THE sENATORSHP

The General AssemblyS aving
at last organized, started the
balloting for a Senator or a
vacancy as 1the case may be
The end of the first week shows
no change. The Union Republi-
cans are voting for Mr.. Addicks,
of course, the Democrats, equally
of course are voting for Mr..
Salisbury. and the Republicans
for Col. du PoLt Some of the
Dover correspondents think they
s,se evidences of a break in the
Union Republican lines and that
the end of next week will show
many defections from Mr.. Ad-
dicks. This seems too good to be
true. Since Mr.. Addicks started
his personal party in 1896, he has
been the "logical" and only can
didate of that party. True, two
years ago a compromise was
made in the last days of the ses-
sion, by which two senators were
chosen. But even then it was
generally, understood that Mr..
Addicks was still their candidate
and it was not until he advised
the and compromise that result
was reached. This year, how
ever according to the stories
sent out, there is to be defec-
ton, not a compromise. A large
majority of the Union Republi-
can members are to drop the
cry of "Addicks or nobody" and
join with the Republicans in an
earnest endeavor to unite on a
candidate who can be elected
and who will represent well and
truely the State of Delaware.
This, if true, will be a great
victory for the loyal, honest,
Republicans, who have all along
fought Addicks and Addicksism,
but at the same time have stood
for one ticket and one party.
If the Union Republicans re-
ferred to do leave Mr.. Addicks, it
will mean that the party is to be
reunited, and in the future there
will be no prefxes nor affixes to
the word Republicans. There
will be a Republican party which
can and will present solid front
to Democracy and thus insure
Delaware's continuing under
Republican government.

OF Importance are in progress. Mr..
Froman anticipates big business
in reality in the next few weeks.

The Caldwell Band,

The Caldwell brass band, under
the able leadership of Prof. Gordon,
has commenced to give its open air
concerts. The Caldwell band has
long enjoyed the reputation of be-
ing the best band in Idaho and one
of the best in the northwest. It
starts out this year stronger and
better than ever before. The pro-
grams rendered each Friday even
ing are excellent in every particu-
lar, being composed of high and
inspiring class .of music. Most of
the credit is due Messrs. Gordon
and Beatty. Both of the gentlemen
have been untiring in their efforts
to make the band what it is today.
The boys should receive the liberal
support of the people of Caldwell.

Coleman Captured,

Sheriff Nichols returned Tuesday
evening from Condor, Gilman Co.,
Ore, with F J. Barnard, alias F.
J. Coleman, who escaped from the
county Jail on the evening of the
10th of September a year ago.
Coleman was arrested for stealing q
team and rig from D D. CampbelI
he hired the team and drove to
Weiser. AT that place he sold one
OF the horses and was getting ont
OF the country, when he was ar
rested. He was brought to Cald-
well and lodged in the county iail,
trial. He escaped and had
not been heard of since. Sheriff
Nichols feels jubilant over his CAP
ture as he has been working un-
ceasingly to that end since his es-
cape. 1t is needless 10 say that
Barnard was as chagrined as Sher-
1T Nichols was elated over the cap
ture.

Post Office and Depot Robbed.

Burglars dynamited the safe in
the Emmett postoffice Tuesday
night. They secured about $500 in
cash. The same. evening they

blew that safe to pieces. They Sc
cured very little at the latter place.

ing. This let them into the back
room and by forcing a door they got
into the post Office proper. Nitro
glycerine was used to blow open the
safe. The sound OF the explosion
was deadened by wrapping the safe
up with quilts and blankets. Part
of the money belonged to Postmas-
ter D. E. Smithson; part to the saw
ing's department of the Capital
State bank, of Boise. whose agent
Mr.. Smithson was, and a part was
government money. The depot safe
was blown to pieces. Twenty dol.
lars in cash. some tools and few
bottles of whisky was the booty Sc
cured at the depot. No arrests
have been made yet.

important Work.

Col. Allen Miller, State Immigra-
ton Commissioner, was in Noun
tain Home few hours last week on
business connected with a special
publication which he is preparing
for distribution on the incoming
Eastern trains at a point near the
border line of the state, when the
heavy passenger traffic sets in for
the coming fair. Col. Allen believes
in having literature of this nature
placed in the hands of visitors while
en- route, instead of on the fair
grounds, where such a mass of read
ing matter is encountered as to pre-
clude more than cursory glance at
best.
The several counties of the State
are to be allotted a given amount of
space in which to set forth their
special advantages. The work will
cost each county $I25, which con-
sidering the importance of the mat
ter, and the nature and source of
the publication, is remarkably
cheap.-Mountain Home Repub-

CALDWELL MILL
BURNS TO GROUND.
Loss S35' ZOO, Insurance $1,000.
Great Loss to This Community

Oreat Loss to This Community.
The Caldwell Touring mill
burned to the ground Saturday
afternoon. Property to the val
ue of $35, 100000 on which there
was $8,OO0.OOins wasto-
tally destroyed. The fire origi-
mated in the engine room at the
rear of the building. This room
was in flames before the fire was
noticed. The impression seems
to be that the fire was started bv
hoboes as there had not been anv
hre In the building for three davs,
The hre was too far along by the
time the fire company arrived to
do much good, and their efforts
were confined to saving nearby
buildings.
Ihe loss was a severe one to
NaloWell as a town and to many
OF our business men as individ-
uals. Mr.. S. S. Foote was the
principal stock holder of the COM
pany and manager of the mill.
He built the mill in Caldwell in
1897. 1t was one OF the best
equipped and largest Touring
mills in the state, having a ca
Paclty offs barrelsper day. The
mill was equipped with modern
machinery throughout. Owing
to the untiring efforts of Mr..
FoOte, the mill was manufactur-
ing ahrst class grade of -four and
was building up agood business.
The people of Caldwell keenly
feel the loss and sympathize with
Mr.. FoOte and the other stock
holders. 1t has not been dehn-
itely decided at this time, wheth-
er the mill will be rebuilt or not.
1t is to be hoped that it will as
the indirect benefits to a town
derived from a Touring mill is al
ways equal and usually greater
than the direct benefit, which we
all know is very great.

Mrs. Stewards Body at Rest.

Mrs. ]. B. Stewart, whose funeral
was conducted yesterday, had been
resident of Santa Monica for five
years and was noted for her deeds
OF kindness to the sick and suffer
ing. She was great lover of mus.
lC and art in all its branches and
was devoted wife and mother.
While in the full enjoyment of life
and her surroundings she was sud-
denly stricken with paralysis and
passed to her reward without re-
gaining consciousness.
Her mother, Mrs. E. c. Steaven-
son, came from Idaho in the hope
of seeing her daughter in life, but
on account of delayed trains did not
reach here until after the funeral.
Mr.. Stewart has the sympathy OF
the community in his bereavement.
The foregoing is taken from The
Santa Monica, (Cal.) Daily Out
look, and shows the appreciation in
which Mrs. J. B. Stewart was bel
by the people of that community.
DR.. Killhefer, the we'll known
eye specialist is in the city. In
speaking of New Plymouth he says
that town is growing rapidly. At
present there are many residences
in course of construction, while the
fruit evaporator that was destroyed
by fire some time ago is to be re-
built. DR. Ki11heffer said the peo-
pie of Caldwell should awaken to
the benefits to be derived from an
electric railway between Caldwell
and New Plymouth. The people
at his end were willing to lend any
assistance in their power toward
building such a line. There is an
immense trade in that part of the
Payette valley and Caldwell should
get good share of it,,

Then for eight years past Idaho
has taken much better care Of her
fruit trees than Utah has, and this
should be said of Utah no longer.
The example set in turning the
Snake river should be initiated by
turning the Grand river in Utah.
Quite as splendid results might be
achieved, and the profit of the un-

the start. Utah should prepare to
feed much denser population than
she has at present.-Goodwin's
