STORY OF TERRITORIAL DAYS
Late Governor Irwin Found Life too
Strenuous in Idaho.

w ASHlNGTON, Jan o. he late
John N. Irwin OF Iowa was at one
time governor of Idaho territory"
said Senator Dubois.
My recollection is that it was in
1884 he was appointed, and came
to Boise. | was then United States
marshal, and Theodore F. Singiser
was our delegate in congress. We
both met the new governor and
proceeded to welcome him in true
western style.
1--WE went to Shoshone, at that
time the terminus of the railroad,
and a pretty wild sort of a place.
We had difficulty in finding place
for Governor Irwin to sleep, but
late in the evening we found a bed
for him in a tent The greater
part of the town was under canvas.
instead of being under roof. There
was a great deal of shooting going
on, three or four men being killed
that night. The bullets whistled
through the tents in reckless
manner.
Before putting the governor to
bed, Singiserand | took him around
to show him the town. We went
into a dance hall, which by the
way, was in a tent. While we
were looking on at the performance.
a big fe low with a red shirt on,
arose in the middle of the audience
and shouted: "Let us now have a
song and dance by the new govern
or of Idaho" That was too much
for Governor Irwin, so we went
away to other tents, and in an hour
or two the governor was so thour-
oughly entertained that he was
sound asleep in his tent.
ROUND OF EAsURE.
From Shoshone we went to
n al ey and other points, until we
finally landed in Boise, where the
good people continued to entertain
the new governor with banquets,
all of them being interlarded with
wine and other liquors. Not more
than three weeks elapsed, whe one
evening overnor Irwin asked me
to take walk with him. We went
to one OF the bridges, and there,
looking down into the clear flow
ing water, overnor Irwin asked
me to tell him what were the duties
of the governor of Idaho. | told
him that he had been performing
them for three weeks. He was
amazed, and asked if there was
nothing to do but be entertained;
and | told him there was nothing
else to do; nothing at all.
THE next nay Governor Irwin
left Idaho, went back to Keosuk
Iowa, and resumed his wholesale
grocery business. He never came
back. His successor was OF APP
pointed for more than a year. Al
the end of the fiscal year the trea.
sury department sent hi.n a war
rant for his salary of $500. Claim

Saturday evening about o'clock, and
the Ryneal Chemical responded with
great promptness. The alarm was &C.
casioned by the explosion OF lamp in

extinguished by the time the fire wag-
on arrived, snd but little dsmage was
done.

Mr.. Dewitt Miller. who will appear

is walking encyclopedia, dictionary
and library combined, on a lectnring
tour. He seems to know everything.
and remembers what he reads. If all
else fails he studies the dictionary.
When lecturing time comes around
he sorts his knowledge oat, and puts
as much of sort into lecture az it
will hold without exploding. Then he
fills every corner and chink with stO-
ries-good stores-stories that max e
you laugh, and after thoroughly pick
ling the whole mixture in the Miller
brand of humor, the lecture is declared
ready for presentation, and is eagerly
asked for by your lecture committee.
Mr. Miller appears and az he makes
his bow, he seems to you ungainly
homely in person and gestures. You won
der how he ever reached the platform
and almost think you will go home.
What's the use Of staying? But sud
denly solid lump Of wisdom, brist-
ling with humor and pathos, comes
your way, and you don't wonder any
longer. You hear him to the end, and
then:wish he would talk longer. He
won't, though. You will have to wait
until he comes back next year.
