Though the statute does not specify
that the giving employment to labor
is a public benefit, 1t is. nevertheless,
a decided benefit, and whenever Rich
mond ceases to grow along industrial
lines she will cease to grow in all
other avenues. The Palladium be-
lieves that. the City of Richmond will
be benefited by the doubling of a
plant like the Hoosier concern and If
anybody can point out where the city
of Richmond will be benefited If the
street is not vacated and the Hoosier
plant is not enlarged and it's facilities
increased, please come forward. If the
closing of Fourteenth street Is not a
public benefit, as the attorneys for
the demonstrators declare. wherein
does the public benefit lie If the street
remains open? The attorneys who
oppose the petition admit that the
street as it now exists benefits the re-
monstrating manufacturers but they
fail to show wherein the public de-
rives it's benefit therefrom at the
present time.

A CIVIL WAR REMINISCENCE
Interesting Incident That Occurred in Henry County
During the Days of 1861.

soldiers, that whenever any Of them
were numerous combats. AS the
loyal people always to give the sold
iers a good time when at home. There
were numerous parties and suppers
given for their entertainment.
One evening as a party of soldiers
were going out to one of these enter
tainments they were fired upon and
one of them received a bullet in the
leg. 1t proved to be a young man
by the name of Crist who fred the
shot. He lived with his father on a
farm about two miles north of town.
OF course there were arrests to be
made and 1t so happened that Cap
tain Nation, then a resident of Henry
county, who was a brave soldier was
at home and offered his services to
the sheriff.
Gathering a lot of the boys in blue
he sailed forth to make the arrests,
dead or alive. Arriving at night at
the house they found the old man
and his son fully prepared for them
having uGc ooNoSS NNoN
and a trap door to let them down in
to a subterranean cavity.
Providentially they did not enter
the house as had been reckoned and
succeeded in getting in without much
trouble or annoyance when the fight
began. A number of shots were fired
by both parties, the soldiers coming
off unscratched but leaving the old
man dead in the house and taking the
son to Jail.
OF course the people of all parties
were shocked but it had a salutary
effect of bringing about more peace
full atmosphere either from fear OF
their own personal safety or from
Imprisonment or even death as was
the fate of Crist.

During the years of the civil war
we were residents of Middletown,
Henry, County. The pioneer element
of the town and vicinity was chiefly
made up of Virginians, who had
brought with them all their hatred of
northern abolitionists and when the
first rumblings of secession were
heard it awakened in them the most
bitter hatred for the union loving peo-
pie and as the factions were about
equally divided we had war at home.
Business houses of loyal men were
threatened with the torch ard so in
tense was the feeling 1t was thought
necessary to patrol the town and to
organize a company of home guards
while the rebellious citizens organ
lied a company to resist the draft.
These men met once every week to
drill, carrying all manner of fire arms
from the old flint back rifle to the
most modern of the time.

1t is reported that Rev. Kuhn will
challenge Hon. J. E. Watson to a
joint debate of the political issues
during the campaign. Such an ar
would help to advertise
Mr.. Kuhn all right, but we do not
believe that Mr.. Watson will care to
make a hippodrome of his canvas.
One report of the district convention
at Greenfield last Saturday says
that some of the delegates grew so
optimistic that they predicted the
of Rev. Kuhn, the nominee
for representative in Congress. We

ADDRESS DISAPPOINTING.
TSheIbyviIIe Republican,

The acceptance speech delivered at
Greenfield last Saturday by Mr..
Kuhn was a disappointment to the
men who nominated him and placed
their seal of acceptance upon him
in the name of the Democrats of the
Sixth district. In his speech the Rev.
Mr.. Kuhn forgot to discuss any live
issue, as the Jeffersonites hoped he
would do. He did not challenge the
Hon. James <. Watson to a series of
spectacular verbal combats. as he has
said he would do and his treatment
Of the party which nominated him,
is said to have been anything but
pleasing.

Great Britain's Rainfall.

Rainfall is a condition which has
much to do with our health. A wet dis
trict with good deal of subsoil water,
making houses damp, is a locality in
which rheumatism and consumption
are likely to prevail. Over England
and Wales the average yearly rainfall
Is about thirty-four inches, in Scotland
1t reaches forty-six inches and in Ire
land about thirty eight inches. Posi-
bly, the wettest parts Of Britain are in
Cumberland, where the rainfall may
attain $50 inches per year. One inch of
rain On one acre of ground means a
hundred tons Of water.-London Graph

the Senate. The Senator is work
ing under a very great strain. In
his efforts to prevent the establish

adversaries at Washington and
enemies at home. Besides this
fight, he is working hard to secure
the passage of the pure food bill
measure that has the antagonism
of all the fakirs of the country that
try to work off unclean and un,

The laws passed by the eighth

pride of the administration. The

one of the measures whose enact
ment was most strongly urged by
Governor Gooding, has fully met
the expectation of friends. At pres
t there is s33O,000 of state mon
ely loaned to the ba ks within the
state. For the first time this
money is proving source of reve-
nue. to the state. At present the
ear ings OF the peoples money will
be $4,000 to $4,000 year and the
money is all kept within the con-
fees of the state. The Office is
now more than self sustaining, as
will be every county treasury in
Idaho when the cou ty commits
sioners comply with the county
depository law, also passed at the
eighth session. The passage and
enforcement of these laws not or
ly will reduce the burden of taxa
ton, but it will remove of the
most deplorable features in our
political life in the past the activ-
ity of banks in political campaigns.
