freedom which is their right than
his father did.
The people of St. Petersburg re-
ioiced, the dispatches say, when
they learned that a son had been
born, an heir to the throne OF
Russia. Perhaps they shouted, for
they knew they would be arrested
if they did not, but we doubt If
there was much JOY in their hearts.
1t is case of King Stork and King
Log.
There is deep trouble ahead for
Russia. 1t may come in the reign
of the present Gar, and it may
come when his son succeeds, but 1t
is sure to come.
The birth Of that infant IS one of
the saddest things IN history. Let
us hope that he will be happy as a
little child, for happiness cannot be
his portion long in land so filled
with unhappiness as Russia. Salt

Must Have Been Terrible.

We can see now the look of hor-
ror that Judge Flenner had on his
face, as he depicted the s'immoral-
ity," ''licentiousness," the utter
depravlty" of those few men who il.
good faith are living in polygamy.
Imagine the good, noble and moral
Judge ever having carnal knowledge
of more than one woman. The
thought, much less the act, would
shock him to innoseous desentude
or something like it.

Weight of Woe on Babes Head.

A poor little rich baby was born

He is Alexis, son of Nicholas,
Emperor of all the Russians. It
would have been better for him if
he had never been born.

III this United States is better off
and has the chance to live happier
life than that mite Of humanity IN
far off Russia, who is undoubtedly
crying just as Justify as if he knew
what was in store for him.
To fall heir to the burden that
rests upon the shoulders of the Car
of Russia is an awful heritage. To
be brought mp in the narrow con-
fines of a gloomy court and to sue
coed TO hatred and the fear of death
Is not pleasant lot for boy. To
be taught tho false idea that one
human being is by divine right
given rnlership over millions of
other human beings, with power to
take their liberty, property of life,
Is TO make that boy incapable when
he becomes man of giving the
people of Russia any more of the

Just Cause for Suspicion.

We don't wonder So much when a
man commits suicide, but when a
party takes its own political life for
the benefit Of one mans politi :al
fortune, then there is deep seated
suspicion that that party needs
heroic treatment of some kind, and
1t generally gets the necessary dose.

Immense Blast Fired.

uuluSllS( OldSt uSV<
Thursday morning about 8 o'clock
the giant powder blast which had
been under preparation for several
weeks by the Utah Construction
company, in the cut east of Evan
ston, was exploded with success and
satisfactory results. The towns
people had looked forward with
great expectations to witnessing the
shot, but were sorely disappointed
when informed they were too late.
The giant blast consisted of 1000
kegs of black powder, Us, 900
pounds) which had been deposited
in seven distinct tunnels, and was
exploded In one shot by means of
an electric button. When the shot
was fired there was scarcely any re-
port, but the shock was felt for
considerable distance, somewhat
shaking the insane asylum building
which stands about a quarter of a
mile away. The whole mountain
seemed to heave up up and then set
tie back to place, the shot loosening
about $4,000 cubic yards of dirt.
Fumes of gas from the explosion
spread over the city, one mile dis
tant, being strong enough to cause
discomfort among the citizens, who
at first were at loss TO know from
whence it came. The cost of the
shot is estimated in the neighbor-
hood of $4,000, but brought the de.
sired results, and doubles in size the
one fired by the company several
weeks ago. Some of the dirt was
thrown on the right Of way and il
required the combined efforts of
several teams and force of men to
clear the track by noon, ane this
prevented any great delay of trains
These shots are being made for the
purpose of reducing the cut ant
grade east of the city and Others
will probably follow in a short time

Ed Chalmers Killed.

LII N11du4SIS A1l4CU~
Word was received in this city
yesterday morning that Attorney E.
E.. Chalmers had been killed the
night before at IL o'clock, by being
run down with train at Blackfoot.
The particulars seem to be as fol
lows:
A freight train had come in from
the north and pulled through the
yards, intending to back into sid
ing. The principal crossing, from
one side of the town to the other, is
over the main and side tracks. As
the train was backing up Mr.. Chal
mers came along on his way home.
The brakeman on the caboose saw
him and yelled to him not to try
and cross. Either Mr.. Chalmers
didn't hear or else he did not think
the train was SO close, for he failed
to heed the warning and reached
the crossing just az the train struck
him. The body was frightfully
mangled and death must have been
instantaneous.
Mr.. Chalmers lived many years IN
this city and was one of the most
widely known attorneys in the state.
He leaves wife and several
children, to whom the sympathy of
the entire state will go out TO.
The deceased was Mason and a
Woodman and carried considerable
insurance in the latter order, be-
sides it is believed he had consider
able ''old lineo insurance.
While Mr.. Chalmers, like all
mortals, had his faults, still he had
many admirable qualities of head
and heart which won for him a
large circle of friends throughout
the state. He was a brilliant mem
Der of the bar of the southeast, and
had, IN conjunction with his partner
Mr.. Jones, built up an extensive
practice at Blackfoot.
To the wife and children, the Ex-
aminer household extends LIS heart
felt sympathy.
The funeral will take place a,
Blackfoot.

yerglng upon distrust and condem-
nation, has been expressed at the re-
suits of the republican state conyen-
tion. 1t Is generally considered
that the exchange of Governor
Morrison's administration. for the
ticket nominated at Moscow, if the
exchange should be ratified by the
popular will, will be loss and
deterioration to the state. Governor
Morrison's administration, as far as
the record shows, has been entirely
reputable and worthy and manifest
ing a sincere and honorable purpose
to discharge his trust we'll and to
put the public business on higher
plane than he had found it. If the
convention had been actuated by a
desire to improve upon this admin
istration and to rectlfy mistakes in
the interest of better public SER
vice, there could have been no pos
sible complaint even by those who,
while doing their best, had been un-
able to measure up TO the required
standard. Unhappily, however, for
Idaho and for political morality it
is impossible to attribute any such
motives to the action of the conven.
ton. Members Of that convention
openly charge that the defeat OF
Governor Morrison was procured
through collision with the timber
syndicates, the sleep larAns, The

Governor Morrison himself, in al
interview with the Tribune al,
weeks ago, strongly lntimated tina
the timber syndlcates would be re
sponsible for his defeat, should h
be defeated, because of his deter
mination to require them to observ
the law just as lesser people had t
observe 1t. The Tribune does no
make these, or any, charges agains

IN close fellowship with the republ

 Though nearly year has elapsed, the exact time, place and manner of the loss of the ill-fated Alaska steamer Discovery is just now known. The in teresting information comes from Chief John of the Lituya bay tribe of h. dians. Chief John was perhaps the last person living to see the Discovery afoat. On the afternoon of November ?, off Lituya bay, he saw the Discovery sink. Lituya bay is ninety-three miles south of Yakutat, the last port made by the Discovery. Chief Johns state ment supports the contention of the press that the Discovery was lost after leaving Yakutak, November l. His tes- timony also disproves the sensational stories recently published to the effect that the hull of the Discovery had been found on Middleton island, far out to the north and westward of Yakutat,- Guide.

Still More Evidence.

Bay City, ILL.,, Aug. S.-(Special.)--
MIR. X. +. Henley of this city adds his
evidence to that published almost daily
that a sure cure for Rheumatism is
now before the American people and
that that cure is Dodd's Kidney Pills.
Mr.. Henley had Acute rheumatism.
de has used Dodd's Kidney Pills. He
says of the result:
After suffering for sixteen years
with Rheumatism and using numerous
medicines for Rheumatism and more
medicines prescribed by doctors. l at
last tried Dodd's Kidney Pills with the
result that l got more benefit from
them than all the others put together.
"Dodd's Kidney Pills were the only
thing to give me relief. and l recon-
mend them to all suffering from Acute
rheumatism"
Rheumatism is caused by Uric Acid
IN the blood. Healthy kidneys take all
the Uric Acid out of the blood. Dodd's
hldney Pills make healthy kidneys.
