COLONEL Jim HAMS" TITLE

CEATTLE is full of stories of Colonel James
~ Hamilton Lewis. the present chief Of the
staff of Chicagos Mayor. 1t was in Seattle
that Colonel Jim Ham. as he is known. rose
to his first heights a criminal lawyer. and
where his perSistency won him well-nigh as
much hatred from the Judges then on the
bench as it did admiration from the clients
for whom he pleaded and the on-lookers.
Even in those early days Colonel - Jim
Ham" had way of making friends which
was all his own. One Of these stories tells of
how he won the love of the newsboys of the
western city.
Seattle was much smaller when Colonel
" Jim Ham" was one Of its citizens than it Is
now. 1t had less of the city airs than II has
acquired since that time and the appearance
of silk hat on the streets was a matter
not to be overlooked by the urchins who sold

man appeared mighty yell OF Take it off,

another round or two no higher
price was offered, the slave was
sold.
The further procedure was sim
pie. The purchase was put IN
the charge of one of the buyer
servants, while the buyer himself,
if ne had no further purchase to
make, went to the gateway and
paid a certain amount on account
of his bargain. If he proposed
To buy still more slaves, he re-
NAMED in his place till he had all
he required, and then paid the
substantial deposit that IS de
manded. That being done and
the transaction ended. he would
be free to take his slaves with
him, and the balance of the price
would be demanded of him on the
following day OF a day or two
after. when he had verified all the
statements that the dial had
made on behalf of the former
owner of the slave. The dalai
and his employer, explained my
mentor, were bound by the de-
scriptions given in the market
place.

an ever diminishing train of
slaves, the leader of the group,

great interest in the asylum, and he
was immeasnrably pleased to find it
is in such good condition.
'.In talking of his visit to the
asylum, the doctor said he found
everything in perfect condition, and
he was especially pleased with the
treatment of the patients. That DR..
Hoover had their confidence was
shown by the manner in which they
crowded about him when he ap-
peared among them and by their
evident pleasure in meeting him.

Pioneer Day Celebration.

The Germans of Bear Lake coun-

ebrated Pioneer Day at Glencoe, and
what royal old time they did have.
Most of the Montpelier contingent
went oyer Monday. The program
Tuesday consisted of music,
speeches, boat riding, wrestling
contests and games of various kinds.
In the wrestling contests, which
created great excitement, Jacob
Herschi proved to be the champion
and was awarded the first prize.
Fred Teuscher of Thomas Fork got
second prize; A. Bischoff, third;
Ed Grunig, fourth and Fred Tueller
fifth.
The Bloomington people held
their celebration at Fish Haven, and
several hundred participated in the
festivities of the day.
Nearly all the other settlements
throughout the county observed the
day with appropriate exercises.
Montpelier was about the only
point where there was nothing
doing. Most of the stores were
closed and sort of graveyard still
ness prevailed during the day.
The dance Al the opera house al
night broke the monotony for some
of the young folks.

ROTTEN EGGS FOR EDITGR.
w. E. Smith Of Blackfoot, Treated
to Mess Of Ancient Eggs by
Ladies Of That Town.

The women of Blackfoot have a
manner of doing things that leaves
no room for one doubt what their
feelings are. Last Saturday night
three score or more Of Grove City
ladies supplied themselves with all
the ancient hen fruit they could Sc
cure and proceeding to the home Of
w. K. Smith, editor of the Black
foot Mail, they gave him touch of
high life. They surrounded the
home of the luckless editor and
pelted il with the rotten eggs. The
windows of the house were broken
and the place, inside and out, was
bespattered with the highly scented
hen fruit. During the bombard-
ment Smith was struck by some of
the eggs and he was in sorry look
ing condition when the siege ended.
The cause of this sensational pro-
ceeding was the result of Smiths
treatment of his family. It seems
that about two months ago Smith
instituted divorce proceedings
against his wife, who is highly re-
spected lady of Blackfoot, and SO
utterly shameless were his charges
that the lady, not desiring to air
their troubles in court, made no APP
pearance against him. About two
weeks ago Smith went to Iowa and
married again He arrived in Black.
foot with hls bride last Friday. In
addition to the shameless ground or
which he secured a divorce, 1t wal
known that he had not only mis-
treated his former wife, but had Sc
cured several hundred dollars of hel
money just before he went east.
| The dispatches state that Smiil
has been notified that he must leay,
town and that he is arranging hi
business accordingly.
Saturday nights affair is said t,
have been the greatest sensation
ever experienced by the people o
Blackfoot and the indignation
against Smith is universal

THE POLITICAL SITUATION.
There Premises to be a Lively Time
at State Convention -Borah
Hasn't Votes Enough Yet
to Win Out.

The situation at this time indi-
Gates that the hottest contest ever
waged at republican gathering in
Idaho will be fought at the state
convention which convenes in Poca-
tello next Wednesday. All of the
county conventions have been held
except IN Washington and Custer,
which will name their delegates to-
morrow.
Bingham county went on record
yesterday as favoring the nomina
tlon of Borah for Senator, while
Nez Perce took an emphatic stand
against the nomination plan, the
resolutions going so far as to declare
that "sbould the state convention
endorse the nomination of senator,
the Legislative pominees will not be
bound TO support such candidate
IN the legislature"
Up to date, Borah has 1l9 in
structed delegates, with Washing
ton, Elmore and Custer to hear
from. If he gets all three of these
it will give him 20 more votes, or
short of enough to control the con-
vention. 1t is knows, however,
that of the Oneida and I of the
Fremont delegates have declared
that they will not abide by their in
structions. If they stand by their
declarations, it will reduce Borah's
strength by ~ votes.
Nez Perce and Latah passed reso-
lutlons strongly endorsing Gooding
but In Bingham a Gooding reso
luton was defeated. Ada county
is also silent on the gubernatorial
question. Their deyotlon to Borah
was SO great that Ada republicans
even failed to mention Hepburn or
French and also forgot to say
whether they were in favor of Judge
Stewart of Boise for the supreme
bench. The facts are, the Ada
delegation will come to Pocatello
prepared to trade everything in
sight for votes for Borah.
While the situation at this time
Is some what complicated, it does
not s. EN- possible that any combina-
ton can be made that will defeat
Gooding's nomination.
But it is certain that there will be
a hot time IN the old town of Poca.
tello for several days next week.

Trying to Consolidate.

Judge Standrod, who is heavily
interested In the Paris Electric Light
company. was here Monday evening
consulting with members of the
Montpelier Light company on the
proposition of consolidating the Two
companies. We understand that
terms of consolidation were not
agreed upon, but the question is
still under consideration. In the
event that the companies eonsoll-
date, you may expect to see the
price of lights go up a5 per cent

A communication was read from
County Attorney Austin stating that
the county commissioners had or
dered that the city dumping ground
near the old slough bridge, west of
the city, had become a public
nuisance and that the same must be
abated for the reason that it was un
sanitary and unsitely and is COM
planned of by the travelling public.
On motion the Chief of Police
was instructed to see if the nuisance
could not be abated.
On motion the rules were sus
pended and Ordinances Nos. 80 and
81 were passed.
The council adjourned until next
Monday, when claims against the
city that have accumulated during
the past three months, will be al
lowed.
