THE DUNBAR QUARTETTt
AND BELL RINGERS

1t is remarkable, but neverthe-
less indisputablc fact, that no mat
ter how intricate or classic a mu-
steal composition may be, if it is
rendered by four good male voices,
it appeals alike to the cultured or
the unframed ear. The Dunbar
Ouartettc, which has reached the
pinnacle of excellence and popular
ity in its particular field, will be
at CARROTS opera house on the
evening of March IA, and you can
not afford to miss hearing these
talented vocalists. They have also
established wide reputation as bell
ringers, than which there is no
more popular form of novel musical

Whatever sins of omission and
commission may be chargeable
against United States Senator Fred
T. Dubois, the fact remains that he
is making a grandstand finish.
His last act, the attaching OF an
amendment to the Indian appro-
priatioD bill, carrying $3.50, 600 for
Fort Hall irrigation, certainly en-
dears him to his constituency.
That single accomplishment permits
him to 1etire with good record.
1t is a matter of moment that the
senate paid a high compliment to
Senator Dubois, in accepting his
Fort Hall amendment. With the
exception of this $3.50, 900 item,
all amendments of a salary nature
were stricken from the bill on
points OF order, and it is deemed
a decided compliment to Senator
Dubois that his amendment was al
lowed to stand. -Pocatello Tribune.

One of the saddest things noted
IN life is the way in which aged
parents in a great many instances
arc neglected by their ungrateful
progeny. Instead of making their
declining days a season of rest and
pleasant retrospection, free from all
care and worry, the old folks are
often entirely banished from the
family circle, or made to feel that
they are not wanted-to long for
release from cruel neglect and petty
prosecutions. OF all mean and de-
spicable men and women the worst
sHe surely those who wilfully ne
eject the father and mother who
fhave spent the best years of their
lives in self sacrificing labor for
their sakes. Such children can
never hope to escape just retribu-
tion.

Some day will rise up an editor
and proprietor of great daily pa
per who will be brave enough to
instruct his reporters to make
special efforts to hunt up the count
less deeds of goodness which are
being enacted in the world every
day, and give them at least the
same prominence that is being Civ
en- to vice and crime in all its
phases. Who shall say that the
sending of a basket full of fra
grant flowers to the wards of a
hospital or hamper OF food into
a starving home is not more wor-
thy of record than the brutalizing
details of a brothel fight. 1t is an
insult to beings created in God S
image to say that the morbidly sem
sational is of more interest and
benefit than the good and the. beau
tiful. The taste for the latter is as
susceptible of development as the
former, and it is the duty and
should be the pleasure of every dis
seminator of news and mouldcr of
public opinion to keep this fact
ever in view.
