HOME MAKERS OF IDAHO.
Idaho County Pioneers Hold
Reunion Today.

1t is interesting to read Of the
pioneers reunions being held in var
ious parts of the west. The annual
opportunity thus afforded for those
who have been in the country from
the early days Of it's settlement to
exchange greeting with one another
to talk over what has been accom-
plished and to look forward to the
development which they are justi-
fed in anticipating for the future,
is one which 10 pleasing to see
so universally taken advantage Of.
The etate and those who have come
into it in recent years owe much to
those sturdy pioneers who were
here before the advent Of railways
and who were among the first to
demonstrate to the world the i'm
mense possibilities OF the northwest.
They labored under great disadvAn-
tagee, but they never waveIed, and
now they see the country settling
up all around them and enjoying
remark able prosperity. These are
gatherings in which the young as
well as the old participate. The
custom is one that can be perpet-
uated with good results.
The story Of the hardships en-
dnred by men who left family,
friends and firesides to build up
the west against treacherous In
dian is fresh in the minds Of the
people, though half a century has
passed. Men who fearlesely incurr-
ed the greatest dangers, subsisted
upon food not always good quality
nor sufficient in quantity, and stood
guard in scanty clothing through
wintery storms OF snow and sleet,
have earned the gratitude Of this
great Pacific State. Az the years
roll on this appreciation will moi
wane nor can it be lessened by the
heartless vaporings Of one who came
in years Of peace to make his home
and build his fortunes in beauti.
full land prepared for him by the
valor and perseverance Of the
pioneers of Idaho.

Valuable Residence Property.

Howe, Whitaker and Fogg have
purchased three blocks OF D. L.
Wylde, west Of the Court house
addition, which they will plat and
put on the market soon as they
get possession. This is q part OF the
Grangeville Nursery tract but will
not interfere in any way with the
Nursery as Mr.. Wylde still retains
a portion Of the grounds with shed
and packing room, and will buy
land outside of incorporation on
which to grow nursery stock.
This is the largest tract Of city
property that has been transferred
in a single body for some weeks.
Owing to the land being 30 valu-
able for residence property, Mr..
Wylde found il necessary to move
his growing business further out.

SHISSLER BOUND OVER.
Testimony of Witness Com
plete at Preliminary Trial

j RAOsV o. i0aliasbssCAA thSAa
The preliminary hearing Of Il.
F. Shissler was taken to the Court
house last Friday where better ac-
comodations were to be had for the
large crowds. Mrs. Minnie Harris
continued on the stand describing
the position Of the principals in
the case. She testified; she had left
the room Immediately after the
first shot but seemed to have a
complete knowledge of all that
transpired in the other room, after
her exit from the kitchen. The rest
of her cross examination was to
show her relations with Williams
which were published 10 last weeks
issue. Miss Hattie Haight was
next called to take the stand and
testified that Mrs. Harris and
Shissler had some words in the
dining room and that Shissler
left the restaurant. Williams then
came in and Mrs. Harris told him
what Shissler had said; Williams
left the room and returned in a
very short time in company with
Shissler asking him if he said what
Mrs. Harris had told him and
Shissler replied yes; Williams then
made a move with his left hand
towards Shissler at which time
Shissler drew his revolver and
struck Williams on the head and
fred a few minutes after, missing
Williams who backed into the bed
room door and at the same time
was trying to get his gun out of his
hip pocket which he succeeded in
doing and shot Shissler through the
left arm and got back into the bed
room. In the cross examination il
developed that after Williams
, struck Shissler he tried to get hi
,, lgun at once, and while in crouch

Civil Service Protection.

The civil service amendment pro-
muIgated by the president yesterday
will have wholesome effect and Will
tend to secure efficiency in all branch
es of the public service over which the
civil service has been extended.
There is no man more competent to
remodel the regulations of the civil
service than the president, who has
done more to make it efficient, not
only as president, but as commission
er, than any other man. In the former
capacity he has greatly extended the
service, and years ago, in the latter,
he made it effective, when it was
doubtful if Roadway could be made
against the stubborn old spons sys-
tenn.
Civil service reform has not accom-
plished all that it was expected to ac-
cOmplish in the development and pro-
lection of merit. But in one thing it
has accomplished what it was not in
tended should be accomplished, the
throwing up of an entrenchment for
the protection of inefficiency.
Whenever one enters the civil ser
vice his fault must be grave if he is
to be thrown out. The gentlemen who
guard the service are very jealous of
it, and their jeaIousness leads fire.
quently to the protection of ennplOye,
to the detriment of the public service.
Hitherto an employee, however cul-
pable or unfit for the duties he has
been set to perform. has been beyond
the reach of the man responsible for
the performance of those duties. The
presidents sweeping amendment OF
yesterday brushes all improper pro-
tecting influences aside.
The protection of the meritorious is
as strong as ever against partisan pol
itics The amendment is intended only
for the cutting away of dead wood"
1t gives the axes of heads of depart
ments a clean sweep.

DlstastefuI Controversy.

President McCurdy, of the Mutual
Life, avoids being drawn into a con-
troversy over every question" which
comes before the investigation of the
affairs of his company by declining
to reply TO the inquisitive attorney for
the committee. The particular subject
of the controversy which he de-
sired to avoid yesterday was in re-
lation to an earlier statement by him
that the great prosperity which the
Mutual Life had enjoyed warranted a
substantial increase of the salaries of
himself and the members of his fam
lily.
That statement was one calculated
naturally to open a controversy be-
tween Mr. McCurdy and the policy
holders of the Mutual who would
doubtless insist, since they have learn
ed from an authoritative source how
prosperous they have been aud have
seen such incontrovertibIe proofs of
their prosperity in the swelling sala-
ries of the McCurdy household, upon
an equitable division of it.
If this is not proper subject of
controversy it is difficult to see how
an issue of any kind ought to arise
in the present investigation, which
would be as coIorIess and devoid of
interest as a game of solitaire. But if
Attorney Hughes and the legislative
committee continue to insist upon stir
ring up strife, Mr.. McCurdy should
absent himself from that scene of con-
tention altogether, and he would thus
avoid being drawn into a controversy
on any question.

Proud William Randolph.

William Randolph Hearst is a proud
man. Accepting the nomination for
mayor of New York on the municipal
ownership ticket from a bowling mob
that filled Carnegie hall, he said: 81
am proud of the friends who support
me; am proud of the enemies who
oppose me; 1 am proud of my asso
ciates on this ticket" Happy fellow
He has learned in whatsoever lot he
finds himself Herewith to be content
If his bed should be infested with YER
min he would exclaim 81 am proud of
these bugs" If he should find himself
chased by a pack of yellow dogs he
would say Il am proud of these ours"
Well he has the supreme desire of his
souI-money, notoriety, and news
paper in which he can exploit himself
to his hearts content. SO why should
he not be proud and happy-in his
way?

TO cATARRH SUFFERERS.
Hyomei Guaranteed to Cure by n.
Goodman or Money Refunded.

The popularity and increase in the
sales of Hyomei are unique in the an
nails of medicine. Such astonishing
cures have been made by this remedy
that the proprietors have authorized
H. Goodman to sell every package of
Hyomei under an absolute guarantee
that it will cure catarrh. If it does
not the purchaser can have his money
refunded by H. Goodman.
Hyomei is no ordinary remedy. 1t
is the only method Of treatment that
sends by direct inhalation to the most
remote part of the air passages, a
balsamic air that destroys all catarrhal
germs in the breathing organs, enriches
and purifies the blood with additional
ozone, and makes a permanent and
complete cure of catarrh.
The complete Hyomei outfit costs
but s100 and consists of an inhaler
that can be carried in the vest pocket,
a medicine dropper and a bottle OF
Hyomei. The inhaler lasts a lifetime,
and if one bottle does not cure, an eX-
ira bottle of Hyomei can be obtained
for so cents. 1t is the most economi-
cal of all remedies advertised for the
cure of catarrh. and is the only one thai
follows nature in her methods of treat
ing diseases of the respiratory organs.
Breathe through the inhaler for
few minutes four times a day. and
and your catarrh is cured. That's all.
If not cured, H. Goodman will re-
fund your money.
