Attention, Voters.

Every citizen of the United
States, over the age OF twentv-one
wears, who has resided in this state
for period of six months on cleo
ton day, and who will have resld-
ed in the county thirty days will
be entitled to vote at the coming
election; PROVIDED, that he or
she is registered according to law.
There is no requirement OF time IN
the precinct except that the regis
trar is not required to register
names on holidays and must close
the books on the Saturday next
preceding the election.
J L Fuller is registrar OF this
precinct and his books are now
open for you to register.
At the regular session OF the
state legislature four years ago a
law was passed which stated that
any legal voter VIII, had registered
in their respective county for some
previous election would not be re
quired to register for the next cleo
ton But at the session of the leg
lslature two years ago this law
was repealed and it now requires
that every voter. whether he or she
has REGISTERED heretofore or not,
must register before they can vote.

Certainly a Frost.

Karl Paine, Democratic nominee
for attorney general OF this state,
spoke at the opera house Wednes-
day evening.
Very little enthusiasm was ex-
hibited by the Democrats OF this
locality as there were scarcely any
at the meeting, the total attend
ence, both Republicans and Demo
Gratis, mum bering 35. At various
times during the speaking people
left the hall and at one time, when
five or six rose in a body and left,
Mr.. Paine made the remark that
if he spoke much longer he would
not have any audience left.
The meeting was adecided frost
and it is evident that the Mormon
question is getting to be such a
chesnut that the Democrats them
selves are getting sick and tired OF
it.
Mr.. Paine spoke about one hour
and half and the Mormon ques-
ton was all he spoke OF.

tinuously until noon.
The young man told a straight
story Of everything to MS knowl-
edge that occurred, and several who
heard the testimony remarked that
it was the best they had ever heard

ase.
The others who testified were
DIR C. w. Dill, who was acting
coroner at the inquest, Frank Nor
ion. who was tending bar at the
Temple Club saloon at the time OF
tile shooting. and sheepherder
named Hickey, who was IN the sa-
loon at the time OF the shooting.
The evidence secured at the
hearing was similar to that given
at the inquest. The hearing start
ed Tuesday morning and it took
all that day to examine the wit
nesses, a night session having to be
held. On Wednesday morning tine
case was argued before the court
and the court withheld its decision
until two o'clock that afternoon.
The courts decision was such that
Riggen was held on $4,000 bonds to
answer to the charge OF manslaugh
ter.

HALEY QUITS
One of Idaho's Pioneers and Hereto
fore Leader of Democratic
Party, Joins Republican
Ranks.

The best Democrats in the state
of Idaho are repudiating Fred Du-
bois, and the Democratic party in
the present campaign. John Hail
ey, one Of the earliest residents
Of the state, one of the foremost
men, never a Mormon, and up to
the present campaign one of the
Democratic party's strongest sup
porters, has openly and plainly re-
nounced his allegiance to that or
ganization, and has stated in terms
OF the plainest meaning why be
will not follow the apostles of hat
red and disfranchment-the max
ers of collosal mistake. In re-
sponse to a letter from Democratic
State Chairman Lockhart, endeav-
oring to enlist his services as a
speaker during this campaign. Mr..
Haley wrote the following grilling
letter, which may safely be accept
ed as the compost sentiment OF
honest and earnest Democrats OF
Idaho:
Boise, Idaho, Sept. 10, 1905.
Hon. H. w. Lockhait, Chairman
Democratic State Committee,
Boise, Idaho.
Dear Sir.-Yours OF the first, re-
ceived on the seventh, inwhieh you
extend me an Invitation to speak
in the present campaign on certain
lines indicated in your letter, and
also in the platform adopted at the
late Democratic convention held in
Occur d'Alene. Judging from your
letter and the platform, you seem
to have but one issue to present to
the voters of Idaho, and that is
charge against the Mormons of
church interference in political af-
fairs and the practice of polygamy,
and of unlawful cohabitation. We
have laws upon our statutes which
make the practice of the two latter
crime. Ii there is any man, or if
there are any men in Idaho who
know eff man or men in Idaho who
have taken plural wife or wives
or practiced unlawful cohabitation
since the head of the Mormon
church announced more than ten
wears ago that the Mormons' had
stopped the taking of plural wives,
and the practices OF unlawful CO..
habitation, he or they should, as
good citizens, go before the proper
officer and swear to a complaint,
charging them with crime. Have
the person or persons who have
violated the law arrested, tried by
the courts, and if found guilty pun
ished as precribed by law. l do
not know of any violations in Ida
no, or elsewhere of the law referred
to. Nor do l know of any Nor
mon church, or any other church
organization. as church, interfer-
ing or meddling in politics in Ida
no. If man or woman belong to
church. / care not what church,
paramount duty is to obey the laws
of our country. We have no laws
which prohibit either male or fe-
male citizens who are qualified
voters, from participating in cam
paigns if they choose to do so.
While l am democrat and be-
lieve in Democratic principles as
find them.
l fail to find any Democratic prin-
ciples as l understand them, in
your platform or your letter. The
universal custom with all political
parties has been for the candidates
to accept nominations from any
convention to endorse the platform

THE ENGLISH POLICEMAN.
He Is Always Neat and Quiet and
Dsfersntial Towards the
Public.

or all departments OF the city
Manchester, England) the one, next
to the tramways. Of which a stranger
sees the most is the police. And In the
conduct of the police department
writes Samuel Merwin, In Success Mag
azine. we find a striking comparison
with our American notion Of police
work. In Manchester. as In London,
the policeman is always the servant
OF the public. AS In London. he car
ries neither club nor revolver. His
duties are very nearly the same as
those Of New York oficer; It is In
his method Of doing his work that the
striking difference lies. He is always
quiet. always neat. always respectful
even deferential. In his treatment Of
the public. Such overbearing manners
a. we sometimes see In New York po
licemen would not be tolerated In Man
chsster-or In London, for that matter
Graft In the police department is al
most unheard of. The laws on this
subject sprang out Of lively public
spirit and are meant to be enforced.

PLENTY OF JOBS.

"WHEN TWO jobs are hunting for the one
man instead Of two men competing for
the same job. the workinQmen Of this
country can be prosperous and satisfied"
The foregoing was favorite declaration
in Mr.. Bryan's ! 1876 campaign speeches.
1t was true. too, but it seemed at that
time almost as the expression Of hope
too good to ever be realized. But in New
York at the present time. and in most OF
the cities and smaller towns Of the entire
country. there are more than two jobs
hunting for the one man. Jobs have
never before been so plentiful and men
never in so great demand. Mr.. Bryan is
having delightful visit with the poten-
tates of distant lands just now, and his
foreign sojourn is probably all the more
enjoyable because OF the information that
probably reaches him from time to time
that better conditions than he had ever
pictured for his countymen are at this
time being enjoyed by them.

The Preacher on Rice Throwing
Rev, C. E. Mckinley Of Rockville, Conn.
lifts up his voice against the heartless
bazing Of newly wed folks and saith:
Instead of fitting farewells, we have
brides sneaking out Of the house by secret
ways, crawling out Of back windows and
down ladders to avoid the ordeal, of maxi
ing mad rush for the door and the car
riages in the midst Of shouts and screams
and scuffes and struggles and rending of
garments.
Carriages are decorated and placarded,
the couple pursued to the station and the
platform covered with rice, thence into the
train and the car is filled with bosterous
Gus mise and flying rice, to the great
annoyance Of other passengers.
Everything is done that can be done to
make the coupls appear like fools, and
their friends succeed in appearing like
Doors and barbarians.
1t is time for this whole shameful busi-
ness to be stopped The leave taking Of
bride should be holy thing in the eyes
Of all who are privileged to witness it.
1t is really the most solemn moment OF
the wedding day, the one about which the
most precious memories should cluster in
after years.
No one has any right, by throwing rice,
or any other fooshness, to make it impos-
sible for bridal couple to say their good
byes as they should be said, and to leave
the parental home in peace.
And when they have passed the thresh-
old OF that home and gone out into life to-
gether, no one hae any right to pursue
them one step or to attempt to make them
conspicuous, uncomfortable or ridiculous.
To turn brides leave taking into a
noisy brawl is as unseemly as free fight
over the body at funeral. All such be-
havior is coarse, vulgar, uncalled for; Oft
en- it is worse-it is cruel, barbarous, even
brutal.
And It can all be easily stopped. II is
the members OF the immediate families
thatare responsible. Few wedding guests
would ever be guilty OF such wretched and
discourteous behavior IL they did not sup
pose that It was expected OF them. Mem
bers OF the families usually lead them on.
Bridal couples often invite such treatment
by virtual challenge"
