IN owYHEE COUNTY
PoTosr.

At the Potosi during the past week a
concrete foundation has been built for
the compressor and during this time
work was continued by hand on No 2
level.
The ore bodies on this level continue
to hold their own both in size and val.
ne and considerable ore is being saved
from the drift which varies from $50 to
sl70 per ton.
An accident to the electric hoist de-
layed operations for twenty four hours
The new ore buckets are expected To
arrive within day or two.

THE BANNER.

Work has been progressing steadily
on both north and south drifts on the
Webster vein from the crosscut tunnel
level. The north drift is now in l07 feet
where the vein is five feet wide; and the
south drift 12S feet with the vein seven
feet wide. Both ways the ore has been
low grade but increasing in value.
Ten men with four horses and plow
are now employed in building a road to
connect the Trade Dollar road with the
mouth of the crosscut tunnel, and the
road will be completed early next week
so that timbers can be taken to the tun-
mel, when the work of continuing the
upraise from the Webster level to the
surface will be begun. This will de-
termine whether the Webster and Ban
ner are the same vein, give more venti-
lation and prospect considerable new
ground.

Judge Edward Nusent Dead.


After nearly seven years suffering,
since stricken with paralysis and taken
to st. Alphonsus' hospital, Boise, and
cared for by his devoted wife, who was
called from him by Death last January,
deprived OF his strong mentality, Judge
Nugent suffered on alone until relieved
by the, to him, kind hand of Death.
We quote from the Boise Statesman the
following sketch of his busy life and
career:
Mr.. Nugent was born in Brooklyn,
N. Y, in the year 1885. His mother
died while he was still little child aud
his father sent him to a school in Eliza
bethtown, N. j., where he was a school
mate of the children of General Win
field Scott and jerome Bonaparte. He
remained at the school for several years
and later entered the Jesuit college at
Georgetown, near Washington, D. c.,
where he graduated in the 1856. He
graduated with high honors, having
mastered five languages and standing
in the front rank in all his other
studies.
After |, aving the college he went back
to New York where he remained but a
short time. Afterwards going to Cali
fornia by way of the Isthmus of Pana-
ma he went to San Francisco in the
latter part of the year 1856. In the lat
ter city he entered the law Office where
he remained until 1859 when he went
to Portland where he was admitted to
the bar and formed partnership with
a Mr.. Gibbs who later became governor
of the state. Later he formed a part
nership with man named O'Farrell, a
prominent lawyer of the same city.
After practicing in Portland for several
years Mr.. Nugent went to Walla Walla
county while it was still so large that it
took in a portion of Idaho and Mon
tana. Shortly after the discovery Of
gold in the basin in Idaho, Mr.. Nugent
came to Idaho City and while practicing
law there was elected to the district
attorneyship of Boise county. In 1854
he went to Silver City and in 1865 was
married in Boise to Miss Agnes Frost
who died last January.
After the marriage the couple went
to Silver City where they lived contin-
uously until 1890, when Mr.. Nugent
was elected judge of the third judicial
district at that time embracing Ada,

The most serious problem n a on

The people OF the rural communities

their local merchants and sending
their dollars to the who have
absolutely no interest in their com
munities.
These catalogue houses do not nav

chant does. They do not build side

chant does. They do not contribute
to the building OF roads over which
the crops of the farms are hauled to

To Walk Gracefully.

Every woman should aspire to look
as well as possible upon all occasions.
If she will make up her mind to sit,
stand and walk gracefully. she will go
far toward accomplishing this state OF
continually looking her best. Ii is not
difficult If you will only %persovere.
The natural positions of the body are
invariably correct and stiffness is the
only thing to be guarded against. A
woman should never hurry II she
wants to look well. but should strive
TO attain a reposeful when
walking. She should lift her foot light
ly. SD that when she takes a step it
will swing naturally with the toe
downward. A person should be able
to balance at any moment upon the
single loot that Is supposed To be car
rying the walkers weight. II this
can be done II is proof that the body
is properly poised, says Woman's Life.
If we accustom ourselves to holding
the body gracefully when sitting and
standing. IL will assume that position
naturally when we ags walking.

They do not help 10 build school
houses for your children; the local
merchant does. They do not assist in
the support of your churches; the
local merchant does.
But there are some things the cata-
logue houses do for you and the
first and greatest of these is to assist
materially in b~ankrupting your com
munity. The dollars they take away
lever come back TO you. They will
never help to make a city of your viii
lage. They will never increase the
value OF your real-estate holdings by
making local Improvements.
Let us look at the subject from the
standpoint of the farmer, for it is the
farmer who is the greatest patron of
the catalogue houses.
The town o. village one, two or
three miles from his home is his mar
ket for the butter and eggs and other
produce of his farm. The half dozen
or more merchants Of the town, each
anxious to obtain his full share of the
business of the community, maintain
a competition that affords TO the
farmer at all times top prices for the
products of his farm. 1t is these half
dozen merchants that make farm
profits possible; the profits are In no
way due to the catalogue houses OF
the cities.
But the farmer persists in sending
his dollars to the city. He wants a
buggy. or a set of harness, or a pair
of stockings, or any OF the necessities
or luxuries of life, and to get them he
takes out his mail order catalogue and
looks at the finely printed cuts, reads
the we'll written description, and, pass
Ing the local merchant by, the mer-
chant who has purchased his produce
at the best market prices, the mer-
chant who has helped to build the
community. he sends his dollars to
the catalogue house in the city and
takes what they choose TO send him.
What is the result?
One after another the doors of the
local stores are closed. and where at
one time there were half a dozen mer-
chants, each bidding for his share OF
patronage by Offering fair prices for
that which the farmer had to sell,
there is now but one merchant who
has a monopoly. not only of the sell
Ing. but of the buying as well, and he
paws what he pleases for the farmers
produce.
The farmer a continue to send his
mon TO the catalogue house In the
city for his supplies, but he cannot
send his produce to the same place.
