and late that night an investigation
was made by curious white citizens.
The coffin was filed with rifles.

REV. BENNETT

mayor. The council at its regular
meeting Mon lay evening, as usual,

Some people became alarmed lest
Mr.. Bennett might hold over

him out completely the mayor de-

HARMONIOUS Notes

AS the time approaches for the pol
itical primaries and conventions, it
becomes more and more evident
that the "factions" in the Republi-
can party, have existence only in
the minds of Our democratic friends
They have been building hopes up
on their error, and have only de-
luded themselves. The few repub-
licans who feared that there was
something dangerous in the wind
are being quickly undeceived,
and the alleged opposing forces
have come out with emphat-
ic denials that any dissenting de-
signs are on foot. It should be re-
membered that every citizen has
right to announce his candidacy for
Office and no other citizen should
traduce him or question his mot
ives for so doing. Great issues,
not, personal spite multiplicity of
candidates, constitute cause for
factional strife. The matter of can
didates is settled in the conventions
where either everything goes to
pieces or perfect harmony is secur-
ed. There is no good reason, ap-
parent at present, why harmony
should not reign in the Republican
ranks during this campaign.-Rath-

JubiIant Notes

There is practically unanimity
of opinion on this point through
out the state-that the administra-
ton given the people of Idaho has
been clean from top to bottom the
past two years, and under this Rep
ublican rule. The Democratic
papers are erecting imaginary bar
riers to Republican success solely
on points of party differences. If
nothing more tangible than this is
placed in the way to obstruct Rep
ublican success, our Bourbon friend
may as we'll get their barks in
readiness for Salt River voyage.
and not delay on the order of their
going, for the ukase is as good as
written that the g.o.p. has come to
stay overwhelmingly and indefin-
itely.-Weiser World.
