ger. His mind, bent dpon one hideous
explanation of the crime, did not see
another obvious one which had already
occurred to the mind of the landlord of
The Three Spaniards.
Heaven defend mev' cried Mr.. Mog-
ford, scanning by the pale light of the
rising moon the features of the muir
dered man, "but it Is Lord Bellasis!
oh, you villain! Jem, bring him here;
p'r'aps his lordship can recognize him!"
1T was not Ip' cried Richard Devine.
"AIy lord, say Then he stopped
abruptly, and being forced on his knees
by his captors, remained staring at the
dying man in sudden and CHASTITY fear.
Those men Ia whom emotion has the
effect of quickening circulation of the
blood, reason rapidly in moments of
danger and in that terrible instant,
when his eyes met those of Lord Bella
sis, Richard Devine had summed up
the chances of his future fortune, and
realized to the full his personal peril.
The runaway horse had given the alarm.
The drinkers at The Spaniards Inn had
started to search the Heath, and had
discovered a fellow in rough costume,
whose person was unknown to them,
hastily quitting a spot where, beside
ritled pocketbook and a blood-stained
whip, lay dying man.
The web of clrcumstantial evidence
had enmeshed him. An hour ago es-
cape would have been easy. He would
have had but to cry, II am the son of
Sir Richard Devine. Come with me to
yonder house and l will prove to you
that l have just quit it," to place his
innocence beyond immediate question.
That course of action was impossible
now. Knowing Sir Richard as he did,
and believing, moreover, that in his rag
ing passion the old man had himself
met and murdered Lord Bellasis, he saw
himself in a position which would COM
pei him to sacrifice himself He knelt,
stupefied, unable to speak or move.
Come" cried Mogford, again; "say,
my lord, is this the villain?"
Lord Bellasis rallied his failing senses,
his glazing eyes stared into his sons
face with a horrible eagerness; he shook
his head, raised a feeble arm as though
to point elsewhere, and fell back dead.
IF you didn't murder him, you rob-
bed him." growled Mogford, "and you
shall sleep at Bow street tonight. Tom,
run on to meet the patrol, and tell him
to leave word at the Gate-house that
I've a passenger for the coach! Bring
him on, Jack! What is your name,
ell 2"
He repeated the rough question twice
before his prisoner answered but at
length Richard Devine raised a pale
face which stern resolution had already
hardened into defiant manhood, and
said, "Dawes-Rufus Dawes"
His new life had begun already; for
that night one Rufus Dawes, charged
with murder and robbery, lay awake in
prison, waiting for the fortune of the
morrow.
Two other men waited as eagerly.
One, Mr.. Lionel Crofton; the other, the
horseman who had appointment with
the murdered Lord Bellass under the
shadow of the ir-trees on Hampstead
Heath. AS for Sir Richard Devine, he
waited for no one, for upon reaching
his room he had fallen senseless in a fit
Of apoplexy.

A vicar, John Printer of Worle. is
accused in 1884 of having got so
drunk "at a Taverne in London, be-
ing the howse and Bigne of the Swami
In old Fysh Street." that he had to
be carried to his Lodginge, or some
other convenient place (he) being 80
dronck, not liable hym-sealf to GOO

being "a common player at Bowles In
the churchyard of Worle (hIs own

ernes, alehouses, Bearbeatinge (bait-
ing) and Bul-beatinge, yea. upon the

AN INDIAN SPORT.

"Ptg-Sttcl<ing' Is an Exciting Pas
time Which Has It's Perils.
The Prince of Wales, who has been
travelling in India, and incidentally
having one of the best times ever ex-
perienced In his royal career, won
the admiration of hundreds OF arsto-
cratic natives because of the keen In.
terest he took in all of the sports Of
that far-off land. The dark skinned
gentlemen who lend an air of romance
to the social and official life of India,
do not spend all their time lounging
In Wide, tapping trousers and noun

queer-looking pipes, as they are al

THE FARMER BOY.

Pulling the weeds from the garden
Driving the cows home at night,
Dropping the corn In the springtime
Mailing a pale on tight
Hunting for eggs in the barnyard,
Looking for turkeys astray,
Carrying lunch to the reapers,
Tossing the new-mown hay;
Riding the horses to water,
Feeding the chickens and cows,
Throwing the hay to the managers,
Down from the fragrant mows;
withdrawing corn-cribs and fences
Gathering fruit from the trees,
Covering flower beds in autumn,
For fear of an early freeze;
Pumping the clear, cold water,
Chopping an arm-load of wood
These are the farmboy's gymnastics;
They're cheap, but none the less good
Unknown.

Captain Ryan Explains.

In behalf Of people who have
been worrying about the prospects
of their boys in company F hav-
ing to 60 to the Orient IN case Of
trouble with China, we interview
ed Captain Ryan to learn what
ri Shts or privileges members of
the National Guard have in such
an event, and received the follow
lug statement:
"There is of course some dam
ger of trouble with China which
would call for troops, and in that
event, regulars will move from
the Philippines, to China and
their places filled with regiments
Of tn. National Guard" "
To accomplish this all companies
in Idaho, if Idaho were called
upon, would be assembled in
Boise. The commanding officer
of each company would report the
number of men in his company
who wanted to serve. These
would be mustered into service
and the others would be allowed
to go home. Those who went into
service would be equipped aud
quartered in some park until they
we're wanted, and would then be
s.nt to the Philippines, subject to
duty where ever they might be
wanted.

Capital News vs.. Brady.

The fact that j. Ii. Brady has
been announced as possible can
didate for United States senator,
has caused the Capital News
s atesman combination TO work
overtime. just why the'name OF
Brady should shock.the sensitive
nerve center of the combination
is hard to determine. Mr.. Brady
has a perfect right to announce
his name for the senate or any
other office In fact, if the mat
ter of service to, the state is con-
sidered. he Is head and, shoulders
above Mr.. Borah. 1t was.through
Mr.. Brady's foresight that the
canal system of southern { Idaho
has been enlarged. He has prov
en- himself to be a liberal man in
all matters that look to the swel-
fare of the state. 1t is true that
he has made money by bis invest
ments but for that he is to be COM
mended. But how about Mr..
Borah, has he ever "made two
blades of grass grow where but
one grew before!"
1t is true that he is the legal
representative of the lumber syn
dicate; he IS the attorney for those
men who have been indicated by
the United States grand jury, yet
he is being boosted for senator
because he is well equipped to Took
after the Interests of the people(!)

Our Commercial Club.

There is a popular movement
now on in Idaho to have com
mercial club in every town and a
federation of commercial clubs for
Southern Idaho. The first meet
ing of the federation will be at
Weiser March 18th. A number
of the business men of Blackfoot
who have been asked recently as
to the advisabllity of getting IN
line and helping to boom Idaho
while the boom is easy, or having
a commercial club for any pur-
pose, have, with one or two ex
ceptions, expressed indifference
about it. Some say they think it
would be a good thing, but do not
care to take an active part IN 1t.
Others think the town is not large
enough, and still others are I'M
willing to act unless all the others
Join aud do their part.
The Republican has been boost
ing this idea for over year, and
now the farmers have taken it up.
The farmers have been telling for
the past ten years, Just what the
business men of |Blackfoot ought
to do, for public benefit, and now
they have decided to do it them
selves. Looks good to us.

Farmers Organize.

There is movement being
made to form an organization
among the Farmers of the entire
! Snake River Valley INTO what is
to be known as the Farmers Pro-
tective Association, to promote
the interests of the Farmers and
the entire population of the ' alley.
The first object is to try to
make for the Snake River Valley
whal the, "Greeley Potato Grow
ers Association" have done for
Greeley Colo. by improving the
seed used and growing potatoes
on scientific principles and making
a business of the potato crop,
growing them in 40 and 80 acre
tracts in lieu of in one and two
acre tracts.
To properly grade them and
prepare them for market, and to
market them and procure their
market values for the farmers and
not give half the value of the crop
to commission merchants in order
to get them to the market after
they are grown.
Also to improve the kinds of

Trust and other combinations of
capital which are expressing the
farmers and people in general.
W. d. Trego of BIackfoot, is
heading the movement and has
been holding meetings in different
parts of the Valley and has met
with almost universal success
among the farmers who have turn
ed out to the meetings.
Every farmer should turn out to
the meetings and give the move
ment his hearty support as it will
require concerted effort to make
the plan entirely successful, and
if successful it will mean the bet
terment of the conditions not only
of the farmers but of every per-
son who is interested in the Val
ley.
1t will mean more and better
crops and better prices.
At the present time there can
be seen insthe windows of the

"Greeley potatoes S1.65 per

"Idaho potatoes 81. 10 per cwt. .
What have we done to have this
discrimination made against US of
55c on the price of potatoes grown
by us?
1t is simply what we are not

8S Heber Austin, general agfl-
cuIturst for the Idaho Sugar Com
pany, has been spending some
time here recently, and the Re
publican writer found an oppor-
tnnity this week to get an expires,
zion from him about the work OF
thisSseason and the plan for carry
ing it out.
For long time there has been
grave doubt among the beet grow.
ers as to the advisability of plant
ing beets extensively, and many
maintained that the price should
be increased at least fifty cents a
ton to make it profitable to the
grower. The light yield last year,
coupled with problems as to its
cause have made this important
crop a disagreeable subject to DIS
cuss. aud while individuals have
been doing much solid thinking
and some talking among them
selves, the local press has said
but little except to announce what
was done in the institutes, aud re-
view the theories brought out at
the meetings as to why the crop
had not brought satisfactory re
turns. y
We have heard the expr essions
OF many beet growers on the sub
iect, and some attribute the poor
crop to the planting of poor seed,
others to late planting, Others to
having planted on spring plowing
which became too dry to germinate
the seed right, and still Others to
the lack of moisture during the
winter, light spring showers 'that
kept the surface looking good
while the roots Of the beets had
nothing to feed them to any depth.
The sudden drought which always
follows when the showers cease
and the winds blow, stunted the
beets, the field men advised
against watering, the river unex-
pectedly went dry when the beets
were in desperate need of irriga
ton, and there was no develop
ment. These are some of the
theories advanced by farmers, and
those who speak of poor seed,
blame the sugar company for it
Those who speak of spring plow
ing, lack of rain and snow in win
ter and the presence of the decep-
tive spring showers are scolding
ing themselves and the fieldmen
for not studying those conditions
at the time and taking action to
meet the conditions. Then, in
the matter of the river going dry.
everybody wishes that Referee F.
J. Cowan would get gait on him
