ELECT A MAN.

In the next Republican State Con-
vention there will be nominated State
Superintendent Of Schools. Public in.
terest generally centers on the head OIL
the ticket and very little thought OF
attention is given to the minor Offices.
Our Schools should be given the best
attention by the people Of this State, and
more attention should be given to the
nomination OF the candidate for the
State Superintendent Of Schools. The
writer has no criticism TO make on the
present State Superintendent but there
is growing conviction among people
who have the interests Of our schools at
heart that our schools would have
better attention if some qualified man
were at the head Of our public schools.
Our pubic school sys EN- needs
and must have important legislation
and man could direct legis-
lation much better than any woman
and would have more influence before
the State Legislature. The writer be-
lieves that women have the same right
as men have to hold public Offices.
but there are other State positions which
require no travelling and no legislation
and which any qualified woman could
fill with honor and credit. Latah
County's moneys have never had better
care than they have had under the
present system Of giving the office OF
County Treasurer to some qualified
woman. Why not try our method in
the State Government We believe that
it is not only pratical but good COM
mon sense. The writer believes the next
State Superintendent OF Public Instruc-
ton should be a man.

MAKE 1T WORTHY.

The News does not believe in
abandoning party simply because
there may be need of reforms. The
way to correct any abuse is for the
people to wake up and run things to
suit themselves. If there is need Of
tax-reform in Latah county, or Idaho,
any desired change may be worked
out most effectively through the demo-
cratic or republican organizations.
What is needed is a public sentiment
for the thing desired. We believe in
saying to the political parties: Keep
clean enough that all good citizens
may be able to support you, and nom
mate such men as decent voters NAV
conscientiously work for.'' The way
to compel this is to refuse to elect
candidates not up to the proper stand
ard, and when this is done a bad man
cannot receive a nomination.

Here is food for thought. A dem
ocrat, writing to the Pocatello Advance,
has this to say Of Fred T. Dubois:
1t is now up to all good democrats
in Idaho to ask themselves for some
good reason why they should ignore
their party principles to help keep this
political tramp's head above water for a
short time longer, knowing Of course,
as we all do, that he is always on the
lookout for chance to break into the
first party that he finds willing and able
to do more for him than the one he
happens TO be with"

DOESN'T LIVE IN TROY.

Brcnthes there man with soul so dead
WhOnever to himself hath said,
an y trade OF late is getting bad
I'll try another ten inch ADJ"
If such there be, 90 mark him we'll;
FOnhim no bang account shall swell,
No angels watch the golden stair
10 welcome home the millionaire.
The man who never asks for trade
BY local line or adj displayed
Cares more for rest than worldly gain;
And patronage but gives him pain.
Tread lightly, friends let no rude sound
Disturb his solitude profound;
Here let him live IN calm repose,
Unsought except by men he owes.
And when he dies 20 plant him deep
That neught may break his dreamless sleep.
Where no rude clamOr may dispel
The quiet that he loved so well.
And when the world may know its loss
Place on his grave a wreath of moss
And on his stone above, Here lies
A chump who wouldn't advertise"

THE LOGICAL CANDIDATE.

Wood River Times: Frank Good
inc is the logical candidate of Governor
of Idaho. He has given an admirable
administration that is respected abroad
as it is at home. He has fulfilled
every reasonable anticipation. Mr..
Gooding is doubtless better known in
Blaine than he is elsewhere in the state.
Coming here in the early SOS as a
butcher boy, he has, by indomitable
energy and foresight, become one Of
our heaviest taxpayers, one OF our
most progressive, most substantial citi-
zens. This while doing no injustice,
wronging none. But wherever he lives
the man does not exist who can truth
fully accuse him Of mean, degrading
act. His every word, his every thought,
his every act since his induction into
Office, has aimed at the betterment Of
his fellow citizens, Of his community, Of
his state"

The Fremont Williams strawberry Is
one OF the new late sorts from when
much is expected. When it Is intro
duced the name will doubtless be short
ened, in accordance with the general
plan Of using but one name for va

been under test throughout the country
for two years, and has shown every In
dication of being all that was claimed
for 1t by the originator Its one bad
feature and this will be mainly In the
opinion OF the consumer, Is Its rather
mis-shapen form. 1t Is full as late as
the Candy, generally considered the
best late sort, Of much better quality
and Is large and firm. In color 1t Is an
attractive, bright crimson, and this fea-
ture ought to offset, to some extent, the
bad shape. If it does as we'll under
general culture as 1t has under tests,
it will be valuable acquisition. 1t

Lettuce plants that have been win
tered over in the cold frame should be
planted at the earliest possible date In
spring. and sowing Of the seed should
be made at about the same time. Many
kinds Of vegetables will yield good re-
turns on land but moderately enriched,
but lettuce cao only be grown to per-
fection In very rich and heavily ma
nured ground. Plant In rows twelve or
fifteen inches apart; plants should be
set eight inches apart in the row, and
the seed sown In drill and when large
enough thinned out to about eight or
ten inches. Give clean and thorough
cultivation. Varieties Of lettuce are
exceedingly numerous, and the selec
ton of a few good kinds Is not with

THE SINNERS CHANCE.

A story which comes from the Con-
temporary Review has bearing con-
slderably broader than the mere facts
of the case; for the negro who Is the
central figure was possessed OF a
quality not infrequent in white Of
Tenders, too-the ability to magnify
the mote in his neighbors eye until
the whole community fOrgetS that he
has a beam in his own.
He had stolen the proceeds Of col
lection that had been made for tho
benefit Of the minister, and the church
had decided to try him. The meeting
was crowded. The preacher presided.
After a statement of the charges, the
accused man had a chance to be heard.
He went forward and took the place
of the preacher on the platform.
II amt got muffin to say fo' myself"
he began, In pentent voice "I's a
po' miS'able sinner But, bredren, 20

much, and then the others. Finally
they had all passed before him ex-
cept one old lady. She stuck to her
seat. Then he said:
Oars one po' mis'able sinner still

She was the old lady who had con-
tributed the largest sum.
Now, l sugges'," he went on, in
a gentle, reasonable voice, that we

SO after they had prayed and sung
another hymn the old lady came up,

himw exclaimed Logston, emphatically.
And then, as If to divert his thoughts
from the subject, he trod on Nesuvius'
tail, putting him into towering passion
and making him more than ever anxious
to worry Andrew and Ebony.
"The fact of the case is," said Boone,
seriously, that our friend Logston be-
lieves he has made discovery. Captain
Du Quesne and Monsieur lie Bland are
the same"
"The samew cried Aston, turning
pale.
"Identially the same" returned Joel,
with scowl
1T cannot be! 1t cannot be"' he ex-
claimed. "What do you think, Captain
Boomer?
II am Of Joel's opinion" replied the
latter.
And you, Mr.. Fleming?" resumed Al
ston."
I'm venture to make the assertion
that If Du Quesne were to die this very
moment there wouldn't be such man
as LIE Bland on the face of the earth. y
A dark frown passed over the usually
placid face Of Mr.. Aston. "lf this Is
indeed true" he said at length, this
very hand shall punish the perfdy of the
villainw
'Pervidin' I don't get my eyes on him
fust" muttered Joel, while Vesuvius
growled in concert, and Andrew and
Ebony withdrew to the further part OF
the fort, Influenced by the most prudent
motives.
Boone remarked that it was certain
Du Quesne, notwithstand all the va
porings of Girty, had no cannon, and
therefore he should not think of surren-
dering, as he was of the opinion that
they could not take the place without
ordnance.

him fire, but with no better success than
before.
Girty had disappeared, and In about
an hour Mckee came out and affirmed
that Du Quesne. still consderate and
merciful, had finally concluded to accede
to their most unreasonable terms, and
would meet them within sixty yards of

Too Free Usc Of Lime.

There Is certainly such a thing as
using lime too freely both in the matter
of quantity and Of frequency. AS a
rule sour soils need llme but 1t does
not follow that all acidlty Of the soil is
due to lack Of lime, for as Is well
known, there are certain minerals In
the soil In some locations which will.
apparently, make 1t sour, and all the
lime In the world will not overcome the
effect. Then, too. certain plants contain
more or less lime, many OF them sutfi-
cient for their own use-clover Is one
Of these, but Oftentimes more lime Is
required in the soil not only to cor
rect any acidity which may exist, but
to set free some element In the soil that
would otherwise remain inactive. We
thus see that lime has some other
function besides correcting soil acldlty.
BY far the best way to use lime Is to
experiment with the crop, knowing be-
fore seed is sown something about what
it requires in the way Of lime for Its
best development, then testing different
quantities Of lime on different plots Of
ground, but always with the same crop

PAIN KILLED BY BLUE RAYS,
Color May Prove Valuable as IN An
aesthetic in Surgery

COlOr May frOve valuable ns an a n
aesthetic in Surgery.
Interesting experiments with blue
light as an agent for producing anal
gesia, or insensibility to paln-the dis
covery Of Prof. Redard-have been
carried out by DR.. Harvey Hlllard,
anaesthetic to the Royal Dental Hos
pital Of London, and by a well-known
Geneva dentist.
In On article In the Medical Times
and Hospital Gazette DR.. Hilliard
states that he found that the blue light
had on himself "a most distinctly calm
ing influence; desire to close the eve
and sleep Is experienced, and after
some minutes senslbllity to pain Is
lessened. For Instance, the difference
between light pressure made with the
tip Of the little finger and a needle
could not easily be detected and surgl.
cal needles could be pushed into the
face, lips, gums and arms and blood
drawn thereby without actual pain
being felt unless a still deeper pres
sure was exerted.
II believe the presence of blue
lamp suitably placed might give satis-
factory results in the treatment OF
insomnia owing to its calming lnfiu-
ence, and l have tried 1t with some
benefit In one case. Similarly In the
restlessness Of infants suffering from
mild Illness and in asylums In cases
OF mania II Is conceivable that blue
light rays might be Of value This
view Is supported by the fact that red
light has been found to have n bene-
fetal effect upon smallpox, as 1t Is in
imicel to the vitality OF the germs Of
that disease"
DIR. Hilliard gives Instances OF the
utility Of the blue rays In the case of
the extraction OF teeth. One man said
that under Its influence he felt no pain
when a molar was extracted and re-
turned to have two others removed
by the same agency.

Fertilizing an Orchard.

Nothing Is better for fertllizlng an
orchard than raw bone meal and pot
ash, says an expert orchardlst. The
bone will have nitrogen enough for the
orchard in sod. and the phosphoric acid
will become soluble by degrees as the
trees need it. The principal need Of
your sandy soil In apples is potash, for
not only Is such a soil usually deficient
in potash, but apples take large
amount from the soil. We would ap-
ply 400 pounds per acre, mixed $50
pounds Of the bone meal and fifty
pounds OF muriate OF potash. Then
NOW the orchard and use the cut grass
as a mulch for the trees. In short,
keep the orchard for apples alone, and
devote all that grows on the land to
the trees.
