between the Balfour and Chamberlain

Mr. Chamberlain said dissolution of

The Russian Situation.
The report given out last week at st.
Petersburg that the cZar had express
ed to Count Tolstoi's son the deter
mination to summon the zemstky tabor,
or ancient land parliament, gave much
hope to the moderate liberal party, but
this report later was contradicted. Fol
lowing an order by the czar, General
Trepoff gave notice that commission
which would include workmen would
soon be appointed to hear the griev-
ances Of the strikers. The strike situa-

and a large sum of money was said to

Cattle Rustlers Baffled.

Information has been received here o.
fierce and bloody battle in the jackson
Hole country between band of cattle
rustlers and stock owners. The cattle
rustlers had rounded up nearly a hun
dred head of steers and we're headed
toward favorable shipping point when
they were apprehended by posse OF
stock men, and running battle, which
is said to have cost the lives of six of the
participants, four of the rustlers and
two stock men ensued. During run
ming fight of over sixty miles it is said
that all the horses of both parties were
shot down and the battle developed into
almost hand to hand affray. While
the reports from the country are very
meager it is evident that the fight was
appalling. The cattle men recovered the
herd and must have gotten the best Of
the battle as the thieves were dispersed
and went into hiding. The Jackson
Hole country is famous for such out
breaks and affords an excellent oppor-
tunity for the rustlers to get in their
work. The ranchers are simply compel
ed to adopt the stringent policy persued
in this engagement, and if such conflicts
continue the country will soon see the
day of the last organized band of such
desperados. When the property Of
peaceful, hardy ranchers, whose hard
ships and perils are naturally great
enough, is being carried away under
their very noses who will dispute their
common right of resorting to the six
shooter and the lofty cotton wood to
quell the thievery that is SO
overwhelmingly intolerable.

BlackfOOterS Get Money.

w. D. Trego was exhibiting three
checks around town this week, drawn by
the National Protective Legion of Wav-
erly New York, for $250OO each, one in
favor of himself and one each to John
A. and G. A. Powell which he stated had
just cost each of them $4,000 paid in
monthly payments covering period of
five years.
When asked in regard to the matter
he stated that the N. P. L. is Fraternal
organization which was organized under
the laws of New York about Ia years
ago which guaranteed to it's members a
sick benefit of $500 per week, and an
insurance of $500 for each month Of
membership and to make cash settle
ment with each member at the expira-
tion of each five years period from date
of membership to the age of 70.
There was local organization estab-
lished here May 1, 1895 which John and
G. A. Powell and twelve others beside
myself we're Charter members. After
the organizer left, the boys begnn to
loose faith in the organization and be-
gan to drop out until at the end of three
years there was just the three of us left
but we had investigated the methods Of
the organization to such an extent that
we were convinced that they were es-
tablished on sound business principles
and we we're determined to "stay."
Each officer and depository are heav-
lily bonded and the moneys are handled
in perfectly safe manner the same as
any Banking business and the payments
are all the same as time deposits are to
a Bank.
Every member who has carried cou-
pom through to maturity has received
$25O.OO for it within 80 days from date
of maturity except one year they paid
$275.O0 per coupon.
The membership is increasing at
very rapid rate, each month showing
larger increase than the previous one.
In 1904 the increase was more than
800 members each month.
We have 80 policies in force here at
this time and will have one more pol
icy mature this season beside F. r.
Jackman, Henry Nelson and E. T. NAL
com will each have one.
Next year Geo. w. Mingus, Horace
Doud, w. Scottford and W. II. Mont
gomery will each have coupons matur-
ing.
Any sound bodied person of good
habits between the ages Of IS and 60
can take out policies.

A Cheap, Refrigerator.

A man who once lived at Blackfoot
but now lives in hot part of California,
makes use of the fact that all wooden
tanks leak some, and starting off of this
idea, built a cheap refrigerator. He
made light framework four feet square
and six feet high with shelves in it for
milk, butter and fruit. The sides were
lined with burlap and on the top he
placed square box or tank foot deep
and arranged a lining SO that all the
drir from the tank trickles down through
the burlap sides. The draft which al
ways accompanys evaporation from a
wet surface keeps everything cool within
the enclosure, and the butter stays hard
and cold on hot days. Many an Idaho
settler can use such device to good
advantage and keep his milk Ind butter
shut out from the heat and dust.
