PROOF VS.. TRUTH IN LAW COURTS.
By Laurence Housman

The most famous question ever put by Judge

That it should have gone unanswered, if honest

TRUTH? Is such reading far fetched? AS

WEDDING BELLS.
Morning Post.l

Last night at Q O'Clock, at the hom,
OF Hon. II. W. kicfcr on the cas-,
side, occurred the wedding of his
daughter. Elsie, to Frank L. Bradley
Both bride and groom are we'll known
in this city, the bride being the
daughter OF State Senator II. w
kicfcr, while the groom is promis
ing young lawyer OF this city. Only
the immediate family of the bride and
a few intimate friends were present
at the ceremony, Judge Crowley pro-
nouncing the words that made them
man and wife. Following the cere-
mony dainty lunch was served.
And then--
TO those inside the house it seemed
that pandemonium had broken loose.
What at first was thought to be a
crowd of small boys proved to be a
number of the friends of the bride and
groom, who, upon short notice, had
gathered up such noise-making nppar-
atus as was available and descended
on the kicfer home.
Noise?
Well, some!
Take about twenty-five young men
and women, fully armed with tin cans
and the possessors of healthy voices,
and turn them lossc on a "shiuaree"
and somebody's going to hear them.
They were heard
Ice cream and cake for the ladies
and cigars for the gentlemen were
produced, and an hour of jolli6cation
followed. ,,.,
But Young America also heard.
He pricked up his ears and listened,
and smile of unholy joy spread over
his face. When his seniors had de-
parted he carefully gathered up the
tin-can paraphernalia, and about mid
night the neighborhood was again
awakened by fearful clatter.
The small boy was in action.

inuc to reside i'll thos city

Some Shooting

The Dick p. Sutton show was here
Monday night and gave a very unsatis-
factory performance. After the show
some of the employees were drinking
about town, and, as one of them was re-
turning to the car at AS in the morning,
he did some shooting in the air. Night
officer Henry Simmons went after him
and called to him to put up his gun. He
responded with an epithet and said some
thing about filling him (Simmons) with
lead, when Mr.. Simmons sent bullet
through his thighs.
He fell and became docile at once.
Some men who had been attracted by
the shooting, helped to carry him to the
car where he was given surgical aid. He
was very much sobered by the shot and
said he blamed nobody but himself.

SOME DIFFERENCE IN THIS

Last fall man of our acquaintance
thought he would do little dry farm
ing, but instead of following the
Campbell system he struck out on
plan of his own. He followed the
harvest with the disc. AS soon as the
ground was in condition he disced it
again and then again blowing. He
plowed five rods wide around forty
acre piece and then for some reason
stopped for while. During this
time an enormous growth OF weeds
came up on the unplowed piece. The
field was literally covered to a height
of fifteen inches. Then he went on
with his plow and turned the weeds
under as fertilizer, but the weeds
had sapped the moisture from that
ground so that it broke up into
Jumps. He worked the piece there
after exactly the same as the strip
around the outside. At harvest time
the outside strip had two and one
half times as much grain as the in
side. This man never thought he was
doing anything to make such radical
difference. In the early blowing the
ground was moist and, falling back,
it settled down firmly, which is the
secret of success.-Field and Farm.

The Baccalaureate Address

Sunday evening Rev. Haley talked to
the graduating class at the Methodist
church, in the presence of full house.
He emphasized the thought that a
graduation is more a starting out than
completion; more commencement
than finish of work. He talked about
Jehu, who aimed carefully and shot hard.
His arrows hit the mark. The class was
advised to make careful preparation, aim
at something definite and throw all their
energy and individuality into the effort
Not spasmodic, exhaustive effort, but
the long, steady, persistent effort, always
pushing in the same direction--toward
the goal or target.
The Misses Wolfe and Lemon sang a
very pretty duet, and, at the close of the
service, F. T. Richards sang solo en-
titled "Dry Those Tears" which was
especially good.

Smith Kinney

Last Wednesday evening Charles w.
Kinney and Pearl j. Smith were united
in marriage, Rev. &. G. Haley officiating.
The wedding took place at the cosy
future home of the Bride and Groom, on
Schilling Avenue. The Bride looked
very pretty in white aeollan and carried
a boquet of Brides roses. The Groom
was attired in conventional black. Miss
Maud Kinney made charming Brides
maid gowned in light blue silk NULL
Immediately after the ceremony the
guests repaired to the dining room
where dainty refreshments were served
at tables prettily decorated with smilax,
white lilacs Bnd white carnations. Many
nice and useful presents were received.
They were serenaded with several kinds
of music. First came the discordant
music of Young America on tin pans,
then the martial music of the Blackfoot
Cornet Band, followed by the sweet
strains of Mandolin club. The student
body OF the High school also paid it's
compliments with few selections of
vocal music.

SOIL TREATMENT THE BASIS.

Successful arid farming rests pri-
marily upon the proper treatment OF
the soil. The soil must be plowed
deeply. No scratching of the ground
to depth of four or FIVE inches will
DO. Deep plowing permits the en-
trance of all water that falls as snow
or rain and makes the soil capable
Of holding more of it. Soils having
a hard pan within one to one and one
half feet of the surface should be
avoided as far as possible Depth of
soil in arid farming is one of the
principle requisites.
Fall blowing is indispensable for
the best results. The plowed ground
absorbs water during the fall and
winter months, and at the same time
the weathering of the soil sets free
plant food.
Much is yet to be done in the mat
ter of selecting the right crops to
grow, and the best varieties of these
crops for the future success of arid
farming will probably depend as
much upon the discovery of plants
adapted to arid conditions, as upon
greater enlightenment in the methods
OF soil culture.
In the writer's opinion. the day is
not far distant when the wheat Of the
inter mountain states, as we'll as some
others of our most staple crops, will
be produced on. our now undeveloped
sage brush deserts, and thus make
room on our irrigated farms, where the
land is worth from 500 to 81 900 per
acre, for the growing Of more profit
able products.-Scientifc Farmer.
