What is the matter with the
people of our town getting to-
gether In past years that was
one of the strong factors, but of
late there has been too much
dissension, too much silent
knocking. Let US cut out that
kind of business. A town, like
a house, divided against itself
must fall. 1t Will make US all
feel better to work together.
A. J. Pierce returned to Poca-
tello last Thursday morning.
Abe is now a radical G. o. p. man
when he lived at this place
years ago, he was just as radical
in the cause of democracy, and
one term held the Office of county
treasurer of this county being
elected on the democratic ticket,
and he was also a member of the
State Constitutional Convention.
Another new star added to the
flag. Oklahoma and Indian Ter.
have been admitted as one
state. Both territories had the
required population for state
hood. 1t is also proposed to ad-
NIT New Mexico and Arizona as
one state. In the admission of
these territories deep political
lines are taken into consideration
for it would probably mean eight
new democratic United States
Senators.
Rodgers, spoken of in last is
sue, we learn lives in Blaine
county instead of Custer county,
near the county line dividing the
two counties. But the horse or
horses were stolen in Custer
county, says Rodgers. Now the
question is which county is the
lawful county to prosecute the
case 3? Some action it is said
has been taken in the matter by
Blaine county after delay and a
protest from the people. It at
one time looked as though the
supposed guilty party was to be
turned loose without trial.
Our citizens deserve credit for
| the pride they take in our school.
We venture the assertion that
not a student ever went forth
from our little city, but went
away with the best wishes of our
people; they gave him enceur-
agement during school life and
when he departed took him by
the hand and said, God speed
thee. Not one who has finished
the course in our schools, where
yer he may now be, but wishes
our town and her people well, for
it was among our people that he
received the foundation of his
education.
Miss Mabel Burrows, aged 33
years, who has been taking care
of the two little girls of her
brother-in-law j. M. Boggess, at
the home of the latter over in
Oregon about 10 miles from
Weiser, was found dead in bed
Thursday morning resulting
from heart failure. From the
condition of the body it is
thought she had been dead about
eight days. The case is doubly
sad from the fact that for per
haps week the two little tots
remained alone day and night
with the corpse, and only then
were the awful facts revealed
when they appeared at the East
home a mile away where they
were forced on account of thirst
