Ludicrous Uniforms Of the Japs.

Admiral Grinnell says that the military
in both the army and navy branches was
the first to feel the influence of western
ideas In dress.
1T was almost pathetic to see the eff
forts made by the young officers and stu
dents to adapt the Occidental uniform to
suit their own conditions. The compromises
were startling, to say the least. My friends,
the teachers In the schools, often showed
me photographs OF these strange costumes,
for when reached Japan the compromise
was less remarkable, for the people had
come to discard those articles of apparel
which were impossible to make fit the new
conditions.

enough to make one stare with almost

Some Fine Ore.

There is on exhibition in Ritter
Bros. window some ore from the
Claire mine that looks mighty good
to the stockholders Of that company.
The ore came from the shaft which
is now at depth of about 90 feet,
and was taken at random from the
ore on the dnmp. At the depth now
attained there appears to be we'll
defined ledge, varying from "a to so
inches in width. In this there are
streaks of ore that show up extreme.
ly rich in copper. and the average
is very gratifying to the company.
The ore shown in the window will
run from 80 to so per cent copper,
with strong showing of silver and
a trace of gold. Samples will be
sent to Boise and Salt Lake for as.
say, when the true value of it will
be known.
The company will at once let the
contract 10 extend the shaft another

FAvORS WATER WORKS.
w. w. Ritter Says a Water Sys-
tenn is the One Great Need in
MONTPELIER.
Montpelier.

w. w. Ritter, ofRiter Bros. Drug
Co., was in the city Wednesday.
In conversation with representative
of the Examiner, Mr.. Ritter ex-
pressed himself as having great con-
fidence in the future of Montpelier.
81 firmly believe that it is a good
town to tie to-" said MIR. Ritter. .bu.
there is one thing that it is sadly in
need of and that is system of water
works. The health of the commu-
nifty demands II i'm the first place.
With wells located within ten and
twelve feet of out houses it Is a won
der to me that the town does not
have an epidemic of typhoid fever.
A water system Is also needed for
fire protection and a town the size of
Montpelier should not wait until af
ter it has serious conflagation be-
fore taking steps to provide means
of fighting fire. Keep agitatlng the
question in your paper until you got
the people to act. A good system
could be put in here at moderate
cost, and there ought not to be
single property owner who would
vote against bonding the town for
that purpose"
Mr.. Ritter is man of extensive
business experience and it's there
fore natural that he should be quick
to see needs of a community. He
is financially interested here, and
has expressed himself as being will
ing TO bear his share of the cost in
placing this much needed improve.
ment in our town. 1t was when
speaking from sanitary standpoint
that Mr.. Ritter was most emphatic
in advocating the need of water
works here, and we believe as he j
does that one of there days the town
will experience an epidemic of di-
sease through the contamination Of
our well water with the seepapc
from out houses. Remember the
old saying that ian ounce of pre-
vention is worth pound of cure. -

SOME LOCAL HISTORY.
Narrative Of Events and History Of
Organization Of Republican
Party in This County.

Republicans Of Bear Lake county to
organize a Republican party oc-
Cured in the summer of 1891, Just
proceeding the first session of the
Idaho Legislature. About that
time the writer was summoned to
BOISE to serve on the U. 8. grand
jury where some unlawful cohabita-
tion and polygamy cases we're on
for trial. Matters dragged along
for several days, no cases were
brought on for trial and the u. S.
jurors were discharged and returned
to their several homes.
1t seemed to the casual observer
that the politicians had called halt
in further PROSECUTIONS, and from
that time on no cases of unlawful
cohabitation on polygamy were re-
ported by U. IS. commissioners to
the U. S. grand jury, and no cases
tried in the courts. From that time
the people in southeastern Idaho
enjoyed immunity from {. S.
Deputy Ma 'shals, terrorizing the
inhabitants thereof.
While in BOISE, | met DAVID Os-
: born, who said he would like to
join the Republican party, and as
soon as | returned to Montpelier, /
talked the matter up with all the
leading Republicans of the town and
the result was the launching of the
first Republican organization in
Bear Lake county. Upto that time
10 organized effort of the Republi-
can party had ever been made in the
county, nor a Republican ticket
nominated and presented to the
voters at general elections.
IN the summer of 1880 | brought
my wife, bride of but a few
month, to Paris and rented house
TO live in for an indefinite period.
We were introduced into some of
the leading families of Paris and
mutual friendship sprang up that
time only can efface.
A few days before Apostle Rich
was stricken with paralysis he, with
Bishop Wooley, of Salt Lake City,
Hyrum Wooley and wife, and sever
al other of the good people of Paris
spent an evening at my house in
social converse, instrumental and
vocal music, and all agreed that they
had spent very pleasant evening.
Apostal Rich was one of the most
kindly, genial gentlemen have ever
met in the west. He was broad
minded and liberal i'm his views

mon church.

disposition, motherly instinct and
always ready to do kindly act for

was not familiar with Idaho
politics at that time, but went to the
polls to cast a Republican vote, and
on arriving at the polling place
asked the judges for Republican
ticket and was informed that they
did not deal in the article. On ask
ing the reason why they did not
furnish the Republican tickets,
was told that their interests were
better served by the Democratic
party, consequently they voted solid
for that party.

and wrote out ticket that suited

The thirteenth session of the
Territorial legislature, under the
leadership of "Kentucky' Smith
disfranchised the Mormon electors
and passed in that legislature an act
known as the "Test Oath" All
electors, be they Jew, Gentle or
Mormon, had to subscribe to that
oath before they were allowed to
vote.
The Mormon people did not sub
scribe to the s'1'est OATH and were
deprived of the elective franchise,

Legislature passed an act restoring
to them their rights as American
citizens.
