STRUT1lNG TAME GROUSE.
Parading His Charms Be-
fore a Hen.

Toward the end of September my
ruffed grouse began strutting, per.
Torrance similar to that of the turkey
gobbler. The tail is spread, the black
ruff thrown out around the head and
the wings dragged on the ground, the
object being to show all their new
feathers.
AS with turkeys, writes Prof Hodge,
in America, the young hens strut as
well as the cocks. In strutting the
birds indulge in a deal Of bowling,
tapping the ground or log with the
bill, and while shaking the head from
side TO eide, give vent &c Kissing
sounds, slow at first and increasing in
rapidity and eliminating in pro-
longed hiss: uu-chuu-chuu-ch
--chuu chuu - chuu-chuu-ehuu
chuu-chuu-uuu (hiss the syl.
tables without vocaliZing). The sounds
are made in the same tempo as the
drumming and remind one somewhat
of an automobile starting up.

hours, parsding his charms before

Bee Culture In Europe.

Germany is now the premier bee
country of Europe 10000 hives,
10000 tons of honey per year. Spain
comes next, 1880, 600 hives, 10000 tons
of honey Austria-Hungary has third
place, 155O,OOO hives, $4,000 tons of
honey. It is rather surprising to learn
that Frances annual production of
honey is only 10000 tons From 10000
bee hives Greece gets yearly 1.400
tons Of honey; from III 900 hives Rus.
STA gets but 900 tons.

Ingenious French Swindler..

There are under Arrest in Paris eight
men who formed society for swim
ding accident insurance companies.
All were insured in different compan
les and took turns at being knocked
down and injured by carriages, carts
and street cars. Two or three mem
bers of the society were always pres
ent, so that they might give evidence
Of the reality Of the accident. The
men have confessed that they each
made $4,000 out of the companies dur
ing the last two years.

An Error Corrected.

We inadvertently overlooked an error
in reading proof OF head lines in The
True Northerner last week. We stated
that several Jail sentences had been i'm
posed for violation of the local option

imposed during this term Of court. We
also stated that the sheriff made the
arrest of John CRANE at the time of the
shooting last summer. This was also an
error. Deputy Roy Britton made the

Sir Lawrence Alma-Tadema. the dis

in the luckiness OF numbers. His lucky
number is II. His wife was II when
he first met her; the number of the
house to which he took her when they
weer married was II; his present
house hears the same number, and the
first spade was put to the work OF re-
building it on August II, 1886. 1t was
November II that he and his family
first took up their residence there.

Prefer NIGHT Police Duty.

Sixty per cent of the London police
are on the night service, which they
prefer to day service because there is
less to do. One of their main duties
at night is to see that doors and win
dows are barred and to notify the &C.
cupants Of houses when they are not.
Nearly $4,000 doors and windows have
been found open by them in one year.

his wife TO take off his boots. In

reverse to her. A very kind husband
will put a purse in each boot, and

Stations Far from VILLAGES.

1t is popularity of Russian rail-
ways that their stations are generally
two miles distant from the smaller
towns and villages which they serve.
This is said to be on account of the
danger of fire, the houses in small
places generally being matched with
straw.

with four teams, two of which he
sold to the Bonners Ferry Lumber

The fourth team was a fine span OF

THE construction placed upon
the democratic bolt in Bingham
county is that it was a scheme en-
gineered by Senator Dubois to put
up an appearance of Mormon die
tation. The Dubois democrats
staid away from the prim aries pur-
posely. and allowed the opposition
to carry the day. Then followed
the bolt, and the senator is famous
for his bolts, and then the organi-
cation of an American , party"
1t is plainly evident that Senator
Dubois has used the democratic
party for about all it is worth, OF
all he can get out of it, and that he
intends to desert the wreck for
which he is responsible, and fly the
" American party " flag, on a plat
form Of anti-Mormonism and the
of-repeated assertion that he is as
coed a republican as Hepburn OIL
French.

paramount issue in Idaho, and

whether the people, with full

whether they are going to throw
the hand away and draw a new
one. The voter who underi lands

SENATOR DUBOIS says he expects
to win. OF course. The genial
senator said the same thing two
years ago, and yet the state went
republican by a vote of 41,S77 for
the republicans to 24,192 for the
Dub is ticket. The vote in Koote-
mai county was 1855 for Gooding
and 1776 for Heitfeld. For presi-
dent. the republican vote in both
state and county was very much
greater.

THE following is taken from an
opposition paper of this county:
"There have been and are many
classes of this mass of boilers.
Calico was one, SO was that Ger
man priest who. bali way up the
steps at old Rome, rose from his
knees and Bolted Old Martin
Luther was right We trust that
time shall show that we are not
wrong" This is rather a far fetch
ed comparison and slap at the
Catholics. 1t would seem to be
unnecessary to bring religion into
politics.

ANYONE at all familiar with po-
litical conditions in this state
knows that there is no possibility
of preventing a republican major
ity in the legislature. 1t would,
therefore, be folly for any commu-
nifty expecting any special favors
from the legislature to vote to send
democrats to represent them. The
fine ethical points need not be dis
cussed for the plain, bald fact re-
mains that a minority member of
the legislature cannot be expected
to have a great deal of influence in
securing favorable legislation. Bon
ners Ferry wants a bridge, and it
will be to the interest of citizens
here to vote the republican legisla-
tive ticket. The prospect of get
ting bridge, if the election goes
right, is better now than at any
time since the matter was first
taken up, and it might be many
years hence before the opportunity
presented itself again. These sug-
gestions are writer for the
thoughtful consideration of people
who give unbiased study and at
tention to matters that are for the
best interests of the town and sur
rounding country.

BORHH DELIVERS
p GREAT SPEECH
ldahos Brilliant Republican Leader Discusses
the Issues Of the Campaign.

Mormon would show that the laws
were sufficient and would destroy
his Mormon issue.
Mr.. Borah referred to the fact
that Mr.. Dubois had been in con-
gress sixteen years, and had not
been the author of a single law de-
signed to protect the home. Were
Dubois to remain sixteen years
'onger in congress he would do
more, because a law to punish po-
lygamy is a function OF the state
legislature. and not of congress.
" hat law did the Dubois legisla-
lures pass to prohibit or punish
polygamy? Not one. Every such
law was assed by a republican
legislature, and Mr.. Dubois at
tempts to befuddle voters on this
subject because he dare not discuss
American politics before Idaho au-
diences, being wrong on all sub
jects, not the least Of which was
forest reserves.
Mr.. Borah received another ova-
ton when he closed, and many
pressed forward to shake hands
and greet the speaker and other
candidates.
Republican enthusiasm is very
marked in Bonners Ferry, and
greater enthusiasm lad more
workers are in evidence than ever
before The young republicans arc
especially distinguishing tn M
selves, and a careful poll of Bon
ners Ferry precinct shows that the
republican majority of two years
ago will be largely increased.
