many OF whom appeared
i'm person before the board. There was
no protest against the pardon filed with
the board and it was generally expect
ed that its action would be favorable.
although public opinion ran high
against LamareaU at the time of his
conviction.
